Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

184: Section 184The Great Elder felt goosebumps all over his body; this mysterious iron sword box was the exact same one Nalan Yanran had been holding several months ago during the Three-Year Agreement between Xiao Yan and Yun Xiancheng.

The powerful aura from that day was terrifying. Clearly, this was the foundation of the Young Sect Leader’s confidence. How could two Dou Ling compare to the power of a Dou Huang?

”We understand. The Xiao Family is willing to fully cooperate with the Young Sect Leader’s arrangements.” ”So, are we also going to engage in actual combat?”

Xiao Yan held a massive ruler in her hand, feeling its immense weight with a look of disbelief.

Could a weapon like this really be used for fighting? Medicine Lady gave a thumbs up:

”Your Senior Brother has secured a rare, safe combat experience for you, so you must cherish it.” ”Once you leave Wutan City in the future, adventuring will be much more dangerous.”

Over her pale purple Jia Nan Academy uniform, Xiao Yu wore a soft white fox fur cloak, which added a touch of nobility and elegance to her appearance.

While she focused on wiping the sword in her hand, she stole glances at Yun Xiancheng, who was surrounded by others like stars around the moon, looking as shy as a girl watching her lover.

At this moment, Xiao Mei and Nalan Yanran were like two little birds, leaning against Yun Xiancheng on his left and right, whispering softly and acting very intimate, filling the air with a sweet atmosphere.

Hmm? Something seemed wrong.

Xiao Yu seemed to have suddenly noticed something, her gaze sharpening slightly, and then she asked with some confusion: ”Mei’er, you have actually broken through to the Four-Star Dou Practitioner Realm? This... how is this possible?”

Only then did she notice that Xiao Mei, whom she hadn’t seen for days, had significantly stronger Dou Qi fluctuations within her body; she had quietly broken through to the Four-Star Dou Practitioner Realm.

This left her feeling very surprised. Subsequently, she keenly sensed that the strength of both Yun Xiancheng and Nalan Yanran also seemed to have improved to varying degrees, which left her even more shocked.

”Hee hee, this is all thanks to Senior Brother’s careful guidance. He sets aside time every day to personally guide me in my cultivation, which is why my progress is so fast!”

Xiao Mei gave a playful smile and explained in a lighthearted tone, not forgetting to steal a glance at Yun Xiancheng, her eyes filled with admiration and adoration.

This explanation immediately drew the attention of the other Young ladies present, who couldn’t help but cast their gazes toward Yun Xiancheng, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Even Medicine Lady, who had been hiding in the ring and silently observing the outside world, couldn’t help but be shocked by the astonishing progress speed of Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Mei.

This rate of progress was simply outrageous! Even if he took the medicinal pill I gave him, he shouldn’t be progressing this fast! How on earth did this brat do it?

”Hmm? What’s wrong?” Xiao Xun’er, who had been standing to the side quietly watching everything, furrowed her delicate brows slightly.

She took a lotus step, walked up to Yun Xiancheng, took the initiative to grab his wrist, and affectionately sent a wisp of spiritual energy into him, cautiously sensing the situation inside his body, her eyes filled with concern.

059 Teasing the Young Lady’s Guard

The Second Miss of the Gu Clan held Yun Xiancheng’s hand, her eyes conveying: ”Do not force a breakthrough with medicinal pills for everyone’s safety; it will affect your future cultivation.”

Feeling Xiao Xun’er’s concern, Yun Xiancheng felt a warmth in his heart and smiled: ”No, no, I won’t force growth.”

Afterward, he pulled Xiao Xun’er’s delicate body into his arms, letting her press tightly against him.

He slowly condensed his own spiritual energy and guided it to intertwine with the spiritual energy Xiao Xun’er had probed into his body, feeling that wondrous sensation.

”Ah! You... what are you doing?” Feeling the strange sensation brought about by the intertwining of the two types of spiritual energy, Xiao Xun’er immediately felt a wave of shyness.

Her delicate body softened, and she couldn’t help but collapse into Yun Xiancheng’s arms. A charming flush appeared on her already beautiful face, making her look indescribably radiant.

Yun Xiancheng had no intention of letting go; instead, he used his Dou Qi to slightly stimulate the Dou Qi inside Xiao Xun’er’s body.

