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

Time passed slowly, and ten days went by in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Ye residence, there was a quiet courtyard adorned with many flowers, and a gentle breeze carried their delicate fragrance.

In the quiet courtyard stood a jade pavilion. Inside, two stunningly beautiful young women sat serenely. Before them was a chessboard, and occasionally, the crisp sound of chess pieces falling onto the board could be heard.

If Xiao Yue were here, she would surely be surprised by this scene. These two girls, who had been somewhat at odds since they first met, were now sitting quietly together playing chess, which was truly unbelievable.

"Little Fairy Doctor, I often heard Sister Xiao Yue mention you back in Canaan Academy. You are kind and gentle, and I heard that you were her favorite student..." With a slender hand, Xiao Xun'er gently placed a white jade-like chess piece down. She raised her bright eyes and smiled at the seemingly delicate snow-haired girl with gray-purple eyes opposite her.

The little fairy doctor's slender hand, which was fiddling with the chess pieces in the chess box, paused slightly, a hint of emotion flickering in her eyes, and she said:
"Sister Xun'er is joking. Actually, you are Sister Xiao Yue's favorite student."

As she spoke, Little Fairy Doctor raised her eyes slightly and gazed at the girl in the purple dress in front of her. How could she not hear the probing meaning in Xun'er's words? Although the other party was not a simple person, was she a simple person? Her mind was naturally sharp, but she usually didn't like to show it when she was with Xiao Yue.

Xiao Xun'er smiled lightly, her bright crescent-shaped eyes crinkling in a noncommittal manner.

Time passed slowly in this tranquility. Little Fairy Doctor could clearly sense that the girl in front of her was indeed somewhat indifferent to her, and a strange emotion rose in her heart.

The purple-clad girl from the Central Plains Imperial Clan seemed to harbor a strange hostility and indifference towards her, which made Little Fairy Doctor feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, she didn't think much of it. After all, she wasn't familiar with the girl in the purple dress, and it was normal for the girl to be hostile towards her.

Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's ambiguous expression, Xun'er paused slightly, glanced at her with a meaningful look in her beautiful eyes, and said softly, "I wonder when Sister Xiao Yue will emerge from seclusion..."

"It should be soon."

The Fairy Doctor slowly placed a piece on the chessboard with her slender hand, her beautiful eyes with purple-gray pupils staring directly at Xun'er. Her gentle voice carried a hint of defiance.

The atmosphere between the two women was a little awkward, which made Feng Qing'er feel embarrassed, and she stood silently to the side, not daring to speak.

The hidden danger of Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body had been resolved three days ago, and the Blazing Sun Ancient Altar, due to the stimulation of Xun'er's Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, had made the extremely yang and intense qi of heaven and earth within it even more concentrated.

Therefore, Xiao Yue is still in seclusion inside the ancient altar, where she intends to cultivate using the intense energy of the blazing sun.

"Om-!"

At this time,

From above the Ye residence, faint spatial fluctuations swept in.

When Xun'er noticed, Xiao Yixian also turned her head away. Since her poison body was perfected, both women now have the strength of a Dou Zun, so they are naturally the ones who can sense the fluctuations between heaven and earth.

Little Fairy Doctor frowned and asked, "Is it Ice River Valley, Heavenly Demon Phoenix? Or Soul Palace?"

She knew that her older sister had made many enemies in Zhongzhou. Ice River Valley, Soul Palace, and Heavenly Demon Phoenix were all opponents worth noting. Only Wind and Thunder Pavilion was not taken seriously by Little Fairy Doctor, who was now a Dou Zun powerhouse after perfecting her Calamity Poison Body. Therefore, she didn't even bother to mention it.

"No... they are from the ancient clan, and they should be the Black Annihilation Army of my imperial clan."

The girl in the purple dress shook her head slightly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes, knowing it was time for her to go home again.

"They must have received orders from the elders of the clan. These guys are really like shadows." The girl sighed, her expression quite displeased.

The Black Annihilation Army was directly under the command of the Ancient Clan Elders, and those old fogies wished she could stay in the Ancient Realm forever.

Upon hearing Xun'er's troubles, a hint of sympathy and understanding flashed in Xiao Yixian's gray-purple eyes. As the daughter of the patriarch of the imperial clan, the burden she carried was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After a moment, Little Fairy Doctor turned her gaze slightly to the girl and said softly, "Sister Xun'er, what do you plan to do next?"

At this time,

The space above Ye Mansion fluctuated, and then two half-saint elders from the ancient clans appeared. They glanced at Ye Mansion in the distance, then looked at each other and nodded.

