Chapter 334: Perfect Landing! Too Bad It Landed on Dog Shit
"Hold on!"
As soon as this voice sounded, it immediately drew the attention of everyone around. The crowd turned to look, only to find that the one calling out to Xiao Yan was none other than Yunlan Sect's Grand Elder, Yun Suo, a Dou Wang!
While everyone was still unsure of what Yun Suo intended to do, they saw him coldly speak to Xiao Yan, whose expression had slightly tightened: "Xiao Yan! The bet between you and Nalan Yanran has been completed, but there's one thing you haven't made clear!"
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow at this, glancing over at Yun Suo with some impatience. "What do you mean?"
"A few months ago, my Yunlan Sect Elder Mo Cheng, you killed him!"
"Killing a Yunlan Sect Elder, and you think you can leave unscathed?!"
Inside the Yunlan Great Hall, Yun Yun and the others narrowed their eyes, looking strangely at Yun Suo, who had suddenly begun to shout outside, causing all kinds of thoughts to stir in their minds.
"Senior, it seems there's a bad apple among your sect's crowd," Jiang Lin's eyes flickered with fluctuating red-golden light as he smiled at Yun Shan.
Yun Shan remained silent, staring at Yun Suo, then turning to Xiao Yan, his face briefly showing signs of thought, as if he was calculating something.
"That green flame you have is the same one shown by the mysterious person in Salt City! And you also displayed a white flame at the Alchemist Conference before! So, you must be the mysterious person who killed Mo Cheng!" Yun Suo spoke in a sharp tone, sounding as if he was trying to quickly "solve the case" like a detective.
However…
"Is this Yun Suo out of his mind? The mysterious person back then was a Dou Huang. Not to mention, Xiao Yan's current cultivation is only at the level of a Great Dou Shi. Even if Xiao Yan were that mysterious person, why would he risk offending a Dou Huang-backed Xiao Yan using an outlying Dou Ling Elder?" Jia Xing Tian and the others frowned, instinctively looking over at Hai Bodong, who was also frowning deeply.
Mo Cheng's death was actually something that everyone tacitly understood. Many people attended Mo Cheng's birthday banquet, so the outside world knew how he died. The mysterious Dou Huang who killed Mo Cheng didn't do so because of his ties to Yunlan Sect, but because Mo Cheng had captured someone the mysterious Dou Huang cared about!
In other words, the mysterious Dou Huang who killed Mo Cheng wasn't necessarily making an enemy of Yunlan Sect, as long as everyone silently agreed not to speak of it. In this way, Yunlan Sect wouldn't have suddenly gained a new enemy from the Dou Huang level.
"However, Yun Suo's judgment isn't entirely wrong. Even if Xiao Yan isn't that mysterious Dou Huang, he still has at least one Dou Huang backing him. No, wait, it's probably two—Old Hai and Xiao Yan seem to be quite close. They must be in the same group," Fa Ma, sitting in a tree, glanced at the complex-faced Gu He beside him, shaking his head helplessly.
"Don't look at that. The Qing Lotus Earth Core Fire doesn't have anyone's name on it. Maybe you were just one step short of grabbing it, and perhaps you're simply not destined for it. And that Xiao Yan, for some reason, got tied to the Refiner's Guild. The other guilds aren't like ours—they consider the Qing Lotus Earth Core Fire as the Refiner's Guild's property. Xiao Yan is the seed of the Refiner's Guild. If you want to take it back, it's probably not a good idea to take that risk."
"Who knows what Yun Suo is thinking. He probably wants to push Xiao Yan into a confrontation with Yunlan Sect, making an enemy of a Dou Huang or even two. Jiang Lin's little master is here as well... I think Yun Suo's brain has been kicked by a donkey today," Fa Ma was frantically complaining to Gu He. Yun Suo was acting like a fool, doing things that everyone knew were ill-advised, but no one dared to speak up.
"...Heh, it's probably because Yun Suo has been used to being on top for too long and hasn't been aware of the new situation in the Gama Empire. This should be interesting to watch, but where is Jiang Lin's little master? Has he been caught?" Hai Bodong, sitting on the tree, watched Yun Suo challenging Xiao Yan with a bit of schadenfreude. He found his investments to be quite correct. If Jiang Lin wasn't involved, Hai Bodong thought he might have to get his hands dirty. But now, as for dealing with Xiao Yan...?
"Ask those serious-looking Refiner's Guild members first if they'd approve."
"So, what do you want to do?" In the center of the square, Xiao Yan looked up at the Dou Wang elder from Yunlan Great Hall. What kind of confidence did this old man have to dare provoke him?
Everyone could make a big issue small, and small things could be forgotten. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to just move on without affecting each other? Why make a big deal out of it, showing off Yunlan Sect's authority?
But for some reason, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a vague sense of crisis. It wasn't because of Yun Suo or Yunlan Sect—Xiao Yan knew how terrifying his current background was, and if Yunlan Sect dared to touch him, they'd be asking for trouble. It was more about why Yun Suo was acting this way that made Xiao Yan feel uneasy.
"Of course, I ask that you stay in Yunlan Sect for now! Wait for the investigation results!" Yun Suo sneered, looking down at Xiao Yan condescendingly.
Xiao Yan, hearing this, couldn't help but laugh coldly as if he had heard the biggest joke. He raised his head and smiled, saying, "The Yunlan Sect Master hasn't spoken yet, so why is this dog of Yunlan Sect still barking endlessly?"
"Who are you calling a dog?!" Yun Suo immediately flew into a rage. In Yunlan Sect, he was always second only to the Sect Master. How had he ever been humiliated like this?!
Xiao Yan snorted coldly, looking up at Yun Suo, whose wings had turned into Dou Qi, flying in the air. With a grin, he said, "Whoever is angry is the dog!"
"Impudent!"
Yun Suo's anger surged, and his Dou Qi wings flapped. A terrifying Dou Wang-level pressure instantly pressed down on Xiao Yan as he transformed into a blur, gathering Dou Qi in his hand, then slamming a giant Dou Qi palm directly toward Xiao Yan!
Cloud-piercing Palm!
"Today, I'll teach you some manners for your sharp tongue!"
"Just you?" Xiao Yan's heart tightened slightly, but before Yun Suo's palm attack could hit, he quickly raised the Strange Fire Heavy Ruler in front of him, and with a loud thud, Yun Suo's palm hit the indestructible weapon. The powerful force sent Xiao Yan flying back dozens of meters!
Yun Suo's sudden attack stunned everyone present for a moment. By the time they reacted, Yun Suo was preparing to launch his second attack!
"Stop!"
"Old dog, what are you doing?!"
"Impudent!"
As Yun Suo was about to strike again, several angry shouts erupted from around the square!
But one afterimage moved faster than all of them, falling from the sky with an explosive force!
Boom!
"Sorry, the wind blew me off course on my descent. I've just landed."
A red-golden figure fell from the sky, perfectly stepping on the back of the Dou Wang elder, directly slamming him onto the ground!
"Perfect landing! Too bad I stepped on dog shit... What bad luck."
