Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

Hearing that Tang Xiaosan's past memories were beginning to resurface as his strength increased, and that he was secretly manipulating the Yunlan Sect, she was furious.

Hearing that Gu He had unexpectedly discovered the situation and joined forces with her to deal with Tang Xiaosan, she breathed a sigh of relief. But then she heard Zhang Yuan say that Tang Xiaosan had managed to escape and joined Canaan Academy, becoming a disciple of a master. With his help, Tang Xiaosan repaired his damaged soul and quickly regained his Dou Zong strength.

In return, he helped the Grandmaster, who was destined to remain at the peak of the Great Dou Master for life, break through to become a Dou Spirit. Then, he personally killed him and said, "You've already become a Dou Spirit, you should be content. Do you even deserve to be the master of Tang Xiaosan, the protector of my Soul Hall?"

Ling Ying: "."

How did the elder of the Spirit Hall become a protector of the Spirit Hall?

If Ling Ying were a time traveler, she would definitely say, "You've given yourself away, haven't you?"

Zhang Yuan had actually added something on purpose, but seeing that Yun Yun was listening attentively, he continued, "Tang Xiaosan killed the master, but he didn't know that he was seen by the guardian of Canaan Academy. He used every means to escape, and then returned to the Jia Ma Empire, preparing to destroy the Yunlan Sect and seize Yun Yun."

"Yun Yun had her own opportunities and successfully broke through to the Dou Zong realm, and the two sides clashed."

At this point, Zhang Yuan cut off a piece of roasted meat and handed it to Yun Yun, saying, "Sect Leader Yun Yun, it's time to eat."

Yunyun: ?

"All I want to know now is whether I killed Tang Xiaosan, that ungrateful, hypocritical, and beastly bastard," Yun Yun asked.

“Of course,” Zhang Yuan nodded. “You won.”

Yun Yun: "."

"What about the details?"

"Details?" Zhang Yuan blinked and said, "How would ordinary people know the details of a battle between Dou Zong? Do you know, Sect Master Yun Yun?"

Yunyun:

She had never actually seen it before.

"Fine, as long as I win in the end." Yun Yun took the roasted meat, elegantly tore off a piece, and put it in her mouth.

The next moment, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "It tastes good!"

She quickly finished her meal and went to get another one.

At the same time, he didn't forget to ask, "So why is this book called 'The Secret Chamber Emperor'?"

Chapter 43 Yun Yun: My Hands Itch to Chop Something

Tell me why.

I can't very well tell you that the beginning of this story is inextricably linked to a secret room.

"Actually, I haven't figured this out myself. After thinking about it, I guess it's just to grab attention," Zhang Yuan said with utmost sincerity.

"Trying to grab attention?" Yun Yun flicked a strand of hair, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Is there anything particularly noteworthy about the phrase "Secret Chamber Battle King"?

If it were her, she wouldn't have the slightest desire to listen.

“Of course.” Zhang Yuan nodded and said, “Villain, secret chamber, Yunyun Sect Master—don’t these labels together make people’s minds wander?”

Yun Yun: "."

So that's what she meant. She suddenly wanted to chop something up.

"Don't you think you're funny?" Yun Yun squinted her eyes.

Zhang Yuan smiled, cut off another piece of roasted meat and handed it over, then asked, "So, Sect Master Yunyun, could you tell me why you came to find me?"

If we don't change the subject, he might just get into a fight.

"You noticed?" Yun Yun raised her eyebrows slightly.

“You didn’t hide it either.” Zhang Yuan ate meat with gusto, his manner bold yet not crude, and said with a smile, “The dignified sect master of Yunlan Sect, a top-ranked Dou Huang powerhouse in the Jia Ma Empire, coming to Qingyun Town can be considered as passing through. But to have the leisure to accompany a mere Da Dou Shi like me to eat meat and listen to my stories is quite unusual.”

"Finding me is definitely one of the purposes of your trip."

His invitation to Yun Yun to dine and tell stories was just a test; he didn't expect Yun Yun to go along with it. Naturally, he didn't mind having a beautiful woman accompany him for dinner, and he even had a fourth-tier magic core as payment for the meal.

Yun Yun nodded slightly, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration, and asked, "You are indeed very clever, so you should be able to guess why I came to see you, right?"

Despite achieving fame at a young age, he remains composed and self-assured. He possesses exceptional talent yet remains humble and unassuming, along with wisdom far exceeding that of his peers.

Bringing such a prodigy into the Yunlan Sect would definitely be a good thing.

"They probably want to recruit me into the Yunlan Sect," Zhang Yuan guessed, his tone quite certain.

Yun Yun stared at Zhang Yuan and asked, "What do you think?"

"Sorry, I refuse." Zhang Yuan shook his head.

Zhang Yuan naturally couldn't agree to that. Although he wasn't surnamed Xiao, he still had Xiao family blood.

