Nalan Jie's Shock! Revealing Dou Zong Strength?

Hai Bodong's expression was shocked. As Ice Emperor, one of the ten strongest experts in the Jia Ma Empire, he was certainly no stranger to exotic flames.

The rarest things in heaven and earth were exotic flames, possessing destructive power.

Furthermore, the difficulty of subduing an exotic flame was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Hai Bodong's expression turned solemn. Could it be that this Mr. Yao before him was not only a fifth-grade alchemist but also potentially a Dou Huang expert, and had even subdued an exotic flame?

Hai Bodong suddenly felt very fortunate.

For the words he had just spoken to Yao Chen.

He decided that when he returned to the imperial city of the Jia Ma Empire and back to the Miteer Family.

He would definitely mobilize the family's power to give Yao Chen the greatest support and obtain his friendship and camaraderie.

The future benefits would be immeasurable!

After Yao Chen dealt with the mercenaries before him, he glanced at the girl whose clothes had just been torn, paid her no mind, and turned to leave.

It was already half an hour later when he returned to the Xiao Clan in Wutan City.

He took off his black robe, but his soul had not yet withdrawn from Xiao Yan, and he was still controlling Xiao Yan's body.

Not long after entering the Xiao Clan, he saw Xiao Xun'er walking over and saying to Xiao Yan.

"Brother Xiao Yan, where have you been all day? Do you know that an unprecedented major event has happened in our Wutan City today?"

"What major event?"

"The Miteer Auction House in Wutan City recently received a fifth-grade pill, which attracted the Miteer Family and the Nalan Family, the family of your former fiancée. They have all come to Wutan City to participate in this auction."

"Moreover, the Nalan Family's elder, Nalan Jie, is currently in the main hall of our Xiao Clan, talking with Uncle Xiao. Do you want to go in?"

Yao Chen walked into the main hall of the Xiao Clan.

He saw Nalan Jie and his son Nalan Su talking with Xiao Zhan.

Nalan Jie spoke.

"Xiao Zhan, my father and I once betrothed our two children. It was originally a good intention to bring the two families closer after a hundred years, but unexpectedly, it backfired and became what it is today."

"Yanran, that child, was indeed too willful. I reprimanded her quite a bit after I learned about her coming to break off the engagement."

"As for the three-year agreement between the two children, it's ultimately just children's talk. We elders don't need to take it too seriously."

Nalan Jie did not look down on the Xiao Clan.

It was only out of consideration for his own reputation, not wanting to be accused of being untrustworthy.

Otherwise, in his heart, he also looked down on the Xiao Clan.

When Xiao Yan was only at the third stage of Dou Qi, he was indeed too weak, and the gap between him and Yanran was truly too large.

Xiao Zhan was well aware of the vast gap between himself, Nalan Jie, and their Nalan Family.

The Nalan Family was a family of Dou Wang experts.

With the Cloud Mist Sect backing them, their small Xiao Clan had no right to speak or offer opinions to them.

Perhaps, with a casual flick of their fingers, they could destroy the Xiao Clan.

Xiao Zhan could only say, "Since things have come to this, I think the engagement should be dropped. As for the three-year agreement between the two children, let them resolve it themselves."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yan walk in from outside the hall.

"Yan'er, you're here. This is Grandpa Nalan Jie, an old friend of your grandfather's." Xiao Zhan introduced.

"You are Xiao Yan. It's been many years since I last saw you; you've grown so much." Nalan Jie said with a smile.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was possessed by Yao Chen, who controlled his actions and body.

Facing Nalan Jie's address, Yao Chen didn't even spare him a glance.

A mere Dou Wang was nothing in Yao Chen's eyes now.

Yao Chen couldn't be bothered to deal with him and directly sat in his seat.

"This Xiao Yan, I didn't expect such a mere trash at the third stage of Dou Qi to be so arrogant. Fortunately, Yanran didn't marry him." Nalan Su said to himself.

Nalan Jie's expression was also extremely displeased.

He hadn't expected that in front of him, a Dou Wang expert, Xiao Yan, a piece of trash at the third stage of Dou Qi, would be so arrogant.

Putting aside his strength as a Dou Wang expert, he was also an old friend of Xiao Yan's grandfather.

This Xiao Yan was surprisingly disrespectful to his elders.

Just as Nalan Su was about to reprimand him, Nalan Jie was surprised to notice a flash of pale white flame in Xiao Yan's pupils, which disappeared in an instant.

Nalan Jie seemed to have thought of something.

His expression changed drastically, and he stopped Nalan Su from continuing.

Two hours later, Nalan Jie and Nalan Su, father and son, left the Xiao Clan.

Nalan Su spoke.

"Father, why didn't you let me scold that brat Xiao Yan just now when we were at the Xiao Clan?"

"Even if Yanran coming to break off the engagement was improper, our personal visit should at least show our Nalan Family's apology to the Xiao Clan."

"If it weren't for the sake of his grandfather, this insignificant Xiao Clan wouldn't be worthy of a personal visit from our Nalan Family."

"For him, a junior, to be so disrespectful to his elders is simply outrageous."

Nalan Jie's expression suddenly turned solemn.

If he hadn't misread, the flame that flashed in Xiao Yan's pupils seemed to be an exotic flame.

Could it be that Xiao Yan had stumbled upon some fortuitous encounter, actually managing to subdue an exotic flame?

But with his current strength, attempting to absorb an exotic flame would be no different from seeking death.

Even a Dou Huang expert would still face the risk of instant annihilation when absorbing an exotic flame.

Let alone his strength, which wasn't even at the Dou Zhe level?

Had he just seen incorrectly?

So many questions filled Nalan Jie with curiosity and bewilderment.

He couldn't figure it out, so he decided to stop thinking about it for the time being.

What Nalan Jie cared about most now was Mr. Yao in Wutan City, who could refine fifth-grade pills.

He went to the Miteer Auction House and sought out Ya Fei, who had a good relationship with Yao Chen.

He wanted her to introduce them and arrange a meeting with Yao Chen.

Nalan Jie thought that, no matter what, they had to establish a friendship with Mr. Yao.

If their Nalan Family had a fifth-grade alchemist, it would be extraordinary.

And it would also be of great help to Yanran's cultivation!

Two days later, Yao Chen was supervising Xiao Yan's training in the back mountains.

Xiao Yan's strength was improving at a very noticeable pace.

"Teacher, at my current speed, breaking through to the ninth stage is just around the corner!"

Xiao Yan said excitedly, looking at Elder Yao before him. He was filled with gratitude; he had never imagined his strength could improve so quickly.

Yao Chen looked at the system panel in front of him and noticed a few lines of text displayed.
