This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

Inside the main hall of Yunlan Sect.

Yun Yun was sitting in the center seat, her cold eyes sweeping across the elders below.

According to the rules of Yunlan Sect, this time every day is the time for the elders of Yunlan Sect to report relevant matters, but today, there is one person missing here.

"Why isn't Elder Yunlei here today?"

The other elders first looked at each other, and then several of them shook their heads. This was because they were all in charge of Yunlan Sect's internal affairs and seldom went out, so naturally they could not see the video played by Xuwu Tunyan.

A few others were hesitant to speak because they had already seen the video outside, but none of them dared to be the first to speak out.

Yun Leng, who was in the know, had a gloomy expression on his face.

"Yun Leng, do you know where Elder Yun Lei has gone?" Yun Yun turned her gaze to Yun Leng. Normally speaking, as the chief elder, he should know the whereabouts of every deacon elder.

Yun Leng froze for a moment, but he was no fool. After rolling his eyes twice, he immediately came up with a plan and instantly became distressed: "Sect Master, you have to make the decision for Elder Yun Lei!"

"Be the boss?" Yun Yun's eyes were full of doubts. "Yun Leng, what do you mean by this?"

"Master, you don't know that Elder Yunlei has been imprisoned by General Ganuo of the royal family!"

"!" Yun Yun's face changed, but she quickly returned to her original indifference. "You said that the royal family put him in prison? Why would they put him in prison for no reason?"

"Hey! It's like this. During the previous parade, an assassination occurred. As a result, Yun Che, a disciple of Elder Yun Lei, was framed as an assassin. Elder Yun Lei went to negotiate with the royal family but failed. Two days ago, he said he was going to the prison to visit Yun Che, and then he never came back. As a result, today the royal family said that Elder Yun Lei wanted to kill someone in prison, so they arrested him as well..."

Yun Leng is really good at making up stories. In his mouth, he completely turned the failed assassination attempt and the failed attempt to silence the witness upside down, and made the royal family the evil party.

But it was this set of lies that was full of loopholes that fooled the naive Yun Yun.

"Humph!" Yun Yun stood up from her seat, "Then why didn't you go and ask them for an explanation?"

Yun Leng was secretly delighted. Yun Yun did not question his words at the first time, which meant that she believed it. He hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "Moreover, I heard that these were all done by Xu Yan, who had contradicted the young master and Elder Ge Ye in the Xiao family before!"

"Xu Yan? Are you talking about the Xu Yan who mocked Yan Ran and had a conflict with Ge Ye in the Xiao family?"

"Yes, it's him!" Yun Leng took advantage of the situation and said, "Master, I think this guy must be the one trying to sow discord between us and the royal family!"

Yun Yun pondered for a moment, then stood up: "In that case, I will go meet this Xu Yan. I want to see where this guy gets the courage to go against us."

The prison on the other side.

"Don't even think about getting a single word out of me!" Yun Lei roared viciously.

"It doesn't matter." Xuwu Tunyan shrugged. "Although I have ten thousand ways to make you talk, I don't have the time to interrogate you."

This is not Xuwu Tunyan bragging. With the Soul Clan's research on the soul, forcing a confession is a piece of cake.

"However, this does not mean that I can't deal with you." Xuwu Tunyan smiled, then snapped his fingers, and a fighting spirit restriction silently entered Yunlei's body.

"What did you just do?" Yun Lei sensed the fighting spirit and his voice began to tremble.

"Are you scared now? I thought you would hold out for a while. Don't worry, the fighting spirit restriction will dissipate on its own in half an hour and won't cause any impact."

"It's just that... this fighting spirit restriction will force you to dance until it dissipates. Enjoy the feeling of being a Dancer!"

"What?" After hearing Xuwu Tunyan's words, Yun Lei suddenly felt that his body seemed to be out of control, and his hands and feet began to swing forcefully.

"Hahahahahaha!" Xuwu Tunyan laughed and left, leaving Yunlei "singing and dancing" in the prison.

After playing tricks on Yun Lei, Xuwu Tunyan walked towards the reception room, ready to say a few more words to Ganuo before leaving. When he was just a few steps away, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from the reception room.

Ganuo was arguing with the man in front of him. The man was wearing a simple linen robe. Although he looked old, he looked energetic.

"Mr. Jia, do you mean to release Yun Lei?"

Ganuo looked incredulous. "Didn't you see the video footage outside? It is a foregone conclusion that the guy killed people to silence them! In doing so, where does the law of the empire stand?!"

The old man in the hemp robe sighed: "Gano, I can understand your dissatisfaction, but today, the leader of the Yunyun Sect came to see me in person. You also know that the royal family is currently competing with the Yunlan Sect on the surface, but in fact..."

"So they want us to compromise?" Ganuo's tone was still full of gunpowder. "They sent assassins to kill us, and they still want us to compromise? If that's the case, wouldn't it have been better to let them kill my grandfather in the first place?!"

At the end of his words, Ganuo even felt that his anger was about to turn into a physical entity and burst out of his mouth.

"This robe... I see." Xuwu Tunyan saw the old man in the linen robe through soul perception and roughly guessed his identity - the royal guardian of the Jiama Empire, Jia Xingtian.

"I didn't expect Yun Yun to be so aggressive. She came to ask for an explanation. Hey, she's only good at bullying others."

