The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Some inner court students were shocked when they recognized Xiao Ziyan's identity, wondering who she was that could make the number one ranked brute force king cry!

---Aside---

Little Ziyan is adorable, mischievous, and a little devil—don't you all love her? I know I do! ′ω｀

Chapter Twenty-Two: Elder Ling's Strength

Xun'er ran all the way, large tears like pearls streaming down her face, crashing to the ground and shattering. Even as she ran, she couldn't help but recall scenes of herself with Brother Xuanyuan, which still seemed vivid in her mind.

But the little girl just now called Brother Xuanyuan "Dad". The more Xun'er thought about it, the sadder she became. She felt a tearing pain in her heart. So, the reason why Brother Xuanyuan kept delaying coming to see her was because he already had a child!

Thinking of this, Xun'er felt a sharp pain in her heart, almost suffocating her. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Her hair was disheveled, her light blue robe was stained with mud, and she had lost one shoe. She ran and ran, not knowing how long she had run, until she reached the top of a mountain. Facing the wind, she felt the clarity and coolness of the mountain breeze. She just stood there quietly watching, gazing at the distant rolling mountains and the sunset glow that reflected the twilight.

"The wind is picking up!"

Another refreshing breeze swept in, passing over her fair, slender neck, through her light blue robe, and ruffling her long, black hair. The breeze seemed to blow away all the troubles and sorrows from her delicate, tear-streaked face.

But that handsome, pleasing face kept appearing in her mind, and that lonely yet upright figure always lingered in her heart.

"Why? Why?"

Xun'er covered her face with her hands, squatted down, and burst into tears.

"Alas," a long sigh rang out, and an old figure slowly emerged from the shadow of the big tree behind. His temples were already streaked with white, and although he looked very old, his figure was extremely upright, without any signs of an old man's stoop. This person was none other than Ling Ying, the old man who had been hiding in the shadows to protect Xun'er!

Old Master Ling walked steadily to Xun'er's back, reaching out his hands to help her up, but hesitated and eventually withdrew them. Heartbreak is something that time can heal, and as an outsider, he couldn't really help.

"Miss, why don't I go and kill that brat to avenge you?!" Old Ling's words carried a chilling murderous aura, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze slightly.

"No, I don't need you to kill Brother Xuanyuan." Xun'er's voice was choked with sobs, but her tone was firm and left no room for argument.

"Sigh." Old Master Ling sighed softly again, his voice sounding as if he had aged several years. Xun'er had grown up in the Xiao family since she was a child, and he had always secretly looked after her. Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, Old Master Ling had always regarded Xun'er as his own granddaughter, protecting her with all his heart. Moreover, he had been secretly watching the love triangle and emotional entanglements between Xun'er, Xiao Xuanyuan, and Xiao Yan, and it was all vivid in his mind. So, no one understood better than him how much Miss cared about that boy named Xiao Xuanyuan!

However, ever since that young man entered the barrier space of the Alchemy Valley, he has been unable to follow him in and has been unable to obtain any clues about Xiao Xuanyuan. For the past year, Miss has been depressed and sullen. Seeing Xun'er getting thinner and thinner, Elder Ling felt pain in his heart, but he was helpless.

Finally, in order to please the young lady, half a year ago, he even fabricated some good news to pass on to her. Unexpectedly, the young lady was happy for several days because of this. She ate well and slept soundly. Old Master Ling no longer had to worry about her health. In the end, for the sake of Xun'er, he could only continue to fabricate news about that boy.

Despite all the precautions, Miss was still heartbroken by that young man in the end. Old Master Ling also felt very heavy-hearted at this moment!

The atmosphere remained silent, growing increasingly tense. After saying those words, the young lady stopped talking and continued to squat there, sobbing softly, which pained Old Master Ling.

“Miss, let’s go back. That way, you’ll never have to see that young man named Xiao Xuanyuan again! And you won’t have to worry about him anymore!” Old Master Ling said after a moment of contemplation.

