Chapter 256 Xiao Yan's defenses have been breached!
"So the saying 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river' was Xiao Yan's hint to Nalan Yanran back then. That's interesting..."

Zhu Chen was momentarily stunned when he saw the comments Xiao Yan posted in the group chat.

This kid is quite self-aware.

At that time, Yao Lao had not yet appeared, and he was incomparable to Nalan Yanran at all.

Using thirty years as a buffer to save face for the Xiao family is indeed a good approach.

After all, a long period of time is enough to dilute everything.

Perhaps in thirty years people will have forgotten about this.

Unfortunately, Nalan Yanran didn't understand his hint and directly made a three-year agreement with him.

Of course, it is also possible that Nalan Yanran understood Xiao Yan's hint at the time.

But in order not to give Xiao Yan a chance to turn the tables, she deliberately shortened this time by 10 times!
At this moment, Xiao Yan sent another message in the group chat:
[Xiao Yan: Let's not dwell on the past. Anyway, with my current strength, I could easily handle a small sect like Yunlan Sect. What I'm curious about now is, if my cultivation reaches the level of Dou Sheng or Dou Di in three years, and I go to Yunlan Sect then, I wonder what Nalan Yanran will think!]

Although Xiao Yan kept saying on the surface that he had let go of his feelings for Nalan Yanran.

But he could never let go of the fact that Nalan Yanran had publicly broken off the engagement with their Xiao family.

Even though he now possesses enough strength to crush the entire Yunlan Sect.

He will not only attend the Yunlan Sect meeting three years later, but he will also go in his strongest condition.

He needs to give himself an explanation for what he did back then.

He wanted to see what kind of expression Nalan Yanran would have when she learned of his current achievements.

Of course.

For Zhu Chen's sake, he wouldn't embarrass Yunlan Sect too much.

[Lin Dong: Fourth Brother, why are you doing this? With your current strength, you could go to the Yunlan Sect to find Nalan Yanran right now. Why do you have to wait three years?]

[Xiao Yan: You don't understand. The stronger I am when I go to the appointment, the greater Nalan Yanran's regret will be. I can let it go for my elder brother's sake, but I must let her know that I, Xiao Yan, am definitely not the good-for-nothing she claims to be.]

[Lin Dong: Okay, don't forget to call me then, I'll back you up!]

Xiao Yan: Definitely!

[Shi Hao: Can I go? I haven't been to any other worlds since this chat group was created!]

When Shi Hao saw people discussing cross-industry collaborations in the group chat, he immediately chimed in.

He was very curious about what kind of world Xiao Yan, the alchemist, lived in.

Are there many delicious elixirs there?
[Xiao Yan: Of course! I'd be more than happy to have you all come to promote me, how could I possibly refuse?]

[Zhu Chen: Xiao Yan, it's fine if you want to go to the Yunlan Sect to get revenge, but don't go too far. After all, Yun Yun is my woman now, and Nalan Yanran is practically my disciple.]

Zhu Chen was worried that Xiao Yan might go too far at the Yunlan Sect, so he immediately reminded him in the group chat.

He could ignore the feud between the other party and Nalan Yanran.

But Yunyun is now his woman.

There are some things he still needs to intervene in.

Otherwise, if Xiao Yan gets too carried away like in the original story and destroys the Yunlan Sect, that would be terrible.

[Xiao Yan: Don't worry, brother. I just want to prove myself so that Nalan Yanran knows she was wrong and won't lay a hand on her. I'm a five-star Dou Zun now, how could I possibly argue with a great Dou Shi like her?]

[Zhu Chen: Come on, your current cultivation level is all borrowed from your teacher. You're only a five-star Dou Ling yourself. If we're really going to be serious, Lin Dong might be stronger than you right now.] Zhu Chen wasn't flattering Lin Dong; it was just a fact.

Since Lin Dong went to the Great Desolate Monument dungeon, he not only broke through to the Shaping Realm, but also obtained the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger.

If Xiao Yan didn't rely on Yao Lao's help to have a serious fight with Lin Dong, it would be really hard to say who would be stronger.

[Xiao Yan: Big brother, isn't what you're saying a bit too extreme? Although I've been borrowing my teacher's cultivation, I'm still a Dou Ling who has refined several different flames. If I add the 'Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame,' my true combat strength should be comparable to a Dou Wang powerhouse. Moreover, I also have my self-created ultimate technique, 'Buddha's Wrath Lotus.' What does Brother Lin Dong have to compare with me?"]

Xiao Yan was somewhat unconvinced.

He felt that even if he couldn't compare to Zhu Chen and Wang Lin, he was at least not weaker than Lin Dong, right?

[Zhu Chen: Your "Buddha's Wrath Lotus" is good, but the level of the different flames you currently possess is too low to unleash the true power of this skill. On the other hand, Brother Lin Dong, although he lacks the comprehension to create his own skills, understands fusion. He was able to integrate Wang Lin's "Three Finger Transformation of Demons" into his own "Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger," which is enough to prove his extraordinary talent in this area. To be honest, your current "Buddha's Wrath Lotus" may not be as strong as his modified "Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger."]

[Wang Lin: Fifth Brother's "Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger" is indeed quite powerful, and I remember that "Half Finger Shaking Heaven and Earth" should only be the starting move of this technique. If he can unleash the following moves and incorporate my "Demon Transformation Three Finger", its power will definitely reach an even higher level.]

Wang Lin also affirmed Lin Dong at this moment.

Just now, when Lin Dong was dealing with that green-haired Venerable, he used the starting stance of the "Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger".

He was very impressed with this move.

"Oh my god~, both my older brother and second brother are praising me..."

Seeing the comments sent by Zhu Chen and Wang Lin, Lin Dong was incredibly excited.

He never imagined that he would one day be praised by someone.

It seems that all that hard work during this period of training has finally paid off.

Xiao Yan originally wanted to refute Zhu Chen and Wang Lin's views.

But when he thought of the scene where Lin Dong clashed head-on with the green-haired Venerable using the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger, he immediately swallowed back the words he had just prepared.

Lin Dong's growth rate is indeed astonishing.

He remembered that when the other person first started out, he was just like him, only knowing some basic skills.

But now, the other party is already able to hold their own against a Venerable-level expert.

Although Lin Dong only lasted a few breaths in that exchange, he was quickly defeated.

But this is enough to prove that the opponent's strength is improving rapidly, as well as their mindset is undergoing a transformation.

Whenever he encountered an enemy, his first thought was to seek help from his teacher.

Lin Dong, however, would not consider this point.

That guy never hesitates to fight, no matter how strong the enemy is; he's fearless in the face of danger.

This is the mindset that a true strong person should have.

At this moment, Xiao Yan finally understood a principle.

The best way to hone a person is through real-world combat.

And using a substitute player only makes people more cowardly!
