Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

"Guardian?"

"Peak Douhuang strength is a bit insufficient."

"It seems I need to think of a way to help you break through to the Dou Zong level."

Watching Ling Ying disappear into a shadow, Zhang Yuan once again transformed his strange fire into wings and flew towards Wutan City.

His suspicions had been confirmed; Xun'er had indeed sent Ling Ying to his side as a long-term bodyguard.

Given Ling Ying's loyalty to the Ancient Clan and the Ancient Clan's fixed and clear class system, it's not wrong to say that Xun'er has already given him this peak Dou Huang title.

With such a powerful figure by his side, he could roam freely in the Gama Empire, and some plans could be implemented ahead of schedule.

Yun Shan, the former sect leader of Yunlan Sect, is believed by many to have perished. In reality, with the help of the Soul Hall, he is close to breaking through to the Dou Zong realm. As long as he knows about the Soul Hall's scheme, even if they don't become friends, they will at least not become enemies.

Medusa, the patriarch of the Snake-People tribe, has probably not found the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame yet. She will advance to the Dou Zong realm in about a year and a half with the help of the strange flame. There are many ways to turn her into one of their own.

The sixth-tier magical beast Youhai Jiao, one of the royal guardians of the Jia Ma Empire, and Jia Xingtian, another royal guardian, were both still half a step away from becoming Dou Zong, but they barely managed to take that step until Xiao Yan returned as a Dou Zun.

His Three Dragon Thunderfire should be able to help the Nether Sea Flood Dragon. Jia Xingtian's side is actually just missing a Breakthrough Pill, but the two are loyal to the royal family, so it will take some time to win them over.

And Hai Bodong, etc.

"To truly stand out from the crowd, one still needs to be a Dou Zong level expert."

"With Xun'er's instructions, Elder Ling can rest assured. The most reliable way to help him break through is to find a way, which will also make him a small helper for me when I go to the ancient clan in the future."

"Actually, the simplest thing is to find Little Fairy Doctor. After activating the Calamity Poison Body, she grew from a Fighter to a Fighting Master in five years, and she was one of the best among them."

Let's run multiple projects in parallel.

Seeing the outline of the city appear ahead, Zhang Yuan suppressed his myriad thoughts.

He lowered his flight altitude and landed on the roof of a building, then used his movement technique to rush to the Xiao family.

The ability to fly can be a trump card, so it's best not to reveal it for now.

Half an hour later, he arrived near the Xiao residence and found the atmosphere in the surrounding streets to be somewhat strange.

With his current strength, if he uses lightning-attribute movement techniques, naturally no one will be able to detect his whereabouts.

A few breaths later, he nimbly scaled the wall and entered the Xiao residence, where he stood right in front of a Xiao family guard, staring at each other in disbelief.

The other party was about to issue a warning, but stopped immediately upon seeing Zhang Yuan's face, and said with a raised chest, "Greetings, Young Master Zhang Yuan."

Zhang Yuan nodded in acknowledgment. He was about to say something when he sensed the aura of two Great Dou Masters rising not far away. He immediately stood behind a rockery and observed the Xiao Family Square through a gap.

Xiao Zhan was confronting a burly middle-aged man. Zhang Yuan remembered that the man was Jia Liebi, the patriarch of the Jia Lie family, a three-star Grand Dou Master, whose strength was slightly inferior to Xiao Zhan's.

Behind Jialiebi stood dozens of people in uniform. Judging from their eyes and demeanor, they were clearly the elite of the Jialie family, and their arrival was obviously not friendly.

In addition, Zhang Yuan also saw the patriarch of the Oba family, Obapa, as well as Lin Zhengqing, the city lord of Wutan City with the strength of a Douling, Master Gu Ni and Ya Fei from the Mittel Auction House.

All the high-ranking officials of Wutan City gathered here.

"Could it be about what happened last night?" A guess popped into Zhang Yuan's mind.

The next moment, his idea was confirmed.

"Xiao Zhan, hand over Zhang Yuan, or I will not hesitate to start a clan war." Jialiebi's face was ashen, and he was furious like a raging lion.

On the Dou Qi Continent, apart from the Black Corner Region, any force can fight, but it must be within a certain limit. In the Jia Ma Empire, the imperial law is that limit.

Clan wars are life-or-death battles between clans, similar to duels between individuals on a death stage. Once a contract is signed, one assumes full responsibility for life and death, and once the person dies, the debt is settled, and no one can hold them accountable.

Individual life-or-death battles only require signing a death warrant at a designated arena, but starting a clan war has many prerequisites, and clans rarely do this.

If Jia Liebi was not blinded by rage, then he was trying to intimidate the Xiao family.

"If you want war, then let's fight!" Xiao Zhan stepped forward and said without fear, "It's absolutely impossible for me to hand over my nephew to sue for peace."

“My Xiao family has no cowards who are born on their knees.”

The eyes of all the Xiao family members and high-ranking officials present were firm.

What right do we have to fight a mere tribal war?

The worst that can happen is that I die in battle!

Jialiebi's eyes flashed, and he secretly made a hand gesture.

Elder Jia Lieqing of the Jia Lie family stepped forward and said, “Clan Chief Xiao, my clan chief is inevitably a little impatient because his beloved son is seriously injured. However, after your nephew Zhang Yuan committed the crime yesterday, he personally said that my clan chief can come to him for an explanation if he has any grievances.”

“Our clan chief came as instructed, so it cannot be considered bullying the weak.”

Galeo was seriously injured, but his foundation was not damaged. Moreover, his talent was average and he was not valued by Galeo. He was at fault for being beaten, and Galeo would not normally pursue the matter.

After all, it's a fight between juniors. As the clan leader, don't you have any pride in getting involved?

However, Zhang Yuan's displayed strength and talent made Jia Liebi wary.

