Chapter 180 The Fallen Genius and Nalan Yanran

Why did I come to Yunlan Sect to find Yun Yun today? This matter started some time ago.

…

"Xiao Yan, fighting force, third stage! Level: low level!"

Please recite the full text below.

Gu Meng was in place early and observed secretly out of the mentality of investing in advance. His thoughts were the same as Lu Buwei's back then - rare goods are worth keeping.

Qin Yiren was not well received in Zhao State at that time. Those who could be hostages were the sons who were responsible for being beheaded when Qin State attacked. Qin Yiren's father had more than 20 sons, and Qin Yiren and his biological mother were not favored. Generally speaking, they had no inheritance rights, but only Lu Buwei felt that this kind of goods had fallen to the bottom, and when would he not buy the bottom now?

The young Yan Emperor was equivalent to Qin Shihuang's father to Gu Meng.

Anyway, Emperor Hun Tian was very cruel to his own people. He was the kind of villain who practiced fighting skills and did not recognize his relatives.

There are a lot of evil styles in the Soul Clan's fighting skills. Anyway, there are not many normal people in the entire Soul Clan who can be friends. Who would be so "hehehe" for no reason?

In short, when Gu Meng saw Xiao Yan, he had no intention of saying "this child must not be kept".

Xiao Yan practiced Qi at the age of four and became a fighter at the age of eleven. He was already very powerful in a small place, although he could not compare with the normal geniuses of the eight ancient clans. For example, Gu Meng was able to perform well among the children of the same period in his childhood. He also practiced Qi at the age of four and became a fighter at the age of eight.

Of course, historical monsters like Xiao Xuan are even more amazing. He has full talent and is a fighter at the age of six.

However, it is one thing to have no wisdom and blood awakening speed when you are young, and it is another thing when you are a little older.

Some geniuses in remote areas are not far behind when they are young, but they will have bottlenecks in their breakthroughs later. When they grow up, their speed is far worse than that of top geniuses. Some people also become fighters before the age of ten, but it takes hundreds of years to become a Dou Zun, and there is no chance of Dou Sheng in their lifetime.

After Xiao Xuan became a fighter, he practiced at a new level almost every year.

He reached Douling at the age of ten, Douhuang at the age of twelve, Douzun at the age of fifteen, and Dousheng was not slow either, reaching the peak of Dousheng at a young age.

For the true pure-blooded geniuses of the eight ancient clans, there was no bottleneck before the semi-saint. The top-level divine bloodline even had the potential to grow to the peak of Dousheng. The inferior ones would not be slow at least before they were promoted to Douzun.

Unexpectedly, Gu Meng could feel the bottleneck when he was Douhuang. He had to be stuck for many years every time he broke through one star. After Douzong, he was completely stuck. The potential of Huntianzong was really only Douzong, which became a negative example of "being good at a young age may not be good when you grow up".

After reaching the upper limit of talent in Doupo World, the bottleneck of each star, relying on normal practice and hard grinding, is likely to be stuck for a lifetime. If you are a Douzong of several stars in middle age, you may still be a Douzong of several stars when you die. If you are a Douzun of several stars in your teens, you will still be a Douzun of several stars when you are hundreds of years old.

Not to mention breaking through the realm, for example, Medusa needs to rely on evolution to break through Dou Zong, and Yunshan also needs resources from the Soul Palace.

Gu Meng should not have reached a bottleneck so early. Hearing the name of this world "Soul Heaven Sect", you know that he should have pure blood and a terrifyingly high generation, otherwise he can't be an elder of the Soul Palace - it's called Soul Heaven Sect. If he doesn't become an elder but a small guardian, it's not a slap in Gu Meng's face, it's a slap on the ass of Emperor Hun Tian...

It seems a little wrong, anyway, that's the meaning.

In short, Xiao Yan's gold content as a Dou Zhe at the age of eleven is very high in a small place, Yao Chen is a six-star Dou Zhe at the age of thirteen, and Xiao Yan, a time traveler, has a starting speed that can't be found in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

If Gu Meng came to invest in the past few years, the effect would be icing on the cake, not as impressive as it is now.

