I am in a chat group, and all my friends are the protagonists of the Sequel

Chapter 424 Yunshan: What happened?
To climb high.

Being a slave or a maid is considered climbing the social ladder.

Nalan Yanran's bitter voice echoed faintly in the square, but no one thought anything was wrong.

For a Dou Wang (Battle King) to become a Dou Di's (Battle Emperor) servant is an incredible stroke of luck.

Those Dou Zun, and even the old Dou Sheng who had been stuck at the Dou Sheng realm for a long time, knew about this.

She would only be driven mad with jealousy towards Nalan Yanran.

Perhaps there will be ridicule.

She lost a chance to become the Dou Di's wife because of her domineering behavior.

Regret, pain, and extreme remorse filled the hearts of the Nalan family members.

Their faces were full of bitterness as they slumped in their seats.

Some elders of the Yunlan Sect looked towards the Nalan family and couldn't help but twitch their lips, before revealing a pained expression.

Do the Nalan family regret it?

Of course, they deeply regretted it. If only they had persisted a little longer and stopped Nalan Yanran from doing that unreasonable thing.

They could get a Dou Di powerhouse as their son-in-law for free.

The Nalan family will rise to prominence and become a top family that no one in the entire Dou Qi Continent dares to offend.

Its legacy, passed down for millennia, will not be false.

But now all of that is gone, and there's even the fear of it being washed away by the malice of a Dou Di.

They were like this, and the people of the Yunlan Sect were even more so.

They remained silent, their hearts heavy with bitterness. The plaza atop Yunlan Mountain was faintly enveloped by the aura of Emperor Yan, and filled with a sense of regret.

Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran, who looked helplessly bitter. "I lost, but I know I am not qualified to be your servant."

She picked up a long sword with her jade-like hand, and said with a forlorn expression, "Anyway, my image as an unreasonable person is already deeply rooted in your heart."

"So please let my life be the price for your forgiveness of the Nalan family and the Yunlan Sect."

She swung her sword and slashed at her snow-white neck.

"what!"

Nalan Yanran's sudden action caused all the Yunlan Sect disciples, including the elders, in the square to change their expressions drastically.

They never expected that Nalan Yanran would commit suicide because she lost the competition.

However, they dared not stop it.

They were silent, their voices heavy with bitterness. Even Yun Yun was held back by the sect's authority, unable to move forward in her pain.

Ding!
Just as the longsword was about to slice through her delicate skin, a hand deftly caught Nalan Yanran's sword.

With her sword blocked, Nalan Yanran suddenly looked up and met Xiao Yan's calm eyes.

"Although I have no interest in taking you as a slave, I also have no interest in taking your life."

“Besides, you shouldn’t only apologize to my father,” Xiao Yan said.

It wasn't just his father, Xiao Yan, who arranged for him to marry Nalan Yanran when they were still children.

And his mother, and his grandfather.

Those people deserve an apology in their graves.

"The three-year agreement has now ended, Nalan Yanran." Xiao Yan took out the letter of divorce from back then, shook it, and smiled.

"You and I are both free."

He burned the letter of divorce to ashes, letting it fly into the air and disappear.

Nalan Yanran stared blankly. The letter of divorce, a symbol of restraint, had disappeared, but her heart felt utterly empty.

Is this greed? Always wanting more... What if she hadn't broken off the engagement?
There is no answer to this.

Because it has already happened.

You have to pay the price for what you've done.

Xiao Yan turned around and waved his hand, "Everyone, the three-year agreement has ended. Now it's time for everyone to go home."

"Oh, right, there's still a brat in this Yunlan Sect."

Xiao Yan suddenly remembered and said, "Little brat?"

Before the Yunlan Sect members could figure out what was going on, they heard a terrified scream coming from the back mountain.

"I am a member of the Soul Palace, do you dare?"

A sinister-looking middle-aged man was grabbed by Xiao Yan and appeared in the air above the square.

He was gripped by an invisible force, his face filled with terror, his fierce expression masking his inner turmoil.

"The Soul Palace?" Xiao Yan chuckled. "I've already wiped out the Soul Clan behind the Soul Palace."

"You, a mere protector of the Soul Palace, should also return to dust along with them."

"The Soul Palace was destroyed? That's impossible." Protector Lu's eyes widened in disbelief as he murmured.

However, white flames appeared, and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire burned his body to ashes, imprisoning his soul within it.

"what--!"

The Guardian Heron screamed in agony; the pain of his soul being burned was too intense, and he wished he could die right now.

However, in the original story, it was because of him that Yao Lao's fate became unknown, and he was captured by the Soul Palace and suffered endless torture.

It was also because of him.

His father was captured and taken to the Soul Clan, separating father and son forever.

Xiao Yan could spare everyone else in the Yunlan Sect, but he had to make sure that Xiao Yan's soul was burned and he died in agony.

'The group admin must have even better methods for tormenting souls; I'll borrow some from him.'

After Xiao Yan took away the soul of Protector Lu, he glanced at Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun in the Yunlan Sect. His eyes flickered slightly, but he still turned and walked away gracefully.

"It's over." Yao Lao sighed, stood up, unleashed the aura of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, and walked away, stroking his beard in mid-air.

The people from Yunlan Sect looked at him in shock. "You're also a Dou Sheng?"
Xiao Zhan also felt a sense of melancholy and happiness. This was his son, who had reached the third stage of Dou Qi in three years and had grown into a Dou Di.

He felt proud, and the ancestors of the Xiao family must have been overjoyed.

He unleashed the aura of a three-star Dou Sheng and soared into the air.

……ah?

Is Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, also a Dou Sheng?

But wasn't he only a five-star Grand Dou Master three years ago?
The Nalan family felt a deep pain in their hearts, even more so than when they first learned that Xiao Yan was a Dou Di.

"Nalan Yanran, thank you." Xiao Xun'er smiled and revealed the aura of a Dou Sheng, saying, "If it weren't for you, perhaps Brother Xiao Yan would still be in the back mountain, not having left this world."

She would also find it difficult to stand openly beside Xiao Yan and become his wife.

Xiao Xun'er smiled and thanked Nalan Yanran before flying away.

With her Dou Zong cultivation level, Xiao Yi Xian moved as gracefully as a fairy and caught up with Xiao Yan.

Medusa was alluring; she stepped into the void and walked away with a smile on her lips.

There were also other people who stepped through the void, the lowest of whom were at the Dou Zong level, and there were quite a few Dou Zun and Dou Sheng among them.

There was another person in the air. Gu Yuan looked at Nalan Yanran in the square below with a strange expression.

"So, it was this girl who facilitated Xiao Yan's transformation."

"If the Soul Emperor were alive and knew about this, I'm afraid even with his composure, he would have a hard time maintaining his composure."

Gu Yuan chuckled and left.

The Yunlan Sect was now deserted, with only empty seats remaining.

An elderly sect leader, Yun Shan, who appeared to be a young man with white hair, hurriedly flew out from the back mountain and asked:
"What happened?"

Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran looked at Yun Shan speechlessly, wondering what they could say.
Did they just come to fulfill the three-year agreement with the Dou Di?

The protective array covering the Jiama Empire has dissipated, and Xiao Yan's achievements in the battle between the two emperors in Zhongzhou have once again shocked everyone in the Jiama Empire.

However, that has nothing to do with Xiao Yan anymore.

Because the group chat was buzzing with urging.
