The Yunlan Sect has excellent feng shui. The sect is located on a mountain top that towers into the clouds. When the weather is clear, you can overlook the imperial capital in the distance. If the old leader of the Yunlan Sect was not powerful enough, the royal family of the Jiama Empire would never tolerate the existence of such a can you allow others to snore and sleep next to your bed? In the original novel, Jia Xingtian has always been extremely wary of the Yunlan Sect, fearing that the other party would have ulterior motives one day. The Yunlan Sect is so close to the imperial capital, and if something happens, the Jia Ma Empire will have to change its name. However, this situation changed after Yao Yan appeared. After all, mutual fear will only exist when the strength of both sides is equal. Once a third party with a stronger force gets involved, the two hostile parties will inevitably shake hands and unite to resist the stronger one... or choose to join the other side. Today, the Jia Ma Empire and the Yun Lan Sect are in a similar situation, but Yao Yan has never directly expressed his attitude. "Brush~" A streak of sky-blue light streaked across the sky and then stopped above the Yunlan Sect. With Yao Yan's current spiritual power, if he didn't want to be noticed, the people of the Yunlan Sect would not be able to find him. He also didn't want to alarm too many people, so a trace of spiritual power vibrated out like an invisible ripple, instantly covering the entire Yunlan Sect and quickly finding the target this time. At the same time, his eyes also swept into the depths of the Yunlan Sect. There seemed to be a very special place deep there that could actually block his soul perception. With the growth of strength and the full recovery of his bloodline, Yao Yan's soul power has now reached the peak of the spiritual realm and is not far from the heavenly realm. This kind of soul power is enough to crush most of the Dou Zong powerhouses. It is not an easy task to isolate his perception. Gate of Life and Death?!
Yao Yan pondered in his heart. He remembered that there was such a secret realm in the Yunlan Sect. Only the direct descendants of the Yunlan Sect could enter it. At the same time, it was also the resting place of the successive leaders of the Yunlan Sect after their death. It was through the training in the Gate of Life and Death that Nalan Yanran rose from a great Dou Shi to the peak of Dou Wang in just three years. This cultivation speed is quite fast. In my previous life, I even saw a lot of speculation on the Internet, saying that it contained the source of energy and the coordinates to the universe... "It's interesting~" Yao Yan withdrew his soul power, and his figure flashed and turned into a stream of light and flew towards the back mountain. He had no intention of breaking in by force. With his current relationship with the Yunlan Sect, he should be able to sneak in and take a look after saying hello. There was no need to do anything sneaky. It is understandable to do so when you are weak. If you still do this after your strength has improved, then your training would be in vain. …… In a quiet bamboo forest in the back mountain of Yunlan Sect, a graceful woman was teaching a little girl to practice sword. The woman was wearing a tight-fitting brocade gown with gold and purple trims. Her three thousand black hair was tied up into the shape of a phoenix's long cry, revealing a kind of nobility that was difficult to conceal. Her face was tranquil and beautiful, like a clear spring in a secluded mountain. Her cold and elegant eyes were filled with a touch of doting as she watched the little girl in front of her practicing sword carefully. The little girl was less than five years old. She looked cute and delicate, like a porcelain doll. She held a wooden sword in her hand and waved it, looking quite like a real person. "Yanran, you must be tired. Take a rest. There's no need to rush." Yun Yun's voice was soft and gentle. She bent down slightly, revealing a perfect curve... If Yao Yan's grandmother in her previous life saw that perfection, she would probably praise her by saying: You are destined to give birth to a son. She reached out and gently wiped the sweat from the little girl's forehead, with a gentle smile on her lips. "Teacher, I'm not tired!" The little girl had a very strong personality. She waved the small wooden sword twice and cried in a baby voice. Her bright and clear eyes made her look like a little adult. She looked very cute. "You~ have just started practicing fighting spirit, so take it slow and don't hurt yourself." Yun Yun helplessly tapped the little girl's head and smiled softly. Then, just as she was about to say something, she suddenly sensed something and scrambled to protect Nalan Yanran's body behind her. Those cold and peaceful eyes suddenly became cold and fierce, instantly locked onto a position, and shouted softly: "Who!" As I looked over, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure came into view.
