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

Chapter 171 Lion Nether Sect (Two chapters combined, please subscribe)

time flies,
Not long after Xiao Yue began instructing Nalan Yanran, the grand gathering of sects in the Northwest Continent was held as scheduled in the Heavenly Serpent Empire!

Ten Thousand Serpent Gorge is located in the northern part of the central Tian She Empire in the northwest region! It is known for its treacherous terrain, with towering mountains and deep valleys, and is often shrouded in clouds and mist, giving it a mysterious and unpredictable feel.

At this moment, the Ten Thousand Snake Gorge was bustling with noise and excitement, with millions of people below.

All the powerful empires that dominate the Northwest Continent have gathered here, and the number of empires participating in the grand event alone is probably over a hundred!
A true battle for supremacy among a hundred nations.

Meanwhile, among the many empires below the Ten Thousand Serpent Gorge, the camps were clearly divided, each with its own flag flying high. The empires were also clearly distinguished by their overall strength and location.

Powerful empires, such as the Heavenly Serpent Empire and the Lion Nether Empire, naturally occupied the most prominent high ground, with their flags flying high and their momentum unstoppable.

Those empires with slightly weaker strength on the high platform could only occupy relatively peripheral positions. Although they had a large number of people, their presence was rather weak.

As the host of this grand sect gathering, the Heavenly Serpent Empire's camp was naturally located at the highest point of Ten Thousand Serpent Gorge, atop a majestic platform in the very center.

"A high platform without a seat? Why is there an extra platform this year? In previous years there were always four!" someone whispered.

"Could this newly added top position be given to the Gama Empire?" someone speculated.

"It should be, those flags are clearly the symbols of the Gama Empire!"

"Has the Heavenly Serpent Mansion gone mad? Or is this a deliberate arrangement?"

Based on the current situation in the Northwest Continent, there should only be four top overlords on the highest platform: the Heavenly Serpent Empire, the Lion Nether Empire, the Ice and Snow Empire, and the Thunder Empire.

However, to everyone's surprise, there was an unfamiliar location on the highest platform, with flags fluttering, but few people recognized it!

This undoubtedly caused quite a stir.

"As the host of this grand event, they've actually given us such high-level treatment! Doesn't this mean that the Heavenly Serpent Palace is indirectly acknowledging the current status of the Jia Ma Empire in the Northwest Continent?"

Many imperial leaders were filled with doubt and uncertainty about this.

It should be noted that in the past, even if the Gama Empire was invited to participate, it would only be in a peripheral position at most, and could only be considered a minor empire, far from being comparable to the four hegemons.

Moreover, for nearly a thousand years, the Northwest Continent has been dominated by four great empires, making it a unique entity. The fact that the Jia Ma Empire has achieved a status equal to the four overlords is indeed beyond the expectations of many people!
However, since the Heavenly Serpent Palace, as the host, had already made such an arrangement, the other empires, even if they harbored resentment, could only accept it.

However, some well-informed imperial leaders secretly sighed, such as those from countries surrounding the Gama Empire. They knew that the Gama Empire had indeed risen rapidly in recent years, especially with the mysterious Silver Moon Fairy, who had greatly increased the Gama Empire's strength!

Over time,
The factions of the major central empires on the high platform also entered one after another.

First to arrive were the people from the Lion Nether Empire, led by a rather burly and imposing middle-aged man with blond hair. The group was positioned on the left side of the Heavenly Serpent Empire's camp, exuding an imposing aura that gave off a strong sense of oppression.

Next are the Ice and Snow Empire and the Thunder Empire, located to the right and rear of the Heavenly Serpent Empire, respectively. Although they are not as powerful as the Heavenly Serpent Empire and the Lion Nether Empire, they still possess considerable strength.

Following these four empires is the newly added Gama Empire.

When Xiao Yue led the group from the Jia Ma Empire slowly onto the highest platform, a commotion immediately broke out below.

"Is that silver-haired woman the current de facto ruler of the Gama Empire? She certainly has an extraordinary presence; even the Gama royal family has to yield their position to her!"

"I heard that the Jia Ma Empire also has a Dou Zun expert in charge. I wonder if the news is true or false." As Xiao Yue and her group entered, the discussions below became more and more intense.

On the other side of the highest platform, the leaders of the other three great empires also had different expressions.

Although the leaders of the Thunder Empire and the Ice and Snow Empire, who were sitting on the high platform, frowned slightly, they did not say much.

