At Yunlan Sect, Xiao Wujiu arrived early with his men to wait and watch the three-year agreement unfold.
He stood atop the trees surrounding the plaza, his gaze calm and serene as he quietly observed the Yunlan Sect standing above the clouds.
The entire plaza is paved with huge stones, forming a seamless and ancient yet grand structure. In the center of the plaza stands a massive stone tablet inscribed with the names of the successive sect leaders of the Yunlan Sect and those who made significant contributions.
At this moment, nearly a thousand disciples of the Yunlan Sect sat in the square, dressed in moon-white robes. As the breeze blew, their robes fluttered, and the long swords embroidered with clouds on their sleeves seemed to emit a faint clang of sword intent as they danced in the wind, creating a rather spectacular sight.
At the top of the square, there were some towering stone steps. Apart from Yun Yun sitting at the top, all below her were elderly men with white hair and beards. Their auras were calm and their robes were not moved by the wind, letting those who observed them know that these old men were not simple!
At the very bottom, there was a beautiful figure dressed in a moon-white robe. The robe clung to her body, outlining her perfect curves. Her eyes were slightly closed, and she gazed quietly at the blue stone steps leading from the foot of the mountain to the square.
The sun had already broken through the clouds, and the morning light pierced the fog and fell on the square, but no one moved. Apart from the occasional bird chirping, there was no unusual sound, and time passed in silence.
Xiao Wujiu watched this scene calmly, surrounded by his men on the treetops.
He stood closest to the square, with Little Fairy Doctor, Cai Lin, and other of his own people behind him, followed by Su Qian and others, arranged in order of strength.
Their large entourage was undeniably eye-catching, especially since they spotted familiar faces like Hai Bodong and Mittel Tengshan nearby.
In addition, there are even snake people!
Such a grand occasion drew everyone's attention, especially Yun Leng. He looked at the person standing closest to the square and immediately recognized him as Xiao Wujiu of the Xiao family!
After all, he had seen the other party's portrait twice!
One was when the young sect leader went to annul the engagement, and Ge Ye sent over the portrait. The other was after the Mo family in Yancheng was wiped out, and the portrait sent back from there was also a portrait. It can be said that the other party offended the Yunlan Sect twice in a row, so he must have a very deep impression of this person!
'And I've heard that this kid's talent is monstrous...'
He thought of the news that came back from the Canaan Academy enrollment period—it was for a one-star Dou Ling!
Although this news was not known to outsiders and few people believed it, resulting in not many people knowing about it, as an old man who was wholeheartedly devoted to the Yunlan Sect, he was always paying attention to any existence that might threaten the Yunlan Sect!
And this Xiao Wujiu is his biggest worry!
'This is a perfect opportunity to kill him outright; we can't let a tiger grow up and cause trouble!'
Yun Ling had already made up his mind. With the communication token given by the old sect master, this kid and Xiao Yan were both doomed to die today!
Even if he has some powerful people around him, below the Dou Zong level, they are all ants!
Yun Ling was full of confidence and assurance. He was in charge of handling all matters, big and small, within the sect. As long as he made the first move, the sect leader and the old sect leader would join forces, along with the elders. No matter how talented this person was, he would have no chance of escaping!
But in stark contrast to him, Yun Yun saw Xiao Wujiu.
Looking at the human youth she had met among the snake-people, and recalling his terrifying strength, she couldn't help but feel powerless. The difference in strength was too great; she simply couldn't contend with him, not even if she were to preside over the Cloud and Smoke Covering the Sun Formation!
Her trip to the Snake-People tribe with Guhe was a secret affair, with no possibility of it being publicized, so naturally few people knew about her existence.
Although she didn't know why such a being would pay attention to this three-year agreement and even bring the snake people to watch the battle, she dared not make any rash moves. If she angered it and provoked it to take action, things would get very serious!
She had already labeled Xiao Wujiu as someone not to be trifled with, but she was unaware that Yun Ling below was already planning how to make a move against him.
Her biggest worry right now is Jia Xingtian, the royal guardian who stands not far away on the other side and sees the snake people as a thorn in his side.
She knew this man's temperament well; how could he tolerate someone else snoring beside his bed? If he was wary of the Yunlan Sect, then he was completely hostile towards the Snake-People!
The fact that the Serpent People are now swaggering into the Empire is undoubtedly a provocation against the Gama royal family!
He was afraid that Jia Xingtian might act rashly after the battle and incite the powerful figures to join in, at which point their Yunlan Sect would be forced to act as well, bound by the greater good!
