The things that happened in Yunlan Sect, in just a few days, spread like wildfire to every corner of the Jiama Empire, and suddenly, the whole empire was in an uproar.
Almost everyone knows how powerful and terrifying the Yunlan Sect is in the Jiama Empire.
Especially after Yunshan successfully broke through to the Dou Zong level and came out of seclusion, the Yunlan Sect became more famous, and its popularity completely overshadowed other families in the Jia Ma Empire, and even the royal family.
However, now, shocking news has been reported, such as Yunshan's death and the sudden deaths of many elders of the Yunlan Sect. This is undoubtedly a shocking event for the people of the Jiama Empire.
Without Yunshan, Yunlan Sect also lost a Dou Zong-level strongman. This seemingly unshakable behemoth seemed to have returned to its original state...
When this matter became widely known, Xiao Yan of the Xiao family, as the cause of the incident, was also completely known to everyone in the Jia Ma Empire.
However, few people knew about the existence of Dou Zong and above. All those who knew kept silent and did not dare to discuss it too much. Therefore, Xiao Yan of the Xiao family became the most famous person in the huge Jia Ma Empire.
Defeated the Young Master of the Yunlan Sect, the Earth-level Dou Ji, the Third-grade Alchemist, and the Dou Zong Senior Brother...
With so many identities overlapping, for a time, the name of Xiao Yan from the Xiao family spread throughout the Jia Ma Empire!
If he was merely outstanding among the younger generation, he would not be worth mentioning in the eyes of those old monsters at the Douhuang level or even above. However, his earth-level fighting skills and Douzong senior brother forced them to take him seriously.
For a time, the Mittel family in the imperial capital was crowded with visitors.
However, the Yunlan Sect, which was originally the core of the Jia Ma Empire, is now much quieter.
Yunlan Sect, side hall.
There was silence in the empty hall. In the center of the hall, Lin Ran sat cross-legged, studying the book of burning techniques.
"Crack…"
In the empty hall, there was a sound of a door opening suddenly, and then the tightly closed door of the hall slowly opened.
A ray of moonlight spread in from the outside, and a gorgeous woman in white walked into the room. The moonlight behind her enveloped her body like a layer of light silver gauze, making her look like a fairy in the sky, filled with an indescribable nobility and ethereality.
"Settled?"
Lin Ran slowly opened his eyes, looked at the beauty in front of him and said softly: "How much is the loss?"
"There are eleven elders and twenty-four deacons in total."
Yun Yun sighed lightly, with worry on her face. This power is a considerable force no matter which force it is placed in, and it can even support an entire sect.
Even though the Yunlan Sect was a behemoth, the direct loss of so many elders and deacons was like cutting off a large piece of meat for them.
Not to mention, Yunshan was also dead.
Lin Ran gently pulled Yun Yun into his arms. Without doing anything wrong, he gently placed his hands on both sides of Yun Yun's forehead to soothe her.
"What do you think about Yunshan's matter?"
"I think it would be better to bury the teacher in peace."
Yun Yun leaned in Lin Ran's arms, closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment, and responded softly: "For Yunlan Sect, the teacher is already very tired, I don't want him to be at peace after his death."
"Three days later, I will bury my teacher in the Gate of Life and Death."
"That's fine."
Lin Ran did not reject Yun Yun's idea, and was not even surprised by it.
Yun Yun's temperament and her soft heart meant that she would not be able to do anything for the deceased Yun Shan. Burying him in peace and letting her teacher have a peaceful death was her hope, as well as her responsibility and obligation.
"By the way, Yanran said she wanted to follow the teacher into the Gate of Life and Death to practice, but I haven't agreed yet."
As if she had thought of something, Yun Yun opened her eyes and looked at Lin Ran: "This time it was a big blow to her. If she had lost to Xiao Yan, she probably wouldn't have been so anxious. But the power that Xiao Yan showed next really hit her a little."
"After all, one needs Douling level to enter the Gate of Life and Death. Although Yanran is the only one who can resonate with the Gate of Life and Death, it is still too early for her to enter now. So I want her to practice for a while, at least until she can master the Cold Wind Sword Qi, before entering the Gate of Life and Death."
The Cold Wind Sword Energy is the Earth-level fighting skill that Nalan Yanran has mastered. This fighting skill was taught to her by Yun Yun, but its origin was actually what Yun Yun learned from Lin Ran.
