Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Upon hearing Jia Xingtian's words, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, a look of resignation on his face, and said, "Senior Brother has gone to the Chuyun Empire on business and is not currently in the Jia Ma Empire."

Jia Xingtian, who had only casually made up an excuse to change the subject, frowned upon hearing Xiao Yan's words and then said, "So, he can't make it back in time?"

"I don't know, we can't get in touch with our senior brother for the time being." Xiao Yan said with a bitter expression.

When Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong heard Xiao Yan's words, a hint of disappointment flashed across their faces. After all, when Xiao Fan was in the Yunlan Sect, his terrifying strength made him a key player on their side. It was indeed a pity that such a powerful figure was no longer there.

Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong exchanged a glance. Suddenly, Jia Xingtian abruptly turned his head to look outside the palace, his expression solemn. Immediately, Hai Bodong and Fa Ma also looked in the direction Jia Xingtian was looking.

"So many powerful individuals!"

As Jia Xingtian sensed the approaching presences, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"No need to rush, they should all be our people."

Xiao Yan glanced at the composed You Ruo and guessed who it was. A smile appeared on his face.

Then, within Xiao Yan and the others' sight, several figures gradually emerged from the horizon.

On the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the snake-people tribe leaders Yin Shi, Mobas, Yue Mei, and Yan Ci, who had all broken through to the Dou Huang level, were all on high alert. Beside them, a figure hidden in a black robe was also quietly observing this side.

Having just received Xiao Yan's message through a previously prepared secret method, they rushed over from the Monster Mountain Range. Because they were worried about the situation, You Ruo arrived at the scene ahead of them, and they were late in arriving.

"Sigh~"

Although Xiao Yan had already mentioned their helpers once, Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, and Fa Ma still couldn't help but gasp when they saw so many Dou Huang powerhouses gathered in the Jia Ma Palace.

The strength of the Snake-People was no secret, but Jia Xingtian and the others never expected that, besides Medusa who had just broken through to the Dou Zong realm, there were actually four other tribal leaders who had broken through to the Dou Huang realm. Thinking of this, Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong couldn't help but have some doubts about the source of their information.

Why didn't they receive any news about the Snake-People's explosive growth in strength? Fortunately, the Snake-People were their allies this time, and their aura was in no way inferior to Jia Xingtian's Amethyst Winged Lion King and the Spotted Emperor hiding in the black robe. They were rare powerhouses even among Dou Huang.

Looking at the many powerful figures before them, Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and Fa Ma couldn't help but reveal a hint of confidence.

With such a formidable lineup, even if the Yunlan Sect is strong, they are now confident they can destroy it!

As time passed, the hidden injuries on the Shocking Wave Dragon Beast gradually healed under the effects of the Primordial Bone-Sculpting Pill, and its aura returned to its peak.

"Roar!"

Feeling an exhilarating sensation unseen for many years, the Storm Dragon Beast couldn't help but speak again, letting out a high-pitched roar.

Meanwhile, at the lakeside, the Spotted Emperor, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and others all landed and watched the Storm Dragon Beast in mid-air.

After the Dragon Beast descended, Xiao Yan's forces became even more powerful.

You Ruo, a three-star Dou Zong, Jia Xingtian, Zijing Winged Lion King, and Jingtao Dragon Beast, all peak Dou Huangs, Ban Huang, an eight-star Dou Huang, Hai Bodong, Fa Ma, Yin Shi, Mo Bas, Yue Mei, and Yan Ci, totaling one Dou Zong and ten Dou Huangs!

Xiao Yan looked at the crowd gathered around him and smiled. With this lineup, he should be able to protect his teacher!

When he heard the news about the Soul Palace, Xiao Yan was filled with worry, but looking at the group of powerful figures gathered around him, a confident smile appeared on his face.

"I thank you all in advance!"

Xiao Yan's gaze swept over everyone, and he bowed respectfully. After all, many of them had chosen to help Xiao Yan because of Xiao Fan, including the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and the Spotted Emperor.

The only thing that made Xiao Yan feel somewhat helpless was that he couldn't contact Xiao Fan. After all, when his senior brother was by his side, Xiao Yan felt very relaxed, and his senior brother would take care of everything.

