Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 182 Yun Yun's Wrath: The Mere Xiao Family

Protector Wu was not surprised by his superior's attitude. In the Dou Qi Continent, strength was paramount, and this was even more true in the Soul Palace.

While collecting souls, these people are also using souls to enhance their own strength.

Compared to the souls that were collected, none of them possessed the purest soul power of these guardians.

For someone who had risen through the ranks from the bottom, the backstabbing and mutual sabotage among colleagues was nothing new.

From then on, he never intended to claim all the credit for himself, let alone now that he had brought the matter to the branch hall and brought in help.

"More than two years ago, I sent my subordinate Soul Envoys to investigate a city in the Jia Ma Empire, but they never returned. Although no news came back, it only made me more certain of my suspicions," Protector Wu said methodically.

Upon hearing this, the Dharma protectors couldn't help but chuckle, their voices filled with mockery.

"I think the branch should find someone else to take charge of the control of this area of ​​the Gama Empire as soon as possible."

Protector Xuan snorted coldly, then proudly began to talk about the performance of the area he was in charge of.

"How chaotic is the Black Corner Region under my control? Not only have my subordinate Soul Envoys collected the most souls, but not a single one of them has ever perished."

Protector Wu smiled and said, "The Black Corner Region is indeed chaotic, but it has many powerful individuals who don't hold back when they fight, making it incomparable to other places. What I've discovered is far more valuable than collecting a few souls."

"Hmm?" The three slowly rotating black mists suddenly stopped. The Soul Palace has always calculated merits based on souls. What secret could give them such confidence?

The Silver Protector pressed further, "What did you discover?"

"An ancient family, descendants of the Xiao clan," Protector Wu said calmly.

"What!" The nonchalant tone of the voice startled the three guardians.

The Soul Palace has been searching for this group of people for nearly a thousand years. If they can find the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in their collection, it will be an unparalleled achievement.

Protector Wu was very satisfied with the three's reaction and continued, "The fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade that the Soul Palace has been searching for for a long time are very likely to be in Wutan City of the Jia Ma Empire."

"How can you be so sure?" the Silver Protector asked doubtfully. The Soul Palace had searched for a thousand years without any results.

Protector Wu explained, "The Xiao family of Wutan City was originally unremarkable, only showing some promise in recent decades, until a man named Xiao Lin appeared, and the Xiao family's development reached its peak."

"Xiao Lin has good talent and the potential to advance to the Dou Huang level. It was because of him that his family came into my view. However, he was very unlucky. He was severely injured by his enemies in his early years and then disappeared without a trace. He is probably dead."

"Afterwards, I sent a soul messenger there, ostensibly to gather information, but his death actually speaks volumes."

"I see." Protector Silver has become serious about this matter. Even if the bloodline of ancient families is very thin, mutations can still occur from time to time. What Protector Wu said is indeed very likely.

Protector Xuan said impatiently, "Now that we have the information, why not take action immediately? Even if someone has a mutated bloodline, they can be wiped out with a flick of our fingers in front of us four Dou Zongs."

Protector Wu said, "That was my original plan. However, in recent years, a Poison Sect has emerged in the Izumo Empire, which borders this place. In a short period of time, it has absorbed the forces of that country and even killed my Soul Palace Protector."

"Even in this remote and impoverished place, there's still a chance that some unknown powerful figures might emerge," Protector Wu said meaningfully. "We've finally gotten some leads on the matter of capturing the Xiao clan members, so we can't be reckless."

Thinking of the Seven-Star Dou Huang they encountered on their way here, the three guardians all calmed down.

The protector, who had remained silent until now, asked, "You're familiar with the affairs of the Gama Empire. What do you plan to do?"

Protector Wu, who had been hiding within the Yunlan Sect for some time, was very familiar with the situation here and had come prepared:

"Nalan Yanran, the disciple of the Yunlan Sect's leader, is engaged to a member of the Xiao clan. She is quite dissatisfied with this. Recently, she obtained a strange pill, which greatly improved her strength. Sooner or later, she will have a conflict with that group of Xiao clan members."

Protector Xuan quickly understood his intention: "Letting the people of Yunlan Sect lead the charge for us, while we wait in comfort, is indeed a good method."

"Heh heh, then let's wait and see how the Xiao clan reacts." The Silver Protector chuckled sinisterly and made the decision.

Next, they still need to avenge their second brother. The Poison Sect of the Izumo Empire is a powerful force that dominates the country. It would be best if the three guardians could avoid injury.

The following morning, in the main hall of the Yunlan Sect, more than a dozen figures stood on both sides of the hall, dressed in luxurious clothes, making it clear at a glance that they held high positions in the Yunlan Sect.

"Steward Nalan, what brings you here?" Yun Yun's cool voice, which contained a faint air of authority, suddenly rang out in the quiet hall.

The old man sighed, "Sect Leader Yun, after learning that Miss went to the Xiao family to annul the engagement, the poison in Master's body flared up, and he's now bedridden. He sent me here, hoping that Sect Leader Yun can send someone to bring Miss back. The Nalan family and the Xiao family are old friends..."

"A family friend?" Yun Yun frowned, and sneered, "A family friend who hasn't visited in over a decade?"

"Yanran is my personally taught disciple and will be the successor of the Yunlan Sect in the future. As her teacher, I am fully qualified to handle her personal matters. Moreover, this time, I have already given Yanran something that is enough to appease the Xiao family's resentment."

The old man's face remained etched with worry: "To have someone come to our door and break off the engagement is a disgrace that the entire Xiao family can never wash away..."

It would be fine if Yun Yun secretly sent someone to wipe out the Xiao family, but instead she brought gifts to support this family that was destined to become her enemy, which was not a wise decision at all.

Yun Leng, annoyed by the nagging servant, said, "They're just a small family in Wutan City. Do you expect our entire Yunlan Sect to go to the Xiao family?"

Faced with the pressure of a Dou Wang expert, the old man instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Yun Yun glanced at Yun Leng indifferently. No matter how low the steward's status was, he was still representing Nalan Jie today. However, she was also a little angry. What was the Xiao family? If they really went, the Xiao family probably wouldn't even dare to meet them.

"Go back and tell Nalan Jie that it's just a small Xiao family. The fact that I'm willing to have someone accompany Yanran to the Xiao family to explain things is already giving them a huge favor."

The old man nodded repeatedly. Compared to the behemoth that was the Yunlan Sect, the Xiao family, which no longer even had a Douling, was indeed insignificant.

"Let's leave it at that." With a wave of her hand, Yun Yun stood up, her gaze sweeping across the hall with an air of authority. "I will let Yanran decide her own marriage after she passes through the Gate of Life and Death. During this time, no one is allowed to disturb her cultivation."
