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

230: Section 230Yun Ziyi and Yun Yan stood to the side, watching the tragic scene before them, their brows furrowed tightly.

Although they were not human and perhaps did not have strong emotional fluctuations regarding the loss of life, the negative aura brought about by this betrayal, killing, and destruction still made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

”Senior Brother. Senior Brother!!”

Xiao Yan suddenly raised her head, tears mixed with blood streaks sliding down her pale cheeks. Those eyes, originally clear, were now stained blood-red by endless hatred, like a wounded and enraged female beast!

”Revenge! I want revenge!!”

Yun Xiancheng reached out and tightly grasped her cold, trembling hand, his gaze firm and his tone grim: ”Let’s go!”

”Senior Brother will take you... to kill!”

The Sand Mercenary Group encampment.

At this moment, the place was brightly lit, with cups intertwining and noise shaking the heavens.

This mercenary group, which originally could only be considered second-rate in Motie City, was currently immersed in immense joy and revelry, fervently celebrating that they had finally ”unified” the entire Motie City!

Especially after completely resolving that toughest nut to crack—the Mo Tie Mercenary Group—it meant that from now on, in this city, their Sand Mercenary Group would have no more rivals! They could do whatever they wanted!

”Hahaha! Many thanks to you two little brothers for your great help! If not for your intervention, those two stubborn brothers of the Xiao Family would have been truly difficult to deal with! Today, they have finally been executed! Come, come! I toast you both!”

The red-faced, chubby leader of the Sand Mercenary Group was raising his wine cup, smiling obsequiously at two young men sitting in the guest seats who looked no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight but possessed an arrogant air, thanking them repeatedly.

”Hmph, a mere trifle, not worth mentioning.” One of the young men picked up his wine cup but did not drink, only saying indifferently, ”The family has orders, and we naturally comply. Leader, no need for formalities. The two of us brothers staying here is only to... wait for that half-blood Snake-Person girl with the special bloodline to return.”

These two young men were both at the level of a five or six-star Great Dou Master, which could be considered top-tier experts in Motie City.

”Boom!!!” Just at this moment!

A deafening, massive explosion rang out without warning.

Immediately following, a violent wave of air, carrying smoke and dust, swept in like a raging dragon, instantly turning the originally lively and noisy celebration banquet into a mess! Tables and chairs flew, cups and plates shattered, and screams erupted everywhere!

”Which blind dog! Daring to ruin my good time?!”

The leader of the Sand Mercenary Group was furious, standing up abruptly from his seat, straining his throat to curse! However, his words were cut short before he could even finish shouting!

He only felt a chill at his throat, as if something extremely sharp had instantly slashed across it; all sound was stuck in his throat and could no longer be emitted! Immediately after, he saw an extremely eerie sight—

He saw... his own headless body, which was still maintaining a standing posture, sitting in its original position.

The body is there... then... how am I seeing this scene right now?

”Dou... Dou Master!!!”

The surrounding mercenaries who had luckily survived finally saw the appearance of the newcomers!

In mid-air, a young man in white, his face as calm as water and his eyes as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice, was slowly spreading a pair of iridescent cloud wings, his long sword still retaining a faint trace of cyan sword energy!

And beside him was an exquisitely beautiful young girl with purple wings, blood-red eyes, and a body radiating violent killing intent, like an Asura that had crawled out of hell!

With just a seemingly casual sweep of cyan sword energy!

Their leader, whose strength had reached Great Dou Master and who usually acted tyrannically, had already... lost his head! Even... without the slightest bit of resistance!

This... what kind of terrifying gap in strength is this?! It must be a Dou Master who has come to kill!

At the same time, two other figures also radiating terrifying auras appeared like ghosts around the encampment, their surging Dou Qi instantly erupting to form a massive energy barrier, completely sealing off the entire Sand Mercenary Group encampment!

Obviously, they had made up their minds to wipe out everyone here... kill them all! Leave no one behind!

”Hmph, a bunch of ant-like dogs, daring to... ruin my mood.”

