Chapter 135 Dou Zong Yun Shan, Seeking Marriage from Yun Yun

"it's all over."

Xiao Yan gazed at Nalan Yanran, who was being held in Yun Yun's arms, her bones broken and her breath faint. He was about to turn away when his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he looked towards the outside of the council hall, muttering to himself:

"I thought this old guy was planning to hide forever."

Buzz!

Before the deathly silence could spread through the hall, Nalan Yanran, in Yun Yun's arms, was still on the verge of fainting, her bones and skin cracking and her meridians throbbing with pain, when a powerful aura descended like a curtain from the sky.

The aura carried the chilling force of a storm and the heavy weight of cumulus clouds, instantly making the stagnant air thick and sticky, even making breathing difficult.

"Heh, what a fine 'three-year agreement,' what a fine 'not even qualified to make a move'!"

An aged voice boomed, like a great bell striking everyone's eardrums, and the bluestone paving stones beneath their feet emitted a faint hum.

"Young friend Xiao Yan, you've trespassed into my Yunlan Sect and caused the death of one of our juniors. Isn't that a bit too presumptuous?"

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure standing in the shadow of the beam.

The old man's beard and hair were all white as silver, yet his face was smooth and wrinkle-free. A faint blue aura of energy flowed between his eyes as he opened and closed. He seemed to be suspended in the void, yet he appeared to be one with the entire Yunlan Mountain, as if he could shake the heavens and earth with a mere gesture.

"Master—Master?!"

Yun Yun suddenly looked up, and when she saw who it was, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. Her hands unconsciously tightened around the frail Nalan Yanran in her arms.

Yun Leng straightened up abruptly, like a drowning person grabbing onto a piece of driftwood. His voice trembled, but he couldn't hide his ecstatic joy: "Greetings, Elder Sect Master!"

"Greetings, Elder Master!"

The roar of the Yunlan Sect disciples instantly swept through the council hall.

This person is none other than Yun Shan, the former sect leader of Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun's master, and the true powerhouse at the pinnacle of the Jia Ma Empire.

His stance, with his feet firmly planted in the void, silently proclaimed a fact that shook everyone to their core: he was a Dou Zong who had mastered the power of space!

Whether it was Yun Ling or the other disciples of the Yunlan Sect, the humiliation they had felt at being insulted by Xiao Yan had now turned into a triumphant feeling.

My Yunlan Sect also has a Fighting Sect!

Gu He looked up, but his eyes stung when his gaze fell on Yun Shan. He was secretly alarmed; this old man's strength was even more unfathomable than he had imagined.

Is this the Dou Zong?

"presumptuous?"

Faced with that overwhelming pressure, Xiao Yan suddenly smiled, a hint of nonchalant mockery in his eyes:

"Three years ago, when Nalan Yanran, with the airs of the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, came to our door to annul the engagement, trampling the reputation of my Xiao family into the mud, did the Yunlan Sect think she was being presumptuous?"

"Now that I've come to settle old scores as promised, it's become my fault?"

"Sharp-tongued and quick-witted."

Yun Shan gave him a cold, warning look, his gaze sweeping over Nalan Yanran curled up on the ground before settling back on Yun Yun. His brows furrowed deeply: "Yun'er, is this how you treat your guests? You can't even protect your own disciples. What kind of sect leader are you?"

"Master, about this matter..."

Yun Yun's heart tightened. As she lowered her head, the jade hairpin in her hair swayed gently, the sound as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"That's enough."

Yunshan waved her hand to interrupt her, then fixed her gaze on Xiao Yan again, her expression unreadable.

"Young friend Xiao Yan, considering your youthful impetuosity, I can let bygones be bygones today. You take your 'victory' and leave Yunlan Mountain, and from now on we're even. How about it?"

These words sound like a reconciliation, but in reality, every word carries an undeniable air of authority.

It was as if Xiao Yan's survival was already a great blessing. Yun Ling nodded secretly to himself. The old sect leader was indeed worthy of being called the old sect leader. His aura was much stronger than that of Yun Yun, who was biased towards outsiders!

Guhe frowned slightly.

Although he hadn't known Xiao Yan for long, he could see the arrogance in his little master's bones; he was definitely not someone who would easily bow down.

Beneath Yunshan's calm tone lay a palpable sense of impending doom.

Sure enough, Xiao Yan smiled.

