Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 227 Xiao Bai of the Xiao Family Comes to Pay Respects!

Seeing Yun Leng's actions, two loud shouts, each carrying a different emotion, rang out.

On the main seat of the high platform, Yun Yun, her face full of anger, suddenly stood up, her delicate body swayed slightly, and then vanished.

On the stone platform beside the square, Guhe also stood up anxiously, trying to stop Yunling's actions.

Just now, when Mr. Bai was mentioned, I suddenly remembered the woman sitting next to him when I visited him that night. If I'm not mistaken, that was Queen Medusa!

If the old sect leader were really summoned, and the two of them faced off, along with the mysterious Mr. Bai, and Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian on the field, the Yunlan Sect would definitely not gain any advantage.

It would be better to put today's matter aside for now and make plans for tomorrow!

Yun Leng seemed not to hear the two shouts. He brought the cloud flute to his lips and blew hard. A sharp sound with a strange rhythm suddenly burst out.

In the blink of an eye, it spread out, lingering throughout the entire summit of Yunlan Mountain, resounding in all directions.

The square was silent except for the sound of a flute, and all eyes were on the flute in Yun Leng's hand.

The azure light froze, and Yun Yun's delicate hand, which was about to snatch the cloud flute, stiffened. Her usually composed and serene face darkened slightly, and a complex mix of anger, anxiety, and helplessness flashed in her beautiful eyes.

So, we've finally come to this point!

As Jia Xingtian watched this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly. In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly realized something. His eyes trembled slightly, and his pupils contracted.

"That old guy... he's really not dead?!"

In mid-air, shaking off the three elders who were clinging to him like glue, Hai Bodong came to Xiao Yan's side. His eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly looked up into the depths of Yunlan Mountain, murmuring:

"That old guy really didn't die."

As soon as he finished speaking, a vast and majestic aura descended from the depths of the mountain behind the square, like an ancient dragon awakening, carrying an unparalleled pressure.

This immense aura quickly spread, enveloping the entire Yunlan Mountain. The people in the square trembled, their faces turning slightly pale.

In an instant, all the elders of the Yunlan Sect bowed deeply towards the source of the aura. Upon seeing this, the disciples in charge understood and hurriedly knelt down.

"Who is this?"

Hearing Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong's whispers, Xiao Yan's expression darkened. He had only ever seen one person with such imposing aura and pressure: Queen Medusa.

That's a Dou Zong!

The Yunlan Sect actually has a Dou Zong?

In a flash of inspiration, he suddenly understood why Brother Bai had been so cautious about the Yunlan Sect. It wasn't just the mysterious person; the Yunlan Sect itself also had Dou Zong level experts!

"Yunshan, Yunyun's teacher, the previous sect leader of the Yunlan Sect!"

Hai Bodong's eyes were serious, and his voice was low:

"This old guy really has incredible luck; he actually broke through the Dou Huang barrier and advanced to Dou Zong!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Jia Xingtian, whose face was grim beside him, and found it somewhat amusing. He said sarcastically:

"What's wrong, you old monster? Are you regretting repaying the favor? Or are you just jealous?"

"Old man Bing, stop with your sarcastic remarks. Jealous? Jealous of my foot! Regretful? I dared to do it, and I dare to take responsibility. Do you think I'm easily intimidated?"

Jia Xingtian's usual gentle expression vanished, his brows darkened, and he spoke in a sinister voice.

With his gaze fixed on the depths of Yunlan Mountain, a clear whistle suddenly rang out, and a figure in white robes appeared, stepping into the void as he slowly approached.

There were no energy wings behind him; with each step, ripples slowly spread through the void, as if he were walking on water.

With a single step, the person appeared hundreds of meters away; with a few more strides, the figure appeared above the stone tablet, and an intense pressure filled the entire square without restraint.

Dressed in a simple white robe, with white hair flowing down her shoulders and a face as warm as jade, she exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

"Old Sect Master."

Yun Leng let out a mournful cry, his face filled with anger, and stepped forward to complain, but Shang Kong Yun Shan merely glanced at him indifferently and waved his hand to stop him.

His eyes, as gentle as a breeze, fell on the two people standing in front of Xiao Yan, and he said in a calm voice:

"Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, considering our past friendship, if you retreat now, I can let you go without holding it against you."

"Haha. Leave? If you send me away with just a few words, where will I put my face? I still need to make a name for myself in the Gama Empire!"

Hai Bodong laughed loudly, stepped forward, and as he raised his palms, a burst of white, icy energy suddenly erupted, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.

"well"

After hesitating for a moment, Jia Xingtian gazed at Hai Bodong's retreating figure, sighed softly, and stepped forward to stand beside him. A thick aura of Mountain-Breaking Battle Qi surged from his body, his expression gradually becoming solemn. He shook his head and said:

"A Dou Zong! I'd like to see for myself!"

Seeing their reactions, Yunshan shook his head noncommittally, said no more, raised one hand, and spoke softly to the three below:

"Wind Wall!"

In the blink of an eye, a strong wind arose, and a huge wind wall that seemed to blot out the sky appeared. Its sheer size left the Yunlan Sect members below dumbfounded. This was a wind wall.

