Battle Through the Heavens: The Strongest in the Entire Map, I Will Always Be Above You

"Is something going on in the clan today? Why are they sweeping the courtyard so early in the morning?"

Xiao Yan asked curiously.

Xun'er always knew a lot about what was going on in the clan, and Xiao Yan felt that it wouldn't be wrong to ask her.

"It must be because people from the Yunlan Sect came to our door, right?"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Xun'er's face, and she said in a somewhat bitter voice.

"Yunlan Sect..."

……

After having breakfast at the Mittel Auction House, Chen Yang and Ya Fei traveled by carriage to the Xiao family's gate.

Butler Mo was already waiting at the door.

When he saw Ya Fei come out first, Butler Mo was slightly taken aback. Then, remembering that the alchemist should be behind, he continued to wait respectfully.

However, when Butler Mo saw a young man who was only a few years older than the Third Young Master step out of the carriage, he was stunned.

He originally thought that this alchemist should be an old man like Gu Ni, or at least a middle-aged man of the same age as the family head.

What's going on with this 18 or 19-year-old boy?

"Steward Mo, this is the alchemist invited by Clan Chief Xiao Zhan. Please lead the way!"

When Ya Fei saw that it wasn't Xiao Zhan who came to greet her, she was actually a little displeased. However, considering that someone from the Yunlan Sect had come to the Xiao family today, she could understand. But the look in Butler Mo's eyes made her very unhappy.

"I'm sorry, Miss Yafei, it was my mistake!"

"Master, please; Miss Yafei, please!"

……

On the way, Chen Yang looked at the mountains and rivers of the Xiao family and thought to himself, "This is the place that nurtured Emperor Yan!"

Halfway there, Chen Yang suddenly asked, "Where is Clan Chief Xiao Zhan? Why are you, a mere steward, leading the way?"

Upon hearing this, Butler Mo assumed that Chen Yang was angry and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Master, please forgive us. Today, we have distinguished guests from the Yunlan Sect. The clan leader is currently receiving them in the reception hall!"

Chen Yang waved his hand: "If that's the case, then I'll go and join in the fun!"

How can you miss seeing such a memorable scene of annulment?

He got up early specifically to come here.

"This..." Butler Mo hesitated. His third young master had lost his talent for three years, while Nalan Yanran had joined the Yunlan Sect. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth. The purpose of her visit was very likely to annul the engagement. If outsiders saw this, wouldn't that be...

However, Butler Mo then realized that this young alchemist might be the only chance for the Third Young Master to recover his talent. So he gritted his teeth, took it upon himself to nod, and said, "My lord, Miss Ya Fei, please come with me!"

The three of them soon arrived at the entrance of the reception hall, and Butler Mo stepped forward and pushed open the door.

Inside the hall, Xiao Zhan suddenly heard the door open. Thinking it was Xiao Yan, he hurriedly looked up and saw Ya Fei and a young man.

"Miss Ya Fei!"

Xiao Zhan hurriedly got up and quickly went to the door.

"Clan Chief Xiao Zhan, this is Master Chen Yang!"

Ya Fei greeted Xiao Zhan and introduced Chen Yang to him.

"master!"

Although Xiao Zhan was surprised by Chen Yang's youth, he didn't think anything was wrong. After all, he had been to the capital city and knew that some geniuses couldn't be judged by ordinary standards.

"Clan Chief Xiao Zhan, you're too kind. Please come inside!"

His keen spiritual power quickly spotted the three Yunlan Sect members sitting in the hall, with the leader, a Seven-Star Grand Dou Master, possessing an astonishing aura.

"Father!"

Just then, a young voice rang out from behind them. Everyone turned around, and a look of amazement flashed in Chen Yang's eyes.

The tall, slender boy was rather plain-looking, but the girl next to him in a purple dress was truly beautiful.

In terms of looks alone, in the Dou Qi Continent, perhaps only Queen Medusa of the Snake-People tribe can rival her.

However, Chen Yang's eyes only lingered on the girl for a moment. The girl was beautiful, but... she was too young!

"Master Chen Yang, please come in!"

"We have guests from our clan today, and we apologize for any shortcomings in our hospitality!"

Xiao Zhan adopted a very humble attitude.

The three elders and the Xiao family members looked on with puzzled expressions. They recognized Ya Fei, but they had never seen the young man next to her before, especially one whom the clan leader respected so much.

"It's alright, you two go about your business. We'll talk again when you're done!"

Chen Yang didn't say anything about leaving. Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, and then welcomed Chen Yang and Ya Fei in.

"Since that's the case, let's make this a spectacle for the master today..."

Xiao Zhan shook his head bitterly, arranged for Chen Yang to be positioned below the Yunlan Sect members, apologized, and then went to attend to his work.

"Master Chen Yang, it seems something extraordinary is about to happen at the Xiao family today?"

Consort Ya asked the question knowing the answer already.

"I think this is going to be a good show!"

Chen Yang smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, looked at Xiao Yan who was standing helplessly in the hall, and beckoned to the seat next to him: "Come, sit here..."

Chapter 9 Xiao Yan: Break off the engagement? Bring me a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique!

Chen Yang's sudden words startled Xiao Zhan, who was at the head of the table, for a moment, then a look of joy flashed across his face.

'It seems this young alchemist has a good impression of Yan'er!'

Hopefully, he has a way to solve Yan'er's problem.

