Junior, How Arrogant! [Please Keep Reading!]

Yun Leng still showed no remorse. Of course, he could not admit that he had sent people to attack Xiao Yan—he had not participated himself.

At this, Xiao Yan clenched his fists. "You old bastard Yun Leng, those assassins confessed before they died that you were behind it, yet you still deny it! What a shameless, brazen Grand Elder of the Cloud Mist Sect!"

Yun Leng glared furiously at Xiao Yan. "You...!"

"Old bastard, do you recognize this man?"

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Tian threw out a corpse—the Dou King expert he had killed earlier. Yun Yun frowned slightly when she saw it. She recognized this man. Wasn't he Yun Nan, an elder of the Cloud Mist Sect? He was one of their elders!

"Sect Master Yun, do you still intend to shield Yun Leng now? Of course, as the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, you cannot escape responsibility either!" As Xiao Tian spoke, power erupted from his arm, and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel came crashing down instantly!

"Ah!" Yun Yun was sent flying back, her delicate body hurtling through the air. But she quickly adjusted herself and charged forward again!

Boom!

Even facing Xiao Tian's Golden Cudgel, she did not retreat. Her Dou Qi was rapidly drained as she raised her slender jade hands to resist it.

Bang!

The Ruyi Golden Cudgel smashed down, destroying vast swathes of the Cloud Mist Sect's buildings.

Yun Yun was blasted away as well. She stabbed her longsword into the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock. He was too strong—she simply could not withstand a single strike from Xiao Tian.

Looking at the ruined Cloud Mist Sect behind her, she was overwhelmed with guilt.

"Master!"

Nalan Yanran could no longer stand by and watch. She stepped forward and shouted, her brows furrowed and fists clenched. "Xiao Yan, is this what you wanted to see? Are you satisfied now?"

"This is all my fault. You've won now. Are you happy?"

Nalan Yanran's eyes reddened as tears streamed down her cheeks and fell to the ground. She felt utterly wronged, with a trace of regret in her heart. "Why did you have to do this?"

"This is between you and me. Why drag the Cloud Mist Sect into it?"

"Can't I, Nalan Yanran, even decide for myself who I like? I know I was wrong about breaking off the engagement. Are you satisfied now? Are you happy?"

"If it weren't for your brother, you would be nothing right now!"

"Your talent is poor, and you won't even let someone break off an engagement! Don't you know that yourself?"

Seeing the sect disciples around her dead and wounded in such numbers, she too felt a wave of pain. These were the junior brothers and sisters she spent every day with!

Yun Yun furrowed her brows tightly and turned around. "Yanran, I was also at fault in the matter of the broken engagement!"

"I did not think it through carefully enough."

Nalan Yanran's screaming left Xiao Yan stunned as well. He clenched his fists. "Nalan Yanran, everything that happened today was brought upon yourselves by the Cloud Mist Sect."

"An assassination attempt is an assassination attempt, and breaking off an engagement is breaking off an engagement. Don't confuse the two."

Medicine Elder reminded him, "Brat, there is no need for you to blame yourself. The Dou Qi Continent has always been like this. What absolute fairness is there? Only after going through all this can a person grow."

"The boy has still experienced too little."

Xiao Tian held the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand. Noticing Xiao Yan's expression, he flew over and raised a hand to pat him on the shoulder.

"Little Yan, why do you look so upset?"

Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled. "I'm not."

Xiao Tian turned to look ahead. "Little Yan, this time, your big brother wanted you to understand that I can destroy the Cloud Mist Sect if I wish to."

"However, sometimes you must rely on yourself to wash away past humiliation."

"Others cannot always help you. Only by resolving it yourself can you truly grow!"

"As I see it, this three-year agreement is not merely cultivation for you—it is also the motivation that drives you forward!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists after hearing that. Yes, he could not remain under his brother's protection forever. Otherwise, he would truly become a flower raised in a greenhouse.

His cultivation was still progressing too slowly.

Medicine Elder stared wide-eyed in shock. "Unbelievable. Is this Xiao Tian really only an eighteen-year-old kid?"

"Sect Master Yun, hand over Yun Leng today."

"Then I will not make things difficult for the Cloud Mist Sect." Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes. "This man crossed my bottom line—he laid hands on a member of the Xiao Clan."

