Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 147 Return to Yunlan
After hearing Yun Leng's words, Yun Du and the other man looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and nodded heavily.

"In that case, we will follow the Great Elder's instructions and put this matter aside for now, waiting for the return of the Frost Soul Envoy."

The two of them had long since become Yun Ling's confidants, and had received countless benefits overtly and covertly. It could be said that it was precisely with their support that Yun Ling was able to become increasingly arrogant in the Yunlan Sect, and even the Sect Master Yun Yun only gave him some superficial respect.

Since they were all in the same boat, Yun Du and the other two naturally trusted Yun Leng's words and were not in a hurry.

So, after reporting their cultivation status, Yun Du and the other two did not stay any longer. They quickly kowtowed to Yun Shan, hid their figures from the hall and quickly left the back mountain.

As the place where the old sect leader practices in seclusion, it is obviously not possible for too many elders to stay here for a long time. If they were to discover something and cause Yun Yun to become suspicious again, the consequences would obviously not be something they could afford.

After all, even though Yun Yun was relatively weak, she at least possessed the cultivation level of Douhuang. Yun Leng could rely on the title of the old sect leader and the status of the great elder to be fearless, but the other two did not have that courage at all.

"Old Sect Master, that woman received your soul message but still chose not to return to our Yunlan Sect. Could it be that she knew she couldn't complete the mission and became afraid and chose to escape?"

There were only two of them left in the hall, and Yun Leng's expression changed from his previous certainty to a hint of doubt, and he couldn't help but ask.

Slowly opening his eyes, Yunshan drummed his fingers on the chair and said calmly, "You are so impatient. This sect has warned you more than once. With this attitude, even if you really take her soul and collection, it will be impossible for you to ascend to the Douhuang realm."

"Haha, old sect leader, I..." Upon hearing this, Yun Leng's old face suddenly froze, and then he chuckled a few times and tried to explain something with a stiff upper lip.

"No need to say more."

Raising his hand to interrupt Yun Leng, Yun Shan casually said, "With the Soul Seal, she should be very clear about what running away means. If she really fails to complete the mission, our sect will naturally take action."

Yun Leng was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to realize something belatedly, and suddenly his face showed ecstasy.

"Yes, old master!"

When joining the Soul Palace, all members will be engraved with a soul mark to ensure their absolute loyalty to the Soul Palace. Although they may seem harmless on a normal day, once activated, the betrayer will immediately suffer the pain of being devoured by thousands of insects. Within a few breaths, their souls will be destroyed and turned into an empty shell.

As a guardian of a higher level than the Soul Envoy, Yunshan obviously possesses the ability to control the soul seals of Soul Envoy-level members. Even if he is thousands of miles away, it is easy for him to take the life of the Frost Soul Envoy!

Looking at Yun Leng's restless look, Yunshan's eyes flashed with gloom and he couldn't help shaking his head.

As a close confidant whom he personally promoted, he was quite satisfied with Yun Leng's loyalty. However, his impetuous and dull nature became the biggest obstacle to his cultivation. Even with the accumulation of many resources, he could only barely reach the level of an eight-star Dou Wang.

In addition, as he is getting older, he has no hope of becoming a Douhuang in this lifetime.

A thought flashed through his mind, Yunshan frowned slightly, waved his hand, and said: "Alright, our sect still needs to retreat, you can leave first."

"Also, remember not to let Yun'er see any clues. The reputation of our Yunlan Sect depends on her."

Seeing this, Yun Leng hurriedly bowed and nodded in agreement.

Two days later.

After receiving Yunshan's instructions, Yunling, even though he was impatient, did not forget his duties and began to get busy.

The reason for this is that there is only one year left in the bet between the Young Sect Leader and the Young Master of the Xiao Family, so many preparations that need to be made in advance naturally have to be put on the agenda.

As Yunshan's confidant, Yunling knew very well that the other party always attached great importance to matters concerning the reputation of the Yunlan Sect. Not only was he very secretive about the affairs of the Soul Palace, he had even heard about the gambling fights between the younger generations.

As a Dou Zong, Yunshan naturally couldn't pay too much attention to these things, but seemingly casual inquiries could often explain many problems. When it comes to observing people's words and expressions, Yunling is obviously quite good at it.

Therefore, within the three-year agreement, Nalan Yanran must not only achieve victory, but also return with a great victory. Only in this way will the reputation of the Yunlan Sect not be tarnished by this young man who has recently become famous.

Although it had been a long time since the last news of Canaan College's enrollment, and the Yunlan Sect had gradually returned to peace, Yun Leng knew that once news of this kid came again, it would most likely evolve into a wave again, sweeping every corner here.

The roots have been planted.

