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

Chapter 143 Xiao Yan: We must expel them all, leaving not a single one alive! (Two chapters combined, please subscribe)

The battle that took place at the Yunlan Sect outside the capital city quickly came to an end.

In just a few days, the news spread like wildfire to every corner of the Gama Empire, causing a huge uproar throughout the entire empire.

After all, the terrifying spectacle caused by that earth-shattering battle was simply too astonishing!
On the day of the incident,

The millions of residents in the capital city looked up at the vast expanse of black mist and clouds covering Yunlan Mountain, and were all filled with fear and panic, causing quite a disturbance.

Even those tens of kilometers away could clearly feel the aftershocks of the battle between the Dou Zong powerhouses, not to mention that even the 100,000 elite troops of the empire stationed at the foot of the mountain had been mobilized.

However, specific details have been blocked by all parties.

The outside world only heard that there had been internal changes within the Yunlan Sect, and then the royal family took action. As for the matter of the Soul Palace protectors' invasion, Xiao Yue ordered all parties to keep the news confidential.

Although she didn't know exactly what the Soul Hall wanted from the Xiao family, her intuition told her that it was best not to let the Soul Hall headquarters know about this information!

She didn't expect the information to remain blocked indefinitely; in any case, such information blocking wasn't a bad thing, and the later the other party found out, the better.

...

...

Wutan City - Xiao Family Mansion.

At this time, the Xiao family suffered heavy losses due to the attack by the Soul Palace a few days ago, with many members of the Xiao family dying tragically. Now, the huge mansion is covered with white mourning cloths, and is shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

When Xiao Yan returned and saw this scene, he gritted his teeth, barely able to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Sooner or later, I will drive them all out of the Northwest Continent, leaving not a single one alive!"

The boy in black clenched his fists in anger.

Although he had learned of the Xiao family's misfortune from his sister beforehand, he was still filled with resentment after witnessing the heavy atmosphere in the mansion. If it weren't for Xiao Yue's split soul descending in time that day, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

The Soul Palace deserves to die!
"Is Yan'er back?"

Upon learning of Xiao Yan's return, the couple rushed over to visit him.

Seeing their youngest son return safely, the couple breathed a sigh of relief. However, noticing that Xiao Yue hadn't returned, Xiao's mother couldn't help but ask, "Where's your sister? Didn't she come back with you?"

"My elder sister used a secret technique to enhance her strength and is currently in seclusion at Yunlan Mountain to recuperate." Although he didn't want his parents to worry, the young man still told them the truth.

Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao indeed began to worry. She gripped her youngest son's hand tightly, her eyes filled with concern: "Then your sister... will she be alright?"

Xiao Yan gently patted his mother's hand and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. You know how strong my sister is. She'll be fine."

However, despite saying that, Xiao Yan himself had some doubts and worries in his heart.

After all, he had heard that Xiao Yue had used a secret technique to summon a soul from thousands of miles away, and then rushed to Yunlan Sect without stopping to suppress Protector Ao with lightning speed. Although she herself did not say much, the difficulty and effort involved were unimaginable.

"Father, have you been having health problems lately? And how come your cultivation level has also increased to Dou Wang..." Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.

The faint trace of death lingering between Xiao's father's brows did not escape the boy's soul perception.

Upon hearing the question, Mr. Xiao's face froze slightly, and the smile he had shown when his youngest son returned slowly faded. He remained silent, while Mrs. Xiao, standing beside him, couldn't help but cover her face and weep.

"Judging from this, your father must have taken the Life-Devouring Pill... Although that thing can make a person become a Dou Wang powerhouse in a very short time, it is all obtained by overdrawing life and potential. People who take this pill will not live for more than three years." Yao Chen said this in the ring.

"Teacher, is there any way to break this Life-Devouring Pill?" Xiao Yan asked with some eagerness and anticipation.

"As long as your father's cultivation level is raised to the Dou Huang realm within three years, then there's nothing to worry about regarding the side effects of the Life Devouring Pill," Yao Chen said.

Xiao Yan fell silent upon hearing this.

Breaking through from the Dou Wang realm to the Dou Huang realm within three years? That might not be too difficult for some monstrous geniuses, but his father's talent wasn't exactly outstanding!

Moreover, after taking the Life-Devouring Pill, he had already exhausted his life potential and original energy to break through to the Dou Wang level in an instant. How could he possibly break through to the Dou Huang level within three years!

"Your father's lifespan can be temporarily extended by ten years by taking the sixth-grade 'Azure Longevity Pill.' As long as he breaks through to the Dou Huang realm within these ten years, he will be worry-free," Yao Chen added.

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Father, Mother, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to solve the problem of the Life-Devouring Pill." Xiao Yan held the two elders' hands tightly, his eyes shining with determination.

