Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 176: Another Three-Year Appointment
"Yanran!"

After arriving outside Wutan City, Yun Leng, the chief elder of the Yunlan Sect and the leader of the three, couldn't help but look at Nalan Yanran beside him: "Actually, you don't need to be too nervous about the next three years!"

"Then Xiao Yan was able to defeat you with one move three years ago, which shows that his cultivation talent has not disappeared. The previous news that his cultivation has declined is naturally a rumor!"

"This person's cultivation talent is indeed very strong, perhaps even better than yours! But..."

Yun Lan, the Grand Elder of the Yun Lan Sect, first praised Xiao Yan's talent, then changed the subject and continued, "The path of cultivation cannot rely solely on talent!"

"Without a powerful technique, a teacher's guidance, or medicinal pills to help, what good is it no matter how strong your talent is?"

"Although you were defeated by the opponent three years ago, you have been practicing hard in the past three years, and even had to endure the pain of the strong wind entering your body all the time!"

"With the Earth-level skills of my Yunlan Sect, the careful guidance of the Sect Master, and the help of the elixir of the Pill King Gu He, you have cultivated to the level of a Seven-Star Grand Fighter in just three years. This has never happened in the history of my Yunlan Sect!"

After hearing this, Ge Ye, the nine-star master fighting at the side, was also quite moved.

His talent was considered good, but after three years he only broke through from a seven-star master to a nine-star master.

However, Nalan Yanran went from being a three-star fighter to a fighter master and directly cultivated to a seven-star great fighter, and her combat power was even more terrifying.

Not long ago, Nalan Yanran challenged a one-star Dou Ling sect deacon in the Yunlan Sect and eventually defeated him, not to mention a nine-star Dou Ling master like him.

Even though Xiao Yan’s talent was considered good, there were many talented people in the entire Jia Ma Empire, but how many of them could eventually become Dou Huang powerhouses?

The only thing Ge Ye was worried about was that after Xiao Yan defeated Nalan Yanran, he was locked by the aura of a powerful man.

That terrifying aura definitely did not come from Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family, or the three elders of the Xiao family, so he reported the matter quickly after returning to the sect.

But now that the Great Elder Yun Leng has come with them, he naturally has no worries. Could it be that the Xiao family will have another Dou Huang?
At this moment, after listening to Yun Leng's words, Nalan Yanran's expression did not relax at all. After all, Xiao Yan's defeat of her in one move three years ago did bring her a great shock and shadow.

"Great Elder!"

Nalan Yanran couldn't help but ask, "I heard that Xiao Yan has joined Canaan College, but that's..."

"It doesn't matter!"

Before Nalan Yanran could finish her words, she was interrupted by the great elder Yun Leng: "The Canaan Academy is indeed very powerful, but there are also countless geniuses there!"

"Although Xiao Yan has good talent, he was relatively weak at the beginning, so the resources he could get in Canaan College were naturally not many. How can he be compared with you who has been trained by our entire sect with all his strength?"

"Do not worry!"

Yun Lan Sect's Great Elder Yun Leng said firmly: "In this three-year agreement, Yan Ran, you will definitely be able to defeat Xiao Yan and avenge your previous shame!"

While saying this, Yun Leng was also thinking about how to deal with it if an accident really happened.

Although in his heart, Xiao Yan's strength would definitely not surpass Nalan Yanran at this moment, but as the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect, he had to consider the worst outcome in his heart.

"If Xiao Yan really has extraordinary luck and is even stronger than Yan Ran, then I can only act in secret!"

The great elder Yun Leng thought to himself, "When the time comes, I will secretly force Xiao Yan to admit defeat. I'm sure he won't dare to refuse me!"

Thinking of this, the Great Elder Yun Leng felt that everything was foolproof, and soon he confidently led Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye into Wutan City, and then walked towards the direction of the Xiao family mansion.

……

On the other hand, Xiao Yan had also returned to Wutan City in advance. Traveling with him were Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Yu and other members of the Xiao family who had joined Canaan College.

However, before Xiao Yan arrived at the door of his home, the Xiao family members who had already received the news came to greet him enthusiastically, led by the three elders of the Xiao family.

"Xiao Yan, you are finally back!"

"Hahaha, my Xiao family's Qilin is finally home!"

"Greetings, young master!"

