Chapter 9: A Dou Wang expert from the Yunlan Sect comes to the door!
Xiao Ning thought for a moment and a smile appeared on her face.
"Grandpa is right. Let him apologize himself. If he dies in Yunlan Sect, it's his own fault."
The elder glanced at him but said nothing.
"Grandpa, when do you plan to talk to the clan leader?"
"Tomorrow, I will bring this up with the clan leader at the clan meeting. All the elders will support me then, so don't worry, grandson."
Xiao Ning nodded vigorously.
"Grandpa, I'm relieved to hear you say that."
The Grand Elder picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Xiao Yan, even if you've regained your strength, so what? You killed the people of the Yunlan Sect, and no one can protect you."
Xiao Yan sat in the chair with his eyes closed, the system panel in his mind still displayed: Two-Star Dou Wang.
A slight smile played on his lips as he felt a surge of satisfaction. His strength was improving faster than he had anticipated. He had thought it would take some time to improve, but it had happened so quickly. At his level of a two-star Dou Wang, this level of strength was already considered top-tier in the Jia Ma Empire.
Opening his eyes and pulling himself out of his thoughts, Xiao Yan stood up and walked to the window. It was already dark outside.
Yunlan Sect, if you're looking for death, I'll grant your wish.
……
In the Xiao family hall, the three elders sat on either side, their expressions not very pleasant.
The elder picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then put it down.
"Xiao Zhan, you must give us an explanation for this."
Xiao Zhan sat in the main seat and looked at him. "What instructions?"
"We can't just let Xiao Yan kill the Yunlan Sect members like this. What if the Yunlan Sect comes to our door if he doesn't apologize?"
"The Grand Elder is right."
The Second Elder chimed in, "Xiao Yan caused this trouble himself; we can't let it implicate the entire family."
"Xiao Zhan, as the clan leader, you must prioritize the clan."
The Third Elder also spoke up.
Xiao Zhan's face darkened.
"Do the elders mean to send Yan'er to her death at the Yunlan Sect?"
"We didn't send him to his death, we just sent him to apologize."
"Apologize?"
Xiao Zhan said coldly, "The Yunlan Sect has lost someone. Is an apology enough to settle things?"
"Then what do you suggest we do? Are we just going to wait for the Yunlan Sect to come knocking on our door? If that happens, our entire Xiao family will have to be buried with Xiao Yan. You might be willing to sacrifice the Xiao family, but we can't."
The Second Elder nodded. "Xiao Zhan, you can't sacrifice the entire family for your son."
"Chieftain, please reconsider."
Xiao Zhan looked at the extremely ugly faces of the elders.
"Yan'er is my son, and no one can touch him."
"you……"
The Grand Elder was furious.
"I said, no one is allowed to touch him."
Xiao Zhan interrupted him.
"Xiao Zhan, you are too selfish. You are the clan leader, not just Xiao Yan's father. You have to be responsible for the entire clan."
"The Grand Elder is right. The Xiao family of over a hundred people cannot be ruined because of your son."
Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth and was about to speak when hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
"Chieftain, something terrible has happened!"
A guard stumbled in.
"What is it?"
"Someone has injured our guards and broken in."
Xiao Zhan's expression changed. "Who is it?"
"I don't know, I don't recognize him, but he doesn't look like an ordinary person."
"Are they members of the Jia Lie family?"
The Grand Elder asked.
"No, it's...it's."
Xiao Zhan stood up. "Let's go out and take a look."
Several elders also stood up and followed Xiao Zhan out of the hall.
I had just reached the door when I heard a voice coming from outside.
"No need."
An old man walked in, wearing a gray robe, with a cold face and sharp eyes. Behind him was a young girl, Nalan Yanran.
Xiao Zhan saw Nalan Yanran's expression change.
"Niece Nalan, what brings you here?"
"Uncle Xiao, I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see Xiao Yan."
Xiao Zhan's face darkened.
"What do you want with Yan'er?"
"He killed an elder of our Yunlan Sect, and my teacher asked me to bring him back to the Yunlan Sect."
