The ruthless woman remained silent, but her eyes revealed a resolute determination.
Meanwhile, Yun Yun was being treated by Little Fairy Doctor.
She slowly woke up, her head still a little dizzy. She opened her eyes and was met with an unfamiliar silence.
She struggled to her feet, looked around, and a sense of foreboding washed over her.
Memories flooded back like a tide; the brutal battle before she lost consciousness seemed to be right before her eyes. She remembered the Yunlan Sect facing an unprecedented crisis, but now…
Yun Yun walked with somewhat unsteady steps within the Yunlan Sect.
The once bustling square, teeming with disciples, is now deserted, save for the cold stone slabs and the occasional breeze.
Her eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief. How could the Yunlan Sect, which she had devoted all her efforts to protecting, a place full of life and vitality, have become like this?
She continued walking forward, passing familiar houses, but the laughter and joy of the past were gone, the disciples who were diligently cultivating were gone, and the strict yet loving elders were gone.
Everywhere was eerily quiet, as if time had stood still.
Yunyun's steps slowed down, and her eyes gradually lost their luster.
Despair, like an invisible hand, gripped her heart tightly.
She felt as if she were in a cold abyss, completely enveloped by loneliness and helplessness.
She walked to the main hall of the Yunlan Sect, a place that once symbolized the sect's majesty, but now the gates were tightly closed and the place was deathly silent.
Yun Yun slowly reached out and gently touched the cold door, tears involuntarily sliding down her cheeks.
"Why...why did it turn out like this..."
Her voice trembled, filled with despair and pain. She couldn't accept what she was seeing; the once glorious Yunlan Sect was now reduced to just her, alone, watching over these ruins.
Yun Yun slumped to the ground, staring blankly into the distance, her hopes shattered in that moment.
Little Fairy Doctor followed behind her with a frown.
Chapter 162: The Xiao Family Crisis, Returning to the Xiao Family
After absorbing the energy from all the corpses of Yunlan Sect except Yunyun, the enormous energy directly propelled Yutian from the Great Perfection of the Dao Palace Realm to the Four Extremes Secret Realm.
Ruthless Man directly advanced from the first level of the Dao Palace Realm to the Great Perfection of the Dao Palace Realm.
Not to be outdone, Xiao Yan also successfully became a powerful cultivator at the first level of the Dao Palace Realm, specializing in heart cultivation.
"Xiao Yan, now that your three-month agreement with Nalan Yanran has passed, what are your plans for the future?"
He asked casually on a rainy day.
"How to go?"
Xiao Yan muttered something to himself, then looked up at the rainy sky.
“Master, I have already felt the satisfaction that comes from the power I have gained. I want to continue to follow you and explore the supreme path.”
Xiao Yan said sincerely.
"In that case, I will accompany you back to Wutan City. After all, if you follow me, the concept of home will become very weak in the future."
Rainy day said it casually.
"Then, Master, what do you plan to do about Yun Yun?"
Seeing that Yu Tian and the other two had finished their cultivation, Little Fairy Doctor quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Yun Yun?"
Yu Tian murmured something softly, then turned his gaze to Yun Yun. Seeing that she was in a daze, Yu Tian thought for a moment.
"Take her with you; she can be my maid in the future."
Yu Tian smiled faintly, then led Yun Yun toward Wutan City, while Ruthless grabbed Little Fairy Doctor, with Xiao Yan following closely behind.
The group landed not far from the city of Wutan.
When he reached the city gate, Xiao Yan stopped and looked at the three large characters "Wutan City" above the gate.
"In just three months, Wutan City has changed so much."
Because Xiao Yan always missed his father, he walked alone at the front this time, with Yu Tian, Ruthless Man, and others following behind him.
Throughout the journey, Xiao Yan did not stop. He only paused briefly when passing a few former Xiao family market towns, where he frowned slightly as he looked at the somewhat deserted markets, but his pace gradually quickened.
He drove through several streets with practiced ease, then suddenly stopped, looking up at a huge courtyard located at the end of the street. The large characters "Xiao Family" on the gate made him slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
Standing at his own doorstep, Xiao Yan finally felt much more at ease.
