Battle Through the Heavens: Bind Xun'er, reward Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame

The system's voice rang in Xiao Xuan's mind.

[Bound to the target, consuming the Grade 5 Mystic Heart Pill will increase their basic strength.]

[The host has received a random reward.]

[Feedback being generated...]

[Congratulations, host, for gaining control over the alchemy process.]

Xiao Xuan opened his eyes.

The ability to control the heat during alchemy.

He raised his right hand, and golden flames surged from his palm.

The flame danced in his palm, more steadily than before.

Temperature control is also more precise.

If his previous alchemy skills relied on the refining abilities instilled by the system, his control over the heat has now reached a completely new level.

Xiao Xuan withdrew the flames.

The feedback from this system is truly exceptional.

He closed his eyes, and the fighting spirit within his body began to circulate according to the cultivation technique.

Having just broken through to the six-star Dou Huang realm, his cultivation still needs to be consolidated.

Battle energy flowed slowly through his meridians.

again and again.

Xiao Xuan could clearly feel the power within his body gradually settling down.

……

Several days later.

The capital of the Gama Empire.

The main hall of the Nalan family home.

Nalan Jie sat in the main seat, holding a letter in his hand.

His expression changed.

"Father, what's wrong?" Nalan Su asked.

Nalan Jie looked up at him.

"We've found out the boy's identity."

Nalan Su's heart tightened.

"Who is it?"

"The Xiao family, Xiao Xuan," Nalan Jie said.

Nalan Su was stunned.

"The Xiao family? Which Xiao family?"

"The Xiao family of Wutan City," Nalan Jie said.

Nalan Su's mind went blank for a moment.

The Xiao family of Wutan City.

His daughter, Nalan Yanran, went to the Xiao family to annul the engagement.

The Xiao family that Xiao Yan belonged to.

"Impossible," Nalan Su said decisively. "The Xiao family of Wutan City is just an ordinary family from a small border town. How could they possibly cultivate a Dou Huang powerhouse in their teens?"

"The information is accurate," Nalan Jie said.

Nalan Su fell silent.

He recalled the scene outside the auction house that day.

The boy stood there and killed four of his followers at the Douling level with a single palm strike.

He still remembers the oppressive aura of that Dou Huang powerhouse very clearly.

This person is actually from the Xiao family.

"Father, could there be a mistake?" Nalan Su still couldn't believe it.

"Do you think there's a mistake?" Nalan Jie looked at him.

Nalan Su opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Yes.

A Battle Emperor in his teens—there's not another one like him in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

These characteristics are too obvious to be mistaken.

"So what do we do now?" Nalan Su asked.

Nalan Jie remained silent for a moment.

"Go to the Xiao family."

Nalan Su was taken aback.

"To the Xiao family?"

"Yes." Nalan Jie nodded. "We'll come to apologize."

Nalan Su's expression was rather unpleasant.

"Father, Yanran's decision to break off the engagement with the Xiao family has already caused them to lose face. Now we're going to apologize to them again... This..."

"What do you know?" Nalan Jie interrupted him.

Nalan Su dared not say any more.

"It was indeed dishonorable of our Nalan family to break off the engagement with Yanran," Nalan Jie said. "If we broke off the engagement after Xiao Yan became a cripple, who wouldn't say that our Nalan family is snobbish?"

"It was fine before, the Xiao family was just a small family, so it was fine to offend them."

"But things are different now."

A hint of seriousness flashed in Nalan Jie's eyes.

"The Xiao family has produced a Dou Huang powerhouse in his teens."

"A person like this must be being cultivated by a powerful force behind the scenes."

"We, the Nalan family, cannot afford to offend them."

Nalan Su lowered his head, not daring to utter a single word.

"This trip to the Xiao family is for two reasons: first, to apologize for offending Xiao Xuan, and second, to express my apologies for Yanran's annulment of the engagement," Nalan Jie said.

"If we can repair our relationship with the Xiao family, that would be the best outcome."

"If we can't, at least we can't let the Xiao family hold a grudge against us."

Nalan Su nodded.

"Father is right."

"Go and make preparations," Nalan Jie said. "We'll set off tomorrow."

"Yes," Nalan Su replied, turning and leaving the hall.

……

Yunlan Sect.

above the hall.

Nalan Yanran stood in the hall, looking at the letter in her hand.

Her face grew increasingly pale.

The letter was sent by my father, Nalan Su.

The letter said that he and his grandfather were going to the Xiao family in Wutan City to apologize for her breaking off the engagement.

Nalan Yanran gripped the letter, her fingers tightening slightly.

On what grounds?

What did she do wrong by breaking off the engagement?

Xiao Yan has become a useless person, so why should she marry a useless person?

Nalan Yanran is a disciple of the Yunlan Sect, with outstanding talent and a promising future.

Marrying a useless man with only a third-stage Dou Qi will ruin her life.

She broke off the engagement for her own future, what's wrong with that?

But now my father and grandfather actually want to go to the Xiao family to apologize.

What does this mean?

This means that the Nalan family admits that breaking off the engagement was a mistake.

This means that Nalan Yanran was wrong.

Nalan Yanran grew angrier the more she thought about it.

She turned and walked out of the main hall toward her residence.

Back in her room, she sat on the edge of the bed, her chest heaving violently.

She couldn't figure it out.

Why did my father and grandfather do that?

The Xiao family is just a third-rate family from a small border town. What is there for the Nalan family to apologize for?

Even if she breaks off the engagement, so what?

Does the Xiao family dare to retaliate against the Nalan family?

Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth.

She decided to go back to the capital to find out what really happened.

……

Utan City.

The Xiao family.

Xiao Xuan came out of the room and walked towards the cultivation square.

Many disciples of the Xiao family were cultivating in the square.

As he approached, the disciples quickly made way for him.

Xiao Xuan ignored them and walked straight to the center of the square.

Just as he was about to begin his cultivation, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Task issued: Help the bound target, Xiao Xun'er, increase her strength by one level.]

Upon completion of the task, the host will receive a random reward.

Xiao Xuan looked at the system panel.

Help Xiao Xun'er level up by one.

She is now a Seven Star Warrior.

The next level up is the Eight-Star Fighter.

Xiao Xuan was making plans in his mind.

Last time, Xiao Xun'er refined a portion of the Purple Crystal Source and broke through to the Seven-Star Dou Zhe level.

The remaining energy in the Purple Crystal Source was enough for her to break through to the Dou Shi level.

It just takes time.

The system's task is to advance to the next level.

In other words, the mission will be completed as long as she breaks through to the eight-star Dou Zhe level.

Xiao Xuan accepted the mission.

He was about to go find Xiao Xun'er when a voice came from behind him.

"Brother Xiao Xuan."

Xiao Xuan turned his head.

Xiao Xun'er walked in from outside the square with a smile on her face.

She walked up to Xiao Xuan.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, are you cultivating here?"

"Hmm," Xiao Xuan said.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, the market is open today, will you come with me to browse around?"

Xiao Xuan looked at her.

He remembered the promise he had made to her a few days ago.

"it is good."

Xiao Xun'er's face immediately lit up with a smile.

She took Xiao Xuan's arm.

"Then let's go now."

Xiao Xuan didn't say anything, letting her take his arm and walk out.

……

The two left the Xiao family residence and headed towards the market.

The market town of Utan was located in the south of the city and was the largest trading place in the city.
