Just now, Elder Li, with his keen eye, realized that Xiao Xuanyuan's strength was unfathomable and impossible to resist. If he rashly went forward, he would definitely be swept away by the opponent's palm. Therefore, he took a different approach and set his sights on Yun Yun's son, intending to use Yun Xi to threaten Xiao Xuanyuan and force him to submit.

That's why we're seeing this scene!

"I'm giving you a chance to live. Either release the child immediately, or die right now. Choose one!"

Upon seeing such a stubborn old fellow who couldn't see the situation clearly, Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

In his mind, he hated people who dared to threaten him the most, and if he encountered such a person, he would definitely kill him if given the chance.

Don't bother trying to reason with him about morality or ethics; even the Emperor himself wouldn't be of any use. Even parents, siblings, or other relatives and friends—if they threaten his relationship with Nangong Wan, he'll eliminate them without hesitation! There's absolutely no room for negotiation!

Don't think you're something just because I'm giving you face. You're not stupid at all! That's Xiao Xuanyuan's principle in doing things!

"Ha! How ridiculous! You've got the roles reversed. It's me threatening you, not you threatening me!" Elder Li grabbed three-year-old Yunxi and flew to a distance of several dozen feet from Xiao Xuanyuan. He stood in mid-air, grinning maliciously as he grabbed Yunxi's neck and slowly raised her above his head.

Under his actions, Xiao Yunxi could no longer cry. Her face gradually turned pale, one of her tongues was sticking out, and she began to have difficulty breathing.

"Release him or not? If you don't release the old sect leader, I'll kill this bastard right now!" Elder Li's voice was fierce, his eyes flashing with ferocity as he stared intently at Xiao Xuanyuan, meeting his gaze from afar.

"Xuanyuan, please save Yunxi! That's our child! He's my only child. If he dies, I won't live either!" Yunyun cried even harder, grabbing Xiao Xuanyuan's collar and pleading desperately.

"Fine, you've got guts. I'll return Yunshan to you; you hand over your child to us." Seeing his son struggling to breathe and his face growing increasingly pale, Xiao Xuanyuan felt as if his heart was being torn apart. In the end, he could only nod with a flickering gaze. There was no other way. Yunshan's life was indeed worthless, but if his child were to die here, even destroying the entire Yunlan Sect wouldn't be enough to make up for it.

Therefore, Xiao Xuanyuan, a powerful expert at the peak of the seventh-level Dou Zun realm and a peerless genius, had no choice but to nod in agreement!

"Hmph, do you think I'm stupid? Once you rescue this bastard, with your heaven-defying strength, who among us from the Yunlan Sect here will be your match?! At that time, we'll probably still be at your mercy, becoming fish on a chopping block under your blade!"

Elder Li was not stupid; on the contrary, he was extremely clever. Otherwise, he would not have thought of this strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" and "throwing a stone at a rat for fear of breaking the vase," thus threatening Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Then what do you want!"

Xiao Xuanyuan had already sent a telepathic message to Hai Bodong, the Ice Emperor, and Jia Xingtian, the old man in hemp robe, who were secretly sneaking behind Elder Li. The two of them were currently concealing their auras and quietly arrived not far behind Elder Li.

"I'll tell you to release our old sect leader immediately, and then I'll settle accounts with you!" As he spoke, Elder Li slightly increased the force in his palm, and Xiao Yunxi's face turned slightly ashen, looking like she was about to die.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan no longer hesitated. He formed a hand seal and struck Yunshan. Then, with a wave of his hand, he flung him toward Elder Li. Almost simultaneously, he gave a wink to Ice Emperor Hai Bodong and the Punishing Angel, who were not far behind Elder Li, signaling them to act at the same time.

Boom!

Seeing Yunshan fly towards him like a stone, Elder Li instinctively reached out to catch it. At that moment, two figures behind him moved, turning into two afterimages and instantly appearing behind Elder Li. With a sudden and unexpected move, they struck him with a palm and a fist, startling Elder Li, whose face changed drastically. He hurriedly turned around, and his hand that was holding Xiao Yunxi instinctively tried to tighten its grip and strangle him.

