"May I ask what brings you, esteemed seniors of the Yunlan Sect, to my Xiao family?"
Although he was flustered, the Grand Elder knew that the clan was in a state of panic at this time, and as the backbone of the clan, he could not afford to lose his composure. So he suppressed his unease and bowed to Yunshan and the others in the sky, asking them for their opinions.
"Humph!"
Seeing that Yun Shan remained silent, Yun Leng stepped forward, a sinister smile on his face, and said to the Grand Elder, "What kind of class do you have? You dare to speak to our sect leader?"
Yun Leng laughed loudly, and with a wave of his hand, a huge palm print crashed down into the Xiao family's territory, knocking down many of the family's buildings.
Fortunately, Yun Leng was only playing around at the moment, so he deliberately avoided the places where the Xiao family members were, so no casualties occurred, but it did cause a commotion within the clan.
"you!"
The Third Elder, who was always hot-tempered, couldn't hold back when he saw Yun Ling's actions. He looked up and glared at Yun Ling in mid-air, letting out a roar.
"The third one!"
The Second Elder, who was standing nearby, knew something was wrong as soon as the Third Elder spoke. He hurriedly reached out to stop the Third Elder, but it was too late.
"Even if you are from the Yunlan Sect, you can't be this unreasonable! Xiao Fan has a conflict with your Yunlan Sect, does your Yunlan Sect intend to slaughter the entire Xiao family?"
The Third Elder stood up from the ground, glaring at Yun Ling and the others, roaring angrily at the sky like an enraged lion.
"hehe......"
Yun Ling looked at the furious Third Elder, but his face did not show any anger. Instead, a sense of vengeful pleasure flashed across his face. He reached out with his remaining arm towards the Third Elder and waved a beam of azure battle qi directly towards the Third Elder.
Yun Ling is now at the level of a Dou Huang. The Third Elder had no time to react to his attacks. He had only just seen Yun Ling wave his hand when he felt a numbness in his arm, followed by a sharp pain in his shoulder.
Blood splattered as the Third Elder's right arm was severed at the shoulder and fell to the ground, instantly covering his body with crimson blood.
"Ah ah ah ah ah......"
Feeling the pain in his shoulder, the Third Elder's face showed a look of agony. He then clutched his shoulder with his left arm and groaned in pain.
"The third one!"
"Third Elder!"
The First Elder and some of the Xiao family members present couldn't help but gasp in shock at the sight of the Third Elder's miserable state, and then glared angrily at Yun Ling.
Many hot-blooded members of the Xiao family even took out their weapons. Even though they knew that Yun Ling and the others were strong and that they were no match for them, they still wanted to fight to defend the dignity of the Xiao family.
Since Yunling's surprise attack on the Xiao family, which led to Xiao Zhan's disappearance, the Xiao family's clan discipline has improved significantly, and the family places greater emphasis on the unity of its disciples within the family.
As Yun Ling watched the Xiao family members who were about to attack, he instead revealed a teasing expression, like a cat playing with a mouse. He wanted to see the anger and despair on the faces of these Xiao family members.
"Stop it all!"
Seeing that things were about to spiral out of control, the First Elder roared and stopped the Xiao family from continuing their attack.
"Great Elder..."
Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, the Xiao family disciples all stopped what they were doing, then looked at the Grand Elder with grief and indignation, clenching their teeth tightly.
The elders of the Xiao family have lived together since childhood. Although they had many conflicts in the past, since Xiao Zhan disappeared, the Xiao family has been reorganized and is no longer as superficial as before. The whole family is thriving, and their friendship has become even stronger over the decades.
The Third Elder's arm was severed by Yun Leng. The elders were furious, but they knew that this was not the time to fight the Yunlan Sect. Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan were not present, and they were no match for the Yunlan Sect. Moreover, Yun Shan, who was at the Dou Zong realm, had not yet made a move. If they did, the Xiao family would probably be wiped out.
The First Elder took a deep breath, then stepped forward and addressed Yunshan in mid-air: "Sect Master Yunshan, I wonder what your purpose is in visiting my Xiao family this time? My Xiao family is too small, and Yunlan Sect probably looks down on this tiny Wutan City, right?"