The mountain wind continued to blow, as if tearing something apart, carrying waves of pain. It wasn't refreshing, but heartbreaking. After a long while, Xun'er slowly stopped sobbing and gently nodded, "Mmm."

Elder Ling waved his hand, and an ancient flute appeared in his palm. He held it to his lips, took a slow breath, and was about to play it to summon the Azure Phoenix, a flying magical beast capable of long-range flight.

Just then, a figure, as swift as an arrow released from a bow, leaped up to the summit of the mountain and hurtled towards the spot where Elder Ling stood.

Ugh!

The old man's eyes flickered with emotion, but he finally gritted his teeth and played the ancient flute, producing a melodious sound that seemed to have been passed down from ancient times.

Boo!

The sound of a flute rang out, followed by a sharp cry from a bird or beast in the distance. A giant brown bird, with a body the size of a Kunpeng and a wingspan of over twenty zhang, spread its wings and soared high, rushing towards them. One moment it seemed to be in the sky, and the next moment it was already in the nearby sky, flying towards Elder Ling on the mountain peak.

In an instant, it came to a stop on the mountaintop. At a glance, this Azure Phoenix flying magical beast was forty or fifty meters long and more than ten meters tall when standing, like a giant flying eagle fighter jet.

"Miss, please get on!" Old Master Ling reached out and helped Xun'er up, intending for her to ride the giant flying beast, the Azure Phoenix, away. Xun'er hesitated for a moment, but she gritted her teeth and boarded the flying beast anyway.

"slow!"

Just then, a loud shout came from afar, and Xiao Xuanyuan was already panting as he approached.

"Miss, let's go, don't linger anymore, it's not worth it for someone like him!" Seeing that Xiao Xuanyuan had finally caught up at this critical moment, Elder Ling's expression changed, and he urged Xun'er to hurry on her way.

"Xun'er, wait, I have something to tell you!"

Xiao Xuanyuan pushed his speed to the limit in one breath. He was still dozens of meters away, but with a burst of air, he turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed to Elder Ling's side in the blink of an eye.

"Miss, hurry! This old servant will hold off this brat for you!"

With a loud shout, Elder Ling's hand transformed into a claw. His seemingly aged body suddenly unleashed an extremely powerful force, soaring into the air like a flying eagle and lunging towards Xiao Xuanyuan with a claw.

"Eagle's Devouring Claw!" A claw as large as a small mountain, blotting out the sky, instantly materialized and fiercely attacked.

"Xun'er, don't go! I really have something to tell you!"

Upon seeing Elder Ling make a move, Xiao Xuanyuan's expression changed drastically. He suddenly did a somersault, creating an explosive vortex beneath his feet, and his body flipped backward, narrowly dodging the attack!

Boom!

The giant claw missed its target and suddenly grabbed the spot where Xiao Xuanyuan had just stood, unleashing a deafening roar. In an instant, a mountain peak over a hundred meters high was ripped off by its claw, with a small portion of the summit being torn away.

With a swift movement, Elder Ling retracted his hand, and the half-mountain peak that had been held in mid-air exploded into pieces with a deafening roar.

---Aside---

Ugh, Mr. Ling, how could you possibly stop my love for Xiao Xun'er? ￣3￣╭ I'll shower you with little flowers!

Chapter Twenty-Three: I'm Going to Kill You

With his imposing purple cloud wings appearing behind him, Xiao Xuanyuan hovered in mid-air, his eyes flashing with sharpness as he stared intently at Elder Ling, who had also conjured wings of battle qi in front of him.

"Why are you stopping me?!"

Xiao Xuanyuan naturally recognized Elder Ling, the powerful figure he had often spied on as a child using his Heavenly Vision Prodigy technique, always hiding behind Xun'er. In truth, Xiao Xuanyuan was very grateful to Elder Ling. If Elder Ling hadn't repeatedly prevented Xiao Yan from getting close to Xun'er and making irrational moves, he probably wouldn't have had the chance. Moreover, as Xun'er's close protector, without Elder Ling's presence, Xun'er wouldn't be so safe. Regardless of whether it was arranged by the ancient clan or not, Xiao Xuanyuan had to thank him. However, now...

