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

The newcomer was an old man with one arm, dressed in a gray robe. On his chest was a badge of an elder of the Starfall Pavilion. However, the old man's face looked extremely pale, and his severed left arm was still dripping blood.

"Elder Hu, what's going on... Where is Elder Qi?"

Upon seeing the bloodied and mangled old man with the missing arm, Mu Qingluan was taken aback and immediately spoke sternly.

The old man gave a bitter laugh upon hearing this, a flash of anger in his eyes: "Elder Qi and I, following the orders of the Pavilion Master, were stationed in the Bone Mountain Range to gather the latest intelligence. This place is teeming with powerful figures, and various forces are scrambling to secure footholds, awaiting the opening of the ancient ruins. We were fortunate enough to find a mountain peak near the ruins, intending to establish a camp, but unexpectedly we encountered the Xuanming Sect..."

"Xuanming Sect?"

Xiao Yue frowned slightly; the name was not unfamiliar to her.

Even in Zhongzhou, it is a powerful force with a significant reputation. Backed by Tianming Sect, one of the two major sects in Zhongzhou, it is the head of the three major subordinate sects of Tianming Sect!

The Xuanming Sect's reputation is quite formidable, in no way inferior to the Ice River Valley, and perhaps even surpasses it, because behind the Xuanming Sect is one of the two most famous sects on the continent, the Tianming Sect.

The forces in the Central Continent are complex and intertwined. The so-called "one palace, one tower, two sects, three valleys, and four pavilions" cannot fully encompass the forces in the Central Continent. The Central Continent is vast and boundless, and there are many low-profile forces within it. Their strength is not much weaker than those forces other than the Soul Palace and the Pill Tower. In fact, some reclusive forces, such as the Ancient Clan, are not to be underestimated even by the Soul Palace and the Pill Tower.

The so-called Tianming Sect has three subordinate sects, which are also known as the Three Lower Sects on the continent, and the Xuanming Sect is the leader among them.

The power of the Xuanming Sect is in no way inferior to that of the Ice River Valley. After all, even if others don't give face to the Xuanming Sect, they still have to give face to the Tianming Sect. In the Central Plains, such an ancient sect with a history of thousands of years has a terrifying strength and foundation.

Mu Qingluan's expression became even more serious. In recent years, the Xuanming Sect, relying on the protection of the Tianming Sect and the Soul Palace, has become increasingly arrogant.

"This time, even the sect leader Chen Tiannan of the Xuanming Sect and Xie Huang of the Tianming Sect personally came to the rescue. Before we could even negotiate, we were driven away. I only lost an arm, but Elder Qi almost lost all his cultivation and became a cripple. He is currently being cared for by his disciples." Elder Hu sighed, his words full of helplessness and resentment.

As a Dou Zong powerhouse, having one arm severed will have a significant impact on his future. After all, losing the meridians of his entire right arm will put him at a significant disadvantage in both his future cultivation and the execution of some high-level fighting techniques!
Xiao Yue's gaze lingered on the one-armed old man for a moment. Seeing the wisp of black mist swirling around his wound, she narrowed her blood-red eyes slightly. Then, she took out a crystal-clear pill that emitted a faint glow from her sleeve and slowly floated it towards the old man from the air.

The surface of the pill shimmered with a delicate luster, as if it contained the secrets of life. It was the seventh-grade healing pill she always carried with her—the Rejuvenation Pill.

"Elder Hu, I am aware of the dangers of this journey. This pill can help you regenerate your severed arm. After taking it, you must calmly recuperate and not be impatient for quick results," Xiao Yue said, her words revealing an undeniable authority and concern.

Elder Hu accepted the pill with trembling hands, his eyes gleaming with disbelief.

He knew all too well how precious the Rebirth Pill was; even the major sects of the Central Continent would find it difficult to produce such a treasure easily. He looked up at Xiao Yue, his eyes slightly red, his voice choked with emotion: "Thank you... thank you so much, Court Master! I will never forget such a great kindness!"

Having said that, Elder Hu no longer hesitated and immediately swallowed the pill, closed his eyes and concentrated, guiding the medicinal power to circulate in his body.

A soft light gradually emanated from the wound, and the flesh seemed to be guided by an invisible hand, slowly growing. The broken bones also rejoined under the effect of the medicine, making a slight cracking sound.

A moment later, the light dissipated, and Elder Hu slowly opened his eyes. His originally pale face had regained some color, and his severed arm was completely healed, leaving only a faint scar as a testament to this experience.

"This...this is truly a miracle!"

Elder Hu was so excited that he could hardly contain himself, and his gratitude towards Xiao Yue was overflowing.

