The Three-Year Agreement, Ended
Nalan Yanran soared into the air, her aura reaching its peak, and powerful energy gathered around her.
Xiao Yan was equally unwilling to be outdone, picking up the Profound Heavy Ruler again. His entire body was engulfed in azure flames, and terrifying high temperatures permeated the air, while the flames also spread to the black ruler.
Upon seeing that familiar blue flame, everyone who had witnessed the Alchemist Grand Meeting was startled. "How is this possible?"
But when she noticed Xiao Zhan, who always had a smile on his face, she understood.
"Xiao Clan Leader, it seems you had this in mind all along!" Fa Ma chuckled.
Yan Xiao? Xiao Yan!
No wonder Xiao Zhan was so generous back then, offering the championship prize on his own initiative. It turns out they're all family, so he didn't care about the cost!
"It seems I've missed something interesting?" Yun Shan asked calmly, disliking the feeling of being the only one who was asleep while everyone else was awake.
"Elder Yun, you are unaware of this!" Fa Ma explained to Yun Shan at this moment.
"This young friend Xiao Yan, using the alias Yan Xiao at the Alchemist Grand Meeting a few days ago!"
"Yan Xiao?" Yun Shan asked in surprise.
"Is that the genius Alchemist who's not even twenty years old and who refined Fifth Grade Pill, sharing the Alchemist Grand Meeting with another Fifth Grade Alchemist?"
When Yun Lan Sect Yan Xiao heard about Yan Xiao, they prepared to send someone to contact him, but were refused. Yun Shan was only slightly curious.
But he didn't care. Whether the other person could reach the Eighth Rank Grandmaster level in the future was still uncertain. If he didn't reach the Eighth Rank, it wouldn't mean much to Yun Shan, a Dou Zun expert.
But unexpectedly, that Yan Xiao was actually Xiao Yan.
For some reason, Yun Shan suddenly felt a surge of pride. Could this be his father-in-law's approval of his son-in-law?
Not only Yun Shan, Yun Yun, upon learning Xiao Yan's identity, felt a slight joy in her already somewhat agitated heart, wondering, "Is this little guy really that amazing?"
However, recalling once again the complicated and tangled relationship between the two of them, Yun Yun's mood immediately plummeted.
Meanwhile, Hai Bo Dong was fanning the flames, saying, "Da Dou Shi and Fifth Grade Alchemist at not even twenty years old—such a genius! I wonder which young lady will be lucky enough to have him!"
"Ahem!" Yun Shan felt a surge of satisfaction. Hai Bo Dong, you old rascal, say a few more words if you can. In any case, Yun Shan had secured a ticket to become in-laws with the Xiao Clan family.
"Let's all continue watching!"
The others assumed that Yun Shan was just feeling sorry for losing such an excellent son-in-law of the Yun Lan Sect, so they changed the subject and didn't say anything more.
Meanwhile, Nalan Yanran was also deeply shocked when she saw the flames Xiao Yan unleashed. She also understood why Yan Xiao had been indifferent to her and even somewhat disgusted with her back then.
She never expected that the first man she had feelings for would be the one she had personally come to break off her engagement with three years ago. The bitterness and complexity in her heart were indescribable.
However, Nalan Yanran quickly regained her composure, her eyes resolute. As the Yun Lan Sect Young Sect Master, she also had her own principles to uphold.
"Let's settle this now!"
"Extreme Wind, the Setting Sun Radiance!"
Nalan Yanran's longsword gathered extremely terrifying energy, and a swift Sword Qi was unleashed, its powerful force alone shattering all the stone surfaces surrounding Xiao Yan.
The Yun Lan Sect Disciple guarding the Battle Stage were all intimidated by the powerful Sword Qi and instinctively raised their arms to shield themselves from the sudden burst of air.
Furthermore, he mobilized his internal Dou Qi and transmitted it through the array to the huge light shield in the sky, stabilizing the protective shield that had been shaken by the intense pressure of the Dou Techniques.
Xiao Yan was equally unwilling to be outdone, unleashing his fully prepared attack, "Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!"
A fiery ray, resembling the setting sun, suddenly collided with Nalan Yanran's Sword Qi in mid-air.
However, to everyone's surprise, the originally incomparably powerful Xuan-Tier Advanced Dou Technique, Extreme Wind, was instantly swallowed up by the Setting Sun Radiance the moment it collided with the beam.
Then, a slightly dim blue flame streaked across the sky, rushing toward Nalan Yanran with undiminished momentum.
Nalan Yanran was currently in mid-air, and having used several powerful Dou Techniques, her internal Dou Qi was depleted.
Faced with this move, there was absolutely no way to avoid it; all he could do was stare wide-eyed helplessly at the attack coming toward him.
"Yanran!" Upon seeing this scene, Yun Yun and Nalan Jie in the distance exclaimed in surprise.
With their strength, how could they not see that the remaining power of this Dou Techniques could very well take Nalan Yanran's life?
Unfortunately, they are too late to catch up. If the latter were to pass away now, they might live in misery for the rest of their lives.
"Not good!"
Xiao Yan's heart tightened. He had only used his strongest technique, but he never expected that Nalan Yanran's Dou Techniques would be so different in power. He couldn't even block her.
Xiao Yan never intended to take the other party's life, but now it was too late, and a sense of regret arose in his heart.
"Teacher, can you help?" Xiao Yan was determined to save Nalan Yanran's life, even if it meant exposing Elder Yao's existence.
Anyway, he would be going to Canaan Institute later, so he wasn't worried about his secrets being exposed.
"Don't worry, someone will take care of it," Elder Yao said nonchalantly.
Elder Yao was very clear about the power at all levels. Even in the current situation, a Dou Emperor- level expert would not have time to stop it.
However, with several Dou Zong and one Dou Zun present, there was no need to worry about Nalan Yanran's life being threatened.
It's just a matter of when!
As expected, just as the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler was about to strike Nalan Yanran, an invisible force suddenly appeared in the world, instantly imprisoning the menacing cyan ray.
Then... it suddenly vanished into nothingness; Yun Shan had made his move.
Just as everyone was worried, Yun Shan had already made preparations. For him, who possessed the strength of Dou Zun, stopping this disaster was merely a matter of a thought.
The reason for making a move at the very end was simply to give Nalan Yanran a chance to experience a life-or-death crisis.
This little girl is a bit too willful; her personality isn't very likable.
Not to mention that he also planned to send Yun Yun and the other two to Central Plains, a place teeming with powerful figures. If she continued to act like a spoiled young lady, no one would tolerate her.
I imagine things will improve after going through this experience!
Feeling the lingering heat on her body, the immense mental pressure, and the emptiness of her Dou Qi, Nalan Yanran's vision went black, and she fell directly from mid-air.
Seeing this scene, Yun Yun did not wait any longer. Her blue wings suddenly flapped, and she soared up, embracing the unconscious Nalan Yanran and taking her to a quiet place to heal her wounds.
"Senior Yun Shan, can you announce the results now?" Xiao Zhan said with a slight smile.
Although he seemed to be showing off in this situation, he couldn't contain his excitement after Xiao Yan won the game!
"Hmm!" Yun Shan felt somewhat helpless and unwilling. Although he had expected the outcome, he still felt uncomfortable.
However, in front of so many people, Yun Shan couldn't bring himself to back out in public, so he stood up from his seat and glanced at Xiao Yan.
He glanced around, then announced in a deep voice, "The winner of the Three-Year Agreement Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan!"
"From then on, all grudges between the two sides were wiped clean!"
The sound echoed throughout Yun Lan Mountain, announcing the end of this dispute to the world.
