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

After scaring away those who had ulterior motives, Xiao Yue led the girl for a stroll on the street for a while before continuing on their way. Soon they arrived at the Starfall Pavilion's branch in the small town.

As a behemoth in Zhongzhou, the Starfall Pavilion naturally has branches all over the entire region. Therefore, even in remote towns like this, there are branches of the Starfall Pavilion.

However, these branches are naturally incomparable to those in major cities, both in terms of strength and scale.

Even so, there are still some powerful individuals in charge of this branch. After all, the reputation of the Starfall Pavilion is not one that anyone would dare to provoke easily.

After inquiring around at the branch, Xiao Yue obtained some information about the extremely yang and intense land. Although it was incomplete, it gave her some clues.

"Ye City, the Ancient Altar of Blazing Sun".

Xiao Yue looked thoughtfully at the information she had obtained from the Starfall Pavilion.

This so-called Ye City is not far from the small town we are currently in. It belongs to the territory of the Central State Pill Domain and is an affiliated city of the Pill Tower. The Blazing Sun Ancient Altar is a very famous spiritual place in Ye City. Its altar has the effect of increasing the success rate of pill refining, and it is of great benefit to those who cultivate fire attribute techniques.

The Blazing Sun Ancient Altar is now occupied by a family of alchemists from the Pill Tower. After all, given that the altar can increase the success rate of alchemy, no alchemist would not be tempted, especially since alchemists also cultivate fire-attribute techniques.

"Sister Xiao Yue, are you going to Ye City? That's the territory of the Pill Tower." The girl, holding Xiao Yue's hand, tilted her head and asked with some curiosity.

"Yes, I plan to go and take a look at the Blazing Sun Ancient Altar. I could do the Ye family a favor, but I don't know if it meets the requirements," Xiao Yue nodded slightly and said.

Xiao Xun'er had no doubt about Xiao Yue's confidence, after all, his strength was undeniable, and even in the entire Central Continent, it would be difficult to find an opponent.

Therefore, when she heard that Xiao Yue planned to go to Ye City, the girl nodded obediently, then took Xiao Yue's arm, and the two walked out of the Starfall Pavilion branch together.

……

Without delay, after settling everything, Xiao Yue took the still unconscious Little Fairy Doctor and Xun'er, along with Feng Qing'er as their mode of transport, and rode the massive body of the seventh-tier Heavenly Demon Phoenix towards the direction of Ye City.

"Sister's new mount is quite nice."

On the magnificent, multicolored phoenix feathers, Xun'er stroked the soft feathers of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix with her slender fingers, and said with some curiosity.

Although the ancient clan was stronger than the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, this was the first time the girl had ridden a Heavenly Phoenix Clan member as her mount, since as an imperial clan, they rarely contacted the outside world.

"If Xun'er wants some, I'll catch a few for you to use for your carriage later," Xiao Yue teased.

Faced with the conversation between the two people on her body, who directly regarded the Phoenix Clan as their mount, Feng Qing'er naturally wanted to refute it, but sadly, she could only pretend to be deaf and dumb at this moment, pretending that she was really a bird that could not speak, and obediently flapping her colorful phoenix feathers under Xiao Yue.

As they drew closer, the commotion coming from the direction of Ye City became clearer and clearer, and faintly, some angry shouts could be heard.

"Something seems off..."

Hearing the commotion, Xiao Yue frowned slightly and muttered to herself.

With the perception of her Heavenly Realm soul, she could naturally sense that the clamor contained a great deal of anger and killing intent.

"What's wrong, Sister Xiao Yue?" Xun'er asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It seems the Ye family is in some trouble. Let's go down and take a look."

Xiao Yue chuckled, then waved her jade hand, and the enormous body of the Rainbow Winged Phoenix slowly descended a little before landing on an empty street.

When Feng Qing'er landed, some pedestrians on the street were also startled. When they saw the huge body of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, they were immediately shocked and quickly retreated, afraid of provoking this powerful person who did not look like a kind person.

Xiao Yue paid no attention to the fearful looks around her, and casually pulled a passerby over to ask about Ye Cheng's current situation.

"You may not know this, but Ye City has been quite turbulent lately..." A middle-aged man who looked rather shrewd said respectfully to Xiao Yue.

"Oh, how do you say this?"

Xiao Yue raised an eyebrow and asked calmly.

