Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 3: Break off the engagement, don't underestimate a young man's potential!

"By the way, where are the five elders?"

Hun Qing thought of the Five Heavenly Venerables who disappeared as soon as he arrived in the Jia Ma Empire, and couldn't help but ask about his situation.

The Sixth Heavenly Venerable and the Seventh Heavenly Venerable exchanged a glance. The Sixth Heavenly Venerable cupped his hands and replied, "Young Master, the Five Elders have gone to the Cloud Mist Sect."

"Yunlan Sect..." Hun Qinghao murmured, pondering how to treat Yunlan Sect.

The next morning, the Xiao family's distinguished guests arrived, and the reception hall was packed.

After Xiao Yan arrived, the distinguished guest welcomed by the Xiao family, the aloof and beautiful young woman in a moon-white dress, rose and walked to the center of the hall, bowing respectfully to Xiao Zhan at the head of the table.

"Your niece, Nalan Yanran, greets Uncle Xiao!"

"Nalan Yanran? Nalan Yanran, the granddaughter of Old Master Nalan!" Xiao Zhan was slightly stunned at first, but after realizing who Nalan Yanran was, he was overjoyed and laughed loudly, "So it's my niece Nalan. Uncle Xiao hasn't seen you for many years. Please don't blame me for being bad at recognizing you."

Nalan Yanran smiled gently, her voice warm, "Uncle Xiao, I haven't been able to come and pay my respects, and I should apologize for that!"

"Hahaha..." Xiao Zhan laughed heartily upon hearing this, "I had heard before that you had been taken in by Lady Yun Yun, and I didn't expect it to be true. My niece is truly talented!"

"Yanran was just lucky!" Nalan Yanran smiled faintly and winked at Ge Ye beside her.

Ge Ye steeled himself and stood up, walked to Nalan Yanran's side, and, taking advantage of the power of the Yunlan Sect, proposed to annul the engagement.

Upon hearing that Nalan Yanran had come to annul the engagement, Xiao Yan felt a surge of anger. He knew that the gap between him and Nalan Yanran was too great, and he had no objection to annuling the engagement, but definitely not in this way.

The matter of annulling the engagement could clearly be resolved privately; could Xiao Yan really afford to pester him relentlessly?

However, in front of everyone, Nalan Yanran used the Yunlan Sect to pressure her father and requested to dissolve the engagement. In that case, her father, as the clan leader, would have completely lost face!

How will Father manage the family business in the future?

"Xiao Zhan, stop now! Don't forget you're the head of the Xiao family!"

The elder's stern shout from behind calmed Xiao Zhan, who was unleashing the mid-level Xuan-rank battle skill, Mad Lion's Fury. He asked with a stern face, "Niece Nalan, has Old Master Nalan agreed to the annulment of the engagement today?"

Nalan Yanran lowered her head slightly, remained silent for a moment, then raised her head proudly, "Grandpa didn't agree, but this is my matter, and I can decide for myself!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan deflated and sat down dejectedly.

"...You will be the future sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, and a prominent figure in the Dou Qi Continent. My Yan'er is merely a mediocre person, and indeed, he is not worthy of you..."

Outside, Hun Qinghao stood in the space where the Dou Zun powerhouse was hidden, watching the famous scene of the annulment of the engagement in the hall.

Seeing Ge Ye take out a Qi Gathering Powder as a condition for annulment, and seeing Xiao Yan unable to contain his anger and forcefully give Nalan a letter of divorce, and then make a three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran.

"Miss Nalan, for the sake of Master Nalan, Xiao Yan offers you a few words of advice: fortunes change, and one should never underestimate a young man's potential!"

It wasn't until Xiao Yan pointed at Nalan Yanran and shouted this classic line that Hun Qinghao finally stepped out of the space.

"Never underestimate a young man's potential!"

A clear and bright female voice rang out in the silent hall.

Everyone in the hall looked up at the sound and saw a stunningly beautiful silver-haired girl in her prime gracefully walking in from the doorway.