They did not storm into the Ye residence directly, but waited secretly in the sky above the Ye residence. As half-saint powerhouses of the ancient clan, they naturally could not personally come forward to take back the young lady's mission. They could hand it over to others. The two half-saints only needed to secretly ensure the safety of the young lady.

……

At last,
A dozen or so dark figures finally appeared in the sky above Ye City, and then the enormous four-winged unicorn slowly came to rest above the Ye family.

shhhhhh!
More than a dozen figures flashed down from the four-winged unicorn and appeared in mid-air above the courtyard where Xun'er and the others were. Their gazes swept across the courtyard and then stopped on Xun'er.

"Ling Quan, commander of the Black Annihilation Army, greets Miss!"

Leading the group was a handsome young man at the fifth level of the Dou Zong realm, dressed in a purple-black robe. When he saw Xun'er, a hint of respect flashed in his eyes. He descended from mid-air and bowed respectfully to the latter.

Xun'er frowned slightly and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Hehe, the elders were worried that Miss might get hurt outside, so they specially ordered me to come and bring Miss back to the Ancient Realm..." Lingquan said respectfully to Xun'er.

Then his gaze swept across the courtyard, and when he saw Little Fairy Doctor and Feng Qing'er, his eyes lit up slightly, but he quickly concealed it.

Upon hearing this, Xun'er's expression darkened slightly, clearly showing that she did not appreciate the "concern" of Ling Quan, the commander of the Black Annihilation Army.

She glanced coldly at Lingquan, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction and indifference: "Lingquan, I am not a three-year-old child. I know my place. I appreciate the elders' concern, but I have no intention of going back now."

Upon hearing this, Lingquan's expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected Xun'er to refuse so directly.

But as one of the commanders of the Black Annihilation Army of the ancient clan, he naturally could not give up so easily. He hesitated for a moment, then spoke again: "Miss, I dare not disobey the elders' orders. Please understand my difficulties and come back to the Ancient Realm with me."

Xun'er frowned, clearly displeased with Lingquan's persistence.

"Miss, please don't make things difficult for us. I can't possibly refuse to carry out the elders' orders, can I?" Lingquan said with a wry smile.

Seeing that Lingquan had brought up the elders, Xun'er's expression turned even more unpleasant.

“Miss, the elders are really worried this time. If the Soul Palace finds out your identity, they might do something wicked and cause chaos in the ancient clan. So the elders have given a death order: if we don’t bring you back, we will all be punished by the clan when we return.” Seeing the girl’s face darken, Lingquan hurriedly said.

Upon hearing this, the young girl frowned slightly. She had long known that the ancient clan would immediately send someone to take her back, but she did not expect it to happen so quickly.

After a moment of contemplation, Xun'er turned her gaze to the direction of the Blazing Sun Ancient Altar. The girl parted her red lips and slowly said, "I will say goodbye to Sister Xiao Yue when she comes out of seclusion."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Lingquan's eyes, and she quickly replied respectfully, "Yes, Miss!"

He was naturally delighted with Xun'er's decision. As long as Xun'er was willing to go back with him, he would have completed his mission. As for when to set off, that was not important.

So, Lingquan waited respectfully beside Xun'er, not uttering another word, for fear of displeasing the young lady again. While waiting, Lingquan's gaze occasionally drifted to Xiao Yixian, who was playing chess with Xiao Xun'er, and Feng Qing'er, who was standing silently in the distance, secretly guessing the identities of the two women.

As the commander of the Black Annihilation Army of the ancient clan, he had naturally seen many powerful figures in the Central Plains, but he couldn't quite understand these two young girls.

Especially the frail-looking girl with gray hair and purple eyes, whose aura was faintly unsettling, made him feel uneasy. She was clearly a Dou Zun powerhouse, whose strength was definitely above his.

The silent woman, who resembled a phoenix, though possessing a somewhat sparse and aloof demeanor, was likely at the same Dou Zong level as him. While she was far inferior to him, who was a five-star Dou Zong, she was definitely not to be underestimated.

Who exactly are these two girls? How could they be so close to Miss Xun'er? Lingquan wondered to himself, but he didn't ask rashly.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck him, as if he had thought of something.

Recently, two rumors have been making headlines in Zhongzhou. One is that Princess Feng Qing'er of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan has been taken as a mount by someone, and the silver-haired woman seems to be a remnant of the Xiao Clan's bloodline!
Secondly, the Calamity Poison Body appeared in Zhongzhou, attracting countless forces to fight for it. However, it was ultimately snatched by the Ice River Valley Master, Ice River Venerable. However, to everyone's surprise, Ice River Venerable not only failed to obtain the Calamity Poison Body, but was also killed on the spot by Xiao Yue, a remnant of the Xiao Clan!