Yun Yun had the Holy Jade Token in her hand. Relying on the Holy Jade Token, Lin Ran transmitted some of his martial arts and fighting skills to her. This was why Yun Yun's strength improved so quickly.
In just less than a year, Yun Yun was promoted from a three-star Dou Huang to the current peak Dou Huang realm.
This is not only because Yun Yun's own talent is outstanding enough, but also because of Lin Ran's nurturing, as well as the transformation and improvement of her martial arts and fighting skills!
"The Gate of Life and Death?"
Lin Ran murmured softly.
Although he had never been to the Gate of Life and Death, he knew what the Gate of Life and Death of the Yunlan Sect was. It was the resting place of the successive leaders of the Yunlan Sect, and it was also a small secret space.
According to the description in the original book, it should have been created by the powerful man who founded the Yunlan Sect.
The purpose is, firstly, to bury the successive leaders of the Yunlan Sect, and secondly... to provide inheritance for the future generations of the Yunlan Sect.
To be able to build such a small secret space, one must be at least at the peak of Dou Zong or Dou Zun level. It seems that the ancestors of the Yunlan Sect were also wealthy.
"There's no need for that. Since Yanran wants to go, let her go."
Lin Ran chuckled: "I will give her some help when the time comes. After all, she is also a member of my Holy Sect. Of course, I understand what you mean. I won't interfere too much, but I will definitely not let her life be in danger."
"All right."
Seeing Lin Ran speak like this, Yun Yun didn't say anything more.
It's not that she doesn't want Nalan Yanran to go to the Gate of Life and Death.
As her only disciple and the only person in the next Yunlan Sect who can have a connection with the Gate of Life and Death, it is destined for Nalan Yanran to enter the Gate of Life and Death. It's just that it's too early and a little dangerous now.
With Lin Ran's assurance, Yun Yun naturally felt relieved.
"Now that we have lost our teacher, and with the deaths of many elders and deacons, Yunlan Sect is seriously injured. It will be difficult to deal with the situation that follows." Yun Yun sighed softly, "There is still a sect conference in a year…"
"Sect conference?" Hearing this, Lin Ran was stunned. He had never heard of such a conference.
"Our Jia Ma Empire is located in the northwest of this continent. In this vast area, there are at least nearly a hundred countries of all sizes, and the Jia Ma Empire is just one of them. In each empire, there are more or less some powerful sects and forces. The total number is countless."
Seeing Lin Ran's puzzled look, Yun Yun smiled gently and explained.
She had forgotten that Lin Ran came from Zhongzhou. Although he was very powerful, he didn't know much about the roads in the Northwest Continent.
"This sect conference was held by some of the most powerful forces in the northwest region. Their purpose was not good. They were just some ambitious guys who wanted to unify all the forces in the northwest region and become a presence that could rival the top forces on the continent."
"However, no one has achieved this ambition until now. The northwest region is too vast, with many forces and complicated relationships. It is not easy to fully incorporate it into the sect."
"So far, there has been no real overlord in this southwestern region, and we can only rank among the strong. Our Yunlan Sect can only be ranked second-rate among them. Originally, after the teacher came out of retreat, we had Dou Zong masters, and we could barely be ranked among the first-rate forces. It's a pity..."
After hearing what Yun Yun said, Lin Ran's face suddenly showed enlightenment.
No wonder there is no force like the 'Heavenly Snake Mansion' in the Black Horn Region, but the powerful people in the Black Horn Region are very familiar with Green Clothes and others. It turns out there is such a thing as a sect conference.
Compared to the Yunlan Sect, the Tianshe Mansion is undoubtedly the true overlord of the northwest continent, and it is even possible that there are Dou Zun powerful people there.
However, even the Heavenly Snake Mansion did not eventually become the overlord of this sect conference. Lin Ran did not know the reason.
But it doesn't matter. Just because the Heavenly Snake Palace can't do it doesn't mean that the Holy Rain Sect can't do it!
"Don't be sad. The current situation of Yunlan Sect is indeed not good, but there is a way to break it."
Lin Ran chuckled, and pinched Yun Yun's fair and delicate cheek under her curious eyes: "Don't forget, the current state of Yunlan Sect is a good time for Yunlan Sect to join Shengyu Sect, right?"
"Besides..."
"As long as you break through to Dou Zong, all the problems will be solved!"
"I?"
Yun Yun was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly: "I can't do it, A'ran."
