"Teacher, could you demonstrate for your disciple? Although Xiao Yan believed Yao Chen's words... but..."
Seeing is believing, and Xiao Yan wanted to see Yao Chen use this fighting technique with his own eyes.
Hearing Xiao Yan's request and seeing his expectant eyes, Yao Chen nodded.
"Alright, let's find another place for me to perform this for you."
"Remember, study hard and pay attention... I will only demonstrate this once."
As he spoke, he carried Xiao Yan towards a waterfall... Looking at the surrounding scenery, Yao Chen pointed to the stone wall, "Take a good look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Chen slapped his palm.
He absorbed the Xuanzhong Ruler from Xiao Yan's hand into his own palm.
Under Xiao Yan's astonished and admiring gaze, Yao Chen's face hardened into a serious expression, and subtle battle qi rose around him.
Xiao Yan was so intimidated by the sight that he dared not look directly at it, and could only hide behind a tree and watch with his eyes half-closed.
The next second, Bone Spirit Cold Flame appeared in Yao Chen's palm. With a sweep of his hand, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame attached itself to the Xuan Heavy Ruler. Then...
Flame Divides Wave Ruler
Actually, Yao Chen didn't want to say it... after all, it was too melodramatic.
But in order to demonstrate for Xiao Yan, he had no choice but to perform it. He shouted out his fighting technique.
It might be a bit cringey, but its power is still amazing.
With a deafening roar, the waterfall was cleaved in two by the fighting, evaporating completely. The stone wall was also sliced into two clean, flat halves.
Both halves of the stone wall were continuously scorched and frozen by the bone spirit's cold fire attribute. A loud bang.
The strange sound could be heard throughout Wutan City. Xiao Yan was also stunned.
If this were the original story, Yao Chen would definitely not be as powerful as he is now.
But things are different now. Yao Chen possesses a system, and his strength has reached the Dou Huang level... plus the strange fire within his body.
This fighting technique has been imbued with power that it shouldn't have.
Looking at the power his teacher had unleashed, and then at the fighting technique he was gripping tightly in his hand, Xiao Yan felt an indescribable joy.
This gave Xiao Yan even more confidence in defeating Nalan Yanran and washing away the shame of their annulment. However, what Xiao Yan didn't know was that... Nalan Yanran had already been taken by Yao Chen. Now, she was under Yao Chen's slave seal, reduced to his obedient subservient.
Now everything is in the shape of medicinal dust, and naturally, medicinal dust won't allow Xiao Yan to wash away the shame of the past three years. But that's a story for another time.
Xiao Yan's mind is now focused on Yao Chen's attack.
Until Yao Chen arrived in front of him. He saw Xiao Yan's lips curl into a wide smile.
Not knowing what he was laughing at, Yao Chen immediately spoke up. "Have you learned it yet?"
With that, he waved his hand, interrupting Xiao Yan's thoughts...
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately snapped out of his daze and met Yao Chen's gaze.
"Disciple has learned it, no, disciple will go learn it now..." Saying this, he took the Xuanzhong Ruler from Yao Chen's hand...
He began reading the scroll while wielding the Xuanzhong Ruler... trying to channel his battle qi. However, he couldn't succeed.
However, Yao Chen did not retaliate against the other party.
Instead, he observed quietly, occasionally offering guidance.
The waterfall here... the master and apprentice were enjoying a harmonious scene, but things were not so peaceful in Wutan City.
Yao Chen's sudden movement startled Xiao Zhan awake. Startled, he led his disciples to the back mountain to investigate.
Like Xiao Zhan, the other two major forces in Wutan City were also awakened.
Even the unaware Consort Ya led several servants and rushed towards the back mountain of the Xiao family.
Within the Jialie family, Jialiebi was also startled. He had thought it was some powerful figure who had come to the small city of Wutan.
He immediately instructed several clansmen, "Go quickly and invite Lord Liu Xi."
"The Xiao family may be planning something big soon. We can't just sit here and wait."
After saying that, Jialiebi looked in the direction of the Xiao family. The loud noise just now had also made Jialiebi's heart pound.
