Facing Yun Yun Blade to Blade, Xiao Ze's Choice! [Seeking Follow-ups!]

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran had no choice but to drop the matter.

She then smiled and said, "Teacher is right. Even if Xiao Yan were given ten times the courage, I doubt he would dare to come to our Misty Cloud Sect!"

The Misty Cloud Sect possessed vast resources and influence; the one thing it lacked least was experts.

Not to mention that her teacher was a Dou Emperor, every elder in the sect was at least a Dou King. What could the Xiao Clan possibly use to contend with them?

Besides, that Xiao Yan was nothing but trash, and that Xiao Ze was even more of a king of trash—a lung-cancer-ridden failure.

The Xiao Clan was truly something, birthing nothing but trash to waste the air...

Yun Yun shook her head. "Yanran, sometimes things are not as you imagine them to be. The Xiao Clan is not entirely without merit."

"Your temperament is still too impetuous. Let this matter end here; do not bring it up again in the future."

"I am sorry, Teacher. It is my fault." Nalan Yanran lowered her head.

"It is fine. Consider the affair with the Xiao Clan a lesson. From now on, cultivate diligently and do not let external matters affect you. I will personally groom you to become the next Sect Leader," Yun Yun said earnestly.

"I understand, Teacher." Nalan Yanran nodded.

The day was clear and beautiful, yet within the Imperial Capital, undercurrents were already surging.

Led by the Mite'er Family, Great Elder Mite'er Tengshan stepped forward to mobilize all the family's champions, creating an atmosphere that reeked of rebellion.

The news quickly reached the ears of the Imperial Family.

"What! The Mite'er Family is rebelling? And against the Misty Cloud Sect of all places?"

Hearing the report from his subordinate, Jia Xingtian, the true helmsman of the Jia Ma Empire, was filled with shock.

Had the Mite'er Family gone insane?

How could a mere Dou King dare to do such a thing!

Is there someone else with him? Jia Xingtian thought, sensing something was wrong. Given Mite'er Tengshan's cowardly nature, he would never rebel unless...

"It seems to be the third young master of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Ze. It is rumored that he is already a Dou Emperor!"

"As I thought!" Realization dawned on Jia Xingtian.

The incident where the Misty Cloud Sect's young sect leader, Nalan Yanran, broke off her engagement had caused quite a stir, and almost everyone in the Jia Ma Empire knew of it.

He had not expected the person to arrive to be not Xiao Yan, but the one rumored to be the trash of the Xiao Clan.

However, it was truly surprising that the Xiao Clan had produced a Dou Emperor.

The news of the Mite'er Family's rebellion quickly spread through every street and alley of the Imperial Capital, and the Nalan Family was no exception.

"If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster; if it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. What is meant to come will come eventually." Nalan Jie, the head of the Nalan Family and Nalan Yanran's grandfather, felt a sense of foreboding.

He had vehemently opposed the engagement annulment back then, but he had not expected the retribution to arrive so quickly.

"Father, what should we do?" Nalan Su asked anxiously.

After all, Nalan Yanran was his daughter; if anything were to happen to her, he would not want to live either.

"Look at that spineless display. Do you still have the dignity of a father?" Nalan Jie cast a look of disdain at him.

"Besides, Nalan Yanran has the backing of the Misty Cloud Sect and is its young sect leader. Even if the Xiao Clan throws everything they have at us, they won't be able to harm my granddaughter in the slightest."

Things had reached this point; there was no use in saying more.

Even if they were in the wrong, did that mean the Xiao Clan was entirely blameless?

Once the news of the rebellion broke, the entire Imperial Capital boiled over. Everyone waited with bated breath, though word had not yet reached the Misty Cloud Sect.

But the people of the capital knew the Xiao Clan was coming to demand justice, and to join in the excitement, they had already bought melon seeds, ready to watch the show.

As the saying goes, if it doesn't concern you, stay out of it.

However, they knew the strength of the Misty Cloud Sect. Could a small clan like the Xiao Clan really go head-to-head with them?

Even with the addition of the Mite'er Family, it was merely a drop in the bucket.

The Imperial Family was the best proof of this; the rulers of the nation were forced to bow their heads to the Misty Cloud Sect.

Yet they were helpless, for the power of the Misty Cloud Sect exceeded all imagination.

"Senior Sister, why has the sky gone dark?"

At this moment, in the Misty Cloud Sect, the disciples were practicing swordsmanship outdoors under Nalan Yanran's supervision.