"Although I am currently at the peak of Douhuang, all of my strength has soared within this year."
"Teacher has been stuck at the peak of Dou Huang for decades, and so has Jia Xingtian of the royal family. This shows the gap between Dou Huang and Dou Zong. With my current situation, if I don't have a few years of accumulation, I don't think I can touch the threshold of Dou Zong at all."
"You think so?"
Lin Ran couldn't help but chuckle as he rubbed his delicate palms. The pure Yang fighting spirit penetrated slightly deeper, sensing everything that was happening to Yun Yun.
In his perception, Yun Yun's current strength has reached the peak of Douhuang. Although there is still a certain degree of distance from Douzong, this degree is not far.
As long as you accumulate some Dou Qi and then feel the power of space for a moment, breaking through to the Dou Zong level within a few months will not be a problem at all.
Moreover, this is the case when Yun Yun is left to explore on her own.
If she had his help, Yun Yun would be able to break through to the Dou Zong level tomorrow, not to mention several months!
Don't underestimate the background of a Dou Zun strongman, not to mention that this Dou Zun strongman is also a seventh-grade alchemist and possesses a pure yang body!
"It's just a breakthrough to a small Dou Zong level, how difficult is that?"
Lin Ran gently took Yun Yun's jade hand and held it in his arms. At the same time, he raised his palm and a jade bottle appeared in his palm.
"It's a sixth-grade Po Zong Dan. However, after I refined it, the efficacy of this Po Zong Dan has been greatly enhanced. Its efficacy can be regarded as a seventh-grade elixir. It can increase your success rate by 30% when you are promoted to Dou Zong, and it guarantees that even if the person who takes it fails in the Dou Zong breakthrough, his strength can be stabilized at the level before the breakthrough."
"After you bury your teacher, you can try to retreat. With this elixir and your talent, wouldn't it be easy for you to break through to the Dou Zong level?"
"Ah Ran..."
Looking at the Po Zong Dan in Lin Ran's hand, Yun Yun stared at Lin Ran closely.
Eyes met.
Yun Yun's pretty face turned slightly red, and she raised her pretty face slightly. In Lin Ran's surprised eyes, she took the initiative to press her delicate red lips on him.
How could Lin Ran refuse when the beauty was so eager?
With a wave of his hand, the surrounding space was sealed off. Inside the hall, men and women hugged each other tightly, releasing the fiery emotions in their hearts.
It was so crazy that even the bright moon in the sky was ashamed and hid behind the clouds, not daring to look at it any longer...
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
…
After a crazy night, this epic battle finally came to an end when a hint of dawn appeared in the east.
The huge palace was full of traces of the battle. The two had been separated for a long time and met again today. The longing in their hearts burst out, making the battle more intense.
The bright moon was covered by the veil of morning light. Lin Ran gently stroked Yun Yun's pink back, enjoying the family happiness.
Yun Yun was lying in his arms, still sleeping soundly, her whole body wrapped around Lin Ran like an octopus. Her face, which still had some lingering charm, was mature and beautiful between her slightly furrowed brows.
If the disciples of the Yunlan Sect outside saw the usually noble and cold Master Yun in this state, they would be shocked!
Lin Ran raised his right hand slightly, put it in front of his eyes and clenched it, and a strong power flowed through his body.
"After the problem of the blood realm is solved, the Huanchan Jile Jue in my body can continue to absorb Dou Qi. However, I have already broken through to Dou Zun, and ordinary furnaces and cauldrons are no longer of much use to me."
"At the very least, I have to absorb a Douhuang or Douzong level furnace. And once absorbed, I'm afraid all the energy and spirit in the furnace will be sucked dry by me..."
This thought flashed through Lin Ran's mind, and he immediately shook his head.
A good furnace is hard to find. Although the women around him are all top-notch, if he uses them to exchange for strength... To be honest, Lin Ran can't do it.
Well, there are many ways to improve your strength. For him at the moment, absorbing the furnace is the lowest level method.
"Um?"
As if he noticed something, Lin Ran raised his hand and patted Yun Yun's buttocks.
Clap!
The hips fall with a sound.
Yun Yun frowned slightly, and opened her eyes with a whimper, her expression still full of passion: "No, no more, I really can't do it anymore, Ah Ran..."
"You have to do it anyway, your precious apprentice is here."
"Really not... Wh, what, Yanran?"
