Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Xiao Yan waved his hand casually.

"Little things."

"To me, you are my savior. Besides, I treated you so badly before, and you still saved me despite my past grievances. I..."

"Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense!"

Xiao Yan interrupted Nalan Yanran.

“Our feud was settled long ago. I’m saving you now simply out of my own conscience.”

Xiao Yan said seriously, "You are a good general. You were able to kill a Dou Wang with a single blow when facing a Dou Huang with a higher cultivation level than you. You were also able to hold your own for so long when facing a Dou Huang."

"Huh? How did you know...?"

Nalan Yanran was stunned.

"Cough cough..."

Xiao Yan touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

Oops, I accidentally let it slip.

The reason he was able to rescue people at the critical moment was because he had arrived early; he was simply observing Nalan Yanran's performance from the shadows.

Seeing Nalan Yanran's increasingly resentful look, Xiao Yan quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, do you know the current situation of the war in the Gama Empire? It would be best if you had a map or something."

"Come with me, I've kept all of these in the command room."

Nalan Yanran sighed, silently repeating in her heart, "Xiao Yan saved me, Xiao Yan saved me..."

Don't get angry with him!

......

That despicable Xiao Yan!

And yet, she was so sincerely grateful to him just now!

I didn't expect him to have arrived so early, and he watched helplessly as I was beaten so badly!

Nalan Yanran wasn't angry about anything else, but rather because the scene of Xiao Yan saving her was deeply etched in her mind, becoming an unforgettable memory.

But now they suddenly say that it was premeditated all along.

What an idiot! Even if you were lying, you couldn't have at least tried to hide it and not let me know!

He's definitely still resentful of himself...

Nalan Yanran thought to herself.

Xiao Yan had no idea that Nalan Yanran had so much on her mind.

If I knew, I would definitely roll my eyes at her.

The two entered the operations command room, where there was a series of intelligence reports and a sand table map.

"Teacher is stationed in the eastern border city, facing the Mulan Empire. Jia Lao is in the southern border city, resisting the main force of the Luoyan Empire. Hai Lao is on the western front, fighting against the Chuyun Empire."

This is roughly the current situation in the Gama Empire.

The other families were not powerful enough to determine the outcome of the war, so they could only play a supporting role.

The situation is still relatively balanced because neither side's top leaders have been injured or killed.

If one side loses first, the situation will shift.

"What is the reason behind the three empires joining forces to intensify their attack?"

Xiao Yan asked.

"There are many reasons, but I think the main reasons are twofold. First, the disappearance of the snake-people tribe in the Tagor Desert has removed the buffer zone between the four great empires, making friction easier. Second, the only Dou Zong of the Yunlan Sect was crippled, causing the strongest sect in the empire to fall from its pedestal, which allowed the other side to seize the opportunity."

"Hey, hey, hey, you Yunlan Sect can't blame anyone else. Blame your grandmaster for colluding with the Soul Palace."

"Hmph, I know, you don't need to remind me."

Nalan Yanran said irritably.

"However, to be fair, the attack by the three great empires this time is indeed a bit strange."

"Oh? Tell me."

Xiao Yan asked.

"The three great empires are also hostile to each other, so why would they unite against the Gama Empire? The Gama Empire is not the strongest of the four great empires."

Nalan Yanran said.

"I always felt that there was a hand slowly manipulating the outbreak of war from behind."

"Isn't your Black Corner Region in the same situation lately? I've heard that many neighboring countries have launched military operations against the Black Corner Region."

Xiao Yan nodded solemnly.

Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true.

"Your situation in the Black Corner Region must be no less dire than ours, right?"

Nalan Yanran said.

As the center of the Northwest Continent, the Black Corner Region is surrounded by many powerful kingdoms.

Xiao Yan smiled gently.

"We don't need to worry about that. Anyone who dares to invade the Black Corner Region will pay a heavy price."

With my senior brother here, even if the entire Northwest Continent attacked Black Corner Region together, it would be a matter of suppressing it with one hand.

Chapter 296 Two-Front Operation

"The situation is urgent, so I'll head to the front lines first."

Xiao Yan said to Nalan Yanran.

