Chapter 94: When People Are in Trouble, They Must Disperse

  Throughout history, assassinations have always been low-cost and high-value operations.

  So, the profession of assassins is never in short supply, especially in ancient families where they are cultivated with great effort.

  For example, a Dou Sheng can usually only fight evenly with another Dou Sheng of the same level. However, a Dou Sheng who is an assassin can assassinate a Dou Sheng, a Dou Zun, and even a Dou Zong... In short, a top-notch expert who can be an assassin has several times more effect than a strong person of the same level.

  However, cultivating an excellent assassin also requires a lot of effort. Disguise, stealth, pursuit, and strength are all indispensable elements. It's not that one can claim to be an assassin just because they're omnipotent! The former Xiao Xing Meng was also the strongest dark action operative within the Soul Clan, so Soul Chao Ming can be considered his successor. Although the two of them usually appear to be joking around, their talents and knowledge are among the best in the ancient clans.

  Unfortunately, their personalities are also among the worst in the rankings.

  So, in order to correct the weaknesses of Yun Rong's disciples as soon as possible and give them hope of becoming a qualified assassin, these two people fabricated an extremely melodramatic soap opera for them.

  Out of the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Yan's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he directly flew towards the direction where Yun Leng Mountain was located. Although Medicine Master had fallen into a deep sleep due to his massive consumption, with his current strength, he wouldn't be afraid of Yun Yun even in a head-on battle. As for Nalan Yanran, he was confident that he could kill her within a few rounds. Moreover, the lives of those ordinary disciples from Yun Leng Sect were all in his hands, so Yun Yun shouldn't dare to do anything unfavorable to him.

  With a sudden turn of mind, after a moment, he had already arrived at the Yunlan Sect Mountain. At this moment, the Yunlan Sect was no longer half as bustling as it used to be. The grand sect gate was devoid of even half the usual commotion, and the massive middle gate did not see even half a person's shadow. As the autumn wind swept by, the square above was in disarray, appearing especially desolate.

  Perceiving that there was no one else around except for Yun Ruo, Xiao Yan turned to Yun Ruo who was standing elegantly on the mountain cliff. Her black silky hair cascaded down her shoulders like water, and her white dress fluttered in the autumn breeze, exuding an otherworldly serenity. She slowly turned around and said, "Now that the Cloud Shadow Sect has been disbanded, are you satisfied?"

  "If you had seen the scene of my Xiao family being almost killed by Yunlan that day, would you still say so?" Xiaoyan's eyes were cold and detached as he looked at Yunyin, his voice flat.

  Perhaps for him, what the ancient tribe people said was the truth. Or perhaps compared to Yun Lian's Yunyun, Xiao Yan trusted Xun Er of the ancient tribe more.

  Her bright and clear eyes looked at Xiao Yan, softly saying: "You've turned Yunshan Sect into this state, I know it's revenge. Yunshan Sect nearly exterminated the Xiao family, now you've made Yunshan Sect disband, it can be considered a case of retribution. So, I don't hate you, even though Master died at your hands. Therefore, I'll disband Yunshan Sect and soon leave Jia Ma Empire to go out and gain experience."

  "Leave?" Xiao Yan furrowed his brow, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I'm currently lacking strong helpers by my side. If you really don't hate me, then stay and help me."

  Although Xiao Yan's victory over Yunlan Sect earned him the support of the imperial family and the Alchemist Association, as well as the thorough submission of the Mu family, the Nalan family showed a vague attitude, and the strongest of the three major families, the Maiter family, also had a faction led by Ya Fei that was at odds with him. Fortunately, thanks to Yao Lao's reputation, the Flame Alliance still gathered many strong practitioners, but there were still too few people he could trust.

  "My voice is soft and gentle, but my identity and position require me to avenge myself with all my might, so it's better for you to leave."

  Xiao Yan's eyes stared intently at the woman in front of him, his voice low and serious: "Must you leave?"

  Her jade hand slowly stretched out, gently stroking Xiao Yan's face. Yun Yun spoke in a soft voice, "Sometimes I think that if you had been bolder back then in the mountain cave, and ignored my threats, perhaps now..." Her eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, Yun Yun suddenly laughed lightly.

  A glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. Xiao Yan's arm suddenly stretched out, embracing the slender waist, tightly wrapping it into his arms, and said in a low voice: "What are you hinting at?"

  A delicate flush rose to her cheeks, like snow, and a tender emotion welled up in her beautiful eyes. His heart surged with excitement as he grasped her slender white chin and pressed his lips to hers, leaving her stunned and bewildered.

  "Boom!"

  Just as you were tenderly loving each other, a loud noise suddenly rang out, and Xiao Yan's body violently erupted with Dou Qi, blasting Yun Yun away.

  After dispelling the Cloud Rhyme, Xiao Yan was seen pressing down on his pulse with his hand, and a slow trickle of blood flowed out from his mouth.

  "It's poison! You... actually hid the poison in your mouth! Aren't you afraid of poisoning yourself?" Astonishment, anger, and the intense pain of the poison all mixed together on Xiao Yan's face.

  Beautiful flowers are often poisonous, but hetero-fire can restrain poison. As long as the hetero-fire is activated, Xiao Yan can slowly remove the poison.

  "Cough!" Yun Yun spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and bitterly smiled: "Thanks to their words, I've finally made up my mind. To avenge myself, I must kill you! But I find it hard to bear the thought of killing you. However, if we can die together, then I have no regrets."

  With a wave of her hand, a white long sword appeared in Yun Feng's hand. She didn't care about her own condition and suddenly attacked Xiao Yan while saying "If you hadn't kissed me, I might have left just like that, but now..."

  "Damn it, you're crazy!" Facing the sword lights filling the sky, Xiao Yan could only draw out the heavy Xuan Yin ruler to barely defend himself. Launching such an attack while poisoned was undoubtedly suicidal behavior, and a thread of fear rose up from the bottom of Xiao Yan's heart.

  However, with Xiang Ye's protection, even if he couldn't immediately remove the poison, he could still resist it to some extent. Yun Yun, who was at the peak of Dou Huang, had a deeper cultivation and could probably hold on for about the same amount of time as Xiang Ye.

  "To resolve the matter between us, I can only take action under such circumstances." Yun Yun said with a melancholic smile. "Moreover, even if I die, Yan Er will still gain their appreciation. Now you guess, where did Yan Er go?"

  Xiao Yan was shocked! Nalan Yanran's ultimate goal was undoubtedly his elder brother - Xiao Ding!
