The significant increase in strength, spanning an entire major realm, made Xiao Xiao forget the pain she had previously endured. Upon waking, she joyfully flew around the back mountain.
Night falls, inside the small courtyard house.
Looking at the two little ones sitting in front of him, Chu Yang couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Dan Tong looks like a three-year-old child, while Xiao Xiao looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. Why do I feel like a stay-at-home dad?
"Xiaoxiao, you need some time to stabilize your realm. Don't rush to break through to Dou Zun."
Gathering his thoughts, Chu Yang said softly, "In addition, besides your cultivation level, your physical strength and some... innate abilities have all reached the peak of the Dou Zun level."
"Adapt to the increase in strength as soon as possible!"
The physical body naturally refers to the peak beast body of the third generation, while the innate ability refers to the power contained in the ultimate gene.
Chu Yang continued, "From now on, you will take Dan Tong and search for rare and precious materials in the Northwest region, but you must return to Yunlan Sect once a month."
"If anyone attacks, you will be the Yunlan Sect's greatest asset."
Xiao Xiao was taken aback. "Master, are you leaving?"
Chu Yang nodded, looked into the distance and said, "The people behind the scenes have finally had enough. After I resolve the current situation, I will leave Yunlan Sect."
"If you want to stay by my side in the future, you should improve your strength as soon as possible."
…………
The Gama Empire, the Flame Alliance.
Inside the council hall, all the high-ranking members of the Flame Alliance were present, along with several powerful individuals who had traveled a long way from the Heavenly Serpent Palace.
However, everyone's faces were filled with worry, because the situation at the front was precarious, and even with reinforcements from the Heavenly Serpent Palace, the situation was not optimistic.
The sudden emergence of powerful figures among the three great empires has thrown the northwest region into chaos and thrust the Yan Alliance into the eye of the storm.
"The three great empires have come with great force this time. In addition to the Poison Sect Master, the three elders of Mulan, and Luo Yantian, there are also a total of six Dou Zong powerhouses!"
"The number of Dou Huang and Dou Wang experts far exceeds that of the Yan Alliance by several times."
Xiao Li said in a heavy tone, "Both Cai Lin and Green Barbarian were injured in the last battle. Facing an enemy equivalent to nine Dou Zong level experts, I'm afraid they will have difficulty resisting..."
Jia Xingtian took a deep breath and asked, "Is there any news from the Alliance Leader?"
Xiao Li shook his head and said, "My third brother is still in seclusion. If we force him to come out of seclusion, it's a small matter if he misses the opportunity to break through to the Dou Huang realm. If he suffers a backlash or even goes into qi deviation, it will only make the situation more dangerous."
Everyone fell silent. Although Xiao Yan would only be a one-star Dou Huang even if he successfully broke through, no one dared to underestimate his strength.
If Xiao Yan can return, the pressure from the Dou Zong level will be greatly reduced.
Most importantly, Xiao Yan has a great influence in both the Black Corner Region and Canaan Academy. With him stepping forward, he might be able to bring in some helpers.
"If there's no other way, we'll have to abandon the first line of defense and fight our way back..."
A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Ding's eyes.
“Abandon the defense line?” Jia Xingtian’s eyes widened. “Given the way the three great empires operate, the areas we abandon will surely be filled with blood and destruction!”
"Even if we retreat, where can we retreat to?"
"The capital!" Xiao Li declared resolutely. "Retreat to the capital, and fight a desperate battle!"
"Ahem..." Just then, Fa Ma suddenly spoke up, "How about... we go to the Yunlan Sect and ask the Venerable One for help?"
Jia Xingtian shook his head and said, "The Venerable One only promised that if the Flame Alliance encountered a life-or-death crisis, they could go to him."
"But what's the point of asking him to come out of seclusion before the enemy has even attacked our door?"
The council chamber fell silent once more, the atmosphere somewhat oppressive.
Just then, a slightly cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Even without Chu Yang's help, what is there for our Flame Alliance to fear in a battle?"
Upon hearing this voice, everyone was stunned for a moment, then their faces lit up with joy.
Xiao Yan!
Everyone looked up and saw Xiao Yan, dressed in black robes, appear beside Xiao Li at some point, his handsome face carrying a hint of murderous intent.
“I have met the Moon Charm leader of the Snake People, and I learned everything from her.”
Xiao Yan said solemnly, "I have already contacted the Black Corner Region and Canaan Academy. The Grand Elder of the Inner Court will be here with reinforcements soon."
"As long as we can withstand the first wave of attacks from the three great empires, we can turn the tide and win!"
“This…” Jia Xingtian hesitated.
Even if you include Xiao Yan, the inner courtyard elder of Canaan Academy, and the two Dou Zong experts from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, they only have a total of five Dou Zong experts on their side.
