Battle Through the Heavens: Who put Laozi in my storage ring?

Moreover, just a few days ago, Ya Fei personally brought an invitation from the Alchemist Guild, asking him to participate in this Alchemist Competition as a referee.

"Oh, right..."

Xiao Yan paused, took out a black gauze robe from his storage ring, put it on, and had three gold stars tattooed on his chest, symbolizing his strength as a third-grade alchemist.

Ya Fei lightly covered her red lips, finding it somewhat amusing, and teased, "What, our sixth-grade alchemy master is actually planning to disguise himself as a third-grade alchemist to participate in the competition?"

"I don't have that plan, but strictly speaking, I am indeed a third-grade alchemist certified by the Alchemist Guild now," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Today, countless people have come from the capital of Jiama, and the streets and alleys are packed with people heading towards the competition venue. Many people are shocked and filled with awe when they see the three golden stars on Xiao Yan's chest.

Many women cast flirtatious glances and showered her with flowers, almost overwhelming the nearby Consort Ya.

Seeing that they were still quite a distance from the stadium, Xiao Yan whispered in his ear, "Hold me tight."

Before Ya Fei could react, he gently embraced the beauty's waist, picked her up in a princess carry, and with a sudden tremor of his pale golden wings, his figure transformed into a golden light that shot straight into the sky, reaching the edge of the Gama Empire Square in the blink of an eye.

It slowly fell.

At this moment, the army still blocked the outside of the arena. Many people only saw a flash of golden light and thought it was a shooting star. Only a very few people were shocked and muttered "Battle King" level experts.

"I never expected you would have this skill." Ya Fei's legs felt a little weak, and she supported Xiao Yan's arm, a look of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Hai Lao and the others haven't arrived yet?" Xiao Yan looked around. This was the opposite side of the spectator stands, which were considered VIP seats. There weren't many seats, but they were quite spacious.

"It'll be soon..." Ya Fei said with a smile.

She caught sight of several figures approaching, stretched out her fair, delicate arms, and cupped her hands in a trumpet shape to her lips: "Here!"

"Ya Fei, you've all arrived so early?" One of the women, a tall woman in her early twenties with a mature and aloof air, smiled. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Xiao Yan unconsciously, a hint of fervor flashing in them. "And this gentleman, aren't you going to introduce him?"

She controlled the 50,000 soldiers stationed outside the square, and the commotion she had just caused naturally reached her ears. Golden wings, seventeen or eighteen years old, and close ties with the Mittel family, plus recent rumors that he had arrived in the capital—now everything made sense.

It's said that the Alchemist Association sent him an invitation to be a referee this time, and unexpectedly, he actually agreed!

"Yes, he's actually a third-grade alchemist?"

The girl following behind Yao Ye was shocked. Even she had only recently reached the third-grade alchemist level, but she never expected that the Jia Ma Empire would be full of hidden talents.

Liu Ling raised an eyebrow and glanced at Xiao Yan with some suspicion.

I just had a feeling that something was off.

"Nalan Yanran didn't come?" Ya Fei smiled, but there was clearly a hint of pride in her beautiful eyes. She knew that Yao Ye had already discovered Xiao Yan's identity.

"Yanran had some family troubles, so she arrived a little late," Princess Yaoyue explained.

Yao Yue clearly noticed something unusual, especially since the young man dared to get so close to Ya Fei, their relationship was obviously not ordinary. Did she not know that the madman Mu Zhan had arrived in the capital today?

And the Mittel family doesn't care at all?

"This is..." Ya Fei's red lips curved into a smile, about to introduce her.

The next instant, a powerful and ruthless attack came crashing down, slamming into Xiao Yan's face.

"pat~"

But in the next instant, the fierce, emerald-green fighting spirit shrank back into its body like a mouse encountering a cat. The sudden iron fist was firmly gripped by Xiao Yan's hand, unable to advance even an inch.

The exchange lasted only a moment, and even Ya Fei's beautiful eyes trembled, her red lips parted slightly, and she looked at the attacker with shock and anger... Mu Zhan.

Xiao Yan suddenly waved his hand, and Mu Zhan was thrown back dozens of steps, almost sliding to the edge of the stands.

"Good lad, you've got some skills!" Mu Zhan felt a hint of surprise flash across his eyes as his attack was casually blocked, then said mockingly.

Surrounded by Yao Ye, she frowned slightly, her slender hand clenching into a dark black spear that appeared in her hand. She held it against Mu Zhan's throat, her sharp and piercing aura barely concealed: "Mu Zhan, this is not your Mu family. If you want to cause trouble, I can play along with you."

Yao Yue was stunned by her sister's "backstabbing." She had been happily watching the drama unfold, wanting to test the young man's strength, but she never expected her sister to take action directly.

Liu Ling was equally taken aback. Given Yao Ye's composure, she shouldn't have offended the Mu family so much for a man she had only met once.

After all, the marriage between the Mu family and the Mittel family was almost a preordained arrangement in their subconscious, and other families naturally wouldn't interfere.

"Your name is Mu Zhan?"