After all, the conflict between their Yunlan Sect and the royal family was an internal dispute within the empire. The intervention of the Snake-People should be unacceptable to everyone and should be met with a united attack!
So even though the sun was high in the sky and the weather was clear, seemingly perfect, she felt a sense of urgency that a storm was about to break.
'Hopefully, not too many accidents will happen today...'
Yun Yun sighed deeply, feeling as if she were being swept along by a powerful force.
Just as the sun climbed to its zenith, and the warm sunlight became somewhat scorching, a series of soft footsteps sounded, steady yet firm, gradually becoming clearer as they walked towards the square.
A tall, slender figure, carrying a giant ruler and dressed in a black outfit, slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
The young man's eyes were devoid of sorrow or joy as he stared directly at Nalan Yanran ahead. He took three steps forward and then stopped.
"The Xiao family, Xiao Yan."
The simple, plain words echoed, unusually clear in the vast and quiet square, causing a slight disturbance.
"The three-year agreement has begun."
A flicker of emotion finally appeared in Xiao Wujiu's eyes, and he withdrew his senses at that moment.
"It seems there are quite a few guests today," he said, feeling a surge of excitement as he noticed the subtle glances he received. "It wasn't for nothing that I prepared for so long and brought so many people."
His gaze returned to the field. Those rats lurking in the shadows would surely be the first to lose their composure and rush over impatiently. All he had to do then was close the net.
Today, all our enemies will be wiped out!
……
Nalan Yanran stood tall and straight, her fair neck held high, like a snow lotus standing proudly, or a proud swan. A gentle breeze blew by, and her long black hair danced in the air, highlighting her graceful figure. Her gaze was fixed on her former fiancé, now her challenger.
"The Nalan family, Nalan Yanran."
Chapter 110 Let the two of you stay at Yunlan Sect as guests!
Although the three-year agreement was a major event that everyone was watching closely, a drama of a young master from a small family challenging the proud daughter of the Yunlan Sect, everyone's expression changed because of Xiao Wujiu's appearance.
At this moment, each faction watched this scene with its own ulterior motives, each harboring its own agenda.
However, the three-year agreement was still being made, and Xiao Wujiu was not moved by the gazes around him, because the people around him did not even have the right to look him in the eye.
As he began the procession in the square, he also took the time to look around at the people of some standing nearby.
The first to be targeted was Jia Xingtian, the royal guardian with the strength of a peak Douhuang. At this moment, his gaze was fixed on him, and the hostility in his eyes was all too obvious. It could be said that if the three-year agreement had not been a major event held at the Yunlan Sect, he might have made the first move.
To be honest, he wasn't particularly fond of this guy. He was the kind of person who was wary of everyone, as if everyone had their eyes on his Gama Empire. Especially now, the other guy's eyes were practically begging to kill him, and he wasn't even pretending anymore.
Faced with such provocation, he naturally could not remain indifferent. It was just as well that the snake people no longer needed to negotiate a place to live. They could simply get rid of Jia Xingtian and replace him with a sensible royal ruler, or even a royal family with whom they could cooperate normally.
Even if the royal family had a sixth-tier Nether Sea Dragon Beast, it wouldn't amount to much, because the Amethyst Winged Lion King didn't necessarily cause any trouble back then.
Next up is Nalan Jie, the patriarch of the Nalan family. He's in great shape now, so it seems Xiao Yan has cured him. It looks like Yao Chen now has the strength of a Dou Zong, and the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva played a crucial role in that.
The older generation of powerful figures who had once been on good terms with Xiao Lin were actually quite ambiguous about their attitude toward the three-year agreement. If they truly cared about their past relationship, they should have taken action after Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement. In the end, they simply let things take their course and observed the situation.
In the end, it all comes down to strength. For example, even now, when faced with this genius from the Xiao family who brought the snake-people, he still chose to show a smile.
After all, the three major families prioritize their own interests and are not aligned with the royal family, so their actions are understandable.
However, there are exceptions. At least the Mu family is in cahoots with the royal family. Even though Nalan Jie is known as the Lionheart Marshal of the Empire, it is clear to everyone that the Nalan family was no longer pure when Nalan Yanran joined the Yunlan Sect and became the young clan leader.
However, the Mu family was different. As staunch supporters of the royal family, they would unconditionally support the royal family. At this moment, their gazes toward Xiao Wujiu were filled with scrutiny and wariness.
Besides the royal family and the three major families, the other notable figures are Famo and Chemir from the Alchemist Guild. Famo is the guild leader who received some guidance from Yao Chen and has come into contact with sixth-grade alchemists, while Chemir is the vice president of the Alchemist Guild who is a fourth-grade alchemist. They are considered neutral entities.