However, the previously clear, cloudless sky had suddenly turned gloomy, creating a sense of oppression as if black clouds were crushing the city, threatening to destroy it.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Nalan Yanran frowned, just about to report to her teacher, when the sound of rapid air-piercing whistles suddenly erupted from the horizon.

It immediately drew everyone's gaze.

They saw nearly ten figures flying in from the horizon, each with dazzling Dou Qi wings on their backs—a truly shocking sight.

This meant that the lowest cultivation level among them was that of a Dou King.

Most importantly, the two leading figures were walking on thin air, flying without the need for Dou Qi wings. They were, without a doubt, two Dou Zong experts!

Two Dou Zong powerhouses—to say nothing of the Misty Cloud Sect, even if you were to combine the entire Jia Ma Empire, you likely wouldn't find two such individuals.

Yet at this very moment, two Dou Zong powerhouses had appeared above the Misty Cloud Sect.

This scene and this situation could only be described as terrifyingly formidable.

The person in the lead was a young man, handsome and aloof.

Beside him was a woman with a peerlessly beautiful face, her every gesture radiating a majesty that made one afraid to look directly at her.

Without a doubt, the young man was Xiao Ze.

He was the rumored trash of the Xiao Clan, even more useless than Xiao Yan; after all, Xiao Yan had a legendary childhood to be proud of, while Xiao Ze had nothing.

Yet contrary to expectations, that trash had come, and he had come with the grandest of gestures to prove that there was no trash in the Xiao Clan.

"Terrifyingly formidable, two Dou Zong powerhouses. Where did the Xiao Clan get them from?"

"Looking at Xiao Ze's aggressive momentum, I fear today will not end well."

"I wonder if the Misty Cloud Sect can hold them off..."

"That person there, could it be the Ice Emperor? One of the empire's ten great powerhouses from the past?"

"Why does that woman look a bit familiar..."

At this moment, all the prominent figures in the Imperial Capital had rushed over. There was no doubt that the battle today might change the entire landscape of the Jia Ma Empire, which forced them to take it seriously.

What shocked them most was that Xiao Ze had managed to gather so many powerhouses from who knows where, to the point where even Dou Kings were reduced to mere background decoration.

"I'm going to get Teacher..."

Nalan Yanran was completely stunned.

The scene before her was no longer something she could handle.

She truly could not understand how that trashy Xiao Clan had produced so many powerhouses, and she was instantly filled with regret.

If not for the annulment of the engagement, there would be no such trouble today, but it was too late to say anything now.

She had to find her master immediately.

"What is going on?" Yun Yun asked, confused.

"Master, it's bad! The Xiao Clan, the Xiao Clan has come, and they say they want to destroy our Misty Cloud Sect!" Nalan Yanran was terrified.

"Destroy the sect?" Yun Yun frowned, thinking to herself, What arrogance. Does the Misty Cloud Sect exist just to be destroyed whenever you say so?

Yet, she felt a vague sense of unease in her heart.

Arriving at the plaza, she saw that the visitors were indeed aggressive.

In her perception, the arrivals included two Dou Zongs, three Dou Emperors, and a number of Dou Kings.

This lineup far exceeded that of her Misty Cloud Sect, and her mood instantly plummeted to the bottom.

But upon seeing the leader clearly, the usually calm and composed face of the Misty Cloud Sect Master turned to astonishment.

"Sect Master Yun, long time no see," Xiao Ze smiled.

"Xiao Ze, how could it be you?"

Yun Yun's pretty face was filled with shock.

When she heard the Xiao Clan had arrived, she assumed Xiao Yan had come to annul the engagement; she never expected, never imagined, it would be him.

"Why couldn't it be me? Sect Master Yun, the cause of the past is the fruit of today. I think you should know how your disciple humiliated my Xiao Clan back then. Now, I have come."

"Why must you do this?" Yun Yun's expression turned bitter.

If she had known the visitor was Xiao Ze, she would never have given herself to him during those days in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, even if it meant being buried by the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Sect Master Yun, I have not come this time for the matter between Nalan Yanran and my fourth brother, but for someone else."

Xiao Ze's gaze turned toward the back mountain of the Misty Cloud Sect.

That was his true objective this time.

This time, he would absolutely not allow his father to be taken away by the people of the Soul Hall again.

"As the Sect Master, I must be responsible for all the disciples of the sect. If you insist on this, then please step over my dead body," Yun Yun said with a resolute expression.

Xiao Ze shook his head. "You know that I will not hurt you. Call Yun Shan out; today, I will surely take his dog life!"