However, while he moved quickly, Xiao Xuanyuan moved even faster. In an instant, the golden and silver angel wings on his back unfolded, transforming into a streak of light. Almost in a flash, he arrived in front of Elder Li, grabbing his wrist that was holding Xiao Yunxi and stopping him from continuing to torment Xiao Yunxi.

Kacha!

After a crisp, clear sound, Elder Li let out a heart-wrenching scream as Xiao Xuanyuan snapped his wrist bones. His hand drooped limply, and Xiao Yunxi immediately fell to the ground, whereupon Xiao Xuanyuan reached out and caught her in his arms.

With a flap of his golden and silver angel wings, Xiao Xuanyuan turned away from Elder Li, shouting to Ice Emperor Hai Bodong and the old man in hemp robe, "Don't kill this old guy! Just capture him!"

At this moment, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian nodded slightly, quickly withdrew some of their power, and struck Elder Li with a palm and a fist, causing him to be seriously injured and cough up blood. He flew towards the ground in front of him and crashed hard into the extremely hard bluestone ground, shattering into a cloud of dust.

After returning to his original position, Xiao Xuanyuan released his soul perception to check the child's aura. He found that the child still had a pulse, so he immediately raised his palm and sent his battle qi into his son's body, which entered his heart and continuously awakened his life force.

"Yunxi, my child!"

At this moment, Yun Yun's originally elegant and noble face turned panicked. She rushed to Xiao Xuanyuan's side and anxiously checked on Xiao Yunxi's condition. Seeing that Xiao Yunxi was motionless and pale and weak, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes and streamed down her face.

"Yunxi, please don't let anything happen to you, Mother doesn't want anything to happen to you."

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan naturally knew that she might have misunderstood, and quickly reassured her, "He still has a pulse, he's alright. I'm currently reviving his heartbeat, and he'll wake up soon!"

"She's not dead, hehe, she's not dead, little Yunxi is not dead, that's wonderful!" Yunyun couldn't help but cry tears of joy, wiping her face, which was flushed red.

Sure enough, before long, under the nourishment and awakening of Xiao Xuanyuan's powerful battle qi, Xiao Yunxi's complexion gradually turned rosy. With a muffled "waa," she burst into loud sobs, "Waaah, Mother! I want my Mother!"

"Mother is here! Mother is here!"

Yun Yun felt a pang in her heart and quickly reached out to snatch little Yun Xi from Xiao Xuanyuan's arms, holding her close. She soothed her gently, tears of joy streaming down her face, "Yun Xi, Mother is here. Mother is right in front of you. Be good, Mother will never leave you."

Hearing that extremely familiar voice and smelling that familiar fragrance, Xiao Yunxi finally returned to his mother Yunyun's arms after being separated for more than a month. He felt much more at ease. He stretched out his little hands and hugged Yunyun tightly, crying loudly, "Mother, Mother, waah, Yunxi missed you so much. Please don't leave me again. Yunxi never wants to be separated from you again."

"Yes, your father is back. From now on, your mother and father will never be separated from you again." By this time, Yun Yun's mindset had stabilized and she looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with a gentle expression before continuing to coax little Yunxi in her arms.

Looking at the deep bond between the mother and daughter, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but rub his nose. It seemed he had become invisible now, but that was fine too, at least the family of three was reunited.

Everyone was astonished by the ever-changing scenes on the main square. Finally, when Xiao Xuanyuan successfully rescued Xiao Yunxi, most of the guests breathed a sigh of relief. It was utterly inhumane and heartless for the Yunlan Sect to use a two- or three-year-old child as a pretext.

"Just now, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it!" At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan's figure had already rushed to the location of Elder Li. He stomped hard on Elder Li's other arm, making a series of cracking sounds. After Elder Li, who had been unconscious, woke up in pain, he screamed in agony as he crushed the bones of his arm into pieces.

