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

In a year and a half, perhaps Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan will both be qualified to join the Inner Academy, and I will get a performance bonus for free.

As for the sense of accomplishment in teaching students, she felt that it was completely unimportant in front of someone like Zhang Yuan, wasn't it?

"Thank you, mentor," Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu said.

Next, Xiao Yu was pestered by a group of people asking about Zhang Yuan's situation.

I learned that he began practicing Qi cultivation at the age of four, possessed the ninth level of Dou Qi at the age of ten, and successfully condensed a Dou Qi vortex to become a Dou Zhe at the age of eleven.

Became a Grand Master at sixteen!

At the age of sixteen and a half, he became a peak Grand Battle Master, defeated a peak Battle Spirit in a head-on battle, and became the city lord and army commander.

He went to the Monster Mountain Range to train at the age of seventeen, and became a peak Battle Spirit at the age of seventeen and a half, and could break through to Battle King at any time.

This talent can only be described as freakish.

Finally, everyone, including Ruolin, exclaimed, "This is terrifying!"

Such a prodigy would be extraordinary even in the Central Plains. You couldn't find one like him even if you searched the entire Canaan Academy. No wonder he didn't apply.

"Brother Yuan is back! How did the entrance exam for Canaan Academy go?"

Within the inner realm of the Great Void, Xun'er sensed Zhang Yuan's appearance, opened her eyes, and stopped cultivating.

"A recruitment team led by a Grand Dou Master is naturally nothing to see." Zhang Yuan chuckled and said, "Helping Xiao Yanzi ask for leave is no problem."

"Brother Yuan, have you signed up?" Xun'er asked.

"Do you think I need to?" Zhang Yuan blinked.

"The founder and dean of the inner academy of Canaan Academy was a Dou Zun powerhouse, and he was also proficient in lightning attribute." Xun'er answered irrelevantly.

“That inner court dean is elusive and hasn’t appeared at Canaan Academy for a long time.” Zhang Yuan said with a smile, “In recent years, the Black Corner Region’s Demon Flame Valley and Canaan Academy have become mortal enemies. The founder was only a Dou Zong, but now he’s living a more and more comfortable life.”

Zhang Yuan knew more about the Dean of the Inner Court of Canaan Academy than Xun'er did.

The dean's name is Mang Tianchi. He is now a high-level semi-saint who could become a Dou Sheng at any time, and he is also an elder of the Lei Clan, one of the eight ancient imperial clans.

If it weren't for the Thor's Visualization Diagram, Zhang Yuan wouldn't mind finding a way to get involved with the other party, or even becoming their disciple; it wouldn't be shameful.

But he has a cheat code; he can now fuse a mid-level Earth-rank technique that is more powerful than many high-level Earth-rank techniques. He will naturally become stronger in the future, so there is no need for him to have such a "teacher" above him.

Even if you want to recruit and befriend someone, you can use other methods.

“Perhaps Brother Yuan doesn’t need anyone to teach him cultivation, but it would be good to befriend this powerful figure,” Xun’er suggested.

The subtext is that Zhang Yuan can leverage his connections as a student at Canaan Academy to build relationships with the academy's strong members and outstanding students, making it much easier to establish his own power base.

"This matter can be left to Xiao Yanzi," Zhang Yuan said with a gentle smile.

"It's good that Brother Yuan understands." Xun'er nodded slightly, a beautiful smile blooming on her face.

“Speaking of Dou Zun, I do have something I need your help with, Xun’er.” Zhang Yuan took out a piece of paper from his storage ring, placed it in front of Xun’er, and said, “Please have the person behind you deliver this letter to Venerable Feng of the Starfall Pavilion.”

This letter was written by Yao Lao at his request, using a special encrypted script that only Venerable Feng could understand.

The letter was quite simple. The old apothecary reported that he was safe and sound, and asked Venerable Feng to go to Stone Desert City of the Gama Empire in the Northwest Continent to talk to Zhang Yuan in detail.

