Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 100 Remnants of the Soul Clan

Her broad, battle-qi wings flapped, tearing through the calm air currents in the sky. The gale whipped against Nalan Yanran's face, ruffling her flowing black hair and bringing her to her senses somewhat.

"Could you move your hand somewhere else?" Nalan Yanran asked Xiao Yan, blushing.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was flying through the air with his arm around her small waist. The two were almost touching. It was the first time she had been in such close contact with a member of the opposite sex, which made her very uncomfortable.

Of course, there's also the fact that her ex-fiancé's actions are anything but honest.

"What did you say? The wind is too strong, I can't hear you," Xiao Yan shouted.

Looking at the handsome yet irritating face in front of her, Nalan Yanran suddenly felt an urge to bite him to death.

She channeled her fighting spirit into her throat and shouted with all her might, "Could you please not put your hand on my butt?"

"What did you say? I can't hear you!" Xiao Yan shouted back at her.

Nalan Yanran didn't want to talk anymore. She had been suffering too much mental stress recently and no longer cared about Xiao Yan's random hand placement.

Behind them, Yun Yun was also flying at high speed. Yun Potian was the patriarch of the Yunlan Sect. If he could be saved, the Yunlan Sect would become much stronger.

Upon hearing Nalan Yanran's shout, Yun Yun's pretty face subtly darkened.

Soon, the three of them landed on the mountain where Nalan Yanran usually practiced.

"It's that big rock." Nalan Yanran pointed to the huge rock where she often meditated.

"This stone has been exposed to wind and sun for many years, but for some reason, its energy is always more concentrated than other places. Usually, only outstanding disciples of the Yunlan Sect are qualified to cultivate here."

Nalan Yanran blushed slightly as she looked at Xiao Yan.

"It is indeed a bit more concentrated, but this stone doesn't seem to have anything special about it." Xiao Yan walked casually to the large stone.

"Be careful," Nalan Yanran whispered.

"What, you're actually quite concerned about me?" Xiao Yan smirked.

The master and apprentice fell silent. He had just teased his master and now he was teasing his apprentice. This guy was shameless.

The master and apprentice exchanged a glance, a hint of embarrassment and shyness appearing in their beautiful eyes, before blushing and turning their heads away.

Seeing the two beauties looking like this, Xiao Yan simply smiled and then turned his gaze to the stone in front of him. His powerful soul force emerged from his body and began to scan the large stone in front of him.

After some investigation, he finally discovered that this stone was different.

At the core of this large rock, there seems to be an even smaller stone hidden within, a stone that can actually block the detection of soul power.

"There is indeed something strange about this." Xiao Yan stroked his chin and waved his hand.

"Elder Wen, Elder Wu."

As his voice fell, the space behind him rippled, and two old men appeared behind Xiao Yan.

Seeing this scene, Yun Yun's pupils shrank, clearly sensing how terrifying the two old men were.

"Yanran, the commotion at the Nalan family earlier was caused by one of these two old men, wasn't it?" Yunyun glanced at her disciple.

"Yes, teacher." Nalan Yanran, who had already met the two elders, Wen and Wu, was slightly calmer.

The appearance of these two old men was not as exciting as the scene in the side hall just now.

"Young Master, there is indeed something unusual about this stone. Why don't I break it open?" Xiao Wen chuckled.

"That's exactly what I meant." Xiao Yan nodded.

At this moment, everyone noticed that the large rock in front of them had involuntarily trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Xiao Wen's eyes held a hint of amusement. The next moment, a hand blade formed from crystal-blue water-attribute energy appeared in his hand.

Xiao Wen stepped forward and lightly swung his hand a few times. Before everyone's eyes, the large rock crumbled into a pile of rubble.

After the large rock collapsed, a fist-sized, black jade-like stone appeared before everyone.

"It's actually a Boundary Soul Stone." Xiao Wen's face showed a hint of surprise.

"What is a Boundary Soul Stone?"

Xiao Yan showed a hint of doubt on his face. Although he had extremely high authority in the Xiao Clan, he had lived for too short a time, and in terms of the breadth of his knowledge, there was still a considerable gap between him and Xiao Wen.

"The Soul Stone is a precious and magical stone that was produced in the Soul Realm back then. This stone has the magical power to contain souls."

"Of course, there are more than one type of substance on the continent that can contain a soul, but another function of the Boundary Soul Stone is to seal a soul."

"As long as one's soul power has not reached the Heavenly Realm, once one enters, one cannot come out unless external force is used to break this Soul Stone. Therefore, this Soul Stone was a powerful tool for the Soul Clan to collect souls in the past."

Xiao Wen spoke eloquently.

"At the same time, the Boundary Soul Stone also has a certain shielding effect on soul power. Even a Heavenly Realm soul cannot be easily detected without close contact."

"I see." Xiao Yan nodded.

The two sages, Wen and Wu, only thoroughly searched Yunshan's cave dwelling, and merely glanced at Yunlan Sect. They never expected that such a big fish was hidden there.

"A remnant of the Soul Clan at the level of a Nine-Star Dou Zun." The two saints, Wen and Wu, revealed a smile.

"In these peaceful times, it's not easy to make a difference for your community."

Capturing the remnant soul of a nine-star Dou Zun was a significant achievement, even for the two of them.

Tsk tsk, I never expected that the small Yunlan Sect would have such a large side income.

"Young Master, since that's the case, I'll unlock this Soul Stone." Xiao Wen smiled slightly, a rare hint of anticipation appearing in his usually calm eyes.

"Untie it, but be careful not to harm Yun Potian's remnant soul inside." Xiao Yan glanced at the beautiful master and disciple not far away.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the master and disciple unconsciously softened their gazes towards him.

As Xiao Wen's hand chops approached, the fist-sized Soul Stone trembled almost imperceptibly a few times.

"Heh heh." Seeing this, Xiao Wen just smiled and then swiftly brought down his knife.

"Crack." Countless cracks appeared on the Boundary Soul Stone, and it quickly crumbled into fragments.

As the Boundary Soul Stone collapsed, a thick, dark fog rushed towards Xiao Yan like lightning, while another dim white light fell helplessly onto the fragments of the Boundary Soul Stone.

"How dare you! You dare to ambush my clan's imperial son!" Xiao Wu snorted coldly, his palm, imbued with dense fire-attribute energy, swiftly grasped the black mist, forming an energy shield the size of a palm.

Inside the energy shield, the black mist frantically darted around, but it couldn't break through the shield at all.

"Impossible! How could there be a demigod in such a remote and impoverished place? I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!"

The black mist transformed into the face of an old woman, emitting a furious scream.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wen revealed a wicked smile.

"We are not only demigods, but also demigods of the Xiao clan."

Upon hearing this, the old woman's face froze, and then she let out an even more desperate cry.

"Impossible! Why is this happening? Is the heavens determined to destroy my Soul Clan?!"

"Hehehe, how could a mere Soul Clan escape the grasp of my Xiao Clan?" Xiao Wu chuckled strangely.

"Hehehe."

"Hehehe."

Xiao Yan and Xiao Wen also laughed.
