Battle Through the Heavens: I had no intention of getting involved, but a yandere beauty stuck to my

Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on a palm-leaf cushion in the room, slowly circulating his Dou Qi, hoping to succeed this time.

Xiao Yan continuously channeled his internal fighting spirit into his dantian.

However, Xiao Yan felt the Dou Qi constantly gathering in his dantian, but his face showed no joy. As expected, the Dou Qi that had just been gathered disappeared instantly.

Despite enduring such torment for so long, Xiao Yan still opened his beautiful eyes, which were bloodshot.

"Why is this happening? Where did my fighting spirit go? Why is God treating me like this? If that's the case, why give me any extraordinary talent in the first place?"

Xiao Yan kept cursing the heavens, but his body was constantly gathering fighting spirit, searching for that glimmer of hope in his heart.

At this time, Xiao Miao had already arrived alone in the eastern part of the Gama Empire.

After separating from Guhe in the capital, Xiao Miao thought that this place was close to the Tagor Desert and was sparsely populated in the past, so coming here was the best choice.

Arriving at a tree hollow in a nearby mountain range, after several searches, they found no powerful magical beast aura.

After much deliberation, Xiao Miao decided to break through his cultivation level here.

His internal fighting spirit had already reached its limit, and he was just one step away from breaking through to the Dou Wang realm. If it weren't for Yun Yun's sealing technique during this period, he would already be a Dou Wang by now.

Xiao Miao knew that his breakthrough to Dou Wang would definitely cause a big commotion. If anyone broke through here, even if Yun Yun found out, he would have already fled far away.

Xiao Miao wasted no more time. He set up a perception array outside and then took out a pill from his storage ring and swallowed it.

As the fighting spirit within his body surged wildly, Xiao Miao immediately sat cross-legged, guiding the violent fighting spirit within him to break through the barrier of his realm.

As time passed, Xiao Miao's battle qi barrier gradually cracked. Sensing that he was only a hair's breadth away from breaking through, he couldn't help but continue to exert his strength.

The process of expanding the meridians was extremely painful, but the thought of being able to soar freely in the sky after breaking through to the Dou Wang realm strengthened his resolve, making the pain even more intense.

Suddenly, Xiao Miao opened his tightly closed eyes, and a pair of icy blue battle aura wings unfolded from behind him.

At the same time, a surge of Dou Wang-level Dou Qi emanated from this place and spread outwards.

A Dou Wang powerhouse of such a young age is simply terrifying.

"I've finally broken through to the Dou Wang level. Now if I encounter my master again, I'll have time to use a secret technique to escape."

Xiao Miao thought confidently that now that he had broken through to the Dou Wang level, and with his soul secret technique and the inheritance in his bloodline, he was very confident that he could escape even if he faced Yun Yun again, and he would ensure that he would not repeat the secret sealing technique of the Yunlan Sect.

"Now that my cultivation has broken through and my aura has spread, I will find a new place to consolidate my cultivation before returning to the Xiao family to investigate and check on my third brother's situation."

Xiao Miao flapped his wings and murmured softly in the air. Then he looked ahead and, in the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Three hours later, an old man dressed in a hemp robe arrived at the place.

If anyone were to see this, they would be greatly shocked. This person was dressed in a hemp robe, and a pair of battle aura wings floated in the air behind him.

The visitor was none other than Jia Xingtian, the guardian of the royal family.

He was chatting with Yao Ye in the royal palace when he suddenly sensed a power level of Dou Wang from afar.

"It seems that the Jia Ma Empire has gained another Dou Wang powerhouse, but I wonder who it is."

Jia Xingtian looked at the remaining battle energy in the air and said calmly, for some reason, the battle energy here felt somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Never mind, as long as it doesn't harm the royal family."

Jia Xingtian stood in the air, frowning and pondering for a while, before shaking his head helplessly.

At this moment, Jia Xingtian seemed to sense something and turned around to look behind him.

Several more figures appeared before his eyes, and upon closer inspection, he recognized them as the other members of the top ten strongest individuals on the Jia Ma Empire's list.

"Add old man."

The group of people who had just arrived recognized the old man in hemp robe who had arrived earlier as Jia Xingtian.

Chapter 18 Rage

"Elder Jia, can you see who broke through here?"

A middle-aged man with large muscles and a serious expression stepped forward and said that this man was Yan Shi, who was known as the Lion King in the Gama Empire.

"When I arrived, there was no one here. I don't know who broke through here. I hope it wasn't someone from the Izumo Empire or the Snake People."

Because this place is located in the border desert, not only the snake people, but also people from the nearby Izumo Empire often come here. This aura is also extremely hidden, and Jia Xingtian has never sensed it before, so he is not sure now.

Jia Xingtian glanced at the people around him and saw that Gu He was deep in thought in the crowd, but Yun Yun was unusually absent.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. You see, ever since Gu He joined the Yunlan Sect, he has rarely shown his face except when he is with Yun Yun.

"Besides Hai Bodong, that old guy has been missing for years. Elder Gu, even Sect Master Lianyun didn't come this time?"

Gu He, who was still deep in thought, immediately snapped out of his reverie when he heard Jia Xingtian's question.