"Gentlemen, now that we are all here, and a battle with the Yunlan Sect is inevitable sooner or later, why don't we... strike first?"

Xiao Yan sized up everyone present, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and spoke.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, everyone's faces showed surprise. They then exchanged glances, all of them eager to join in. After all, the longer they dragged it out, the more likely the Yunlan Sect would have other preparations. It would be better to take advantage of the Yunlan Sect's current lack of preparedness and attack them directly.

"it is good!"

Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong exchanged a glance, then said, "In that case, I will immediately order the royal family to mobilize the army to surround the mountain where Yunlan Sect is located. Once Yunshan and the others are defeated, I guarantee that no one from Yunlan Sect will escape."

Hai Bodong nodded in agreement, then said, "Then the Mittel family should also bring out the backup plan they've been working hard to prepare over the past few years."

No one objected to Xiao Yan's suggestion. After devising a plan to storm the Yunlan Sect, the group quietly disappeared from their original positions and headed towards the Yunlan Sect.

After leaving the palace, Hai Bodong sent messages to the Yan and Mu families. Upon learning of Xiao Yan's plan, the two families did not hesitate and immediately began to mobilize their forces.

Such a major upheaval within the capital could not be kept secret from the Yunlan Sect's spies. However, by the time they were about to take action, the royal family and the Mittel family had already completely taken control of the capital, ensuring that no Yunlan Sect spy could leave the capital.

As the royal family and various clans took action, an invisible tension gradually spread from the capital.

At the Nalan family residence, Nalan Su listened to the report from his subordinates, his face darkening. He then walked towards the courtyard where Nalan Yanran was.

Chapter 54: Protector Jiu Appears, the One Who Leaked the News.

crunch~

Nalan Su pushed open the courtyard gate of Nalan Yanran's house. Looking at Nalan Yanran, who was still sitting in the pavilion cultivating, a trace of urgency appeared on his face. He quickly walked to Nalan Yanran's side and said, "Yanran, as I told you last time, Hai Bodong and others have most likely joined forces with the royal family. Did you report this to the Yunshan Sect Master? Why were only three elders sent during this attack on the Mittel family? Do you know that they have all perished?"

"what?"

Upon hearing Nalan Su's words, Nalan Yanran was shocked. She frowned and said softly, "The information you gave me last time, I personally delivered to Elder Yunling. But I've heard... Elder Yunling has always been at odds with Yun Jin and the others. But no matter what, he shouldn't have the guts to conceal information, right?"

“Alas.” Nalan Su felt something was amiss when he heard Nalan Yanran’s words, but he did not dwell on it. Instead, he said, “Yun Leng is petty, short-sighted, and vindictive. I’m afraid the deaths of the three elders, including Yun Jin, are inextricably linked to him.”

"Ah."

Nalan Yanran nodded gently, then looked at Nalan Su and asked, "Father, has the royal family made another move?"

"The royal family and the Mittel family have joined forces to seal off the capital. I'm afraid they're planning to attack the Yunlan Sect first. Unfortunately, we can't get any information out of the country right now."

Upon hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Nalan Su's face showed a hint of helplessness, followed by a flash of resentment. He gritted his teeth and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran's eyes flashed with a glint of light. She narrowed her eyes and then said, "Father, don't worry, I will take this message out and report it to the sect leader in person."

"Okay, then I'll leave everything to you."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Su smiled with relief. Since his last conversation with his daughter, she had agreed to Yunshan's request and would continue to stay in Yunlan Sect. Once Yunshan passed the position of sect leader to her, the Nalan family would undoubtedly become the number one family in the Jia Ma Empire.

Thinking of this, Nalan Su nodded to Nalan Yanran and then left Nalan Yanran's courtyard with peace of mind.

Nalan Yanran watched Nalan Su's departing figure until it completely disappeared, then her smile froze. She muttered in a low voice, "Hmph, Yun Jin, you opportunistic scoundrels, this is the price you pay for betraying your teacher..."

Then Nalan Yanran looked up in the direction of Yunlan Sect and muttered to herself, "Is it about to begin...?"

