The Gate of Life and Death Undergoes a Strange Change!
"You!" Nalan Yanran was exasperated, her beautiful eyes glaring at Xiao Yan, lightly biting her lip. She really wanted to teach Xiao Yan a lesson, but alas, she couldn't beat him!
"Yes, yes, this servant knows her mistake. This way, Young Master, please." Nalan Yanran took a deep breath, gently bowed, and with a smile in her narrowed eyes, made a gesture of invitation.
Xiao Yan, with his hands behind his back, acted like a young master and said, "Lead the way."
Perhaps it was because she had lost so thoroughly, Nalan Yanran's attitude towards Xiao Yan had changed a little; at least now she knew how to joke.
Along the way, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran were naturally very eye-catching. Not only was Nalan Yanran herself the Yunlan Sect's Senior Apprentice Sister, beautiful and moving, and a candidate for the next Sect Leader, but also Xiao Yan, who had caused such a ruckus at the Yunlan Sect yesterday that even the old Sect Leader Yun Shan couldn't do anything about him, was naturally riding high.
"That's Xiao Yan? You're saying such a young man defeated the old Sect Leader who advanced to Dou Zong?"
"Not defeated, he relied on the Medusa Queen to hold back the old Sect Leader Yun Shan."
"Relying on others, not on himself? What's his cultivation level?"
"Advanced Da Dou Shi, the same as Senior Apprentice Sister Yanran."
Listening to the gossip along the way, Xiao Yan remained calm and composed, not minding others saying he relied on Medusa, after all, he really couldn't beat a Dou Zong.
Following Nalan Yanran through the various halls of the Yunlan Sect, collapsed buildings and large cracks in the ground could be seen everywhere. Xiao Yan awkwardly touched his nose; if he wasn't mistaken, these were all the result of Ling Ying using the Mountain Splitting Seal.
"This is all your doing." Nalan Yanran glanced at Xiao Yan.
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have the strength to break your Sect Protecting Grand Array." Xiao Yan quickly distanced himself, this was Ling Ying's doing, go find him.
Soon, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran arrived at the back mountain. He glanced at the hidden mountain forest beside him, knowing that the other side of the mountain hid a branch hall of the Soul Palace.
Yun Yun and Yun Shan were already waiting here.
"The Gate of Life and Death is inside a Space Lock?" Xiao Yan said leisurely.
"You even know about Space Locks?" Nalan Yanran was somewhat surprised, this was a Dou Zun's domain, even Dou Huangs usually didn't know about it!
Yun Yun nodded lightly, explaining gently, "Yes, this Space Lock was left by the First Sect Leader Yun Potian. Without the Sect Leader Token and special methods, even a Dou Zong expert cannot break in."
Xiao Yan nodded, he had already seen the Space Lock last night, without the Soul Robe, Xiao Yan would not have been able to enter the Soul Palace either.
Yun Yun slowly extended her white jade hand from her sleeve, and then slowly formed hand seals with her fingers, and as her hand seals formed, Xiao Yan could clearly feel an extremely majestic invisible wave spreading out from Yun Yun's palm like a wave.
The invisible wave gradually spread, and finally came into contact with those spatial wrinkles. When the two came into contact, the space in front of Xiao Yan and the others was like a mirror made of water, constantly rippling in circles. After a while, the ripples stopped, and Yun Yun took out a piece of emerald green token from the Storage Ring and pressed it on the space.
With a buzz, the space was like a curtain, opening a passage from the middle.
"Let's go in." Yun Yun said softly.
Xiao Yan stepped into the invisible doorway with one foot, only to find that the sight in front of him had become much brighter than before. Obviously, compared to the eerie scene of the Soul Palace, the environment in the Gate of Life and Death was still normal.
Walking slowly up the mountain valley along the stone steps, before long, under Yun Yun's lead, Xiao Yan arrived in front of a stone arch.
The stone arch in front of him was more like a semi-circular ring than a door, with nothing in the middle.
"Even the Yunlan Sect's genius disciples may not be able to trigger the Gate of Life and Death. Only those who can trigger the Gate of Life and Death will have a passage appear to enter the Gate of Life and Death." Yun Yun explained.
Xiao Yan had heard Nalan Yanran say this when he first arrived.
The Yunlan Sect had an annual ritual competition, and only the ten most outstanding disciples of the Yunlan Sect were qualified to come and trigger the Gate of Life and Death. If the Gate of Life and Death responded, then they would be qualified to enter the Gate of Life and Death for training and automatically obtain the position of Young Sect Master.
For the Yunlan Sect, only the person with the highest talent, the most suitable candidate to become the next Sect Leader, could arouse the reaction of the past Sect Leaders, thereby triggering the Gate of Life and Death.
And Nalan Yanran was the only one in recent years who could trigger the Gate of Life and Death, the previous one being Yun Yun.
"Put your hand on the stone pillar, and then circulate your Cultivation Method." Yun Yun's beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Yan. Generally speaking, those who came to trigger the Gate of Life and Death were disciples of the Yunlan Sect, and naturally cultivated the Yunlan Sect's Cultivation Method. She had not tried whether other Cultivation Methods would work.
Xiao Yan slowly walked forward and gently placed his hand on the stone pillar. Just as Xiao Yan circulated his Dou Qi, an anomaly occurred!
[You have finally arrived]
!!!!!! A voice suddenly entered Xiao Yan's heart!
The next second, the feeling of his heart beating reappeared, and this time it was stronger than ever! Xiao Yan felt as if his heart was about to jump out, and the blood in his body was boiling involuntarily, as if cheering, roaring, and applauding!
*Boom boom boom!!!* At this moment, the sky shook and the earth trembled, and the mountain where the Gate of Life and Death was located began to shake.
At first, Yun Yun thought that Xiao Yan was pushing the stone pillar with force, but later she found that the vibration was exaggeratedly strong, and then the shaking of the earth became more and more intense.
*Boom boom boom!!!* At this time, the earth and mountains began to crack, and the stone gate suddenly emitted scorching heat, even the space began to distort.
In the blink of an eye, a huge crack appeared in front of everyone. In this blink of an eye, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and many Yunlan Sect disciples saw a terrifying scene. Within the Yunlan Sect, many mountains and ancient trees actually cracked open all of a sudden, and ancient halls and buildings collapsed one after another.
"What's going on!"
"Here it comes again!"
"No, this is even more intense than yesterday!"
"Help!!"
In an instant, countless Yunlan Sect disciples, attendants, and elders were startled. Some Dou Wang elders even flew up to avoid the sudden earth-shattering event! Yun Yun and the others looked sharply at Xiao Yan. They felt that the source of the earthquake was the Gate of Life and Death!
"Xiao Yan, what have you done!" Yun Shan shouted. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation! Although activating the Gate of Life and Death would cause some movement, it would definitely not be this big; it would only be a subtle glow.
Xiao Yan didn't answer because he himself didn't know what was happening! At this moment, the originally unremarkable archway flickered with a faint light, and in the middle, there was a layer of light film, very faint, as if it were nothingness, making it seem so unreal.
Looking at the Gate of Life and Death in front of him, Xiao Yan's expression was extremely solemn. There was no need to ask; he knew that activating the Gate of Life and Death normally would definitely not cause such a situation!
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and he didn't have time to think too much. He knew that Wū Protector and Yun Shan were definitely watching him closely.
"If you encounter people from the Soul Palace, be careful!!" Xiao Yan transmitted his voice to Yun Yun, and then, without another word, he directly stepped into the Gate of Life and Death.