Still not satisfied, Xiao Xuanyuan kicked him again, breaking his arm that had already been broken.

Finally, it was his legs that were completely destroyed under Xiao Xuanyuan's vicious gaze. The bones were shattered from top to bottom. In the end, Xiao Xuanyuan stepped on his dantian, destroying his strength as a four-star Dou Huang!

Even so, Xiao Xuanyuan did not kill him.

"This is just the beginning. You'll have a long road ahead of you." Xiao Xuanyuan said hatefully, and then stomped on his mouth again, breaking his perfectly good old teeth. Then Xiao Xuanyuan took out a fourth-grade pill from his storage ring and flicked it into his mouth, making him swallow it along with all the broken teeth, thus saving the old man's life.

"I am magnanimous enough not to kill you, but you will spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair!"

After doing all this, Xiao Xuanyuan gave him one last cold look before walking back to Yun Yun's side. He placed his hand on her fragrant shoulder and continuously poured his vast and powerful battle qi into her, releasing the various restrictions that had been binding her strength in her dantian beneath Yunshan Mountain.

"Old bastard, what else do you want to say?" Xiao Xuanyuan drew his palm towards the distance, and Yun Shan's body, whose strength was suppressed, flew towards him. Xiao Xuanyuan tightly gripped his neck. It really is true that fortunes change every thirty years. Before, it was this old guy who placed a restriction on Yun Yun's body, but now it's his turn!

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, please don't kill me. This marriage with Guhe can be canceled, and Yunyun can marry you too. Please don't kill me!" Feeling that his breathing was becoming more and more difficult and that less and less air could enter his throat, Yunshan made his last dying struggle.

"Xuanyuan, please don't kill my master. After all, he raised me from childhood and gave me all of this!" Seeing that Yunshan's face had gradually turned pale and then ashen, Yunyun's beautiful eyes softened. She flew forward with her son, Xiao Yunxi, in her arms and pleaded with Xiao Xuanyuan.

"No, he hurt you, almost forced you to marry Guhe, and also harmed our child. This matter cannot be let go. I must make him pay the price!"

Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes flashed with a fierce and violent light as he stared menacingly at Yunshan, who was about to suffocate. He increased the force in his palm, as if he was about to sever the other's life with a single blow.

But after Yun Yun put Xiao Yunxi down on the ground, she immediately hugged him tightly, her snow-white arms embracing Xiao Xuanyuan, and pleaded, "Please, I'm begging you, don't kill my master. I've been raising Yunxi for so many years, and I've never asked you for anything. Can't you just grant me this one request, Xuanyuan?"

When Xuanyuan uttered his last cry, Yunyun was filled with extreme sorrow, her face deathly pale and miserable. She was in such a terrible predicament, caught between her master, who had raised her like a parent, and her man—she was caught between a rock and a hard place! She was in so much pain!

Finally, Xiao Xuanyuan slowly closed his eyes, and with his palm, he slammed Yunshan onto the bluestone ground beside him. For three years, he had indeed wronged Yunyun a lot, leaving her to raise the child alone and live a lonely and miserable life. Now that she was begging him so strongly, then Yunshan still could not be killed!

Having narrowly escaped death, Yunshan lay on the ground, panting heavily. Just moments before, he had been incredibly close to death, feeling waves of icy death looming over his heart. Then, a ray of warm light transformed into sunshine, allowing him to escape the chilling embrace of death.

Seeing that Xiao Xuanyuan had let go and Yunshan had survived, Yun Yun looked at him with gratitude, feeling deeply moved. This man was not so bloodthirsty and ruthless after all; he hadn't sacrificed her mentor here for the sake of so-called hatred.

Xiao Xuanyuan held Yun Yun tightly in his arms, letting her feel his extreme care. He said softly to this pitiful woman, "With me here from now on, no one can bully you, including the Yunlan Sect!"

As he said this, Xiao Xuanyuan's hands moved, forming a series of hand seals that transformed into a massive soul restriction, which he then imprinted onto the cloud-covered mountain below.