As for the others, they had no names, no connections, and no influence, so he had no recollection of them.
"It seems to be not much different from the original work."
Just then, the foreplay was almost over, and the three-year agreement officially began!
The battle was quite exciting. Although his arrival brought many changes, the final result was still roughly the same. Midway through, Dan Wang Gu He and his disciple Liu Ling also arrived at the three-year agreement site, which meant that the battle had completely entered a white-hot stage!
This was accompanied by the exposure of Yan Xiao's identity!
"Xiao Yan... he... he is Yan Xiao?!" Nalan Jie stared intently at the young man in the arena. The young man's figure in his mind slowly overlapped with his own. He was shocked beyond measure, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and the expression on his face became incredibly complex.
Others who knew about the recent alchemist conference, such as Fama and Chemir, as well as Liu Ling, who was defeated by them, and Gu He, who learned about it, all wore expressions of astonishment and shock. Then they looked at Nalan Jie with different expressions.
This time, Nalan Jie has lost the opportunity to establish connections with two geniuses. If it were them, they would probably be kicking themselves...
Xiao Wujiu's gaze remained calm. While everyone was shocked by Xiao Yan's identity and talent, he was more concerned about the opponent's killing move, which was completely different from the Buddha's Wrath Lotus!
Suddenly, a fire tornado appeared in Xiao Yan's hand?
Looking at the fire tornado in his hand, which was filled with raging dragon flames and a golden high-level beast fire, Xiao Wujiu's eyes became strange.
The first strange fire obtained was not the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, so the fusion form changed from the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire's Azure Lotus form to the Wind Fury Dragon Flame's tornado.
It seems... to make sense?
He was both amused and exasperated, but regardless, the outcome of this battle was already decided!
A tremendous roar resounded throughout the entire Yunlan Mountain at that moment!
The sound that erupted was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, booming across the square. After the fierce and unparalleled energy came into contact, it unleashed an extremely powerful energy fluctuation, which quickly spread outwards!
The weaker Yunlan Sect disciples turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as they made contact. Fortunately, Yun Yun, who had been watching the battlefield closely, reacted quickly and immediately organized the surrounding disciples to strengthen the defensive barrier, which prevented the impact from spreading further.
Xiao Wujiu and the others, who were also closest to the square, did not retreat like the people around them, but remained standing still like Fa Ma and the others.
Just kidding. The strength of this group of people is at least at the Dou Wang level. Even if the fluctuations of the battle between two Great Dou Shi are so strong, they are only at the Dou Ling level. It is not worth their time to make a move.
"The real show is about to begin."
Looking at the cracks spreading across the hard plaza, Xiao Wujiu began to feel a sense of anticipation. The stage built for the three-year agreement was about to host an even more grand show!
……
Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran, no longer arguing, and simply murmured, "The three-year agreement is over, Nalan Yanran..."
With the final blow, the three-year agreement came to an end, and the once useless young master successfully defeated the prodigy who had risen against all odds, much to everyone's surprise.
Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, Yun Leng, who was sitting to Yun Yun's left, spoke up.
Seeing that Nalan Yanran had been defeated, he no longer waited and took the initiative.
"Now that the three-year agreement has ended, please, Xiao Yan and Xiao Wujiu, stay at my Yunlan Sect as guests for the time being!"
These words caused an uproar in the audience!
Yunling's move undoubtedly caused a lot of discussion. Such domineering behavior, could it be that Yunlan Sect wanted to keep people because they couldn't beat them?
Chapter 111 I Can Help You
"Elder Yunling, what is the meaning of this?"
Yun Yun was surprised that her worst fears had come true. She frowned slightly and questioned him with dissatisfaction.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, Xiao Wujiu, this scoundrel, has committed all sorts of evil deeds by relying on his strength. He not only murdered Mo Cheng, an outer sect deacon of our Yunlan Sect, but also wiped out his entire family. His actions are utterly lawless, and he made no attempt to hide his whereabouts. He has been caught red-handed!"
"Such audacious and reckless villain cannot be let go by my Yunlan Sect," Yun Leng said, a triumphant smile playing on his lips. "Moreover, Xiao Wujiu is not only guilty of heinous crimes, but he also brought the Snake-People to the depths of the Jia Ma Empire. Not only did he swagger into the heart of the empire, but he also set foot in our Yunlan Sect. Isn't this a betrayal of the empire and a betrayal of our human race?!"
