I'll Demonstrate Once (10,000 Words Completed)
Xiao Yan was speechless. He had just been sleeping soundly in the Gate of Life and Death, receiving the care and love of his ancestor.
After refining the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Xiao Yan had thought that refining Strange Flames was always painful and agonizing. It was the first time he realized that being a second-generation Dou was so comfortable.
Refining Strange Flames was like soaking in a hot spring, allowing Xiao Yan to have a wonderful sleep.
Who knew that a sudden earthquake would wake Xiao Yan up? When he came out to take a look, good heavens, Wū Protector was selflessly sacrificing his relative! He had killed Yun Shan!
To be honest, Xiao Yan didn't have any great hatred for the Yunlan Sect, and he also had a special ambiguous relationship with Yun Yun. Seeing the Yunlan Sect like this, he wasn't really happy either.
"Jie jie jie, this old one doesn't need to know who the inheritance belongs to. This old one only needs to know that Yun Potian only obtained a small portion of the inheritance back then, yet he became a Dou Zun, a genius of his time, and established a great reputation on the Dou Qi Continent. If this old one obtains the complete inheritance, then I will definitely become a Tian Zun, no, I can become a Soul Palace Saint!" The more Wū Protector spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had already become a Dou Sheng.
"What you said does have a bit of truth to it, but you dare to come and inherit the inheritance without even knowing who it belongs to. If you knew who it belonged to, you'd probably be dumbfounded," Xiao Yan said, looking at Wū Protector with pity. Xiao Xuan hated the Soul Clan the most, and the Soul Palace was a force of the Soul Clan.
Wū Protector, who cultivated the Soul Clan's Cultivation Method, was truly seeking death by going to King Yama himself.
"Jie jie jie, enough nonsense. If you hand over the inheritance, this old one can spare your life for the sake of that lord," Wū Protector was still somewhat wary of Hun Xuzi, but in the face of great temptation, even if Xiao Yan only obtained the Soul Token, even if Xiao Yan was Hun Tiandi's son, Wū Protector couldn't let him go.
When people face great temptation, they can even give up their lives! "This old one, this old one, do you really think you're a Dou Zun? Come on, let me, Xiao Yan, teach you how to be a person, no, teach you how to be a ghost!" Xiao Yan raised his head and puffed out his chest, hooking his fingers in provocation.
His confident appearance made it seem like he was the Dou Zun.
Seeing Xiao Yan's confident appearance, even Wū Protector was a little doubtful. His powerful Soul power swept over, and he thought to himself, "He broke through to Dou Ling?"
Breaking through from Seven-Star Da Dou Shi to Dou Ling in just over a month was already considered extremely fast, but for Wū Protector, who had reached the strength of a Dou Zun by relying on secret methods, even Dou Huangs were just sending themselves to their deaths.
Wū Protector nodded. Some Dou Huang Soul Envoys, who were invited from other places by Wū Protector using Soul Points, surrounded Xiao Yan. Whether it was out of fear of Hun Xuzi's methods or fear of being retaliated against, Wū Protector didn't plan to take action himself.
Looking at the Soul Envoys in the sky, each with Dou Qi wings, and the weakest of them being Dou Wangs, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he smiled, "My clan's ancestor had great wisdom. He already anticipated that such a situation would occur."
Buzz! Suddenly, the black and white flames on Xiao Yan's body emitted a kind of Soul light. The dark flames clung tightly to Xiao Yan's entire body, making it impossible to see Xiao Yan's appearance. Xiao Xuan's voice reached Xiao Yan's heart.
[This is a secret method passed down from ancient times by my clan. I will pass it on to you.]
Suddenly, the Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body involuntarily began to circulate, and the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations also automatically erupted. The Yin-Yang Dual Flame rapidly circulated along the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations' circulation path.
Xiao Yan, who had inherited a bit of the Dou Di Bloodline, felt the blood in his body was incomparably hot at this moment!
Although Xiao Yan's Dou Di Bloodline was only of the first grade, obtaining the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations and erupting the Strange Flame caused the bloodline in Xiao Yan's body to begin to boil and elevate.
[This method can only be used by those who possess my clan's bloodline. Without my clan's bloodline, it cannot be used.]
"Oh, no wonder he left behind a bit of Dou Di Bloodline."
Suddenly, the Dou Qi, Soul power, and Blood Qi in Xiao Yan's body were instantly mobilized. A wonderful feeling appeared in Xiao Yan's heart, and a kind of enlightenment directly rushed into his brain.