At this moment, Xiao Yan looked at Xun'er. Before taking her seat, Xun'er had asked him to sit with her, but this young man, whom even his father treated with utmost respect, seemed to be a better fit for his current choice.

Xun'er noticed that Xiao Yan was looking at her, and nodded slightly, indicating that Xiao Yan should go to Chen Yang's side.

At the same time, she was also very curious about Chen Yang. This young man was already a nine-star Grand Dou Master at such a young age, and his condition was very perfect. When the time was right, he would be able to break through to the Dou Ling level.

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old fighting spirit is nothing special among the ancient clans, but in other parts of the continent, he is definitely considered a genius.

Moreover, their main profession is alchemy.

Seeing Xun'er nod, Xiao Yan reached out and touched his nose, walked to Chen Yang's side, respectfully called him "Master," and then sat down next to Chen Yang.

"Kid, put your hand out!"

Ignoring the gazes of the others present, Chen Yang spoke to him in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your help, Master!"

Xiao Yan hurriedly raised his right hand and placed it on the coffee table between the two of them.

Chen Yang raised his hand and placed it on Xiao Yan's pulse, channeling a gentle stream of Dou Qi into Xiao Yan's body while simultaneously observing him with his soul power.

Xiao Zhan, who was above, was chatting idly with Ge Ye, but his gaze couldn't help but sweep over this side.

Throughout the hall, those who knew the inside story, such as Xiao Zhan, Xun'er, and Ya Fei, were all somewhat uneasy, concerned about whether Xiao Yan's problem could be resolved.

The others, who were unaware of the situation, such as the three from the Yunlan Sect and the rest of the Xiao family, all looked at Chen Yang and Xiao Yan with curiosity.

From Xiao Zhan's attitude towards Chen Yang just now, they could vaguely guess that Chen Yang's identity was not simple, but Xiao Zhan did not say what his identity was, and they did not ask.

Chen Yang closed his eyes and sensed the flow of Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body. Nearly twenty-five minutes passed before Chen Yang finally noticed that a trace of his Dou Qi had disappeared.

Moreover, his keen soul perception was basically able to pinpoint that the fighting spirit ultimately disappeared from Xiao Yan's left hand.

Of course, with Chen Yang's soul power as a third-grade alchemist, he would not be able to find the location where Xiao Yan's fighting spirit disappeared if he simply looked for it. However, if he went to find the reason with the answer in mind, it would be much simpler.

Even so, it took Chen Yang nearly half an hour to discover the clue.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was extremely uneasy. He looked at Chen Yang with his eyes closed, then at Xun'er who was smiling at him, and at Xiao Zhan above him who was looking at him with concern. A sense of guilt flashed through his heart.

'Even if this alchemist can solve my problem, I'm afraid my father will have to pay a considerable price, right?' Xiao Yan's lips curled into a bitter smile as he saw that Chen Yang had already opened his eyes.

"I..." Xiao Yan looked at Chen Yang, about to ask his question, when he noticed that the old man from the Yunlan Sect, dressed in a moon-white robe, slowly stood up, cupped his hands to his father, and said, "Clan Chief Xiao, the main reason I have come to your family is to ask you for a favor!"

Chen Yang turned around and saw that the real business had begun, so he casually patted Xiao Yan's wrist and nodded to him.

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback. He wasn't stupid. Chen Yang nodded, so did that mean there was a way to solve his problem?

The boy was overjoyed, but also afraid of being disappointed, and felt even more uneasy than when he didn't know the outcome.

What people fear most is having hope only to fall into despair.

Chen Yang ignored Xiao Yan and instead became a proper bystander, intently enjoying the show.

'If this scene were recorded by a high-definition camera or something, it wouldn't be unreasonable to sell him tens of thousands of Sovereign Realm pills after he enters the Sovereign Realm, would it?' Chen Yang shook his head inwardly, looking regretful.

Behind him, Ya Fei looked at Chen Yang with a puzzled expression.

"Clan Chief Xiao, I know this request is a bit unreasonable, but please, for the sake of the Sect Master, dissolve the engagement..." As Ge Ye laid his cards on the table, the atmosphere in the hall froze.

Then, Xiao Zhan stood up and smashed the table with a single palm strike. A phantom lion's head appeared on his face, revealing his cultivation as a six-star Great Dou Master.

"Six stars???"

"When did the clan leader break through?"

The three elders were about to mock Xiao Zhan when they were shocked by his strength as a six-star Great Dou Master.

If Xiao Zhan were only a five-star Great Dou Master, then he would still need to be wary of the three of them joining forces.

But at this point, Xiao Zhan was already a six-star Great Dou Master...

Moreover, no one knows whether Xiao Zhan will continue to break through.

'When did this guy break through? Didn't the intelligence say he was a five-star Great Dou Master?' Ge Ye stood in front of Nalan Yanran, looking at Xiao Zhan with a furrowed brow.

The two are only one star apart, and his cultivation technique is a level lower than Xiao Zhan's. If they really fight, he might not be able to gain the upper hand.

"Uncle Xiao!" Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Nalan Yanran hurriedly shouted.

Xiao Zhan gave Nalan Yanran a cold look for two and a half seconds, but in the end he had no choice but to withdraw his fighting spirit and slump into a chair.

"Niece Nalan, what courage you have! Nalan Su is truly envious of having a daughter like you!" Xiao Zhan shook his head bitterly, his voice somewhat hoarse as he spoke.