The two flowed slowly through Xun’er’s meridians, leaving a trace of Yun Xiancheng within her.

Feeling Yun Xiancheng’s warm Dou Qi, Xiao Xun’er’s face became even more flushed, as if it were about to bleed. Her shy appearance made one want to step forward and kiss her.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the other Young ladies became interesting; they giggled as they watched the blushing Xiao Xun’er, their eyes filled with teasing and mockery.

They seemed long accustomed to such scenes and were not surprised; after all, it was just a hug, nothing big, and they were already used to it.

Xiao Yan couldn’t help but take a step forward, seemingly fantasizing that the person being held in Yun Xiancheng’s arms was herself; how happy that would be...

However, just as Yun Xiancheng was immersed in the gentle embrace, enjoying the company of the Young ladies, he suddenly keenly felt a gaze as cold as a blade, locking onto him like a physical presence, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

Is it Xun’er’s guard? This thought flashed through Yun Xiancheng’s mind, and his brows furrowed slightly. However, he didn’t feel afraid; instead, a playful smile curled the corners of his mouth, and a mischievous impulse surged in his heart.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiancheng not only didn’t restrain his behavior but became even bolder, groping Xiao Xun’er.

His hands moved like spirit snakes, wandering over her soft, delicate body, wantonly teasing her sensitive nerves.

”Mmm~ Don’t~” Xiao Xun’er said this with her mouth, but she couldn’t help but feel excited.

She knew very well that her personal guard, Yinger, must be watching her silently from the shadows at this moment.

She really wanted to know what kind of mood Yinger would be in when she saw her being so intimate, even somewhat uninhibited, with her little lover. Would her loyal little maid feel sad and heartbroken because of this?

Xiao Xun’er’s face was flushed pink, and she thought with a mischievous sense of humor, a sly smile curling the corners of her mouth.

She just worried that she might attack her little lover, she shouldn’t let her hurt him...

At this moment, Yinger, who had been hiding in the shadows, was kneeling weakly on the ground, her body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with pain and struggle.

She watched with her own eyes as this high and mighty Second Miss of the Gu Clan was wantonly molested by a barbarian from the countryside. Watching the Second Miss’s face flush slightly, looking affectionately at her little lover.

On that exquisite and beautiful face, her watery eyes were wide open, as if she were about to shed tears of blood, filled with despair.

As Xiao Xun’er’s most loyal Servant, she longed to rush up immediately and tear that bumpkin who dared to offend the Second Miss into ten thousand pieces to defend the Second Miss’s dignity.

However, as Xiao Xun’er’s most trusted guard, how could she stop the person she liked right in front of her? If she really did that, not only would it displease Xun’er, but she might even lose Xun’er’s trust, which was something she absolutely could not accept.

Thus, the situation became what it was now; she could only watch helplessly as Xiao Xun’er was wantonly molested by Yun Xiancheng, powerless to do anything.

Watching that pair of deeply affectionate and inseparable lovers, she felt like a pitiful victim being heartlessly toyed with by fate, her heart filled with sorrow and helplessness. Of course, Yinger was not a victim; she was just Xun’er’s Servant.

”Your Dou Qi is fine.” Xiao Xun’er sensed the state of the Dou Qi in Yun Xiancheng’s body; it was a normal foundation, and his roots had not been ruined by excessive forced growth.

On the contrary, his foundation could be considered very solid among his peers. This... After sensing this, Xiao Xun’er found it completely unbelievable.

Because this either meant that Yun Xiancheng had good resources, or it meant that Yun Xiancheng had repeatedly polished it himself.

If Yun Xiancheng were surnamed Gu and had awakened the imperial clan bloodline, this would be easy to explain, but if Xiao Xun’er remembered correctly, this was the Jia Ma Empire.

This was just an ordinary country in the Northwest Continent, lacking the resources of the Central Plains, let alone the ancient imperial clans. Could it be... Xiao Xun’er suddenly remembered something.

The reason they, as descendants of the imperial clans, could cultivate faster than ordinary people was because of the power of their ancient ancestors in their bloodline.

Then what about the original Dou Di ancestor of their bloodlines? The original Dou Di ancestor obviously couldn’t rely on a Dou Di Bloodline, yet they still managed to become a Dou Di. Clearly... a true Dou Di does not need a bloodline to become a Dou Di.

