Yun Leng Blows the Flute
The headquarters of the Mittel Family was visited by several of the most powerful forces in the Jia Ma Empire, giving onlookers a sense that something big was about to happen in the Jia Ma Empire.
Inside a massive council hall Mittel Family, a handful of people represented several major powers within the Jia Ma Empire.
At the head of the hall sat a young man in black robes who was unfamiliar to most people, occasionally chatting and laughing softly with Hai Bodong beside him.
A moment later, when everyone was ready, Xiao Yan slowly stood up and surveyed the entire room.
Among the visitors were Yun Yun Misty Cloud Sect Yun Leng from the Nalan Family, Nalan Jie, Nalan Su, and Nalan Yanran from the Nalan Family, the head of the Mu Clan and Mu Zhan, Jia Xing Tian and Princess Yaoye from the Jia Ma Imperial Family, and Princess Yao Ye Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Association.
Under Xiao Yan's gaze, the whispers in the hall quieted down, and all eyes turned to him.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately focused their attention.
Xiao Yan cut to the chase, saying, "The Dou Qi Continent is vast and boundless. The Jia Ma Empire and the Cloudrise Empire are but a drop in the ocean. Rather than continuing to fight to the death, it would be better to form an alliance and advance or retreat together."
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, the hall became even quieter.
Especially the Nalan Family and the Misty Cloud Sect, who had learned of Xiao Yan's identity, looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief.
Even Nalan Yanran, who had spoken a few words with Xiao Yan, was greatly shocked by Xiao Yan's tone and thoughts.
After a long pause, Mu Chen, the head of the Mu Clan, coughed lightly and spoke first, "Does Mr. Xiao Yan mean to integrate the Jia Ma Empire and the Cloudrise Empire into a single, powerful force?"
As soon as Mu Chen finished speaking, apart from Hai Bodong and Teng Shan, the members of the other major families nodded slightly. Although Xiao Yan's wish was lofty, it seemed from his words that he wanted their families to come under his command.
This seems to offer them no benefit whatsoever; on the contrary, they will be at the mercy of others in the future, unlike their current carefree life.
"Hehe, let me answer that." Hai Bodong smiled slightly, took out a letter of state from his Storage Ring and handed it to Jia Xing Tian. "To put it bluntly, the family power of the Jia Ma Empire does have some influence within the empire, but in the Northwest Region and the entire Dou Qi Continent, it has virtually no voice."
After reading the contents, Jia Xing Tian Xingtian's expression immediately became uncertain.
Unexpectedly, the Cloudrise Empire had already fallen into the hands of the Mitel Clan Ya Fei, who had already prepared everything. If the alliance failed, a large army would be pressing in the next day.
"Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, I respect you as a senior. If we all rush at you, you may not be able to leave the Jia Ma Empire safely." Yun Yun's face was icy cold. With a wave of her hand, a uniquely shaped longsword appeared in her hand.
Yun Yun didn't want to dwell on the Jia Ma Empire, but the Misty Cloud Sect still had some reputation in the Northwest region.
As Yun Yun unleashed her powerful Dou Qi, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense and confrontational.
Jia Xing Tian Xingtian remained calm and quietly looked at Yun Yun and Hai Bodong. He wanted to see what skills Hai Bodong had acquired after so many years.
"Misty Cloud Sect Master Yun Yun Sect, since you know my name, you should know that times have changed. The title of Ice Emperor is from many years ago. Now I am Hai Bodong the Ice Sect."
With a cold laugh, an incomparably powerful pressure erupted from Hai Bodong, instantly enveloping the hall in an icy chill.
Although those who came to keep the appointment were not weak, they all felt their bodies stiffen slightly in the icy cold, greatly shocked by Hai Bodong's current strength.
As a Peak Dou Huang expert, Jia Xingtian was only one step away from breaking through to Dou Zong. In Jia Xing Tian, he realized the gap in strength between himself and Hai Bodong.
Dou Zong expert is terrifyingly powerful!
"If I wanted to, wiping you all out would be a matter of a snap of my fingers," Hai Bodong said, glancing at the others.
Although Yun Yun was holding a long sword that gleamed with a blue light, she did not dare to make a move at the moment. This Dou Zong's strength was indeed far superior to hers.
If she were on Misty Cloud Mountain right now, she would be very confident that she could use the Cloud-Smoke Covering Sun Formation to keep Hai Bodong here.
Nalan Su forced a laugh, "Nephew Xiao Yan, you are not only a citizen of the Jia Ma Empire, but also engaged to Yanran. Everything is negotiable, so please don't act impulsively."
Xiao Yan said calmly, "Just call me Xiao Yan. Don't add 'nephew' to my name. The engagement was made in jest after drinking, so it shouldn't be taken seriously. Besides, I've already written a contract to dissolve the engagement and given it to Miss Nalan. There's no point in talking about the engagement anymore."
Nalan Su originally wanted to try to appeal to Xiao Yan's emotions, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yan had already cut off his escape route.
Moreover, he knew better than anyone what the Nalan Family had done over the years, and that the Nalan Family and the Xiao Clan had not been in contact for many years.
None of those present were senile; if he continued speaking, he would only be humiliating himself.
Nalan Jie never expected that after falling ill from the Luo Poison and recovering, everything would change drastically, leaving him speechless for a moment.
After a moment's hesitation, Nalan Jie glanced at Nalan Yanran, who had indeed received the annulment of her engagement. Despite his deep regret, he laughed heartily and said, "The young man is right. Words spoken in drunkenness are indeed meaningless."
Seeing that the long-standing engagement had been broken up with just a few words, Jia Xing Tian and the others looked at the barely holding on Nalan Jie with amused expressions.
Losing such a powerful grandson-in-law is a pain far more severe than Nalan Jie himself losing his strength.
"Yanran, you've finally broken off the engagement." Yun Yun didn't think like the others; instead, she was happy for Nalan Yanran.
Yun Yun had heard about this marriage arrangement countless times from Nalan Yanran since she took her as her disciple. Now that her wish had come true, it finally relieved her of a worry in her heart.
Nalan Yanran nodded bitterly. Although she got what she wanted, she wasn't as happy as she had imagined.
Just as everyone in the hall hesitated, Teng Shan laughed loudly and said, "My Mittel Family has no objections and is willing to join the alliance."
Upon hearing this, everyone curled their lip. The Mittel Family and the Xiao Clan are now in cahoots; joining the alliance, do you think they'd suffer any losses?
While everyone hesitated, Yun Leng Ling smiled sinisterly, "The Mittel Family doesn't need to be in such a hurry. The Jia Ma Empire may well have another Dou Zong expert."
After saying that, Yun Leng took out a cloud-white flute from his Storage Ring, brought it to his lips, and blew hard.