Xiao Zhan was startled; the Yunlan Sect's retaliation was happening faster than he had anticipated.
"Uncle Xiao, please hand him over. The teacher said that as long as Xiao Yan comes with us, this matter will not implicate the Xiao family."
Just as Xiao Zhan was about to speak, the Grand Elder spoke first.
"Miss Nalan, please wait a moment."
Turning to look at Xiao Zhan, the Grand Elder said, "Xiao Zhan, did you hear that? As long as you hand over Xiao Yan, the Yunlan Sect will not implicate the Xiao family."
"The Grand Elder is right. For the sake of the family, let's hand Xiao Yan over."
"Xiao Zhan, stop being so stubborn."
Xiao Zhan looked at the elders with anger in his eyes.
"I said, no one is allowed to touch Yan'er."
"Xiao Zhan!"
The elder roared, "Are you out of your mind?"
"I'm not crazy. Yan'er is my son. Anyone who wants to harm him will have to get past me first."
"you……"
The elder was so angry that he trembled all over.
"Uncle Xiao, why are you doing this? Xiao Yan killed people from the Yunlan Sect, and the Yunlan Sect will not let this go. It would be better for everyone if you handed him over."
Xiao Zhan looked at her coldly and said, "There's no need to say anything more. I will not hand Yan'er over."
Nalan Yanran's expression also darkened.
"Uncle Xiao, have you thought this through?"
"I've thought it through."
Nalan Yanran stopped speaking and stepped aside to look at the Fourth Elder.
The Fourth Elder stepped forward and looked at Xiao Zhan.
"You're Xiao Zhan?"
Looking at him, Xiao Zhan felt a surge of pressure. This old man was definitely at the Dou Wang level.
"I am."
"I am the Fourth Elder of the Yunlan Sect. Your son, Xiao Yan, killed someone from our Yunlan Sect. I am here today to take him away."
"impossible."
The Fourth Elder frowned. "Have you thought this through?"
"I've thought it through."
"Then you're asking for death."
His fighting spirit surged within him, emanating a powerful aura.
Xiao Zhan's expression changed.
The First Elder quickly stepped forward, "Fourth Elder, please calm down. Xiao Zhan didn't mean that."
"What does he mean?"
"The clan leader was just confused for a moment. Xiao Yan made a mistake, and our Xiao family will not cover it up."
"The Grand Elder is right. Our Xiao family will definitely give Yunlan Sect an explanation for Xiao Yan's matter."
"Fourth Elder, please calm down."
The Fourth Elder's expression softened somewhat upon seeing the other three elders.
"You guys know what's good for you."
Xiao Zhan looked at the elders, feeling both angry and furious.
"you……"
"Shut up."
The First Elder roared, "Do you want to bring ruin to the Xiao family?"
"The Grand Elder is right, Xiao Zhan, don't make any more mistakes."
"It's not worth it for Xiao Yan."
Just as Xiao Zhan was about to speak through gritted teeth, a voice came from outside the door.
"Elders, what are you doing?"
Everyone looked towards the doorway.
Xiao Yan walked in, dressed in a black robe with no expression on his face.
Nalan Yanran saw the hatred flash in his eyes.
"Xiao Yan".
Xiao Yan glanced at her.
"You're here again?"
"You killed Elder Ge Ye, and I'm here today to take you back to the Yunlan Sect."
"Take me back to the Yunlan Sect? With your abilities?"
Nalan Yanran's face turned pale.
"presumptuous."
The Fourth Elder said coldly, "You are Xiao Yan?"
"And who are you?"
"I am the Fourth Elder of the Yunlan Sect. You killed Ge Ye. I am here today to take you back to the Yunlan Sect for punishment."
Xiao Yan looked at him, his face expressionless.
"You?"
The Fourth Elder's face darkened.
"What an arrogant brat."
"Whether you're arrogant or not is none of your business. If you want to take me away, you'll have to see if you have the ability."
"court death."
The Fourth Elder roared angrily, his fighting spirit surging as he struck Xiao Yan with a palm.