A guess flashed through Xiao Xun’er’s mind. Yun Xiancheng might possess the potential of a Dou Di.

The young lady buried her head into Yun Xiancheng’s chest, feeling extremely excited in her heart.

”If Xiancheng truly has the potential of a Dou Di, then Mother and Sister will surely agree, right?”

She imagined the scene of her little lover breaking through the final step, stepping on colorful clouds, and coming to the Gu Clan to propose to her...

Yun Xiancheng smiled slightly, reached out to cradle the back of Xiao Xun’er’s head, and ran his fingers through the young lady’s hair.

The foundation built by practicing with several people like this was undoubtedly more efficient than building a foundation by practicing alone.

At this moment, the system’s familiar notification sound arrived. 【Unlocked Side Quest: Ancient Guardian】

【The Gu Clan’s Second Miss, Gu Xuner, came to this remote place to play, so she naturally has a personal guard to protect her. Given the power levels here, only one Dou Huang was dispatched to accompany Xuner. This Dou Huang is not a direct descendant of the Gu Clan, but rather a descendant of a Servant clan, having grown up together with Xuner. She is a few years older, young and beautiful.】

Hmm, another difference between this world and the original world has appeared. It seems Xuner’s guard is also a young girl, and one who can be romanced.

Is this what a Young Miss is like? There’s even a buy-one-get-one-free aspect.

060 Fighting with the Young ladies.

Yinger felt a surge of hot blood rush to her head, her chest churning with turbulent qi and blood. Unable to suppress it any longer, she violently spat a mouthful of crimson blood onto the ground.

She gritted her silver teeth, her pearly whites lightly gnawing on her red lips, while her beautiful eyes were like frost, glaring fixedly at Yun Xiancheng’s handsome face. ”Madman!”

She whispered to herself, seemingly pondering whether to deal with Yun Xiancheng later. After all, she was a loyal Servant of the Gu Clan’s Second Miss; she knew the weight of things and had her own sense of judgment. Once tonight’s events were over, she still needed to advise the Second Miss and analyze the pros and cons!

A dignified daughter of the Gu Clan, a proud daughter of heaven, how could she be so intimate with this barbarian from the Northwest Continent? It truly was beneath her status!

”I must find an opportunity tonight to have a good talk with Yinger. Otherwise, given her unyielding personality, if she were to clash with my little lover and worsen the situation, it would not be worth the loss.”

Xiao Xun’er rose gracefully from Yun Xiancheng’s warm embrace. As soon as she landed, she immediately began to worry about this matter in her heart.

”No, tonight might be too late; long nights bring many dreams. I will find a gap later to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.” Xun’er’s gaze narrowed slightly, and her eyes became firm.

Her little lover was the man destined for her, Xiao Xun’er. She would absolutely not allow him to be offended by any Servant by her side; even the slightest harm was strictly forbidden!

”Our primary task for this night raid on the Jiale Family is to launch a surprise attack on that marketplace in the southeast corner of the city.” Yun Xiancheng said in a calm tone, speaking slowly:

”The Jiale Family certainly will not expect the Xiao Family to dare to strike first and launch a sudden counterattack. Therefore, the defenses at that marketplace surely won’t be too tight.”

”This surprise attack is intended to beat the grass to startle the snake, disrupt the enemy’s formation, and force their main force to gather in one place. Only then can we settle the outcome in one fell swoop and accomplish everything in a single battle.”

The plan was simple and to the point, aiming straight at the core. After all, when power is sufficient to crush everything, complex schemes appear redundant.

The key point of this battle was to find a way to lure the Dou Ling level mercenary leader and that Dou Ling level Alchemist to the same place.

Afterward, one only needed to bring out the mysterious iron sword box given by Yun Yun to instantly unleash thunderous power and annihilate them all. Even if the wish was not fulfilled and the enemy experts were not all gathered together, it would be of no consequence.

At that time, one would only need to trouble the loli master to possess him and personally pursue and kill the remaining soldiers, which would also ensure there was no possibility of failure.

At worst, afterward, he could let the loli master ”lick” his neck a few more times as a reward and compensation for her hard work.

”When the time comes, sisters, do not be soft-hearted. Womanly mercy is not allowed. You must know that they are all life-and-death enemies of our Xiao Family. You must cut weeds and eliminate the roots to avoid future trouble.”

