"How could that be? If the Xiao Family had a Dou Emperor, why would they be holed up in such a tiny city? How is that possible, Teacher?"
Nalan Yanran simply could not believe that the Xiao Family had a Dou Emperor-level expert. A Dou Emperor was among the most powerful beings in the entire empire—how could the Xiao Family possibly possess one? Yet she trusted her teacher completely.
"Just as I was about to intervene, an aura locked onto me. That aura undoubtedly belonged to a Dou Emperor-level expert, and his realm was even above mine. That is enough to prove that the Xiao Family has a Dou Emperor. Therefore, what we need to do now is ease our relationship with the Xiao Family as much as possible. Otherwise, the consequences will be difficult to predict. After all, we can no longer afford to provoke a Xiao Family that possesses a Dou Emperor. Continuing to provoke them would bring no benefit whatsoever to the entire sect."
"However, I feel that the Xiao Family's Dou Emperor is not truly part of the Xiao Family. He should be related to Xiao Yan. After all, his cultivation speed is simply too fast. He reached this level in an extremely short time. Looking across the entire empire, there has never been a second person like him. He must be hiding an enormous secret. So no matter what, we cannot offend the Xiao Family now. Otherwise, it will not be a good thing for the entire sect."
Yun Yun's words caused Nalan Yanran's face to turn deathly pale. She had never felt such terror before, and she knew very clearly what a Dou Emperor-level expert represented.
Her teacher had said that even their entire family could not afford to offend a Dou Emperor-level expert.
