The Dou Emperor Expert Was Xiao Chen? Impossible!

After the Amethyst Winged Lion King left, Xiao Yi Xian remained standing where she was, unable to recover her senses for a long while.

She looked toward the direction in which the Amethyst Winged Lion King had vanished, then at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with shock.

"You... you really subdued that sixth-tier magical beast?"

Xiao Chen waved a hand. "It was nothing."

Xiao Yi Xian took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in her heart.

Nothing?

That was a sixth-tier magical beast, an existence equivalent to a Dou Emperor.

There were only a handful of Dou Emperors in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Yet Xiao Chen spoke so casually, as though subduing a sixth-tier magical beast was nothing more than a trivial matter.

This...

Xiao Yi Xian opened her mouth, wanting to say something more.

Xiao Chen glanced at her and said flatly, "I still have matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he circulated the Dou Qi within his body, and a pair of Dou Qi wings unfurled from his back.

With a tap of his toes, he shot into the sky and flew toward Wutan City.

Xiao Yi Xian stood where she was, her gaze lingering in the direction Xiao Chen had disappeared for a long time.

Wutan City, Xiao Clan.

Xiao Chen withdrew his Dou Qi wings and landed in the Side Courtyard.

He pushed open the door, walked inside, closed it behind him, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Closing his eyes, the cultivation method for Three Thousand Lightning Movement emerged in his mind.

A high-grade Earth-tier movement Dou Skill. Once cultivated to mastery, one could transform into lightning and travel a thousand miles in an instant.

Xiao Chen circulated the Dou Qi in his body and began cultivating.

The Dou Qi flowed along a specific route, cycling continuously through the meridians in his legs.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

Xiao Chen could clearly feel the meridians in his legs being widened by the Dou Qi.

The sensation was somewhat painful, but he gritted his teeth and did not stop.

Time passed little by little.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

A sharp glint flashed through his eyes as he rose from the bed.

Whoosh.

A sound of rushing wind rang out, and Xiao Chen's figure moved from the bedside to the doorway.

He was incredibly fast, completing the movement almost instantly.

A smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face.

Three Thousand Lightning Movement had advanced another step.

Just as he was about to continue cultivating, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding. Detected that the bound target, Xiao Yan, has gained twenty percent of Ya Fei's favorability."

"The host has received feedback."

"Calculating feedback..."

"Congratulations, host. Ya Fei's favorability has increased by seventy percent."

Xiao Chen could not help smiling when he heard the reward.

Xiao Yan had merely made a trip to the Mittal Auction House and gained twenty percent of Ya Fei's favorability.

He did not have to do anything and directly received seventy percent.

This feeling of stealing someone else's opportunity was truly not bad.

Xiao Chen put away his thoughts and continued cultivating Three Thousand Lightning Movement.

The sound of rushing wind rang out continuously as Xiao Chen's figure left behind one afterimage after another throughout the room.

If anyone entered at this moment, they would not be able to see his figure clearly at all.

Xiao Chen stopped and took a deep breath.

Three Thousand Lightning Movement was more or less fully cultivated.

He stood up, pushed open the door, and walked into the courtyard.

Several days later, the main hall of the Misty Cloud Sect.

Yun Yun sat in the sect leader's seat, looking down at Nalan Yanran below.

"Teacher, my strength has already risen to the ninth stage of Dou Qi."

Nalan Yanran spoke, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"It is all thanks to the Purple Crystal Source that Teacher brought back. Otherwise, I could not have improved so quickly."

Yun Yun nodded but said nothing.

She knew clearly that she had not obtained the Purple Crystal Source. It had been obtained by that young man named Xiao Chen.

Without him, let alone obtaining the Purple Crystal Source, she might not even have been able to leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range alive.

"Teacher, have you found out the identity of that Dou Emperor expert?" Nalan Yanran asked.

Yun Yun glanced at her and said flatly, "I have."

Nalan Yanran hurriedly asked, "Who is he?"

