I'm in Battle Through the Heavens, and I have a control panel.

Chapter 27 Scared Away

Xiao Zheng was surprised to sense the fluctuations in Nalan Yanran's fighting spirit.

One-star Dou Shi?

If I remember correctly, this girl was only a three-star Dou Zhe more than eight months ago, right?

Only a few months have passed, and she has already broken through to such a level. The Yunlan Sect truly has a profound foundation.

Despite his surprise, Xiao Zheng remained completely calm.

With a flick of his wrist, he instantly activated the low-level Xuan-rank combat skill, Absorb Palm, unleashing a powerful suction force that pulled the ice crystal snow lotus from the snow into his hand, which he then casually tossed into his storage ring.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Zheng unleashed his aura.

Nalan Yanran's gaze sharpened: "You're actually a two-star Dou Shi?"

She never expected that this seemingly ordinary young man would have a higher cultivation level than her.

Deacon Ge misjudged...

However, after the initial shock, Nalan Yanran showed no fear when facing Xiao Zheng.

Her eyes flashed with even more killing intent: "So what if I'm a two-star Dou Shi?"

"I am the personal disciple of the Yunlan Sect Master. Even if your cultivation level is slightly higher, you are no match for me."

Nalan Yanran stomped her foot on the ground and pounced on Xiao Zheng like a ghost.

Without wasting words, Xiao Zheng launched a suction palm attack on Nalan Yanran, the powerful suction force enveloping her.

He had already mastered this palm technique to its peak, and it was always effective against opponents of lower skill levels.

But this time, he miscalculated.

Nalan Yanran was only pulled forward half a step before she broke free from the grasping palm's restraints.

"Um?!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

I never expected Nalan Yanran to be so powerful!

The only fighting technique he currently possesses is the Absorption Palm. If this move is ineffective against Nalan Yanran, then today's situation will become very troublesome.

In a moment of desperation, Xiao Zheng had a sudden inspiration. He reached into his storage ring with his right hand and instantly pulled out three small jade bottles, which he held between his fingers.

These three small jade bottles consist of two bottles of demon-attracting powder and one empty bottle.

He planned to use the Demon-Attracting Powder to scare away Nalan Yanran.

However, the Demon-Attracting Powder is a poison that kills a thousand enemies but also harms eight hundred of your own.

If it cannot be sprinkled on Nalan Yanran, it may affect him and Little Fairy Doctor.

Xiao Zheng had already used this trick to trick Ge Ye, so Nalan Yanran would definitely be on guard and wouldn't fall for it easily.

So Xiao Zheng will break an empty bottle first to see if he can scare Nalan Yanran away.

Xiao Zheng shouted at Nalan Yanran, "Look what this is?!"

Nalan Yanran's expression changed drastically upon seeing the small jade bottle, and she abruptly stopped in her tracks: "Demonic Powder? You still have it?"

Xiao Zheng said calmly, "I was just afraid of encountering a situation like today, so I prepared some extra for self-defense."

"Nalan Yanran, in terms of martial prowess, I may not be your match today, but I have the ability to take you down with me!"

"If you continue to be so unreasonable, believe me, I'll detonate all three bottles of demon-attracting powder and lure all the magical beasts within a radius of hundreds of miles here!!"

A hint of fear flashed across Nalan Yanran's brows.

She had already witnessed the power of the Demon-Attracting Powder firsthand; one bottle could summon the Amethyst Winged Lion King. If it were three bottles… she couldn’t even imagine what it would attract!

Nalan Yanran's expression remained uncertain for a long time before she finally decided to retreat.

In her opinion, it would be unwise to put herself in a fatal crisis for a mere few hundred thousand gold coins worth of Ice Crystal Snow Lotus!

"You win!"

Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth and glared at Xiao Zheng, "I will remember this humiliation."

"If we meet again someday, I will not let you off easily!"

After uttering those harsh words, she turned and left without hesitation, quickly disappearing from Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor's sight.

Xiao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to deal with Nalan Yanran.

Little Fairy Doctor released Xiao Zheng and asked curiously, "By the way, Brother Xiao Zheng, you seem to know that woman?"

