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

Chapter 8: Yao Chen Awakens, Nalan Yanran Arrives

The breakthrough lasted for an hour, and almost all the battle energy within a radius of a hundred miles was absorbed by Hun Cang alone.

Finally, the vortex dissipated, and Hun Cang landed on the ground, slowly opening his eyes.

Seeing Jia Liebi and the others approaching with smiles, he said indifferently, "Get lost, don't bother me!"

The smiles on their faces froze instantly, and they turned and left without hesitation.

The bystanders didn't dare to linger.

Along the way, you could still hear them talking in hushed tones.

"As expected of a Dou Huang powerhouse, such a powerful aura."

"The so-called three major families of Wutan City don't even dare to fart in front of a Dou Huang."

"I've made up my mind. Tomorrow I'm going to the Monster Mountain Range. I want to become stronger, I want to become a Battle Emperor!"

……

We walked all the way into the city.

Jialiebi dared to turn around, puzzled, and asked, "Why is Lord Cangwang suddenly so angry?"

"I don't know." Xiao Zhan shook his head, not daring to make any wild guesses.

Gu Ni gave Jia Liebi a warning look and said in a deep voice, "I suggest you ask fewer questions, or you might bring disaster upon Wutan City!"

The others shook their heads and sighed, then left.

They originally wanted to take advantage of Hun Cang's breakthrough to offer some gifts and praise, hoping to make an impression while Hun Cang was in a good mood.

……

"He has no self-awareness at all! If it weren't for Xiao Yan, who the hell would want to come to this godforsaken place?" Hun Cang wrinkled his nose, somewhat annoyed.

Given his status, he would be flattered wherever he went.

He might feel happy and proud if this happened once or twice.

But too much of it will annoy anyone.

Moreover, this is Wutan City, a border city of the Gama Empire. Befriending those people would bring Hun Cang no benefit whatsoever; it would be a pure waste of time.

"Breaking through to the Dou Huang realm will finally put an end to a worry of mine..." He let out a long breath, gathered his thoughts, and a smile appeared on Hun Cang's face as he fixed his gaze on the ancient black ring.

Suddenly, a jade bottle appeared in his hand, containing an unknown liquid. It flowed onto the ring but did not slide off; instead, it merged into the ring as if it were being absorbed.

This is a medicinal liquid from the Soul Clan that is beneficial to the soul, and Hun Cang possesses a great deal of it.

In just a few seconds, a halo of light flashed across the ring.

"Venerable Medicine, now that you're awake, why bother hiding?" After waiting a few seconds and seeing that the ring remained still, Hun Cang spoke indifferently.

hum-

An invisible energy fluctuation appeared, and then a figure appeared in front of Hun Cang. It was somewhat transparent, but it could be identified as an old man.

"Who are you? Why do you know me?" Yao Chen scrutinized Hun Cang for a while, slightly surprised.

Over the years, he had been in a daze, only occasionally regaining consciousness when he spontaneously absorbed battle qi, and he knew little about the outside world.

Even so, Yao Chen knew that the person he had absorbed before seemed to be just a little guy who had just advanced to the Dou Zhe level.

It was quite strange that this person could recognize him.

"Hun Cang!" he introduced himself, ignoring Yao Chen's shocked expression, and continued, "Let's make a deal."

"What is your relationship with the Soul Palace?" Yao Chen asked coldly, his eyes filled with hatred.

His current state is undoubtedly related to the Soul Palace.

"The Soul Palace... is nothing more than a dog kept by my family," Hun Cang said indifferently. His father was the Soul Emperor, so there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Yao Chen sneered, "So that's how it is. You still dared to dream of making a deal with me? Keep dreaming!"

Hun Cang said nonchalantly, "I'm going to talk to you properly now. Don't be ungrateful. If you want me to talk, the Soul Palace has plenty of ways to get you to speak. I just don't want to bother with anything."

Before Yao Chen could speak, he continued, "If you agree, I can help you restore your body. I can even bring that traitor Han Feng to you for you to deal with as you see fit."

Yao Chen's eyes flickered, somewhat tempted. With a new body, he had many ways to quickly restore his strength.

After all, the strength of an eighth-grade alchemist is no joke.

He looked at Hun Cang and asked, "What do you want?"

"Burning Technique!"

Hun Cang smiled and uttered two words that immediately changed Yao Chen's expression.

……

In the mountains and forests, on a smooth, paved road, a horse-drawn carriage sped along.

A short while later, as they looked at the city that appeared ahead, they slowed down slightly, and the young man driving the car turned to the passenger compartment and said, "Junior Sister Nalan, we have arrived at Wutan City."

The next second, the curtain was lifted slightly, revealing a beautiful yet somewhat childish face. Her fair skin was smooth and delicate, and a hint of arrogance inadvertently appeared between her brows and eyes.

Nalan Yanran glanced at the low-lying city walls, nodded calmly, and said, "Thank you for driving all the way, Senior Brother."

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

Upon hearing this, the disciple's weariness vanished, as if he could continue driving for three days and three nights.

Inside the carriage, there was an old man sitting by the window with his eyes closed. He was wearing a robe with the Yunlan Sect's insignia, and a silver crescent moon was painted on his chest. Around the crescent moon were seven glittering golden stars.

He was none other than a Seven-Star Grandmaster!

"Elder Ge," Nalan Yanran said, "do you think this annulment will go smoothly? I feel a little uneasy."

The old man, Ge Ye, slowly opened his eyes and said with a faint smile, "A fallen little family, do you really think you can contend with my Yunlan Sect?"

Seeing that Nalan Yanran was uneasy, he added again, "With the sect leader vouching for you this time, no matter how bold the Xiao family is, they cannot possibly offend a Dou Huang, unless the Xiao family has someone who is close to being a Dou Huang."

"How could that be? If they had that kind of strength, why would the Xiao family have moved from the capital of the Jia Ma Empire to such a dilapidated place?" Nalan Yanran quickly retorted.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt much lighter.

Elder Ge's words do make sense.

I was probably too nervous and paranoid...

Nalan Yanran thought for a moment and then sat down quietly.

The carriage entered Wutan City and headed straight for the Xiao family. Along the way, people were attracted by the signs on the carriage, and gazes came from all directions.

"Where did this person come from?"

"I think I've seen that sign before, but I can't remember it right now."

"That's normal, it's the symbol of the Yunlan Sect of the Jiama Empire."

"The Yunlan Sect? The legendary top sect of the Jia Ma Empire, capable of rivaling the royal family?"

"Holy crap, even a powerful overlord like this comes to Utan City?"

"Look, they're heading towards the Xiao family. Could it be that the Yunlan Sect is here to recruit disciples?"

"Are you trying to make me laugh? Taking on a disciple? Who? Don't tell me it's Xiao Yan, who's at the third level of Dou Qi?"

On both sides of the road, the sounds of discussion were incessant.

The gate of the Xiao family.

The servants on duty had already been notified. When they saw the magnificent carriage driving straight towards them, one of them immediately turned around and ran inside to report to the master.

Not long after.

In the main hall of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan sat at the head of the table, while the other elders and some disciples of the clan took their seats.

"Clan Chief Xiao, Ge Ye from the Yunlan Sect has come to pay a visit!"

"Welcome, welcome!"

Xiao Zhan rose to greet them and led the three distinguished guests to their seats. While chatting, he secretly searched for Xiao Yan's figure but could not find him, which made him slightly anxious.