Behind the girl followed two mysterious men dressed in black robes, their faces covered with gray-white masks and their heads draped with black cloaks.

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the silver-haired girl in front of him, his heart pounding.

Her lips were slightly upturned, exuding an air of authority without anger, and her demeanor was noble and elegant, like a fairy atop a snow-capped mountain.

He had never seen such a beautiful girl before; the way she walked slowly towards him felt as if she had walked straight into his heart.

When Xiao Xun'er saw the attire of the two people behind Hun Qinghao, she was startled.

It's the Soul Palace!

Why are people from the Soul Palace here at the Xiao family? What exactly do they want?

Xiao Xun'er was extremely anxious, but dared not show it.

"Who are you?" Nalan Yanran frowned slightly and asked in an unfriendly tone.

"Someone you can't afford to offend!" Hun Qinghao's gaze was sharp and cold as he glanced at Nalan Yanran with an irresistible sense of intimidation and pressure.

The Seventh Heavenly Venerable stepped forward, releasing only the aura of a Dou Zong realm cultivator, and said coldly, "My young master has important matters to discuss with the Xiao family patriarch and the Third Young Master Xiao Yan. The rest of you, step back!"

As soon as the Dou Zong's aura was unleashed, everyone in the hall turned pale, feeling a tightness in their chests and struggling to breathe.

Xiao Zhan felt a chill in his heart. The matter of Yunlan Sect had just been resolved, and now a mysterious force even more terrifying than Yunlan Sect had appeared. Was the Xiao family going to perish here today?

Ge Ye looked at Hun Qinghao and the other two with fear in his eyes. This terrifying aura was far beyond even that of the sect leader. Yunlan Sect couldn't afford to offend them, so it was best to leave first.

So, Ge Ye carefully pulled Nalan Yanran out of the hall, not even bothering with the Qi Gathering Powder.

Seeing that the Yunlan Sect members were so sensible, Hun Qinghao was quite satisfied. Then she looked at the Xiao family members and casually asked, "What about you? Aren't you leaving yet?"

"This is the Xiao family home, not yours..."

Xiao Xun'er disliked the Soul Palace and suspected that Soul Minister Hao had some kind of conspiracy, so she stood in front of Xiao Yan and scolded him.

Before she could finish speaking, Hun Qinghao swung her soul lock and slammed it to the ground. "You'd better shut up and get out of here, or this young lady won't show you any mercy!"

Her voice was extremely dangerous, and she made no attempt to conceal her level of skill.

"Battle King..." Xiao Zhan's pupils shrank, his heart filled with extreme shock.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but clench his hands. The title of Dou Wang... was so far away from him!

This girl looks even younger than Xun'er, but she's already a Dou Wang at such a young age!

The members of the Xiao family had already left the hall one after another. Xiao Yan also nodded slightly to Xiao Xun'er, indicating that she should go out first.

Xiao Xun'er gritted her teeth and reluctantly left the hall.

She only hoped that these people from the Soul Palace would not harm Brother Xiao Yan; otherwise, she would make them pay the price, no matter what!

Now only Xiao Zhan and his son Xiao Yan remain in the hall. The Seven Heavenly Venerables restrained their auras, and the Sixth Heavenly Venerable raised his hand to set up a barrier.

Xiao Zhan exhaled a breath of stale air, cupped his hands in greeting to Hun Qinghao, and cautiously asked, "May I ask what brings you to the Xiao family, young lady?"

Hun Qinghao did not answer, but walked to the seat of honor and sat down before speaking calmly: "This young lady can bring your son Xiao Yan back to his peak, but your Xiao family only needs to exchange two things."

Upon hearing this, both Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan looked up at Hun Qinghao with wide eyes and trembling lips.

You should know that ever since Xiao Yan inexplicably fell to the third level of Dou Qi three years ago, the Xiao family has tried countless methods, but none of them have been able to restore Xiao Yan's cultivation talent.

Now, this young girl claims to have a solution, which makes them unable to suppress their excitement.