Chapter 140 Suppression
The crackdown on the Xiao family should have been delayed; it can't be dragged on any longer. After all...
You never know what might happen.
Now that the Xiao family has lost the support of the Nalan family in the capital, the news of the annulment of the engagement has already spread throughout the entire Wutan City.
Now, Galebi can be said to have...nothing to worry about. Except...the Mittel auction house.
However, it doesn't matter. According to the information gathered by Galebi's people in the capital, Utan City is merely a small, insignificant branch of the Mittel Auction House.
In particular, Yafei was Mittel's discarded pawn, a pawn that could be used at any time for marriage alliances and to consolidate the family's position. Thinking of this, Galebi summoned someone again.
"Go and summon Chief Obaba. Tell him we have something important to discuss."
Upon hearing this, the visitor immediately agreed and prepared to leave.
However, Galebi raised his hand to stop him. "Sure, just call the young master over."
After speaking, Jialiebi calmed down considerably, his gaze once again fixed on the Xiao family's direction. No matter what, Jialiebi was determined to fight for his interests.
Unable to directly enter the Ce family to investigate, they could only accelerate the suppression of the Xiao family... Meanwhile, Yao Chen and Xiao Yan were unaware of this.
The Flame Dividing Wave Ruler just now caused such a big commotion.
Just as Xiao Yan was still wielding the Xuan Heavy Ruler, several figures emerged from behind the tree. These figures were none other than Su Zhan and a group of elders, who were closest to him.
"Who are those below? Why are they in the back mountain of my Xiao family?"
The distance was too great for Xiao Zhan to see clearly who was dancing with a sword at the waterfall below.
However, the figure below wielding a giant sword bore a striking resemblance to Yan'er herself.
Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Yan immediately stopped wielding the Xuan Heavy Ruler. Following the sound, Xiao Yan looked upwards.
Upon seeing that the visitor was her father, she was overjoyed...
"Father, it's me. Xiao Yan." With that, Xiao Yan leaped towards Xiao Zhan.
"Huh?! It really is Yan'er!" Xiao Zhan was also dumbfounded. He had only suspected it before.
Hearing the voice now, they were absolutely certain that the person below was Xiao Yan. Upon hearing that it was Xiao Yan, the Xiao family members relaxed considerably.
Many people were relieved to find that they had come to fight the clan leader to the death, having initially thought they would be risking their lives.
After calming down for a while, seeing that Xiao Zhan and his son Xiao Yan were actually talking, the Third Elder asked the question that had been bothering him.
"Xiao Yan, now that you're here, what's the story behind this mountain?"
The Third Elder pointed to the waterfall that had been split in two by the Flame-Splitting Wave Ruler.
Upon hearing the question, Xiao Yan felt a little embarrassed. Since the others couldn't see their teacher, and he was afraid of angering Yao Chen if he revealed it, he could only pretend not to hear.
Seeing that Xiao Yan ignored him, the Third Elder showed no respect for Xiao Zhan and went to Xiao Yan's side. He grabbed Xiao Yan's collar.
"Xiao Yan, hurry up and tell me what happened."
"Don't think that just because you're the son of the clan chief, I can't do anything to you."
Xiao Yan's ignoring him just now was a blatant disregard for the Third Elder's dignity. Therefore, the Third Elder was not given any face whatsoever.
He grabbed Xiao Yan and asked him questions.
The aura of a Dou Shi emanating from him pressed down on Xiao Yan. Seeing this, Yao Chen watched the spectacle from the air. He wasn't about to help Xiao Yan in everything.
It's just an avatar; the system tasks and rewards, to put it bluntly...
It's targeting Xiao Yan. If I help him, wouldn't that be going against the system?
Seeing this, Yao Chen simply watched, completely ignoring Xiao Yan's pleading gaze.
Seeing that his teacher Yao Chen wasn't helping him, as if testing him, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, preparing to argue with the Third Elder. However, before Xiao Yan could even speak...
Xiao Zhan, who was sitting to the side, was the first to speak up.