"Hmph, you've broken Miss's heart, you no longer deserve her love, get out of here!"

Elder Ling snorted coldly, and with a flap of his dark brown battle qi wings, his figure instantly transformed into a giant eagle with bent legs. His claws changed into huge mountain eagle claws, tearing towards Xiao Xuanyuan. The air reverberated as the mountain-sized claws slammed down.

"If you think I'm easy to bully, go ahead and try."

Xiao Xuanyuan sneered, forming hand seals. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth moved with the energy, and the fire fighting energy in his body poured in like a tide. Two huge suns, one white and one black, merged in mid-air and crashed together, transforming into a huge yin-yang tai chi diagram that blocked out the sun and tore through the gale.

"Ancient Reincarnation Technique! Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram!"

"Eagle's Claw Devouring God! Third Move, Eagle Soars Through the Sky!"

The enormous Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram collided violently with the mountain-sized Sky-Covering Eagle Claw, unleashing a tremendous explosion that shattered the heavens and the earth. The fierce and sharp eagle claw and the indestructible Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, representing the pinnacle of power from two different eras, roared and vented their fury as they poured their energy onto each other.

Rumble!

In an instant, the world lost its color, the sun and moon lost their light, and the surrounding forces roared, howled, and tore at each other. The mountain peak, which was originally only half a mountain, was instantly shattered and turned into flat ground under the collision of these two powerful forces.

Time seemed to pass indefinitely, but in reality it was only two or three breaths. After the powerful collision between the two, they immediately separated and switched positions.

"I never expected that you, at such a young age, would have the strength to contend with a peak nine-star Dou Huang. I underestimated you before!"

Old Ling clutched his chest, his breathing somewhat disordered. In the clash just now, he seemed to have been slightly outmatched.

"Hmph, is that so?! I'll show you that the man Xun'er has her eye on is stronger than you think!"

Xiao Xuanyuan sneered. His iron palms had already gathered enough surging power. In a flash, countless afterimages appeared behind him as he sped away, carrying overwhelming power. His hands, one white and one black, came together, and an even more ferocious and powerful force poured out.

Ancient Reincarnation Technique!

A giant black and white sun, even more dazzling than before, appeared, obscuring the sky and hurtling towards Elder Ling. As the giant black and white sun moved, the enormous shadow covering the nearby mountains and rivers also moved, enveloping Elder Ling's thin and aged body below.

Upon seeing the appearance of the black and white giant sun and sensing the powerful force that seemed capable of crushing everything in the world, Elder Ling's expression changed drastically. This young man seemed to be hiding a shocking secret. With only the level of a nine-star Dou Wang, he had unleashed a power comparable to the peak of a nine-star Dou Huang.

"Eagle Soaring God-Devouring Claw Fifth Form: Eagle Piercing the Nine Heavens!"

Despite the danger, Elder Ling remained calm and composed. His hand seals sliced ​​through the air, generating powerful energy capable of tearing apart mountains and rivers. In mid-air, countless patterns of dragons and snakes danced. Finally, with a loud shout, countless battle energies erupted from his body, instantly forming a majestic eagle spreading its wings and soaring high, centered on his vigorous and aged body.

The eagle was enormous, larger than a 500-meter-high mountain. With its wings spread wide, it resembled a roc soaring through the sky, capable of flying as far as 90,000 miles. The giant eagle let out a cry that pierced the sky, tearing the void apart and snapping several tall peaks in half, causing them to collapse with a thunderous crash.

The black and white Tai Chi diagram, obscuring the sun, was like a mountain falling from the heavens, carrying immense force. It smashed through the void with a thunderous roar, crashing down like a tidal wave.

