Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 139 Yun Yun's Change (Part 2, please subscribe)

"Bam—!"

The contest between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran was about to begin. The shadows of rulers and swords crisscrossed the arena. Although the two were only at the level of Great Dou Master, the strength they displayed would probably make even some Dou Ling experts feel ashamed.

After all, the cultivation techniques, combat skills, and weapons of the two were far superior to those of independent cultivators or small sects.

"Ice Emperor, I thought you died at the hands of Queen Medusa..." Jia Xingtian said with a smile as he looked at the distant waves of the sea.

"If you're not dead, how could I be?"

Hai Bodong rolled his eyes in annoyance.

However, when Jia Xingtian mentioned that Queen, even the Ice Emperor, who was once famous throughout the Jia Ma Empire, couldn't help but shudder. He muttered something under his breath with lingering fear.

Seeing his fearful and apprehensive expression, Jia Xingtian chuckled.

"Old man, do you know something? Something seems off about the atmosphere today!" Hai Bodong suddenly said with a serious expression.

In fact, from the moment he stepped into Yunlan Mountain, he had already sensed the change in atmosphere. The thick black clouds seemed to be hiding a storm!

Especially when he saw the army stationed at the foot of Yunlan Mountain, he felt that something was wrong. If it was just a simple contest between peers, how could it have caused such a commotion?

"You're quite perceptive. If you want to protect that little guy in the arena, then be prepared. Today, Yunlan Sect is destined to face turmoil."

Jia Xingtian sighed.
Then, he opened and closed his mouth slightly to secretly transmit his voice to Hai Bodong. Upon hearing his words, a look of horror flashed in Hai Bodong's eyes, and then he nodded solemnly.

...

At the foot of Yunlan Sect Mountain,

The long spears, gleaming with a cold light, formed massive square formations like a steel jungle. Knights, as black as steel, stood in ranks, and countless war machines were parked at the foot of the mountain. Countless crimson banners fluttered in the air. This was the empire's most elite force, bringing endless terror and death to its enemies.

Ahead of them,
She was a female general riding on the back of a jet-black unicorn. Her figure was tall and heroic, like a snow plum tree standing proudly in the wind and frost.

She gently stroked the unicorn's neck; its magnificent armor and crimson cloak gleamed coldly in the sunlight, contrasting beautifully with the unicorn's glossy black fur.

The man and his horse seemed to be the most dazzling sight on the field, making the surrounding knights feel a sense of security and admiration.

"Your Highness, the army has been fully mobilized!"

A knight spoke up from a distance.

Yao Ye nodded slightly upon hearing this, then looked up at the Cloud Mist Mountain and said:

"Pass down the order: the Divine Crossbow Army will be the vanguard, and the soldiers should be ready to assemble into battle formation at any time." Her voice was steady and powerful, exuding an unquestionable authority.

……

at the same time,

On the other side of the back mountain of Yunlan Sect, in a large hall on the cliff.

Yunshan closed his eyes slightly and sat expressionlessly on the throne. Although the old sect leader of Yunlan Sect had long since turned white, he still looked young. Time seemed to have left no trace on his face, and one could still see his youthful vigor.

"crunch-"

The sound of the main hall doors being pushed open rang out.
A slender, resolute figure slowly entered the main hall, bathed in the dim light. Although her face was obscured by the dim light, her sword-wielding posture and slightly murderous aura clearly indicated her purpose.

Yunshan, who had been keeping his eyes slightly closed, slowly opened them, a chilling glint flashing in his indifferent gaze.

"What...does this mean?"

Gazing at the familiar figure approaching with a sword below, Yunshan remained silent for a long time before slowly asking a question.

This was his most beloved and cherished disciple, whom he had personally nurtured since childhood. Their relationship was like that of father and daughter. But now... she seemed to be determined to come with a sword, blocking the entrance to the main hall.

"I have recently learned a new sword technique, and I would like to ask my master for guidance..." Yun Yun lowered her eyes slightly, her voice was soft, but it carried a hint of determination.

Yunshan quietly gazed at the silent Yunyun below. He could sense the unease deep within her heart. The fact that she was standing here now must have come after a long struggle.

"The recent unusual activities of the Gama royal family were also orchestrated by you, weren't they? Are you... plotting a rebellion?" Yunshan asked in a low voice.