Thinking back to three months ago, when he left home with Yu Tian, his father and the rest of the Xiao family saw him off.
But now when I returned home, the place was quite deserted. The guards who used to stand neatly at the gate, looking quite imposing, were nowhere to be seen.
"What happened?"
Xiao Yan frowned, and then he subconsciously looked up at the rainy sky.
"If anything unexpected happens, feel free to cause trouble. If anything goes wrong, your teacher will take responsibility for you."
Seeing Xiao Yan's hesitant and conflicted expression on the rainy day, and sensing that the Xiao family now was completely different from the one he left behind, Yu Tian realized that the Xiao family was now a completely different family.
Therefore, he realized that the Xiao family was probably in real trouble.
“Master, I’m scared. I feel like the Xiao family has been attacked. I’m worried I won’t see my father again.”
Xiao Yan said dejectedly.
"Come on, we'll see once it rots inside."
"Thank you, Master."
Seeing that Yu Tian had already led the way into the Xiao family compound, Xiao Yan quickly composed himself and followed Yu Tian inside.
"Do you think the Xiao family was wiped out?"
Little Fairy Doctor asked in confusion.
"I don't know. If they really wiped out our entire family, we can just go find them then."
The ruthless man spoke without even thinking.
I had just stepped into the Xiao family mansion on a rainy day.
A somewhat immature but angry voice rang out from behind the door.
"And who are you? Do you really think the Xiao family is easy to bully?"
Hearing the sound, Yu Tian paused in his steps, turned his head, and looked at the source of the sound. Behind the gate, a pretty little girl, only about twelve or thirteen years old, was glaring at him angrily.
"you..."
Before Yu Tian could speak, Xiao Yan emerged from behind him.
As Xiao Yan gazed at the little girl before him, memories from several years ago flooded his mind. This little girl was Xiao Mei's younger sister, named Xiao Qing.
"You must be Xiao Qing, my cousin. How is your sister Xiao Mei? I didn't expect that you wouldn't recognize your cousin after only three months."
Hearing Xiao Yan call her name so readily, the little girl was clearly taken aback, her bright eyes lingering on Yu Tian for a moment.
After frowning and pondering for a long time, Xiao Qing suddenly remembered something. Her little face, which had been staring at Xiao Yan, instantly turned red. A moment later, the excited little girl suddenly pounced on Xiao Yan.
"Cousin Xiao Yan? It really is you! You're finally back!"
Xiao Yan walked straight forward and hugged Xiao Qing in his arms.
He smiled and stroked Xiao Qing's hair, speaking softly.
"Little girl, it's only been a few months since we last met, and you didn't even recognize your cousin right away. I'm not giving you any more candy."
"Cousin, boohoo, you're finally back! From now on, Qingqing won't want anything you do for me. I just want you to help the clan and drive those bad guys away."
“Those bad guys are trying to take advantage of our misfortune. They come to the Xiao family every day. My mother said they want to seize our market. We haven’t even dared to leave the house lately.”
Lifting the little face, which was covered in tears, from Xiao Yan's arms, Xiao Qing, with red eyes, sobbed.
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan smiled and patted Xiao Qing on the back, whispering.
"Alright, Qingqing, don't be afraid. Leave these things to your cousin. Take me inside and have a look."
"Uh-huh..."
Xiao Qing nodded eagerly. Because Xiao Yan had helped the Xiao family become the most powerful force in Wutan City, Xiao Yan's reputation was extremely high among Xiao Qing's generation of younger generations. Although it was due to Yu Tian's strength, Yu Tian was still Xiao Yan's master.
Standing up straight, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Qing, who was skipping and hopping along the path in a cheerful mood, but his face slowly darkened.
Yu Tian gently patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, then gave him a reassuring look.
The sudden surge of chilling killing intent from within him caused Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, to raise an eyebrow in slight surprise.
Following behind Xiao Qing, Xiao Yan stepped lightly on the gravel path.
Following Xiao Qing through several narrow paths, a rather spacious hall gradually came into view.
“Those bad guys are inside, as are the Grand Elder and the others, but they are all injured, otherwise those guys wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous.”
Xiao Qing raised her little fist towards the hall and said indignantly.
"Injured? Something really happened in the clan..."