After all, they also knew that the Gama Empire had indeed risen rapidly in recent years and its strength was not to be underestimated.

Moreover, the Gama Empire's participation in this grand event was clearly well-prepared; they did not want to offend this newly rising young overlord at this time.

However, the leaders of the Lion Nether Empire had rather gloomy expressions. After all, they were originally one of the most powerful empires in the Northwest Continent, but in recent years their influence had been gradually overtaken by the Gama Empire. Now, the Heavenly Serpent Empire had so ostentatiously elevated them to high positions, which naturally made the people of the Lion Nether Empire very unhappy.

The leader of the Lion Nether Empire, a burly, blond middle-aged man, glanced at the Gama Empire's camp, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"I have long heard that the Jia Ma Empire has risen rapidly in recent years, and even a Dou Zun powerhouse has appeared. It is truly a cause for celebration..." The Lion Nether Sect Master, who was sitting on one of the five high platforms, said calmly.

At this point, the Lion Nether Sect Master deliberately paused, then changed the subject, saying with a hint of sarcasm, "However, this Dou Zun expert is probably a bit overrated. After all, I've heard that the Jia Ma Empire has had a hard time producing even a Dou Zong in recent years, hehe..."

Although his voice was calm, it subtly carried the power of his cultivation, causing his mocking tone to echo throughout the entire Ten Thousand Snake Gorge.

As soon as the Lion Nether Sect Master finished speaking, the entire Ten Thousand Serpent Gorge fell into silence.

Millions of attendees from various countries across the Northwest Continent poured into the Grand Canyon, all turning their gazes toward the silver-haired woman atop the high platform of the Gama Empire. They all wanted to see how this young ruler of the Gama Empire would respond to the Lion Nether Sect Master's mockery.

"That big oaf's words were so irritating," Zi Yan muttered, somewhat dissatisfied.

Yao Ye and Jia Xingtian, along with other members of the royal family who were accompanying them, could only manage a wry smile.

It's not surprising that Lion Heaven, the sect leader of the Lion Nether Sect, was dissatisfied with this. After all, the balance of power in the Northwest Continent had been maintained for hundreds of thousands of years. Now, the unknown Gama Empire was about to become a dominant force in the Northwest Continent, which would undoubtedly break the existing balance!
"If you're not convinced, then let's settle this in the ring later."

Xiao Yue's voice, though not loud, clearly reached the ears of everyone present. It was a cool and calm tone, like a melting glacier on a snow-capped mountain, gentle yet carrying an undeniable power.

At this moment, she sat high on the throne, her silver hair fluttering in the wind, her blood-red eyes calmly sweeping over the Lion Nether Sect Master, her whole body exuding an aura of dominance over the world.

So crazy!

Upon hearing her words, everyone was stunned, which immediately caused an uproar.

Upon hearing this, Shi Tian's expression immediately darkened. As the sect leader of the Lion Nether Sect, he was a powerful figure in the Northwest Continent. He had never been so openly provoked before, especially by someone so young.

"Hmph, what a sharp-tongued junior! Let me advise you, young man, not to be so arrogant. I hope your strength will match your words in the end!" Lion Sky said coldly, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Xiao Yue ignored Shi Tian's cold words, merely glancing at him indifferently before looking away. "Everyone, please calm down."

At this moment, a middle-aged man sitting on the high throne of the Heavenly Serpent Empire spoke. He had a heroic face, black hair, clear eyes, a tall and imposing figure, and an extraordinary aura, clearly someone who had long held a high position.

These words immediately silenced the previously noisy venue once again, as the fact that the person was sitting in that position was enough to demonstrate their status.

Master of the Heavenly Serpent Palace—Xu Zhenkong!

He was a peak Dou Zong level expert in the Northwest Continent. In the strongest battle of that sect tournament twenty years ago, he defeated the Lion Nether Sect Master, who was also a peak Dou Zong, in just over a hundred rounds!

He is widely recognized as the strongest in the Northwest Continent. With no Dou Zun level expert appearing, almost no one dares to challenge him!
The opponent has a high reputation in the Northwest Continent. As early as twenty years ago, he was hailed as one of the strongest people in the Northwest Continent with the best chance of entering the Dou Zun level. Now he is ranked at the top of the Dou Zong level in the Northwest Continent!
"It is a great honor for our Heavenly Serpent Empire that you have come from afar!"

"Today, our Heavenly Serpent Palace is holding a grand sect gathering here, aiming to promote the exchange and development of various forces in the Northwest Continent. The Jia Ma Empire, as an emerging force in our Northwest Continent, has performed outstandingly in recent years and its strength should not be underestimated."

