Chapter 5 Uncle Xiao, I'm here to take people back!
Utan City.
The main hall of the Xiao family.
Xiao Zhan sat in the main seat, his expression somewhat solemn.
It's been three days.
He became increasingly worried as there was no movement from the Yunlan Sect.
"Clan leader, will this matter with the Yunlan Sect just be left like this?" a Xiao family disciple asked.
"No," Xiao Zhan said. "The Yunlan Sect has lost someone; they won't let this go so easily."
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
"Clan leader, something terrible has happened!" A servant rushed in. "People from the Yunlan Sect have arrived."
Xiao Zhan's expression changed.
It's time to come, it's coming.
"Let them in," Xiao Zhan said.
The servant nodded, turned and ran out.
Before long, Nalan Yanran and the Fourth Elder entered the Xiao family hall.
Xiao Zhan's expression darkened when he saw Nalan Yanran.
"Niece Nalan, what brings you here?"
"Uncle Xiao, I'm not here today to target your Xiao family," Nalan Yanran said. "I'm here to ask for someone back."
"Who do you want?"
"Xiao Yan".
Xiao Zhan's expression turned even uglier.
"Xiao Yan killed an elder of our Yunlan Sect, and the Yunlan Sect is taking him away," Nalan Yanran said. "Uncle Xiao, you'd better not stop him."
"Impossible," Xiao Zhan said.
Nalan Yanran frowned. "Uncle Xiao, have you thought this through?"
"I've thought it through," Xiao Zhan said. "Xiao Yan is my son, and no one can take him away."
Just as Nalan Yanran was about to speak, the Fourth Elder stepped forward.
"You're Xiao Zhan?"
Xiao Zhan looked at him, feeling a surge of pressure.
"Yes, that's me," Xiao Zhan said.
"I am the Fourth Elder of the Yunlan Sect," the Fourth Elder said. "Your son killed someone from our Yunlan Sect. I've come today to take him away."
"I told you, it's impossible," Xiao Zhan said.
"Then don't blame me for being impolite," the Fourth Elder said coldly.
His fighting spirit surged, and a powerful aura emanated from him.
Xiao Zhan's expression changed.
A Dou Wang level expert.
Xiao Yan killed the people of Yunlan Sect, and Nalan Yanran couldn't help but smile.
Xiao Yan is doomed!
……
The back mountain of the Xiao family.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on a boulder, cultivating with his eyes closed.
The fighting spirit within his body flowed through his meridians, again and again.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yan opened his eyes.
He heard a soft footstep behind him.
"Brother Xiao Yan."
Xiao Xun'er emerged from the woods and stood beneath the boulder.
Xiao Yan looked down at her. "Xun'er, what brings you here?"
"I've come to see Brother Xiao Yan," Xiao Xun'er said.
Xiao Yan leaped down from the boulder and landed in front of Xiao Xun'er.
Xiao Xun'er looked at him, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Brother Xiao Yan, your strength..."
"It's recovered," Xiao Yan said.
Xiao Xun'er nodded vigorously, "I saw it, Brother Xiao Yan killed Ge Ye with one palm."
Her tone was clearly surprised.
She grew up in the Xiao family and was very clear about the changes in Xiao Yan's strength.
Three years ago, when Xiao Yan was still a Dou Zhe, she already knew how strong Xiao Yan's talent was.
Three years later, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi surged from the third level to the point where he could kill a seven-star Dou Master.
The speed of this improvement is simply unimaginable.
"Brother Xiao Yan, how did you do that?" Xiao Xun'er asked curiously.
Xiao Yan looked at her without saying a word.
He didn't know how to explain it.
Should I tell Xiao Xun'er that I'm bound to a system?
It's best not to talk about this kind of thing.
"I unexpectedly encountered some opportunities," Xiao Yan said.
Xiao Xun'er paused for a moment, then nodded.
She didn't ask any further questions.
Just then, the system's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind.
[System task issued: Help Xiao Yan win over Xiao Xun'er and increase her affection level.]
Xiao Yan's heart stirred.
Another mission has arrived.
He looked at Xiao Xun'er and said, "Xun'er, thank you for all these years."
Xiao Xun'er was taken aback. "Brother Xiao Yan, what did you say?"
"For the past three years, everyone has treated me like trash," Xiao Yan said. "Only you have stayed by my side."
Xiao Xun'er's face flushed slightly.
"Brother Xiao Yan, why are you saying all this..."
"I just wanted to say," Xiao Yan looked at her, "that it's so good to have Xun'er here."
Xiao Xun'er lowered her head and remained silent.
The system's voice sounded in my mind again.
Xiao Xun'er's favorability has increased by 5%.
[The host has received a reward.]
[Alchemist Level Upgraded: Rank 5 Alchemist.]
A massive influx of information flooded into Xiao Yan's mind.
Countless pill formulas, alchemy techniques, and flame control skills flooded into his memory.
Fifth-grade alchemist.
Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly.
In the Gama Empire, fifth-grade alchemists are already extremely rare.
In the entire Gama Empire, the strongest alchemist is only a sixth-rank alchemist.
He's only fifteen years old, but he's already a fifth-grade alchemist.
If this news gets out, the entire Gama Empire will be shaken.
[Host's alchemy level has increased, unlocking a new pill formula: Grade 5 Quick Spirit Pill.]
[Effects of the Speed-Up Pill: Doubles cultivation speed after consumption, lasting for three months.]
Xiao Yan was overjoyed when he saw the pill formula.
The cultivation speed doubled.
Three months is enough time for him to improve his skills to the next level.
However, refining the Quick Spirit Pill requires a lot of medicinal materials, and they are all fifth-grade pill materials, which are quite expensive.
After considering his options, Xiao Yan decided to go to the Mittel Auction House.
"Xun'er, I'm going out for a bit," Xiao Yan said.
"Where is Brother Xiao Yan going?"
"Mitel Auction House"
Xiao Xun'er nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
……
Mittel Auction House.
Ya Fei sat in her room on the second floor, holding a cup of tea in her hand.
She wore a long red dress, and was strikingly beautiful with a charming demeanor.
In Wutan City, everyone knows the name Yafei.
The chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House, the most prominent woman in the entire city of Utan.
Just then, a servant walked in from outside.
"Miss Yafei, I have some news."
"Speak," Ya Fei said, putting down her teacup.
"Xiao Yan of the Xiao family killed Ge Ye, the elder of the Yunlan Sect," the servant said.
Ya Fei paused.
"What did you say?"
"Xiao Yan killed Elder Ge Ye of the Yunlan Sect," the servant said.
Ya Fei frowned.
Xiao Yan?
The third young master of the Xiao family, who was called a good-for-nothing?
He killed the deacon elder of the Yunlan Sect?
"Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?" Ya Fei asked.
"There's no mistake," the servant said. "The news came from the Xiao family, and Ge Ye's body is still at their residence."
Ya Fei remained silent.
She had met Xiao Yan before; back then, Xiao Yan was still the Xiao family's genius, an eleven-year-old Dou Zhe.
She also heard about Xiao Yan becoming a cripple later.
But no one expected that he would be able to kill the elder of the Yunlan Sect.
What is Kuzuha's strength?
Seven Star Grandmaster.
Xiao Yan was able to kill Ge Ye, so his strength...
Ya Fei dared not think any further.
"I understand, you may leave now," Ya Fei said.
The servant nodded and turned to leave.
Ya Fei sat in the chair, her heart filled with shock.
A fifteen-year-old boy was able to kill a Seven-Star Grandmaster.
If this news gets out, the entire Gama Empire will be shaken!