Yun Yun was stunned and hurriedly got up from Lin Ran's body. She wanted to put on her clothes, but her legs and feet went limp and she collapsed into Lin Ran's arms again.
"teacher!"
Before Yun Yun could stand up again, Nalan Yanran's slightly anxious voice was heard outside the hall, which made Yun Yun's expression suddenly change.
Nalan Yanran is really here!
But it was only the 11th hour, what was this girl doing here at this time?
And judging from her mood, she was very anxious. Did she say something?
"Is the master here?"
Seeing that Yun Yun did not respond for a long time, Nalan Yanran called out again, and the anxiety in her tone became more and more intense, even with a hint of crying.
Yun Yun was in a state of confusion. She hurriedly put on her clothes and took a deep breath to calm down her emotions after the fierce battle. She said calmly, "I'm here, Yanran, wait a moment...ah!"
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing. I'll be right there."
Nalan Yanran frowned slightly. It wasn't that she wanted to wait for a while, but why did the teacher's voice sound so strange, as if she was suppressing something...
But she didn't think much about it at the moment. Her heart was completely filled with that incident, and the urgency of the matter was completely beyond her expectations.
Otherwise, with her master's funeral approaching, she would never have disturbed Yun Yun at this moment.
…
inside the house.
Lin Ran slowly tied his belt and put on a black robe.
Behind him, Yun Yun was slumped on the ground, her cheeks burning, her clothes in tatters.
She looked at Lin Ran's back and was extremely embarrassed.
The battle was clearly over, but when Yanran was communicating with her just now, this bad guy actually started a war again.
The war broke out so suddenly that she almost screamed out loud!
Feeling Yun Yun's gaze, Lin Ran turned around, gently embraced her in his arms, and helped her clean up the situation: "Hurry up and adjust, don't let Yanran wait too long."
"You, you…"
Yun Yun's body trembled, as if she was hit by something, and she bit her red lips lightly.
"What if Yanran finds out?!"
"You know it, then. Am I not good enough to show it off?" Lin Ran smiled and lifted Yun Yun's chin and said, "But you'd better adjust yourself quickly. If Yanran sees you like this, she'll be shocked."
"It's all because of you!"
"hey-hey..."
…
Yunlan Sect, side hall.
About a quarter of an hour later, just when Nalan Yanran was getting anxious and restless, Yun Yun finally arrived.
"teacher!"
Looking at Yun Yun in front of her, somehow, Nalan Yanran suddenly felt that Yun Yun's face had become much rosier, and her complexion and aura had improved to a certain extent.
But this is not the point. After seeing Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran fell to her knees with a plop in front of Yun Yun's astonished eyes.
"What's wrong, Yanran, you are..."
"Teacher, you must help me, Grandpa, the poison in my grandpa's body has erupted!"
"What?!"
Yun Yun frowned.
Nalan Yanran's grandfather is named Nalan Jie, who is the current head of the Nalan family, the Lionheart Marshal of the Jia Ma Empire, one of the top ten strongest men, and has the strength of a fighting king.
In an accident, Nalan Jie was poisoned by the venom of the fifth-level monster, the Iron Poison Seal Python. Although he survived, he was seriously injured.
The venom of the Iron-Marked Poison Python, also known as branding poison, is so terrifying that there are records of sixth-level monsters being killed by the Iron-Marked Poison Python's poison.
If it weren't for the fact that the number of these magical beasts is so rare that it can be ignored, I'm afraid many strong people on the continent would be horrified by this poison.
The most crucial thing is that the venom of this snake is so strong, just like its name, it is deeply imprinted in human bones and even bone marrow. Even the sixth-grade elixir cannot remove it. It can only be eliminated by relying on the powerful power of the strange fire.
According to the original estimate, Nalan Jie should be able to hold on for a while, but now...
"It should be because I lost to Xiao Yan that Grandpa was so angry that he..."
Nalan Yanran had tears in her eyes and said in a sobbing voice: "Teacher, please save my grandfather, I, I..."
Nalan Yanran closed her eyes in pain. If she could defeat Xiao Yan in the three-year agreement, she wouldn't have to be like this now, because Yun Yun had promised her that as long as she could defeat Xiao Yan, Yun Yun would take action to heal Nalan Jie.
But she lost.
She was defeated by Xiao Yan. Even though Yun Yun taught her the Earth-level fighting skills, she still lost to Xiao Yan.
Logically, she shouldn't be here, but... but...
That's her grandfather!