“The Starfall Pavilion is a member of the Soul Suppressing Court, and the elders here have devoted themselves to this cause. Naturally, I will not show favoritism. Here are some healing pills and cultivation supplies. Please take them and distribute them to the disciples,” Xiao Yue said.

Saying,

With a flick of her jade sleeve, dozens more bottles of elixirs floated out. These were all made by her in her spare time, and the Soul Suppressing Court had no shortage of elixirs!
After all, she has now incorporated all the alchemists' guilds in the entire Northwest Continent, with thousands of alchemists working overtime day and night to refine medicines, providing terrifying logistical support for the Soul Suppressing Court. In addition, with Yao Chen, the former number one alchemist on the continent, in charge, this is why the Soul Suppressing Court is developing so rapidly.

With the integration of all territories in the Northwest Continent, including the shipping routes in the Wanghai Region and the Youhai, and with such a massive amount of alchemist resources poured in, it would be difficult for the Zhenhun Court not to develop!

This is why Xiao Yue is determined to unify the Northwest Continent; it is her guarantee for future confrontations with the Soul Palace!
Seeing this, Mu Qingluan nodded in approval. Although Xingyun Pavilion had secretly submitted to them in the past, she believed that after this, many people would still be willing to submit.

Elder Hu was also quite excited when he saw this, and he accepted the pills with unprecedented enthusiasm and passion.

The old man knelt on one knee, touched his heart with his fist, and solemnly swore: "I, Hu, am willing to follow the Court Master to the death, and will go through fire and water for the Soul-Suppressing Court without hesitation!"

Xiao Yue smiled calmly and waved her hand, saying, "Elder Hu, you're too kind." Then, after a moment's thought, she said, "Let's go see Elder Qi first."

Elder Hu nodded in agreement and led the group forward. Along the way, Mu Qingluan couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Senior, the Xuanming Sect's actions are clearly a complete disregard for our dignity. If we remain indifferent, won't we become a laughingstock?"

Xiao Yue smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying, but her smile inexplicably reassured Mu Qingluan. She knew that Xiao Yue was never one to suffer losses; even against the Soul Palace, she had made them pay a heavy price.

As they ventured deeper into the mountains, the group discovered the place was already overflowing with people, a cacophony of noise resembling a bustling marketplace. The auras of powerful individuals emanated from the ruins, forcing even Xiao Yue to look away. Clearly, the allure of this ancient relic far exceeded their expectations.

After a long journey, the group finally stopped on a secluded hill where more than twenty disciples of the Starfall Pavilion were stationed. However, they looked dejected, clearly hurt by the rude expulsion from the Xuanming Sect.

Elder Hu's return invigorated the disciples, and their morale soared even higher when they saw Mu Qingluan and Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue's every action is purposeful, and this time is no exception. What path will she take next? How will the situation in the Bone Mountain Range evolve? Everything remains uncertain…

"I remember that there are only three or four people in the Xuanming Sect who can be called Dou Zun, right?" she asked casually.

"Indeed, Sect Master Chen Tiannan and their Supreme Elder have all arrived," Elder Qi replied respectfully, though his eyes betrayed his worry about the impending changes.

Xiao Yue nodded slightly. As she turned around, her gaze was piercing, as if she could see into people's hearts. Amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she said softly but firmly, "Let's go, let's deliver a 'big gift' to the Xuanming Sect." "We will follow the orders of the Court Master!"

The two elders expressed their support in unison, and then waved their hands, leading a large group of Starfall Pavilion disciples toward the Xuanming Sect camp.

The central area of ​​the Bone Mountain Range, surrounded by mountains, has become a focal point of contention among various forces due to its proximity to the site where the ancient ruins were opened. It is bustling with activity but also harbors hidden dangers. Some lone wolves and powerful figures from smaller factions have no choice but to settle for more remote locations.

Among the many peaks, one stands out. It is occupied by a large number of people, and a silver flag flutters on the top of the mountain, bearing the three characters "Xuanming Sect" with an imposing air.

On this mountain peak, the Xuanming Sect not only set up a continuous stretch of tents but also dispatched a large number of powerful individuals to guard it, clearly demonstrating their determination to conquer this ancient ruin.

Inside the giant tent, the atmosphere was lively, with laughter and conversation mingling together. However, this tranquility was soon broken by a series of hurried footsteps. The tent curtain was suddenly lifted, and a slightly drunk figure in a silver robe staggered out. It was the sect leader of the Xuanming Sect. His face was stern, and his eyes, sharp as a hawk's, swept over the guards around him.

"Everyone, be on your guard! The Pavilion Master is inside receiving distinguished guests; there can be no mistakes!" he shouted in a deep voice.

