Chapter 11 The Wrath of the Yunlan Sect!
As soon as Xiao Yan stepped out of the hall, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
Nalan Yanran caught up and blocked Xiao Yan's way.
"Xiao Yan, you stop right there."
Xiao Yan stopped and looked at Nalan Yanran.
"Is there anything else?"
"You think killing the Fourth Elder is enough?" Nalan Yanran said coldly. "The Yunlan Sect will not let you off the hook."
Xiao Yan remained silent.
"You are indeed very strong, I admit I underestimated you," Nalan Yanran said. "But so what? You killed an elder of the Yunlan Sect, the Yunlan Sect will definitely retaliate against you, and then you'll know what regret is."
Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran and said calmly, "Are you finished?"
Nalan Yanran was taken aback.
"Get out of here after you've said your piece."
Nalan Yanran was furious, "You!"
Snapped.
A crisp sound.
Xiao Yan slapped Nalan Yanran across the face.
Nalan Yanran was completely stunned. She covered her face and looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief.
"You...you hit me?"
"With such a foul mouth, who else should I hit if not you?" Xiao Yan said calmly.
Nalan Yanran trembled with anger; her face burned with pain, but her heart ached even more.
Nalan Yanran was the personal disciple of the Yunlan Sect Master and a rising star among the younger generation of the Jia Ma Empire, yet she didn't even have a chance to fight back against Xiao Yan.
He was divorced, slapped in the face, and humiliated by Xiao Yan time and time again.
"Xiao Yan, you just wait," Nalan Yanran said through gritted teeth, "the Yunlan Sect will not let you get away with this."
Xiao Yan ignored Nalan Yanran and turned to leave.
Nalan Yanran stood there, stomping her feet in anger as she watched Xiao Yan's departing figure.
Nalan Yanran hated Xiao Yan to the core, but she couldn't do anything about it.
Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth and turned to walk in another direction.
Nalan Yanran wants to return to Yunlan Sect. She wants to tell her teacher that Xiao Yan killed the Fourth Elder, and she wants Yunlan Sect to seek justice for her.
Two days later, at the Yunlan Sect.
In the main hall, Yun Yun sat in the position of sect leader.
Several elders stood on either side, talking about something.
Yun Ling stood at the front, his expression not looking good.
"Sect Master, the Fourth Elder has been at the Xiao family for two days now, why is there still no news?" Yun Leng asked.
Yun Yun frowned slightly. "Wait a little longer."
"Could something have gone wrong?" the Second Elder asked.
"What could possibly go wrong?" the Third Elder said. "The Fourth Elder is a Dou Wang level expert. What can a small family like the Xiao family do to him?"
"The Third Elder is right," the Fifth Elder said. "The Xiao family is just a small clan. If the Fourth Elder went to the Xiao family, wouldn't he obediently hand over the person?"
Yunling nodded. "They should be back soon."
Footsteps could be heard outside the main hall.
Nalan Yanran walked in, her face pale and clearly tired.
Two days of travel had left Nalan Yanran looking somewhat disheveled.
When Yun Yun saw Nalan Yanran, she said, "Yanran, you're back."
Nalan Yanran walked to the center of the main hall and knelt on the ground.
"teacher."
Yun Yun frowned as she looked at Nalan Yanran.
"What happened? Where's Xiao Yan? Where's the Fourth Elder?"
Nalan Yanran raised her head, her eyes reddening.
"Teacher, the Fourth Elder... he's dead."
The hall fell silent instantly.
Yun Yun's expression changed, and the elders were also stunned.
"What did you say?" Yun Leng was the first to react, "The Fourth Elder is dead?"
"Yes," Nalan Yanran said.
"How did he die?" Yun Leng asked urgently.
"He was killed by Xiao Yan," Nalan Yanran said.
These words caused an uproar in the main hall.
"Impossible," the Second Elder said. "The Fourth Elder is a Dou Wang level expert. How could a piece of trash like Xiao Yan possibly kill him?"
"The Second Elder is right," the Third Elder said. "Yanran, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"I didn't see wrong," Nalan Yanran said. "The Fourth Elder was indeed killed by Xiao Yan. I saw it with my own eyes."