"Circular Ice Blade!"

"Mountain-Breaking Seal!"

The ice blade and the earthen yellow seal slammed into the deep blue wind wall, but only caused ripples without the slightest shaking.

Upon seeing this, Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong's expressions changed slightly. They exchanged glances, both somewhat incredulous. Although it was just a test, this wind barrier was even more terrifying than the Yunlan Sect's grand formation!

"Entangled by a myriad of winds!"

Seeing that the three were trapped by the wind barrier, Yunshan clenched his fist, and a sudden gust of wind gathered. Long ropes made of wind power, like long blue snakes, darted through the void and surged toward the three.

There were too many ropes in the wind wall, and the wind wall was constantly shrinking, making their space for maneuvering smaller and smaller.

Xiao Yan was the first to be hung up.

Next, Hai Bodong was joined by Xing Tian.

Every time they broke one, countless more would roar up and wrap around them.

"There seemed to be a strange fluctuation on those ropes just now, like the power of space!" Looking at this scene, a strong sense of apprehension flashed in Fama's cloudy eyes.

He hadn't expected that Hai Bodong and his companion would be subdued so easily!

A Dou Zong is indeed no match for a Dou Huang!

"You've lost!"

Amidst the stunned expressions of countless people, Yunshan moved with a single step, surrounded by a gentle breeze, and appeared as if by ghostly grace not far in front of the three, speaking in a calm voice.

As she finished speaking, her gaze shifted slightly, landing on Xiao Yan, a hint of curiosity and surprise flickering in her eyes.

Is this the person that strange guy is looking for?

His demeanor is quite good, but his strength is rather weak!

I really don't understand why someone with that person's strength would always seem somewhat wary of him.

He shook his head slightly, raised his hand, and a giant palm formed from the power of wind instantly grabbed towards Xiao Yan.

Looking at this scene, Jia Xingtian felt a faint sense of despair, while Hai Bodong remained calm.

"teacher"

Just as Yun Yun was about to plead for mercy, a sudden change occurred.

A chilling yet intensely hot aura suddenly erupted from Xiao Yan's body, instantly snapping the wind ropes binding him, and he appeared like a ghost in front of Yun Shan.

Feeling the approaching gust of wind, Yunshan's expression changed slightly. He stomped his foot, and ripples spread around him as his figure was about to disappear.

"Heh. Playing with spatial manipulation in front of me? You, a mere show-off Dou Zong, are not worthy!"

The old apothecary chuckled mockingly, and a powerful surge of soul force suddenly erupted, driving a pale white flame to adhere to the spatial ripples.

In an instant, the regular ripples suddenly swayed, like the chaotic waves created by countless pebbles scattered on the water's surface.

Yunshan was suddenly freed from the spatial ripples, and a sense of shock surged in his heart. Seeing the strong wind already approaching, he had no time to think. A thick azure wind power surged out and attached itself to his body.

"Bang!"

With a soft sound, Yunshan felt a tightness in his chest and his body suddenly retreated several steps in mid-air.

"Ahem. Something's definitely fishy!"

After clearing his throat twice, Yunshan regained his senses. Thinking of his self-proclaimed title earlier, his pupils contracted slightly. Ordinary people are not qualified to be called "Zun" (尊), only "Dou Zun" (斗尊) is qualified!

Seeing that Yunshan was alright, Yao Lao sighed softly, his plan to conserve his soul energy thwarted.

Unexpectedly, the Yunlan Sect actually had a Dou Zong. They had been waiting for the best opportunity to strike and severely injure this person, but this guy was very vigilant and did not get close.

Startled for a moment, Yun Shan frowned slightly, realizing he had been frightened. If he had truly been a Dou Zun expert, this attack would likely have been enough to send him to his death.

"So that's what it was. Just a mere soul, huh. No wonder he was looking for you."

Yunshan smiled coldly and said slowly:

"No matter what your cultivation level was before, even if you were a Dou Zun, today you will not leave my Yunlan Sect!"

"Duck Protector!"

The latest novel is first published here!

"This person is yours!"

Upon hearing Yunshan's words, the crowd in the silent square, dazzled by the series of unexpected events, were startled.

There are actually strong individuals here?

Wasn't today all about announcing a broken engagement and a duel between two great martial arts masters?

How did this back-and-forth turn into a battle of Dou Zong?

In the past, Dou Zong were legendary powerhouses in the Jia Ma Empire, and no one had ever seen them before, but today they have appeared one after another.

I wonder if any more powerful figures will emerge later!

Hehehe

Just as everyone was astonished, a strange laugh suddenly rang out, spreading in all directions.

Those in the audience who were unaware of what was happening felt a chill run down their spines for no apparent reason.

From the main hall of the Yunlan Sect, endless black mist surged forth, like a thick plume of black smoke rising into the sky, slowly condensing in the air above the plaza, transforming into a deep mist cloud about ten feet in diameter.

"What is this?" The Yunlan Sect disciples were shocked. How could such a strange person be hidden in the sect's main hall?