Upon hearing the elder's words, Yun Shan withdrew his gaze, glanced at the elder indifferently, and then asked, "Where are Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan?"
When Yun Leng made his move, Yun Shan had already searched the Xiao family compound, but he did not detect the presence of Xiao Fan and Yun Yun. As for the main purpose of this trip, Xiao Yan, Yun Shan did not detect his presence either.
After all, the strongest people in the Xiao family right now are the elders below, but even they are only at the level of Great Dou Master. The entire Xiao family doesn't even have a Dou King, so Yun Shan has no interest in them at all.
Their main purpose in coming to the Xiao family was simply to obtain the soul of the Medicine Venerable from Xiao Yan. Apart from that, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan were nothing more than ants that Yun Shan wanted to deal with at will.
Upon hearing Yunshan's words, the Grand Elder sighed inwardly, realizing that his guess had indeed been correct.
The fact that the Yunlan Sect would go to such lengths, even having Yunshan personally intervene, suggests that only Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan could attract their attention.
Fortunately, neither Xiao Fan nor Xiao Yan are currently in the clan!
The First Elder knew that if one were to ask who was the most important person in the Xiao family right now, it would probably be Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan.
Within the Xiao family, they were even referred to as the Xiao family's twin stars.
Neither Xiao Fan nor Xiao Yan hid their identities as alchemists; it was no secret within the Xiao family.
In addition, the deeds of Xiao Yan and Xiao Fan in the Yunlan Sect had already spread throughout the Jia Ma Empire, and the Xiao family was very proud of them.
The Yunlan Sect's attack this time was fierce, and it seems that things won't end well. Fortunately, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan are not currently in the Xiao family, so the Yunlan Sect missed their target. As long as the two of them are still alive, the Xiao family's roots will not be severed.
Having figured this out, the Grand Elder couldn't help but feel a sense of relief amidst his bitterness.
"We're sorry to disappoint Sect Master Yunshan, but Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan left the Xiao family some time ago to go out and train. Even we don't know their exact location."
The Grand Elder calmly cupped his hands towards Yunshan and spoke in a composed tone.
"With the strength of the Yunshan Sect Master, he should be able to see that everything I said is true and there is no concealment whatsoever."
Upon hearing this, Yunshan's face remained expressionless. He nodded lightly, glanced at the Grand Elder, and then said, "In that case, there is no need for the Xiao family to remain."
Upon hearing Yunshan's words, the Grand Elder's face instantly darkened.
"Sect Master Yunshan, your Yunlan Sect is a prominent force in the Jia Ma Empire. Why make things difficult for my Xiao family members? Most of them are just people of low strength, and they have nothing to do with the conflict between Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan and the Yunlan Sect. Does the Yunlan Sect intend to hold a grudge against them?"
Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, Yunshan glanced at him indifferently and remained silent in contemplation.
"Sect Master, why bother with their lives? Since the Xiao family has offended my Yunlan Sect, it's their own fault for being blind. In my opinion, we should just kill them and bring some back to the Yunlan Sect. Then, we can issue warrants for Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan's arrest throughout the Jia Ma Empire. I don't believe they can escape."
Yunshan remained silent, but Yunling, standing to the side, spoke with a cold laugh.
Yunshan frowned slightly after hearing Yunling's words.
Ever since Yun Ling's arm was severed by Medusa, his temperament has become increasingly eccentric. He has become more and more harsh on the disciples in the sect. Although Yun Shan has not interfered, he is not unaware of this. Now it seems that Yun Ling's mind is now filled with nothing but thoughts of revenge.
Yun Shan naturally disagreed with Yun Ling's words. As the Grand Elder said, Yun Lan Sect, as a top power in the Jia Ma Empire, had no problem seeking revenge, but if they really took their anger out on these ordinary people who had no power to resist, then Yun Lan Sect's reputation would be ruined.
What Yunshan wants to do is to push the entire Yunlan Sect out of the Jiama Empire and out of the Northwest Continent, and to relocate the Yunlan Sect to the Central Continent. Naturally, it is impossible for him to do something so self-degrading.
"shut up."
