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

Chapter 207 Nalan Yanran: Teacher, I regret it

The matter was handled very well, and Xiao Zhan and the three elders were naturally overjoyed.

They immediately set up a banquet so that Xiao Yan and the others could have a late lunch.

After the meal, Yun Yun and her apprentice went to their residence in the Xiao family, while Xiao Yan went alone to the back mountain of the Xiao family.

Having experienced the battle at Yunlan Sect, he gained many new insights into the path of cultivation, which he needed to organize carefully.

As for the newly appeared protectors of the Soul Palace, Xiao Yan didn't pay too much attention to them.

On the way back, he told some lies.

If the bloody battle continues, and if we can stop that eight-star Dou Zong guardian from devouring souls, then with the help of the 'Flame God,' defeating it will be no big deal.

However, since the Soul Hall's protectors all have their soul imprints left within the Soul Hall, it would be foolish for the Soul Hall not to take any action if four protectors suddenly died at the same time in the Cloud Mist Sect.

It should be noted that in an empire, there is at most only one human-level or earth-level protector.

An eight-star Dou Zong must have a higher status and must be ranked among the Heavenly level.

The Centipede Cliff Puppet captured the guardian's soul but did not crush it. In addition to absorbing its soul power, it also preserved its soul imprint.

As for why they didn't fight to the death in the end, besides Yunshan and the Soul Hall protectors backing down, it was also because Xiao Yan was very clear that the Soul Hall was not a charity established by the Soul Clan on the Dou Qi Continent.

The fact that the four guardians not only failed to complete their mission but also suffered injuries themselves proves their incompetence.

If the Soul Palace Protector doesn't try to remedy the situation but instead proactively leaks the information to the Soul Palace, he might not only fail to gain any merit but also die at his own hands first.

Moreover, the Soul Palace's preferred method of attacking with countless souls was not revealed this time, and the four guardians were not in despair.

"Three years later, we will first destroy this group of Soul Hall protectors of the Yunlan Sect, and then destroy the Soul Hall branch of the Tianxin Empire in the Tianzangjian Valley."

Xiao Yan clenched his fist; he never intended to waste this intelligence.

Even the worst branch of the Soul Palace still has two hall masters, a principal and a deputy, both of whom are respected elders.

Two Dou Zun level experts—this kind of lineup can only be defeated after he has cultivated for a while longer.

Thinking of the heavy responsibility three years from now, Xiao Yan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, concentrated and sat quietly in the dense forest, sorting out his cultivation insights.

Although it is said that "fortune changes every thirty years," as time goes by, once the Soul Emperor's talent is exhausted and his strength reaches a limit, he can easily be overtaken by a genius with even stronger talent.

However, everyone on the Dou Qi Continent is cultivating, and not everyone's final destination is fixed from birth.

Cultivating a technique based on the "Burning Technique," various exotic flames merge, resulting not only in the evolution of the flames' quality but also in a significant surge in the cultivator's strength.

With this continuous advancement, Xiao Yan believed that everyone had the opportunity to reach the level of "Never underestimate a young person's potential".

Especially since he started cultivating from the womb, he spent a very long time in the Battle Qi stage, which accounted for almost two-thirds of his cultivation journey.

He has a wealth of experience in enhancing qualifications and unlocking a person's potential.

By combining the practice of a series of incineration techniques with the recent mastery of two self-cultivation techniques, "Bodhi Three Enlightenments" and "Diamond Four Corrects," the vast experience gradually became tangible.

Originally, Xiao Yan only wanted to use his recent Buddhist practice to create a powerful cultivation technique for his father, whose aptitude was relatively average. Now, the ultimate goal of this idea has been elevated to a much higher level.

As Xiao Yan entered a state of deep comprehension, the setting sun gradually disappeared on the horizon, the orange hue in the sky faded, and a full moon rose, as if draping the earth in a mysterious veil.

In a courtyard of the Xiao family estate, upon hearing the door open, Yun Yun, who was sitting quietly in front of her dressing table, turned to look at the person who entered: "Yanran, why aren't you resting so late?"

"Teacher..." Nalan Yanran walked gracefully into the room, her beautiful hair flowing freely, giving her a unique charm.

Yun Yun slowly rose, her long, black hair falling naturally, and asked gently, "Are you not used to life at the Xiao family's residence?"

"Don't worry too much about letting you stay in the Xiao family. It was just Xiao Yan's mother trying to scare you. She won't keep you here for long. Your teacher will take you away in three months," Yun Yun said with a faint smile.

Nalan Yanran shook her head slightly; she hadn't come here for these reasons.

"Teacher...you...you know Xiao Yan?" Nalan Yanran bit her thin lips, her somewhat dim eyes looking straight at her teacher.

Upon hearing this question, Yun Yun suddenly found her gaze somewhat unfocused and evasive.

This was extremely rare after she became the head of a sect.

After a moment of inner turmoil, Yun Yun forcibly suppressed her emotions and said softly, "I encountered it before in the Monster Mountain Range."

"But he used a different name back then, and I had never met him before, so I didn't recognize him." Yun Yun sighed slightly.

"He really likes to hide things..." Nalan Yanran said bitterly.

Her fiancé, whom she had never taken seriously, had actually already cultivated to the Dou Huang level. This was a blow to her, who was already overjoyed at reaching the level of a six-star Dou Zhe, and was worse than death.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun nodded in deep agreement and sighed softly.

When she learned that Yao Yan was Xiao Yan, she was also incredibly shocked.

Who would have thought that the powerful family that guy was talking about was actually the Xiao family in Wutan City?

Although the Xiao family is indeed quite good in Wutan City, their powerful puppets and amazing beast-controlling techniques are definitely not something a family like that should possess.

As if sensing something, Yun Yun's expression changed slightly, and she whispered, "Yanran...you...you haven't fallen for him, have you?"

Startled, Nalan Yanran hurriedly lowered her head, her gaze darting away, and forced a smile, saying, "Teacher, how could this be? I hate him the most..."

Yun Yun just stared at that beautiful face with a forced smile, without saying a word, and sighed in her heart: Only the truth hurts the most.

After being stared at by Yun Yun for a long time, Nalan Yanran's eyes suddenly reddened, and she rushed into the former's arms. All the grievances in her heart finally burst out with a low sob.

"Teacher, his revenge was truly ruthless; I regret it..."

"Teacher, what should I do now?" Nalan Yanran raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, looking pitiful and touching.

Yun Yun paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile. She had spent some time with Xiao Yan and knew his personality. Therefore, she knew that Xiao Yan valued integrity and was very focused on cultivation, so he was unlikely to have any interest in Yan Ran.