"I dare not, but I don't want my master to go astray, so I dared to give it a try." Yun Yun raised her head, her clear eyes filled with complex emotions.

Upon hearing this, Yunshan stood up slowly without expression, a powerful aura emanating from him, as if it would crush the entire hall.

“You are only a seven-star Dou Huang now, barely reaching the level of a high-level Dou Huang. Even if I haven’t crossed that step yet, I am still considered a half-step Dou Zong. Do you think you can stop me?” Yun Shan said.

How will you know if you don't try...?

Yun Yun sighed deeply.

As she finished speaking, she slowly drew the Azure Phoenix Sword from its sheath. The sword trembled slightly, emitting a faint hum, and its blade gleamed with a cold light, streaking across the night sky like a shooting star in the dimly lit hall.

As the Azure Phoenix Sword was drawn, a sharp sword aura instantly spread out, seemingly freezing the air in the hall.

Yunshan sensed the sharp sword intent rising from her body, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You've changed a lot since you came back from your trips. In the past six months, you've carried out sweeping reforms to the sect's affairs. Are you purging the court of corrupt officials? You've made quite a stir. You've even cleaned up the elders' council, including Yun Ling. Such swift and decisive methods are not like your usual style."

Yunshan's eyes flickered slightly.

He knew the nature of this disciple whom he had raised all too well. Yun Yun used to seem aloof and indifferent, but in reality... her heart was softer than anyone else's. That kind of indifference to worldly affairs that seeped into her bones, without the slightest bit of competitiveness, meant she was not born to be a sect leader.

However, this gentle disciple, who had always been submissive and compliant, now dared to draw her sword against her master…

Yun Yun was slightly taken aback when she heard his words. Perhaps it was because she had been with him for a long time and had gradually picked up some of his habits. She still vividly remembered the scene where he had transformed into a queen and governed the vast desert.

"I'm very curious, who... made you make such a change?" Yunshan asked. He felt a little gratified, but also a little uneasy. After all, no one would feel good having their disciple point a sword at them.

of course,

Perhaps out of a father's perspective, what he cared about most was who was the person who had caused his disciple to change so much.

Canaan College

In the magma world at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower
Xiao Yue glanced at the two invisible snakes, one large and one small, beside her, and couldn't help but ask Venerable Tianhuo in the distance, "Old man, how long have you been in this underground magma world?"

"It must have been several hundred years ago..."

"Back then, relying on his skills, he thought he could go anywhere in the world. So after subduing the Fallen Heart Flame, he did not leave. Instead, he curiously ventured into this magma world, but unexpectedly he was ambushed and died here."

Venerable Tianhuo stroked his beard, his leisurely tone tinged with a hint of regret, as if he were remorseful for his recklessness back then.

"But what about those fire lizards underground?" Xiao Yue asked.

"It seems you've already encountered them." Hearing Xiao Yue say this, Venerable Tianhuo was somewhat surprised.

Xiao Yue nodded slightly and said, "We encountered a group of them on the way here. Although they weren't very strong, they were numerous."

Although those fire lizards were not very intelligent, they were quite ferocious. It took her a lot of effort to deal with a large number of them before she followed the Fallen Heart Flame to this small space.

"Those fire lizardmen are the original creatures here, distributed in the form of tribes. Among the large tribes, there are many super strong people who can rival the Dou Zun experts," Venerable Tianhuo said with lingering fear.

Xiao Yue frowned slightly upon hearing this. She had thought that the strongest member of the fire lizard clan was at most a Dou Huang level, but after hearing what Venerable Tianhuo said, it seemed that there were quite a few fire lizards at the Dou Zun level among them.

“Hundreds of years ago, I encountered a lizard race expert at the Dou Zun level. If I were at my peak, I certainly wouldn’t have been afraid of it, but unfortunately, I was already seriously injured at the time, and after that great battle, I was not long for life,” Venerable Tianhuo continued.

"Fortunately, I temporarily created a small space before my death as my final resting place. Those powerful lizardmen did not understand the power of space, so they could never find this place, and my remains survived. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't be able to see me now," Venerable Heavenly Fire said with a wry smile.

Xiao Yue nodded upon hearing this, and after chatting for a while, the two decided to leave this underground world. There were too many unknowns down there, and a wise person would not stand under a dangerous wall, so she did not plan to stay any longer.

"Please take my remains with you as well, as they may be useful when I am resurrected in the future," Venerable Heavenly Fire requested.