As soon as Xiao Yan showed up, the three elders of the Xiao family and a group of Xiao family members came to greet him enthusiastically.

Although they did not know Xiao Yan's current specific strength, they had already received news from Xiao Yu and other members of the Xiao family.

Just the little bit of Xiao Yan's performance in Canaan College that Xiao Yu and others knew about was enough to make the three elders of the Xiao family pay great attention to Xiao Yan.

In the chat group, everyone felt very bored when they saw the three elders of the Xiao family warmly welcoming Xiao Yan to the Xiao family's living room.

[Pang Bo: It's so boring! There's not even a hint of the pretentiousness and slapping in the face that I want to see! ]

[Han Li: In fact, the three elders of Xiao Yan's family are quite sensible! ]

[Ye Chen: That’s right! Now Xiao Yan can suppress them all with one hand, how could they not know what’s good for them? ]

[Yue Buqun: Actually, this is also quite good. With the whole family working together and Xiao Yan's help, I think it won't take long for them to rise! ]

[Cao Cao: Mr. Yue is right! The current state of the Xiao family is indeed very good. Under Xiao Yan's leadership, they will naturally continue to become stronger! ]

[Pangbo: It’s good, but it’s meaningless! ]

While everyone was chatting in the chat group, Xiao Yan quickly started communicating with his father Xiao Zhan.

But just when Xiao Yan was about to talk about moving the Xiao family to the Black Horn Region for development...

"Chief, Junior Chief!"

A member of the Xiao family quickly rushed into the living room anxiously: "Not good!"

Seeing this, the elder of the Xiao family on the side immediately scolded: "This is simply nonsense. How can you rush into the meeting room in such a panic?"

"All right!"

Xiao Zhan, who was sitting in the main seat, waved his hand to signal the elder to be quiet, and then looked at the Xiao family members who rushed into the living room: "Xiao Wei, what happened?"

"Clan leader, the Yunlan Sect has sent someone here!"

Xiao Wei hurriedly said respectfully: "Not only is there Nalan Yanran who came to our Xiao family to break off the engagement three years ago, but the leader is also a Dou Wang strongman who claims to be Yun Leng, the great elder of the Yun Lan Sect!"

Having said that, Xiao Wei couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Xiao Yan who was standing beside him.

Three years ago, when Nalan Yanran came to cancel the engagement, he witnessed with his own eyes the scene where she was defeated by the young clan leader Xiao Yan in one move, so he immediately recognized Nalan Yanran's identity.

"This……"

After hearing what Xiao Wei said, Xiao Yan couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhan who was sitting in the main seat: "Father, what's going on?"

Xiao Yan naturally didn't care about the so-called Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect.

The reason why he looked at Xiao Zhan was because he had already handed over the matter of breaking off the engagement to Xiao Zhan three years ago.

Xiao Zhan even went to the Nalan family in person, and finally discussed the matter with Nalan Yanran's father and grandfather.

The engagement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran was annulled, and they had no further contact from then on.

Although Xiao Yan had already left the Xiao family when things were settled, Xiao Zhan had already asked someone to bring a letter to him.

But now...

At this time, Xiao Zhan, who was sitting in the main seat, was also a little confused, because he didn't know what had happened, and why Nalan Yanran followed the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect to the Xiao family.

"Could it be because of the three-year agreement?" A thought quickly flashed through Xiao Zhan's mind.

However, now is not the time to think about these things. The Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect came to the Xiao family in person. As the patriarch, he naturally had to greet him in person.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan immediately stood up and said, "Three elders, follow me to welcome Elder Yun Leng and see what his intention is in coming to my Xiao family."

Just as everyone from the Xiao family walked out of the living room to welcome the people from the Yunlan Sect, the chat group was already in an uproar!