Seeing their youngest son's determination, the couple felt a little more at ease.

“By the way, Father, we can now make all the necessary preparations,” Xiao Yan said.

"What preparations are you making?"

Mr. Xiao was somewhat puzzled.

"With the relocation of our residence, our Xiao family can return to the capital in the future!" Xiao Yan said.

Although Xiao Yan's father never said it, he knew that this was one of his father's greatest wishes.

Upon hearing this, the couple seemed to be in a dream, and for a moment they were stunned.

……

……

……

Half a month later,

At this moment, in a cave within the Yunlan Sect, Xiao Yue slowly opened her eyes. Her blood-red eyes shone with divine light in the void. After replenishing her lost vital energy, her cultivation improved even further.

Xiao Yue flicked her finger and released a thin wisp of soul from the visualization diagram.

"If you kill me, the Soul Palace will not let you off!" Protector Ao's eyes were still fierce as he looked at Xiao Yue. Even though he was now in her hands, his tone was still quite fierce.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you for now. There are still many things I want to know from you..." Xiao Yue said calmly.

As she spoke, she reached out her hand.

Upon seeing this, a sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the protector, who immediately prepared to make some underhanded moves.

Seeing Ao's actions, Xiao Yue flicked her finger, and several strange flames suddenly appeared in her palm, which she then shot directly at Ao.

"what--!"

As soon as several strange flames touched Ao's soul, thick white smoke and hissing sounds suddenly emerged from the latter's body. Immediately afterward, a piercing scream that seemed to cut to the bone resounded from his mouth.

"I only want to ask a few questions. As long as you tell the truth, I will not kill you," Xiao Yue said calmly.

She did not resort to direct soul searching, as the memories retrieved that way are usually fragmented and incomplete. She would interrogate the person first before considering soul searching.

"What do you want to ask?"

Despite the pain, Protector Ao asked.

"Tell me, what do you want from the Xiao family?" Xiao Yue asked softly as she sat down in the chair.

"Hmph, what Xiao family? If you know what's good for you, you'd better release me now, otherwise... ugh—!"

Before it could finish speaking, the surrounding strange fire suddenly contracted, finally adhering to its soul body. The intense heat caused its body to hiss continuously, and its shrill screams rang out once again.

After scorching for about half a minute, the strange fire slowly receded, leaving behind an extremely weak soul.

Xiao Yue glanced coldly at Protector Ao, her voice calm as she said, "This is not the answer I want. Don't think I dare not kill you. Before you, two protectors have already died at my hands. They were more sensible than you, at least they escaped torture before they died." "You...bastard, ah—! I'll talk! I'll talk! Spare me!" Protector Ao had just uttered a curse when the temperature of the invisible flames suddenly increased, and in excruciating pain, it hurriedly begged for mercy.

Upon hearing its voice, the tightly coiled flames slowly expanded, revealing its listless soul.

"Tuoshe Ancient Jade!"

Ao the Protector's soul trembled slightly, and finally he said dejectedly.

Xiao Yue frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Her Xiao family has this kind of thing? How come I've never heard of it before? Is this guy trying to fool her?

"Ugh—!"

The screams continued, and Protector Ao cried out urgently, "It's true! I'm telling the truth!"

"As for whether the Xiao family has that thing, I don't know! I only discovered that you are descendants of the Xiao clan by chance, which is why I started investigating you!"

"A descendant of the Xiao clan?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue's blood-red eyes narrowed slightly; she keenly grasped the meaning of that word.

After that, Protector Ao began to pour out all the information at once, not daring to lie in the slightest.

Hearing its story, Xiao Yue remained silent in her chair for a long time.

She never imagined that the Xiao family had such a tremendous background.

Ancient imperial clans!

It turns out that the Xiao family was once one of the eight ancient imperial clans. No wonder Xun'er, as a daughter of an imperial clan, was arranged by her father to live in the Xiao family from a young age...

Many things that Xiao Yue couldn't understand before were now quickly connected by clues, and she gradually figured some things out.

"One last question: who in the Soul Palace knows anything about the Xiao family now?" Xiao Yue asked, voicing a question that was of great concern to her.

"Currently, only I and a few Soul Envoys know that they intended to keep all the credit for themselves, so they did not report it to the elders of the branch hall," said Protector Ao.

According to his plan, the Tuoshe Ancient Jade, which could have been foolproof, would then be used to harvest the soul of the Medicine Venerable in Xiao Yan's body. It would be a double blessing, and he would surely be richly rewarded when he returned!

Unfortunately... things didn't go as planned!

"Where is the Soul Palace's branch in the Northwest Continent?" Xiao Yue continued to ask.