However, in his opinion, whether it was the Frost Soul Envoy who repeatedly humiliated him, or the Xiao family's young master who made the Yunlan Sect disciples panic, they were ultimately just a flash in the pan. After all, the consequences of arrogance were never good.
"Great Elder, why are you here?" The girl in the moon-white robe who was originally sitting quietly in the small pavilion in the back mountain stood up and asked in surprise after seeing the old and majestic figure.

Yun Leng waved his sleeves and stepped into the small pavilion. After glancing around, he smiled and said, "Haha, Yanran, it's been a while since I last saw you in the training ground. Could it be that you've been spending all these days enjoying the scenery in this pavilion?"

Nalan Yanran was not at all surprised by these words that seemed to be concerned but actually contained a hint of questioning.

She frowned slightly, then said calmly: "Grand Elder, there is no need to worry. Yanran will naturally not fall behind in cultivation."

"This elder is naturally at ease with Yanran's cultivation."

Looking at Nalan Yanran's somewhat cold expression, Yun Ling's eyes slowly narrowed and he said in a deep voice, "It's just that, considering the time for your bet with that kid from the Xiao family, there doesn't seem to be much time left."

"What does the Great Elder mean by this?" Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran was stunned at first, and then almost forced herself to suppress her displeasure.

Nalan Yanran knew in her heart that her teacher Yun Yun and the Great Elder usually did not get along well, and they would even show a tit-for-tat momentum occasionally, so she did not have a good impression of him.

What's more, what she hated most was others comparing her with Xiao Yan. If she didn't respect the other party as an elder of the Yunlan Sect, she would probably turn hostile on the spot.

"Yanran, losing your composure like this when you mention that kid from the Xiao family is not a good sign."

Stroking his beard calmly, Yun Leng said slowly, "The Sect Master must have prepared an extraordinary elixir for you earlier. Your foundation in the Fighting Master realm is already quite solid, so why didn't you choose to take it?"

"Although you have extraordinary talent, don't underestimate Xiao Yan. In my opinion, it's best to take it as soon as possible. With your current cultivation level, it will take at least several months to fully refine the medicinal power of the fifth-grade pill. Delaying it like this is not a good idea."

Nalan Yanran shook her head and said, "Yanran has been practicing with Elder Shuang. The timing of taking this elixir should naturally be decided by her. Yanran has already obtained the teacher's consent on this point."

Ever since Elder Shuang's sudden departure, her cultivation speed has dropped several levels. Even though she is reluctant to admit it, Nalan Yanran has developed a sense of dependence on this girl who seems not much older than her.

What's more, the other party is even better than her teacher Yun Yun in guiding cultivation. How can Yun Leng, a mere Dou Wang, be compared to him?

Hearing the name 'Shuang Elder', Yun Ling's eyes darkened, and he snorted coldly, saying, "Young Sect Master, Shuang Elder is indeed highly skilled, but she is too self-willed and disregards the sect's missions. If you follow her to cultivate, your stubborn nature will probably be even harder to change."

"The three-year agreement concerns the reputation of our Yunlan Sect. Young Sect Master Yanran must carefully consider it."

First, his inexplicable visit, and then his preaching tone, lowered Nalan Yanran's opinion of the Great Elder even further. However, she felt strangely familiar with the term "sect mission" he mentioned.

In her impression, from the first time he contacted her, the mysterious Elder Frost seemed to have mentioned her purpose, which seemed to be to complete the so-called sect mission.

Originally, Nalan Yanran was quite confused about this, but the other party first removed the poison for her grandfather, and then taught her how to practice with all his heart. As a result, she gradually forgot about this matter.

Think now
Something seems wrong.

A trace of doubt quietly arose in Nalan Yanran's heart, and she had completely lost the desire to talk.

She took a deep breath and said, "I want to protect the reputation of the Yunlan Sect more than anyone else. If the Great Elder has nothing else to do, I will excuse myself for now."

Seeing that Nalan Yanran still had no intention of following his advice, a trace of anger flashed across Yun Leng's old face, and he couldn't help but say, "Young Sect Master, as the leader of the younger generation of our Yunlan Sect, your every word and action represents more than just you. If you insist on following that woman's way of doing things your own way, I'm afraid you'll end up like her and suffer the same fate!"

"Oh? Great Elder Yun Ling thinks this is what I should end up like?"

A pleasant and melodious voice came from the end of the sea of ​​clouds, with a hint of mockery in its voice, interrupting Yun Leng's anger.

Hearing this familiar voice, Nalan Yanran's pupils suddenly shrank, and the irritation she had felt from being scolded by Yun Ling many times before instantly disappeared.

She looked towards the sea of ​​clouds and murmured, "Elder Shuang?"

　I'm adjusting my work and rest schedule recently, so I'll try to give you a Saturday, so I'm a little late. Please forgive me.