"Therefore, the Heavenly Serpent Palace has decided to grant the Jia Ma Empire the same status as the four overlords of the Northwest Continent, to jointly celebrate this grand event!" The Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace continued in a loud voice, which was like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, spreading throughout the Ten Thousand Serpent Gorge and instantly suppressing the noisy sounds.

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar again.

Xu Zhenkong's move is clearly an endorsement of the Jia Ma Empire!
"It is an honor for my Heavenly Serpent Empire to have the Silver Moon Fairy invited to this grand event," Xu Zhenkong said with a smile. His gaze lingered on Xiao Yue for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Although he had never personally witnessed the silver-haired woman's strength, he had heard some rumors about her and knew that she was no ordinary person.

Moreover, judging from the faint aura emanating from the other party, it seems that they are hiding an even deeper foundation.

"You flatter me, Lord Xu."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue nodded to the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace. Although she didn't care about such empty titles, she naturally had to accept the favor since the other party had given her face.

distance,

Upon hearing this, both the Ice and Snow Empress on the high throne of the Ice and Snow Empire and the Thunder Sect Master of the Thunder Empire had a strange look in their eyes. It was rare to see Xu Zhen stand so firmly on their side!

However, Lion Heaven, sitting on the high platform of the Lion Nether Empire, had a gloomy expression.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Shi Tian glanced at the large crowd with a gloomy look in his eyes, then a strange and eerie smile appeared on his lips before he returned to his calm state.

...

"You all seem to be getting a little impatient, so I won't waste any more words. Now, the sect gathering will officially begin!"

As the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire Ten Thousand Serpent Gorge gradually became more enthusiastic.

The leaders of the various empires began to exchange ideas, while the young geniuses of those empires were eager to show their skills in the upcoming competition.

As the highlight of this sect gathering, the competition among the younger generation of powerful figures from various forces is naturally indispensable. This is not only a contest of strength, but also a battle for honor.

In the following time, the Ten Thousand Serpent Gorge was bustling with activity as young powerhouses from various empires took to the stage to spar, filling the entire arena with an intense atmosphere of battle.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was noon.

at this time,

The battles among the younger generation in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes have reached a fever pitch.

The young powerhouses of the various empires displayed their strongest abilities, and for a moment, the entire arena was filled with dazzling battle aura and deafening roars.

-

"This Ten Thousand Snake Gorge seems rather strange."

On the high platform,
Bei Ming Xiaomeng seemed to sense something; she had a vague feeling of unease, so she frowned and reminded Xiao Yue beside her.

Xiao Yue nodded upon hearing this, and then she slowly shifted her gaze to the direction of the Lion Nether Empire. The strange feeling that Bei Ming Xiaomeng sensed most likely came from there.

"That Lion King has an extremely sinister aura about him, he's definitely not just a peak Dou Zong, we need to be careful!"

At this moment, the Iron Sword Venerable, who had been holding his sword and resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes. His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he opened and closed them. As a Dou Zun-level super sword cultivator who had been famous in the Central Continent for a long time, his perception was naturally extremely sharp.

Xiao Yue pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

Then she whispered a few words into Zi Yan's ear, who was bored beside her.

"give it to me!"

After listening closely, Zi Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice. She was always restless and naturally couldn't wait to find something to do.

"Xian'er, you go with Ziyan."

Xiao Yue was worried about the little girl going alone, so she gave a few instructions to Little Fairy Doctor who was not far away.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor nodded, and then the two figures, one large and one small, vanished from the spot in a flash.

"Yaoye, you and Elder Jia should also make some arrangements. This sect gathering is probably not so simple." Xiao Yue then said a few more words to Yaoye, Jia Xingtian, and the other members of the royal family.

Knowing the gravity of the matter, Jia Xingtian and the others dared not disobey Xiao Yue's orders and temporarily left the observation platform to begin a series of arrangements.

"Yanran is still in the arena below. Will she be alright?" Yun Yun couldn't help but worry.

Xiao Yue gently comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, this is just a competition among the younger generation. They won't make a move so quickly. Most likely, they'll only make a move when the older generation takes the stage."

Yun Yun nodded slightly upon hearing this, then looked down.

The arena for the younger generation is roughly divided into four major regions: east, south, west, and north. Nalan Yanran's luck was clearly not very good. In just her second match, she encountered the young master of the Lion Nether Sect, Lion Xuan!