[Pang Bo: Hahaha! I didn’t expect that we would be so lucky to actually run into Nalan Yanran coming to fulfill her three-year appointment! ]

[Pang Bo: @Xiao Yan, your maid is here, do you want to accept her? ]

[Xiao Yan: Brother Pang, stop joking with me! ]

[Pang Bo: I am not kidding! Maybe this time Nalan Yanran knew that you had broken through to become a Dou Zong, so she came to you to make trouble, hoping to become your slave! ]

[Han Li: Although Brother Pang has always been unreliable, I think this is still very reasonable! ]

[Ye Chen: @Pangbo, Brother Pang, what’s going on? ]

[Pang Bo: @Ye Chen, when Nalan Yanran came to the Xiao family to break off the engagement, you hadn’t joined the group yet, so naturally you didn’t know about this matter! ]

[Pang Bo: You must have finished reading "Battle Through the Heavens"! Not long after Xiao Yan joined the group, he encountered Nalan Yanran coming to cancel the engagement. Fortunately, Xiao Yan's teacher Yao Chen had awakened with the help of the group leader! ] [Pang Bo: Later, Xiao Yan relied on the power of his teacher to defeat Nalan Yanran in one move. Nalan Yanran refused to admit defeat, so she made a new three-year agreement with Xiao Yan! ]

[Ye Chen: Can it be like this? ]

[Pang Bo: Of course! Nalan Yanran said that if she was defeated by Xiao Yan again in three years, she would have no regrets even if Xiao Yan made her a slave or even married her! ]

The world of Fights Break Sphere.

Xiao Yan was following Xiao Zhan to welcome the people from Yunlan Sect. After hearing what Pang Bo said in the group, he could no longer hold back.

[Xiao Yan: @Pang Bo, Brother Pang, this is absolutely a complete slander. At that time, Nalan Yanran clearly said to take her life, why did you change it now? ]

[Pang Bo: Impossible! At that time, Nalan Yanran definitely said that she would marry her! @Han Li, don’t you agree?]

[Han Li: That’s right! I heard it too. Nalan Yanran was talking about marrying her!]

Looking at the banter between Pang Bo and Han Li in the chat group, Xiao Yan felt quite helpless. He simply stopped paying attention and focused on things in reality.

Xiao Yan followed Xiao Zhan and the others and walked quickly, and soon arrived at the wide courtyard.

At this time, the Yunlan Sect and its members also followed the Xiao family members into the yard.

"Greetings, Great Elder Yun Ling!"

The leader, Xiao Zhan, quickly came forward and asked with a smile, "I wonder what the great elder has brought to my Xiao family for?"

"Ok!"

Facing Xiao Zhan's enthusiastic greeting, Yun Lan Sect's Great Elder Yun Leng just nodded slightly, then looked at Nalan Yanran beside him: "Yanran, you should talk about this matter!"

"Yes, Great Elder!"

Nalan Yanran first bowed respectfully to Yun Leng, then looked at Xiao Zhan and bowed slightly, saying, "Uncle Xiao, the Great Elder brought Yanran to the Xiao family this time to fulfill the appointment made three years ago!"

"This……"

Xiao Zhan thought to himself, "As expected," and then he said solemnly, "Niece Nalan, I have already gone to the Nalan family to discuss the matter between our two families with your father Nalan Su and your grandfather!"

"Did they not inform you of the results of our deliberations?"

After hearing this, a trace of shame flashed across Nalan Yanran's face.

Xiao Zhan handled the matter of breaking off the engagement very beautifully.

Even if she had not come to the Xiao family to break off the engagement three years ago, causing a lot of uproar, probably not many people would have known about her engagement with Xiao Yan.

But even so, Xiao Zhan gave enough face to the Nalan family when dealing with this matter.

Compared with Xiao Zhan's way of handling things, it was naturally very inappropriate for her to take the initiative to come to him and break off the engagement in public.

After many thoughts flashed through her mind, Nalan Yanran quickly spoke: "Father and grandfather have already sent someone to inform Yanran of the results of the discussion with Uncle Xiao. Uncle Xiao, Yanran is very grateful for your help to Yanran!"

After bowing respectfully to Xiao Zhan again, Nalan Yanran changed the subject and continued, "Yanran came here this time mainly to spar with Brother Xiao Yanshi again, nothing else, please allow me, Uncle Xiao!"

"This……"

After hearing what Nalan Yanran said, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

I have to say that after three years of growth, Nalan Yanran has indeed become much more mature in handling things, and her words are also quite beautiful.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but look at Yun Leng, the great elder of the Yunlan Sect who was standing next to Nalan Yanran.

In fact, Xiao Zhan didn’t care too much about the battle between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, because the result would definitely be the same as last time.

Although he didn't know Xiao Yan's current specific strength, just from the news that Xiao Yu brought back, Xiao Yan had already entered the Dou Ling realm a long time ago.