Nalan Yanran said in a cold tone, warning them with a serious expression.

”This is a serious battle concerning the rise and fall of your Xiao Family. If you are even slightly careless, you are very likely to fall into danger, or even die on the spot. You must never take it lightly.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei also changed their expressions. The playful look they had originally vanished, replaced by solemnity and gravity; they dared not be even the slightest bit careless.

”We understand.”

”Since that is the case, there is no time to lose. Let’s move.”

Yun Xiancheng nodded to signal, said no more, and immediately took the lead, stepping forward to guide the Young ladies as they all sped toward the predetermined location.

Goose-feather-sized snowflakes danced across the sky, and the world was vast and white. The biting cold wind carried the snowflakes, like countless cold blades, ruthlessly cutting through the night sky of Wutan City.

It added a layer of frost to the impending bloody conflict.

This marketplace of the Jiale Family was quite large in scale, and could be called their most important industry in Wutan City. In the past, there was a considerable number of guards stationed here, responsible for maintaining the security and order of the marketplace.

Now, ever since reaching a cooperation agreement with the Giant Shark Mercenary Group, the defensive power of this marketplace was even greater than before, and could be described as impregnable.

At the entrance of the marketplace, lights were bright, voices were loud, and it was bustling and lively.

Several Dou Masters wearing the eye-catching badge of the Giant Shark Mercenary Group on their chests, as well as several Dou Masters dressed in the standard attire of the Jiale Family.

Dozens of Dou Practitioners and Dou Masters in various attire were chatting with arrogant expressions; their words were filled with undisguised arrogance and wildness.

”Brothers, once we completely wipe out that bunch of petty people from the Xiao Family, in the future, this Wutan City will be our brothers’ world! At that time, wealth and honor will be within reach, and beauties and fine wine will be everywhere!”

A Giant Shark mercenary with a sturdy build and thick aura shouted with a voice like a booming bell, full of heroic spirit, inciting the crowd of mercenaries. This was a One-Star Great Dou Master, the very person Yun Xiancheng had sensed earlier.

His tone was full of beautiful longing for the future, as well as full confidence in the impending victory.

Yun Xiancheng and his group moved like ghosts through the snow curtain, silently approaching the Jiale Family’s marketplace. Using the cover of the snow, they were like spirits merged with nature, their movements swift and silent, not alarming anyone.

”Let’s do it here.” Yun Xiancheng paused his steps slightly, raised his hand to signal the Young ladies behind him to stop, his gaze like a torch, locking onto the brightly lit marketplace entrance ahead from afar.

His tone was calm, yet carried a heart-palpitating sense of determination. There was no need for many words; the Young ladies had already understood.

Nalan Yanran raised her fair hand lightly, like a proud phoenix. Xiao Mei, in a peacock blue long dress, and Xiao Yan, dressed in black tight attire,

all nodded in tacit agreement. Their figures instantly turned into three swift phantoms, like arrows released from a bow, violently rushing toward the marketplace entrance. ”Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

The guards at the marketplace entrance were not incompetent. Almost at the same moment Xiao Mei and the other two moved, they had already keenly sensed the suddenly tense, murderous aura in the air.

The shrill warning sound instantly tore through the night sky, resounding throughout the entire marketplace, breaking the original false prosperity and noise. However, their warning was, after all, a step too late.

Xiao Mei’s movement technique was agile, like a butterfly flitting through flowers, dancing gracefully among the crowd. She had produced two sharp long swords in her hands before anyone knew it, the sword light like silk, cold rays shooting everywhere.

Each flash inevitably brought up a burst of scarlet blood and a painful wail.

Her figure was elusive, moving freely through the enemy crowd, specifically picking out low-star Dou Practitioners to ensure the battle would not last too long. After dual cultivation with Yun Xiancheng not long ago, she, who also possessed Wind-Attribute Dou Qi, had gained the effects of some medicinal pills.

Her strikes also carried the aura of wind and clouds. Although the cultivation technique she practiced was a bit inferior—just a wind-type technique collected by the Xiao Family—because she had gained a bit of a bonus from Yun Xiancheng,

she was invincible in the battle here.

061 Master and Servant

Xiao Mei’s figure was as elusive as a ghost, weaving under the curtain of snow.