Yun Shan gave Yun Leng a cold look, then shouted angrily, and then said loudly, "There is a cause for every wrong, and a debt for every debt. Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan have a grudge against my Yunlan Sect, and we have a legitimate reason to seek revenge. Since they are not here, my Yunlan Sect will naturally not involve you mortals."
"However, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan are, after all, members of your Xiao family. If a son is not taught properly, it is the father's fault. Since the two of them have made a mistake, we will have to trouble the elders of the Xiao family to visit Yunlan Sect for a while. When Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan come to Yunlan Sect, we will naturally let you all return."
Upon hearing Yunshan's words, the Xiao family members immediately became agitated, constantly glancing at the Grand Elder and the others, eager to fight the Yunlan Sect directly.
Upon hearing Yunshan's words, the First Elder felt a sense of relief and ease, and gestured with his eyes to stop the Xiao family members.
The fact that they were captured and taken to the Yunlan Sect was already the best possible outcome.
The First Elder shook his head at the Xiao family members, and was about to give some instructions when he realized that he was trapped in place and unable to speak.
"Tell Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan that I will only give them ten days. After ten days, I will kill one Xiao family elder every day. If they are all dead and Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan still do not show up, then the Xiao family has no reason to exist."
Yun Shan glanced indifferently at the Xiao family members, his eyes cold. Then, the elders of the Yunlan Sect followed behind Yun Shan, taking the imprisoned Xiao family elders with them, and left Wutan City.
P.S. Guess how many chapters there will be today? If you guess right, there will be an extra chapter.
Chapter 38 Xiao Yan Returns to His Clan (Second Update)
The capital city, the royal family of the Gama Empire.
"Do you know what the Yunlan Sect is trying to do this time?"
Inside the secret chamber, Jia Xingtian looked serious. When his spies in the Yunlan Sect sent back news that Yunshan had led all the sect's elders out, Jia Xingtian even thought that the Yunlan Sect was going to attack the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire.
They immediately contacted Hai Bodong and Chairman Fa Ma to tell them about the matter. The group was very worried about it and had been waiting for news.
"There's no particularly useful information, but from what I've received, they're heading in a direction that's at least not towards the royal family."
Hai Bodong sat in a chair, his face unusually serious. If Yunlan Sect really went to war with the royal family of Jiama Empire, the Guter family would be in a very awkward situation. After all, they would have to choose a side, and if they made the wrong choice, the Guter family would probably be completely wiped out in one day.
Among those lost, only Fama could still wear a faint smile on his face.
After all, he is the president of the Alchemists Guild of the Gama Empire. Regardless of who wins or loses between the Gama Empire's royal family and the Yunlan Sect, it will not have a significant impact on him.
However, he was only present in the royal council hall because of his close personal relationship with Jia Xingtian and Jia Xingtian's invitation. But as the president of the Alchemist Guild, he could not easily take sides, after all, he represented the alchemists within the Jia Ma Empire. If he made the wrong choice, it would be a very serious problem.
"There's something new."
Just as the group fell silent, Yao Ye gently knocked on the door of the secret room and strode in.
Upon hearing Yao Ye mention new developments, everyone's gaze immediately fell upon Yao Ye.
"The Yunlan Sect has made its move this time, heading towards Wutan City."
"Wutan City?"
Upon hearing the name, each person displayed a different expression.
"The Xiao family?"
Hai Bodong knew a lot of information because he had spent some time with Xiao Yan. Upon hearing Yao Ye's words, he immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah."
Upon hearing this, Yao Ye nodded to Hai Bodong and then continued, "According to our latest information, the Yunlan Sect, led by Yun Shan, went to Wutan City, destroyed many of the Xiao family's buildings, and took all of the Xiao family's elders away."
"According to the information we received, the Yunlan Sect probably wanted to deal with Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, but neither of them are currently in the clan, so Yun Shan and the others came up empty-handed and could only bring back a group of Xiao family elders."
"However, before leaving, they also issued an ultimatum, demanding that Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan arrive at Yunlan Sect within ten days, or else they would kill one person a day. Once all the Xiao family elders were killed, the Xiao family would be destroyed."
Inside the secret room, the people listened to Yao Ye's news with varying expressions.