The Yunlan Sect may be colluding with the Soul Palace, and their positions are implicitly opposed to his; he would never willingly walk into their trap.

However, hidden opposition does not necessarily mean actual opposition. The reason why Yunlan Sect became the so-called villain is ultimately because Yun Yun's teacher, Yun Shan, sought cooperation with the Soul Palace in order to break through to the Dou Zong level.

Before that, Yunshan had a good reputation among outsiders. He was a person who could distinguish right from wrong, acted rationally, loved quiet cultivation, and was very cultured, rather than being ambitious, cold-hearted, or even coercing his disciples.

If we can help Yunshan resolve the influence of the Soul Hall, or even turn against the Soul Hall, we might not be able to align our positions.

If all else fails, he also has a way to alienate Yunshan from his followers and have Yunyun lead the rebellion.

But in any case, he will not join the Yunlan Sect.

He has a clear plan for his own development.

The Yunlan Sect and the Jiama Empire are both too small.

"Why?" Yun Yun's beautiful eyes flashed and she said, "You didn't even listen to the conditions I could offer."

"There's no need for such trouble." Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "If it were three years ago, I might have agreed, but now... Elder Ling!"

As Zhang Yuan finished speaking, a man in black robes suddenly appeared behind him.

Yun Yun's pupils suddenly contracted, and she instinctively adjusted her internal fighting spirit.

She was a three-star Dou Huang, yet she didn't discover his existence beforehand, nor did she see how he appeared.

Upon closer inspection, this person gave her an extremely dangerous feeling.

This person's strength is definitely superior to hers.

“This is my protector,” Zhang Yuan said to Yun Yun.

Not waving a flag when you have one is foolish.

What Xun'er gave him, that's his.

Guardian?

Yun Yun was startled.

The presence of protectors indicates that Zhang Yuan has already joined a certain faction.

This protector is stronger than her, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect. That side is at least a second-rate power on the continent with a high-level Dou Zong in charge, or even a first-rate power with a Dou Zun in charge.

As for top-tier forces with legendary Dou Sheng level experts in charge, Yun Yun dared not even think about it.

Even a second-rate power could easily annihilate the Yunlan Sect, which wasn't even considered strong among third-rate powers.

Yun Yun felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, thinking to herself that a genius like Zhang Yuan would never let her get away with something so easy.

"Greetings, senior." Yun Yun clasped her hands in greeting to Ling Ying.

Ling Ying glanced at Yun Yun and said indifferently, "Yun Potian once made a name for himself on the continent. I never thought that the Yunlan Sect he founded would have fallen to such a state. Now the sect leader is only a three-star Dou Huang."

Zhang Yuan: "."

As expected of people from an ancient clan, they are still somewhat arrogant.

Yun Yun felt a sudden wave of embarrassment; she had never been looked down upon like this since her debut.

But given Ling Ying's strength and her background as a member of the worst second-rate power, it's normal for them to look down on her.

"Your teachings are wise, senior. I will certainly strive to live up to our ancestors' name," Yun Yun could only say.

Ling Ying didn't say anything more.

Not wanting the atmosphere to become awkward, Zhang Yuan said, "Elder Ling, you may step down."

Elder Ling: "."

You asked me to come out and support you, and I did, but you won't even give me a piece of meat?

"This is for you!"

Zhang Yuan cut off a thigh (as tall as a person) and threw it to Ling Ying.

"And this too." Zhang Yuan took out the wine he had brewed.

This wine is made by refining the second-tier magic core of a spirit fruit with the Three Dragons Thunderfire. It can accelerate the recovery of battle qi and tastes extremely good.

"Thank you, young master."

Having received the roast meat and wine, Ling Ying withdrew satisfied.

Since the protection operation shifted from the shadows to the open, Zhang Yuan has frequently ordered him around, but has also given him sufficient respect and benefits, so overall it's not a bad deal.

After Ling Ying left, Zhang Yuan and Yun Yun looked at each other for a long time before the latter spoke first: "How can we eat meat without wine? Aren't you going to give me some?"

Her voice had become gentler and less haughty, placing Zhang Yuan on an equal footing.

If Zhang Yuan doesn't fall, surpassing her is inevitable, and he will surely become a Dou Zong in the future.

“My wine isn’t cheap,” Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

Yun Yun smiled gently, her beauty blooming like a snow lotus in an instant, leaving Zhang Yuan momentarily stunned.

"This is a gift I wanted to give you as a token of my friendship during this trip."

Yun Yun took out a jade box from her storage ring and tossed it to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan opened it and glanced at it, discovering it was a Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill.

Good heavens, a fourth-grade pill as a gift? He believed it.

This is clearly an attempt to make an early investment and cultivate good relations.

"It's quite valuable." Zhang Yuan accepted the jade box with a smile, "I'll gladly accept it."
