Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

During the healing process, Nalan Jie roared louder and louder as the healing progressed, indicating that his condition was indeed slowly recovering.

"Thank you, Mr. Yan Xiao."

"No need."

Xiao Yan's attitude was much better today.

Because Grandpa Nalan Jie's fighting spirit was quite solid, he went back to refine it yesterday and directly broke through to the second star of the Fighting Spirit realm.

If I go back and refine it again today, I'm afraid I won't be far from reaching three stars.

"Mr. Yanxiao, if there is anything you want, or anything you need Yanran to do, please feel free to say it."

On the way to see Xiao Yan off from the Nalan residence, Nalan Yanran spoke up.

Xiao Yan shook his head.

"There's nothing I need you to do right now. My decision to save your grandfather is for another reason."

"Is there another reason? Could it be that you, Mr. Yan Xiao, have some past connection with the Nalan family?"

Nalan Yanran asked curiously.

Xiao Yan glanced at the other person.

Being too curious is sometimes not a good thing.

Nalan Yanran pursed her lips.

"But Mr. Yanxiao has helped me a lot, and I would feel bad if I did nothing."

Xiao Yan's lips curled into a smile.

Sorry?

When the three-year agreement is fulfilled, you'll know what a real surprise is.

Upon reaching the gate of the Nalan residence, Nalan Yanran seemed to want to continue seeing him off, but Xiao Yan reached out and stopped her.

"Please leave, Miss Nalan."

Nalan Yanran frowned slightly as she watched Xiao Yan leave.

"Why is Mr. Yan Xiao still so cold to me? Did I really offend him in the past?"

Who is behind that mask?

------------

Xiao Yan returned to Mittel's house and found it unusually lively today.

"What happened?"

Xiao Yan was confused.

He was only gone for half a day, but it feels like he missed something important.

"An elder in the Mittel family has broken through to a higher realm, so everyone is very happy."

Xiao Yu explained to Xiao Yan.

"How are you doing? You must feel quite accomplished these past two days treating your fiancée's grandfather, right?"

Xiao Yan curled his lip.

"What fiancée? Cousin, don't talk nonsense."

If Xiao Yan really ended up with a woman like Nalan Yanran, he felt he would have nightmares every time he slept.

It's not that Nalan Yanran isn't pretty, it's just that he simply doesn't like her.

“You are now the champion of the Alchemy Competition, which is much more impressive than Nalan Yanran’s current status.”

The young sect leader is ultimately just the young sect leader. Before possessing truly powerful strength, status and reputation are all meaningless.

The champion of the Alchemist Tournament is different; from the moment the results were announced, Xiao Yan had his own signature move.

This is real strength that no one can take away from you.

"Perhaps, but I don't care about these things."

Xiao Yan said.

"Okay, okay, I know you're the best. I'll go get busy now."

Xiao Yu said helplessly, then stepped away and joined the banquet setup.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan also stepped forward to help.

Although their relationship with their senior brother allowed them to settle down in the Mittel family with peace of mind.

However, the Xiao family still needs to demonstrate their diligent work ethic and habits; they can't just freeload.

Half an hour later, everyone finished their work, and the dinner dishes were ready to be served in the kitchen.

With everything ready, Hai Bodong, the protagonist of today's banquet, slowly walked out from the backyard and into the hall.

"Today, you are no longer the Ice Emperor, but the Ice Master."

Chapter 219 Eagle

That night.

A black gale swept through the area outside the capital city.

It disperses in the air and, through a special secret method, quietly sneaks into the city.

The Imperial cavalry patrolling at night were completely unaware of the enemy hidden in the darkness.

"Hehehe, so it's someone from the Mittel family who has broken through to the Dou Zong level."

After rummaging through the city for a while, the hawk quickly obtained the information it wanted.

He had initially guessed it was someone from the royal family, but it turned out to be the Mittel family.

This business family is well-known and influential throughout the Jiama Empire.

However, it was not once known for its martial prowess. Its strongest member, Hai Bodong, known as the Ice Emperor, was only a five-star Dou Huang, far inferior to peak Dou Huang powerhouses like Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan.

But why is it that a mid-level Dou Huang could surpass Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan and successfully break through to Dou Zong?

The eagle couldn't understand it.

Although Yunshan has now broken through, Wuying knows that he would never have been able to break through if Wuying hadn't used his secret technique to help him.

Moreover, although Yunshan has now broken through, he has become his puppet. In comparison, it would have been more stable if he hadn't broken through.

"Hai Bodong".

A sinister voice rang out from the hawk's beak.

He had previously overlooked this person and hadn't even included him in his plans.

