Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 206 Lei Yuan Grass!

The night was cool and still.

The moon hangs high in the sky.

At the Mittel family manor, Xiao Bai was brought here by Hai Bodong with a helpless expression.

"Alright! Stop making that face. It's your first day in Gama Holy City, and I'm already telling you to find your own accommodation? Isn't that a slap in the face to me, Hai Bodong?"

"Don't worry, I'll have someone tidy up the house. You can move in whenever you want!"

As he spoke, he pushed open the door of an exquisite little courtyard house and went in first. Behind him, Xiao Bai and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance and had no choice but to follow.

After the three were seated in the room, Hai Bodong looked at the ring on Xiao Yan's hand and said in a slightly respectful tone:

"Greetings, senior!"

While he was with the Xiao family, he received some guidance on cultivation from an old doctor; otherwise, he wouldn't have recovered so quickly in the past two years.

"My teacher asked me to tell Elder Hai that he's alright, please keep an eye on him!" Xiao Yan chuckled and relayed the reply.

Hai Bodong nodded, then noticed the alchemist badge on Xiao Yan's chest, and couldn't help but sigh:

"I didn't expect you to have already advanced to a second-grade alchemist. At such a young age, that's truly remarkable!"

"Just a fluke!" Xiao Yan smiled faintly.

"Hehe, there's no such thing as luck in this world! Although I've spent most of the past two years in seclusion, I still know a lot about the Gama Empire."

Hai Bodong smiled and shook his head, then turned his gaze to Xiao Bai beside him and joked:

"The Yunlan Sect has been making frequent moves lately, issuing warrants for the arrest of individuals possessing white and cyan strange flames. At first, I thought they were looking for you, and I even sent people to inquire about it, but I later learned that it was Xiao Yan!"

"Oh? Elder Hai, do you know what's going on with the Yunlan Sect right now?" Xiao Bai's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he asked in a deep voice.

"From what I understand, the Yunlan Sect is quite mysterious!"

Hai Bodong frowned and hesitated before saying:

"The Dou Huang's sect leader power has been rendered ineffective, and Yun Ling, a Dou Wang, has ascended to the position. There are no signs of struggle in between, and he is no longer as low-key as before, but rather making frequent moves, which makes that old man in the royal family quite nervous!"

"And there's a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not, that the Yunlan Sect Master and Pill King Gu He seem to be planning a marriage alliance. Damn!"

Before Hai Bodong could finish speaking, a fierce and overwhelming aura suddenly erupted, and in an instant, the entire courtyard shook as if it were about to collapse.

Even with his current cultivation level of a five-star Dou Huang, he was somewhat terrified by this aura.

"What did you say? A marriage alliance?"

His voice, uttering each word slowly and deliberately, through gritted teeth, was like a chilling wind from the depths of hell, icy and biting, as if it could freeze one's soul.

Looking at Xiao Bai, who was baring his teeth and glaring as if he wanted to devour someone, his entire body was surging with energy, his body like a blazing furnace, surrounded by a faint halo of blood-red mist, within which arcs of multicolored lightning danced.

While Hai Bodong was shocked, his mind raced, wondering what had suddenly gone mad!

It's just that the Yunlan Sect Master and Pill King Guhe got married! Why is it being acted like he stole his wife?

Wait for my wife?

Damn it, could this kid be having an affair with the Yunlan Sect Master?

Thinking of this, Hai Bodong had no time to be surprised. He struggled to circulate his battle qi to resist the force of the attack and hurriedly shouted:

"Rumors... Don't take rumors seriously. If the two of them really had something going on, the Yunlan Sect would have already informed all the other factions!"

"And another thing, if you don't tone down your aura, Xiao Yan will faint!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai glanced at Xiao Yan, who was about to roll his eyes back, and gradually withdrew his aura.

"call"

After a moment, Xiao Yan's pale face gradually regained its color. He gasped for breath, his fists clenched, and he looked at Xiao Bai with a resentful yet slightly apologetic gaze.

"Brother Bai! Please let me know next time so I can run far away. Otherwise, I can't accept dying like this; it's too frustrating and too unjust!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan desperately craved strength. Damn it, without strength, he couldn't even withstand a bit of Brother Bai's aura. This feeling was too unbearable.

"And what's with all the excitement about Furukawa's wedding?"

"!" said the old medicine doctor.

That foolish apprentice!

Judging from Xiao Bai's performance just now, he clearly guessed that the Dou Huang woman he encountered in the Monster Mountain Range and the desert must be the Yunlan Sect Master.

Otherwise, given his indifferent and detached nature, how could he have been so angry just now!

Haha, why am I so excited? If Nalan Yanran hadn't broken off the engagement, you'd be calling me "Grandmaster," so why would I be excited?