At this moment, Yunshan had regained consciousness. He saw the purple soul seal approaching from above. Tong Kong shrank, his expression changing drastically. However, his strength was now sealed, leaving him no choice but to watch helplessly as the soul seal was completely imprinted on his body!

Boom!

Yunshan felt a loud bang in his soul, and the world spun around him. A purple soul seal had been completely imprinted deep within his soul, becoming an indelible mark that had become one with his soul.

"Wraith Restriction, activate!"

Xiao Xuanyuan shouted at Yunshan and cast a magic seal. Instantly, Yunshan felt a tearing pain in his soul. Countless ants were biting and gnawing at his soul as if they were drilling into his heart. The pain made his face turn as pale as paper, and he clenched his teeth.

"Ah!" But in the end, even as he was drenched in sweat, he couldn't help but scream in extreme pain. His miserable howl echoed throughout the entire square, making everyone who heard it feel a chill run down their spines and a sense of icy coldness rise in their hearts.

"That's too ruthless!"

"Yunshan has been placed under a soul restriction. His life and death are now entirely in the hands of that young man. The title of Yunlan Sect as the strongest in the empire is about to change hands!"

"Old Sect Master! Damn it, that guy is deliberately torturing you, making you wish you were dead!"

On the main square, the guests and many Yunlan Sect disciples were also discussing the matter. Compared to the guests' gloating expressions as if watching a show, everyone from the Yunlan Sect was quite different. They all gritted their teeth and stared at Xiao Xuanyuan's figure with extreme resentment and unwillingness.

Yun Yun was also drawn by Yun Shan's agonizing screams and turned to look. She saw Yun Shan writhing on the ground, screaming and rolling in agony, his veins bulging. His face contorted in pain, she immediately understood what was happening. Her beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Xuan Yuan with a pleading and questioning gaze, "Xuan Yuan, you..."

Xiao Xuanyuan understood her meaning immediately. He patted Yun Yun to comfort her, then turned fiercely to Yun Shan and said without any politeness, "Yun Shan, remember this: today, because Yun'er pleaded for you, I will spare your dog's life for the time being."

He paused, then changed the subject, continuing, "However, you may escape death, but you cannot escape punishment. The matter of you forcing my wife to marry Dan Wang Gu He and almost harming my son will not be so easily forgiven. Now I have placed a Ghostly Restriction on you. If you disobey me in the future and still attempt to harm Yun'er, my child, or my relatives, I can take your dog's life and shatter your soul with just a thought!"

"Alright, now you'd better get back to work. From now on, I'll be in charge of the Yunlan Sect!" With that, Xiao Xuanyuan reached out and stopped the activation of the Ghostly Restriction on Yunshan's body. He also took back a portion of the restriction that was holding him back, leaving him to deal with a whole bunch of trivial matters after this incident.

The grand wedding of the Yunlan Sect has now been completely ruined by Xiao Xuanyuan. As for the arrangements for the guests, Xiao Xuanyuan does not want to get too involved, so we can only leave it to the Yunlan Sect to resolve!

Furthermore, by controlling Yunshan with the Ghostly Restriction, he effectively gained control of the entire Yunlan Sect. From now on, the Yunlan Sect would be under his command.

"Rogue Dragon!"

"Grandpa Aolong"

After dealing with these troublesome matters, Xiao Xuanyuan called out to the distant sky and mountains. The magnificent, golden dragon, thousands of feet long and always showing off, flew over and slowly descended from the sky. Its extremely powerful demonic aura made everyone present tremble slightly.

Not to brag, but this guy is a genuine ninth-tier low-level magical beast, which is equivalent to a Dou Sheng powerhouse. For the so-called strongest people in the Jia Ma Empire, who are only Dou Huang level powerhouses, killing them is like crushing ants. They are completely insignificant figures, so why would it care about these ants?

Once the rogue dragon reached mid-air, Instructor Ruolin leaped down from its back and landed beside Xiao Xuanyuan. Her expression was somewhat complicated, but she extended her hand in a very friendly gesture to greet Yun Yun, saying, "Hello, my name is Ruolin. I am Xuanyuan's teacher and also his lover."