"Sect Master Yun Yun, long time no see." Yao Yan waved his hand with a faint smile on his lips and greeted her. At the same time, he looked curiously at Nalan Yanran who was protected by Yun Yun behind him. The person in front of him was the "big enemy" of the Soul Clan. In the original novel, if she had not broken off the engagement, Emperor Hun Tian would have been the final winner. Who could have thought that a young girl's divorce would cause such a big uproar~ I don’t know if Nalan Yanran will go back to her original path this time. It’s quite interesting to think about it. "Medicine...Mr. Medicine?" Yun Yun looked at the visitor with a hint of vigilance and suspicion in her eyes, and said softly, "I haven't seen Yao Yan for nearly three years. Now he looks more mature than before, and his aura and temperament have also changed, making her unable to be sure of the visitor's identity." "It's me." Yao Yan nodded and walked out of the dark. At the same time, he looked at the little girl behind Yun Yun and said with a smile, "Your disciple? She has a good physique and has already condensed some fighting spirit at such a young age. She has a bright future." After confirming who it was, Yun Yun relaxed her vigilance a lot. Looking at the greatly changed Yao Yan, she nodded slightly, then lowered her head to look at the little girl who was tightly holding onto her clothes, and said, "Yan Ran's talent is indeed not bad~" Then he looked at Yao Yan, with a little helplessness in his eyes, and continued: "Young Master, next time you come to Yunlan Sect, can you let us know in advance? You always appear so silently, which may easily cause some unnecessary misunderstandings." There was a hint of blame in her tone. She was really scared just now that someone could sneak in here silently. "I'm afraid of trouble~" Yao Yan explained, and at the same time looked at Yun Yun, looking at those clear eyes, and teased: "Besides, do you need to be so formal when meeting a friend?" "Friend?" Yun Yun was stunned when she heard that. When did she become friends with Yao Yan? The number of times they met were very few. Yao Yan did not give Yun Yun a chance to refuse and forced her to make friends. Then he changed the subject and said, "Thank you for the matter with the Snake People. If it weren't for your help, Cai Die alone would not have been able to transfer the Snake People to the interior of the Jia Ma Empire so quickly." "Yun Yun will naturally take Mr. Xu's matters into consideration." Yun Yun responded with a faint smile on her face. "Has the old master come out of retreat?" Yao Yan asked. "Teacher hasn't come out of seclusion yet. It's not easy for Dou Huang to break through to Dou Zong..." There was a hint of worry in Yun Yun's eyes. For her teacher, this seclusion was undoubtedly a death retreat. Either he would break through to Dou Zong or die of old age. Her teacher was just like that. The Gama Empire is still too remote... Yao Yan whispered in his heart. The Gama Empire is located in the corner of the northwest region. The energy of heaven and earth is thin. Even with the help of the Breaking Sect Pill, it will take several years to break through to the Dou Zong level. If there were cultivation resources like the Tianshan Blood Pool to assist, the speed of breaking through to the Dou Zong level would undoubtedly be several times faster, but it is impossible for such a special area to exist in the Jia Ma Empire. This is also the reason why Yao Yan wants to go to Zhongzhou. Cultivation is always inseparable from resources. This is even more true for those above Dou Zong. "Old Sect Master, there should be no problem. This time I came to Yunlan Sect to invite Yunlan Sect to join the Heavenly Court. I have created a force in the Black Horn Region, called the Heavenly Court. You can communicate with Hai Lao about the specific matters later. I have handed over the Heavenly Court in the Black Horn Region to the Miter family for management." Yao Yan comforted him and then talked about business. "Heavenly Court?" Yun Yun was a little surprised when she heard this, and her moist lips moved. "It was established not long ago... Because of some things not long ago, I destroyed a force in the Black Horn Region. The base left by that force was quite large. Based on the idea of making the best use of it, I established a force on its old site." Yao Yan explained lightly. "It seems that the young master has experienced a lot in the Black Horn Region." Yun Yun laughed softly. "Quite a bit." Yao Yan nodded in response. Yun Yun smiled lightly, patted the nervous little girl beside her, and then said to Yao Yan: "Young Master, why don't we go to another place to talk? We have no problem standing here, but Yan Ran can't stand it~" Yao Yan naturally wouldn't refuse.