His voice carried an undeniable air of authority, causing the surrounding guards to shudder and quickly reply, "Yes!"

Chen Tiannan nodded in satisfaction and was about to turn back to camp when he suddenly frowned as if he had sensed something. He looked up into the distance and saw a group of menacing figures rapidly approaching, clearly heading towards the Xuanming Sect.

"Hmph! You came just in time!"

Chen Tiannan smirked and thought to himself, "I'll show you the true strength of the Xuanming Sect!"

He was still unaware of what he was about to face, since the intelligence report had not mentioned that Xiao Yue would be coming.

Chen Tiannan's brows furrowed suddenly, his gaze piercing through the thin mist, focusing on the ancient road winding down the mountain, where hustle and bustle seemed to be quietly approaching.

"That short-sighted force again?" he muttered, a hint of displeasure in his voice.

"Sect Master, please calm down and allow me to investigate."

Before the words were even finished, a Dou Huang expert had already shot off like an arrow towards the foot of the mountain.

However, before he could finish his action, a deafening roar suddenly erupted in the air. Immediately afterward, a figure, accompanied by a shrill scream, was thrown back as if by an invisible giant hand. The tents along the way swayed precariously under the impact and were eventually reduced to ruins.

"Who dares to trespass on the sacred ground of my Xuanming Sect? You're courting death!" Chen Tiannan's voice echoed through the valley, carrying an undeniable authority and anger. His face gradually darkened, like a storm cloud looming overhead.

"Arrest them all, dead or alive!!"

Chen Tiannan's command was like a thunderclap, and all the Xuanming Sect experts responded in unison. Their figures shot up and transformed into afterimages as they sped towards the foot of the mountain, leaving a trail of howling wind and a menacing aura in their wake.

Just as Chen Tiannan was preparing to personally step in and teach that arrogant fool a lesson he deserved, an unexpected turn of events occurred. A series of dull thuds of flesh colliding suddenly rang out, as if the heavens and earth were trembling.

Those Xuanming Sect experts who had just been as fierce as tigers descending the mountain were all repelled by a mysterious force at the same moment. Accompanied by the splatter of blood, they fell heavily to the mountaintop like kites with broken strings, their cries of agony filling the air, a truly gruesome sight.

This scene caused Chen Tiannan to stop in his tracks. His expression turned from gloomy to cold and extremely solemn. To be able to defeat so many experts in an instant, the opponent's strength was by no means ordinary. At this moment, the sense of a Dou Zun powerhouse made him feel a strong sense of crisis, as if some unknown threat was quietly approaching.

"I wonder which friend made this move? This is the camp of my Xuanming Sect. I hope you will consider the reputation of Tianming Sect." Chen Tiannan's gaze was fixed on the mountain road as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Hmph, so it's you who was just kicked out of the Starfall Pavilion!" Chen Tiannan glanced at Elder Hu and Elder Qi beside him, a mocking smile flashing across his face.

"you!"

Upon hearing this, the two elders' faces instantly turned ashen, their eyes blazing with fury. If they weren't no match for Chen Tiannan, they probably would have already attacked.

"What? You've gathered some helpers, ready to cause trouble?" Upon seeing this, Chen Tiannan smiled, his sarcasm even more pronounced. Although he couldn't quite see through Xiao Yue, Little Fairy Doctor, and the others, he didn't consider them to be Dou Zun experts; the latter were too young.

"Chen Tiannan, resolve this matter quickly and do not disturb Lord Xiehuang's enjoyment!"

Two figures suddenly emerged from the tent in the middle and landed beside Chen Tiannan, saying in a deep voice.

"No need for either of these matters, I'll be right back!"

Chen Tiannan's face contorted with rage as he spoke in a low voice.

Before the other two could reply, Chen Tiannan's feet flashed with silver light and he vanished into thin air.

The instant Chen Tiannan's figure disappeared, a subtle smile appeared on Xiao Yue's calm face. She took a light half-step forward and gently clenched her fist in front of her.

As the palm struck, the space in front of Xiao Yue instantly caved in, and a figure appeared in the caved-in space. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Chen Tiannan, who had just disappeared. However, at this moment, his face was filled with shock and fear.

"Xie Huang, aren't you afraid that letting these little cats and dogs out will tarnish the reputation of your Tianming Sect?"

With a casual palm strike, Xiao Yue subdued Chen Tiannan, not even glancing at him. Her gaze fixed on the tent, she smiled slightly, flicked her finger, and Chen Tiannan, trapped within the concave space, suffered a half-inch dent in his chest, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood. His body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the spacious tent before Xuan Xiangming and the other two Supreme Elders, who watched in utter horror. (End of Chapter)
