Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 633 The Humble Nalan Yanran

"Quick, let's go! Let's find a place to hide!"

"Don't worry about me, get the disciples out of here first!"

An anxious shout rang out, and the old man who had been flying in the sky suddenly retracted his battle aura wings, rolled on the ground, and his thick earth element battle aura erupted, instantly blocking all the attacks from behind.

"Go!" the old man growled.

Upon hearing this, a woman behind them reacted swiftly. Before the young men and women could react, she activated her battle qi, causing everyone to accelerate suddenly and transform into a gust of wind, speeding away towards the rear.

After leaving the plains, she did not fly towards the city, but instead turned around and headed straight for a mountain forest.

On the plains, with countless pursuers, everyone knew that the main camp was the safest place, which was precisely why the return journey was the most dangerous.

Rather than deliberately walking into a trap, finding a place to hide and recover from injuries is the only way to have a chance of survival.

Upon entering the forest, the woman moved swiftly, quickly identifying a cave. She leaped inside and then set the boy and girl down with her.

"metropolitan!"

The moment she landed, the girl who had been lying in the woman's arms burst into tears, her eyes instantly turning red.

"Grandpa Yunxia... Will Grandpa Yunxia never come back?"

The woman remained silent.

The girl's hands were covered in mud, staining the woman's moon-white robes, but she showed no displeasure; instead, she displayed a gentle, teacher-like demeanor.

"Don't worry, Elder Yunxia is a lucky person, nothing unexpected will happen." After a long silence, she said softly.

Even so, anyone could hear the heaviness in the woman's voice.

The boys, who were already quite badly injured, now had red eyes and shouted angrily:
"That day, the Serpent Palace went too far. They somehow got hold of the news that Lady Medusa had evolved into a snake and actually tried to take her as their snake slave. If they had succeeded, the hearts of the people of my Gama Empire would have been completely lost!"

The woman sighed softly and said calmly, "There is no such thing as fairness in this world."

The expressions of the boys froze instantly.

Gazing at those indignant, youthful faces, the woman's eyes glazed over, and her voice softened:
"The reason why the Heavenly Serpent Palace did this is because they were convinced that we would not dare to go to war with them, and they wanted to take this opportunity to test our bottom line. If we really dare to resist, then this test will turn into a real war."

"Yes, but-"

Just as the boys were about to say something, a slow, rustling sound of footsteps immediately caught their attention.

In an instant, the boys' expressions changed drastically. Ignoring their injuries, they quickly scrambled to their feet, their eyes warily fixed on the scene ahead.

"Who?!"

At the same time, the woman also turned around, shielding the most seriously injured girl behind her. Her previously gentle gaze was now as cold and icy as frost.

"Just a passerby."

As he entered the cave, Xiao Yan spoke calmly, but his gaze inadvertently fell on the woman in the center.

The woman before him was dressed in a moon-white robe, with short, shoulder-length hair. She looked dashing and capable, her brows furrowed with coldness, and one could vaguely discern a trace of her former arrogance and nobility. At this moment, her battle qi was completely depleted, her eyes filled with fatigue and bloodshot veins. She was barely holding on to her battle qi with a sliver of willpower, clearly having endured a series of battles.

The person in front of him was so unfamiliar that Xiao Yan could not recognize her appearance, but even so, her name was still fresh in Xiao Yan's memory.

Nalan Yanran
Nearly eight years have passed since the three-year agreement was made, and now I never expected to see him again here.

Back in Wutan City, it was because of her existence that Xiao Yan finally agreed to the deal with Hun Ruoruo, and from then on, the two formed an inseparable bond.

It could be said that if it weren't for the other party's coercion, he might not have had any contact with Hun Ruoruo at all, let alone be so eager to resist fate.

He left his hometown, traveled all over Jiama, desperately improved his cultivation, and desperately searched for the strange fire. His ultimate goal was to defeat his nemesis and reclaim his dignity for his father and himself.

In the end, he did succeed, defeating Nalan Yanran with almost no effort. Even the entire Yunlan Sect was reduced to dust by Ruoruo's scheme, and the other party lost her proud backer.

Since then, Nalan Yanran has completely disappeared from his sight.

Now that they meet again, Xiao Yan can't help but feel a little emotional about the changes in the other person.

The willful and spoiled young lady of yesteryear has now become the head of a sect, revered by countless disciples.
Her once long, flowing hair, which could even reach the ground, has now been cut into a short style that's easy to manage.
Xiao Yan even sensed that the other party's cultivation level was merely that of an ordinary Dou Wang, and without a special opportunity, it might be difficult for him to break through again for a long time.

"Your Excellency, please leave immediately, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" Nalan Yanran coldly shouted.

Xiao Yan noticed that the other party's soul power was also exhausted, but he didn't say anything and just silently walked into the cave.

However, upon seeing the figure with Xiao Yan's arm around his waist, everyone, including Nalan Yanran, couldn't help but gasp in surprise:
"Grandpa Yunxia!"

"Elder Yunxia?"

Xiao Yan pointed to the outer perimeter: "I happened to run into him on the plains earlier and rescued him on the spot."

After saying that, he pointed to the token at the old man's waist, indicating to everyone that he had found him by the fluctuations of the token.

"Grandpa Yunxia!"

The young men and women, being naive and inexperienced, clearly believed Xiao Yan's words. They put down their weapons and rushed forward together, leading the old man, who had barely regained consciousness, into the cave.

Quietly observing the scene before him, Xiao Yan lowered his eyes slightly and said in a calm voice, "Given your physical condition, if I had any ulterior motives, I wouldn't need to pretend at all."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran looked somewhat embarrassed and quickly sheathed her sword, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency."

Xiao Yan interrupted her, frowning as he said, "No need to apologize. Tell me about what happened at the Snake Manor that day."

Nalan Yanran was taken aback, and asked somewhat cautiously, "You are also from the Jia Ma Empire?"

Her attitude was extremely humble, without even the slightest arrogance befitting a sect leader. If Xiao Yan hadn't already known her identity, he wouldn't have been able to connect her with the spoiled woman he remembered.

"Hmm." Xiao Yan gave a brief "hmm."

Although they were quite curious about Nalan Yanran's changes, news from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion was clearly more important than her.

After all, there was still another score to settle between him and the Heavenly Serpent Palace.