Xiao Yan originally thought that learning Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques was either based on what was recorded on the Scroll, or through Soul tools, using Soul information to learn.
But Xiao Yan didn't expect that there would actually be this kind of 'hands-on' personal teaching! Even the understanding of the secret method was transmitted to Xiao Yan's mind, just like the legendary enlightenment.
[This method was created by my clan's Dou Di, Xiao Zhantian. I will now demonstrate it to you once!]
As if anticipating that his descendants might encounter threats when inheriting the Strange Flame, he left his last bit of power in the Death Flame, allowing him to personally experience this move.
Xiao Yan's body, which was covered in black and white flames, moved involuntarily. His hands formed a seal and gently pushed forward.
[This method is called: *Break the Azure Sky!*]
A voice resounded in his heart. Suddenly, the entire Yunlan Sect erupted with endless mysterious light. Even Yunlan Mountain, which was outside the Sect Protecting Grand Array's storm, was illuminated.
In that instant, it was as if the Yunlan Sect had become a celestial realm, giving off the feeling of ascending to immortality, erupting with endless light.
"What's wrong with the Yunlan Sect again!"
"What blinding light!"
Seeing the Yunlan Sect suddenly erupt with blinding light, even Gama Holy City, which was not far away, could see it.
Everyone who saw this scene was shocked and moved. Everyone didn't know what had happened to the Yunlan Sect in the past month, and they didn't know what was happening now.
When the light slowly dissipated, everything became calm again. Xiao Xuan, who was thousands of years ago, had probably anticipated or even experienced that each time he entered the inheritance ruins, it would attract a group of troublesome people, so he deliberately left a strike in the Death Flame.
He also demonstrated to Xiao Yan the kind of glory that his family's Dou Di had once created.
Although this was separated by thousands of years, and it didn't even have one-thousandth of Xiao Xuan's power, but... it was enough.
One by one, black Soul Robes slowly fell from the sky, but the people inside had already been reduced to ashes, their Souls scattered.
Those Storage Rings, Soul Stones, weapons, armor, and other items rained down from the sky, the clattering sounds pulling the remaining Yunlan Sect disciples back to reality.
At this moment, the remaining Yunlan Sect disciples were pale and horrified, all feeling that Xiao Yan was too terrifying. What exactly was this power?!
Medusa Queen looked at Xiao Yan with fear in her beautiful eyes. Such power was beyond the understanding of a Dou Zong; it was at least a Dou Zun, or even stronger!
Xiao Yan sighed softly and murmured, "Don't worry, Ancestor. I've received this secret technique."
With a snap, the Yin-Yang Dual Flame landed in Xiao Yan's palm, like a baton being passed in a relay race.
Xiao Xuan had put so much thought and effort into this, considering every aspect to ensure that his clan would have a chance to rise again after countless years.
He had even considered the possibility of his descendants being besieged.
Xiao Yan walked to Yun Yun's side. Yun Yun was kneeling beside Yun Shan's corpse. For the lonely and helpless Yun Yun, Yun Shan was the family member who had raised her.
Yun Yun's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Xiao Yan with a somewhat lost, weak, and helpless expression. Seeing her tearful appearance, Xiao Yan felt a pang of heartache.
Yun Shan had brought it upon himself. Even the Soul Palace people who came to the Yunlan Sect were probing cautiously, not daring to rashly go to the Soul Palace. This was because Xiao Yan had sensed that the Soul Palace was too unfathomable.
One must be even more careful when facing the strong, because they can kill you at any time.
With a whoosh of fire, Xiao Yan condensed a ball of white Life Flame in his right hand and gently injected it into Yun Shan's body. With a whoosh, the Life Flame incinerated Yun Shan's body.
The Yin-Yang Dual Flame's Life Flame could save people, endlessly regenerating, but even Strange Flames could not revive the dead. The Life Flame was more like a flame that constantly accelerated cell division and healing, and could also restore Soul power.
As the Life Flame burned, a faint white shadow slowly appeared. This was Yun Shan's remaining Soul, something like a remnant Soul, not even a Soul Body. Yun Shan's Soul had already been devoured by Wū Protector.
This was condensed by Xiao Yan through the power of the Life Flame.
Xiao Yan softly comforted, "Say a proper goodbye."
No matter how hateful or deserving Yun Shan was, he was still the one who raised Yun Yun. All Xiao Yan could do was this much.