"My lord, you may not know this, but recently, people from the Black Sun Sect suddenly arrived in Ye City for some unknown reason. Then, relying on their overwhelming strength, they forcibly forced the Ye family to hand over the Blazing Sun Ancient Altar. There are rumors that the Ye family is going to war with the Black Sun Sect." The middle-aged man said honestly. He could tell that Xiao Yue and the others were not simple, so he dared not hide anything.

"Black Sun Sect?"

A hint of amusement flashed across Xiao Yue's eyes; she hadn't expected to encounter someone from the Black Sun Sect here.

This is understandable, as the territory of the Black Sun Sect is not far from Ye City, where the Ye family is located. As the saying goes, "two tigers cannot share one mountain," and there are quite a few grudges between the two.

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Yue led Xiao Xun'er toward the Ye family. As for what the middle-aged man had said, she didn't care too much. After all, with her current strength, those guys from the Black Sun Sect were really not worth her attention.

The girl beside him frowned slightly upon hearing the words "Black Sun Sect," clearly showing her dislike for these people.

As a local power in Ye City, the Ye family's mansion was naturally located in the center of Ye City. Therefore, Xiao Yue and her two companions did not spend too much time before arriving at the area where the Ye family was located.

The Ye family, as the rulers of this city, occupy the most central area. Within a kilometer radius, the Ye family manor is located, and ordinary people are forbidden from entering. The defenses within are exceptionally tight, though this is only apparent to ordinary people.
……

"I will absolutely not marry that bastard Cao Dan!"

now,

Inside the Ye family's council hall, an argument was taking place. A woman dressed in blue was speaking angrily, her delicate face now filled with rage.

"Nonsense!"

Inside the council hall, an old man in blue robes frowned and said, “You know the current situation of the family. The Cao family is one of the five great families of the Pill Tower, and it is a perfect match for my Ye family. Moreover, Cao Dan is a rare alchemy genius in the Cao family. Marrying him will not only save the Ye family from the crisis of being removed from the five great families, but also find you a good family.”

"Even if I were to marry Cao Dan, do you think that would solve the crisis? The Cao family is ambitious and has now joined forces with the Black Sun Sect. They have long wanted to erode my Ye family. Doing so would only be like sending a lamb to the slaughter!" the woman in blue said angrily.

Her words made the old man in blue pause, and then he said in a deep voice, "That won't do. Then tell me what can be done?"

"When did my Ye family ever need to resolve a crisis through a marriage alliance?" Some people in the hall also opposed the marriage alliance.

"The people of the Black Sun Sect have some nerve! How dare they so blatantly pressure our Ye family? Aren't they afraid of retaliation from the Pill Tower?!" one of the Ye family's experts roared angrily.

"Hey, isn't it obvious? The Black Sun Sect is backed by the Cao family of the Pill Tower. Given the decline of the Ye family in recent years, it's impossible to expect the giants of the Pill Tower to uphold justice."

The hall was already in a noisy and chaotic state. Meanwhile, outside the Ye family mansion, it was secretly surrounded by a large number of Black Sun Sect members. Cold, sinister gazes shot out from the eyes of these Black Sun Sect members and locked onto the Ye family mansion.

At the gate of the Ye family mansion, some powerful members of the Ye family were also on high alert, their eyes filled with anger and killing intent. Clearly, they were extremely dissatisfied with the Black Sun Sect's actions.

"Gentlemen, have you come to any conclusions? Either you agree to a marriage alliance with the Cao family's young master, or you hand over the Blazing Sun Ancient Altar. You should all think this through!" A black-robed man from the Black Sun Sect said with a sinister smile.

"you!"

Upon hearing the words of the man in black robes, the Ye family's expert was immediately enraged and was about to make a move, but was held back by the people beside him.

"Don't be impulsive. The Black Sun Sect is incredibly powerful; we are no match for them. Let's wait for the Ancestor to return before making any decisions," someone said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, the Ye family expert forcibly suppressed his anger, then let out a heavy snort and retreated back into the Ye family mansion.

The Black Sun Sect members were completely unfazed by the anger of the Ye family, remaining arrogant and aloof as if they were truly the masters of Ye City.

The Ye family of today is no longer as glorious as it once was. However, as the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what, it is still an affiliate of the Pill Tower. The Blazing Sun Ancient Altar is quite famous in the Central Plains, making countless forces envious. The Black Sun Sect used to be reluctant to take it by force, but now that the Cao family is backing it up, it has naturally become arrogant.

……

At this moment, in the sky above the Ye family's residence.

