Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Another Shift in the World Line

    ?

    In the instant that everyone was stunned, Xiao Yan explosively shot out from the crowded hall and flew in the direction of the shattered ice wall.

    ''A Dou King? No, that''s a rare flying-type Dou Technique.'' Nalan Yanran looked deeply at Xiao Yan as he flew away, her fingers clenched so tightly that they had turned white.

    At this moment, where Hai Bodong was located, a figure in green exchanged a palm strike with him. Hai Bodong was forced to take several steps back, while the figure swiftly extended his arms and scooped up the stunned Qing Lin into their embrace.

    Hai Bodong''s expression turned grave as he stared at the green figure not far away. Since when had another elite Dou Emperor appeared in the Jia Ma Empire?!!

    The green figure grabbed Qing Lin and, with a light push off the ground, a pair of green wings sprouted as they attempted to make a rapid escape.

    "Trying to leave?"

    A shout rang out. Hai Bodong''s hands rapidly formed seals. Instantly, a chilling aura surged as huge ice coffins descended from the sky one after another, smashing ferociously toward the green figure.

    The green figure''s wings fluttered as they dodged left and right but couldn''t completely avoid them all. Somewhat helplessly, they shot backwards, deflecting one ice coffin with a palm strike before nimbly leaping onto a nearby rooftop.

    It was only when the figure stood still that her appearance became clear. It turned out to be a woman dressed in green. Though a green veil concealed her face, the exquisite curves beneath her clothing hinted that her looks might not be lacking.

    The woman in green glanced at Hai Bodong standing on the ground and giggled, "Oh my, I really didn''t expect a Dou Emperor to appear here. But I''m quite interested in this little girl. I''m afraid I can''t give her to you."

    "Let me go!" Qing Lin struggled continuously, but with only the strength of a Dou Practitioner, how could she possibly break free from the grasp of a Dou Emperor?

    "Be good. I have no intention of harming you. Your talent can only truly blossom in our Sky Serpent Mansion."

    The mysterious woman in green gently flicked her delicate hand against Qing Lin''s forehead. Immediately, the struggling girl fell unconscious.

    "Release Qing Lin!!" A gust of wind surged as Xiao Yan tightly gripped the Heavy Xuan Ruler. The Flame Splitting Tsunami was chopped down viciously.

    The woman in green merely smiled faintly as she saw Xiao Yan''s full-power Flame Splitting Tsunami attack coming down. With a single-handed seal, a green energy shield materialized and effortlessly blocked his attack.

    The woman in green smiled softly and looked up at Hai Bodong as she gently stroked Qing Lin''s small face. As for Xiao Yan, who was only a Dou Grandmaster, she completely ignored him.

    Smiling, she said, "Had I known a Dou Emperor would show up, I would have acted sooner. That so-called transplantation technique of the Mo Clan isn''t as miraculous as I thought. I secretly learned a bit of it, and it turns out it wasn''t worth the effort."

    "Who are you? Why are you trying to abduct Qing Lin?" Xiao Yan stared at the green-clad woman''s actions, his eyes narrowing as he coldly demanded.

    The woman in green''s face alternated between dark and unsettled expressions. She bit her tongue to activate a secret technique. In an instant, she unexpectedly traversed a segment of the empty space and appeared a hundred meters away, breaking through their encirclement. Then she spread her wings and rapidly soared toward the horizon.

    "A Spatial Secret Technique?! After her!"

    Xiao Yan immediately spread out his wings like a great roc and soared into the sky in pursuit

    of the green figure.

    Meanwhile, Nalan Yanran who was still in the hall had her eyes fixed on Xiao Yan flying into the distance. At this moment, who knew what she was thinking in her heart. "Yanran... why don''t we just forget about that three-year agreement? We can find another way to deal with the marriage arrangement," Ge Ye tried to persuade as he walked over to her

    side.

    Although Xiao Yan''s cultivation was only at the 3-star Dou Grandmaster stage, the same as Nalan Yanran''s, and the 5th-tier Purple Crystal Pill provided by Gu He could allow her to

    cultivate twice as effectively within a year...

    But this wasn''t just a matter of cultivation level!

    Xiao Yan was a complete cultivation deceiver! His actual strength definitely reached the high-

    star Dou Spirit stage, and the Dou Techniques he cultivated were ridiculously powerful!

    "I have spent these past three years training with my Master, delving into a secret realm, venturing alone into the Magic Beast Mountain Range to temper myself, following my grandfather to the borders to fight and kill enemies... all for the sake of defeating him after three years." Nalan Yanran spoke in a flat tone, as if these experiences belonged to someone

    else.

    Ge Ye fell silent for a moment. Nalan Yanran''s progress over the past three years was not merely due to the medicinal pills that enhanced her strength; she had also put in a tremendous amount of effort herself. Moreover, her talent was originally high to begin with.

    Although Mo Li had claimed that his strength was on par with Nalan Yanran''s, that was just him flattering himself because their cultivation levels were the same. Their actual combat power was not even in the same league.

    Looking at where Xiao Yan had disappeared into the distance, Nalan Yanran made a decision beyond anyone''s imagination.

    "Uncle Ge, I want to enter the Gate of Life and Death."

    It was precisely this decision by Nalan Yanran that caused the world line to deviate once again.

    No one could have predicted at this moment that the secrets of the Misty Cloud Sect would later lead to a major turning point in Xiao Yan''s life!