…… A small house in the woods. The breeze blows, and the bamboo sea surges. "Cuckoo~" A stream of misty spring water slid down from the kettle, stirring the green leaves in the cup. After a moment, a refreshing fragrance spread out, making people feel relaxed. Yun Yun also pushed the brewed tea in front of Yao Yan, her eyes calm and indifferent: "Sir, please." She is quite like a sect leader... Yao Yan commented in his heart, and his opinion of Yun Yun became much higher. Some women are pleasing to the eye just by looking at them, like the spring water in the south of the Yangtze River. "Very fragrant~" He took a sip and gave his evaluation. Yun Yun covered her mouth and chuckled. Yao Yan's comments were indeed a little special. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that the young master doesn't drink tea very often." "I'm busy practicing and don't have the time~" Yao Yan said as a matter of course. Yun Yun pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then asked, "What level of strength have you reached now, young master?" "It's the same as before your teacher went into seclusion." Yao Yan did not calculate his combat power, but spoke frankly that, judging from the realm of his fighting spirit alone, he was indeed a powerful warrior at the peak of the nine-star Dou Huang realm. Yun Yun was silent. The look she gave Yao Yan was no longer indifferent. Instead, there was a hint of complexity and a look of abnormality in her eyes. As the leader of the Yunlan Sect, she believed that she had strong talent. Now, she had entered the Douhuang level before the age of thirty, and she could be expected to become a Douzong in the future. But compare it with a freak like Yao Yan... I inexplicably felt a darkness in front of my eyes. Fortunately, she had some comparative intention just now and wanted to tell Yao Yan that she had broken through to the Dou Huang level. Fortunately, she didn't say it, otherwise she would have lost face. "Surprised?" Yao Yan looked at Yun Yun's dazed expression, waved his hand in front of her and made a joke. Yun Yun's back teeth were grinding. Looking at Yao Yan, who had a calm face, she felt an inexplicable feeling of annoyance and helplessness. How could someone's talent reach such a level? She nodded and said, "Very surprised." "If you have a chance in the future, you might as well go to Zhongzhou to have a look. The world outside is huge, and the Jiama Empire is too small." Yao Yan looked into Yun Yun's eyes and said seriously. "…We'll talk about it later when we have a chance." Yun Yun was silent for a while and shook her head slightly. She had never been the kind of person who pursued strength above all else. Rather than going out into the world alone, she preferred to stay in a place she was familiar with and protect the sect that gave birth to her and raised her. She looked down at the little Yanran beside her, a smile on her face: "For now, I have to teach Yanran how to practice, and I will talk about it after she grows up." Nalan Yanran blinked her eyes, not understanding what he meant, and stood obediently to one side. "kindness." Yao Yan did not continue the topic. He drank tea quietly with Yun Yun and admired the bamboo sea in the distance. For a while, neither of them spoke. It was not until Nalan Yanran fell asleep on Yun Yun's legs that Yao Yan broke the silence: "I want to go to the forbidden area of Yunlan Sect." “The Gate of Life and Death? Why would you be interested in this, young master? That place is the final resting place of the successive patriarchs of the Yunlan Sect. Although there are some special opportunities in it, they should be useless to you, young master.” Yun Yun said, frowning slightly. "Just curious. If it doesn't work, just pretend I didn't say anything." Yao Yan said softly.
“…In theory, that place is not open to outsiders. Even for disciples of the Yunlan Sect, only the next successor can enter. But in the case of you, young master, I can make an exception this time.” Yun Yun was silent for a long time before she spoke with a slightly serious expression. She always remembered what her teacher told her: rules are dead, but people are alive. If she could use this opportunity to get closer to Yao Yan, it would also be good for the Yunlan Sect. As the leader of the Yunlan Sect, how could Yun Yun not understand the ways of the world? "Thank you." Yao Yan raised his glass and smiled. Yun Yun smiled and raised her glass as well, saying, "Didn't you say before that we are friends?" Yao Yan was a little surprised when he heard this, then he blinked and said jokingly, "Aren't you worried that my friend has other thoughts about you?" “?!” Yun Yun was stunned and didn’t know how to respond for a moment. Yao Yan didn't point it out, but pointed at Xiao Yanran who was almost drooling on her legs, and said with a smile: "The clothes are going to get dirty~" Yun Yun looked down and picked up Nalan Yanran. She then rolled her eyes at Yao Yan and said, "Young Master, you'd better stop joking in the future. No wonder Cai Die always says that you like to speak without restraint... If you say something too much, others will take it seriously." As she spoke, she walked into the house holding Nalan Yanran, leaving a graceful shadow behind Yao Yan. "But many truths in the world are spoken in a joking tone~" Yao Yan whispered to himself. He did not tell anyone this sentence, and he did not choose to tease Yun Yun directly. Some women are best to just look at quietly. If he tries to get close to them, it will destroy the feeling. Moreover, with Yun Yun's personality, it would be useless to use force or softness. It would only be useful if she liked it. Yao Yan held the teacup and looked at the bamboo forest in the distance quietly. His thoughts drifted away for a moment... (End of this chapter)