Although Xuwu Tunyan was not very interested in the conflict between the royal family and the Yunlan Sect, he still had some good feelings towards the Gatgano grandfather and grandson.

Thinking of this, he pushed the door open and walked in carelessly.

"Mr. Xu Yan?"

"General Ganuo, you seem a little strange today, what happened?"

Ganuo sighed, with a hint of resentment in his voice.

"Mr. Xu Yan, let me introduce you first. This is..."

"No need. I think this is the rumored royal guardian, Mr. Jia Xingtian. I have heard of him for a long time."

In Xuwu Tunyan's impression, the original work didn't describe Jia Xingtian very much, but overall he wasn't that annoying. So Xuwu Tunyan still used standard etiquette.

"Are you Xu Yan?" Jia Xingtian looked at Xuwu Tunyan.

"Yes."

"You are the one who humiliated Nalan Yanran in the Xiao family and attacked the elder of the Yunlan Sect?"

"Yes, but the word humiliation might be a bit too much. I just let her know a little bit about how to be a human being." Xuwu Tunyan curled his lips. If he really did it, would Ge Ye still be alive?

"Did you catch that Yun Che before?"

"Yes."

"And those videos outside, were they made by you?"

"Yes."

"Well, from a selfish point of view, I admire your straightforward character. However, you also know that we represent the royal family, so there are more things to consider, so..."

"So Mr. Jia wants me to give up, right?" Xuwu Tunyan interrupted Jia Xingtian, "You think too much. I don't really care about this. I just played a trick on them while fulfilling my duties as a bodyguard. You should not convince me, but General Ganuo."

Jia Xingtian's eyes lit up, "Are you serious?"

"Of course." After Xuwu Tunyan finished speaking, his eyes suddenly changed, "It seems that a guest has arrived, Mr. Jia, please step aside with General Ganuo."

Of course, Jia Xingtian also sensed the arrival of the person. He looked at Xuwu Tunyan with an apologetic look, then pulled Ganuo away through another door.

As soon as the two of them left, someone opened the door. The one walking in front was a very beautiful woman, wearing a moon-white dress, with long smooth hair and a sword at her waist, she looked a bit like a fairy. Behind her was an old man with an old face and a hint of sinisterness.

"Hmph, she is indeed beautiful, but it's a pity that her emotional intelligence and EQ are too low." Xuwu Tunyan said with disdain in his heart.

"Are you Xu Yan?" Yun Yun looked up and down at the black-robed man in front of her. He looked ordinary, with nothing outstanding about him. She couldn't even sense his fighting spirit.

"If you already know the answer, why bother asking me specifically?" Xuwu Tunyan didn't give any face at all, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Yun Yun was feeling angry inside. As the leader of a sect, how could she have been treated like this before?

"How dare you! How dare you be so rude in front of the sect master!" Yun Leng was furious, with fighting spirit gathering in his hands, but at this moment he was secretly happy in his heart. Before, he was worried that if "Xu Yan" came up and knelt down to admit his mistake, he would not be able to take advantage of the situation. He did not expect that Xu Yan would be so aggressive.

"It was you who humiliated my disciple Yanran in the Xiao family and attacked Elder Ge Ye?"

"If you say so, then it must be." Xuwu Tunyan yawned. Facing Yun Yun, a naive person with no self-judgment, he would of course take the opportunity to provoke her.

"Zheng!" With a crisp sound of the sword being unsheathed, Yun Yun had already pulled out the sword in her hand, and the tip of the sword was pointing at Xuwu Tunyan's neck.

"Do you know that what you just said is enough for me to kill you?" There was no emotion in Yun Yun's words, as if the person in front of her was not a living person, but an insignificant ant.

"Then go ahead." Void Swallowing Flame smiled, "I bet your sword can't pierce my neck."

Yun Yun's face turned cold, and the wind-attributed fighting spirit gathered, and the power in her hands increased instantly.

But the next moment, Yun Yun felt something was wrong. Her sword seemed to have stabbed into a steel plate, and no matter how hard she tried, it couldn't go any deeper.

Xuwu Tunyan looked at Yun Yun's changing expression and couldn't help laughing in his heart, "You little brat, you want to kill me? Don't you even look at your own weight?"

"Master, there's no need to be polite to this guy, just kill him!" Yun Leng obviously didn't see the problem yet. He still thought Yun Yun was being soft-hearted and wanted to let Xu Yan live.

Yun Yun secretly groaned inwardly, I wanted to be rude, but the problem was that this guy's neck was as hard as a steel plate, and I couldn't pierce it at all. The opponent's defense was obviously not at the level of an ordinary Douhuang.

"How is it, Sect Master Yun Yun? It seems that I won the bet this time."

While Yun Yun was still hesitating about how to get off the stage, Yun Leng on the side had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation. He gathered his fighting spirit in both hands and slashed towards Void Devouring Flame with a fierce wind blade.

"How dare you disrespect the Sect Master, little Xu Yan, you will die—"

"You don't know what's good for you." Xuwu Tunyan looked at Yun Leng and raised his finger slightly. Yun Leng's fatal attack was instantly negated. Then a violent shock wave directly knocked Yun Leng away and broke through several walls before stopping.

Xuwu Tunyan really hated Yun Leng. If he didn't know that he would die in the future, Xuwu Tunyan would have wanted to burn him to death right now.