Yun Xiancheng’s cold gaze, as if looking at dead objects, glanced at the decapitated leader of the Sand Mercenary Group, then landed on the two Mo Family young men who were already pale with fright and trembling like chaff.

”From the Mo Family?”

One of the two young men had his pupils dilate slightly, obviously frightened, but he was quite shrewd and said, ”No!”

Yun Xiancheng was asking questions while already holding the answer, so why would he care how they replied? He couldn’t be bothered to look at these two ants again.

He turned his head and looked tenderly at Xiao Yan beside him, whose eyes were blood-red and who was radiating monstrous killing intent. His voice was soft but decisive: ”Yaner, do it.” ”Finish them.”

”After killing them, Senior Brother... will take you to kill even more people.”

”Roar—!!!”

A roar, suppressed to the extreme and resembling that of a wounded beast, erupted from Xiao Yan’s mouth!

She tightly gripped the huge xuan heavy ruler in her hand, which was extremely disproportionate to her petite body, and the Dou Qi within her body circulated frantically!

Cyan flames, as if possessing life, instantly surged and spread from the body of the ruler! That was the terrifying high temperature belonging to the Green Lotus Core Flame, capable of burning everything to ashes!

The next moment, her petite body leaped up violently, the xuan heavy ruler in her hand raised high above her head, carrying a heaven-destroying, earth-shattering power as she slashed down fiercely! Di-rank Dou Technique—Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler!

Before the ruler reached, the terrifying high temperature and violent energy fluctuations had already caused the air to distort!

”No—!!!”

Those two Mo Family young men let out terrified screams! They desperately urged all the Dou Qi in their bodies, attempting to condense a defensive barrier to make a final resistance!

However, everything was in vain!

Before a Di-rank Dou Technique containing the power of a Heavenly Flame, mere Great Dou Master-level defenses were as fragile as paper!

”Boom—!!!”

The huge xuan heavy ruler fell without suspense, just like swatting a fly!

Accompanied by a dull, loud noise, those two Mo Family young men, along with the ground beneath their feet, were directly cleaved into two halves by this violent strike!

The incomparably tyrannical flames of the Green Lotus Core Flame, like maggots on a bone, instantly covered their broken bodies!

The shrill screams lasted less than a second before coming to an abrupt end!

Almost in the blink of an eye, those two living lives were turned into two handfuls of flying ash under the burning of the cyan flames, drifting away with the wind as if they had never existed.

”It’s your turn now.”

Yun Xiancheng’s cold gaze slowly swept across the remaining members of the Sand Mercenary Group who were already scared out of their wits and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. The long sword in his hand floated up silently, cold light flowing on the blade, radiating intense killing intent.

Regarding slaughter, neither Yun Xiancheng nor Xiao Yan, who had just personally ground her enemies into dust, had the slightest psychological burden.

Back in the tragic war between the Snake-People Clan and the Meteorite Empire, they had already grown accustomed to mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the lives they had personally ended were countless. At this moment, facing these accomplices who indirectly caused the tragic death of the Xiao Family brothers, in their hearts, there was only cold killing intent!

The next moment, brilliant cyan sword light and violent cyan Heavenly Flame, like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, intertwined and flashed within this encampment that had already been stained red with blood!

Where the sword light passed, heads rolled! Where the Heavenly Flame reached, wails filled the fields!

Pleas for mercy, screams, cries... rose and fell, but were quickly extinguished.

Not long after, this encampment, which had just been full of revelry and noise, became completely silent. Nothing remained but... corpses everywhere, and... the thick, inseparable stench of blood.

Yun Xiancheng flicked his wrist lightly, and his long sword emitted a clear, resonant chime.

Upon the blade, the few drops of blood stained on it seemed to possess a life of their own, floating up into the air before slowly dripping down like crimson raindrops, merging into the ground beneath his feet that had long since been stained a dark red.

His gaze swept across the scene before him, which resembled an Asura hell, with calm and cold indifference, without the slightest ripple of emotion.

