Ascending Misty Cloud Sect, Provoking Nalan Yanran, Revealing the Dagger at Last!

Misty Cloud Sect is located on Misty Cloud Mountain, outside the Jia Ma Imperial Capital.

As the biggest threat to the Jia Ma Imperial Family, the Imperial Family has stationed a large number of troops here. They say it's for drills, but the real meaning is obvious even to the most blind person.

However, as Yun Shan broke through to the Dou Zong, the Jia Ma Empire's army withdrew after the exercise.

But just a few days ago, with Dou Zong Jia Xingtian, the military drills started again.

It's laughable when you think about it.

Xiao Yan stood at the foot of the mountain, gazing at the rugged mountain path that pierced the clouds, and took a step forward.

He moved slowly, as if taking a leisurely stroll after a meal, but with each step, his figure seemed to flash dozens or even hundreds of meters, suddenly appearing on dozens of steps.

At the end of the mountain road, where Cloud Mist swirl.

As Xiao Yan stepped into the Misty Cloud Sect, his vision suddenly opened up, and a large group of the Misty Cloud Sect disciples appeared before him.

These disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect stood in a line, leaving an aisle in the middle.

Initial road

With Yun Yun at the head, Misty Cloud Sect's Grand Elder Yun Leng and Pill King Gu He were positioned behind and to the left and right. Elder Yun Jing and Nalan Yanran followed closely behind.

Besides these, there were a few others that Xiao Yan didn't recognize, presumably some elders of the Misty Cloud Sect.

They spoke in unison.

"Greetings, Master Yan Xiao!"

Xiao Yan nodded and looked at Yun Yun.

"Where is the former sect leader of Yun Shan?"

Yun Yun smiled and said, "My master is waiting inside the sect. Master Yan Xiao, please come with me."

Xiao Yan nodded, ignoring everyone else, including Nalan Yanran, whose gaze had never left him since he appeared.

Following Yun Yun, we walked through the passageway cleared by the Misty Cloud Sect disciples.

Before long, they arrived at the reception room inside the Misty Cloud Sect.

Inside the room, Yun Yun invited Xiao Yan to sit down.

"Please sit down," Yun Yun said politely.

Xiao Yan sat down, and before he could speak, a cup of hot tea was placed on his table.

Turning his head slightly, he saw it was Nalan Yanran.

Yun Yun opposite her, frowned slightly. "Yanran, didn't you ask Elder Yun Jing to pour tea? What are you doing here?"

"Master, Elder Yun Jing is unwell, so I will take care of him in his place." Nalan Yanran's expression remained unchanged.

Yun Yun didn't say much.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly; Nalan Yanran's gaze made him feel a little impatient.

Since that's the case...

He looked at Yun Yun, a thought suddenly occurring to him, "Yun'er, how have you been these days?"

The reception room fell into a deathly silence.

Yun Yun's face quickly turned red.

Nalan Yanran was stiff all over, her eyes glazed over.

"Master..." Nalan Yanran turned her head stiffly to look at Yun Yun, as if she were a rusty machine, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Yun Yun, embarrassed and annoyed, "Master Yan Xiao, please have some self-respect!"

Xiao Yan was determined to deliver a blow to Nalan Yanran's ego, and continued, "Yun'er, don't you remember when you went to the magical beast to obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal for Nalan Yanran, met me, and became my best partner?"

"I think it's a good thing that Yanran broke off the engagement with me."

"We are ultimately not on the same path. If I had to choose between you and her, it would only be you, not her."

Xiao Yan spoke in succession, each sentence a critical hit.

Yun Yun's eyes briefly drifted into reminiscence, recalling that beautiful time, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

When Yun Yun heard Xiao Yan utter such bold words, she felt as if some deep-seated thought of hers had been unearthed, and a sweet feeling spread through her, making her forget all about embarrassment and anger.

Nalan Yanran, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, her breath catching in her throat.

Because of myself, my beloved master and my ex-fiancé ended up having contact? And even...

Nalan Yanran felt an urge to vomit blood.

