Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 75 Heading to the Yunlan Sect to Keep the Appointment

"He replied! He replied! My older brother replied!"

In Stone Desert City, the base of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, Xiao Yan was as happy as a fool.

Some people, puzzled, cast curious glances at the regimental commander, Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding scratched his head and raised his hand to calm himself down: "Little Yanzi, don't get excited, what did your older brother say?"

"My brother said he'll go tomorrow." Xiao Yan couldn't contain his excitement, which welled up on his face.

Xiao Li laughed and said, "You'd better perform well tomorrow. If you lose to Nalan Yanran, you'll lose face big time."

"How could that be!" Xiao Yan's face hardened upon hearing his second brother's words. "Your younger brother is now a nine-star Great Dou Master, how could I not defeat her?"

These words, spoken by Xiao Yan, were filled with confidence and assurance.

Even Xiao Ding and Xiao Li could only smile wryly, unable to refute it.

Having spent so much time together, they had seen all the good things Xiao Yan had brought out, and they were very envious.

Such as the Jade Lotus Platform and Fire Lotus Seeds, which can accelerate cultivation, and various elixirs.

Each and every one of them was enough to cause mercenaries to fight over them.

In Xiao Yan's hands, they were like cabbages, something he could easily pull out at will.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Xiao Yan felt a surge of joy.

Even now, whenever Xiao Yan recalls the decision he made at the Mittel Auction House, he feels incredibly fortunate.

It feels so good to have an older brother protecting me!

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Sunlight rose from the horizon, swept across the land, and shone on the imposing army at the foot of the mountain.

These soldiers were clad in armor, and the flags of the Gama Empire fluttered in the wind in the camp.

They came from the Jia Ma Empire and were ordered to guard the foot of Yunlan Sect Mountain.

At that moment, some figures passed through and headed up the mountain.

When the surrounding soldiers looked over, they couldn't help but show expressions of respect and admiration.

The leader was an old man dressed in a hemp robe, known as Elder Jia, the guardian deity of the Jia Ma Empire.

Beside him were General Mu Chen, Teng Shan, the patriarch of the Mittel family, and others.

"It's a pity that old man Nalan Jie was tormented by the branding poison and didn't have the chance to witness it in person." On the way up the mountain, Mittel Tengshan shook his head with some regret.

The middle-aged man, Mu Chen, said, "What's there to regret? He's just a kid from a remote city. You don't really think he can compete with the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, do you?"

"Mu Chen, how about we make a bet?" Mittel Tengshan chuckled, a cunning glint in his eyes.

Mu Chen hesitated for a moment.

That old guy is very cunning; he never does a losing deal. Could it be that Xiao Yan really has the ability to win?

Before he could think it over, Mittel Tengshan provoked him with a few more words, and Mu Chen, angered, agreed to the bet.

The two men each made their demands. When Mittel Tengshan saw that Jia Lao and Fa Ma were looking at him, he didn't mince words and asked the two men if they wanted to participate.

As he spoke, a burning passion flickered in Mitteltenshan's eyes.

One is the guardian deity of the royal family, and the other is the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Gama Empire.

These two have a lot of good stuff in their hands.

However, these two old men were shrewd and experienced. Seeing that Mittel Tengshan was full of confidence, they were not fooled at all.

Mittel Tengshan sighed, feeling a bit annoyed. "Ah, I was too eager just now. Otherwise, I might have managed to get something good out of them."

After all, among all these people, he probably knows the most about Xiao Yan.

His ability to understand this was also inextricably linked to Consort Ya, who was transferred back to the capital.

The group strolled leisurely up the mountain.

……

The Yunlan Sect's mountain gate has a huge platform, which is where disciples cultivate on weekdays and where students are recruited every year.

Today, the square is spotless.

A group of people dressed in the robes of the Yunlan Sect sat down quietly cross-legged, no one spoke, and a faint sense of killing intent lingered in the air.

Elders stood around, conversing with each other, their gazes occasionally sweeping over the graceful figure sitting cross-legged in front of the crowd.

And that was Nalan Yanran.

Among the elders, an old man was being reprimanded, and he looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Elder Ge, you're a veteran of our Yunlan Sect, how could you not even handle such a small matter back then?"

"Yes, sending a junior to provoke us, how can we, the Yunlan Sect, put our faces?"

"If I had been there that day, I would have wiped out any family in Wutan City who dared to say no."

The elders spoke one after another, fully expressing their dissatisfaction.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

The Yunlan Sect is a top-tier sect in the Jia Ma Empire. Even the three major families in the capital city have to think twice before speaking to them.

The elders were quite displeased that a small, remote family from Wutan City had made a three-year agreement with them; even if they won, it would be a huge embarrassment.

At this moment, an elder said with a stern face, "Alright, enough said. This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Ge Ye. Who would have thought that a Dou Huang would actually step in back then?"

When the other elders saw that it was the First Elder Yun Ling who spoke, they all fell silent.

Boo!

Not long after, with a beast's roar, a figure on the horizon approached the Yunlan Sect.

It was a flying magical beast, on which stood Hai Bodong, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and Xiao Yan.

The two Xiao brothers originally did not want to come, but they could not resist Xiao Yan's request. In addition, the city lord of Shimo City learned of the news and took the initiative to lend them a flying magical beast, so they had no choice but to agree.

"Big brother, second brother, just wait and see how I show my skills. I'll make that woman regret her decision." Xiao Yan was full of vigor and, to the astonishment of the two men, he leaped off the back of the magical beast.

The Xiao brothers, Ding and Li, were shocked. They were still in the air; what if they fell and got injured?

But the next second, they saw a pair of wings spread out behind Xiao Yan, and their eyes widened in surprise.

Battle aura transforming into wings?!

Hai Bodong glanced at the expressions of the two men and said indifferently, "That is just a relatively rare flying combat technique."

After saying that, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself that if he met Hun Cang later, he would call him "Big Brother" too.

Having such a big brother is so awesome...

Upon hearing Hai Bodong's words, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's expressions of astonishment subsided somewhat. The two brothers exchanged a glance, as if to say,

Fortunately, if my younger brother had become a Fighting King at such a young age, we older brothers would have been truly ashamed.

Several figures stood atop the tree canopy below.

Upon seeing this, Mu Chen's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in a low voice, "A Battle King?"

He panicked. If this was the strength of a Dou Wang, Nalan Yanran would undoubtedly lose, and he would lose as well.

Just then, he heard Jia Lao's voice beside him: "No, it's just a flying combat technique."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to relax, he suddenly felt a violent surge of battle energy shooting straight towards them.

The powerful pressure was only slightly weaker than what he felt from Elder Jia.

Mu Chen tensed up again.

"This aura..." Old Jia was slightly taken aback; he felt it was somewhat familiar.

"Old man Bing, it's him! That old bastard isn't dead yet!" Mittel Tengshan recognized the man and shouted excitedly.

Old Jia's furrowed brows relaxed as he remembered Ice Emperor, one of the top ten Dou Huang powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire.
