"Half a month..."
"No problem, I agree."
"Yan Ran behalf of my teacher, I thank you, young master!" Nalan Yanran was overjoyed and immediately stood up to bow and express her gratitude.
"However, Miss Yan Ran, you should know that there's no such thing as a free lunch."
Hearing Huo Xuan's blunt words, Nalan Yanran was taken aback at first, but she quickly came to her senses. Huo Xuan wanted to ask for a reward, so she would just give him one.
After a moment of contemplation, Nalan Yanran said, "Young Master Huo Xuan, as long as you agree to rescue my teacher, I will find a way to give you whatever reward you need."
"Whatever the reward, you probably don't have much of value on you," Huo Xuan said casually.
"Young master... as long as you can save my teacher, I will find a way to give you whatever reward you need... even if it means I, Nalan Yanran, have to become your slave, I will do it willingly!" Nalan Yanran suddenly gritted her teeth and said.
"To be a slave or a maid? Does that mean I'll have to take you back to the Yan World in the future?"
The Yan World was created by the first Dou Emperor of the Flame Clan. The space created by Dou Di is not on the same level as the space created by Dou Sheng. The spiritual Spiritual Qi in the Yan World is several times richer than outside. Many powerful individuals from the outside world want to join the Flame Clan and live in the Yan World. But has the Flame Clan agreed to their request?
"Bringing a worthless woman like you back to the Yan World? Am I just bored, or am I driven by lust?"
Nalan Yanran naturally couldn't hear Huo Xuan's thoughts. Seeing that Huo Xuan didn't answer, Nalan Yanran continued softly, "Young Master... what's your decision?"
"The Flower Sect has two Half-Saint. Openly robbing them isn't a good option. Let's act covertly." Huo Xuan was secretly plotting something...
"I promised to rescue your teacher, so I'll accept being a slave..." Huo Xuan glanced at Nalan Yanran indifferently and said, "However, the reward is absolutely essential. I need to think carefully about what kind of reward I need, and I will come to collect it in person once I have decided on it."
"No problem, as long as Young Master Huo Xuan can save my teacher, I will spare no expense in whatever reward is required!"
"What an idiot, who said you had to pay me..."
A continuous range of flower-covered Flower Mountain, their peaks covered with brightly colored flowers, appear as a sea of blossoms from afar. A gentle breeze stirs the vibrant petals, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland.
At the end of the sea of flowers, there is an extremely majestic mountain range. The mountain range is shrouded in clouds and mist, and bright flowers dot the landscape. On the treacherous peaks, there are mostly buildings standing, and in the distance, one can vaguely see some beautiful figures and hear the laughter of women.
In the center of the mountain range, a towering peak rises abruptly from the ground. The peak is extremely wide, with buildings standing on it. At the top of the peak is a huge plaza cut across the landscape. The plaza is made of bluestone, with petal patterns around it, and a strange fragrance lingers in the air.
At this moment, many figures stood around the square, all looking towards the center of the square, creating a slightly solemn atmosphere.
In the center of the square stood a man and a woman. The woman was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, embroidered with patterns sewn with gold thread, suggesting that she was of high status. She also possessed a rather beautiful appearance, though her slightly thin red lips hinted at a hint of meanness.
Beside the woman stood a man lounging, holding a paper fan embroidered with a beautiful woman. The man was tall and handsome, with a hint of evil about him. A bright red dot, as red as blood, between his eyebrows amplified this evil aura several times over.
"Yun Yun, the time has come. It's time to show yourself!"
As the chiming of the bells slowly faded, the woman in the brocade robe narrowed her long, narrow eyes and coldly shouted.
As the woman in the brocade robe finished speaking, a sound of wind breaking came from mid-air, and then a white figure lightly swept over, and then her jade feet gently landed on the square.
A white figure landed lightly on the square, and instantly all eyes in the area turned to her. Even though it wasn't the first time they had seen her, many people were still amazed.
In the arena, the woman wore a white dress and a white skirt. Her jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, reaching her slender waist. Her stunning face was like that of a fairy in the mountains, detached from worldly affairs, filled with a captivating ethereal beauty. Her eyes, though seemingly untouched by worldly affairs, held only a gentle and serene quality, devoid of any competitive spirit.
This kind of woman can only be described with four words.
Her beauty and talent were unparalleled.
And who else but Yun Yun could possess such grace and charm?