She couldn't stand it anymore, and disregarding etiquette, she turned and ran out of the reception room.

After Nalan Yanran left, Xiao Yan stopped talking.

Yun Yun slowly came to her senses, her expression incredibly complex.

She bit her lip, turned her head away, and remained silent. "Yanran, she..."

"She has feelings for me, but I don't have feelings for her, so I'm using you to provoke her a little," Xiao Yan said bluntly.

Yun Yun nodded in understanding, but a faint sense of loss arose in her heart.

Xiao Yan touched the area on his mask that looked like his nose, and said casually, "It wasn't entirely out of a desire to provoke her."

Before Yun Yun could react, he immediately asked, "Where is the old sect master of Yun Shan? Isn't he coming?"

Yun Yun instinctively replied, "I'll go get my master right away!"

Yun Yun got up and left the reception room to invite Yun Shan. On the way, she finally realized what had happened.

Wasn't what Xiao Yan said a bit off?

If the intention wasn't entirely to use her to provoke Yanran, does that mean there was some truth to what she said?

Yun Yun's heart pounded violently.

After Xiao Yan for a while, Yun Shan finally appeared at the entrance of the reception room.

He was still wearing his unchanging white robe, holding a scroll in his hand, and said apologetically, "I apologize, Master Yan Xiao, it took me a while to find this prescription."

Xiao Yan was slightly surprised, not expecting that Yun Shan actually had a prescription.

He felt a surge of curiosity and politely said, "No problem, Elder Yun Shan, please have a seat and let me take a look at this prescription."

Yun Shan sat down and said with a smile, "I invited Master Yan Xiao here for this very reason, so naturally there's no problem."

Yun Shan handed over the scroll, which Xiao Yan accepted and opened.

This is a prescription for a Tier 7 Medicinal Pill, requiring numerous Medicinal Herbs and many details to be noted in its preparation.

Xiao Yan used his Soul Power to browse, and it took him several seconds.

To Xiao Yan's surprise, the pills recorded in this Seventh Tier medicine formula were of very high quality.

The pill is called the Spirit-Transforming Soul-Ascension Pill, High Seventh Grade pill. It uses the Soul Body as the main ingredient, supplemented with various soul-related Medicinal Herbs, and can be refined into a pill that directly enhances Soul Power.

Xiao Yan guessed that this prescription probably did not belong to the Misty Cloud Sect.

Show this prescription to yourself...

"They want to test my attitude towards this kind of thing, to see if they can keep me for their use? Even the Soul Hall Protector can't refuse the value of Seventh-Rank Alchemist," Xiao Yan thought to himself.

Xiao Yan shook his head. Since he had already decided to attack the Misty Cloud Sect, he had no other ideas.

feigning compliance?

There's no need for that, just push straight through!

"Sect Master Yun Shan, the method of refining this pill is too cruel and evil; I cannot accept it." Xiao Yan spoke with absolute decisiveness, even preparing to fight immediately.

But when Yun Shan heard his answer, his expression only turned ugly for a moment. Instead of immediately breaking off relations, he continued to laugh.

"I haven't seen that prescription. I naturally believe Master Yan Xiao's assessment of it as cruel and evil," Yun Shan said amiably. "However, I would like to ask, has Master Yan Xiao changed his mind about refining the Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill? Does he have any intention of making a deal?"

The true intentions were revealed at the last minute?

But this image is too short.

Xiao Yan immediately realized that the reason they hadn't completely broken off relations was probably because Protector Wu and Yun Shan wanted to get their hands on his Ice-Fire Energy Gathering Pill as well.

"I've already sent that pill to my friend, so Elder Yun Shan shouldn't even think about it," Xiao Yan said without any politeness.

Yun Shan's face darkened, and he asked again, "Really?"

Xiao Yan did not reply, but glanced at Yun Shan indifferently.

The reception room fell silent and gradually grew cold.

In the seemingly empty meeting room, a hoarse and cold voice, tinged with resentment and anger, rang out.

"Yun Shan, what are you waiting for? Make your move!"
