Obtain Pill Reward!

Yun Yun stepped forward to help Nalan Yanran up, a flicker of anger flashing in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, you have gone too far."

"Too far?" Xiao Yan said indifferently, "She struck first."

Yun Yun fell silent.

She knew that Xiao Yan was telling the truth.

It was Nalan Yanran who had attacked first, and Xiao Yan had merely retaliated.

Yet, seeing her own disciple beaten to such a state, she still felt uneasy in her heart.

"Nalan Yanran is my disciple. By striking her right in front of me, where does that leave me as the Sect Master?" Yun Yun said.

"That is your concern," Xiao Yan replied, "It has nothing to do with me."

Yun Yun's expression darkened, but she did not know what to say.

Nalan Yanran lay in Yun Yun's arms, cursing inwardly.

Xiao Yan, you bastard.

Just you wait; one day, I will make you pay the price.

Yet, she knew clearly in her heart that she was no match for Xiao Yan.

Never mind the present; even if she were given another ten years, she might not be able to defeat him.

This feeling made her feel stifled to the extreme.

"Teacher, he is too arrogant," Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth, "You must seek justice for me."

Yun Yun did not speak.

"Teacher, you are a three-star Dou Emperor," Nalan Yanran said, "If you go all out, he will certainly be no match for you."

Yun Yun glanced at her and said indifferently, "Enough."

Nalan Yanran shut her mouth, unwilling to let it go.

Yun Yun helped Nalan Yanran to the side and turned to face Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, I came here today to seek an explanation for the Misty Cloud Sect."

Xiao Yan looked at her, "What kind of explanation do you want?"

"You killed three elders of the Misty Cloud Sect: Ge Ye, the Fourth Elder, and the First Elder," Yun Yun said, "They were all members of the Misty Cloud Sect. You must provide an account for killing them."

"An account?" Xiao Yan said indifferently, "They wanted to kill me, so I killed them. Is that not an account?"

Yun Yun's expression sank, "You—"

"Do you think it is unfair?" Xiao Yan said, "Then what do you consider fair?"

"Is it only fair if the people of your Misty Cloud Sect come to kill me, and I stand still to let them do it?"

Yun Yun was left speechless.

"You are also a Dou Emperor expert; you should understand the principle of the strong preying on the weak," Xiao Yan said, "They were not skilled enough, so they deserved to die."

"The Dou Qi Continent is just like this; whoever has the bigger fist makes the rules."

"When your Misty Cloud Sect bullied others, did you ever give them an account?"

Yun Yun fell silent.

She knew that Xiao Yan was speaking the truth.

The Dou Qi Continent was exactly like this: strength was respected, and the strong preyed on the weak.

If one was not skilled enough, they could only blame themselves for their death.

How many small families and minor factions had the Misty Cloud Sect bullied over the many years they had run rampant in the Jia Ma Empire?

Back then, had they ever given anyone an account?

Now that it was the Misty Cloud Sect's turn to suffer, she had come asking for one instead.

Yun Yun sighed in her heart.

"I have lost today, so there is nothing to say," Yun Yun said, "Whether you want to kill or torture me, do as you please."

Nalan Yanran's expression changed, "Teacher, what are you saying?"

"He will not kill us," Yun Yun said.

"How do you know?" Nalan Yanran asked.

"If he wanted to kill us, he would have done it already," Yun Yun said, "He wouldn't be wasting so much breath talking to us."

Nalan Yanran was stunned and stopped speaking.

Xiao Yan looked at Yun Yun and said indifferently, "You see things quite clearly."

"I have at least that much discernment," Yun Yun replied.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to speak, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

[Host has assisted Xiao Yan in defeating Misty Cloud Sect Master Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, reward granted.]

[Reward: Formula for the Restored Imperial Extreme Pill.]

[Effect: Removes the restriction that each Dou Emperor may only consume the Imperial Extreme Pill once; consuming it directly increases strength by one to two stars, and it can be used repeatedly.]

[Note: The restored formula is not limited by frequency, and its potency does not diminish with repeated use.]

The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth curled upward slightly.

The Restored Imperial Extreme Pill.

No limit on frequency, no diminishing returns.

What did this mean?

As long as he had enough medicinal ingredients, he could help others increase their strength without limit.

Going from a one-star Dou Emperor to the peak of a nine-star Dou Emperor would be no problem at all.

This reward had come at the perfect time.

Xiao Yan smiled in satisfaction.
