Chapter 12 Just based on Xiao Yan? How is that possible?
Xiao Yan walked out of the room; it was already broad daylight.
The courtyard was quiet, with only a few birds chirping from afar.
He stretched and was about to find a place to cultivate when he heard footsteps behind him.
"Yan'er".
Xiao Zhan walked over from the other end of the corridor.
Xiao Yan turned around and looked at Xiao Zhan. "Father."
Xiao Zhan walked up to him, hesitating to speak.
"Is something wrong, Father?" Xiao Yan asked.
Xiao Zhan was silent for a moment before speaking, "Yan'er, your strength... why has it improved so quickly?"
Xiao Yan remained silent.
Seeing that he wouldn't say anything, Xiao Zhan didn't press him further.
"Fine, I won't ask if you don't want to tell me," Xiao Zhan said. "Father is just worried about you."
"I understand," Xiao Yan said.
"The elders have come to see me again," Xiao Zhan said. "They still have the same idea: they want you to go to the Yunlan Sect to apologize."
Xiao Yan frowned.
"I've already refused," Xiao Zhan said, "but they won't give up and keep pressuring me."
"Father, don't worry," Xiao Yan said. "I will handle this matter."
Xiao Zhan looked at him and sighed.
"Yan'er, you are not alone," Xiao Zhan said. "If there's anything, tell your father."
Xiao Yan nodded.
Xiao Zhan patted him on the shoulder, and he turned and left.
Xiao Zhan's residence.
As soon as Xiao Zhan stepped inside, he saw the three elders already seated inside.
The elder sat in his chair, his expression not very good.
The second and third elders sat on either side, their expressions also quite unpleasant.
Xiao Zhan's face darkened.
"Elders, you've come again?"
"Xiao Zhan, sit down, let's have a good talk," the Grand Elder said.
Xiao Zhan walked to the main seat and sat down, looking at them.
"What are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about Xiao Yan," the First Elder said. "He killed the Fourth Elder, and the Yunlan Sect won't let this go."
"I've already said I'll handle Yan'er's matter," Xiao Zhan said.
"What will you do?" the Grand Elder asked. "If the Yunlan Sect attacks, what will you use to defend yourself?"
Xiao Zhan remained silent.
"Xiao Zhan, don't make any more mistakes," the Second Elder said. "Xiao Yan killed an elder of the Yunlan Sect; this cannot be kept secret."
"The Yunlan Sect will retaliate sooner or later," the Third Elder said. "When that happens, our entire Xiao family will suffer."
"So what do you want?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"Hand Xiao Yan over," the First Elder said. "He brought this trouble upon himself, so he should bear the consequences."
"Impossible," Xiao Zhan said.
"Xiao Zhan!" The Grand Elder slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
"I said it's impossible." Xiao Zhan also stood up. "Yan'er is my son, and no one can touch him."
"You!" the elder roared in fury.
"Elder, you don't need to say anymore," Xiao Zhan interrupted him. "My mind is made up about this matter."
"Xiao Zhan, you will bring ruin to the Xiao family," the Second Elder said.
"That's my business," Xiao Zhan said.
"You are the clan leader, your affairs are the affairs of the Xiao family," the Third Elder said.
Xiao Zhan looked at them and said coldly, "If the elders have nothing else to say, please leave."
The elder was so angry that he trembled all over.
"Good, good, good." The elder said "good" three times in a row. "Xiao Zhan, remember what you said today. If anything happens to the Xiao family in the future, you will be a sinner."
After saying this, the elder turned and left.
The second and third elders exchanged a glance, and then followed.
Xiao Zhan stood there, his face extremely pale.
yard.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the ground, cultivating.
The fighting spirit within his body flowed through his meridians, again and again.
He opened his eyes after an unknown amount of time.
A significant amount of battle qi within his body was consumed.
Xiao Yan took out a pill from his storage ring and put it in his mouth.
As the pill entered his stomach, a gentle medicinal power spread throughout his body.
