Battle of the Yun Lan Sect

As Lei Dong observed Yun Yun, Yun Shan suddenly appeared before her.

Upon seeing Yun Shan, Yun Yun bowed. "Teacher."

"Yun'er, have you considered what I told you before?" Yun Shan waved his hand and asked with slight puzzlement.

At his words, Yun Yun's pretty face darkened slightly. She shook her head. "Teacher, I don't like Gu He. Even if I force myself to like him, I simply can't do it..."

Ever since Yun Shan learned that Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan had returned, he had been unable to eat or sleep in peace. Though he believed Xiao Yan was nothing more than an ant, he still felt uneasy. Thus, Yun Shan planned to use Yun Yun to win over the Rank 6 Alchemist, Gu He!

A Rank 6 Alchemist held no small status within the Gama Empire. With Gu He's wholehearted assistance, Yun Shan believed that unifying the Gama Empire would be no difficult task.

And if he wanted to firmly bind Gu He to the great ship that was the Yun Lan Sect, he had no choice but to do this.

Yun Shan naturally knew that Yun Yun did not like Gu He. As her teacher, and the one who had raised her since childhood, how could he not wish for Yun Yun to find someone she loved? Yet his position did not allow such a luxury. He sighed. "Yun'er, you must understand the situation facing the Yun Lan Sect! One step back may very well mean utter destruction."

This was not the first time Yun Yun had heard this. It was also why, after learning of Yun Shan's intentions, she had remained in the Yun Lan Sect.

"Teacher, didn't that boy from the Xiao Clan only defeat Yanran back then by borrowing the power of a soul? If so, what do we have to fear? As for Gu He, I will find a way to persuade him."

In Yun Yun's eyes, Gu He was nothing to fear. As for Gu He? He was merely one of her simps. Even if Yun Yun did not marry him, giving him a sliver of hope would already be enough.

It had to be said that simps, no matter the era, were always tragic...

High in the air, after listening to their conversation, Lei Dong gained some understanding of Xiao Yan's situation. He truly had not expected that little chick Xiao Yan to win by borrowing Yao Lao's power. Didn't that mean his own strength really was inferior to Nalan Yanran's?

Although that had happened three years ago, what difference would it make even if he had gone to Canaan Academy? Without the Fallen Heart Flame, and with all sorts of opportunities having been swept away by Lei Dong, just how far could Xiao Yan have progressed by now?

At the same time, Lei Dong felt a trace of confusion. If Xiao Yan had not improved, what gave him the courage to return?

In the original story, he had a Dou Zong-level Medusa helping him. But now? Was he relying on Yao Lao alone?

Just then, Lei Dong sensed several auras approaching the Yun Lan Sect. Among them were no fewer than four Dou Zong-level auras!?

When Lei Dong looked over, he discovered that one of those four Dou Zongs was actually Ling Ying. With Ling Ying appearing, if Lei Dong still did not understand where Xiao Yan's confidence came from, then his intelligence really would have taken a nosedive.

Looking at Xiao Yan's strength again, he seemed to have only just broken through to the Dou Ling stage.

Behind Xiao Yan stood the old man Hai Bodong, whom Lei Dong had once saved. Other than that, there was a vast army.

Clearly, it was only with the support of several great families in the imperial capital and the imperial family that they had assembled such a lineup.

Yun Shan and Yun Yun also sensed those approaching auras. The two immediately rushed to the Yun Lan Sect's plaza, where all the disciples under their command had gathered as well.

After both sides appeared in the Yun Lan Sect's enormous plaza, Yun Shan saw four people standing in the air beside Xiao Yan. In other words, all four had reached the Dou Zong level!? Even the Yun Lan Sect might not be able to contend against four Dou Zong experts! Moreover, Xiao Yan had brought not only those four Dou Zongs, but also several Dou Emperor experts from the Gama imperial capital.

The moment Xiao Yan saw Yun Shan, his face darkened as he immediately cursed, "Yun Shan, you old dog! You destroyed my Xiao Clan and captured my father! I, Xiao Yan, have returned. Today will be the day your Yun Lan Sect is destroyed!"

Yun Shan frowned slightly and said coldly, "You little beast, three years ago you destroyed more than half of my Yun Lan Sect, yet you managed to escape. Today, you actually dare come here to seek death!"

As he spoke, Yun Shan looked toward Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and the others. He said coldly, "Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, are you two old fellows planning to join this little beast in opposing my Yun Lan Sect as well?"

Although Jia Xingtian had not come willingly, he naturally could not play the turncoat now. He said, "Yun Shan, your Yun Lan Sect's ambitions are too great. This old man had no choice but to come!"

Hai Bodong added, "Your Yun Lan Sect wishes to unify the Gama Empire. Old fellows like us, who are used to freedom, naturally have no desire to become your slaves."

Yun Shan clenched his fists tightly, continuously sending voice transmissions to the Soul Hall Protector, hoping he would come out and help. Yet the Soul Hall Protector gave no response whatsoever. Left with no choice, Yun Shan roared, "Yun Lan Sect disciples, heed my command! Form the Cloud Mist Sun Covering Formation!"

Yun Shan knew very well that they would certainly lose in a direct clash. Only by relying on their sect-protecting grand formation could they have a chance to fight.

Xiao Yan had experienced the terror of this array formation before. The Yun Lan Sect had not been this powerful in the past, yet they had still struggled to break it. Now that the Yun Lan Sect had nearly ten Dou Wang and Dou Emperor experts, how could he not panic?

He immediately shouted, "Elder Ling, attack quickly! Don't let them form the formation!"
