Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 52 The Question in My Heart!

Yunlan Sect, back mountain.

A streak of cyan light flashed past, flying towards the secluded place of Yunshan.

This figure was Yun Yun, who had returned from the royal family. Jia He's words kept echoing in her mind.

She did indeed have a deep impression of the black mist she saw in the back mountain of the royal palace. The guardian in that black mist, with its chilling aura, made even a Dou Huang like herself feel threatened.

Yunyun couldn't believe that her teacher would be entangled with such dark forces!

Soon, Yun Yun saw the place where Yun Shan had been in seclusion.

She stood before the stone gate, her expression hesitant. What would she do if her teacher really got entangled with that dark force?

To turn a blind eye? How could that be possible?

Yun Yun sighed softly, then solemnly addressed the stone gate, "Disciple Yun Yun greets Master!"

Behind the stone gate, Yun Shan, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. The fighting energy in his body was somewhat disordered, and he was almost injured.

Hearing Yun Yun's voice, Yun Shan suppressed his anger and asked calmly, "Didn't I say that you shouldn't disturb me in any way?"

Yun Yun said, "This disciple has a question she wishes to ask her teacher!"

Yunshan frowned and asked, "What question?"

"Does the teacher know about the Soul Palace?" Yun Yun asked.

Upon hearing the term "Soul Palace," Yun Shan's brow twitched slightly, but he remained calm as he replied, "I don't know. Where did you hear that from?"

Yun Yun said, "The Soul Hall members appeared once before, so I investigated this mysterious force. It seems that the Soul Hall member disappeared in the direction of the Yunlan Sect. So I wanted to ask you, Master, about the Soul Hall!"

Suddenly, a cloud of black mist appeared beside Yunshan; it was the hawk.

"We should just kill this little girl; she's getting in our way!" Wu Ying's somewhat gloomy voice rang in Yun Shan's ears.

Yunshan said indifferently, "Isn't this all the trouble you caused? You left traces after you left. If you're exposed, the Yunlan Sect will probably suffer as a result!"

Wu Ying said, "As the former sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, erasing my traces is not difficult at all. Just tell this woman to stop investigating!"

Yunshan glanced at the hawk, then addressed the area outside the stone gate: "Yunlan Sect has no connection with this Soul Hall, so you don't need to worry. Besides, if anyone from the Soul Hall were to appear here, I wouldn't allow them to exist within the sect!"

If these words had come before, Yun Yun would have believed them. But now, Jiahe's words were like a nail driven into Yun Yun's heart, making it impossible for her to continue to trust her teacher.

"Teacher, if the people from the Soul Hall appear within the sect, will you take action to kill them?" Yun Yun asked.

Yunshan replied without hesitation, "Of course!"

Yun Yun said, "Alright, I understand. Master, please continue your seclusion. I'll take my leave!"

Inside the cave, Wu Ying chuckled coldly, "She's just a mere three-star Dou Huang, yet she dares to interfere in the affairs of a three-star Dou Zong like me? If we really meet, I won't hold back!"

Yunshan looked at the hawk and said, "My deal with you only lasts until I help you find the Xiao family!"

The hawk said, "Hehehe, I'm afraid that after you become a Dou Zong, you won't be willing to sever ties with me!"

Yunshan said indifferently, "That's none of your business. Also, I've already gathered some information about the Xiao family. I've investigated quite a few branches of the Xiao family within the Jia Ma Empire. Originally, there was already a Xiao family in the capital!"

"The Xiao family was once very prominent, but after the death of Xiao Lin, the family gradually declined in the capital. Later, they left the capital and went to a city called Wutan City to eke out a living!"

"This family might be related to the Xiao family you're looking for!" Yunshan said, looking at Wuying.

Wu Ying asked, "Wutan City, the Xiao family?"

"However, that family is too weak. According to the information brought back by Yun Ling, the Xiao family is now in decline. The strongest member of the family is only a Great Dou Master. My Yunlan Sect can crush the Xiao family with one hand!" Yun Shan said calmly.

Wu Ying said, "I will thoroughly investigate this matter!"

Yunshan asked, "Why are you still fixated on the Xiao family?"

Upon hearing Yunshan's words, Wuying suddenly chuckled coldly, "Heh heh, some things are better left unsaid, or you might suffer a terrible fate!"

Yunshan frowned slightly, but did not pursue the matter further.

Meanwhile, Yun Yun left from the back mountain and came to the main hall, where she summoned an elder and asked, "Where is the Grand Elder?"

The elder respectfully replied, "Elder Yunling is out recruiting disciples for the sect and has not yet returned!"

Yun Yun frowned and said, "Since when did a senior elder like him have to go outside to recruit disciples?"

The elder said, "Reporting to the Sect Master, in fact, Elder Yunling has been recruiting disciples outside all these years, not just this year!"

Yun Yun immediately sensed something was wrong. There were so many affairs in the sect, and Yun Leng was usually too busy to handle them all. How could he possibly find time to recruit disciples?

"Which other elders from the sect went with Yun Ling?" Yun Yun asked.

"Elders Yun Cang and Yun Tian have always been by Yun Leng's side."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun knew that these two elders were Yun Leng's confidants.

"When Yunling returns, have him come to see me!" Yun Yun said to the elder.

"Yes, Sect Master!" The elder respectfully withdrew.

Yun Yun sat down in her seat, looking somewhat tired, and sighed softly, her hand supporting her forehead.

……

A rich fragrance of pills filled Jiahe's alchemy room. Just as a beam of energy shot out, Jiahe suddenly made his move and suppressed it.

As the beam of light slowly dissipated, a perfectly round pill appeared in Gah's hand.

After leaving the alchemy room, Jiahe handed the Breakthrough Pill to Jia Xingtian.

Jia Xingtian, holding the jade bottle in his hand, said, "I will certainly not let you down!"

He has been stuck at the peak of Dou Huang for too long. This time, he will fight with all his might!

Jia Xingtian turned around and went into seclusion, as if he had made up his mind.

As night fell, a pair of energy wings suddenly unfolded behind Gahe, and his figure disappeared into the palace.

Inside a bedroom of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun was sitting cross-legged on a large bed cultivating when she suddenly sensed an aura descending. She immediately opened her eyes and flew outside.

On the rooftop, Jiahe stood overlooking the entire Yunlan Mountain Range. Yunyun slowly landed behind him and asked calmly, "What brings Your Highness here so late at night?"

"A rendezvous with a beauty at night!" Gahe chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun was about to get angry when she saw Jia He sit down, take out a wine cup from his storage ring, and raise it to Yun Yun, saying, "Want a drink?"

Yun Yun found Jiahe's behavior a little strange, but after hesitating for a moment, she still sat down next to Jiahe.