The elegant, ethereal beauty of the clouds drew nods of approval from many Flower Sect Elders. No wonder the sect leader entrusted the Flower Sect to Yun Yun before his death; this comparison alone revealed the difference between the two.
The sinister man beside the woman in the brocade robe looked at the woman in the white dress, a fiery glint in his eyes. Such an exquisite beauty was a fatal temptation to him, who loved beauty more than anything.
Suddenly, all eyes in the world focused on Yun Yun, causing the woman in the brocade robe to clench her hands tightly. A deep look of jealousy flashed in her eyes as she sneered, "I thought you wouldn't dare to come today."
"Sect Leader, I have no desire for the position of Sect Leader, so why force me to do this?"
Yun Yun frowned slightly, looking at the aggressive woman in the brocade robe, and said.
"Hmph, if you have no such ambitions, then hand over the old sect leader's life's Dou Qi. Our sect took you in out of kindness, but I never expected you to dare to covet the position of Flower Sect Master!" the woman in brocade robes said coldly.
"If I had known earlier that Flower Granny was the Flower Sect Master, I wouldn't have saved her..." Yun Yun shook her head and said softly, "As for the Dou Qi seal, Flower Granny left it in my body. If you really want it, just come and take it..."
"Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
The woman in the brocade robe sneered, then glanced at the sinister-looking man, only to see him staring intently at Yun Yun. A surge of anger rose within her, and she shouted, "Demon Lad, let's attack together!"
"Yun Yun, you possess the Dou Qi inheritance of the old sect master, so you should be able to take on two opponents without any problem. Moreover, you know the rules of the Flower Sect: partners can attack at the same time."
The woman in the brocade robe turned her gaze back to Yun Yun and sneered, "Don't say that this sect is bullying you. If you have a partner, you can bring them along!"
Upon hearing the woman in the brocade robe's words, many Flower Sect Elder frowned slightly.
A smile appeared on Yun Yun's face. She slowly shook her head and said softly, "Sect Leader, please make the move. I didn't..."
Before Yun Yun could finish speaking, a sound of wind breaking suddenly came from the sky, followed by a terrifying force that swept in from afar like lightning.
A terrifying force struck the woman in the brocade robe, and before she could react, she was reduced to a cloud of blood mist.
Hua Jin, the acting sect leader of the Flower Sect, has perished!
"The sect leader is dead?"
"The sect leader is dead!"
The members of the Flower Sect were still reeling from the shock when they saw their sect leader staring in astonishment at the cloud of blood mist spreading in the sky.
At that moment, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the sky, and then six figures rushed over from a distance with lightning speed, appearing on the square in a few flashes.
"So this is the sect leader of the Flower Sect? He's utterly pathetic," Huo Xuan remarked.
In the square, everyone stared in disbelief at the young man who had suddenly barged in and killed their sect leader. For a moment, the entire square fell silent as people looked at each other, puzzled as to the cause of the incident.
"Teacher, are you alright?" After landing Nalan Yanran quickly came to Yun Yun's side and asked with concern in her tone.
On the north side of the square, an old woman came to her senses from shock. Judging from her attire, she should be Flower Sect Elder, and of a fairly high status.
"Who goes there? State your name! How dare you trespass on my Flower Sect!"
The old woman stared at Huo Xuan with a slightly narrowed gaze and said coldly, "Judging from his appearance, could this young man be the helper that Yun Yun found?"
"I was just doing this for someone..."
"At someone's request?"
"That's right. I was entrusted by Yun Yun's disciple Nalan Yanran, to help Yun Yun obtain the position of Flower Sect Master..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly. They had not expected that Yun Yun apprentice would have such abilities, and that they would be able to invite such a powerful expert.
The Flower Sect disciples around the square were also whispering among themselves, and curious gazes were all focused on Huo Xuan. Since the Flower Sect was full of female disciples, they were naturally quite interested in such a young talent.
"So that's how it is... It's understandable that you helped Yun Yun at someone's request, but why did you kill someone from my Flower Sect..." As soon as Huo Xuan finished speaking, a hoarse, aged voice echoed in the air above the square.
Huo Xuan cupped his hands in a mock-sounding gesture toward the direction from which the voice came, and said, "I'm sorry, I lost control of my power and accidentally killed someone, but it doesn't matter much. She's dead, but Yun Yun is still alive."
"Let's say Yun Yun wins this competition."
As soon as Huo Xuan finished speaking, the Flower Sect Elder fell into deep thought.
