Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xieyue's beautiful eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and she said sharply, "You ignorant fool! How dare you call me A-Ran?"
With that, she waved her hand and delivered a sharp chop, causing Wen Yi, who was already weak and staggering, to immediately faint.
Shangguan Xieyue didn't even spare a glance for Wen Yi, who was lying on the ground.
She snorted coldly, raised her fair wrist, and casually drew a line in the air with her jade-like finger, revealing a deep passage.
Immediately afterwards, she frowned slightly, raised her leg, and kicked Wen Yi into the passage without any mercy.
Then, she slowly took out a handkerchief and meticulously wiped her hands, as if she had just touched something extremely filthy.
Divine Son Hall
"A-Ran!"
A clear shout broke the silence.
Nan Xunran looked up at the sound and gazed toward its source.
Suddenly, Shangguan Xieyue appeared in sight. She flicked her sleeve, tearing open a deep hole in the void.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Yi fell straight down from the hole with a dull thud, crashing heavily to the ground.
He was completely unconscious, without making a sound.
Shangguan Xieyue looked up at Nan Xunran with a hint of pride in her eyes and said loudly, "I have wiped out the remnants of the Wen Clan."
Nan Xunran nodded slightly.
Shangguan Xieyue stood still, her burning gaze fixed on him.
Seeing that she kept her head tilted back, Nan Xunran out his slender hand and gently stroked her head.
Shangguan Xieyue obediently lowered her head, her eyes filled with doubt, and asked, "What did the Wen Clan do to offend A-Ran?"
She thought to herself that if the A-Ran Wen Clan displeased Aran, she would torture Wen Yi to pieces to vent her anger.
Nan Xunran remained expressionless and said calmly, "It was just some practice for my subordinates."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xieyue replied crisply, "Okay."
At this moment, Wen Yi let out a muffled groan and slowly awoke from the chaos.
His vision was as if shrouded in a thick fog; he blinked laboriously, trying to make out the two people in front of him.
His consciousness hadn't fully returned, and he squinted to make out, "... Nan Xunran?!"
[Wen Yi, the Child of Destiny]
[Bloodline: 50% Black Moon Bear Bloodline]
Peak of the Marquis Realm
[Heaven’s Mandate Points: 1060/2560 points]
[Possessing the Black Moon Bear Bloodline, one's cultivation can break through three realms in the darkness of night.]
Shangguan Xieyue turned her beautiful eyes to Nan Xunran and asked softly, "A-Ran, should we kill him?"
Nan Xunran responded softly, "Mm."
Shangguan Xieyue immediately nodded, and her jade-like hand swiftly drew a sword from her waist.
She moved with light, graceful steps, approaching Wen Yi step by step, each step carrying a sharp killing intent.
Wen Yi was startled and instinctively stepped back, then turned and ran wildly out of the hall.
In his panic, he looked up at the sky. The sunlight was still blinding, and it was not yet night. With his own strength, he was no match for Shangguan Xieyue.
Moreover, his injuries were still throbbing.
Just before Shangguan Xieyue's sword was about to strike, Wen Yi hurriedly pulled a whistle from his pocket and blew it with all his might.
The next instant, the sky suddenly darkened, as if shrouded by a huge black cloth, and a massive bear shadow burst out from Wen Yi's body, its form solidifying from the ethereal.
"Brother Wen, what happened?"
The next second, upon seeing Nan Xunran, it froze, exclaiming in astonishment, "Divine Son Xunran?!"
It quickly transformed into human form, bowed deeply, then turned its head and whispered to Wen Yi, "What are you doing at the Nan Clan?"
Wen Yi hurriedly leaned close to his ear and quickly explained the situation in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the man's expression changed slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He bowed to Nan Xunran again. "Divine Son Xunran, I am Xiong Qiang, son of the Black Moon Bear Clan. I beg you, for the sake of our clan, to spare Brother Wen's life."
Shangguan Xieyue sneered, "Ridiculous! What face do you have to ask A-Ran to spare his life?"
Xiong Qiang was speechless for a moment, "..."
Indeed, their clan was as insignificant as ants in front of the Nan Clan; the Nan Clan could wipe them out with a mere wave of their hand.
He turned his head, looking at Wen Yi with a helpless expression, "Brother Wen, I can't help you."
Then he sighed, "I originally intended to use your body to recover my strength, but my injuries haven't fully healed yet, and you've gotten into this trouble."
Wen Yi's eyes widened, his face filled with despair, "No! Brother Xiong, don't go!"
He frantically reached out, trying to grab Xiong Qiang.
Xiong Qiang gave him a deep look, a look that contained too many complex emotions, and then resolutely turned away.
However, before he could take a step, a sharp sword light flashed past.
In the blink of an eye, Xiong Qiang's body was chopped into countless tiny pieces of flesh, and a crimson mist of blood spread out.
Shangguan Xieyue's pretty face turned cold, and a cruel smile curled at the corner of her lips. "Since you're here, don't even think about leaving alive."
She slowly raised her head and looked at the still dark sky, though she didn't understand what Xiong Qiang had done.
But even though he was dead, the sky remained unchanged, which must have been a backup plan he had specially prepared for Wen Yi.
Since they dare to play tricks, they're doomed.
Wen Yi stared blankly at the mangled, bloody pieces of flesh on the ground, as if struck by lightning. His voice was filled with heart-wrenching pain, "Brother Xiong!"
He abruptly turned his head, his eyes blazing with fury, staring intently at Shangguan Xieyue, and roared, "Die!"
Before he finished speaking, his aura surged wildly, and his cultivation level soared, briefly breaking through to the True God Realm Peak.
He appeared before Shangguan Xieyue in an instant, as if he had teleported.
The sword in his hand burned with boundless rage, and with an unstoppable momentum, it slashed down fiercely from above her head.
Nan Xunran two fingers, and the pebbles on the ground seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, flying into his hand.
Then, he casually flicked his finger, and the pebble, carrying the force of thunder, crashed into Wen Yi's sword.
With a clang, Wen Yi's sword was instantly knocked away, and he himself staggered back two steps, nearly falling.
A murderous glint flashed in Shangguan Xieyue's beautiful eyes. She raised the sword in her hand, ready to charge at Wen Yi again.
Nan Xunran said calmly, "Come back."
Shangguan Xieyue's delicate body trembled, then she obediently turned around and quickly returned to his side.
Nan Xunran his gaze to her, and she bit her lip and whispered, "I was wrong."
I know he's stronger than me right now, but I just can't control myself.
Then, she glanced at Wen Yi, "His strength increased dramatically at night; could he possibly have the bloodline of the Black Moon Bear?"
Nan Xunran nodded slightly. "Mm."