After Xiao Xuanyuan's abduction of the bride, his reputation spread throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire, and even reached neighboring countries thanks to the distinguished guests from the Chu Yun Empire and the Tian She Kingdom, where he made a name for himself!

Therefore, the infamy that Xiao Yan had previously brought shame to the Xiao family of Wutan City was completely swept away like autumn leaves. At the same time, the Xiao family of Wutan City also rose to prominence in the Jia Ma Empire because of Xiao Xuanyuan's existence, becoming renowned and already the number one family and the number one power in the Jia Ma Empire!

I still remember that after the incident of the forced marriage, the royal family of the Gama Empire, the Mittel family, the Nalan family, the Mu family and other super powers all came to visit me.

Xiao Xuanyuan naturally showed great respect to these forces, summoning them all. After all, he had already slept with the two precious granddaughters of the Jia Ma Empire's royal family, Princess Yaoye and Princess Xiaoyue, as well as Consort Ya from the Mittel family. Now that their families had come knocking on his door, he couldn't very well refuse to see them. He even had to meet Nalan Jie, the head of the Nalan family, since he intended to take Nalan Yanran as his wife. He had to give his father-in-law some face.

As for the Mu family, there are only a few powerful families in the Jia Ma Empire, and we've already met them all, so one more won't make a difference.

"Having not seen him for two years, my grandson-in-law has grown even more youthful and dashing, full of vigor and spirit! Haha!"

Upon meeting, Jia Xingtian stepped forward, laughing heartily as he embraced Xiao Xuanyuan. Xiao Xuanyuan, unperturbed, returned the embrace with a hearty hug, saying, "That's right, that's right, Grandpa Jia looks even younger."

Ice Emperor Hai Bodong also smiled, "Young Xiao, Ya Fei has been waiting for you at home for a long time. When do you have time to go home and visit? Ya Fei's granddaughter has already given birth to a precious son for you."

"Really? That's wonderful news! I'll definitely go back to visit when I have time." Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't stop smiling. Now that he has more and more women, his children will gradually increase. When such a good thing happens, the more the merrier! Anyway, he has plenty of fire in his body. He can afford to raise a bunch of big, fat boys and cute girls!

Only Nalan Jie, the head of the Nalan family, and Mu Zhan, the head of the Mu family, were smiling awkwardly, looking at Jia Xingtian and Binghuang Hai Bodong with extremely envious eyes. Only these two old guys had such good luck, with their granddaughters getting together with Xiao Xuanyuan, a son-in-law of a dragon, and their status in the Jia Ma Empire would rise accordingly, completely solidifying their position and making them unshakable by anyone.

As for their own two families, Nalan Jie and Mu Zhan exchanged a knowing glance, a hint of gloom flashing in their eyes. If they didn't have the protection of a super strong person, their status in the Jia Ma Empire would probably decline further and further, and they would be completely crushed and surpassed by the Jia Ma Empire's royal family and the Mittel family!

What should they do? Both of them had already started to consider their options!

Suddenly, Nalan Jie remembered what he had said in public in the square before, asking Nalan Yanran to be his foot-washing maid. Since he had said that, it proved that Yanran was promising. In an instant, Nalan Jie's eyes brightened considerably, and he began to think about how to send his precious daughter to Xiao Xuanyuan as a concubine.

Even if it means becoming a concubine, as long as she can latch onto Xiao Xuanyuan, this soaring dragon, it would be infinitely better than the current situation of the Nalan family. Nalan Jie has no choice but to scheme and plot.

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Huaxia Alliance Proposes to Queen Medusa

Inside the hall, Nalan Jie and Mu Zhan could only sit aside with puzzled expressions, waiting to watch Xiao Xuanyuan, Jia Xingtian, and Binghuang Haibodong reminisce. After the three exchanged pleasantries, they finally took their seats.

At this moment, a disciple of the Yunlan Sect came to report that Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild, had come to request an audience.
