"It's not good luck. This is your true strength. Haha, to be honest, even Brother Liu and I admire you very much now." Little Princess chuckled.
Liu Ling, who had always been arrogant, forced out an ugly smile that could barely be considered friendly, and also gave Little Doctor Immortal a stiff hand-over gesture.
Called someone else, Liu Ling might say some harsh words at this moment, but when he thinks that Little Doctor Immortal is now a sixth-grade alchemist like his master Pill King Gu He, Liu Ling doesn't even dare to say harsh words at this moment.
Smiling slightly, Little Doctor Immortal glanced at the thrilling competition venue, then said hello to Little Princess, and then walked towards the square. Since the conference has ended, there is no use staying here to accept countless cheers. It is better to go see Xiao Yan.
"Hey, let's go too." Looking at the back of a white group of people slowly disappearing in the passage, Liu Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head, said to Little Princess, and followed him slowly.
As the three people left the stage one by one, Alchemist Grand Meeting, which had become the most watched in the Imperial Capital these days, finally slowly came to an end.
Arriving at the VIP stage, Little Doctor Immortal received another burst of congratulations. Then, after receiving the championship reward from Fama on behalf of the Alchemist Guild, he came directly to Xiao Yan's side and took Xiao Yan's arm.
Seeing this scene, Fama, Hai Bodong, and Elder Jia present looked at each other in confusion, and then they all started to get angry.
Nalan Yanran and Yao Ye narrowed their beautiful eyes slightly, as if electric light was flashing.
As for Ya Fei, her long legs were crossed, and Demon Charm had a playful and mysterious smile on her pretty face.
Little Doctor Immortal was stared at by everyone, and two blushes suddenly appeared on his face. The whole person also hid behind Xiao Yan.
After a long time, the laughter subsided.
"Xiao Yan boy, Alchemist Grand Meeting is over, what are your plans next?" Hai Bodong stopped laughing and looked at Xiao Yan curiously and asked.
As soon as he said this, everyone else looked at Xiao Yan, especially Nalan Yanran, whose beautiful eyes were staring at Xiao Yan. She wanted to know how Xiao Yan managed to transform from a fighter to a strong Dou Zong in just half a year.
Facing everyone's gaze, Xiao Yan smiled lightly and said, "Tomorrow, we will visit Cloud Mist Sect."
Hearing this, the scene fell silent, and immediately everyone looked at Nalan Yanran.
The story between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan has been heard by all the big families in the imperial capital. Therefore, when Xiao Yan, the young man Dou Zong, visited Cloud Mist Sect, everyone immediately thought of that incident.
Pursing her lips, Nalan Yanran stared at Xiao Yan with her beautiful eyes, "Xiao Yan, didn't you say..."
Xiao Yan understood what Nalan Yanran was thinking at a glance, and immediately waved his hand, "Don't worry, the matter between you and me is over long ago, and I have no interest in coming to provoke you out of boredom."
"This visit to the Cloud Mist Sect is mainly for a transaction with Sect Master Yun Yun. Go tell Sect Master Yun Yun and just say three 'favors', and she will understand what I am talking about."
After that, Xiao Yan turned around and left with Little Doctor Immortal and Little Qing Lin, leaving the Alchemist Grand Meeting VIP table.
On the same spot, Nalan Yanran calmed down after he came to his senses. However, when he thought that Xiao Yan said carelessly, 'Things between you and me are over,' he felt inexplicably depressed. However, after he came back to his senses, Nalan Yanran said goodbye to the Hai Bodong people around him and left, heading straight towards the Cloud Mist Sect.
No matter what, when a strong Dou Zong comes to visit, it is a major event for the Cloud Mist Sect.
Until Nalan Yanran disappeared completely, Fama suddenly looked at Hai Bodong, his old face became extremely solemn, "Elder Hai, do you mean that little friend Xiao Yan is really just visiting Cloud Mist Sect today?"
"Do you have any inside information?"
"How do I know any inside information!" Hai Bodong looked at Fama, Yao Ye, Elder Jia, Mu Chen and others all looked at him with probing eyes, spread his hands and said speechlessly, "Didn't that guy say he wanted to go to the Cloud Mist Sect to discuss a deal? We'll find out tomorrow when we go to the Cloud Mist Sect to visit!"
Hearing this, Fama, Elder Jia, Mu Chen... all nodded.
Half an hour later, Cloud Mist Sect hall.