The consumed battle qi is quickly replenished.
[The host has helped Xiao Yan recover his Dou Qi and has received a reward.]
[Alchemist Level Upgraded: Rank 6 Alchemist.]
A massive influx of information flooded into Xiao Yan's mind.
Countless pill formulas, alchemy techniques, and flame control skills flooded into his memory.
A sixth-rank alchemist.
Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly.
In the Gama Empire, a sixth-grade alchemist is already at the top, and there are only a handful of sixth-grade alchemists in the entire Gama Empire.
Xiao Yan is only fifteen years old this year, but he is already a sixth-grade alchemist.
If this news gets out, the entire Gama Empire will be shaken.
[Host's alchemy level has increased, unlocking a new pill formula: Grade 6 Breakthrough Pill.]
[Breakthrough Pill Effects: After consumption, it can break through cultivation bottlenecks and increase the success rate of breakthroughs.]
Xiao Yan was overjoyed.
Breakthrough Pill, that's a good thing.
The bottleneck in cultivation is the most troublesome thing, but with the Breakthrough Pill, the success rate of breaking through will be greatly improved.
However, refining the Breakthrough Pill requires a considerable amount of Grade 6 medicinal herbs, which are quite expensive.
After considering his options, Xiao Yan decided to go to the Mittel Auction House.
He stood up, dusted himself off, and walked outside.
Outside the Xiao family gate.
As soon as Xiao Yan stepped out, he heard several voices discussing something ahead.
"Have you heard? Xiao Yan killed an elder of the Yunlan Sect."
"I heard about it. Apparently, two people were killed, a deacon and an elder."
"Impossible! Isn't Xiao Yan a good-for-nothing? How could he kill an elder of the Yunlan Sect?"
"Who knows? That's what people are saying."
"I think it's fake. How could Xiao Yan, a piece of trash with only three stages of Dou Qi, kill an elder of the Yunlan Sect?"
"Exactly, what's the strength of the elders of the Yunlan Sect? They must be at least Great Dou Masters, right?"
"Not only that, I heard that the Fourth Elder is a Dou Wang level expert."
"A Dou Wang? That's even more impossible. How could a piece of trash like Xiao Yan possibly kill a Dou Wang?"
Xiao Yan stopped and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Several people were standing on the side of the street talking, and the one in the lead was a young man.
He was dressed in fine clothes, with a disdainful smile on his face.
Galeo, the young master of the Galeo family.
Several subordinates stood beside Galeo, bowing and scraping.
"Young Master is right. How could that good-for-nothing Xiao Yan possibly kill a Dou Wang expert?" a subordinate said.
"Exactly, it's definitely a rumor," another subordinate said. "That Xiao Yan isn't even worthy of carrying our young master's shoes."
Galeo chuckled. "You're right, Xiao Yan is a good-for-nothing. I used to think highly of him when he was a genius, but now? Heh."
Galeo sneered, his face full of disdain.
"Young Master, I heard that Xiao Yan has divorced Nalan Yanran," a subordinate said.
"I've heard about it," Galeo said. "A good-for-nothing like Xiao Yan divorced the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect. What a joke! Who is Nalan Yanran? What right does that good-for-nothing Xiao Yan have to divorce her?"
"Young Master is right," the subordinate echoed.
Just as Galeo was about to continue speaking, he looked up and saw Xiao Yan standing at the door.
Galeo's smile froze on his face.
Several subordinates also saw Xiao Yan, and their expressions changed.
Xiao Yan looked at Jia Lie'ao, his face expressionless.
Galeo snapped out of his daze, his face turning somewhat grim.
"Xiao Yan, what... what are you doing here?"
Xiao Yan did not answer; he simply looked at Galeo.
Galeo felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, but he didn't want to back down in front of his subordinates.
"Xiao Yan, I heard you killed an elder of the Yunlan Sect," Galeo said. "Is it true?"
"None of your business?" Xiao Yan said indifferently.
Galeo's face stiffened.