The enemy has nine Dou Zong level fighters, not to mention Dou Wang and Dou Huang level fighters. The gap between the two sides is huge. There seems to be no chance of turning the tide!
"The key to the outcome of this war lies in the victory or defeat at the Dou Zong level."
Xiao Yan said confidently, "Since I dare to say these words, I must have a certain degree of certainty!"
Fa Ma hesitated for a moment, then tentatively suggested, "How about... we send someone to the Yunlan Sect to see if we can ask the Venerable One for help?"
"As long as he is willing to help, the losses can be minimized."
Xiao Yan glanced at him and asked in return, "Given the relationship between my Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect, even if we are currently coexisting peacefully, do you think Chu Yang would be willing to help?"
Fama thought for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Alliance Leader, I think you seem to have some misunderstanding about the Venerable One. He's actually quite easy to talk to..."
"Huh?" Xiao Yan looked completely bewildered.
Although I have been in seclusion for nearly a year, I haven't heard of any major moves by Chu Yang!
Why is it that as soon as he returned, Fa Ma, a core member of the Flame Alliance, started speaking on behalf of outsiders?
Jia Xingtian coughed lightly and said, "Alliance Leader, I think Fa Ma is right. The Venerable One has always been clear about his grudges and favors. Now that the Flame Alliance and the Cloud Mist Sect have formed an alliance, I'm sure he won't stand idly by."
Xiao Yan was even more confused. It was one thing to deal with Fa Ma, but why was Xing Tian, the ancestor of the royal family, also speaking up for Chu Yang?
“I think so too!” Nalan Jie echoed.
Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly, it seemed that some big problems had occurred in the rear during his year of seclusion!
Fortunately, it's only been a year. If it had been any longer, I'm afraid that everyone in the Yan Alliance, except for him, the leader, would have been won over by Chu Yang.
"Xiao Yan, they're right. After all, the Yunlan Sect is a sect of the Jiama Empire. When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?"
Just then, Queen Medusa, also known as Cai Lin, suddenly spoke up: "Instead of taking the risk, why not ask Chu Yang to make a move?"
Xiao Yan's eyelids twitched violently, and he suddenly had a feeling that he was being cuckolded.
"Uh... Third brother..."
Xiao Ding knew he couldn't let things continue like this, so he quickly explained, "You just got back, there are some things you don't know yet..."
As he spoke, he recounted how Chu Yang had personally visited the Yan Alliance and left behind some pills when he departed.
She also recounted how, not long ago, Nalan Yanran had bravely rescued some snake people on her way back to the Yunlan Sect.
After hearing all this, Xiao Yan finally understood what was going on. No wonder these guys were all speaking up for Chu Yang; it turned out they had all received favors from him to some extent.
Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "Even so, we cannot place all our hopes on others."
"The purpose of the Flame Alliance is to unite the forces within the empire into one, resist external enemies, and protect my family and friends, as well as those of you present here!"
"If we're going to seek help from the Yunlan Sect every time we encounter danger, then we might as well just disband the Yan Alliance on the spot!"
“Little one, don’t be impulsive…” Green Barbarian, who had been silent all along, advised.
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Miss Lü Man, I am no longer the impetuous young man I once was."
"You all probably think that I'm too proud to ask Chu Yang for help because of my old grudge against the Yunlan Sect."
"But have you ever thought about this..."
Xiao Yan paused, his expression turning serious, and continued, "What is the reason behind the sudden increase in powerful figures in the three great empires, and the recent upheavals in the Northwest region?"
Everyone was startled. Xiao Yan said in a deep voice, "I already know a lot about the Yunlan Sect. Faced with the temptation of Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills, even the top forces in the Central Continent would be tempted!"
"On the surface, they are targeting the Jia Ma Empire and the Yan Alliance, but their ultimate goal is the Yunlan Sect!"
"If we ask Chu Yang to take action now, the Flame Alliance will inevitably be placed in the eye of the storm!"
"Regardless of the outcome, this matter is unlikely to end well!" (End of Chapter)
Chapter 310 Yan's Three-Step Plan! Speculations about the Ascension Land!
Xiao Yan's words caused everyone present to frown.
They naturally knew that the Yunlan Sect's affairs would inevitably cause trouble sooner or later.
However, having already clashed with the three great empires multiple times, the newly emerged powerful figures used methods remarkably similar to those of the former Protector Wu.
Therefore, the Yan Alliance's higher-ups speculated that these people were likely from the Soul Palace and wanted to cause trouble for Xiao Yan. How did they end up involving the Yunlan Sect?
Those powerful figures who had designs on the Yunlan Sect have remained inactive since entering the Northwest Region, and none of them seem to be trying to harm the Yan Alliance!
Xiao Yan continued, "I think you've all guessed it, the extra powerhouses in the three great empires come from the Soul Palace."
"Please think about this carefully. If the Soul Palace wanted to deal with me in a big way, why did they only send Protector Wu in the first place?"