"What? Young Sect Master, you said that Xiao Yan was now a strong Dou Zong? And he is coming to visit our Cloud Mist Sect tomorrow?" Misty Cloud Sect Great Elder Yun Leng looked at Nalan Yanran with disbelief.
Nalan Yanran nodded, and then added, "Xiao Yan said he wanted to make a deal with the master."
Hearing this, Yun Leng shook his head, "No, the sect master is now in seclusion. He is at the critical moment of impacting Dou Zong like the old sect master. He must not be disturbed!"
"Then, what should we do?" Nalan Yanran looked a little anxious when he heard this.
"Forget it, young master, don't worry. Since little friend Xiao Yan will come to visit our Cloud Mist Sect tomorrow, let us entertain him well first, and we will talk about everything later."
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran thought about it and felt that there was no other way for the time being, so he nodded in agreement with Yun Leng Great Elder's suggestion.
After Nalan Yanran left the hall, the expression on old Yun Leng's face became expressionless, but there was a sneer in his gloomy eyes, and he said to himself,
"From a fighter to Dou Zong in half a year? What a joke!"
"Even the young sect master was promoted to Dou Huang only after the sect master obtained the ancient elixir. How could a countryman from a small city get an opportunity comparable to or surpassing the ancient elixir?!"
"Hmph! Visiting Cloud Mist Sect? Then let a country boy like you see the power of my Cloud Mist Sect tomorrow!"
"..."
The next day, the fiery red sun broke through the horizon and jumped out. In an instant, the warm sunshine shone on the earth.
In the room, Xiao Yan got up and put on a deep black robe, which gave Xiao Yan's delicate face a sense of mystery.
After smearing his face with cold water, Xiao Yan looked up at the fair and elegant face in the mirror, smiled lightly, stretched out his right hand, Storage Ring's light flashed, and a giant black ruler as tall as Xiao Yan suddenly appeared!
He grasped the handle of the ruler and turned the ruler over. The strong pressure blew a breeze in the room. With a slight sound, the huge black ruler was inserted diagonally on the back.
Clapping his palms, Xiao Yan pushed out the door, woke up Little Doctor Immortal and Little Qing Lin, and walked down to the hotel. After having breakfast together, the three of them walked along the street at a leisurely pace, out of the city gate, and stood on a high slope outside the city gate.
He raised his head and stared at the distance. The huge snow-white mountain peaks stood tall and towering. There was a faint sound of swords, rising into the sky.
Cloud Mist Sect, Jia Ma Empire is the most powerful force. The uninterrupted inheritance from generation to generation has allowed this ancient sect to stand on the top of the Jia Ma Empire. If Unless it was because of the sect's canon that one could not seize the power of the emperor, I am afraid that during the changes of imperial dynasties several times in the past, Cloud Mist Sect had completely taken control of the entire Jia Ma Empire.
And precisely because of this, the royal family of each generation of the empire is extremely afraid of this behemoth that is so close at hand. When it comes to the current Jia Ma Imperial Family, because of the protection of the guardian Jia Xingtian and the mysterious beast, this generation of The royal family finally has some strength that can make Cloud Mist Sect even a little afraid. Therefore, the elite army that Jia Ma Imperial Family dispatched at the foot of Cloud Mist Mountain has been living in peace and harmony.
The royal generals have been stationed here for many years, and their purpose is almost clear to everyone. They are on guard against the Cloud Mist Sect.
Cloud Mist Sect did not react too violently to this move of the royal family. Except for the fact that some young disciples in the sect were angry at first and went to the military camp to cause trouble occasionally, the senior officials in the sect remained silent on this matter. Because they also know that other people are not allowed to snore next to the bed, and the emperor's family is very suspicious. They have long been accustomed to this. As long as Cloud Mist Sect does not collapse for a day, then the legion at the foot of the mountain will never dare to make the slightest move.
No Jia Ma Empire dynasty dares to really take action against the Cloud Mist Sect, because they all know clearly that one poke of this huge hornet's nest can turn the world upside down.
Cloud Mist Sect is built on Cloud Mist Mountain, and Cloud Mist Mountain is only a few dozen miles away from the imperial capital. The two are very close to each other, like two behemoths relying on each other.
When the sun that broke through the horizon slowly climbed into the sky, the Xiao Yan trio finally stopped and stood on a slope, looking at the foot of the huge mountain at the end of their sight. At the foot of the mountain, huge military camps appeared in rolling hills on the flat grass. Through the white tents, they could vaguely see some soldiers training.