"The Xiao Clan's third young master, Xiao Chen," Yun Yun said.

Nalan Yanran froze for a moment, thinking she had misheard.

"Teacher, what did you say? The Xiao Clan's third young master?"

"Yes," Yun Yun said.

"Impossible." Nalan Yanran immediately shook her head. "I have seen the Xiao Clan's third young master. Like Xiao Yan, he is nothing but trash. After cultivating for so many years, he is still only at the third stage of Dou Qi. How could he possibly be a Dou Emperor?"

"Besides, even the strongest member of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Zhan, is only a Da Dou Shi. How could he possibly have nurtured a Dou Emperor?"

"Teacher, could the information be wrong?"

Yun Yun looked at her without speaking.

She also hoped the information was wrong.

But the results of the investigation were crystal clear. That person was indeed the Xiao Clan's third young master, Xiao Chen.

"The information is correct," Yun Yun said. "I have already confirmed it."

Nalan Yanran's expression changed as she stared at Yun Yun in disbelief.

"Teacher, how is that possible? When I went to the Xiao Clan to break off the engagement last time, he was only at the third stage. How could someone like that be a Dou Emperor?"

Yun Yun fell silent for a moment before saying, "Yanran, was Xiao Yan, whose engagement you broke off, his younger brother?"

Nalan Yanran nodded. "Yes."

"Xiao Chen is his third brother."

Yun Yun's brows furrowed upon hearing this.

"Yanran, I'm afraid your broken engagement has caused a huge problem."

Nalan Yanran raised her head and looked at Yun Yun. "Teacher, do you mean Xiao Chen?"

Yun Yun paused before saying, "If Xiao Chen truly is a Dou Emperor, then the force behind him may be even more terrifying than we imagined."

"A Dou Emperor in his teens cannot possibly lack the backing of a major force."

"The Misty Cloud Sect cannot afford to offend someone like that."

Nalan Yanran's face turned pale, her eyes filled with fear.

Yun Yun was silent for a moment before standing up.

"I will personally make a trip to the Xiao Clan."

Nalan Yanran froze. "Teacher, you are going to the Xiao Clan?"

"I will personally confirm whether that Xiao Chen truly is the Xiao Clan's third young master," Yun Yun said. "If he is..."

She did not continue.

If he was, then the Misty Cloud Sect had truly caused trouble.

Outside the Xiao Clan's gates.

Yun Yun raised her head, looked at the Xiao Clan's gates, and took a deep breath.

"Let's go."

She stepped inside, and Nalan Yanran hurriedly followed.

The two passed through several corridors and arrived at the Xiao Clan's main hall.

Xiao Zhan was sitting in the seat of honor. When he saw Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran enter, he hurriedly stood up.

"Sect Leader Yun, what brings you here?"

"Clan Leader Xiao, please forgive my presumptuous visit," Yun Yun said flatly.

"Sect Leader Yun is too polite." Xiao Zhan cupped his hands. "May I ask what business brings Sect Leader Yun to my Xiao Clan?"

"I wish to see someone," Yun Yun said.

Xiao Zhan froze for a moment. "Who?"

"Xiao Chen."

Xiao Zhan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

"Please wait a moment, Sect Leader Yun. I will have someone summon him," Xiao Zhan said.

He turned to a clan member. "Go and summon Chen'er."

The clan member acknowledged the order and ran off.

Yun Yun stood in the main hall without speaking.

Nalan Yanran stood behind her, looking around the Xiao Clan's main hall.

She had been to the Xiao Clan before. The last time, she had come to break off an engagement.

At that time, she had stood here and humiliated Xiao Yan before everyone in the Xiao Clan.

Now she had come again, yet this time she was here to visit Xiao Chen.

Nalan Yanran's feelings were somewhat complicated, but she said nothing.

Before long, the clan member ran back.

"Clan Leader, the third young master said he is cultivating and has no time to come."

"He told Sect Leader Yun to wait."
