Chapter 93: The Shadow Moves Again

  What happened on Yunlan Sect spread like wildfire throughout the corners of the Gama Empire in just a few days, and for a time, the entire empire was stirred up. The power and terror of Yunlan Sect in the Gama Empire were well-known to all, but now, the news that Yunlan Sect had been severely damaged was spreading, which was undoubtedly an earth-shattering event for the people of the Gama Empire.

  As the protagonist of the event, Xiao Yan was also thoroughly known to everyone in the Ga Ma Empire. Shortly after the news that Xiao Yan had attacked Yunlan Sect spread, another shocking piece of news emerged: Yunlan Sect announced its disbandment. Before people could recover from their shock, disciples of Yunlan Sect began to leave the sect and go down the mountain, eventually hiding their identities and becoming ordinary members of the empire.

  Within a short period of half a month, nearly eight or nine out of ten disciples of Yunlan Sect had left. Yunlan Mountain also began to become empty and deserted from its previous grandeur. This mountain peak, which was once considered a sacred place for cultivation in the eyes of the people of the Gama Empire, would later become an ordinary mountain range. Perhaps with the passage of time, even the name "Yunlan Sect" would be gradually forgotten in the long river of years.

  Or perhaps... it can once again stand on the Dou Qi continent with a power more terrifying than before.

  "Haha, you little kid finally came out, how are you? Is your injury healed?" The quiet hall was suddenly broken by a burst of laughter, as Xiao Ding slowly walked into Xiao Yan's room.

  Hearing the laughter, Xiao Yan also slowly opened his eyes. In his dark pupils, a faint flame flickered, and his pale face showed a hint of a smile, but he shook his head and said: "This time I was injured too severely, it's not that easy to recover."

  After a moment of contemplation, he asked again: "What about Yunlan Sect?"

  "They did show some sense and have already dispersed more than half of them, probably also afraid of you, Third Brother. What's important is that they understood that behind Yunlan Sect there is still a Soul Temple. As for Yunlan Sect, several big shots and many disciples were killed, it can be considered as done." Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said in a chilly tone.

  Xiao Yan was silent, he had originally planned to thoroughly avenge the blood feud by massacring the Yunlan Sect. Unfortunately, the Soul Temple was too terrifying, even the Dou Zun strongmen were sent out, and even in his heyday, he couldn't muster up the courage to resist, if it wasn't for the ancient tribe member sent by Xun Er that day, perhaps he wouldn't have been able to return alive.

  Xiao Ding glanced at Xiao Yan, seemingly understanding what he was thinking. He smiled and said slowly: "Third brother, you haven't done anything wrong. Because of you, the Xiao family doesn't have to struggle to survive in a state of desperation. You are now the pillar in the hearts of all the Xiao family members. Regardless of whether you're right or wrong, the Xiao family will wholeheartedly support you."

  Listening to Big Brother's words, Xiao Yan's heart felt a warmth flowing through it, and also reminded him of his second brother who was killed by the Soul Palace, a chill ran through his inner heart.

  Xiao Yan nodded silently, his fists slowly clenched, and he said in a low voice: "Now that I have some clues about Father's whereabouts, but wanting to rescue him now, my current strength is far from enough."

  "We believe in you." Xiao Ding smiled and said. Over the years, Xiao Yan had given them quite a few miracles.

  On Yunlai Mountain, the summit that was once bustling with people now only has a few dozen people left, making it look even more desolate compared to its former prosperity.

  In a room, Xiao Xing Meng was imparting knowledge to his fourth disciple, Hun Chao Ming, and decided to let Hun Chao Ming take Yun Yun and Na Lan Yan Ran to gain experience and level up.

  Why is it Soul of Dawn?

  Firstly: Due to his special physical condition, this guy is the most skilled in using swords among his own disciples, and he suits Yunyun perfectly.

  Second: Convenient, this guy is not only the closest but also the most idle. The disappearance of that group of mysterious people means that this killer has no place to use his skills for the time being. The strife of the ancient seven clans? Very peaceful, recently Xiao Yan's small movements are even bigger than those of the ancient seven clans.

  This guy is ruthless!

  "Lastly, these two girls are a bit... I don't know if it's because Yun Shan spoiled Yun Yun too much in the past, resulting in this situation. Even after going through all that, Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran still seem to have some lingering feelings for Xiao Yan. This really makes me want to teach them a lesson like I did with Little Medical Fairy back then... Look at how arrogant Xian'er is now... Alright, teaching these two will be your responsibility from now on."

  "Master, in my opinion, their illness is very difficult to cure!" As soon as Huan Chao Ming heard this request, he immediately looked worried and distressed.