"Be careful. Dou Zong experts are not the same as Dou Huang experts. They are truly beings who stand above everyone else."

Nalan Yanran reminded her.

She was afraid that if Xiao Yan got carried away, he would go and fight against a Dou Zong.

If the distinction between Dou Huang and Dou Wang is not so clear, then Dou Zong is a completely different concept.

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand."

He's fought against Dou Zong level experts before.

However, Nalan Yanran is right; no Dou Zong should be underestimated.

Nalan Yanran watched Xiao Yan fly into the distance, and a strange emotion suddenly arose in her heart.

If I hadn't gone to annul the engagement back then, would we be married now...?

Xiao Yan successfully proved his excellence; he was not a waste at all, but a genius even more outstanding than himself.

But the past cannot be undone, and there is no room for regret in this world.

Even though the relationship between the two is no longer so bitter and hostile, it is impossible for them to take things to the next level.

Nalan Yanran unconsciously clenched her hands.

If she asked herself honestly, she still wanted to try to catch up with Xiao Yan.

Both of them are currently Battle Kings, and the gap between them isn't that big. Perhaps... there's still a chance?

the other side.

Xiao Yan flew towards the direction of the Luoyan Empire's army. He currently had the young sect leader of the Golden Goose Sect as a hostage, which should be able to pose a threat.

Although Xiao Yan is not afraid of Dou Zong, there is no need for him to fight every single one of them.

Fighting a Dou Zong will definitely bring me suffering afterwards.

Unless your senior brother arranges for someone to take action, it's best not to be so arrogant.

Xiao Yan looked around but found no trace.

The people my senior brother arranged were too well hidden; we couldn't even detect a trace of their presence.

If he were here, it would be fine; I wouldn't have to worry about being in danger. But if he weren't here, then it would be a huge joke.

"Senior brother, senior brother?"

Just to be on the safe side, Xiao Yan called out.

The next instant, a puppet appeared behind Xiao Yan.

"Oh my god! You scared me!"

Xiao Yan jumped away instantly, and only when he saw that the other party did not attack him did he feel relieved.

"So it was a puppet."

Xiao Yan looked around at the newcomer and made a judgment.

"what's up?"

Han Feng's voice came from the puppet.

"Here's the thing, senior brother, I plan to go to the front lines of the battlefield to see if there are any experts at the Dou Zong level there. I'll ask in advance if there are any helpers or anything."

Xiao Yan said.

"I've arranged for guards, so don't worry. Besides, didn't I leave you a backup plan?"

Xiao Yan nodded.

"I just wanted to confirm your backup plan, senior brother. Of course, I can't just use it casually!"

A Dou Sheng powerhouse's backup plan is extremely valuable; it can only be used when a Dou Zun level expert makes a move.

That's nothing, I can handle it myself.

"By the way, senior brother, is it possible that someone is manipulating this war in the Jia Ma Empire behind the scenes?"

Xiao Yan continued to ask.

His conversation with Nalan Yanran had reminded him of some past clues.

For example, the Soul Palace.

The Xiao family moved to the Black Corner Region because of the Soul Palace.

"I've already had someone investigate. You don't need to get involved in the behind-the-scenes matters. Just focus on helping the Gama Empire repel the invading enemy."

Han Feng said.

"Okay senior brother!"

Xiao Yan patted his chest and said.

The fluctuations emanating from the Dou Zong puppet gradually subsided. With a flash, it disappeared again, hiding in the surrounding space.

Xiao Yan looked around. Although he still couldn't find any traces this time, he finally felt relieved.

He determined his location and sped off towards the direction of the Luoyan Empire's army.

----------

In the southern border city of the empire, Jia Xingtian led the royal army to resist the main force of the Luoyan Empire.

The Golden Goose Sect Master, Yan Luotian, stood in the void, fighting against Jia Xingtian.

"Surrender, Jia Xingtian."

Yan Luotian said calmly.

The royal army's battle formation could no longer hold out.

He didn't even need to lift a finger, despite being a Dou Zong.

The Gama Empire was already in decline.

Jia Xingtian's chest heaved violently, and his breath fluctuated wildly.