The giant eagle that Elder Ling transformed into was as large as a Kunpeng, its strength rivaling the heavens. With a cry, four or five towering mountains collapsed. Under the control of Elder Ling's body in the giant eagle, carrying the sharpness of an eagle soaring through the sky, it pierced through the void and soared straight up to the heavens, determined to meet the crushing black and white giant sun.

Boom! Boom!

The two clashed once more, unleashing a powerful force that shattered the surrounding void. Countless energies poured down, tearing apart the mountains and rivers below, crushing mountains and beasts, and causing countless lives to perish in the catastrophe of their battle.

"Don't think that just because you're older, you can separate me and Xun'er. I will never admit defeat!" Xiao Xuanyuan's face was ferocious. He pushed his fire fighting energy to its limit and continuously poured it into the black and white Yin-Yang Taiji diagram that blotted out the sun. This time, for Xun'er, he would never back down, not even if it meant death!

Memories of Xun'er kept replaying in his mind. As a child, he would always hide in a corner and secretly watch that beautiful and elegant figure. At night, he felt guilty, like a thief. When Xiao Yan was caught and punished by Elder Ling, he secretly nurtured Xun'er's meridians. Even though he unknowingly ruined himself in the end, he always kept quiet because Xiao Xuanyuan was too weak at that time, while Xiao Yan was the rising star that the Xiao family had high hopes for. The two were simply incomparable!

Later, taking advantage of Xiao Yan's temporary low point, Xiao Xuanyuan had no choice but to provoke him in order to win back Xun'er. He did this to gain Yao Lao's help and even to win Xun'er's heart, having already abandoned all pretense of pride.

Scenes from the past kept flashing before my eyes: Xun'er's stubborn smile in front of me, her happy encouragement as I grew up, and the way she would watch over me from the shadows from time to time.

Xiao Xuanyuan could never forget any of this!

"Give up, kid. Miss won't go back with you. I've decided to tell her everything about your philandering ways, so she'll know exactly what kind of person you are!"

Old Ling sneered, having already made up his mind. Xiao Xuanyuan's whereabouts had always been under his surveillance. Although he sometimes didn't understand why the kid was able to evade him, there was always a time when he would slip up. Naturally, all of this could not escape Old Ling's eyes. He was not naive, but he felt that he had to find a suitable time to say it.

However, Xun'er's constant attention to Xiao Xuanyuan's thoughts automatically deceived her, making her unwilling to believe it. Until now, Elder Ling felt there was no need to hide it any longer, and it was time for Miss and Xiao Xuanyuan to have a complete resolution.

I'm going to kill you!

Xiao Xuanyuan roared, his eyes blazing with two pale yellow flames.

---Aside---

How can we expose our male lead? How is he supposed to pick up girls like this? Also, my little Xun'er is about to leave.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Combat Techniques Infinitely Approaching the Heavenly Rank

"You're still too greedy. Having a lady isn't enough; you're trying to have two women on your left and right, enjoying the blessings of beauties on all of them. You're really too selfish."

Elder Ling's voice was cold and deep, yet it struck Xiao Xuanyuan's heart repeatedly, causing him to tremble and unleash a violent aura.

"Don't think that just because you possess a different kind of fire you can surpass the Dou Wang and defeat me, a nine-star peak Dou Huang. That's impossible. The difference between us is like heaven and earth, like the sky and dust. You will be defeated by me."

Old Ling chuckled, and his seemingly withered and thin body burst forth with a terrifying power capable of destroying the world, which he then continuously poured into the giant eagle, whose body was as large as a mountain.

Boo!

A giant eagle, as large as a Kunpeng, let out a long cry that pierced the sky and crashed into the enormous Yin-Yang Taiji diagram that blotted out the sun. The diagram vibrated violently, and the giant eagle, having received the terrifying power poured in by Elder Ling like a surging river and sea, grew wildly again. In just a few breaths, it expanded to a whole size, covering more mountains and rivers below its feet.

"Eagle's Devouring Claw, Sixth Form: Shatter Mountains and Rivers!"