  "Just take it as a chance to discipline them. As the saying goes: 'Mercy cannot control the army.' Let alone whether they can put their hands on Xiao Yan in the future, even if Yun Yun takes over Yunshan Sect again, I'm afraid it will be another doomed outcome." Xiao Xing Meng also thought this matter was a bit difficult, but after all, having experienced such things, they wouldn't die without regret, right?

  Vaguely remembered that the original work's Yun Yun was because of her poor management of her subordinates, which led to Xiao Yan causing trouble at Yunlan Sect. As a result, she couldn't handle it properly and whenever she saw Xiao Yan, her IQ would drop sharply. She couldn't severely punish her erring subordinates, but instead showed mercy to the enemies who came to destroy their signboard, resulting in the situation getting more and more out of hand.

  "It's okay, these two qualifications are still pretty good. According to the Soul Clan's killer mode training, their mental quality should not be a problem." Soulang Ming said after a moment of contemplation.

  "In that case, let's start their trial by fire. Xiao Xing Meng said: 'Soul Clan Assassin Mandatory Course'."

  "You're really bad, teacher."

  "You're still no match for me, Xiao Si."

  "Ah, I see what you mean. The 'Xiao Men' has fresh blood from the Canaan Academy, and its potential is not to be underestimated in the future. Although the Black Corner Domain is chaotic, there are indeed great benefits to be gained. If we can expand the 'Xiao Men' and successfully occupy a certain position in the Black Corner Domain, it will likely become a formidable force. And when the Gamara Empire's power grows in the future, if we join forces, we will surely be able to rival the top powers on the Dou Qi Continent." Xiao Ding said thoughtfully.

  "It seems that Xiao Yan is quite popular in both the Canaan Academy and the Black Corner Domain." Yafei's stunning face smiled lightly, but her words carried a hint of showcasing her own strength. It seemed that Xiao Yan was not entirely satisfied with Yafei's actions during the battle at Yunlan Sect.

  "Heh heh, I wonder where Ye Kuan went. With his abilities, I also hope he can join our Flame Alliance." Xiao Yan said with a slight smile.

  "He went out to try and left, Xiao Yan's little brother is really too polite, how can this kind of rustic person join Xiao Yan's alliance?" Yafei said with a light pout. Xiao Yan said "we" directly, it seems he firmly wants the Maiter family to join the "Yan Alliance".

  "It doesn't matter, this 'Inferno Alliance' recruits talent without restriction." Xiao Yan was looking forward to relying on his current strength to defeat Ye Kan and avenge his previous defeat.

  At this moment, a maid suddenly rushed in and bowed at the door: "Young Master Xiao Yan, Miss Nalan is at the gate saying she has something to see you about."

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was taken aback. Miss Nalan was naturally Nalan Yanran, but what did she want with him?

  "Please come in." A hint of puzzlement flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes as he spoke softly.

  The three of them waited quietly in the living room for a moment, and then the maid from before came slowly, with a beautiful figure vaguely visible behind her.

  Two figures stopped at the door, and the maid retreated with a bow. Meanwhile, Nalan Yanran, dressed in a cloud-colored skirt, walked slowly into the room, her eyes scanning the faces of the three people in the living room before settling on Xiao Yan, who was standing in the center, with a complex expression.

  "Nalan Yanran? I haven't even met this person who almost became my sister-in-law...” Xiao Ding suddenly said in a lukewarm tone, it seemed that he still had some resentment towards Nalan Yanran for forcing her way out of the engagement with his family.

  "Miss Nalan has come to my Xiao Mansion, is there something on her mind?" Putting down the teacup in his hand, Xiao Yan's eyes drooped slightly as he spoke softly. He sized up Nalan Yanran from head to toe, and found that she had also reached the peak of Dou Wang. However, Xiao Yan was confident that he could defeat even the strongest Dou Zong, so a mere Dou Wang peak was nothing to him, and he was sure he could take her down in just a few rounds.

  As for Xiao Yan's cold and indifferent expression, Nalan Yanran bit her red lips with her teeth and opened her mouth after a moment: "The teacher wants to see you one last time."

  "Last face?" His eyes suddenly turned cold, Xiao Yan's fist slowly clenched, his voice gradually becoming icy: "What does she want to do? Even if the Yunlan Sect disciples have already disbanded, I can still find them!"

  Nalan Yanran's delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she said: "If you're willing to meet, go to the mountain top. If not, it doesn't matter, but there won't be another chance in the future." After speaking, she didn't wait for Xiao Yan's response and turned around, heading towards the outside of the manor.

  Xiao Yan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and after a moment, he stood up and quickly walked out. The words Nalan Yanran brought made his face slightly gloomy. What was Yun Ruo thinking of doing again?