Xiao Bai glanced at Xiao Yan with annoyance, too lazy to bother with this fool, and looked at Hai Bodong to ask:

"So, Yun Leng is now in charge of the Yunlan Sect?"

"Not bad! This guy, as the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect, has a strong desire for power and is quite dissatisfied with Sect Master Yun Yun's indifferent nature, but due to insufficient cultivation, he has never dared to show it. This time, I don't know why, he suddenly stood up for himself!"

Hai Bodong nodded, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. Since that old fellow Yunshan went into seclusion, he had not appeared in the world for many years. He didn't know whether he was in seclusion or had passed away.

I don't know where Yun Ling got the courage to seize power, but he actually succeeded!

Could it be that the old guy really broke through?

Xiao Bai calmed down, pondered for a moment, and compared the information with the information in his mind. He then had a pretty good understanding of the whole situation.

It's likely that Guhe discovered the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, which was then known to Protector Nawu, leading him to suspect that it was related to Yao Lao. This prompted Yunshan to mobilize the resources of the Yunlan Sect to help find Yao Lao's whereabouts.

Yunshan then assigned this task to Yunzhi. Yunzhi knew about Xiaoyan's relationship with him and was unwilling to obey, which led to Yunling's rise to power.

"She was coerced by Yunshan!"

Having roughly reconstructed the truth of the matter, Xiao Bai knew that this rumor was not unfounded. Given Yunshan's character in the original work, the possibility was as high as 80%.

"Hehe... Ancient River, Cloud Ridge, Cloud Mountain!"

Xiao Bai sneered inwardly. Originally, because of Yun Zhi, he didn't want to take too many actions against the Yunlan Sect, but these guys really were...

You're asking for it!

Seeing the cold glint in Xiao Bai's eyes, Hai Bodong was speechless. It seemed that the Yunlan Sect was in for trouble!

Yun Yun is currently unemployed and seems to have a close relationship with this young man. If he really has the heart to be ruthless, is there anyone in the Yunlan Sect who can stop him?

Unless Yunshan breaks through to the Dou Zong realm!

Otherwise, rely on Yunling?

Hai Bodong shook his head. Looking at the overwhelming aura that Xiao Bai had just unleashed, although the two of them were both at the peak of the Dou Wang realm, Yun Leng probably couldn't withstand even a single slap.

I don't know how this kid cultivated, he actually reached this level in just two years. Even if he faced him, I'm afraid he wouldn't gain the slightest advantage.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel fortunate that I met him in Stone Desert City back then and had a good relationship with him.

Otherwise, before the Yunlan Sect even suffers its misfortune, the Mittel family will be wiped out of the Gama Empire today!

Further investment in Beijing.

Just as Xiao Bai unleashed his full power and erupted...

Several pairs of eyes in the city were looking in the direction of the Mittel family.

The palace, the back mountain, and the top of the mountain.

Beside a beautiful lake, an old man in hemp clothing stood with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked in the direction from which the aura was bursting forth, and he couldn't help but frown.

"Did someone come knocking on Old Man Bing's door today? This aura is so unfamiliar. When did such a powerful figure arrive in the imperial city?"

As he spoke, a hint of worry flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes.

"Recently, undercurrents have been surging within the empire. The Yunlan Sect has become increasingly arrogant, and now the Mittel family is also beginning to experience changes, seemingly becoming unstable as well!"

Turning around, looking at the dark lake surface, feeling the deep yet slightly weak energy beneath, he murmured softly:

"Old friend, it seems we must find a way to restore you, otherwise, my royal family..."

In the north of the city stands a massive mansion.

The plaque in front of the gate is illuminated by the moonstones on both sides, shimmering with a faint golden light, exuding an air of nobility.

The three characters "Nalan Mansion" written in a bold and unrestrained style reveal the status of the owner.

Inside the mansion, in a spacious room, in the center, there was a large bed, on which lay an old man with a withered face.

"Ahem. That aura just now, was it from the direction of the Mittel family?" The old man's eyes were filled with death, and he looked like he was about to die, but there was still a hint of arrogance between his brows.

Beside the bed stood a middle-aged man who looked quite imposing, bowing as he replied:

"Yes, Father, there have been several energy fluctuations over there tonight!"

"Alas, this empire is already beginning to fall into turmoil!" After saying this, the old man seemed very tired, slowly closed his eyes, and sighed.

"Father, do not worry. You are the Marshal of the Empire, and Yanran is the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect. No matter how the Empire changes, it will not affect my Nalan family!" the middle-aged man said proudly.

"Heh. Naive. The Yunlan Sect and the royal family are now sworn enemies. Both sides only need a tiny spark to ignite a war. What choice will my Nalan family make then?"

