Chapter 569 Goodbye Yun Yun
Xiao Yan led his men all the way to Shimo City. Looking down at the earth from a high altitude, he suddenly felt a burst of fighting spirit below.
A middle-aged man was protecting a little girl, being chased by two first-level monsters living in the desert.
The middle-aged man looked particularly familiar, it was Payne!
Xiao Yan's face changed, and he rushed down.
He used the heart fire evoked by the Fallen Heart Flame to burn the two monsters chasing Payne into ashes.
Payne saw the monsters being killed, and immediately bowed and thanked the strong man who spoke out for help:
"Thank you for saving my life..."
He didn't say the word "Zhi En". He looked at Xiao Yan's face and said excitedly: "Master Xiao Yan? Master, is it really you?"
"Cousin Xiao Yan?" The little girl protected by Payne looked at Xiao Yan blankly, rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand smeared with pepper water, pouted her mouth, and cried out with a wow.
"Wuwuwu... Cousin Xiao Yan, the family is gone, dead, all dead... Everyone is dead... The clan leader uncle is also..."
Xiao Yan recognized the sobbing little girl, it was Xiao Qing.
He suppressed the sadness in his heart, touched Xiao Qing's head and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, cousin is still here, Xiao Qing, don't cry..."
Then, he looked at Payne with a heavy face and asked: "What happened at the beginning?"
Payne said with hatred: "It was the two bastards, Jialebi and Obapa, who were dissatisfied with the expansion of the Xiao family's power in Wutan City. Under the instigation of others, they led people to attack the family.
"I found out that the person who united the two families was the master of the alchemist Liu Xi, a third-grade alchemist.
"But there seems to be someone behind that third-grade alchemist. Xiao Qing said she saw someone from Yunlan Sect."
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Qing, who nodded: "Yes, it was the person who wore the same clothes as that bad woman. I saw it with my own eyes."
With Xiao Qing as a person who experienced it personally, no matter how much Xiao Yan didn't want to believe it, he had to believe that this matter was related to Yunlan Sect.
It was just that Yunshan's attitude at the time made him a little puzzled. If he wanted to know what was going on, he had to confront Yunshan.
"What's going on? Master Xiao Yan?" asked Ban Lao with a flickering look.
Xiao Yan said vaguely: "Something went wrong. When I was away, my family was attacked. It might be the people from Yunlan Sect who did it."
"What?" This news caused concern among the people in the Black Horn Region. The situation seemed different from what they expected.
"Don't worry, Yunlan Sect is not a monolithic group. Some people in it have their own ideas. It may be that my Xiao family affected the cake of some of them." Xiao Yan comforted.
"If this is Yunshan's instruction..." Fan Lao was a little hesitant.
Xiao Yan glanced at him: "If Yunshan's instruction, then this time, I am afraid it will be a life-and-death duel between me and him... If Sect Master Fan wants to leave now, I will have no objection."
The eyes of the two elders Jin and Yin flickered. After thinking for a moment, they said:
"We believe that since Xiao Yan dared to say such a thing, he must have a certain confidence, but the degree of danger is not the same as what we said before. After all, being an enemy of a Dou Zong is not a joke... This reward..."
Xiao Yan said very straightforwardly: "If this happens, the reward will be doubled."
"Okay, it's a deal!" The two elders Jin and Yin nodded.
Since they were here, the others didn't want to make a wasted trip. With the two elders Jin and Yin as an example, they all agreed.
Xiao Yan said in a slightly cold tone: "I will never break my promise of reward, but if someone flees in battle, don't blame me for being merciless afterwards."
"Don't worry, if such a person appears, we will not let him go." The two elders, Jin and Yin, patted their chests and promised.
The team that almost fell apart stabilized again.
After placing Payne and Xiao Qing in a nearby city and letting Su Mei and Tie Wu each keep a Dou Ling subordinate as a guard, they continued on their way.
When they arrived at Shimo City, they lined up in a row and floated in the air, releasing the aura of Dou Huang without concealment.
The strong men of the Jia Ma Empire gathered in the city have not dispersed yet. They are discussing whether to counterattack the Chuyun Empire as revenge.
Feeling the aura in the air outside the city, their faces changed.
Jia Xingtian, Yun Yun and others soared into the sky, looking at the eight figures emitting a majestic aura with solemn eyes.