The smile that appeared in everyone's eyes made their hearts skip a beat for no apparent reason.

"A clean break?" He looked up at Yunshan, then his gaze swept over Yunyun.

"Sect Master Yun, you must have misunderstood."

"Coming to Yunlan Sect today to settle my three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran is just a side matter." Xiao Yan took a step forward.

"I have another request, and I'd like to ask you for your permission."

Yunshan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh?"

Nalan Yanran was already in so much pain that she was almost delirious, but upon hearing this, she felt as if she had been doused with ice water and her eyes widened suddenly.

So... solving his own problems was just a side issue for him?

The humiliation of being publicly shamed again gripped her heart like a poisonous vine, making her wish she could bite her tongue off on the spot.

But Xiao Yan didn't look at her.

The next moment, under everyone's gaze, he met Yunshan's gaze and looked directly at Yunyun.

The girl's pretty face had turned pale from the previous confrontation, and now she looked even more helpless. Stray hairs clung to her sweaty cheeks, making her appear somewhat fragile.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his voice clear and firm, like a heavy hammer striking a bronze bell, echoing throughout the entire council hall:

"I have come to the Yunlan Sect to propose marriage and marry Sect Master Yunyun."

boom!

The moment the words left his mouth, the air in the council chamber seemed to freeze instantly, then exploded open again.

Everyone who thought a fight was about to break out was now frozen in place, staring at Xiao Yan in disbelief, forgetting even to breathe.

What kind of development is this?

Is he proposing to Yunyun?

This young man, who had just driven the young sect leader to the point of breaking his bones and spitting blood, actually wants to marry their sect leader.

Yun Yun, who is as pure and noble as a snow lotus on a high mountain in the hearts of countless people in the Jia Ma Empire.

Yun Leng's goatee trembled with rage. The frustration he felt from being humiliated by Xiao Yan and the awe he felt upon seeing the old sect leader had all transformed into a torrent of fury.

His eyes were wide open, his mouth was agape enough to fit an egg, and he was making noises in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Yun Yun froze, not even noticing that Nalan Yanran in her arms had slipped to the ground.

She stared intently at Xiao Yan, her beautiful eyes first filled with shock, then with panic, and finally with a hint of helplessness that even she herself couldn't understand. What did he say?

Propose to her? Marry her?

Saying it in front of so many people? That's impossible!

Nalan Yanran fell onto the bluestone, and the excruciating pain from her wounds tearing open again brought her back to her senses.

But the pain was nothing compared to the impact of Xiao Yan's words on her.

When she heard Xiao Yan say those words, her pale face was instantly filled with disbelief. She looked at Xiao Yan and felt only absurdity.

This man who destroyed her pride, this man who made her lose all dignity in front of countless disciples, actually wants to marry her teacher?

And teacher, why aren't you saying anything?

What—what on earth happened?

Nalan Yanran couldn't understand—

In the deathly silence of the council chamber, only the calm on Yunshan's face shattered completely.

Veins bulged on his forehead as he stared intently at Xiao Yan, his deep eyes blazing with fury, and pale blue fighting spirit surging around him like a tsunami.

"Outrageous! Utterly outrageous!"

The aged voice, imbued with terrifying battle aura, swept through the entire council hall like a storm.

The disciples with weaker cultivation were directly blasted backward, crashing into the beams and pillars and losing consciousness. The entire hall, which was over a thousand meters in diameter, was shaking, and the beams and pillars groaned under the weight.

"Xiao Yan! Do you know what you're saying?!" Yun Shan's voice was icy cold, and his killing intent was almost tangible.

"Yun'er is the sect leader of my Yunlan Sect. How dare you, a mere brat, dare to desecrate her!"

Hearing the angry shout, Yun Yun suddenly came to her senses, her cheeks burning, her mind in turmoil, and she instinctively wanted to explain.

She instinctively stepped in front of Xiao Yan, her skirt curving with the sudden movement, her usually cool voice trembling almost imperceptibly: "Master! Xiao Yan, he..."

"Yun'er! Step back!" Yunshan interrupted her sharply, his anger growing even stronger.

"Have you been bewitched by this kid too? Or is that why you've abandoned your disciple?!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun froze on the spot, looking at Nalan Yanran lying motionless on the ground, and instinctively grabbed Xiao Yan's sleeve with her left hand.

On one side is the teacher, on the other side is...

Grandmaster Yunyun's eyes gradually reddened, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
