Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

Yunlan Sect is one of the most powerful forces in the Jia Ma Empire.

Located just a few dozen miles from the capital of the Jia Ma Empire, it sits atop a majestic mountain, and is known as Yunlan Mountain because of the existence of the Yunlan Sect.

Yunlan Mountain is extremely steep, with cliffs on three sides and only one road leading to the summit, making it a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Two high walls were built on Yunlan Mountain, dividing the entire mountain into three parts.

In different regions, they also represent different identities.

Located at the foot of the mountain are the outer disciples of the Yunlan Sect. Their cultivation levels are low, mostly between the third and eighth levels of Dou Qi, and they are not even Dou Zhe.

This area has the most Yunlan Sect disciples and is also the main area for Yunlan Sect to select talents.

If one can advance to the level of a Fighter before the age of twenty, then one can cross the first high wall, climb to the mountainside, and become an inner disciple!

In terms of both resources and treatment, they are far superior to outer disciples.

However, if one can break through to the Dou Shi level before the age of thirty, one can cross the second high wall, reach the summit of Yunlan Sect, and become a core disciple!

Every core disciple is a key figure cultivated by the Yunlan Sect. As long as one becomes a core disciple, one can choose one of the six Dou Wang elders to become their disciple, and their future is limitless!

Just two miles from the foot of Yunlan Mountain, there are 50,000 iron cavalrymen stationed here by the empire.

Although it is called guarding the capital, anyone can see that this is the empire's rulers guarding against this fierce tiger approaching the capital.

The summit of the back mountain of Yunlan Sect is shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland. Cultivation, comprehension, and absorption of battle qi here are much faster than in other places.

On a protruding black rock, a girl dressed in a moon-white robe is meditating with her eyes closed, practicing a wonderful breathing technique.

With each breath, she seemed to complete a cycle, drawing a wisp of cyan energy from the heavens and earth and inhaling it into her body.

The world contains all kinds of battle qi, but only the wisp that matches one's own attribute can be completely absorbed.

The efficiency of absorbing battle qi is directly linked to the corresponding cultivation technique.

The more profound and powerful the technique, the more battle qi it can absorb.

Some cultivation techniques, once mastered to a certain level, can even allow the body to automatically absorb the battle energy of heaven and earth, increasing one's cultivation level, even without further practice.

"Senior Sister, Elder Nalan Su has come to Yunlan Sect. He wants you to see him immediately."

Upon seeing the girl complete a cultivation cycle, another Yunlan Sect disciple beside her spoke anxiously.

Her cultivation and talent were far inferior to Nalan Yanran's, and she was not even qualified to enter the sect's peak.

However, because of Nalan Yanran's special status, the sect deliberately arranged for several female disciples to serve as maids to take care of her daily life.

She was one of the people chosen by Nalan Yanran, and therefore qualified to step onto the mountain peak.

Nalan Yanran slowly opened her eyes and asked in confusion, "Father? What's he doing here at this time?"

"Senior sister, the old man looks very unwell; it's probably not a good thing."

Recalling Nalan Su's expression, the disciple couldn't help but tremble.

"Alright, alright, I understand. You can leave now."

In fact, Nalan Yanran had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on; her secret trip to Wutan City must have been exposed.

As for his own father, he was probably driven here by the old man.

In the spacious and bright hall, a middle-aged man with a slightly gloomy expression was holding a teacup.

His hand, resting on the table, tapped the surface impatiently.

"Father, what brings you to Yunlan Sect to see Yanran today?"

As soon as Nalan Yanran appeared, Nalan Su couldn't help but want to go berserk, but he had to suppress his impulse when he thought of the Yunlan Sect members who were also there.

"You unfilial daughter, you still remember I am your father? I only led troops to the western part of the empire for a year, and you've already caused me such a huge mess!"

Nalan Su's face was ashen; he had only heard about this from Nalan Jie after returning to his family.

If the old man hadn't been unwell, he probably would have dragged his frail body to find Nalan Yanran in person.

"She just secretly left the sect for a trip to Wutan City. Is it really necessary to make such a fuss? Besides, Father, you haven't seen Yanran for over a year, and you come up here acting like you're accusing her. Even if Yanran respects Father, if Mother finds out, she will definitely scold Father."

Nalan Yanran gave a soft snort and turned her head away from Nalan Su.

"You dare let your mother know? If you go back, your grandfather will be the first to break your legs!"

"You've really grown quite capable over the years. Do you think that now that you're the pride of the Yunlan Sect, you can ignore me, your father, and the entire Nalan family?"

At this point, Nalan Su slammed his teacup heavily on the table, splashing tea all over it. The Yunlan Sect disciple next to him quickly cleaned up the teacup and table, and replaced it with a fresh cup.

"Yes, I did go to Wutan City, but so what? It didn't cause any serious consequences. Are you suggesting that Father and Grandfather should severely punish Yanran for such a trivial matter?"

Nalan Yanran was still a young girl after all, and she still felt resentful when her father scolded her without explanation.

"You dare say it didn't cause any serious consequences? You killed Xiao Yan of the Xiao family in Wutan City, and you say that's not a serious consequence?!"

Nalan Su was furious. How could his daughter be so foolish?

She didn't want to marry Xiao Yan, nor did she need to resort to such extreme methods, killing him in a deadly battle.

This not only caused the Nalan family to lose a son-in-law with unlimited potential, but also burdened her with the infamy of murdering her husband and relatives.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Nalan family's reputation!

Upon hearing Nalan Su's words, Nalan Yanran looked completely bewildered: "Father, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly kill Xiao Yan?"

The opponent was a six-star Grand Master who defeated him in one move. When he left, the opponent was perfectly fine. How could he have died from severe injuries?

"You still dare to deny it? The whole of Wutan City is buzzing with rumors that you refused to marry Xiao Yan, challenged him to a fight to the death, severely injured him, and ultimately died from your injuries!"

The Mittel Chamber of Commerce informed the Nalan family of this matter in advance; if the family hadn't controlled the spread of the rumors...

The rumors of Nalan Yanran murdering her husband and relatives have probably already spread throughout the Yunlan Sect and the capital of the empire.

"What is all this nonsense? Xiao Yan was alive and well when I left, how could I have killed him?"

"Xiao Yan is already a six-star Dou Shi, and he defeated my daughter in one move. How could I possibly kill Xiao Yan?"

Nalan Yanran pouted, looking aggrieved.

"You're saying Xiao Yan is already a six-star Dou Shi?"

If this is true, then this son-in-law of the Nalan family is even more extraordinary than the rumors suggest.

"What I said is absolutely true. My daughter did consider asking Xiao Yan to annul the engagement. However, my daughter planned to defeat Xiao Yan in a fight to make him back down. But as soon as we started fighting, my daughter was defeated, and the matter of annuling the engagement was dropped. If you don't believe me, Father, you can ask Elder Ge, who is traveling with me, to come and confront me."

As for some more detailed aspects, Nalan Yanran did not elaborate.

After hearing Nalan Yanran's account of what happened, Nalan Su's anger dissipated considerably.

Nalan Su nodded. He still believed Nalan Yanran's words more than the rumors circulating outside.

"If that's truly the case, then I apologize to you. I misunderstood you. I will go back and explain the situation to your grandfather, and at the same time, further suppress the rumors. Whoever dares to slander the Nalan family will pay the price!"

At this moment, Nalan Yanran clenched her fists. If she found out who made her take the blame, she would definitely kill them!
