Chapter 405: The Three-Year Agreement Begins!
In front of the Yunlan Sect’s mountain gate, there was a huge square paved entirely with huge stones. At this moment, there were more than a thousand Yunlan Sect disciples sitting cross-legged in a semicircle.
Without exception, they all wore moon-white robes. At the cuffs, cloud-like long swords fluttered in the wind, like living things, with a faint hint of sword intent.
At the top of the square, there were some towering stone seats. The steps gradually went up, and the older they were, the higher they went. The row of stone seats on the top floor was empty at this moment. Below them, there were more than a dozen white-robed old men sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed. These old men were all elders of the Yunlan Sect.
Although there were thousands of people on this huge square, it was completely silent. Except for the whistling of the wind, there was no other sound.
Occasionally, a slightly strong wind blew across the square, and suddenly, all you could see were white robes fluttering, like clouds descending from the sky. This scene was quite shocking at first glance.
At a certain moment, the sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded in the air, and then three relatively powerful auras landed on the highest row of stone seats.
These three people were Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild, Jia Xingtian, the royal guardian, and Hai Bodong, the supreme elder of the Miter family.
After that, people like Nalan Jie, Mu Chen, Miter Tengshan, and some famous Dou Wang strongmen of the Jiama Empire also arrived here one after another, but these people were not able to sit in a row with Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma, but sat on the stone platform below the location of the dozen Yunlan Sect elders.
The arrival of these people did not cause much reaction from the Yunlan Sect disciples on the square. Obviously, they had received orders long ago.
At this time, Hai Bodong, who was sitting on the high platform, had a slightly solemn expression on his face. In the eyes of a strong man like him, he could naturally find some details that others could hardly notice. In his perception, the breathing rhythm of nearly a thousand Yunlan Sect disciples on the square was completely consistent, and their breaths were intertwined. If they moved anywhere, they would be attacked by a continuous and fierce attack like a rainstorm. On this square, these nearly a thousand people were almost like one body. When they started, thousands of people attacked together. Even Douhuang strongmen had to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.
"It's worthy of being the Yunlan Sect." Hai Bodong sighed in his heart. He had to admire how difficult it was to train these disciples to cooperate so well.
Turning his head, Hai Bodong and Fa Ma, Jia Xingtian, looked at each other, and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. Obviously, this combined formation of the Yunlan Sect also made them a little afraid.
…
“Strange… All of us who were invited to be guests have already arrived, why are Sect Master Yun Yun and today’s protagonist Nalan Yanran still not here?” After looking at the disciples of Yunlan Sect on the field for a while, Jia Xingtian suddenly spoke in surprise.
“Maybe Sect Master Yun Yun is still telling Nalan Yanran something!” Hearing Jia Xingtian’s words, Fa Ma responded casually. He didn’t take such a duel between juniors very seriously. This time, Fa Ma mainly wanted to see Gu He when he went to Yunlan Mountain.
When the Alchemist Conference ended, he learned from Liu Ling that a top powerhouse like Xiao Yixian was actually Gu He’s disciple. He had always wanted to find Gu He to verify the truth of this matter. If he hadn’t been invited by Yunlan Sect before, he might have been unable to resist climbing Yunlan Mountain yesterday.
Just as Fa Ma was thinking in his heart, Jia Xingtian asked a question that he also wanted to know.
"Fa Ma, old man Bing, what do you think... if Gu He really taught a disciple of such strength, would his strength have reached the Dou Zong realm?" Jia Xingtian frowned slightly.
"This... Gu He's talent for alchemy is good, but his cultivation talent doesn't seem to be that strong!" Fa Ma hesitated and said.
"You two don't make blind guesses here. Let me tell you a secret. Gu He may have reached at least the cultivation level of a high-level Dou Huang two years ago. Of course, I was just guessing at that time, but now I am sure of it." As soon as Fa Ma finished speaking, Hai Bodong suddenly said.
"Has he reached the cultivation level of a high-level Dou Huang two years ago?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma both showed deep surprise on their faces.
The time was calculated to when Gu He had just broken through to Dou Wang. If Gu He really had the cultivation level of a high-level Dou Huang two years ago, how terrifying would his talent be? This terrifying talent is very likely to allow him to break through to Dou Zong within two years.
However, even if Gu He really possessed such a heaven-defying talent and strength, it was impossible to explain why his female disciple had the strength of a high-level Douhuang at the age of seventeen.
"This is really unbelievable!"
After some thought, Jia Xingtian shook his head violently, still unwilling to believe this fact.
At this moment, four young men and women walked out of the main hall of Yunlan Sect.
These four people were Liu Ling, Xiao Yixian, Nalan Yanran, and Qinglin.
After the four people walked out of the main hall, they walked straight to the huge square. After arriving at the square, Nalan Yanran walked to the center of the square alone, and the other three found a few stone seats and sat side by side.
The news that Liu Ling won the championship of the Alchemist Conference had already been reported back to Yunlan Sect, and for a time, he had great prestige in Yunlan Sect. Therefore, at this moment, Liu Ling took Xiao Yixian and Qinglin to sit on the high stone platform, and no one stepped forward to stop them.
"For some reason, she seems to be much stronger than before..." Jia Xingtian said with a frown, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yixian.
"I have the same feeling..."
Hearing this, Fa Ma and Hai Bodong said almost at the same time, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Xiao Yixian.
"After Nalan Yanran's duel with the Xiao family kid is over, I will definitely go to see Gu He." Thinking of Xiao Yixian's self-introduction that night, saying that she was the leader of a sect in the Chuyun Empire, Jia Xingtian secretly made some decisions in his heart.
At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps under the bluestone steps outside the square. Hearing this sound, all the Yunlan Sect disciples in the square, including those sitting on the high platform, cast their eyes on the same place.
Under the gaze of everyone, a young man carrying a huge black ruler walked up the last step and appeared on the square.
The young man's eyes swept across the huge square without joy or sadness, and finally stopped at Nalan Yanran in the center of the square, who also cast a pair of bright eyes at him.
"Xiao family, Xiao Yan!"
