The Battle of the Yun Lan Sect

While Lei Dong was observing Yun Yun, Yun Shan suddenly appeared in front of her.

Seeing Yun Shan, Yun Yun bowed. "Teacher."

"Yun'er, how have you decided about what I told you before?" Yun Shan waved his hand, then asked with slight confusion.

At that, a trace of gloom crossed Yun Yun's pretty face. She shook her head and said, "Teacher, I don't like Gu He. Even if I forced myself to like him, I simply couldn't..."

Ever since Yun Shan learned that Xiao Clan's Xiao Yan had returned, he had been unable to eat or sleep in peace. Although he felt that Xiao Yan was nothing more than an ant, he still felt vaguely uneasy. Thus, Yun Shan had thought of using Yun Yun to win over Rank 6 Alchemist Gu He!

A Rank 6 Alchemist possessed considerable status in the Gama Empire. As long as Gu He wholeheartedly assisted him, Yun Shan believed that unifying the Gama Empire would be a simple matter.

And if he wanted to firmly tie 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 man who had raised her from childhood, how could he not hope that Yun Yun would find someone she truly liked? But his position made that impossible. He sighed and said, "Yun'er, you should understand what kind of situation the Yun Lan Sect is facing now! Taking one step back could very well mean utter ruin."

This was not the first time Yun Yun had heard those words. That was also why, even after learning of Yun Shan's intentions, she could still remain in the Yun Lan Sect.

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

In Yun Yun's eyes, Gu He was not frightening at all. As for Gu He, he was merely her admirer. Even if she did not marry him, giving him the slightest bit of hope was already enough.

It had to be said that an obsequious admirer would always end up a tragedy, no matter the era...

In midair, after listening to their conversation, Lei Dong gained a better understanding of Xiao Yan's situation. He really had not expected that this little chick, Xiao Yan, had won by borrowing Yao Lao's power. Didn't that mean his strength truly had been inferior to Nalan Yanran's?

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

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

In the original story, he had still had Medusa, a Dou Sect-level powerhouse, to help him. But now? Did he have nothing but Yao Lao?

Just then, Lei Dong sensed several auras approaching the Yun Lan Sect. Among them, there were actually four Dou Sect powerhouses!?

When Lei Dong looked over, he discovered that one of those four Dou Sect powerhouses was Ling Ying. With Ling Ying's appearance, if Lei Dong still did not understand where Xiao Yan's confidence came from, his intelligence really would have stopped functioning.

As for Xiao Yan's strength, it seemed that he had only just broken through to the Dou Ling stage.

Behind Xiao Yan stood the old man Hai Bodong, whom Lei Dong had once saved. Apart from him, there was also a vast army.

Clearly, this lineup had been made possible by the assistance of several major clans in the imperial capital and the imperial family.

Yun Shan and Yun Yun also sensed these approaching auras. The two immediately rushed to the Yun Lan Sect's square, while all the disciples under their command appeared there as well.

After both forces appeared in the Yun Lan Sect's enormous square, Yun Shan saw four people standing in the air beside Xiao Yan. In other words, all four of them were Dou Sect-level powerhouses!? Even the Yun Lan Sect might not be able to contend with four Dou Sect powerhouses! Moreover, Xiao Yan had brought more than just those four Dou Sect powerhouses. He also had several Dou Emperor powerhouses from the Gama Empire's imperial capital.

The instant he saw Yun Shan, Xiao Yan immediately cursed furiously with a gloomy expression. "Old dog Yun Shan, 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's brows furrowed slightly. He said coldly, "You little bastard, three years ago you destroyed most of my Yun Lan Sect before escaping. Yet today, you still dare to come here seeking death!"

As he spoke, Yun Shan looked toward Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and the others and said coldly, "Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, you two Old Fellows are planning to join this little bastard in opposing my Yun Lan Sect?"

Although Jia Xingtian had not come willingly, he naturally could not act like a traitor at a time like this. He said, "Yun Shan, your Yun Lan Sect's ambitions are too great. This old man had no choice but to come!"

Hai Bodong also said, "Your Yun Lan Sect wants to unify the Gama Empire. Naturally, we Old Fellows who value our freedom are unwilling to become your slaves."

Yun Shan clenched his fists tightly and repeatedly sent mental transmissions to the Soul Hall Protector, hoping he would come out to help. However, the Soul Hall Protector did not respond in the slightest. With no other option, Yun Shan shouted directly, "Disciples of the Yun Lan Sect, heed my order! Form the Cloud Mist Sun Covering Formation!"

Yun Shan knew very well that they could not possibly defeat their opponents in a head-on clash. They could only rely on their protective formation to have any chance of fighting.

Xiao Yan had personally experienced how terrifying this Array Formation was. The Yun Lan Sect of the past had not been this powerful, yet they had still struggled to break through it. Now that the Yun Lan Sect had nearly a dozen Dou Wang and Dou Emperor powerhouses, how could he not panic?

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