Jia Xingtian's eyes stayed on the two elders, Jin and Yin. He could feel that the strength of either of them was not inferior to his own, and the two of them were in perfect harmony, as if they were one person. They might have practiced some joint attack techniques. If they attacked together, the power they exerted would be even more terrifying.
"Master Yunshan, Xiao Yan is here to keep an appointment. Please come out and see him." Xiao Yan spoke loudly. Under the spread of Dou Qi, his voice spread in all directions and reached the ears of everyone in Shimo City.
Xiao Yan... Jia Xingtian was slightly surprised and cast his eyes on the Dou Huang in the middle. That handsome face was much more mature than two years ago, with a little more determination, but the temperament had changed, and the face had not changed much. It was just that because his hairstyle had changed to a short flat head, he did not recognize him at the first time this time.
Two years... From a great Dou Shi to a Dou Huang?
Those who witnessed the battle of Yunlan Sect at the beginning and knew Xiao Yan a little bit could not help but take a breath of cold air. What kind of practice speed is this?
Yun Yun looked at that familiar face with eyes full of admiration. She wanted to fly over and throw herself into the man's arms immediately. However, in public, as the current head of the Yunlan Sect, she needed to remain reserved, so she made no move.
Xiao Yan noticed Yun Yun's gaze. Although he missed her very much, what he wanted to find out from Yun Shan most now was about the Soul Palace and the Xiao family. He wanted to question whether he had taken action against the Xiao family, so he didn't dare. He looked at her for too long and shifted his gaze.
He scanned the crowds flying out of Stone Desert City and saw no sign of Yunshan:
"Where is Sect Leader Yunshan? Isn't he here?"
Yun Yun glanced at Yun Lan Sect's newly-rising Dou Huang warriors Yun Du and Yun Cha, and asked, "Where's the teacher?"
"The old sect leader already knew that Mr. Xiao Yan would come, so he started this decisive battle. He said that he would wait for Mr. Xiao Yan in the holy city of the snake people." Governor Yun replied.
There was a hint of astonishment on Yun Yun's face: "You all know that he is coming? Is this why the teacher pushed for a decisive battle with the Izumo Empire?"
"Yes." Yun Cha nodded, "The old sect master is worried about affecting your mentality and causing accidents on the battlefield, so he asked us not to disclose it to you."
Yun Yun accepted this explanation, and she also knew that once she learned that Xiao Yan was coming, she would have some ups and downs in her mood.
"The Holy City of the Snake Tribe..." Xiao Yan's eyes showed a trace of nostalgia. This was the place where he and Cai Lin met for the first time.
He said: "Yun Yun, can we talk alone?"
"Okay." Yun Yun nodded.
The two of them landed on the ground, and Yun Yun took him to his residence.
Jia Xingtian glanced at the people in the Black Corner Territory, cupped his hands and said, "These friends are all friends of Xiao Yan, right? That one is Yun Yun, the leader of the Yunlan Sect. You should also know the relationship between them. Some."
As he spoke, he showed a tacit smile: "Don't worry about Xiao Yan's safety... Young people have reunited after a long absence. I think they have a lot to say. It's not a big deal for us to just wait here. Why don't we come down and have a glass of water and eat." Some pastries, let me express my friendship as a landlord."
The two old men of gold and silver nodded and headed to the city lord's mansion together.
In Yun Yun's room, Xiao Yan smelled the faint fragrance in the room and felt a little distracted.
The two looked at each other for a long time, neither of them spoke.
Finally, Xiao Yan broke the silence: "How have you been these two years?"
Yun Yun smiled and replied: "I can't do anything wrong, but you must have suffered a lot out there alone, right?"
Enduring hardship? Xiao Yan thought about it and realized that when he endured hardship, it was only the pain he suffered while refining the strange fire...
As for the boring and boring practice, it may be a painful thing for others, but for him, it doesn't matter at all.
With Qing Meng's assistance, his cultivation speed is much faster than others, and he can vaguely feel that his strength is improving bit by bit. The pleasure of this improvement in strength is far better than the boredom of cultivation.
With the positive sensory feedback, he just felt like playing games to increase his experience level, and he wished he could practice 24 hours a day.
"It's okay." Xiao Yan felt the soft touch on his face and reached out to grab Yun Yun's hand.
He suppressed the rising desire in his heart, straightened his face, and asked, "Yun Yun, I want to ask you something. This is very important. I hope you can answer me truthfully."