The old man suddenly opened his eyes, looked at his good-for-nothing son, and although his voice was low, his tone was very sharp.

"How foolish! After I leave, how can I entrust the vast Nalan family to you?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Father, don't worry, you'll be alright. Yanran is already secretly searching for an alchemist who possesses a different kind of fire; presumably..."

"Tell her not to worry about it. It's rare to find someone with a unique fire, and yet they're wanted by the Yunlan Sect. It seems this is fate, old man. Perhaps this is heaven's punishment for my broken promise?"

The old man interrupted the middle-aged man, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.

Time passed, and the night went by quietly.

The following morning.

Xiao Bai sat cross-legged on the bed, a wisp of multicolored lightning dancing nimbly like a sprite at his fingertips.

Crash!

A small, palm-sized dark cloud covered it, with streaks of silver lightning flashing through it.

"It's finally starting to take shape!"

Xiao Bai watched this scene with bright eyes, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

After leaving Tagor, his cultivation had already reached the peak of Dou Wang. To break through, he only needed a Dou Ling Pill, but he did not do so.

Once a breakthrough is achieved, a new minefield will be encountered.

This lightning seed is different from the ones before. In the past, he could guess what the lightning seed was.

But now that all five elements are complete, there's no clue what the next lightning seed will be.

If, after the breakthrough, the next lightning seed requires several months or even longer to refine, then it's all over.

By the time they emerged, the Xiao family would likely be finished!

As for Xiao Yanzi, there's no need to worry. This guy is destined for greatness and shouldn't die. However, it seems that Old Man Yao will have to go to the Soul Palace early for the New Year!

Therefore, he will not break through to the Douhuang level until the matter of the Yunlan Sect is resolved.

During this period when he couldn't cultivate, he didn't stay idle. He took advantage of the feeling of resonating with the energy of heaven and earth after advancing to the Dou Wang level.

I want to try and see if I can use this feeling, along with my soul power, to see if I can connect with heaven and earth, link my own energy, and gather the lightning attribute energy between heaven and earth.

This generates heavenly thunder, which obeys its commands!

Looking at the thundercloud in his palm, Xiao Bai knew that his idea had already made a breakthrough from zero to one. The next step was to improve and expand its scope.

"Hehe. No rush, take your time!"

Xiao Bai withdrew his gaze from the thunderclouds, his slender fingers clenching lightly to extinguish the leaping, multicolored arc of lightning at his fingertips.

As the lightning arc dissipated, the small cloud of thunder above it also gradually dispersed.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of urgent knocks sounded at the door. Xiao Bai's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he instantly knew who it was. There were only two people who dared to knock on his door so brazenly.

With a slight tremor, the figure vanished from the bed and reappeared at the living room table.

"Come in!"

Xiao Bai waved and opened the door, where he saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing outside.

"Hey, good morning, Brother Xiao!"

"Hey, good morning, Brother Bai!"

Zi Yan and Xiao Yan both greeted the black-robed figure in the room with beaming smiles.

With a slight shift in his gaze, Xiao Bai observed the two of them and knew perfectly well that they needed his help.

However, he had a rough idea of ​​what Xiao Yan was up to, but why was this little Zi Yan getting involved? Wasn't she going to play with Ya Fei?

"Brother Bai, you're famous now, did you know that?"

After greeting him, Xiao Yan walked over and plopped down next to him. He poured a cup of tea from the teapot on the table, took a big gulp, and then eagerly spoke:

"Today I went to the Alchemists' Guild to collect the ingredients for the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, and all I heard along the way was people talking about you!"

"oh!"

"Hey, Bai-ge, aren't you curious about what they're saying about you?" Seeing Xiao Bai's indifferent expression, Xiao Yan clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

"Not curious!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, which seemed eager to gossip, Xiao Bai shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand, and smiled:

"Take out the medicinal herbs!"

"Tch!" Xiao Yan took out some medicinal herbs from his storage ring, placed them on the table, and said dejectedly, "Brother Bai, you're not even twenty yet! How come you live like an old man!"

Xiao Bai ignored the energetic young man, casually tidying up the medicinal herbs on the table, and glanced at the big eyes that were staring at him expectantly as he moved closer to him.

"Speak! What do you want?"

"The sugar pills are gone!" Zi Yan blinked her eyes and said pitifully.

"!" Looking at that pained little face, Xiao Bai found it a bit amusing and asked softly, "Are there any more medicinal herbs?"

"Yes, yes!" Zi Yan nodded repeatedly, waving her small hand as she took out a bunch of things from her storage ring.

Looking at the mountain of medicinal herbs on the table, Xiao Bai's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"Thunder Element Grass!"
