Chapter 90: From Hope to Despair
🕑 Added 2023-06-08 16:31:15 +0000 UTCUpon hearing his father's words, Nalan Su nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Yan is indeed exceptional and has the potential to become Dou Huang-ranked powerhouse.
“With his current cultivation speed, I believe it won't be long before he reaches the Dou Wang level. Our Nalan family will have another Dou Wang powerhouse, further strengthening our influence in the Jia Ma Empire."
"Indeed!" Nalan Jie, upon hearing his son's words, nodded in agreement and said, "Xiao Yan's cultivation speed is truly remarkable. It won't be long before he reaches the Dou Wang level. His talent is truly terrifying."
Nalan Su continued, "Xiao Yan is indeed outstanding. Unfortunately, Yanran still has some reservations about him. She refuses to accept Xiao Yan and is actively trying to dissolve the marriage."
"Hmph!" Nalan Jie's previously gentle expression turned cold and grim. He snorted and said in a deep voice, "With Xiao Yan's exceptional talent, he is more than qualified to be with Nalan Yanran.”
“If she wants to dissolve the marriage, she's only dreaming. As long as I'm alive, she won't have any chance of doing so. Apart from Xiao Yan, I won't accept anyone else."
Xiao Yan's talent was too extraordinary. Not only that, he was also willing to marry into the Nalan family and become their son-in-law.
With his immense talent and limitless future prospects, it was nearly impossible to find another son-in-law like him. Yet, Nalan Yanran didn't appreciate him. It was truly ironic.
Nalan Su agreed with his father's words. Xiao Yan was indeed exceptional, practically renowned throughout the entire Jia Ma Imperial City.
If the Nalan family failed to cherish Xiao Yan, he would become a highly sought-after individual outside the family. Numerous forces would attempt to win him over.
With a marriage contract in hand, the Nalan family had gained a significant advantage. Nalan Yanran's desire to dissolve the marriage was truly baffling.
...
At this moment, Nalan Jie asked, "Have you received any news about the culprits behind the destruction of the Xiao family?"
Nalan Jie had not forgotten his promise to help Xiao Yan seek revenge.
After all, Xiao Yan had married into the Nalan family, and Nalan Jie had made a commitment to assist him in finding the culprits responsible for the destruction of the Xiao family.
He would exhaust all the resources and connections of the Nalan family to avenge Xiao Yan's grievances.
However, several years had passed, and there seemed to be no progress or any leads at all.
Nalan Jie, feeling a sudden impulse, turned to Nalan Su and inquired.
After all, Nalan Su was now the head of the Nalan family, responsible for handling many matters. Nalan Jie preferred to remain in the background as an elderly figure.
Shaking his head, Nalan Su replied, "I have utilized all the resources available to the Nalan family, but we have yet to find any clues. Even Wu Tan City has become a desolate place, and no one dares to relocate there."
Nalan Jie's expression turned serious as he looked at Nalan Su and said, "Su'er, you must prioritize this matter. Xiao Yan has brought honor to our Nalan family over these years. Seeking vengeance for Xiao Yan is also our Nalan family's responsibility!"
"I understand, father. Recently, I have contacted the other families, especially the Miteer family, and asked for their help," Nalan Su replied earnestly.
"Let's go!" Nalan Jie nodded and turned to leave. Nalan Su quickly followed.
...
On the martial arena, Xiao Yan naturally sensed the presence of Nalan Jie and his son. He overheard their conversation, but his heart remained calm. His enemy was strong and mysterious.
Apart from himself, no one knew the true appearance of his adversary. Even if he had seen him before, even Xiao Yan couldn't accurately depict the person's face.
The image of his opponent in his mind was blurred, making it impossible to recall what he looked like. However, if the person stood in front of him, Xiao Yan would still recognize him.
Therefore, Xiao Yan never expected the Nalan family to truly find and expose the "demon."
The demon was incredibly powerful, and with his own increasing strength, Xiao Yan had gained a new understanding of what it meant to be a powerful individual. The demon's strength far surpassed what the Nalan family could handle.
The Nalan family had treated him well, even though he was considered a burden as the son-in-law, Xiao Yan had never suffered any mistreatment or faced any disapproval from the Nalan family.
If possible, he didn't want to drag the Nalan family into his revenge.
As for seeking revenge, Xiao Yan would do his best. He would quietly develop his strength and eventually surprise everyone.
Despite being a Second Star Dou Ling now, it was only the surface. His true strength far surpassed that of a Second Star Dou Ling.
...
On the martial arena, apart from Xiao Yan, another figure appeared—Hun Tiandi. Hun Tiandi stood on the arena, observing Xiao Yan's diligent cultivation. Even though he was standing right in front of Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan remained unaware of his presence.
Hun Tiandi sensed a disturbance in his soul from the northwest continent.
After leaving the Soul Clan, he came to the northwest continent to investigate the source of his unease. He saved Yun Yun by chance and, upon her invitation, arrived at the Misty Cloud Sect.
The main purpose of Hun Tiandi was to see what Nalan Yanran, the one responsible for making the greatest threat to the Soul Clan, looked like.
However, after arriving at the Misty Cloud Sect, his powerful spiritual sense covered the entire Jia Ma Imperial City and discovered something interesting.
Several years ago, he had annihilated Xiao Yan, but now, he discovered that Xiao Yan was alive and was within the Jia Ma Imperial City.
When he learned that Xiao Yan was still alive, Hun Tiandi realized the source of his unease. It was none other than Xiao Yan.
Hun Tiandi couldn't imagine how a trash at the Qi Gathering stage, whom he had wiped out as a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, could come back to life.
What went wrong in the process? His soul was gone, and yet, Xiao Yan appeared in front of him once again.
If it hadn't been seen with his own eyes, Hun Tiandi would find it hard to believe that Xiao Yan had really came back to life.
...
Hun Tiandi took a step forward, and the surroundings underwent a drastic change. The martial arena disappeared, the Nalan family vanished, and even the sky disappeared. Everything turned into a chaotic void.
There was no sky, no land, nothing. Just emptiness.
"Where is this?" Xiao Yan looked around in confusion.
In his mind, he had three consecutive bewildered questions: Who am I? Where am I? What's happening?
"Could this be the cheat of the parallel world I obtained when I crossed over?" Xiao Yan muttered as he looked at the surroundings.
Although he had lived on the Dou Qi continent for more than ten years, he didn't forget that he was a transmigrator who had come from the beautiful Blue Star.
Just as Xiao Yan was lost in his thoughts, thinking that he had awakened a cheat that would lead him to the pinnacle of life, a thought from Hun Tiandi descended into this void space.