…

“Chief Xiao, I know this request is a bit unreasonable, but please cancel the engagement for the sake of the clan leader…”

Ge Ye may have relied on the status of the Yunlan Clan in the Jiama Empire to do this kind of thing of using power to pressure others, and the tone of his speech made people feel uncomfortable.

Xiao Zhan, whose name is the same as that of a top male star, was very angry when he heard it, but because the opponent was powerful and the three elders of the Xiao family who had always been at odds with the clan leader stopped him, he had to accept the cancellation of the engagement on the spot.

But this wave was considered a loss of face, and the prestige in the clan also declined.

This was Nalan Yanran’s fault. She had not been in contact with the Xiao family for many years. Given the relationship between her family and the elders of the Xiao family, she had not even had the concept of writing a letter to settle the matter privately before. To be honest, there was no problem for her to cancel the engagement, but today she directly used power to pressure others and said it directly in front of so many people. It was really stupid (bad).

Then Xiao Yan couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out. He didn't know Nalan Yanran. To be honest, Nalan Yanran couldn't compare with Xiao Xun'er in terms of appearance and personality. If she changed her attitude...

"Please remember that my teacher, the leader of Yunlan Sect, personally approved my coming to the Xiao family this time!"

When Nalan Yanran saw Xiao Yan, she acted superior and spoke like a judge.

This girl has been praised since she entered the Yunlan Sect. She does have some issues with her character. Yun Yun probably didn't expect her apprentice to have this attitude, otherwise she wouldn't have let him take the Qi Gathering Powder made by Gu He himself:

"You can regard this as coercion, but you should also know that reality is like this. Nothing is absolutely fair. Although I don't want to express anything..."

Nalan Yanran started to mock, so the two made a three-year agreement, and at the same time forced out that classic saying--

"...Xiao Yan advises you a few words, thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the poor young man!"

"Okay, the young man has backbone."

Gu Meng, who was dressed in a black robe and didn't look like a good person, appeared on the stage.

"Who?" The people from the Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect asked at the same time.

When meeting for the first time, Gu Meng had to show his strength. After growing up in the clan, Gu Meng couldn't shake it anymore, but in the past years when he was sent to the Soul Palace, he had to pretend to be arrogant, otherwise he would have been eaten to death.

Gu Meng did not directly reply to their questions, but showed a majestic momentum like a dragon awakening.

In an instant, the entire Xiao family was enveloped. A powerful pressure that Xiao Yan had never felt before rose up from the Xiao family and even tended to permeate the entire city.

Everyone present, whether they were members of the Xiao family or the Yunlan Sect, were so oppressed that it was difficult to breathe. The targeted Yunlan Sect members couldn't help but bend their bodies.

"This momentum..."

Nalan Yanran wanted to raise her head and refuse to admit defeat, but she couldn't resist at all, and a touch of shock appeared on her pretty face.

As a disciple of Yun Yun, she often has close contact with the powerful Dou Huang, and she should be the most sensitive to the aura of the powerful among the Yunlan Sect.

But this momentum seems to be stronger than her master, Yun Yun, the leader of Yunlan Sect. Who is this person?

"Who is your Excellency, and why are you targeting our Yunlan Sect? Our Yunlan Sect is the strongest force in the Jiama Empire. In addition to the sect leader who is a powerful fighter against emperors, there are also Supreme Elders who are in seclusion..."

Kuzu Ye also felt dizzy for a moment. After being domineering for a long time, it has become an instinctive reaction to say such things when encountering problems.

"Are you threatening me?"

Gu Meng turned his head, and the evil boss's aura became more powerful. There was a faint black and red torrent shadow on his body, as if he was going to kill someone if he disagreed.

Everyone feels that Kuzu Ye is really brave, and he is really willing to go to any trouble. No matter how you look at this man in black robe who just appeared, he is a ruthless person who kills people without blinking an eye.

Even Xiao Zhan, who had just been squeezed out by him, seemed to have gained face, because Ge Ye had the same reaction to both Xiao Zhan and Gu Meng.

Gu Meng suddenly stepped into the void, walked to Ge Ye, tilted his head as if listening, and motioned for him to say it again.

The face of the knowledgeable person from Yunlan Sect suddenly changed, and there was unconcealable shock in his voice.

