Although Xiao Lin already had some suspicions regarding the past of the Yun Lan Sect, he certainly did not know as much as the current Sect Master, Yun Shan.
At this moment, after the initial excitement of hearing the name of the Dou Technique, Wind's Peak: Annihilation, Yun Shan had gradually calmed down on the surface, but his heart was still struggling to settle!
Xiao Lin could clearly see this from the look in his eyes.
"Apologies, I have lost my composure."
"Teacher, are you alright?"
Although Yun Shan had slowly calmed down, the young Yun Yun by his side was still a bit worried about him.
"Don't worry, Yun'er, Teacher is fine."
Seeing the concern in his disciple's eyes, Yun Shan felt a warmth in his heart and comforted her.
After comforting his disciple, Yun Shan shifted his gaze back to Xiao Lin. At this moment, he desperately wanted to know where Xiao Lin had heard the name of the Dou Technique, Wind's Peak: Annihilation.
Naturally, he asked exactly that.
"Xiao Lin, can you tell me where you heard the name of the Dou Technique, Wind's Peak: Annihilation?"
When he asked this, the tension on Yun Shan's face was plain to see.
After all, if he could regain the Dou Techniques and Cultivation Techniques that the Yun Lan Sect had once lost, he could definitely break through the bottleneck of the Peak Nine-Star Dou Huang that had stuck him for several years within a single month!
In reality, Yun Shan's natural talent was not poor. Relying only on a High-Level Xuan Grade Cultivation Technique, he had managed to break through to Peak Nine-Star Dou Huang decades before the main plot began.
If he were given an Earth Grade Cultivation Technique, he could absolutely break through to the Dou Zong realm on his own without relying on the Hall of Souls.
If he were to regain the lost Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques of the Yun Lan Sect, reaching the Dou Zun realm was not out of the question.
Therefore, when he heard Xiao Lin mention the name of the Dou Technique, Wind's Peak: Annihilation, his heart immediately flared with heat. After all, this was a Dou Technique from the Earth Grade chapter of the Wind's Peak series!
As the Sect Master of the Yun Lan Sect, how could he not be familiar with the sect's signature Wind's Peak series of Dou Techniques? But now, the Yun Lan Sect only possessed the Xuan Grade and Huang Grade chapters.
That's right, the series of Wind's Peak Cultivation Techniques created by the founding ancestor of the Yun Lan Sect, Yun Potian, was originally divided into three major chapters: Huang Grade, Xuan Grade, and Earth Grade.
Returning to the present, under Yun Shan's expectant gaze, Xiao Lin spoke in the next second.
"I saw a member of the Imperial Family using this Dou Technique in the Sky Serpent Empire."
To avoid exposing his true strength, Xiao Lin did not provide too much detail.
But he wasn't lying either.
After all, the Emperor of the Sky Serpent Empire perfectly matched the description he gave!
However, as Xiao Lin mentioned the Sky Serpent Empire's Imperial Family, Yun Shan's originally burning heart was instantly doused like a bucket of cold water had been thrown over it; he was completely deflated.
"The Sky Serpent Empire Imperial Family..."
Muttering to himself, Yun Shan's eyes became vacant.
One had to realize, that was the Sky Serpent Empire!
What did his current Yun Lan Sect have to even compare to the Sky Serpent Empire?
Let alone snatching back the Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques that their Yun Lan Sect had lost. He feared that as soon as he showed up at their door, they would silence him on the spot and wipe out the Yun Lan Sect while they were at it.
It could be said that once Xiao Lin revealed that the person using Wind's Peak: Annihilation was a member of the Sky Serpent Empire's Imperial Family, Yun Shan had already extinguished the thought of reclaiming the Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques.
With the Yun Lan Sect's current scale, how could they talk back in front of the Sky Serpent Empire, the overlord of the Northwestern Region? Even when the Yun Lan Sect was at its peak, it wasn't necessarily able to suppress the Sky Serpent Empire, let alone now.
A bitter smile spread across Yun Shan's face.
First a pleasant surprise, then a terrifying shock; his heart really couldn't take it!
"Teacher..."
Looking at her teacher's bitter expression, little Yun Yun spoke up in worry again.
This time, Yun Shan only patted Yun Yun's small head but didn't say anything more. For Yun Shan, the most painful thing in the world was knowing where his sect's lost inheritance was, but being powerless to take it back.
"Sigh, I am a sinner of the Yun Lan Sect!"
A feeling of self-reproach filled Yun Shan's heart.
To this, Xiao Lin just watched silently and didn't say much. Although the lost inheritance of the Yun Lan Sect was now in his hands, it was obviously impossible for him to just give it back to the Yun Lan Sect like that.
He wasn't running a charity.
However, if it were a trade with the Yun Lan Sect, that wouldn't be impossible!
"Sect Master Yun Shan!"
Xiao Lin's call finally snapped the self-reproaching Yun Shan back to his senses.
"Oh, apologies, Xiao Lin, once again I have shown you a side of me losing my composure."
This was already the second time Yun Shan had apologized today.
To this, Xiao Lin simply shook his head.
"Sect Master Yun Shan, is it possible to tell me now what happened to the Yun Lan Sect in the past?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the Dou Technique used by that member of the Sky Serpent Empire's Imperial Family I encountered during my travels should have originally belonged to the Yun Lan Sect, right?"
Xiao Lin brought up the topic once more.
This time, Yun Shan did not question Xiao Lin back. Since Xiao Lin had brought him such news, telling him about the past of the Yun Lan Sect was no big deal. After all, this wasn't some secret that couldn't be shared.
"Yes, the Wind's Peak: Annihilation you mentioned is one of the styles from the Earth Grade chapter of the Wind's Peak series."
"This Dou Technique, along with other Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques above the Earth Grade, was lost over three hundred years ago during a man-made disaster when the Yun Lan Sect was in the hands of the fourth-generation Sect Master."
At this time, Yun Shan spoke slowly.
These secrets were only recorded briefly in the ancient records of the Yun Lan Sect. Because it was not a very honorable matter, basically only the Sect Master and the Young Sect Master of the Yun Lan Sect were qualified to read them.
Yun Yun was still young, so she likewise did not know about these things.
Now, hearing her teacher mention it, her expression naturally became extremely solemn.
"A man-made disaster?"
The term in Yun Shan's mouth immediately caught Xiao Lin's attention.
"That's right, a man-made disaster!"
Speaking to this point, Yun Shan remembered the contents of the records, and his teeth began to itch with resentment.
"I wonder if Sect Master Yun Shan could tell me a bit more? Of course, if it involves the secrets of the Yun Lan Sect, I won't pry too much."
Xiao Lin was not one to force others.
After all, the suspicion in his heart had already been verified, hadn't it?
"No matter, it's just some less-than-honorable history of the Yun Lan Sect, and it won't reveal any of our sect's secrets. Besides, since you brought me such news today, Xiao Lin, I should naturally tell you the truth!"
Waving his hand, Yun Shan didn't seem to care much about it.
Just as he said, although the past was not honorable, it wasn't a top secret, and it wouldn't leak any critical information.