The elders' expressions changed.
A look of shock flashed across Yun Leng's eyes.
"How could Xiao Yan, a piece of trash with only a third-stage Dou Qi, kill the Fourth Elder?" Yun Leng said. "That's impossible."
"Elder, Xiao Yan is not a waste," Nalan Yanran said. "Xiao Yan is very strong."
"How strong is it?" Yun Leng asked.
"I don't know," Nalan Yanran said. "I only know that the Fourth Elder didn't even have a chance to fight back against Xiao Yan. He couldn't even withstand one move."
The hall fell silent once more.
The elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
The Fourth Elder is a Dou Wang level expert. Anyone who can defeat him in one move at the Dou Wang level must be at least a Dou Huang level. A fifteen-year-old Dou Huang? How is that possible?
"Yanran, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Yunyun asked.
"Teacher, I am certain," Nalan Yanran said. "I saw it with my own eyes. The Fourth Elder attacked first but was sent flying by Xiao Yan's palm. The Fourth Elder was not convinced and attacked from behind, but was killed on the spot by Xiao Yan's palm strike."
Yun Yun fell silent.
Yun Yun's heart was filled with shock. A fifteen-year-old boy who could kill a Dou Wang expert—such talent was rare to find in the entire Dou Qi Continent.
"Sect Master, this matter cannot be left like this," Yun Leng said angrily. "The Fourth Elder has been killed, and our Yunlan Sect must demand an explanation."
"The First Elder is right," the Second Elder said. "Xiao Yan killed the Fourth Elder, which shows he doesn't take our Yunlan Sect seriously."
"Destroy the Xiao family," the Third Elder said. "Avenge the Fourth Elder."
"Yes, wipe out the Xiao family," the Fifth Elder added. "How dare a mere Xiao family touch anyone from my Yunlan Sect?"
Several elders clamored for revenge and demanded the annihilation of the Xiao family.
Yun Yun raised her hand, signaling the elders to be quiet.
That's enough.
The elders quieted down and looked at Yun Yun.
"Sect Master, you don't mean to let the Xiao family go, do you?" Yun Leng asked.
"I didn't say I'd let the Xiao family off the hook," Yun Yun said, "but we can't act rashly on this matter."
"Why?" Yun Leng said, dissatisfied. "The Fourth Elder has been killed, and we're still going to tolerate this?"
"Elder, calm down," Yun Yun said. "That Xiao Yan was able to kill the Fourth Elder, which means his strength is very likely at the late stage of Dou Wang or Dou Huang level. Do you know what a fifteen-year-old Dou Huang means?"
The elders fell silent.
"This means that Xiao Yan must be being groomed by a powerful force behind him," Yun Yun said. "We can't easily offend someone like that."
"Sect Master, you're overthinking it," Yun Leng said. "The Xiao family is just a small clan; what kind of great power could they possibly have?"
"Just because the Xiao family doesn't have it doesn't mean Xiao Yan doesn't," Yun Yun said. "How could Xiao Yan reach the Dou Huang level at the age of fifteen without powerful backing?"
Yun Leng opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
"Let's get to the bottom of this first," Yun Yun said. "No one should act rashly before we've investigated the matter thoroughly."
Although the elders were dissatisfied, they dared not disobey the sect leader's orders.
Yun Leng gritted his teeth, but he didn't say anything.
Nalan Yanran knelt on the ground, her heart filled with displeasure.
Nalan Yanran thought that when she returned to Yunlan Sect, her teacher would immediately stand up for her and send people to destroy the Xiao family, but her teacher actually said not to act rashly.
"Teacher," Nalan Yanran said.
"Is there anything else?" Yunyun asked.
"Did the Fourth Elder die in vain?" Nalan Yanran asked.
"I didn't say it was a wasted life," Yun Yun said, "but this matter can't be rushed."
Nalan Yanran was dissatisfied, but she dared not say anything more.
"Everyone, step back," Yun Yun said.
The elders exchanged a glance, then turned and left.
Nalan Yanran stood up, and she followed her out.
As she walked out of the main hall, Nalan Yanran looked back, her heart filled with resentment.
Xiao Yan, you wait, one day I will make you pay the price.