"Sect Master Yun went to the Monster Mountain Range a few days ago to hunt for supplies for the sect. He should be arriving at Yunlan Sect soon."

Upon hearing Gu He's reply, Jia Xingtian immediately realized what was going on.

Without much thought, since they hadn't met, Jia Xingtian took his leave first and then departed. Seeing this, the others also took their leave.

Gu He was left alone here. He looked at the remaining battle qi energy and couldn't help but chuckle.

"It seems you've already broken through to the Dou Wang level."

He said it with an air of certainty.

Gu He was no stranger to the remaining battle qi in this place. A few days ago, when he rescued Xiao Miao, he unlocked the battle qi seal for him and came into contact with the battle qi in his body.

Therefore, he was very certain of it, and considering his peak Dou Ling cultivation level, the timing was also very suitable.

With that thought in mind, Guhe did not linger there and left.

As Gu He and his companions departed, at the same time on the other side, just as he had said, Yun Yun was already approaching the Yunlan Sect.

At this moment, Yun Yun flapped her wings in the sky and flew towards the mountain. She was also dressed in plain clothes, but now they were stained with a lot of blood.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Xiao Miao. I wonder if she's missed me, my dear disciple. I'll be there soon, but I hope the bloodstains on my body will disgust her."

Yun Yun frowned slightly as she looked at the bloodstains on her clothes. After hesitating for a while, she decided to go and check on Xiao Miao first.

"Honestly, if we hadn't come back and encountered the Amethyst Winged Lion King on the way, we would have been back by now."

Yun Yun seemed to be lamenting her bad luck, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes. However, the thought of being able to be with her good disciple again soon quickly transformed her annoyance into eager joy.

Before long, with the speed of a Douhuang, Yunyun arrived above Yunlan Sect Mountain. She glanced at the disciples practicing below, rows of them dressed in white, neat and orderly. A satisfied smile appeared on her lips. After all, she had not failed the important task entrusted to her by her master.

Without further thought, Yun Yun quickly flew towards the back mountain.

Yunyun removed the wings from her back and landed outside the secret room behind her house.

But a moment later, Yun Yun's eager joy was immediately replaced by anxiety.

Because she discovered that the battle qi barrier she had set up outside the secret room had been destroyed.

Now that the barrier is gone, then Xiao Miao...

As soon as the thought entered her mind, Yun Yun couldn't wait any longer and immediately rushed into the house.

But what you fear most is what comes to pass.

Seeing that the room was empty, Yun Yun's eyes darted around, searching for Xiao Miao's figure.

Suddenly I saw the tattered clothes on the bed, and that was all I had.

Apart from this, no other items were found to remain.

He's really gone.

Yun Yun's mind was filled with the image of Xiao Miao's resolute figure. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she could no longer control her emotions. She violently wanted to destroy everything in front of her.

"bump."

With a loud bang, Yun Yun flapped her wings and rushed to the main hall of the sect to hold an emergency meeting, leaving behind only fragments scattered all over the ground.

The more she thought about the remaining clothes, the more it seemed to mock her incompetence—incompetence that prevented her from keeping the one she loved, and from keeping her beloved disciple.

She knew that someone whose fighting spirit she had sealed could not break through her remaining barrier, meaning that someone had helped Xiao Miao escape or knew his whereabouts.

This person is most likely someone from within the Yunlan Sect.

As Yun Yun convened an emergency meeting, all the elders of the Yunlan Sect, from the lowest to the highest, gathered there, looking at Yun Yun with tense expressions.

After all, Yun Yun's appearance at this moment was rather frightening. Her white clothes, mostly stained with blood, clung to her body. She held the sword [Yun Yi] in her hand, and her blood-red eyes scanned the crowd below. She also exuded the pressure of a Dou Huang level.

This left the people below speechless with frustration. They had thought that the sect leader had convened an emergency meeting because something serious had happened in the sect, but after the meeting, he remained silent and put on this demeanor, which frightened everyone. The sect leader, who was usually so gentle and peaceful, had become like this.

"Now that everyone is here, Elder Yunling, is there anything you wish to say?"

Just as Yun Yun was about to speak, she saw Yun Leng tremblingly raise his arm, his tone immediately becoming unfriendly.

"Um, Elder Guhe hasn't arrived yet?"

Yun Yun was not unaware that although everyone present at the ceremony that day was a suspect, Gu He was the first to be ruled out, so she did not rush to notify him.

She was aware of Gu He's feelings for her, but she had no feelings for him. However, he was a serving elder of the Yunlan Sect and the number one alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire. So she could only politely refuse him on ordinary days. Without Yun Yun's permission, he would never go near her house.

"It's alright. If this matter proves truly unsolvable, I will personally seek Elder Gu's help."

Yun Yun really didn't want to seek Gu He's help unless absolutely necessary. It wasn't that she didn't know that a sixth-grade alchemist's call would make things much easier, but it was precisely because of this that knowing the truth behind Xiao Miao's disappearance made things even more difficult.

With Yun Yun speaking, Yun Leng had no choice but to twist his fat body and retreat.

Yun Yun then recounted Xiao Miao's disappearance, but concealed part of the truth, changing her imprisonment to seclusion, only to have her kidnapped by thieves taking advantage of her unpreparedness.
