Chapter 242: If We Can't Negotiate, Let's Fight

A powerful pressure, which Xiao Yan had felt some time ago, spread out from the depths of the Misty Cloud Mountain and finally filled the square.

In the square, all the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect could not contain the astonishment in their hearts and knelt towards the place where the aura came from, while Yun Leng and the Elders of the Misty Cloud Sect did not kneel, but bowed respectfully.

"This aura..." Nalan Yanran looked into the depths of the mountain with her beautiful eyes, and a hint of surprise appeared on her pretty face. She hadn't expected that today's incident would alert the Former Sect Leader, who had long been in seclusion, to come out.

'Damn it, I didn't expect the Misty Cloud Sect to actually have a powerful Dou Ancestor!'

Xiao Yan's face was incomparably shocked, the white-clothed demented woman beside Xiao Ming had pressed him with her aura some time ago, so he could be sure that this aura was undoubtedly that of a Dou Ancestor.

'Huff, it's fortunate that we ran into that cousin of yours, otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to leave this time without help, it's hard to tell if the Snake-People Tribe will intervene, and it would be hard for me alone to get you out of the heavily guarded Misty Cloud Mountain.'

Yao Lao's tone was serious, as he also did not expect the Misty Cloud Sect to really have a Dou Ancestor powerhouse, the Misty Cloud Sect usually hid too deeply, if it was any other more aggressive Sect, the Jia Ma Imperial Family would have too long ago ceased to exist, this really had to do with the Misty Cloud Sect's habit of aloofness.

'When you find the opportunity later, you must sneak away, so that there will be no more accidents.'

As the two discussed via sound transmission, the majestic aura emanating from the depths of Misty Cloud Mountain grew stronger and stronger, until finally, a clear whistling sound was heard in the sky, and under the gaze of countless people, a white shadow suddenly emerged and then walked in the void, slowly approaching the Misty Cloud Sect's square.

The white shadow did not summon its Dou Qi wings, but the speed at which it stepped into the void was not slow at all. Every time its footsteps landed, the void rippled, and when the ripples dissipated, the figure had already appeared hundreds of meters away.

After a few steps like this, in just a few moments, the figure appeared on top of the stone monument in the center of the square.

The appearance of this white shadow was a much more shocking scene than when Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian appeared, as the two appeared very calmly and did not exude such strong and oppressive powerful pressure.

The white shadow floated in the sky, dressed in a set of extremely simple white robes, the breeze fluttered the robes, giving him an ethereal atmosphere, his age did not seem very old, and his face did not have the wrinkles that an old man should have, instead, it was a rather smooth face. It was difficult to believe that he was of the same age as Hai Bodong. However, the expressions on the disciples' faces below confirmed that the man was Yun Shan, the former sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Yun Leng, explain to me what's going on, I told you not to disturb my meditation if it's not an extremely important matter." Yun Shan turned his gaze to Yun Leng below and said indifferently.

"Master, it is better for me to explain it to you." Yun Yun and Gu He flew next to Yun Shan and saluted.

Yun Shan nodded slightly.

Without much effort, Yun Yun explained the intricacies to him in two or three sentences.

After listening to Yun Yun's explanation, Yun Shan nodded once more to indicate that he understood, then ignored Xiao Yan and instead turned to where Xiao Ming was standing and smiled slightly.

"Master Xiao Ming, I've heard a lot about you!"

"Sect Leader Yun Shan, it's a pleasure to meet you." Seeing that the other party was so polite, Xiao Ming nodded slightly.

"Master Xiao Ming, you are a person I respect very much, and I would like to thank you for your previous rescue of our Sect Leader Yun Yun. However, that's not a horse of the same color, I think your Xiao family member, Xiao Yan, should provide an explanation regarding the ambush on our Guest Elder Gu He in order to seize the Heavenly Flame from him..."

Saying this, Yun Shan was calm on the surface, but in fact, inwardly he felt very uncomfortable.

Xiao Ming had always been a target of attraction for his Misty Cloud Sect, and he didn't want to offend him.

However, they couldn't ignore the fact that Gu He was their own, and it was impossible for them not to help.

If they let others attack their own members at will and did nothing, who would dare to serve the Sect in the future? Wouldn't that chill people's hearts? "An explanation, what kind of explanation do you want? "Hearing these words, Xiao Ming asked rhetorically.

He also knew that Xiao Yan was the one who was wrong in this matter, however, there was nothing he could do about it, he had already promised to protect Xiao Yan, and he could not hand over Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flame to the Misty Cloud Sect, what was promised had to be done.

If possible, Xiao Ming preferred not to get involved in Xiao Yan's affairs in the future. He knew that Xiao Yan had a tendency to attract trouble, and the enemies he made were not easy to deal with. Xiao Ming didn't want to wipe his ass all the time.

For now, he could not give in to the Misty Cloud Sect, however, the Sect had also always treated him with a lot of respect and given him quite a few good things, and telling Yun Shan afterwards that he had a problem with his soul would be a small way to make it up to them.

Hearing Xiao Ming's rhetorical question, Yun Shan frowned slightly and said nothing, instead, he turned his gaze towards Gu He.

Seeing this, Gu He also understood Yun Shan's meaning - asking him to negotiate his own terms.

"Xiao Yan ambushed me earlier, almost killed me, and seized my Heavenly Flame. I know it is unrealistic to kill Xiao Yan, so I will not make any further demands, how about if he returns the Heavenly Flame he seized from me and apologizes to me? In this way, the matter will be settled."

Was this request excessive? Not really, however, the possibility of retrieving the Heavenly Flame from Xiao Yan was almost nil.

Xiao Ming turned his gaze to Xiao Yan.

Only to see him shake his head as he said, "Impossible! I didn't do anything of that kind!"

Heavenly Flame was the key to the evolution of his Flame Mantra, so how could he just give it away like that?

Moreover, the sneak attack on Gu He had been done by him with the help of Yao Lao's power, and the apology was definitely meant to draw Yao Lao out, which was also impossible.

Seeing that the matter had reached this point and Xiao Yan was still denying it, even Yun Shan could not help but feel a little indignant. It was obvious that Xiao Yan had committed the offense, yet he still refused to admit it. Did he think that his Misty Cloud Sect did not dare to do anything to him, hence his unyielding attitude?

Seeing that Xiao Ming had no intention of giving a statement either...

"The reputation that the Misty Cloud Sect has accumulated over so many generations cannot be lost in my hands, since you don't want to give an explanation, then let's settle this another way."

With a sigh, Yun Shan stopped speaking and his body slowly soared into the air without warning, the surging energy, surprisingly, caused the surrounding void to tremble slightly.