"Am I right? You can fly stably in the air without summoning the wings of fighting spirit. Is this true?"

"hiss……"

"The powerful Douzong man is so terrifying!"

"When did such a powerful person appear in the Jia Ma Empire!"

The difference between Dou Huang and Dou Zong is only one level, but the gap between them is huge, much wider than the gap between Dou Huang and Dou Wang.

A sect with multiple Fighting Kings may be at the same level as one or two Fighting Emperors, but whether or not a Fighting Zong is in charge is a qualitative difference between the forces. It will not be so rare until the map is changed.

"Senior, junior don't dare..."

Kuzu Ye was sweating profusely.

"Hmph, weren't you very arrogant just now? I'm so scared of the disciples and grandsons of Yunshan, Jie - cough cough," Gu Meng restrained his habit of speaking:

"And you, little girl, young people, don't be too arrogant!"

Nalan Yanran had a stubborn look on her face and gritted her teeth and said, "Can you still call yourself a young man if you are not so angry?"

Cool, as expected of a person from the world of grudges, the eldest lady is really awesome when it comes to arrogance.

"Haha, interesting, girl, think about the consequences before you do something, and don't solve the problem so roughly because of your power. Although it is not responsible for the children of the family not to abide by the marriage contract, I can understand it, but please recall what you just said "What's the benefit of doing this to you? Tsk, you are indeed a disciple of the great sect."

As Gu Meng said, the black and red air flow around him flashed past, and the pressure increased, causing everyone in the Yunlan Sect to fall to the ground one after another, and they were prone to crawling, feeling very painful from being crushed.

"Do you still have any dissatisfaction? If you don't like it, why don't you stand up and beat me?"

Except for Nalan Yanran who really wanted to struggle now, everyone else gave up resistance at this time.

It is impossible for a strong Douzong person to win.

Gu Meng shook his head: "Oh, it turns out that I am also a descendant of a wealthy family and an elder of a powerful force. I am using my power to bully others. That's no problem."

"...Forget it, if I really bully you, I will bully the small. When I go back, I will go to Yun Lan Sect in person and argue with Yun Shan Yun Yun."

Gu Meng's tone was full of ridicule, and he relieved the pressure of his aura. Then he ignored everyone in the Yunlan Sect and turned to Xiao Zhan:

"Clan Chief Xiao, you have a good son. I just saw it. This son has extraordinary talents, outstanding soul strength, and better character. The 'strange disease' that caused the decline in fighting spirit in the past few years was just an accident..."

Gu Meng thought about it for a while, but still didn't expose Yaochen in public, and continued:

"I intend to take him to a deserted place to talk and cure the 'strange disease'. Chief Xiao, do you think it's okay?"

The words gave Xiao Zhan enough face, and after hearing this, Xiao Yan's favorability towards Gu Meng skyrocketed, and he was overjoyed that he could finally practice normally.

"Okay, so that's it... Okay, great. Senior, please excuse me, Yan'er. No matter whether this senior can cure you or not, you must remember this kindness."

Xiao Zhan had nothing to say to Xiao Yan and was overjoyed to hear that his son's strange disease could be cured.

Although this Douzong strongman looks like a bad guy, he is really a good person!

As for the conspiracy of the mysterious strong man, I didn’t think much about it. Xiao Zhan is just a great fighting master. If the mysterious strong man really wanted to do something, he could secretly take Xiao Yan away. No need to ask more, it can be seen that there is a high probability that the opponent will not Malice.

Xiao Zhan and his son had no objection, and the others were even less likely to stop him. The three elders and others wanted to lick Xiao Yan again as soon as possible, even if he would still be a waste in the future, they would lick him like crazy in order to have a relationship with Douzong.

Only Xiao Xun'er still felt a little strange, but she was still young and immature. She couldn't do anything about Yao Lao sucking Xiao Yan, and now she didn't stop him.

Gu Meng didn't look at Xiao Xun'er much, and flew to the back mountain with Xiao Yan.

On the surface, she only had a Dou Huang by her side, who knows if she would be involved in some strange troubles. Xiao Yan's touching her when he was a child didn't mean anything,

...

"Jie, cough, Yao Zun, come out, I know it's you."