Xiao Yue naturally wouldn't refuse Heavenly Fire Venerable's small request. With a wave of her hand, she sealed Heavenly Fire Venerable's soul into a Soul Nourishing Jade Tablet, and stored it along with his remains into her storage ring.

Xiao Yue then returned the way she came.

"Elder Xiao, you're finally back."

Seeing Xiao Yue return from the underground world unharmed, Su Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"There's another nascent strange fire below, so the Grand Elder won't have to worry about strange fire riots anymore..." With that, Xiao Yue tossed the nascent Fallen Heart Flame to Su Qian.

Upon seeing this, a look of joy immediately appeared in Su Qian's eyes. This nascent form's Fallen Heart Flame was of little use to Xiao Yue, but it was a godsend for Canaan Academy!
Unlike the adult Fallen Heart Flame that has evolved to the point of being almost demonic, this juvenile form of strange flame is more likely to develop a bond with Canaan Academy in the future! There won't be any worries about occasional riots like with the previous one.

Sooner or later, the nascent strange fire will be able to evolve its own intelligence, just like a child, no different from ordinary people. If a symbiotic relationship is continuously established with it, the nascent strange fire will inevitably regard Canaan Academy, which has been nurturing it, as its own home and protect it. In this way, Canaan Academy will have an extra super guardian of an alien in the future!
Thinking of all the benefits to Canaan Academy, Su Qian felt a surge of excitement.

"If the Grand Elder has no objections, I will take that Fallen Heart Flame myself." Xiao Yue said with a smile when she saw his unusual excitement.

"That's natural!"

Su Qian nodded.

That thing is like a time bomb if it stays in the academy; it could explode any day now. If he weren't worried that the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower would lose its function, he would be happy if someone took it away!

It's a good opportunity to do Xiao Yue a favor now, considering her astonishing alchemy skills. This deal seems very profitable no matter how you look at it.

Actually, Xiao Yue didn't intend to refine these strange flames herself. After all, she didn't cultivate the Burning Technique, so these strange flames weren't very useful to her. She just collected them for her younger brother as a favor.

Moreover, as her martial arts cultivation increased, the power of her own Five-Colored Divine Flame also grew stronger and stronger. In terms of potential, it was no less than that of a strange fire. Her performance last time was even more amazing. That Five-Colored Divine Furnace directly refined Han Feng's physical body, which was protected by the Sea Heart Flame.

"By the way, how are the medicinal herbs that I asked the Grand Elder to collect the other day coming along?" Xiao Yue asked.

Upon hearing this, Su Qian's smile widened, and he said, "I have almost finished collecting them according to Elder Xiao's requirements. I will go and fetch them now."

After saying that, the space fluctuated and Su Qian disappeared from the spot. A short while later, he returned with a storage ring full of spiritual herbs.

Xiao Yue took the storage ring and scanned it with her divine sense. She saw that it contained a wide variety of spiritual herbs, all of which were rare and of high quality, and she couldn't help but nod slightly, quite satisfied with the efficiency of Canaan Academy. This ancient academy was very rich in both connections and resources.

Especially since the last time, I'm now willing to take out things that I used to be reluctant to do.

"Thank you very much, Elder." Xiao Yue put away the storage ring and said to Su Qian.

Su Qian waved his hand and said, "Elder Xiao, you flatter me. If it weren't for your help, Canaan Academy would probably have suffered a great disaster. These spiritual herbs are just a token of my gratitude."

Xiao Yue smiled and didn't say much. Even if she hadn't taken action last time, Canaan Academy wouldn't have suffered any harm. The waters of this academy are not ordinary. No one knows how many old monsters are hidden in its entanglements. Just as Su Qian said, Han Feng was indeed a bit ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth to dare to come to Canaan Academy to cause trouble.

"My lord, something has happened to the Xiao family!"

A faint female voice suddenly came from the depths of his soul; it was the voice of the crescent moon!

Xiao Yue frowned slightly. Can Yue usually wouldn't contact her on her own initiative because the cost of such long-distance communication was too high. She began to read Can Yue's recent memories.

"The Soul Palace again?"

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yue's bloodshot eyes.
Anyway, she had collected all the materials needed to perfectly revive Bei Ming Xiaomeng, Venerable Tianhuo, and Old Man Yao, so she might as well make a bigger scene.