These two rumors caused a huge uproar in Zhongzhou, shocking countless people.

As the commander of the Black Annihilation Army of the ancient clan, Lingquan had naturally heard of these two rumors.

At that moment, as he looked at the two girls in front of him, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Could it be that this woman, with her phoenix-like aura of decay, is the legendary Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Princess Feng Qing'er? And the snow-haired, delicate woman whom Miss Xun'er calls Little Fairy Doctor is the possessor of the Calamity Poison Body?
Thinking of this, Lingquan couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise.

If his guess is true, then the identities of these two girls are truly astonishing.

The princess of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is the apple of the eye of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, one of the top powers in the Central Continent. Her status is extremely noble. With the strength of a Dou Sheng expert in charge, even imperial clans will not easily offend her.

Those few Dou Sheng ancestors within the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan are no joke.

Perhaps Xun'er, as the daughter of an imperial family, could look down on or even ignore Feng Qing'er's identity, but Ling Quan could not!
Although Lingquan was considered a talented individual among the ancient clans, he knew his own limitations very well. As a minor commander of the Black Annihilation Army, he was currently only at the fifth level of the Dou Zong realm, and only two elders with the cultivation level of half-saint could support him in the ancient clans.

Therefore, he really had no right to look down on Princess Yaohuang, let alone take her as a mount; he wouldn't dare even if he had ten times the courage.

After all... not everyone is like Gu Xun'er, with a father who is at the peak of the Dou Sheng realm!

Let alone riding on the Demon Phoenix Princess's head, even if she grilled the Demon Phoenix and ate her, probably no one would dare to say anything. After all, in this world today, there are probably very few Dou Sheng who can withstand a slap from Gu Yuan...

The possessor of the Calamity Poison Body is someone that drives countless forces mad.

It's unbelievable that these two girls can get so close to Miss Xun'er and stay here unharmed.

However, Lingquan also knew that these were things he couldn't interfere with.

All he needs to do is complete his task and bring Miss Xun'er back to the Ancient Realm safely.

As for other matters, those will naturally be handled by the elders of the ancient clan.

So Lingquan stopped thinking about it and continued to wait quietly to the side, awaiting Xun'er's decision.

Meanwhile, Little Fairy Doctor and Feng Qing'er on the other side also noticed Ling Quan's gaze.

However, both of them were quick-witted and could naturally guess what Lingquan was thinking.

They didn't say anything, after all, their identities were extremely sensitive in Zhongzhou.

Now, Feng Qing'er has completely lost the will to resist Xiao Yue and has become a toy to be manipulated at will. She only hopes that Xiao Yue will treat her gently in the future and not train her like a demon in the past...

……

……

……

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was late at night.

Within the Blazing Sun Ancient Altar, a fluctuation suddenly emanated from the space where Xiao Yue was in seclusion.

The spatial fluctuations spread out, alarming Ling Quan and the others outside.

Their gazes turned toward the ancient altar, a hint of surprise and doubt flashing in their eyes.

"Could it be that the Xiao family member is about to emerge from seclusion?"

Lingquan's heart stirred, and he secretly guessed.

Within the ancient clan, Xiao Yue's reputation was actually quite high. Everyone knew that the once-declining Xiao clan had produced an extraordinary prodigy in recent years, and many people within the ancient clan were secretly paying attention to her.

Like other young people in the ancient clan, Lingquan was also very curious about this legendary prodigy of the Xiao clan.

"Sister Xiao Yue is about to emerge from seclusion."

Little Fairy Doctor and Gu Xun'er stood up with some joy and without prior arrangement.

At this time,

The interior of the Lieyang Ancient Altar.

Xiao Yue placed her hand on the dark stone tablet, and then her true energy surged within her body. A suction force emanated from her palm, and a series of buzzing sounds came from beneath the stone tablet, as if something was slowly awakening.

A moment later, a fiery red beam of light shot out from the eye of the earth, soaring straight into the sky, and finally exploded with a bang, turning into a blazing pillar of fire that dyed the entire sky crimson.

"This is... a pillar of fire from the Earth's core?"

Upon seeing this scene, Ye Zhong and the others exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with shock.

They never expected that the Yanghuo Ancient Altar, which had been dormant for many years, would erupt with a pillar of fire from the earth's core again today; it was like a dream.

Xiao Yue, however, was not surprised at all. She formed hand seals and began to mobilize the most yang and intense qi in the world. She had now broken through to the second stage of the Great Ascension Martial Venerable.