"Third brother, aren't you taking yourself way too seriously?"
"I, the clan leader, haven't even spoken yet, what right do you have to question Yan'er?"
As he spoke, he forced the Third Elder back with a single palm strike. Seeing the Third Elder being driven back by Xiao Zhan...
The other two elders also stepped forward to catch him, helping the Third Elder deflect the force. "Xiao Zhan, didn't you go a little too far?"
Seeing the blood trickling from the Third Elder's mouth, the Second Elder also stepped forward. Hearing this, Xiao Zhan, without turning his head, said:
“I’m not dead yet, it’s not your place, an elder, to ask questions.”
"As long as I am the strongest in the Xiao family, then... I will still be the one to call the shots in the Xiao family."
"You... Hmph." Hearing this, the Second Elder knew this too. He could only snort coldly and turn to leave.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan also looked at Xiao Zhan with gratitude and admiration. Xiao Zhan couldn't help but pat Xiao Yan's head.
"With your father here, Yan'er, you can go ahead and do whatever you want." "By the way, what about that master you mentioned?"
"I don't know. Would it be possible to meet?" "I'd love to."
Before Xiao Zhan could finish speaking, Xiao Yan received a telepathic message from Yao Chen and politely declined, saying, "Father, my teacher doesn't like being disturbed."
Next time, if the teacher is willing, I will tell my father. Hearing this, Xiao Zhan didn't say anything more.
He glanced at the strange black coffin lid in Xiao Yan's hand and nodded.
"Then Yan'er, you should cultivate diligently with Senior Cha. I'll go and take care of some clan affairs first." With that, Xiao Zhan prepared to leave.
He originally wanted to get in touch with Xiao Yan and meet Xiao Yan's so-called teacher, so that he could help the Xiao family overcome their current predicament.
However, now that their hopes have been dashed, they can only shake their heads in resignation and leave.
Seeing the worry on his father's face, Xiao Yan grabbed Xiao Zhan's arm.
Chapter 141 Taking over from Yuan Yaochen, taking care of Xuan Yi
"whats the matter?"
"Do you need my help?"
"Yan'er is now strong enough to help you with some small matters, Father."
"No need... Just focus on your cultivation." Seeing Xiao Yan's concern for him, Xiao Zhan was very happy. He touched Xiao Yan's forehead, politely declining.
After all... for someone of Xiao Yan's strength to get involved would be tantamount to suicide. "Father..."
"You can tell me what happened, and I can ask the teacher for help."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan's expression shifted from sorrow to joy. "Alright then."
Upon hearing that Xiao Yan could seek help from the mysterious person behind him, Xiao Zhan didn't hesitate at all.
After all... although the family now possesses the resources of the Mittel Auction House, their existing shops are gradually declining. Thinking this, Xiao Zhan recounted the whole story to Xiao Yan.
"Just recently, Galibi and Obapa have been up to their old tricks again." After finishing his rambling explanation, Xiao Zhan left with a few Xiao family guards.
After everyone left, Xiao Yan looked expectantly at Yao Chen in the air. "Teacher..."
"Didn't you say that Gu He, a sixth-rank official, wasn't even worthy of carrying your shoes?" "Now... there's a perfect opportunity to make a name for yourself... I wonder..." "Don't even think about it. I'm just your teacher, not your servant." Hearing Su Yan's shameless words, Yao Chen directly refused. Don't expect your teacher to do everything.
"Now I am merely a broken soul, and cannot be consumed in large quantities."
"If you waste your soul power on petty gains and trivial matters, you will disappear into the world at any time." Although Yao Chen refused, he gave a suitable reason.
This made Xiao Yan feel much better. After all...
Xiao Yan didn't want Yao Chen to disappear either, otherwise... he might still be punished by Nalan Ma Ran three years later. Seeing this, Xiao Yan felt relieved.
He shook his head and said helplessly, "Alright then."
Just as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Yao Chen, who had been calmly observing, suddenly heard a system announcement in his mind. [Ding, system task triggered.]