Xiao Yue and the girl remained hidden in the sky, silently observing the farce below. They were both Dou Zun level experts, while the Black Sun Sect and Ye family members below were at most eight-star Dou Zong, so naturally they couldn't detect them.

"Sister Xiao Yue, that Black Sun Sect seems to have ill intentions," Xun'er said softly.

“Xun’er misspoke. Actually, we are the ones who came here,” Xiao Yue said with a smile.

The girl was taken aback by what she heard, then couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand and chuckle, "That makes sense, they are the local bullies."

Xiao Yue didn't pay too much attention to the disputes below, since they were irrelevant to her purpose in coming to the Ye family.

The main reason she came here was to see if the Blazing Sun Ancient Altar met her requirements. As for the feud between the Ye family and the Black Sun Sect, she had no interest in getting involved.

Of course, if the Ye family knew what was good for them, she wouldn't mind helping them get rid of this trouble, since she still had some impression of the cute girl in blue and glasses from the Ye family.

If she remembered correctly, the girl's name was Ye Xinlan. She was her student at Canaan Academy and also Xun'er's junior. Although her talent was not top-notch, she was diligent and eager to learn, which made her quite appreciative of her.

Moreover, Xiao Yue remembered that when she was refining pills at Canaan Academy, this cute girl with blue hair and glasses was frantically taking notes below, and Xiao Yue had even given her some pointers.

Thinking this, Xiao Yue couldn't help but glance at the blue-haired woman a few more times. The latter was currently arguing angrily with the Ye family members, clearly extremely dissatisfied with the family's decision.

"It seems the Ye family has fallen on hard times; they're even resorting to this kind of marriage alliance," Xiao Yue sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Xun'er frowned slightly, clearly displeased with the matter.

"However, this also gives us an opportunity to make a move," Xiao Yue said calmly, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Her words were not unfounded. She said them because she saw the current predicament of the Ye family and Ye Xinlan's dissatisfaction with the family.

If she could lend a helping hand at this time, she could not only resolve the Ye family's crisis, but also take this opportunity to use the so-called Blazing Sun Ancient Altar. For her, this would undoubtedly be a worthwhile deal.

Moreover, she was confident enough to resolve the problem of the Black Sun Sect.

With this in mind, Xiao Yue decided to observe secretly for a while before making any plans.

Just as she was about to continue observing, the gate of the Ye family mansion was suddenly pushed open, and a blue figure strode out.

This woman was the blue-haired woman who had argued with the Ye family earlier; she was Ye Xinlan.

At this moment, her face was somewhat pale, clearly exhausted from the earlier argument with her family.

However, her gaze was unusually firm, clearly indicating that she had no intention of giving up.

"Hmph, you bunch of bastards, I will never let you succeed!" Ye Xinlan said sweetly, then stomped her foot and turned to leave.

She planned to leave the Ye family to find outside help that could help them overcome the crisis.

However, the Ye family would not allow her to run away at this time. Immediately, two powerful members of the Ye family stepped forward and blocked Ye Xinlan's way.

“Seventh Miss, if you leave like this, what will become of the family?” one of them said in a deep voice.

“Yes, Miss Seven, please don’t be so willful. You know the current situation of the family. We have no other choice but to form a marriage alliance with the Cao family,” another person advised.

"Marriage alliance? What's wrong with your brains? The Cao family and the Black Sun Sect are from the same hill. Can't you see what they're up to?!"

"If marriage can solve the problem, then what's the point of having Dou Zong level experts!" the blue-haired, bespectacled woman said sweetly.

Upon hearing this, the two powerful members of the Ye family couldn't help but frown. They knew that Ye Xinlan was telling the truth, but they were helpless because the Ye family's situation was indeed somewhat worrying.

“Miss Xinlan, we’re doing this for your own good. If you really don’t want to, then we’ll have no choice but to force you,” one of them said coldly.

As he spoke, he was about to subdue Ye Xinlan.

However, just as he made a move, a clear, cold shout suddenly rang out in the sky.

"stop…"

As soon as the voice fell, the girl in purple floated down from the sky and appeared beside Ye Xinlan.

The sudden turn of events startled the two powerful members of the Ye family.

The one who took action was naturally Xiao Xun'er. Perhaps because the elders in the ancient clan always talked about her marriage, she now... couldn't stand anything about arranged marriages or political alliances.

Just like Nalan Yanran in the past, only when such a thing happens to you can you truly understand the malice involved.
