The beautiful fire lotus collided with the dazzling light, producing a tremendous roar. Even the aftershocks shook the great formation formed by the Yunlan Sect disciples.
Seeing this, Yun Leng hurriedly flew above the great formation, rapidly injecting his powerful battle qi into it, thus stabilizing the formation that was about to shatter.
Inside the formation, smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring everyone's vision, while the continuously spreading energy waves shattered the perception of many Dou Wangs. Therefore, everyone stared intently at the center of the plaza, awaiting the final outcome. Even
the many Dou Wangs from the Jia Ma Empire wore serious expressions. Judging from the two's cultivation levels alone, they would likely reach their current levels within ten years. And this final, hidden killing move of the two would severely injure even ordinary Dou Wangs if they were not careful.
After the energy stopped fluctuating, the Yunlan Sect disciples simultaneously dispelled the great formation, staring intently at the gradually dissipating smoke and dust.
"What!"
"Young Sect Master, how could she!?" "
Impossible! Young Sect Master has already reached the Dou Ling realm, how could she possibly fail!"
"Xiao Yan definitely cheated! I refuse to accept this! I demand that the Sect Master and the Grand Elder make a decision!"
"..."
"Silence!"
Yun Leng shouted angrily, his tone filled with disbelief, for the situation on the field was truly unexpected.
Nalan Yanran lay miserably on the square, her clothes torn, blood flowing freely, her breath faint. Before her, Xiao Yan, equally wretched, stood, his massive black ruler pointing directly at the fallen Nalan Yanran.
"Nalan Yanran, you lost!"
"Xiao Yan, you won! According to the agreement, whether I become your slave or your servant, whether you kill me or torture me, I have no complaints!"
Nalan Yanran struggled to her feet, finally only raising her head, her face resolute as she gazed at Xiao Yan not far away.
"Yanran!"
"Young Sect Master!"
"..."
Hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Yun Yun, Nalan Jie, and the others spoke up, but were stopped by her gaze, looking resolutely at Xiao Yan, awaiting his final decision.
"Young friend Xiao Yan, our Yunlan Sect has lost today. We hope you will spare the Young Sect Master. You may name your conditions."
Yun Leng said to Xiao Yan. With Lin Feng's support earlier, Yun Leng didn't say anything impolite. Moreover, after Lin Feng took Qing Lin away and later plotted to kill Mo Cheng, the Mo family had become extremely low-key. Therefore, before this, Xiao Yan had no other conflicts with the Yunlan Sect.
"Hahaha, no need!"
Xiao Yan laughed loudly, his laughter filled with relief, joy, and other complex emotions. He took out a letter from his storage ring, the word "reunion" on it standing out conspicuously in the eyes of many powerful figures. He shattered it with a palm strike, letting the fragments scatter in front of Nalan Yanran. Xiao Yan turned around and walked down the mountain of the Yunlan Sect without looking back.
"Nalan Yanran, from this day forward, there is no longer any connection between us!"
Xiao Yan's carefree words left Nalan Yanran slumped to the ground, watching the sunlight shine on Xiao Yan's back, his young and upright figure seemed to touch Nalan Yanran's heart.
On the high platform, although Yun Leng and the others looked grim, with the leaders of many powerful forces in the Jia Ma Empire watching, they couldn't afford to make any underhanded moves. The Yunlan Sect could lose, but it couldn't afford to ruin its centuries-old reputation with petty tricks.
"Young friend Xiao Yan, please wait! This old man still has a question. Please pause!"
Just when everyone thought the matter was over and that the young Xiao Yan would leave as the victor, an aged voice suddenly rang out in the square. Upon hearing this voice, Yun Leng's expression brightened.
"Old Sect Master!"
"Teacher!"
"Greetings, Old Sect Master!"
The aged voice first slowly rang in everyone's ears, and then a figure dressed in white, with an ethereal aura, suddenly appeared in the air above the square, standing in mid-air.
Seeing this, Yun Leng and Yun Yun bowed slightly to the newcomer, while many Yunlan Sect disciples showed joy and stood up to pay their respects loudly. Xiao Yan, seeing this, looked rather unpleasant.
"What does this senior mean? Does the Yunlan Sect have a sore loser mentality and want to bully a junior like me in front of everyone?"
The situation caused Xiao Yan some panic, but his years of experience had some effect, and he remained relatively calm. This situation was vastly different from the original story. Because of Lin Feng, Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong had no interaction.
Hai Bodong's seal had long been broken by Lin Feng, and the Mittel family had even taken out numerous rare and precious spiritual herbs from their treasury to exchange for pills like the Purple Spirit Pill, Royal-grade Pills, and Five Elements Pills. Several years had passed, and Hai Bodong had already reached the eight-star Dou Huang realm.
It could be said that if it weren't for one of the F4 members of the capital breaking through to the Dou Zong realm, Hai Bodong's combat power would have been a 50/50 chance in a peak match.
As for the truly top-tier combat power, Queen Medusa, there was no need to mention her; she had already been taken into Lin Feng's household. At this moment, Xiao Yan only had Yao Lao, whose combat strength was unknown, and he hadn't been informed of Yao Chen's agreement with Lin Feng.
With a Dou Zong expert standing before him, Xiao Yan inevitably felt a little flustered.
"Young friend Xiao Yan, there's no need to panic. I only have a question I'd like you to answer. After you've asked, you can naturally leave the mountain."
Unaffected by Protector Lu's evil aura, and with Lin Feng having already dispelled Protector Lu's control over him, Yun Shan truly appeared as a sage.
"I only want to ask, where did that cold white flame on your body come from?"
"Hehehe, Yun Shan, why be polite with him? He's just a minor Great Dou Master. Today, he's at our mercy, hehehe."
Before Xiao Yan could respond, a chilling, cunning laugh, chilling to the bone, came from nowhere, followed by an evil black mist that suddenly appeared from the back mountain of the Yunlan Sect, rapidly spreading towards the area.
"Youngster, you'd better obediently reveal Yao Chen's whereabouts, otherwise, this protector has plenty of ways to deal with you, hehehehe."
The black mist that appeared before everyone surged continuously, its evil aura sending chills down their spines. Even more shocking was that it actually stood in mid-air. This clearly indicated that this evil aura, or rather the being within it, was undoubtedly another Dou Zong powerhouse.
Judging from the way it was addressed by Yun Shan, the two were clearly connected beforehand, and even more so, there was a subtle connection between them, with this mysterious, clamoring monster being the master.
"Is there no other way but to surrender?"
