Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 145 Yunshan's "Wild Ambition"?

one year later,

The back mountain of the Xiao family

"Phew~ It's about time to return to Zhongzhou. I can't miss the Space Trade Fair. It's a pity that I only improved my cultivation by two stars in a year, and that was because I took two Rank 8 pills. As expected of the Dou Zun realm, every star improvement is extremely difficult."

Xiao Li stood up, stretched his body, changed into a dark blue brocade robe, and left.

"Set off."

Xiao Li teleported to the main hall of the Xiao family, where Xiao Lin was handling family affairs.

"Brother, I'm going to Zhongzhou again to attend a high-level trade fair," Xiao Li said.

Xiao Lin looked up and sighed, "You don't need to tell me that, do you?"

Whether out of habit or something else, Xiao Li would inform his older brother Xiao Lin before going out, which gave Xiao Lin a headache. His younger brother was almost thirty years old, what did he still need to inform him about?

Xiao Li shrugged. He figured that if he told his family where he was going, they would know where he was going and have some peace of mind.

Xiao Lin put down his pen: "Sigh~ I'm so tired. There are so many family affairs. I'll pass on the family affairs and the position of clan leader to Zhan'er when he's more mature."

"When the time comes, Xiao Li, you'd better take your big brother to see the world! Being cooped up here in the Northwest Continent all the time, not even able to fight freely, I feel like my bones are about to give way."

Xiao Li stroked his chin: "Sure, you're not worried about not having any fights? There are a lot of people and a lot of trouble in Zhongzhou. Every time we go to a city, there will always be a few people with problems coming to cause trouble."

"You'll have your chance to make your move then, but brother, you should advance to the Dou Zong level as soon as possible. Although a Dou Huang cultivation level is enough to venture into the Central Continent, a Dou Zong level is much safer."

Xiao Lin rubbed his nose. His current cultivation level was all boosted by Xiao Li's pills. A month ago, he reached the peak of Dou Huang and wanted to try to break through to Dou Zong. He took the Breakthrough Pill but failed.

Fortunately, the Breakthrough Pill would preserve Xiao Lin's cultivation level, preventing him from falling. Xiao Lin felt the time was not right and prepared to reflect further, since he had been handling affairs at home and had not had the opportunity to take action.

This made Xiao Lin, who loved fighting, feel stifled. Although his cultivation improved rapidly, he felt that his fighting spirit was very weak.

"By the way, I have two things to tell you. First, I feel that I encountered a mortal enemy a few years ago, probably after that tournament of strong people."

He challenged me to a duel two years ago, and I suspect something's up. I'm telling you this so we can go together in two years, just in case he pulls some tricks.

Xiao Lin crossed his arms and slowly said, "If the Xiao family had no one else, he would have had to bite the bullet and face this mortal enemy. Now that the family has many strong members, Xiao Lin naturally intends to play it safe."

"No big deal. They're my mortal enemies in the Northwest Continent. I don't believe they can send a Seven-Star Dou Zun. As long as they're below Seven-Star Dou Zun, I'll cover for them. What's the second thing?" Xiao Li waved his hand and said.

Xiao Lin recalled the second thing: "You should still remember Nalan Jie, right? He's the head of the Nalan family in Jia Ma Holy City and a good friend of mine."

Xiao Li: "Of course I know. Didn't you meet him at the Strongest Gathering? You two were sworn brothers, and afterwards you guarded the empire's borders together. You two were even the empire's Grand Marshals."

Xiao Lin nodded, then scratched his cheek: "It wasn't like when we were drinking in the past, we got drunk and had a great time chatting with Nalan Jie. If our grandchildren were all boys or girls, we would become sworn brothers."

If they are a man and a woman, they will become husband and wife. I only recently learned that Nalan Jie has a granddaughter who was born on the same day as Yan'er.

Then Nalan Jie wrote to tell me about it, and that's when I remembered it. What do you suggest we do?

Xiao Li stroked his chin: "Let nature take its course. If they get along well, they can continue; if not, the marriage can be called off. It's no big deal."

Xiao Lin nodded: "I thought so too. I'll take some time to go to the capital and talk to Nalan Jie in person. After all, it's an agreement between us. If the two kids don't get along, it will put them in a difficult position."

"Um."

. . . . . .