"Teacher" Nalan Yanran suddenly looked up at Yun Yun, her gaze filled with surprise and doubt. How could the young sect leader be completely unaware of this matter!

Yun Yun ignored her, staring at the black mist with a shocked expression. This kind of appearance, and this black mist that looked so unpleasant, was obviously not a good thing. Why would it appear in Yunlan Sect?

It's a teacher!

Thinking of the teacher's change, Yun Yun's face turned ugly, and she felt inexplicably uneasy. Today's matter was no longer something she could interfere with.

At this point, it's clear that both sides were well-prepared.

"Finally, it's here!"

On a mountain peak not far from Yunlan Mountain, Xiao Bai, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, slowly got up, and looked up at the opposite mountain peak.

He had been waiting.

His real target is to wait for this Protector Wu to appear!

The three-year agreement was not important to him, and Xiao Yan didn't need him to worry about it.

What he wanted was for the Xiao family to not repeat the tragedy of Xiao Zhan's disappearance and the extermination of the entire family, as depicted in the original story!

The root of all this lies with this Protector Wu, as for Yun Leng...

A clown who jumps around like a bird, easily destroyed with a flick of the finger!

Let's go!

Xiao Bai turned around, chuckled at Cai Lin, who was lazily leaning against a tree not far behind him, and then energy wings appeared behind him as he soared into the sky.

Watching his retreating figure, Cai Lin's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. She took a step forward with her long, slender legs, and her figure gradually disappeared as she followed him.

"Hehehe, Yao Chen, I never expected you to actually come to me, this protector. Back then, you escaped by sheer luck, but it was a nightmare for my Soul Palace!"

"If we capture you today, the Palace Master will be very pleased!"

Amidst the swirling black mist, eerie laughter echoed like the cawing of crows over the square.

"A bunch of rats! If you hadn't helped that beast attack me back then, would you, a mere protector, dare to stand before me and speak like this?"

Upon seeing the familiar black mist, a flash of pain crossed Yao Lao's eyes, which then turned cold and indifferent, like ice that had stood for millennia. His voice was filled with anger and killing intent.

"Not bad! You have a physical body, so this protector certainly wouldn't dare to provoke you. But unfortunately, you're currently just a soul. Hehehe, my Soul Palace loves souls the most!"

A sinister laugh rang out. The black mist gradually contracted, slowly condensing into a black smoky figure, with a pair of crimson eyes appearing and disappearing within the mist.

"Yunshan, catch that kid in a minute, and remember, alive!"

"He's just a Grand Battle Master, I'll have someone capture him in a bit!" Yunshan nodded, though he didn't understand why he specifically instructed him to do so.

"No, I want you to do it yourself!" Protector Wu glanced at Xiao Yan and waved his hand.

Why?

Yunshan frowned slightly. This Protector Wu was being too cautious about that young Great Dou Master. Could it be that he still had a soul body?

"Because his surname is Xiao!"

Protector Wu's eyes became slightly solemn. He was unaware of the inside story, but the Soul Palace had always had two main tasks: one was to collect soul bodies, and the other was to find a family surnamed Xiao.

There are too many people with the surname Xiao in the world. The Soul Palace has been searching for so many years without any results. He had not paid much attention to the Xiao family before, as it was just a family whose highest cultivation level was only Great Dou Master.

But things are different now. Since I'm connected to Yao Chen, I have to go and see him no matter what!

Having said that, he ignored Yunshan and with a flick of his hand, a jet-black chain extended out with a whooshing sound, tearing through the sky and stabbing violently towards Yao Lao.

Hearing their conversation, Yao Lao's eyes flickered slightly. He glanced at the restless Yun Shan, but ignored him. He looked at the chains that were coming from the sky, his face was icy cold, and with a wave of his arm, a white flame surged in his hand and shot out violently.

Seeing Protector Wu collide with the soul entity, Yun Shan's indifferent gaze slowly fell on Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan slowly exhaled, though he didn't know why that black mist bastard wanted to capture him, and why he seemed so cautious about it.

Is it wrong to have the surname Xiao?

Meeting Yunshan's gaze, Xiao Yan's expression gradually became serious.

Knowing it's going to be difficult, since that's the case, then we have no choice but to use our trump card!

He cleared his throat.

"Brother Bai, help me!!"

In the quiet square, apart from the sounds of battle clashing overhead, there was no other sound. Xiao Yan's shout immediately drew everyone's attention.

Yunshan looked around in surprise and doubt, but found nothing unusual. He looked at Xiao Yan suspiciously, wondering if this kid was playing a trick on him.

Seeing the strange looks around him, Xiao Yan's face darkened, and he looked slightly embarrassed. He cursed inwardly, "Has that guy forgotten?"

Just as everyone was having doubts...

A faint rumble of thunder sounded, and the sky began to darken, with dark clouds gathering and churning within the clouds.

Sensing the ever-gathering powerful energy, Yunshan's expression changed slightly. He stomped his foot and soared into the air.

"Who dares to offend my Yunlan Sect!"

"Xiao Bai of the Xiao family has come to pay his respects at the mountain!"