Just then, Zhang Yuan, wanting to "make a quick remark," said that if Jialiebi had any complaints, he could come to his door to demand an explanation.

Then he would "reasonably" cause trouble for Zhang Yuan, find a pretext to cripple him, and even bring Chief Oba along.

Because the confrontation between the three races was so intense, City Lord Lin Zhengqing, Gu Ni and Ya Fei from the Mittel Auction House also rushed over to join in the fun.

"Old man, don't talk nonsense."

Before Xiao Zhan could speak, Xiao Yan, who was not far behind him, said, "What do you mean by 'violent attack'? My cousin acted in self-defense. The incident was caused by Jia Lie'ao trying to harass a woman from my Xiao family. With so many important figures present, don't try to distort the facts."

Upon hearing this, Jialiebi and Jialieqing looked at Xiao Yan and secretly gathered their auras.

But Xiao Yan looked at them without changing his expression at all.

"If this child still possesses his talent, he would be terrifying." The strongest individuals present were secretly alarmed.

Yafei and Gu Ni knew more, and therefore thought more.

"Alright, Jialiebi!" Xiao Zhan stood in front of Xiao Yan and said calmly, "I've already said that Yuan'er isn't in the clan. You can bully the weak when Yuan'er comes back."

"Heh." Jialiebi sneered, "I'm afraid that once I leave, Zhang Yuan will never be able to find me again. All the black-armored guards under his command are here, but he is the only one missing. Do you think I would believe that?"

"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Xiao Zhan asked back.

“Isn’t that right?” Jia Liebi said grimly, “If you have nothing to hide, then let my Jia Lie family search the Xiao family. With the city lord here, we will naturally behave properly and only search for people.”

This is not a matter of following the rules. If the Xiao family continues to allow the Jia Lie family to search their property at will, they will inevitably be seen as weak and easily bullied.

Xiao Zhan pondered a countermeasure in his mind, and the atmosphere became quiet for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan had no intention of playing the last-minute trick. He jumped from the direction of the gate to a position slightly in front of Xiao Zhan, then turned around and said calmly, "I'm going to go out and have some breakfast from my hometown. What does Chief Jia Lie want to talk to me about? Medical expenses?"

His appearance immediately made him the center of attention; his demeanor and looks were truly admirable.

“He seems a little different again,” Ya Fei murmured.

“He may have already broken through,” Master Gu Ni said.

As a second-grade alchemist, his soul perception was more acute than that of most Grand Dou Masters.

"Breakthrough!?" Ya Fei instinctively covered her mouth, her peach blossom eyes filled with surprise.

Doesn't this mean that Zhang Yuan became a Grand Dou Master at the age of sixteen?!

This potential is several levels higher than that of a peak sixteen-year-old Battle Master.

Chapter 21 Beating Up a Three-Star Grandmaster

"I'm going to take this gamble."

Looking at Zhang Yuan's handsome face, Ya Fei pursed her alluring red lips, and a strange light appeared in her peach blossom eyes.

"Kid, you actually dare to show your face." Jialiebi looked at Zhang Yuan's extraordinary demeanor and thought to himself that the Xiao family had gotten incredibly lucky, but his coldness intensified. He said, "Last night you made a boast in front of everyone. Do you dare to keep your word?"

"What's there to be afraid of!" Zhang Yuan said calmly, "Chief Jialie, how do you plan to seek justice for your good-for-nothing son?"

Jialiebi clenched his fists and said coldly, "My son's way of expressing his admiration for the Xiao family women may have been a little too blatant, but it doesn't warrant such a heavy blow from you."

“No matter how useless he is, he is still my son, and as a father, I can’t do nothing.”

"Ten moves!"

Jialiebi raised his hand and said sternly, "To avoid being accused of bullying the weak, I will make ten moves against you. After that, no matter what, our grudges will be settled, and everyone here can witness it."

Do you dare?

Zhang Yuan calmly nodded and said, "Whatever."

"Xiao Zhan, you're not going to interfere, are you?" Jia Liebi looked at Xiao Zhan and said threateningly, "If you make a move, I think Brother Aubap wouldn't mind sparring with you."

Obap smiled warmly and was about to speak in response to Galebi.

But Xiao Zhan didn't even glance at him, and stepped back, giving the space to Zhang Yuan and Jialiebi.

Few people knew that Zhang Yuan had broken through to the Great Dou Master level, but Xiao Yan had already informed him in advance.

He already knew that Zhang Yuan, at the peak of the Dou Shi realm, had the strength to kill a late-stage Da Dou Shi, let alone now.

Unless it was a life-or-death battle, he had no intention of interfering.

Obapa's smile froze, and he could only say, "Brother Xiao is very generous."

"Heh." Jialiebi sneered and raised his hand to signal the Jialie family members to step back.

"You still dare to laugh? You'll be crying later."

With a powerful kick, Galebi's fighting spirit instantly enveloped his entire body, transforming into a blue-green armor.

Swish!

Without any prelude, his figure transformed into a whirlwind, arriving before Zhang Yuan in the blink of an eye.

Few people at the scene could see his movements clearly; they only felt that in the blink of an eye, he had already appeared in front of Zhang Yuan and struck out with a palm.

The azure battle qi transformed into a gale, compressing the air around Zhang Yuan and restricting his movements.

This palm strike carried an extremely strong tearing sensation, all of which was poured into Jialiebi's left hand, with Zhang Yuan's head as the target.

This is the strongest fighting technique of the Jia Lie family, a mid-level Xuan-rank technique: Wind-Dispelling Palm!

"what!"

Some of the younger members of the Xiao family, whose strength was relatively weak, exclaimed in surprise.

No one expected that Galiebi would use all his strength right from the start and go straight for the kill.