Killing, to him, had long since become as mundane and commonplace as chopping melons and vegetables.

”Blood debts must eventually be repaid… in blood.” He said indifferently, his voice devoid of any emotion.

Beside him, Xiao Yan’s face looked somewhat pale due to excessive consumption of Dou Qi, but those blood-red eyes were still burning with a raging fire of vengeance.

She looked at Yun Xiancheng and asked in a hoarse voice, ”Senior Brother, that Mo Family… what exactly is their background?”

”Just a second-rate family in the Northeast Province of the Jia Ma Empire.” Yun Xiancheng explained in a flat tone, ”There seem to be a few Dou Ling elders holding the fort in their clan, so they can be considered to have some influence locally.”

”These two young men are direct descendants of the Mo Family. Clearly, it was the Mo Family that secretly funded and instigated the Sand Mercenary Group to annex the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, ultimately leading to the tragedy of your eldest and second brothers.”

Yun Xiancheng sighed inwardly. In this world, he had clearly already taken Qing Lin by his side, altering the fate line where she would have been coveted by the Mo Family, yet he hadn’t expected that this Mo Family would still extend their dark hands toward the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, ultimately leading to the deaths of Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. Perhaps… this was the so-called plot inertia?

Or perhaps… this Mo Family was never anything good, and had long coveted the interests of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group? Regardless, such a family that dared to provoke him and caused the deaths of his nominal ”eldest brother” and ”second brother”… they truly deserved to die. They should be wiped out!

A mere family with only a Dou Ling holding the fort… they could be annihilated with a flick of a finger!

”Understood.” After listening to Yun Xiancheng’s explanation, the killing intent in Xiao Yan’s eyes grew even more intense. She nodded, her voice cold and firm, ”Senior Brother, please take me to kill them!”

In a corner not far away, Qing Lin clung tightly to Yun Ziyi’s side, her small body still trembling slightly, evidently not yet fully recovered from the immense grief.

Little Lioness Yun Yan extended her small hand, gently patting her back and comforting her in a soft voice.

”Let’s go.” Yun Ziyi glanced at the murderous Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan, then looked at the two little girls beside her, and said indifferently, ”We are going to watch them kill.”

161 Reunited with Yan Ran

The drizzling rain, like fine silver needles, fell silently, spreading a hazy poetic atmosphere over the ancient stone bridge in Yan City.

Not far from the bridgehead, Yun Ziyi held a simple and elegant oil-paper umbrella, carefully shielding the two petite figures of Little Lioness Yun Yan and Qing Lin under the umbrella, isolating them from the chilly dampness.

She raised her head, her beautiful purple eyes piercing through the misty rain curtain, looking at the two figures walking side by side in the rain—Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan.

”Senior Brother.” Xiao Yan’s voice, set against the sound of the rain, sounded somewhat low and hoarse.

”This Mo Family, it is said, relied on clinging to the prestige of our Cloud Mist Sect to act so tyrannically in Yan City and develop into what they are today.”

She paused, her tone carrying a trace of uncertainty and inquiry: ”Since we are the Young Sect Leaders of the Cloud Mist Sect… then does coming here this time count as cleaning up the sect’s reputation and acting on behalf of heaven?”

”Hmm, if viewed strictly from a procedural and nominal standpoint… indeed it is.” Yun Xiancheng walked in the rain, letting the cold rainwater slide across his cheeks, his voice calm and rippleless.

”If I were to visit as the Young Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, the Mo Family Head, Mo Cheng, would certainly come out to welcome me with the most respectful attitude. Similarly, if you, or Yan Ran were to go as the Young Sect Leader, he would show the same performance, do you believe me?”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion: ”Since that’s the case… then why did they… why did they lay such cruel hands on my eldest and second brothers? Could it be… that they didn’t know Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were my brothers?”

”Heh.” Yun Xiancheng chuckled lightly, but his smile carried not a trace of warmth: ”In a moment, you will understand.”