Xiao Zheng used Tianwen to observe the direction Nalan Yanran had left, but he did not find her again.

Nalan Yanran has probably really left.

However, just in case, he still had to leave this place quickly, so he turned around and grabbed Little Fairy Doctor: "This place is not safe to stay for long."

"Let's leave first, and then I'll tell you slowly."

Little Fairy Doctor naturally had no objections: "Okay!"

Half an hour later.

Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor had already traveled more than ten miles.

Xiao Zheng felt that he was safe now, so he stopped to rest.

He told Little Fairy Doctor everything about the feud between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran.

Finally, Xiao Zheng added viciously, "Originally, I didn't want to get involved in this, but now that I've made an enemy of Nalan Yanran..."

"Two years from now, I'll definitely be going to the Yunlan Sect to join in the fun during Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran's final battle!"

Little Fairy Doctor exclaimed in surprise, "So Brother Xiao Zheng really is a member of the Xiao family from Wutan City? I thought you were just making this up when you impersonated Xiao Yan."

She paused for a moment, then commented on the matter between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran.

Little Fairy Doctor said, "I think Nalan Yanran is right to fight for her right to happiness."

"But her methods were completely wrong!"

"She could have talked to Xiao Yan privately; there was no need to publicly annul the engagement and humiliate Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan."

Xiao Zheng snorted, "This is the way Yunlan Sect acts. They rely on their power and look down on everyone else."

Just then, snowflakes began to fall again, and it was a moderate snowfall right away.

Xiao Zheng looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting dark, so he guessed that the snow would continue to fall heavily.

He then said to Little Fairy Doctor, "Let's continue on our way. We need to find shelter from the snow as soon as possible."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded.

The two then set off again.

Suddenly, Little Fairy Doctor lost her footing, let out a cry of surprise, and her body plummeted downwards.

"Be careful!"

Xiao Zheng reacted quickly and grabbed Little Fairy Doctor's wrist.

However, the edge of the cave below was covered with snow and was extremely slippery, making him lose his balance. He was pulled into the cave by the weight of Little Fairy Doctor's body.

As they fell, Xiao Zheng instinctively grabbed Little Fairy Doctor's waist, forcefully flipped over in mid-air, and shielded Little Fairy Doctor in front of him, using himself as a human cushion.

The hole is of unknown depth. If Little Fairy Doctor were to fall directly into it, she would probably be smashed to pieces.

Huhu——

The wind howled in their ears as they plummeted downwards. A full ten seconds passed before they crashed heavily to the ground with a loud thud.

Xiao Zheng's back slammed hard against the ground, and he felt his blood rush to his head. He turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"puff--"

He felt dizzy and lightheaded, and soon collapsed to the ground, unable to move, looking as if he were dead.

"Brother Xiao Zheng!"

Little Fairy Doctor lay unharmed on top of Xiao Zheng. Seeing him vomit blood and faint, her eyes immediately reddened: "Don't scare me!"

A short while later.

When Xiao Zheng regained consciousness and heard Little Fairy Doctor crying, he coughed a few times with difficulty and said, "Don't...don't cry, I won't die."

Little Fairy Doctor was overjoyed to see that Xiao Zheng was alright: "Brother Xiao Zheng!"

Xiao Zheng struggled to get up.

The Little Fairy Doctor quickly offered her assistance.

Xiao Zheng stood up and looked up.

The opening above looked like a tiny dot of light, hundreds of meters above the ground, making it impossible to climb back up the way we came.

Little Fairy Doctor said somewhat dejectedly, "This is troublesome; we're trapped here."

Xiao Zheng nodded slightly, looked around, and found that the underground world was quite large. He comforted Little Fairy Doctor, "Don't worry, this place is so big, we might find a way out if we look around."

After resting for a while, he felt his body return to normal, so he got up and began to explore the underground world with Little Fairy Doctor.

Although it is hundreds of meters underground, it is not dark, because there are some bioluminescent mosses growing all around.

The two supported each other and walked for about fifteen minutes until a large stone tablet, as tall as a person, appeared in front of them.

The stone tablet is covered with the marks of time, and three large characters are engraved on it in an ancient script.

Extreme Yin Sect!