Yunlan Mountain Peak

Yun Yun sat upright atop the mountain peak. At this moment, she had lost all her previous sharpness, and there was not a trace of sword intent on her body. In fact, one could not even sense her cultivation level.

Yunshan stood at a distance protecting his disciple. He looked at Yunyun's restrained aura, which he could not discern at all, and nodded in satisfaction.

"That's great."

Yun Yun opened her eyes, stood up, and stepped in front of Yun Shan, bowing to him and saying, "Thank you for protecting me, Master."

Yunshan smiled and helped Yunyun up: "Hey~ Do we, master and disciple, need to be so polite? It's me, as your teacher, who hasn't given you much help. I'm ashamed to be your teacher."

Yun Yun shook her head: "If it weren't for Teacher pulling me out of the ruins, I would have been long gone. Teacher gave me a second life. Teacher is not only my teacher, but also my father."

Yunshan was deeply moved, which showed that his apprentice was truly excellent.

"Good, good, good. With you here, I feel that my life has not been in vain. I have lived up to my master's and Yunlan Sect's cultivation." Yunshan said with a trembling voice.

"Teacher, what are your plans after this? I am still young and do not know how to lead the Yunlan Sect." Yun Yun asked doubtfully. Since entering the Yunlan Sect, she has been cultivating to make the Yunlan Sect rise again.

However, Yun Yun's cultivation has now reached the Dou Zun level, and a year ago she even reached the Five-Star Dou Zun level. In the past year, she has successively consumed the Grade 8 Four-Colored Gangfeng Extreme Supreme Pill and the Grade 8 Five-Colored Purple-Green Supreme Pill that Xiao Li refined for her.

Yun Yun's cultivation has reached the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Zun and she has comprehended sword intent in Wan Jian Mountain. Yun Yun's current strength is enough to rival an ordinary Eight-Star Dou Zun.

However, Yun Yun possesses such power, and her cultivation is even above that of Yun Potian, the founder of the Yunlan Sect, yet she now does not know how to revive the Yunlan Sect.

"This? No rush, just proceed as usual. Our Yunlan Sect focuses on quiet cultivation, and the atmosphere in the sect is already very good. It's a famous cultivation holy land in the Jia Ma Empire and even several surrounding empires, which is already very good."

Now that I am a Dou Zong level expert, and you have become a Dou Zun level expert, that's already more than enough. There's no need to do anything unnecessary.

Yunshan waved his hand and said that he preferred quiet cultivation and disliked violent expansion; otherwise, the Jiama Empire would have changed hands long ago.

"Is that all?" Yun Yun asked doubtfully.

"Otherwise what?" Yunshan said, somewhat speechless. "Does it have to be like this? Cough cough."

Yunshan coughed, then rubbed his eyes to make them redder, and slightly messed up his neatly combed hair.

"The Gama Empire has been peaceful for too long. A major purge is actually quite good for my Yunlan Sect. I will lead the Yunlan Sect to an unprecedented peak, a height that no previous sect leader of the Yunlan Sect has ever reached!"

Yunshan's expression was unusually manic, as if he had "gone mad," which startled Yunyun.

After finishing speaking, Yunshan tidied himself up.

"Yun'er, do you perhaps wish to turn your teacher into that kind of person?"

One second Yunshan was acting strangely crazy, and the next second he became normal. This ups and downs made Yunyun feel a little uncomfortable.

After tidying himself up, Yunshan waved his sleeve and said, "If I hadn't broken through to the Dou Zong level, I might have had this thought. Now I've seen how wide the sky is and how vast the earth is."

Do you remember what happened to the Xiao family a few years ago? That old man, with just a flick of his finger, subdued two Dou Zun. That level of skill is truly enviable. I wonder if I can ever cultivate to that level? I'm afraid it's unlikely.

Yunshan said self-deprecatingly, then looked at Yunyun: "Yun'er could try to break through to that level on my behalf, and experience the view from the top."

"Yes, Your Highness. I obey!"

Yun Yun nodded in agreement, then looked into the distance and smiled knowingly.

Looking at the smile on Yun Yun's face, Yun Shan guessed that a certain brat had arrived, and the old father Yun Shan sighed.

"Yun'er, I'm going to cultivate. If you want to go out, just tell Yun Ji. Anyway, with Yun Ji watching over the sect, nothing serious will happen."

"Disciple understands."