Zhang Yuan wasn't the kind of dimwit who, despite having powerful backers, insisted on pursuing self-development out of excessive pride.

The sooner you become stronger, the more time you save that you can use to benefit yourself and those around you.

“Starfall Pavilion, Venerable Wind.” Xun’er’s beautiful eyes flickered, and she chuckled, “Okay, Brother Yuan.”

She knew that the mysterious old man beside Xiao Yan was the Medicine Venerable, who was famous throughout the continent in the past, so it was normal for him to ask the Wind Venerable to come over.

"However, since that Medicine Venerable was betrayed by his adopted son and disciple Han Feng, it's hard to say whether Wind Venerable has any issues. I need to consider this for Brother Yuan." Xun'er secretly decided to ask her father to send a Dou Zun over.

If Venerable Feng can't be relied upon, then I can cover for Brother Yuan.

If Venerable Feng can be trusted, then the Dou Zun I invited will also think more highly of Brother Yuan.

The only downside is that I had originally agreed with my father to return to the family after my twentieth birthday, but after this request, I might really have to go back on my eighteenth birthday.

I only have less than two years left to stay by Yuan-gege's side, so I must cherish it.

"Brother Yuan, Xun'er wants to hear a story today." Xun'er put away the letter, cupped her cheeks in her hands, and stared at Zhang Yuan.

"Alright," Zhang Yuan chuckled. "Today I'll tell you about 'The Tomb of the Burial of Heaven'."

"Let's talk."

The Canaan College admissions team stayed in Utan for three days.

For the past three days, Xiao Zhan, as the clan leader, hosted Ruolin and her entourage, but they showed no arrogance whatsoever.

Three days later, the younger generation of the Xiao family left with Ruolin, preparing to return directly to Canaan Academy in the Black Corner Region.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan returned to the Taixu Realm and followed Zhang Yuan to the Stone Desert City, located in the eastern province of Tagor Desert and near the border.

After half a day of flight, Zhang Yuan appeared in the sky above a huge city on the eastern outskirts of the Tagor Desert, his eyes filled with scrutiny.

This is a city located in the desert. Compared with those cities located inside the empire, it is less bustling, but more simple and profound, and its defenses are much more formidable.

Throughout the city, squads of fully armed soldiers can be seen patrolling everywhere, their eyes extremely sharp.

There were also some teams, all wearing sharp black armor, who were Black Armor Guard squads.

"It seems that Qin Hai and the others are not doing so well in accepting the task." A sharp glint flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes.

Although he had not yet taken up his post in Shimo City, he had long ago asked Qin Zhendong for the battalion of men who had once served under him to serve as his personal guards and transferred them to Shimo City to oversee the situation.

The current situation is different from what he had planned.

However, instead of rushing to the city lord's mansion to convene his subordinates for a meeting, he used his divine sense to scan the area and flew to a courtyard in Shimo City that was no less large than the Xiao family compound in Wutan City.

"boom!"

Inside the council hall of this courtyard, a young man slammed his fist on the table, his eyes filled with intense anger.

This young man bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Zhan. He was dressed in a mercenary uniform, exuding a heroic air. He sat upright, and his dark eyes revealed a sinister glint, as well as a ruthless heart like that of a wolf. He was clearly a ruthless person.

He is Xiao Yan's second brother, Xiao Li.

"This is outrageous! Does he think he can act with impunity just because he has the deputy city lord backing him up?" Xiao Li clenched his fists, making a cracking sound.

Upon hearing this, the young man sitting in the head seat, dressed in a white robe and looking very refined, said without changing his expression, "Second brother, don't fall for their tricks. They are clearly trying to suppress our Stone Desert Mercenary Group, and it's very likely that they are targeting Brother Yuan."

This young man is Xiao Yan's elder brother, Xiao Ding.

