Lin Dong stood in the air, his sharp gaze sweeping over the astonished faces below, finally landing on the girl in the moon-white dress on the high platform.

"You are Nalan Yanran?"

Lin Dong asked, his tone carrying a strong sense of pressure.

Nalan Yanran looked up at that familiar figure, her heart churning with turmoil.

Battle Qi transforms into wings—this is the mark of a Battle King or higher-level expert!

Has Xiao Yan already reached the Dou Wang realm?

But...how is this possible?
Where did the Xiao family get their resources?
How could he possibly bridge such a huge gap in three years?
In fact, not only Nalan Yanran, but almost everyone in the square was stunned by the pair of wings behind 'Xiao Yan'.

"Dou Qi wings? This Xiao Yan... is a Dou Wang level expert?"

"My God! How old is he? Eighteen? A nineteen-year-old Battle King?!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The Jia Ma Empire hasn't produced such a young Battle King in nearly a hundred years!"

"But those wings... they can't be faked!"

"Could it be some kind of advanced flight combat technique?"

The discussion erupted like boiling water.

Jia Xingtian, Fama, and the others also stared intently at the wings on Lin Dong's back. Even with their keen eyesight, they couldn't fully see through the essence of the wings for a moment, only sensing a powerful and unfamiliar energy fluctuation.

The smug look on Yun Leng's face had long since disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

He stared intently at Lin Dong, trying to sense the fluctuations of his battle qi, but he only felt that the other party's aura was completely integrated and unfathomable, which was very different from ordinary battle qi.

"Xiao Yan, stop playing tricks. If you used any flying techniques, just admit it openly. Trying to be mysterious in front of the Yunlan Sect will only make you a laughingstock!"

Yun Leng took a deep breath and shouted sternly at Lin Dong.

Aerial combat skills?

Upon hearing Yun Ling's reminder, many people showed expressions of sudden realization and skepticism.

Indeed, while aerial combat skills are rare, they do exist.

If Xiao Yan's ability to fly is due to his flying combat skills, then his true cultivation level may not have reached that of a Dou Wang.

Just then, a streak of azure light suddenly swept across the sky.

Yun Yun's figure appeared in the sky above the square, facing Lin Dong from afar.

"Xiao Yan...did you come alone?"

Yun Yun spoke calmly, but her eyes held a hint of urgency and anticipation.

Lin Dong turned to look at Yun Yun.

The woman before him was stunningly beautiful, with a gentle yet aloof demeanor, vaguely resembling the image of the "Sect Master of Yunlan Sect" that Zhu Chen had mentioned in the group chat.

Remembering Zhu Chen's instructions, he rolled his eyes and immediately put on a simple and honest smile.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yun Yun and blurted out, "You must be Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect? Greetings, sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law?"

Lin Dong's earth-shattering address was like a thunderclap from the heavens, instantly silencing the entire Yunlan Sect.

Everyone gaped, their eyes wide, as if they had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.

Yun Leng was so angry that his beard stood on end.

He pointed at Lin Dong and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! Xiao Yan, you dare to slander the Sect Master's reputation like this! The Sect Master is the fiancée of Pill King Gu He. How dare you spout such nonsense and try to claim a connection with him!" "That's right, Xiao Yan, you're too arrogant!"

"How dare you be so disrespectful to Sect Master Yun!"

"It's just looking for death!"

The elders and disciples of the Yunlan Sect angrily denounced the accusations, their emotions running high.

The guests below the stage looked at each other in disbelief, all thinking that Xiao Yan must have gone mad, or that he knew he was no match for him and was trying to disturb people's peace in this absurd way!

However, Yun Yun's reaction in the air was unexpected by everyone.

She didn't immediately get angry; instead, her delicate body trembled slightly, and an incredulous look of surprise suddenly flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"What...what did you just call me? You...you came in his place? Where is he?"

The "he" Yun Yun mentioned was clearly not referring to Xiao Yan.

Perhaps only Yun Yun herself knows what Lin Dong's address of "sister-in-law" means!
Because three years ago, that domineering young man had told her that Xiao Yan was his brother.

Now that Xiao Yan is calling her sister-in-law, doesn't that mean that guy has already revealed his identity to his brothers?

Thinking of this, a blush immediately appeared on Yun Yun's face.

Yun Ling and the others were even more astonished by Yun Yun's reaction.

The sect leader's condition... doesn't seem like anger after being offended, but rather like a young girl in love!
What exactly is going on?

"Sister-in-law, my brother won't be here for a few more days. Don't worry, let me settle the three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran first..."

Lin Dong withdrew his gaze from Yun Yun, then extended his right index finger and beckoned to Nalan Yanran, whose expression was constantly changing on the high platform: "Hey~, you must be Nalan Yanran, right? Don't just stand there, my time is precious, come on, let's have a good fight, let me see just how much skill that blind, faithless woman who broke off the engagement back then has now acquired."

His words instantly ignited the anger and humiliation in Nalan Yanran's heart.

"Xiao Yan, don't be so arrogant!"

Nalan Yanran shouted, her beautiful eyes flashing with a cold light: "I don't care what methods you used, today I will make you pay the price for your arrogant words back then and your slander today!"

Without further hesitation, she flashed and gracefully landed on the dueling platform in the center of the square. Immediately, her moon-white longsword was drawn with a clang, its tip pointing directly at Lin Dong in the air. She said coldly, "Xiao Yan, do you dare to come down and fight?"

In Nalan Yanran's opinion, Elder Yunling's guess was probably correct.

Xiao Yan must have used a rare flying technique to be able to fly, so his true cultivation level could not possibly have reached that of a Dou Wang.

With his own strength as a Seven-Star Grand Dou Master, combined with the profound fighting techniques of the Yunlan Sect and the treasured sword in his hand, he might not be without the power to fight!
Moreover, with everyone watching, she absolutely could not back down!
Lin Dong became excited when he saw that Nalan Yanran had volunteered for the battle.

"Why don't you dare?"

With a thought, the pair of magnificent phoenix wings on his back instantly retracted, turning into specks of light and dissipating.

He did not use his battle aura to transform into wings, but instead fell like a meteor, yet his body remained as steady as Mount Tai, gently landing on the other side of the stone platform, facing Nalan Yanran from afar.

Lin Dong's effortless landing caused the pupils of many sharp-eyed individuals to shrink slightly.

Without using wings to cushion the fall, the ease with which one could descend from such a height suggests a remarkable level of physical control.

Yunling also had doubts in his eyes, but now that things had come to this, he could no longer stop it.

He glanced at Yun Yun in the air, whose expression was complicated and who seemed to want to say something, gritted his teeth, and announced loudly, "Now that both sides are present, this three-year wager will now begin..."

"Enough talk, Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger!"

Before Yun Ling could finish speaking, Lin Dong's fully charged finger pierced the air fiercely!