He extended his hand and gently ruffled the young girl’s hair that had been dampened by the rain and stuck to her cheeks, his tone carrying a trace of profound meaning: ”In the face of naked interests, everything else is pale and powerless.”

Mo Cheng wanted to become stronger, but his own talent was insufficient, so he could only resort to underhanded methods. His behavioral logic was very simple. To become stronger, he would stop at nothing… It was just that he had Qing Lin with him, which prevented him from succeeding.

The rain filling the sky fell like a beaded curtain, enveloping the entire Yan City in a hazy mist. However, for Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan walking in the rain, there seemed to be an invisible barrier on their bodies, isolating all the rainwater, leaving their clothes as dry as before.

The current Yan City, unlike the deathly silence of Mo Tie City, was instead filled with an strange liveliness. This was because today was the seventieth birthday of the Yan City Lord and Mo Family Head—Old Master Mo, Mo Cheng.

This Old Master Mo was usually known in Yan City for being ”charitable,” and had indeed once provided quite a bit of money to build some public facilities for Yan City, accumulating quite a good reputation among the local commoners.

Therefore, his birthday banquet was naturally filled with guests and high-ranking friends. Almost all the prominent figures in the city had arrived to offer their congratulations, and the scene was quite grand, truly worthy of being described as ”scholars conversing, with no commoners among them.”

Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan were walking side by side by the bridge, about to head to the Mo Residence, when they saw a graceful figure in the misty rain, holding an oil-paper umbrella painted with elegant orchids, slowly walking towards them from the other end of the bridge.

Raindrops rolled down the edge of the umbrella, splashing small ripples on the bluestone pavement. It was a young girl dressed in a moon-white long dress, with a dignified and elegant temperament, and a stunningly beautiful and clear appearance.

”Senior Brother? Junior Sister? What a coincidence, you have come to Yan City too?” Nalan Yanran saw the two familiar figures, and in her cold, beautiful eyes, a flash of undisguisable surprise and joy instantly bloomed.

Not having seen them for over a year, seeing the Senior Brother and Junior Sister she had been thinking about again, her heart was like a calm lake into which a stone had been thrown, causing ripples to spread.

”Hmm, Yan Ran, long time no see. You have come too.” Yun Xiancheng stopped his steps and nodded lightly at her in the rain, as a greeting.

Nalan Yanran was clever, and almost immediately detected that something was wrong with the expressions of Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan—it was not the joy of a long-awaited reunion, but rather carried a heavy, oppressive… murderous aura.

The smile on her face slightly faded, and she asked with concern: ”Senior Brother, Junior Sister, has… something happened?”

”Yan’er’s two brothers were murdered.” Yun Xiancheng did not hide it, stating a cruel fact in a flat tone: ”We have come here for revenge.”

Nalan Yanran was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

Having grown up in the Cloud Mist Sect since she was young, and being pampered by her master Yun Yun and Senior Brother Yun Xiancheng, she had almost never experienced such cruel partings of life and death, nor could she fully comprehend the monstrous hatred in Xiao Yan’s heart at this moment.

However, looking at Xiao Yan’s bloodshot eyes, which resembled those of a wounded beast, and looking at the cold killing intent surging beneath her Senior Brother’s calm exterior… that joy of reunion also seemed to be infected by this heavy atmosphere, gradually cooling down and turning into a trace of faint sorrow.

She silently tightened her grip on the long sword at her waist, which symbolized her status as a direct disciple of the Cloud Mist Sect, lowered her head, and walked to the side of Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan. Although her voice was soft, it carried determination: ”I will help you.”

Inside the Mo Residence, lanterns were lit and decorations were hung, the hall was full of guests, presenting a scene of celebration and harmony.

However, when the announcement ”The Young Sect Leaders of the Cloud Mist Sect, Yun Xiancheng, Nalan Yanran, and Xiao Yan have arrived” came from outside the residence gate, the atmosphere of the entire Mo Residence changed instantly!

”What?! The three Young Sect Leaders of the Cloud Mist Sect… actually… actually arrived in person?!”
