The End

A cool breeze swept across the sky, bringing a chill that instantly snapped those watching back to reality.

"Ice Emperor, what is the meaning of this?" Seeing the Elder Hai, with its Ice Crystal Wings extending from its back, soaring sharply into the sky, Yun Yun asked with a hint of chill in her voice.

"For some reason, I promised Xiao Yan that I would escort him safely down the mountain." Elder Hai replied calmly to Yun Yun's words.

"My Misty Cloud Sect is not one to be a sore loser." As soon as Elder Hai finished speaking, Yun Yun immediately spoke to Elder Hai in a chilling tone. After Yun Yun finished speaking, her gaze shifted from Elder Hai to Xiao Yan below.

"In this match, my Misty Cloud Sect concedes defeat!" Yun Yun's voice rang out again after turning her gaze to Xiao Yan.

Yun Yun's soft voice was even more intense to those present than the powerful impact of the Dou Technique from before.

Although everyone knew the outcome from Yun Yun's actions, her admission of defeat as the Misty Cloud Sect Master of Yun Yun shattered the last glimmer of hope for these Misty Cloud Sect Disciples. They could only reluctantly accept the fate of Nalan Yanran, Nalan Yanran girl nurtured by both the Misty Cloud Sect and the Nalan Family, as the next Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, who had failed in this competition.

Hearing Yun Yun admit defeat, both Elder Hai and Lin Ming breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they didn't want to have any conflict with Lin Ming Misty Cloud Sect Elder Hai. At least for now, Lin Ming didn't want to provoke Yun Shan.

"Xiao Yan, I have also heard that Yan Ran mentioned the agreement that if she lost, but as the next successor of our Misty Cloud Sect, Yan Ran one would allow such a thing to happen. However, it was Yan Ran herself who said it, and now our Misty Cloud Sect has broken its promise. Therefore, you can make a reasonable request, whether it is a high-level Cultivation Method, Dou Technique, or high-level pill, our Misty Cloud Sect will satisfy you as the price for breaking the promise." Yun Yun then spoke again.

"Sect Master Yun, since you've admitted defeat, then this Three Year Agreement ends here. As for Nalan Yanran's promise back then, I, Xiao Yan, have never been particularly interested in it. So, compensation is unnecessary. I, Xiao Yan, will repeat what I said three years ago today. Nalan Yanran, from this day forward, you and my Yun Yun Xiao Family have no further connection whatsoever." Despite his exhaustion, Xiao Yan spoke with a relaxed tone, his voice echoing across the plaza.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the show is over. Now it's time to go home!"

With a smile, Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at Fa Ma and the others, then took a step forward, pulled out the Black Heavy Ruler from the ground, and stuck it into his back. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, he slowly walked out of the square.

Sunlight streamed down from the sky, gradually lengthening Xiao Yan's shadow until it completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Sect Master Yun, now that the competition is over, we'll be taking our leave." After seeing that Xiao Yan had disappeared from sight, Lin Ming didn't linger any longer and immediately stood up to bid farewell to Yun Yun.

Misty Cloud Sect invited everyone here to showcase the power of their next Sect Master. Judging from Nalan Yanran's Dou Technique, she is indeed almost unmatched among the younger generation. However, no one expected to encounter the even more monstrous Xiao Yan, which led to the sect's next successor being defeated by his opponent.

Given this situation, no one would feel comfortable staying any longer. So much so that after Lin Ming spoke up, the others also suggested leaving.

Given what had happened, Yun Yun naturally couldn't keep them any longer. So, after Yun Yun apologized for the poor hospitality, the guests all left the mountain.

"Elder Hai, Brother Lin, thank you for your help. Xiao Yan is very grateful." Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yan immediately expressed his gratitude to Lin Ming and Elder Hai.

"Haha, it's just a promise I made after receiving your favor." Elder Hai replied with a smile in response to Xiao Yan's thanks.

"Xiao Yan, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to the Jia Nan Academy?" Lin Ming asked after Elder Hai finished speaking.

"Big Brother Lin, this Three Year Agreement is coming to an end, and it's about time to go to the Jia Nan Academy. So I'll go back to the family in the next couple of days and then head to the Jia Nan Academy." Xiao Yan replied after Lin Ming asked.

"Jia Nan Academy is a good place where you can meet geniuses from all over the world. But with your abilities, Xiao Yan, you'll be able to thrive there too," Lin Ming said with a hint of reminiscence after Xiao Yan finished speaking.

"Brother Lin, you flatter me. Compared to you, Xiao Yan is nothing. But since Brother Lin has specifically mentioned Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Yan's longing for it has only grown stronger." Upon hearing Lin Ming's praise, Xiao Yan immediately replied humbly.

"Haha, little brother Xiao Yan, you're probably more looking forward to your little girlfriend Xun Er!" Lin Ming said playfully after hearing Xiao Yan's words.

"Brother Lin... Brother Lin, Xun Er isn't..." Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Xiao Yan scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Haha. Alright, Xiao Yan, let's go celebrate for you, celebrate your victory in the Three Year Agreement competition." Seeing Xiao Yan's embarrassed expression, Lin Ming Xiao Yan interrupted him with a laugh.

After he finished speaking, Lin Ming didn't give Xiao Yan a chance to speak. He put his arm around Xiao Yan's shoulder and walked forward.

As night fell, Xiao Yan looked at the people who had arrived and could only helplessly offer them drinks and keep them company in turn.

Lin Ming originally intended it to be a simple celebration, but in this Jia Ma Imperial City, how could such a celebration be kept secret from the Great Family? As a result, it wasn't long before people from the Great Family arrived one after another.

Simply by winning the Alchemist Grand Meet, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan gained favor with the Great Family, not to mention his current display of such powerful Cultivation Talent.

In just three short years, Xiao Yan went from a useless Dou Qi Stage Three to someone capable of defeating Nalan Yanran, a prodigy nurtured by the Misty Cloud Sect and the Nalan Family, two behemoths within the Jia Ma Empire. This demonstrates just how terrifying Xiao Yan's talent truly is.

Although this trip might offend the Misty Cloud Sect and the Nalan Family, Xiao Yan's current talent makes him worthy of their friendship.

Moreover, this time the royal family and the Alchemist Guild led the way to offer their congratulations, so there were many people present.