In his eyes, even if Nalan Yanran had amazing talent and had the help of the Yunlan Sect, it would be impossible for her to defeat Xiao Yan.

The only thing he was worried about was that Yun Lan Sect's Great Elder Yun Leng would intervene in the battle!

After all, Yun Leng is a genuine Dou Wang powerhouse, and he is extremely powerful among the Dou Wang powerhouses. Once he really intervenes in the battle, Xiao Yan will definitely be forced by him!
As a father, how could he see his son being treated unfairly?
"Chief Xiao!"

Seeing that Xiao Zhan did not agree immediately, Yun Leng, the great elder of the Yun Lan Sect, quickly said, "It's just a competition between two people of the same age. Does Patriarch Xiao want to refuse?"

"Don't worry, this time Yanran and Xiao Yan will definitely stop sparring to a certain extent! With me here, there won't be any accidents!"

[Pang Bo: This Yun Leng is quite pretentious! I hope he won’t be shocked when he sees Xiao Yan has entered the Dou Zong realm! ]

[Pang Bo: @Xiao Yan, Brother Xiao Yan, give them a little shock, I can't wait! ]

【Han Li: I want to see it too! 】

[Ye Chen: I want to see it too! ]

【Meng Huan: +1! 】

Looking at the teasing of everyone in the group, Xiao Yan felt a little interested.

"Isn't it just a sparring match? I agree!"

Xiao Yan took two steps forward and glanced at Nalan Yanran: "It's just that you were not my opponent three years ago. Do you think you can defeat me now?"

"I have no idea!"

Nalan Yanran slowly shook her head, then said solemnly: "But I will definitely try my best to defeat you!"

After hearing what Nalan Yanran said, Xiao Yan began to pay more attention to her.

"That's fine!"

Xiao Yan walked a few steps to the wide area next to him, and then said: "Today, you and I will have a sparring match, and from now on, we will have nothing to do with each other!"

For Xiao Yan now, let alone Nalan Yanran and Yun Leng standing in front of him, even the Yunlan Sect and Yunshan behind them are no longer taken seriously by him.

Xiao Yan's current goal is to conquer the other strange fires on the Douqi Continent, the eight ancient clans, the Dou Emperor, and become someone stronger than the Dou Emperor...

Among all the people in Yunlan Sect, the only one he cares about is probably Yun Yun!

After hearing that Xiao Yan agreed to compete with her, a hint of joy flashed across Nalan Yanran's heart.

"I will definitely avenge my previous shame this time!"

After such a thought flashed through her mind, Nalan Yanran walked to the opposite side of Xiao Yan, took a deep breath, and then a light green fighting spirit instantly emerged from her body.

I saw the long sword in her hand vibrating, and then a crisp sword sound was heard.

At the same time, the light green fighting spirit around Nalan Yanran's body also suddenly surged. In just a moment, it gathered around her body and formed a light green fighting spirit armor, covering her delicate body.

At the tip of the long sword in her hand, the green sword energy gathered together and pointed at Xiao Yan in the distance. In an instant, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere.

"Seven-Star Grand Master, please give me some advice!" Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan and spoke word by word, as if she wanted to use her voice to make Xiao Yan surrender.

But at this moment, Xiao Yan said calmly again: "You make the first move! If I make the first move, I'm afraid you won't even have the courage to make the first move!"

"you……"

After hearing what Xiao Yan said, a hint of anger appeared on Nalan Yanran's pretty face.

This is what she said to Xiao Yan three years ago. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan not only repeated her words but also went even further.

But who made her lose three years ago?
Thinking of this, Nalan Yanran's mind moved, and the powerful fighting spirit rushed through her meridians like a river.

She just raised her beautiful eyes slightly, then tapped the ground with her toes, and her body instantly turned into a beam of light.

Then she swung the sword in her hand, like a poisonous snake coming out of a cave, with a sharp sword energy, stabbing towards Xiao Yan's chest at an extremely tricky and cruel angle.

But at this moment...

Rumble!
A powerful and extremely strong fighting spirit gushed out from Xiao Yan's body, as if it had condensed into a solid entity, and then formed a solid wall of fighting spirit in front of Xiao Yan.

boom!
Nalan Yanran stabbed the wall of fighting spirit with the sword in her hand, and the whole person flew backwards instantly.

At this time, Xiao Yan also spoke word by word: "Three Star Dou Zong, please give me some advice!"