Not disturbing Yun Yun's farewell, Xiao Yan left the two of them enough space.
Xiao Yan walked to Medusa's side and said with a grin, "I thought you had run away."
Medusa was immediately annoyed. Did this person know how to talk?!
A warm white flame slowly seeped into Medusa's injured hands.
"What's the matter with that power of yours?" Medusa stared directly at Xiao Yan. If Xiao Yan could possess such strength, it would be too terrifying.
Medusa had not left the Yunlan Sect and had even saved Yun Yun, which made Xiao Yan begin to trust Medusa. He spread his hands and said, "It's a long story, but unfortunately, that kind of power can only be used once."
Now Xiao Yan didn't want to let go of Medusa, this Dou Zong bodyguard. His ancestor's power could only be used once. Even the Yin-Yang Dual Flame could not withstand too much of Xiao Xuan's power.
Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran and the Yunlan Sect disciples behind her, who were drooping their heads and looking lost. After this incident, the Yunlan Sect was afraid that it had lost its position as the number one sect in the Gama Empire.
Not only had the strongest old Sect Leader Yun Shan died, but most of the elders and elite disciples had also died. It could be said that the most powerful person in the Yunlan Sect now was Yun Yun, followed by a few peak Dou Ling elders, and then Nalan Yanran.
This strength was far inferior to the Gama Imperial Family. The Gama Imperial Family, which had been wary of the Yunlan Sect for a long time, was afraid that it would not let the Yunlan Sect go.
Sure enough, not long after, Jia Xing Tian, Hai Bo Dong, and others saw such a bright light erupting from the Yunlan Sect, and they hurriedly flew from Gama Holy City.
"What exactly happened?" Hai Bo Dong looked at the corpses all over the ground, especially the dense, mountain-like piles of corpses on several huge altars, and his scalp tingled.
What exactly had the Yunlan Sect been doing in the past month or so?! "Xiao Yan, what exactly happened?" Jia Xing Tian landed beside Xiao Yan.
He also noticed that something was wrong with the Yunlan Sect. Every one of those disciples looked dejected, and the Sect Leader Yun Yun in the distance didn't know what she was doing, and the Dou Zong Yun Shan was nowhere to be seen.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yan said, "The Yunlan Sect was invaded by an evil force. The old Sect Leader Yun Shan and some elders of the Yunlan Sect died in battle."
Hearing Xiao Yan lie, Nalan Yanran looked like she wanted to say something but stopped. Medusa didn't say anything.
Hai Bo Dong and Jia Xing Tian looked at each other. Both of them were old foxes, so they naturally sensed that what Xiao Yan said might not be the truth.
But they didn't expose him. If Xiao Yan didn't want to say it, then they wouldn't ask. The truth was not important; what was important was what Xiao Yan said.
Not long after, Yun Yun slowly walked over. Under the gazes of all the Yunlan Sect disciples, she cheered up and said, "Everyone, a major disaster has occurred in my Yunlan Sect. Please give me some time."
"Now my Yunlan Sect will be temporarily closed. Three days later, after I settle the disciples of the Yunlan Sect, I will give everyone an answer."
As the last sentence fell, everyone knew that the Yunlan Sect was about to decline.
Countless Yunlan Sect disciples sighed at this moment, and then felt a little sad. Back then, the Yunlan Sect was so majestic, but unexpectedly, it had fallen to this point. This kind of gap was really difficult for people to accept.
Many disciples didn't know what exactly happened in the Yunlan Sect. Only Medusa, Yun Yun, and Nalan Yanran knew about the existence of the Soul Palace.
The events that occurred above Yunlan Sect spread like wildfire to every corner of the Gama Empire in a short half-day, immediately causing an uproar throughout the entire empire.
Everyone knew how formidable and terrifying Yunlan Sect's power was in the Gama Empire, especially after Yun Shan broke through to Dou Zong more than a month ago, which greatly boosted Yunlan Sect's reputation.
Yet now, news had spread that Yunlan Sect had been attacked by a mysterious force, resulting in the death of Yun Shan and many Dou Wang elders within the sect, a shocking message of utter disaster.
This was undoubtedly a momentous event for the people of the Gama Empire.
However, the disaster was not over. In just one day, two-thirds of the remaining Yunlan Sect disciples submitted their requests to leave the sect. These were all disciples from local influential families, like Mo Li of the Mo family.