Seeing his serious look, Yun Yun's face became solemn: "You say it."
"Your teacher, did Yunshan collude with the Soul Palace?" Xiao Yan asked.
"Soul Palace?" Yun Yun frowned slightly and shook her head: "Is it the name of a certain force? I have never heard of it, but in the past two years, I have felt an evil and cold aura from some disciples. Their strength is also improving at an abnormal speed. I asked the teacher, but he never answered me..."
Xiao Yan nodded, having the answer in his heart.
Seeing his appearance, Yun Yun couldn't help but ask: "What happened to this Soul Palace?"
She could tell from Xiao Yan's words and tone that the Soul Palace was probably not a good thing.
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, but answered truthfully: "You should know that my Xiao family was wiped out. On the surface, it was the Jialie family and the Oba family, but I suspect that the Soul Palace was involved.
"In addition, I met a survivor of the Xiao family, a cousin of mine. She told me that on the day the Xiao family was destroyed, she saw people from your Yunlan Sect mixing with the Jialie family."
"What?" Yun Yun's face turned very ugly and she said subconsciously: "This is impossible. The teacher has no reason to take action against the Xiao family. He...he still wants you to marry me."
Xiao Yan did not refute: "I also feel very strange. When you gave me the body fighting technique of "Three Thousand Thunder Movements", your teacher also asked your junior brother to bring me a gift, a seventh-grade elixir... They also asked my two brothers to go to Canaan College on the grounds of hiring mercenaries to escort them."
"When did I give you "Three Thousand Thunders"?" Yun Yun's beautiful eyes were full of confusion.
"Didn't you give it to me? So this should also be your teacher's handiwork..." Xiao Yan rubbed his forehead, feeling that things were complicated.
"Perhaps some people in the Yunlan Sect are dissatisfied with you and took action without the teacher's permission." Yun Yun seemed to have remembered something and guessed.
"I have also thought about this possibility... You are so beautiful and have a friendly personality, there should be a lot of people pursuing you." Xiao Yan made a joke to ease the increasingly heavy atmosphere.
Yun Yun rolled her eyes at him and smiled: "You're so funny... The people who hate you the most in Yun Lan Sect are not those who have ideas about me, right?"
Xiao Yan also remembered someone, the Yun Lan Sect's Great Elder Yun Leng who was humiliated by him and injured by the Buddha's Wrath Lotus during the three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran.
"You mean Yun Leng? Where is he now?" Xiao Yan asked.
"He... not long after the incident in your Xiao family, he was executed by my teacher for violating the sect's regulations." Yun Yun said with a complicated expression.
In her opinion, Yun Leng did have many incompetent aspects, but as a great elder, he worked hard and made great contributions. Although he made mistakes, his crime was not punishable by death.
But if his death is linked to the extermination of the Xiao family, it can be explained.
"Could it be that the teacher took revenge on the Xiao family because he hated you? The teacher executed him after discovering this?"
Xiao Yan frowned, always feeling that things were not so simple. If there were no factors of the Soul Palace in it, this was indeed possible.
But what about the Soul Palace? If Yun Leng did everything, wouldn't the Soul Palace be removed?
Although there is no direct evidence that the Soul Palace played a role in this matter, he believes that they must have intervened. Yunshan's actions are more like killing people to silence them!
"Teacher, what do you think?" Xiao Yan asked Yao Chen in his heart.
Yao Chen responded: "Both are possible. You can ask Yunshan during the duel, but he may not tell the truth. You have to find evidence in Yunlan Sect. If someone in Yunlan Sect really colluded with the Soul Palace, then Yunshan cannot be separated from it.
"Yun Yun also said just now that Yunshan is covering for those disciples whose strength has improved abnormally... There is reason to believe that he is an insider. "
Xiao Yan looked at Yun Yun: "I will ask your teacher about these things in person. I hope you can investigate those abnormal disciples in the sect... The Soul Palace is a notorious force in Zhongzhou. If you cooperate with them, there will be no good end. "
Yun Yun nodded slightly: "I know, I don't want the teacher to go astray. "
After finishing the business, the two fell silent again, and the atmosphere in the room became subtle.
They looked at each other, saw the strong desire in each other's eyes, and recalled the good times spent in the Warcraft Mountains.
Xiao Yan used his fighting spirit to seal the Bone Flame Ring...
In the Bone Flame Ring, Yao Chen said, "It's good to be young. "