"Sure enough, as others said, Jia Ma Imperial Family has stationed elite troops under Cloud Mist Mountain." Little Doctor Immortal looked at these military camps curiously, "It seems that Jia Ma Imperial Family is very afraid of the Cloud Mist Sect..."
"However, can an army composed of so many ordinary people really be a deterrent to the Cloud Mist Sect?"
"Why do I feel like this is more like provocation?"
"Maybe they are just cannon fodder... they have nothing to do with us, let's go." Looking back, Xiao Yan shook his head, walked down the slope, followed the road, and slowly approached the foot of the mountain.
Although the military camp here was extremely well-defended, there was no obstruction for passers-by who wanted to go up the mountain. Therefore, Xiao Yan was only casually glanced at by a few soldiers standing guard on the roadside, and then he easily followed the road and climbed to the foot of the mountain.
As lush greenery began to appear on both sides, the sound of soldiers practicing in his ears gradually dissipated. He raised his head slightly, and what appeared in front of Xiao Yan was the bluestone steps that spread to the end of his sight. At a glance, they looked like Tongtian Jiaozhu's ladder.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yan raised his head and stared at the ancient stone steps that had existed for who knows how many years. He slowly closed his eyes. There seemed to be a faint sound of sword clanging, coming down clearly from the end of the stone steps and echoing quietly in the mountains and forests, like the sound of a bell, which was intoxicating.
"As expected of the first sect of the Jiama Empire, this station..."
With a sigh of admiration, Xiao Yan continued to climb the mountain with Little Doctor Immortal and Little Qing Lin.
At the end of the long stone steps, clouds and mist shrouded, and behind the clouds, there was a huge square. The square was completely paved with huge stones, looking simple and majestic. In the center of the square, a huge stone tablet stood majestically. On the stone tablet, the lives of the Cloud Mist Sect's previous sect leaders and those who had made great contributions to the sect were recorded.
Looking around the square, there are nearly a thousand people sitting cross-legged in it. These people are sitting in a semicircle. Without exception, they are all wearing moon-white robes. On the cuffs, cloud-colored swords are floating in the wind, like living creatures, faintly holding a faint Sword Intent.
At the top of the square, there are some towering stone pedestals. The steps gradually go up, and the older you go up, the older you get. The highest level of the stone pedestal is currently empty, and no one is sitting on it. Below it, there are more than a dozen people sitting cross-legged, eyes closed. God's white-robed old men, although these old men don't have any special features on the surface, but the robes on their bodies are like steel, no matter how the wind blows, they don't move at all, but they make people know in their hearts that these old men are not simple!
Although there were nearly a thousand people in the square, there was total silence in the square. Apart from the whistling of the wind, there was no other sound.
Occasionally, a strong gust of wind blew across the square. Suddenly, as far as the eye could see, white robes were fluttering, like clouds falling from the sky. Such a sight, at a glance, was quite shocking.
Sometimes suddenly there was a sound of breaking wind in the air, and soon a figure appeared on the top of the towering tree. Looking over the camera, I realized that there were many figures standing on the top of some giant trees around the square. Not only Hai Bodong was here, but also Fama, Jia Xingtian, even Nalan Jie and several other family heads and juniors, such as Mu Zhan and others who had a conflict with Xiao Yan last time, are all here. It seems that this time, Cloud Mist Sect has invited quite a few people.
The arriving figures did not make any bold noises to break the quiet atmosphere in the square. Although some powerful Cloud Mist Sect disciples were aware of these arriving guests, they did not react at all. They sat cross-legged on the ground quietly, as if they had received the order long ago.
At this moment, a woman wearing a moon robe quickly walked out of the sect hall at the rear. The robe clung to her delicate body, revealing the perfect curvy figure underneath. It was, Nalan Yanran!
At this moment, Nalan Yanran's face was dark, especially when he walked out of the hall and saw the battle at the scene, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably!
Finally, his eyes were fixed on Great Elder Yun Leng in front of him. Nalan Yanran almost wanted to curse!
Is this what you said yesterday about entertaining Xiao Yan?!
At this moment, Nalan Yanran regrets that he went to master Yun Yun's retreat yesterday to practice, otherwise he would never let Yun Leng Great Elder do such nonsense!