These people had originally joined Yunlan Sect to curry favor, but now that Yunlan Sect had fallen, they scattered like húsūnsàn (monkeys scattering when the tree falls), hurrying back to their families, fearing retaliation from the mysterious force.
The remaining elders and attendants either left or scattered, and in just one day, the once-grand Yunlan Sect was deserted.
Only a few impoverished disciples who were genuinely seeking knowledge remained.
In the main hall, Yun Yun, Xiao Yan, and Medusa were present.
"Master, this is a letter left by Elder Gu He." Nalan Yanran clenched her fists, feeling somewhat indignant. She had not expected that Gu He, who had always been kind to her, would leave during Yunlan Sect's most difficult time.
Only Yun Yun understood that the real reason for Gu He's departure was not because Yunlan Sect had declined, but because of her relationship with Xiao Yan.
"Yanran, how are the arrangements for the sect?" Yun Yun asked.
"Everything has been arranged. The people who died at the altar have been handed over to the army at the foot of Yunlan Mountain, so they can record their appearances and help find their identities. Master, why do you want to know the identities of those people?" Nalan Yanran asked, puzzled.
Yun Yun sighed softly and said, "Those people died because of Yunlan Sect, and they died at Yunlan Sect. As the Sect Leader of Yunlan Sect, I have a responsibility to take responsibility for this. I plan to visit the relatives of these people one by one, in order to seek forgiveness."
"But Master, if you visit the dead, Yunlan Sect cannot be without you."
"Before I leave, I will pass the position of Yunlan Sect Leader to you."
Hearing Yun Yun's words, Nalan Yanran hurriedly knelt down, tearfully saying, "Wherever Master goes, Yanran will go."
"Yanran, get up first. Yunlan Sect cannot be disbanded. There are still many poor, backgroundless loose cultivator disciples who are here to seek knowledge."
Xiao Yan, who was standing aside and witnessing the deep bond between Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, touched his nose and said, "I actually have a suggestion."
Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran turned their heads to look at Xiao Yan, and even Medusa, who was carefully sipping tea, curiously looked at Xiao Yan, wondering what kind of suggestion he had.
Xiao Yan revealed a meaningful smile.
...
Two days later, Mo City Rock.
The current Mo City Rock was completely different from what it was a few months ago. Now, there was an extremely luxurious mercenary group base in Mo City Rock.
This massive building, resembling a modern military base, was precisely the Mo Tie Mercenary Group created by Xiao Yan's two older brothers.
The current Mo Tie Mercenary Group was already a behemoth in Mo City Rock. A mercenary group with three Da Dou Shi and dozens of Dou Shi was not only the strongest mercenary group in Mo City Rock, but also the most powerful mercenary group in the surrounding cities.
"Run! Are you even mercenaries of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group?!" A scantily clad woman was roaring at the mercenaries who were lying on the ground, unable to run. The whip in her hand cracked against the ground.
"Captain Xue Lan, we really can't run anymore. You're a Dou Shi, but we're only Dou Zhe."
"That's right, Captain, we really can't hold on. Let us rest for a while."
Xue Lan bared her teeth, glaring at these mercenaries, and angrily said, "You useless things, if the Third Leader saw you like this, how disappointed would he be in our mercenary group!"
Chirp chirp!! Just then, a messenger falcon flew over the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, and a letter tied with a stone fell quickly.
The Dou Qi Continent did not have telephones, so communication relied on the most primitive methods.
Xue Lan picked up the letter on the ground, and when she saw the sender, her eyes changed instantly, filled with surprise.
"Rest in place for ten minutes!"
Xue Lan rushed into Xiao Li and Xiao Ding's office with the letter.
Xiao Li put down his pen and said, "Xue Lan, how many times have I told you, no matter how urgent the matter is, remember to knock on the door."
"Two Leaders, it's a letter from the Third Leader!" Xue Lan raised the letter in her hand and said.
Hearing that it was a letter from Xiao Yan, Xiao Li and Xiao Ding instantly put down their work. Xiao Li snatched the letter.
Xiao Ding said unhappily, "Why are you snatching it? What if the letter gets torn? What did Third Brother say in the letter? Is he doing well?"
Xiao Li looked at the contents of the letter and exclaimed, "Ah?!"
Xiao Ding's eyes narrowed, and he quickly asked, "Did something happen to Third Brother?"
Xiao Li looked at his eldest brother with an incredulous expression, and said suspiciously, "Big brother, Third Brother wants our Xiao Clan to take over the Yunlan Sect."