“That’s why I’m so angry,” Xiao Li said coldly.

Although he was ruthless, he was not stupid and was extremely patient, but at this moment he did not want to control his emotions.

The reason for this was that they guessed the other party was plotting against Zhang Yuan, their good cousin!

"That Commandant Qin Hai only did us a little favor, and Qian Yishan suppressed him like this. This is clearly looking down on Brother Yuan and plotting against him," Xiao Li said coldly.

"There might be something behind this involving the Mohist school," Xiao Ding said, stroking his teacup. "The city lord of Mo City is a member of the Yunlan Sect and has an extremely close relationship with the Mohist school of Yancheng. You could even say they're inseparable."

"The Mo family of Yancheng has great ambitions and has been expanding its influence over the eastern provinces. To this end, they sent someone to Shimo City to take over as the city lord."

"As a result, Yuan Di became the city lord of Shimo City, squeezing out the Mo family. Qian Yishan was originally a dog of the Mo family. After learning about our relationship with Yuan Di, he would naturally come to suppress us and Commandant Qin Hai."

It's easy to tell from the brothers' conversation that Stone Desert City is far from peaceful, filled with power struggles.

“We can’t stay on the defensive forever, can we?” Xiao Li said coldly, “Brother Yuan came to Shimo City as the city lord and even asked Commandant Qin Hai to make things convenient for us in advance. It’s obvious that he knew we were here.”

Even if we can't help him, we can't hold him back.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ding rubbed his temples, but for a moment he couldn't come up with a good idea.

"Second brother, there's no use in thinking too much when faced with absolute strength."

Qian Yishan is a one-star Dou Ling, while they are not even a Great Dou Shi.

Qian Yishan also has the Mo family and the city lord of Mo City behind him. The city lord of Mo City is a Dou Wang level expert, and the Mo family is backed by the Yunlan Sect.

Whether comparing ability or background, they are far inferior.

"Damn it." Xiao Li felt a surge of anger.

At this moment, a voice came from inside the hall: "Big brother is right. In the face of absolute strength, there is no need to think so much."

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were taken aback, then simultaneously turned to look at the first seat on the right side of the hall, where a young man had appeared out of nowhere.

After seeing the young man's face clearly, the two showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"Brother Yuan!?"

Chapter 111 The Zhang Family of Stone Desert City, Head Maid Steward Qinglin!

"Big brother, second brother, it's been a long time."

Zhang Yuan smiled at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

Because of his presence, Xiao Yan was no longer arrogant. The two unparalleled geniuses made the Xiao Zhan clan lineage as stable as Mount Tai, and the entire Xiao family was extremely united, especially the Xiao Zhan lineage.

Zhang Yuan's mother was the aunt of the three Xiao brothers, and the mother of the three Xiao brothers was also Zhang Yuan's aunt. They had a very good relationship since childhood.

"You boy."

Xiao Li quickly got up and walked to Zhang Yuan, gently punching him in the chest.

"Brother Yuan, it's been a long time. You're still as charming as ever." Xiao Ding also stood up, a smile appearing on his refined face.

"What do you mean 'still the same'? It's clearly even better than before." Zhang Yuan smiled confidently.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were taken aback, then burst into laughter, but their eyes were a little moist.

It's been more than two years since we last met, but the warmth and ease between us haven't diminished in the slightest. How could anyone not be happy?

"Big brother, second brother, you haven't seen Xiao Yanzi and Uncle for a long time, have you? Let's have a family meal together." Zhang Yuan slightly suppressed his smile, his soul perception enveloping Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

The two felt a strange power envelop their bodies, but it disappeared before they could react.

However, the environment around him has changed.

The view is of a pavilion built on a lake, located in the backyard of a detached house, with a very unique scenery.

Sitting in the pavilion were a middle-aged man and a young man of about eighteen years old, namely Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan.

"Father, Xiao Yanzi."

"Big brother, second brother."