"It's getting more and more interesting."

The eagle lingered in front of the Mittel family's gate for a moment, but just to be on the safe side, it did not enter the family compound to investigate.

Hai Bodong had broken through to the Dou Zong realm, so while he certainly wouldn't be able to defeat him in a fight, he would still be quite troublesome.

The eagle didn't want to expose itself now; it was still waiting to reap the rewards behind the scenes.

On the rooftop of the Mittel family's high-rise building, Han Feng and Yao Chen watched the hawk lurking suspiciously outside the gate.

"I never expected to run into people from the Soul Palace here."

A cold glint flashed in Han Feng's eyes.

Yao Chen stroked his now-vanished beard and said, "He's just a Dou Zong. It's not worth it to make a move now. Let's see who he can implicate."

Han Feng nodded.

Completely unaware that it had been exposed, the hawk continued to cackle and fly out of the city.

Yao Chen and Han Feng followed leisurely.

Under the watchful eyes of a half-saint and a peak ninth-level Dou Zun, the speed of the eagle was no different from that of a snail.

The two saw the eagle arrive at the territory of the Yunlan Sect, and then fly up the mountain until it disappeared into the summit of the back mountain.

"The Yunlan Sect actually has connections with the Soul Palace?"

Yao Chen asked in surprise.

Could it be that Nalan Yanran and Pill King Gu He, whom I saw at the alchemy conference, are both from the Soul Palace?

"Although we cannot draw any conclusions yet, the Yunlan Sect does indeed need to be investigated."

Han Feng said earnestly.

Originally, he only planned to spend the three-year agreement with his junior brother, and then bring everyone back to his side to have a happy New Year.

He did not want to bully others or interfere with the Yunlan Sect.

However, once the Soul Hall is involved, everything changes.

Now, regardless of whether his junior brother agrees to the three-year agreement or not, Han Feng needs to investigate.

Seeing his disciple's serious and earnest expression, so different from his relaxed and carefree state a few days ago, Yao Chen knew that Yunlan Sect was in trouble.

When it comes to hatred towards the Soul Palace, Yao Chen felt that even he, as a victim, did not feel as intensely as Han Feng.

Let alone the Soul Palace, if I hadn't stopped him, this kid would probably have gone to settle scores with the Soul Clan.

"Let's go back first. I've already marked this place; it can't escape."

"That's what Yao Chen said."

It would be better not to let the Yunlan Sect be judged so soon before the three-year agreement begins.

If the entire sect is controlled by the Soul Palace, then what's the point of making a three-year agreement?

Han Feng heeded Yao Chen's advice and did not make a move immediately.

Anyway, he's just a Dou Zong, he can't escape their grasp.

Back at the Mittel family home, Han Feng was wide awake and spent the entire night cultivating his battle qi.

As the sun rose, he went up the mountain and practiced a set of boxing moves to calm the anxiety in his heart.

Although my current cultivation level has far exceeded my original plan, the closer I get to that goal, the more nervous I feel.

Han Feng didn't know how to describe it, but as Yao Chen said, everything could only be done slowly.

Not only does breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm require a catalyst, but the Soul Extermination Plan also needs to wait for the next opportune moment.

Xiao Yan set off early in the morning for the Nalan residence for his final day of treatment.

He felt that after today, once he absorbed the last bit of fighting spirit contained in the poison from Old Master Nalan, he would be able to successfully break through to the three-star Dou Ling level.

Such terrifying speed is something that ordinary cultivation could never achieve.

"Mr. Yan Xiao, you've arrived."

Nalan Yanran stood in front of the gate of her family mansion, waiting for Xiao Yan's arrival.

After yesterday's treatment, Nalan Jie woke up this morning and is able to talk to people normally.

This is truly something to celebrate for the entire Nalan family.

"Ah."

Xiao Yan simply nodded to Nalan Yanran, his attitude as indifferent as ever.

Nalan Yanran had gotten used to Mr. Yan Xiao's attitude towards her. Although she was a little annoyed, he was the only one who could cure her grandfather.

Upon arriving at a room deep within the Nalan mansion, Xiao Yan heard a series of curses coming from inside the door.

Nalan Yanran felt slightly embarrassed.

"Grandpa was reprimanding Father, mainly because Father's actions the day before yesterday were a bit too..."

Xiao Yan shook his head and coughed lightly twice.

Although the cursing inside was intense, it immediately quieted down after hearing the commotion outside.

The hurried footsteps approached the gate, and Nalan Yanran's father, upon seeing that it was Mr. Yan Xiao, immediately led him inside.