......

As the royal family and the Mittel family moved, countless troops gradually surrounded the Yunlan Sect's location and then camped at the foot of Yunlan Sect Mountain. Such a large-scale operation naturally could not escape the Yunlan Sect's detection, but at this point, whether the Yunlan Sect knew or not was no longer important.

boom!

At the summit of Yunlan Sect, Yunshan, upon hearing his disciple's report, unleashed the aura of a Dou Zong and roared, "Fine! Since they insist on seeking death, then let them have their way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yunshan turned his gaze to the sky and said coldly, "Since you're here, why bother with all this hiding?"

Then Yunshan pushed out a huge white palm print, which slammed into the air.

boom!

A streak of seven-colored light flashed past, easily shattering Yun Shan's palm print. Immediately afterward, Xiao Yan and You Ruo's figures appeared in mid-air.

Medusa, it's you again!

Yunshan looked at You Ruo in mid-air, a cold look on his face, and then said in a cold voice, "Medusa, this is a matter between my Yunlan Sect, the Jia Ma Royal Family, and the Xiao Family. Do you really want to interfere? You should know that the Snake-People Clan only has one queen, you."

When You Ruo heard Yun Shan's words, she still had a faint expression on her face. After Yun Shan finished speaking, she then said, "How I act is none of your business, Yun Shan. As for my snake-people clan, you don't need to worry about us. You should wait until Yun Lan Sect gets through this crisis before you talk about it."

"Humph!"

Hearing Medusa's merciless words, Yunshan snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to Xiao Yan. Seeing that Xiao Yan was only a five-star Dou Wang, a mocking smile appeared on his face: "Only a five-star Dou Wang. It seems that you are Xiao Yan of the Xiao family."

"Elders, please come out."

Yunshan put his hands behind his back, nodded slightly, and then several figures flew out from the main hall behind him.

Yun Ling and the others, a total of seven figures, all gathered behind Yun Shan.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yun Ling and the others behind Yun Shan. He hadn't expected that even though Yun Jin and the other two had been killed, the Yunlan Sect still had seven Dou Huangs and a Soul Hall expert hiding in the shadows, whose whereabouts were unknown.

“Xingtian, Haibodong, and Fama, now that you’ve arrived, why hide anymore?”

Yunshan looked at Xiao Yan opposite him with a slight smile. Even if Yun Jin and the other two were surrounded by Jia Xingtian and died prematurely, Yunshan believed that with the strength of their Yunlan Sect, they could still easily defeat the Jia Ma royal family.

After all, the Yunlan Sect is now undoubtedly the strongest in the Jia Ma Empire. Even if Jia Xingtian and others join forces, Yunshan has no worries at all.

As soon as Yunshan finished speaking, Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and Fa Ma, who were hiding in the shadows, exchanged a glance and then appeared, standing behind Xiao Yan.

Yunshan glanced at Jia Xingtian and the others, then looked at Fa Ma and said, "Guild Master Fa Ma, the Alchemist Guild has always refrained from participating in power struggles. Are you trying to break this rule?"

Upon hearing Yunshan's words, Fa Ma looked up at him and then said, "Yunshan, at this point, there's no point in saying more. Let's see who's the real deal!"

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Yunshan narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yan, a hint of undisguised curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Yunshan, it's come to this point, aren't you going to let the person behind you come out?"

Xiao Yan cautiously observed Yun Shan, keeping a close eye on the movements in the shadows. Unable to ascertain the strength of the Soul Palace members, Xiao Yan dared not take a gamble.

Only after the Soul Palace members appear will Xiao Yan consider whether to fight or retreat, since Yao Lao's safety is what Xiao Yan cares about most.

"Hmm?" Yun Shan turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"I wonder which of the Soul Palace's protectors is behind you?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Yun Shan's eyes, but he quickly regained his confidence when he thought of the current strength of the Yunlan Sect.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

As Xiao Yan finished speaking, a piercing sound rang out, sending chills down the spines of everyone present.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, a cloud of dark mist floated out from the back mountain of Yunlan Sect and landed in front of Yunshan.