"The branch hall is extremely far from the Jia Ma Empire, located in the Tianxin Empire at the junction of the Central Continent and the Northwest Continent. It's a place called Tianzangjian! As far as I know, besides the hall master, there are several Dou Zun-level elders in the branch hall!" Protector Ao spoke rapidly.

"The Heavenly Heart Empire... Heavenly Burial Gorge?"

Xiao Yue murmured softly.

She did know about the so-called Heavenly Heart Empire in the Northwest Continent, but she wasn't sure whether there was a Heavenly Burial Ravine within that empire.

"I've confessed everything now, can I exchange it for my life?" Protector Ao asked cautiously.

Xiao Yue glanced at it coldly, then suddenly clenched her fist. Instantly, the other's soul began to twist and scream. She began to search its soul, verifying the truth of its words based on the fragmented memories.

After a long time,

Xiao Yue threw the other party's inhuman soul into the visualization diagram to refine it. She then stood up and left the secret chamber in the cave.

At this moment, the spatial wormhole tunnel in the sky above Yunlan Sect had gradually collapsed and dissipated. After all, it was only temporarily built, and it could only be used once or twice at most.

Elder Su Qian and Elder Qian Bai couldn't stay in Yunlan Sect forever, so they left before the space tunnel collapsed. As for the pills Xiao Yue promised, they weren't too worried.

Anyway, Xiao Yue will definitely need them in the future, so she will naturally continue to invite them.

...

...

"How's the recovery going?"

Yunyun, who was outside the cave, stepped forward and asked.

Looking at the beautiful woman in a moon-white dress before her, Xiao Yue's originally cold gaze softened somewhat.

"You've recovered well, and your strength has improved even more. At least now you can easily subdue one of you," Xiao Yue said with a light laugh.

Yun Yun was speechless upon hearing this.

Who flaunts their improved strength so openly? Thinking about it carefully, from the moment we met until now, the silver-haired guy in front of me seems to have always used her as a standard to measure his strength.

"Thank you for your help this time. I was a bit inconsiderate. I only wanted to correct my master's ideas and reform and clean up the Yunlan Sect, but I didn't expect that the Soul Hall Protector would appear directly at the three-year agreement between Yanran and Xiao Yan." Yun Yun seemed a little guilty.

"It's not your fault, it was after Xiao Yan and Yao Chen anyway," Xiao Yue said, shaking her head.

Hearing her say that, Yunyun still felt a little resentful. She was always like this, feeling that everything was caused by herself, and always subconsciously looking for all kinds of shortcomings and flaws in herself.

Although Xiao Yue knew that this was just her personality, she didn't say much. This mentality was already deeply ingrained in her, and if she wanted to change it, there would be a long time to come and she would have to take it slowly.

"Humph!"

At this time,

Queen Medusa snorted coldly, and then, leading a little girl in purple, she passed by Xiao Yue and Yun Yun.

"Why go?"

Xiao Yue tilted her head and asked a question.

"Sister Medusa is going to take me to the holy city of the Snake People in the Tagor Desert. She has Transformation Grass in her treasure vault, and she'll ask you to refine Transformation Pills for me then." Zi Yan seemed a little afraid of Xiao Yue, and she waved her little hands as she explained in a clear voice.

Queen Medusa seemed to feel a strange emotion rising within her upon seeing Xiao Yue and Yun Yun together. This emotion made her slightly irritated, and her voice became much colder.

"gone!"

The words fell,

Queen Medusa then led Zi Yan away from the Yunlan Sect.

"Does Her Majesty the Queen still harbor hostility towards me?" Yun Yun pondered.

Although she was somewhat confused, her woman's intuition always allowed her to sense the subtle hostility and wariness in Her Majesty's eyes.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yue smiled slightly. This Queen hadn't gone back earlier or later, but chose to check on her condition right after she came out of seclusion before leaving with Zi Yan.

That level of arrogance... is really quite something.

Afterwards, Xiao Yue and Yun Yun strolled side by side through the Yunlan Sect. The stone path meandered, with ancient trees towering on both sides, casting dappled light and shadow through the branches and leaves.

At this moment, Xiao Yue's silver hair flowed freely, and her bloodshot eyes revealed a calm and aloof demeanor, while Yun Yun wore a plain white dress, looking like a fairy descending to earth, pure and ethereal. The two did not have any extra chatter, and the atmosphere was quiet and natural.

far away,

A girl with waist-length pink hair was hiding behind the shadows of a tree, secretly watching this scene.

Her face was pretty, and her eyes sparkled with curiosity and envy. Seeing her master and Sister Xiao Yue getting along so intimately, she couldn't help but feel a longing in her heart, as if she also wanted to join that warm atmosphere.