Her pretty face turned slightly pale, yet she still stepped forward. "You are right. As the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, I naturally bear responsibility as well."

"I, Yun Yun, am willing to accept any punishment today!"

"I alone will bear the consequences of his mistakes."

Yun Leng froze upon hearing that, then gritted his teeth. "Sect Master, their rampage through the Cloud Mist Sect is a complete disregard for our sect!"

Yun Yun turned her head and sharply rebuked Yun Leng, "Enough! You committed wrongs and still refuse to admit them! Have you still not realized your mistake?"

Yun Leng shuddered, his fists clenched tightly. Damn Xiao Tian. What he had done to the Cloud Mist Sect today was utterly unforgivable.

Did he expect this old man to apologize and admit fault to a mere brat? Even if he died, he would never agree!

Xiao Tian shook his head lightly. "Since Sect Master Yun insists on protecting him, then I will not hold back. Do not think that I, Xiao Tian, will soften my heart just because you are a woman!"

A complicated expression flashed through Yun Yun's beautiful eyes. "That is not my intention. Yun Leng is the Grand Elder of the Cloud Mist Sect. I cannot simply watch something happen to him."

"Can we stop here today? My Cloud Mist Sect will certainly offer compensation, and we will restrain Yun Leng in the future so that he will never again do anything harmful to your Xiao Clan."

"Moreover, if you are still dissatisfied, I can agree to any one request of yours. I only ask that you do not continue any further!"

"There is no reason we cannot reconcile. If you insist on this, then Yun Yun can only give it her all. Protecting the Cloud Mist Sect is my lifelong responsibility."

Her willow-like brows drew together slightly, her gaze deep and solemn. She raised a hand and gently placed it over her chest, facing Xiao Tian with a most friendly and remorseful attitude.

At this moment, Yun Yun looked pitiful and helpless. Her appearance, her voice, and her manner all seemed like a sincere admission of fault.

It made people feel reluctant to strike after hearing her.

However, Xiao Tian would naturally not be swayed by such things!

Yun Yun was that kind of person. In the original story, when faced with conflicts between love and the sect's interests, she showed a certain indecisiveness. This made the road of her relationship with Xiao Yan extremely difficult. In the conflict between the Cloud Mist Sect and Xiao Yan, she was trapped in the middle, unable to choose either side.

She could be stubborn about certain matters, refusing to give up until she achieved her goal, yet she was gentle by nature, good at getting along with others, and skilled at building good relationships. She could listen to others' needs and was willing to help them, presenting the image of an overly nice person.

Stubborn, yet indecisive!

"Compensation? You think you can compensate like this?"

"Can Yun Leng escape responsibility simply because he is the Grand Elder of the Cloud Mist Sect?"

"If he lives today, then there will be no need for the Cloud Mist Sect to exist!"

Yun Yun's delicate body trembled at Xiao Tian's words, and surprise flashed through her eyes!

In the sky, Xiao Tian no longer bothered arguing with her. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Yun Leng!

At that moment, Yun Leng's eyes widened. The killing intent he felt could not be concealed at all. His entire body shook. "Xiao Tian, this old man is the Grand Elder of the Cloud Mist Sect. Do you know the consequences of killing me?"

Xiao Tian smiled faintly. "So what if I kill you? Even the Cloud Mist Sect itself can be destroyed with a wave of my hand!"

"Without the sect-protecting formation and others to help you, let's see how you escape!"

The next moment, Xiao Tian swung his cudgel directly at Yun Leng. The Golden Cudgel's power was terrifying, something no Dou King would dare to block, especially when Yun Leng was already severely injured.

I'm finished! Yun Leng's pupils contracted.

Yun Yun raised her hand, her eyes filled with terror. "Xiao Tian, don't!"

There was no choice. If this continued, this old man would surely die! I can only do this!

"Old Sect Master, save me!" At that moment, Yun Leng crushed a token in his hand, and a beam of light shot into the sky!

In a cultivation cave at the back mountain of the Cloud Mist Sect, a white-haired man suddenly opened his eyes. White energy surged from his gaze!

Boom!

Then he burst through the cave where he had been in seclusion and flew out!

"Young brat, how arrogant!"