On the edge of the cliff in the back mountain, Yao Chen saw that he couldn't hide, so he came out.

"Who are you?" X2

It was both Xiao Yan asking Yao Chen and Yao Chen asking Gu Meng.

Gu Meng wanted to invest heavily in Xiao Yan at that time, and first said to the young man:

"This person is the reason why your cultivation has regressed in recent years. Yao Zun was assassinated by his traitor, and only the remnant of his soul hid in the ring on your hand. I am afraid that he accidentally absorbed your cultivation."

Then he answered Yao Chen's question:

"My soul...Xuantian Sect."

Yao Chen didn't believe it. He knew that he was from the Soul Palace by looking at the eerie feeling. He was also Xuantian Sect. I am afraid his surname was Hun. He was lying here.

The Huntian Sect probably has a high status from the name. Yao Chen has already made up his mind to die, but Gu Meng is certainly not afraid of him in his current state.

After hearing the truth, Xiao Yan wanted to fight with Yao Chen. The situation was quite chaotic for a while, but they finally reached an agreement.

Yao Chen had to compensate Xiao Yan, and Gu Meng gave Xiao Yan a lot of money and some exquisite earth-level and Xuan-level fighting skills that he had greedily obtained from the Soul Palace treasury. After all, he didn't feel sorry for greedy things.

"Why are you so nice to me, senior?"

"Are you really not from the Soul Palace?"

Gu Meng answered Xiao Yan's question first: "There are many reasons. Don't think too much about the details. Anyway, I have no ill intentions... I have a strong impulse. You may become a big figure in Douqi Continent. It may be fate that lets me meet you today."

"In addition, many years ago, I was also a fallen genius. Seeing you is like seeing myself..."

Who was not a genius when they were young?

As for the fact that they are all time travelers, Gu Meng is ready to talk about it after they become familiar with each other.

Then he said to Yao Chen: "Okay, you recognized me after all. That's right, I am the elder of the Soul Palace! But don't be in a hurry--"

Before Yao Chen made a desperate counterattack, Gu Meng stopped him:

"If I really wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have called you out today and talked to you like this. I would have led the team to block you directly."

"To be honest, I am also dissatisfied with the Soul Palace's actions. They have already gone astray, but unfortunately I have a special identity and cannot escape. I can only secretly trip others up... I admire Yao Zun's character and alchemy skills."

Yao Chen thought so too, and gave up the urge to take action for the time being. Maybe this person is really a weirdo of the Soul Palace.

...

After investing in Xiao Yan, Gu Meng went to Yunlan Sect again, called Yun Yun out, and criticized her a few words.

By the way, let her spread the three-year agreement and the fact that the Xiao family has the support of the mysterious Dou Zong through the channels of Yunlan Sect to create momentum. These are all part of the favor.

I didn't expect that while I was still talking, I would awaken the system and complete the first task directly. Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran, Yun Yun.

Xiao Xun'er didn't seem to be counted in the number of people. It seems that even if the conditions of the first task are relatively loose, it is not a deep contact, but it is still necessary to say a few words to complete it.

Yun Yun was being criticized, and she was a little surprised to see Gu Meng suddenly stop talking, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Gu Meng sorted out the shared gains, and then found that he was being stared at by Yun Yun, and said calmly:

"Master Yun, do you remember what I just said?"

"...I remember it."

Yun Yun is not a weak person, but there is nothing wrong with the big truths that Gu Meng told her before, such as the Yunlan Sect's style is too domineering.

Moreover, the opponent is not only a strong man, but also backed by the Soul Palace, a major force in Zhongzhou. People are under the eaves. It is reasonable for him to teach himself a lesson when he finds that the lower-level forces have problems. Gu Meng's appearance is obviously that of an elder, so Yun Yun just listened quietly.

"That's good. You don't want your master's breakthrough to have any accidents, right?"

"You?!" Yun Yun was dissatisfied, but didn't dare to get angry.

"Relax, I'm not saying I want to do anything dirty. I have done everything I can in my life. I just feel that your Yunlan Sect is not worth my investment, so I want to take back the gift I gave to your master... You better learn your lesson."

There will be another chapter later... I'm so slow at cooking.