Xiao Yan ignored the people around him, smiled and looked at the thick-browed man who had directly attacked him with force, and said.

"So what if she is? How dare you lay a finger on my woman?" Mu Zhan sneered, a fierce look appearing on his face, and at the same time, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yan.

"good……"

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, full of approval.

"In that case, how about we make a bet?"

"Take one of my moves, and if you can withstand it, I will spare your life."

"If we can't handle it..."

Xiao Yan smiled brightly, "Then, go die."

Chapter 56 Nalan Yanran: Is Xiao Yan really Xiao Yan?! (Two chapters combined)

Having said that, a powerful aura surged from his body, and two enormous fire dragon phantoms seemed to condense behind him. His vertical pupils indifferently looked down at Mu Zhan in front of him, while the latter's original playfulness and ease vanished, replaced by extreme terror.

This guy is a Dou Wang level expert!

No, even the commanders in the army who were also Dou Wang level experts had seen the other party unleash their power, but none of them had ever witnessed such terrifying power.

This is... a Battle Emperor!!!

"Pfft~"

Mu Zhan coughed up blood, his body struggling to kneel on the ground, his bones cracking under the pressure, his face pale, and he couldn't even lift his head.

"Strange fire! And two of them..."

Liu Ling's pupils suddenly contracted. When he saw Xiao Yan looking at him, he quickly covered his mouth, his throat bobbing, and he looked away with some fear.

The crowd around them stared in shock at the young man brought by Consort Ya. He was clearly only seventeen or eighteen years old, yet he possessed such formidable power. Many intelligent people had already guessed his identity.

As a second-generation member, those who are foolish or slow-witted either go to fight on the front lines of the Gama Empire or are abandoned by their families, only needing to be used as a tool for marriage alliances; as long as they can survive, that's enough.

Those present were all elites and direct heirs of various families. Even Princess Yaoyue, who seemed naive, had her eyes shining. Clearly, she had vaguely guessed the truth from the moment her eldest sister attacked Mu Zhan, but had not verified it.

Until this moment...

This person is none other than Xiao Yan, who has been the subject of much discussion in the Jia Ma Empire recently!

"Two strange flames, it's a pity not to use them for alchemy..." Liu Ling said with a hint of regret.

"How do you know they don't make medicine?" the little princess chuckled.

"Hiss~" Liu Ling's pupils suddenly contracted. Generally speaking, alchemists correspond to a cultivation level one rank higher. If he really was alchemizing, wouldn't that mean...

"But the Mu family is probably in for a rough time." The little princess spoke casually, but her eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan. She licked her lips lightly. If she missed this opportunity, she might never have the chance to meet a top genius of this age again in her life.

As expected of the true dragon in Grandpa's words, with his tall and slender figure, two dragons protecting him, and a talent so extraordinary that it's hard to even think of chasing after him, which girl could resist him?

However, my older sister ate alone and didn't even bother to help me build up my relationship with her beforehand.

Thinking of this, Yao Yue glanced resentfully at the cold and beautiful woman in front of her.

"Well……"

"Xiao Yan?!"

On the other side, Hai Bodong and his group, who had noticed the commotion, came over and glanced at Xiao Yan with some surprise, and Mu Zhan, whose face was pale and who was almost pressed to the ground by the powerful aura.

He glanced at Ya Fei again and instantly understood what had happened.

There were three people beside him: a short old man with an inverted tripod on his head, a white-haired old man with a dignified and noble air and an aura of royalty, and an old man wearing a green robe with a smiling face.

The first two looked curious.

Only Hai Bodong glanced at Mu Chen and sighed softly: "We should give that person an explanation for today's events, otherwise... the Mu family may face annihilation."

To try and steal a woman from someone's head is truly... courting death.

But as the head of the Mu family, he has to shoulder any mess.

"I am Mu Chen, the head of the Mu family. I am unaware of what has happened here. Could you please tell me?" Mu Chen sensed something was wrong and his eyelids twitched violently upon hearing Hai Bodong's words. He stepped forward and bowed slightly.

Xiao Yan ignored him.

Ya Fei hurriedly stepped forward and explained the whole story. The more she explained, the more ashen Mu Chen's face turned, mixed with a hint of fear and pallor. This wretched child had actually attacked!

They still went too far.

If Xiao Yan hadn't been exceptionally strong, an ordinary young man would probably have been bedridden for months after just one blow. This feud was now irreconcilable.

Mu Chen's face turned pale and then red. After a long silence, he exhaled a long breath and knelt on the ground as well: "I am willing to give up half of the Mu family's wealth to exchange for your mercy. May I ask if that is possible?"

"Chieftain!"

Mu Zhan, lying on the ground, was flushed and still stubbornly refused to give up.

"Pfft~"

But in the next instant, his aura surged, pressing him so hard that he coughed up a mouthful of blood and was pinned to the ground like a dead pig, his bones almost shattering.

Xiao Yan spoke slowly, "You have no right to speak here..."

Having said that, he glanced indifferently at the white-haired old man kneeling on the ground: "Clan Chief of the Mu Clan?"

"It is I," Mu Chen said with a pleading expression.
