Fama frowned deeply and replied in a low voice.
Sensing the terrifying pressure, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Ning with worry and asked, "Brother Ning, the person who came is very strong. Can you handle him?"
Yun Yun's red lips parted slightly, uttering a few words: "Master is awake, this is troublesome!"
Xiao Ning's expression remained unchanged, still calm and composed, and he laughed, "Yun Shan is only at the initial stage of Dou Zong, a piece of cake!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun couldn't tell if he was confident or just feigning composure. She gritted her teeth, cupped her hands to Xiao Ning, and said, "Senior, please forgive us for meeting you for the first time under these circumstances! I am the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect. I beg you to show mercy and spare Yunlan Sect. Yun Yun will be eternally grateful!"
Xiao Ning waved his hand, shook his head and chuckled, "I have no grudge against the Yunlan Sect, so it doesn't matter to me. Let's see what Xiao Yanzi thinks. If he has no objections, I can turn around and leave!"
He turned to Xiao Yan and asked, "Little Yan, what do you say? Whether it's war or peace, it's up to you to decide!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan understood that seeking his opinion was a way of giving him face; otherwise, Xiao Ning could have made the decision himself.
He smiled and said, "I believe Brother Ning wouldn't harm me. I'll listen to you, Brother Ning!"
These words were meant for Xiao Ning, and also to let Yun Yun know that I have a good relationship with Brother Ning, so you don't need to worry.
As the three spoke in hushed tones, the powerful aura emanating from the depths of Yunlan Mountain grew stronger and stronger.
Finally, a clear whistle suddenly soared into the sky, and under the gaze of countless eyes, a white figure emerged from the depths of Yunlan Mountain. Then, stepping into the void, it slowly approached the Yunlan Sect Square.
The white figure did not summon wings of battle aura, but the speed at which he walked in the void was no slower than that of an ordinary Battle Emperor.
Each time he stepped down, ripples would spread through the void, and when the ripples dissipated, his figure would already be a hundred meters away, which was extremely mysterious.
Of course, while this entrance was stylish, it was nowhere near as prestigious as Xiao Ning's entrance, which was riding on auspicious clouds.
After taking several such steps, in just a short while, the white figure appeared atop the stone monument in the center of the square.
His imposing gaze swept across the chaotic square, his brows furrowing sharply, and the oppressive aura surrounding the square intensified considerably.
This person is Yun Shan, the previous sect leader of Yunlan Sect and Yun Yun's master.
Yunshan floated in mid-air, dressed in a very simple white robe. A gentle breeze blew, and the robe fluttered, giving him an air of otherworldly elegance.
He didn't look very old; his face didn't have the wrinkles that old people usually have. Instead, he looked like a piece of warm jade radiating a soft glow.
However, the Yunlan Sect disciples below looked on with awe when they saw Yunshan.
"Hey, this old guy actually looks younger after breaking through to the Dou Zong realm. It seems that breaking through to the Dou Zong realm really has many benefits."
Looking at Yunshan's appearance, Jia Xingtian couldn't help but click his tongue, his words revealing a strong sense of envy and jealousy.
Yun Shan stood majestically in the void, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before landing directly on Yun Yun in the center. He said coldly, "Yun Yun, what's going on? As the sect leader, you should know that unless it's something important, you shouldn't disturb my cultivation! Why is Yun Leng so seriously injured?"
"Sect Master, you've finally come out! If you had come out any later, the Yunlan Sect might have been destroyed!"
Yun Yun didn't speak, but Yun Leng, who was lying on the ground, immediately started crying. His disheveled hair and bloodstains at the corner of his mouth made him look quite miserable.
Yunshan remained expressionless and said calmly, "Tell me what happened. This is the first time in all these years that my Yunlan Sect has been attacked!"
His words were filled with suppressed rage, like a powder keg ready to explode at the slightest spark.
Upon hearing this, Yun Ling's spirits lifted. He struggled to his feet, pointed at Xiao Yan in the crowd, and shouted, "Sect Master, today's events are all because of him!"
He then recounted in detail how Xiao Yan came up the mountain, fought with Nalan Yanran, fulfilled the three-year agreement, had an affair with Yun Yun, and asked Xiao Ning for help.
It must be said that Yun Leng is quite capable to be the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect. When he was talking about these things, he subtly described his act of forcibly keeping Xiao Yan as wanting Xiao Yan to stay at the Yunlan Sect for a few days until the truth of the matter was found out.
However, Xiao Yan refused without hesitation, and Yun Yun's protection of him only made things worse.
Yun Ling, however, acted as a protector, using the full strength of his sect to maintain its reputation, yet he was still no match for the powerful reinforcements Xiao Yan had brought in.
Yunling had no choice but to play his flute and summon Yunshan, who was in seclusion.
Yun Leng's words were half true and half false, but in the end, the responsibility for this matter was entirely placed on Xiao Yan's shoulders.
The square was silent, except for Yun Leng's slightly angry voice. After a long while, he recounted the whole story and said with some sorrow, "Elder Sect Master, Yun Yun, as the current Sect Master, has been biased towards outsiders, which has damaged the sect's reputation, disgraced our ancestors, and made us a laughingstock!"
"If we let this go unchecked, the prestige of my Yunlan Sect will be completely lost. In the future, any Tom, Dick, or Harry will dare to run wild in Yunlan Mountain. How will I, Yunling, face my ancestors in the afterlife?"
"Yunling is now powerless to stop the sect leader, and has no choice but to risk disturbing the old sect leader by asking you to come out and uphold justice!"
Upon hearing Yun Ling's accusation, Yun Yun hurriedly stepped forward. She respectfully bowed to Yun Shan in mid-air and defended herself, saying, "Disciple greets Master. The events described by the Grand Elder are not true. When I returned to the mountain halfway, Xiao Yan and Yan Ran's competition had already ended. However, the Grand Elder was dissatisfied and wanted to forcibly keep Xiao Yan."
"Such an act that tarnishes the reputation of my sect, I naturally wouldn't let him succeed, so I spoke up to defend him. How did it come to the Grand Elder's mouth as me siding with outsiders?"
"Please, Master, see the truth!"
After speaking, Yunyun bowed again.
After listening to Yun Leng and Yun Yun's respective accounts, Yun Shan's calm face remained expressionless. He raised his head, his gaze sweeping around the square, and said with a faint smile, "I didn't expect today's events to escalate so much. Even you old guys like Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma have come."
Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma exchanged a glance, smiled, and said, "Your Yunlan Sect sent out invitations, saying you wanted us to witness the three-year agreement for the next sect leader. We had nothing better to do, so we came to take a look!"
"What, old man, are you trying to kick us out?"
Jia Xingtian quickly learned of Yunshan's intentions. After all, family scandals should not be aired in public. Right now, the sect leader and the grand elder were blaming each other. Regardless of whose fault it was, if it got out, it would damage the reputation of Yunlan Sect.
Therefore, it was perfectly normal for Yunshan to want to clear the area.
Yunshan nodded slowly and said, "Today, things have not gone smoothly for our sect, causing much inconvenience. Please join us for a gathering next time. Farewell!"
It's practically saying, "Get the hell out of here!"
"Hehe, if you old codger don't welcome us, we don't need to make a fool of ourselves. Let's go!"