"So that's how it is. Yun Yun, I didn't expect you to have been coveting the position of Flower Sect Master all along!" At this moment, the Demon Flower Evil Monarch said with a cold expression.
"So what if Yun Yun covets the position of Flower Sect Master? And who are you? Get out of here!" Huo Xuan shouted at the Demon Flower Evil Monarch.
"You! Boy! I am the Demon Flower Evil Monarch of the Heavenly Underworld Sect! Do you intend to make an enemy of our Heavenly Underworld Sect?" Faced with Huo Xuan's rebuke, the Demon Flower Evil Monarch immediately introduced himself, hoping to use the Heavenly Underworld Sect to intimidate this boy.
"So you're from the Heavenly Underworld Sect. The Flower Sect's decision on who becomes its Flower Sect leader is their business. What are you doing here, a member of the Heavenly Underworld Sect? Do you think the Flower Sect needs your Heavenly Underworld Sect's approval to decide who becomes its sect leader?"
"Young master, I have no interest in becoming the sect leader, so please don't cause trouble!" Yun Yun quickly said from the side.
"Of course I know, but this isn't a choice you can make..." Huo Xuan said, "The Flower Sect Master just died. I heard from your disciple that you received the inheritance of the Former Flower Sect Master. If you don't become the Sect Master, then who can?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun was speechless, and Huo Xuan immediately turned his gaze to the Demon Flower Evil Monarch.
"What a sharp-tongued brat!" The Demon Flower Evil Monarch's expression gradually turned cold.
"Demon Flower Evil Monarch, do you know how foolish you are? I originally intended to let you go, but now I've changed my mind. I can still let you leave, but before that, you'll have to pay a price."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ruthless glint flashed in Huo Xuan's eyes. He flashed and struck directly at the Dou Qi Vortex in the dantian of the Demon Flower Evil Monarch.
Before the Demon Flower Evil Monarch could react, Huo Xuan appeared in front of him. Huo Xuan's palm strike contained terrifying power, and when it hit the Demon Flower Evil Monarch, he was sent flying backward several meters.
"Pfft pfft..."
The Demon Flower Evil Monarch landed on the ground in a sorry state, spitting out blood from his mouth.
Seeing this, everyone in the arena was shocked once again. This young man had just attacked their sect leader, and now he was attacking the Demon Flower Evil Monarch. Was he really not afraid of the Heavenly Underworld Sect?
Seeing this, Flower Sect Elder was also surprised. How could this young man defeat the Six-Star Dou Zun, the Demon Flower Evil Monarch? Just who is he?
"How are you feeling Demon Flower Evil Monarch? Do you want revenge?" Huo Xuan smiled at Demon Flower Evil Monarch and said, "How about this, I'll suppress my strength to the Dou Zhe. If you can hurt me, I'll immediately commit suicide. How about that?"
Huo Xuan's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears. Everyone was astonished. Had this young man gone mad? He actually dared to dream of defeating the Six-Star Dou Zun, the Demon Flower Evil Monarch, with the strength of Dou Zhe?
"You're so cruel..."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Flower Evil Monarch struggled to his feet. His body was swaying precariously, and he stretched out his trembling finger, pointing it at Huo Xuan.
Huo Xuan just now destroyed the Dou Qi Vortex in his dantian. With the destruction of the Dou Qi Vortex, the Dou Qi in his body also disappeared completely. Now he has no Dou Qi left. Now, let alone Dou Zhe, even someone with Dou Qi Stage One can easily kill him, this so-called Six-Star Dou Zun.
The Demon Flower Evil Monarch, struggling to keep from collapsing, glared at Huo Xuan not far away with eyes filled with extreme resentment, saying, "Boy, you're ruthless! You're really ruthless! You actually crippled my cultivation..."
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock; this young man was indeed extremely ruthless...
He actually crippled the Demon Flower Evil Monarch's cultivation. Just now, the Demon Flower Evil Monarch was a high-ranking Dou Zun expert, but now he has become a cripple without any Dou Qi. This is like falling from the clouds in the sky into the mud on the ground. This is simply torture.
"You asked for this!"
"Demon Flower Evil Monarch, leave the Flower Sect before I change my mind."
No sooner had Huo Xuan finished speaking than Demon Flower Evil Monarch the Flower Sect without the slightest hesitation. He had already lost his cultivation and could not afford to lose his life as well.
Now all he wants is to return to the Heavenly Underworld Sect as soon as possible. With the strength of the Heavenly Underworld Sect, he might still have a chance to recover his cultivation.
