Chapter 22: Tragic Xiao Yan
Yunlan Sect, the most powerful force in the Gamma Empire, has been passed down from generation to generation, and this ancient sect has stood at the top of the Gama Empire, if it weren't for the sect's canonical rules, you can't seize the power of the emperor, I'm afraid, in the previous several imperial dynasty changes, Yunlan Sect was completely in control of the entire Gama Empire.
And because of this, the royal family of each generation of the empire is extremely jealous of this behemoth that is close at hand, and when it comes to the current Gama royal family, because of the guardian of Jiaxingtian and the protection of the mysterious beast, the royal family of this generation finally has some strength that can make the Yunlan Sect a little jealous, so the elite legion sent by the Gama royal family at the foot of Yunlan Mountain has been safe.
The purpose of the royal army's legion stationed here for many years was clear to almost anyone, they were guarding against the Yunlan Sect
For this kind of behavior of the royal family, the Yunlan Sect did not have too drastic reactions, except for some young disciples in the sect who were a little angry at the beginning and went to the military camp to occasionally make trouble, the high-level members of the sect remained silent about this matter, because they also knew that next to the couch, how could they allow others to sleep, and the emperor's family was more suspicious of this, they had long been accustomed to it, as long as the Yunlan Sect did not collapse for a day, then the legion at the foot of the mountain would never dare to have the slightest movement.
No dynasty of the Gama Empire dared to really make a move against the Yunlan Sect, because they all knew clearly that this super hornet's nest, with one stab, would turn the sky upside down
The Yunlan Sect was built on the Yunlan Mountain, and the Yunlan Mountain was only a few dozen miles away from the imperial capital, and the two were very close to each other, like two behemoths fighting each other.
Although Xiao Yan had been waiting for this day for three years, he did not use the Purple Cloud Wing to hurry away, but instead walked unhurriedly, walking towards the snow-white mountain peak that reached into the sky at the end of his sight, wearing a black robe and carrying a huge ruler, like an ascetic.
On the smooth road, the young man in a black robe walked slowly, the huge black ruler behind him was extremely eye-catching, in the road, on the occasional carriages and horses, there would be a series of surprised eyes, and for these eyes, Xiao Yan was unheard, the footsteps were not light or heavy, even if the weight of the heavy ruler was enough to make anyone who came into contact with the first year feel shocked, but after two years of contact, Xiao Yan was already very familiar with its weight, so he was carried on the road, almost without any delay, where he landed, It only left a shallow footprint, and there was no scene of embarrassment when he landed in a deep pit.
One step at a time. No hurry, no delay. Although it is thin. But it is eye-catching calm and free.
This time I walked quietly. For Xiao Yan. It's not useless. At the beginning of the city gates. That's because he just broke through the Great Dou Division not long ago. The slightest breath always overflows from the body. The surrounding passers-by involuntarily stayed away from Xiao Yan's side. The breath was oppressive. It's not that these fighters or even fighters are not on the ground, and passers-by can resist the ground.
All the way. Up to now. Xiao Yan's body was overflowing with breath. It has invaded the depths of the body in a trace. Look again. Except for the giant ruler behind it. There are no more anomalous people.
When the sun broke through the shackles of the horizon and slowly rose high into the sky. Xiao Yan finally stopped. Standing on a slope. Look at the foot of the huge mountain at the end of the sight. It is located at the foot of the mountain. Huge military camp. Undulating on flat grass. Look through the white tents. Some of the soldiers in practice could be faintly seen.
"Sure enough, as others say. The royal family of Gama is under the Yunlan Mountain. Elite legions are stationed" retracted gaze. Xiao Yan shook his head. Row down the ramp. Follow the main road. Walk slowly towards the foot of the mountain.
Although the military camp here was extremely well defended, there was no obstruction to those passers-by who wanted to go up the mountain, so Xiao Yan was just casually glanced around by a few soldiers standing guard on the side of the road, and then climbed up the foot of the mountain along the avenue very easily.
As the lush color began to appear on both sides, the sound of soldier drills in his ears gradually dissipated, and he raised his head slightly, appearing in front of Xiao Yan, and it was the bluestone steps that spread to the end of his sight, at a glance, it was like a ladder to the sky.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yan looked up at the ancient stone steps that I don't know how many years it has existed, his eyes slowly closed, and faintly, there seemed to be a subtle sound of swords, from the end of the stone steps, crisply descended, and quietly echoed in the mountains and forests, like a bell, which was intoxicating.
The silence lasted for a long time, Xiao Yan opened his eyes, patted the Xuanzhong ruler behind him, stepped lightly, and finally landed firmly on the slightly moist ancient stone steps.
The moment his footsteps fell to the ground, Xiao Yan could sense that his soul seemed to be spitting out a breath that had been suppressed for three years at this moment.
Three years ago, with a kind of shame and resentment that seems to be quite reckless and naïve, the young man left home, went into the mountains, broke into the desert, swords and blood fire, like a chrysalis, quickly transformed himself, three years, grinding away the immaturity, but also witnessed the growth, but all this pay, are for today's agreement!
There was an inexplicable emotion in his chest, but Xiao Yan's footsteps still maintained such an even speed, his eyes locked directly on the end of the stone steps that jumped one by one, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the spatial barrier and shoot at the woman sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain...
"Nalan Yanran... The mouth moved slightly, and the name of the calm and with some other emotions quietly came out of Xiao Yan's mouth and spit it out.
At the end of the long stone steps, the clouds and mist are shrouded, after the clouds, there is a huge square, the square is completely paved with the same color of boulders, it looks simple and atmospheric, in the center of the square, the huge stone tablet stands majestically, on the stone tablet, it records the lives of the successive sect masters of the Yunlan Sect and the people who have made great contributions to the sect.
Looking around the square, at this time, there are nearly a thousand people sitting in it, these people, sitting in a semicircle, without exception, all dressed in moon-white robes, at the cuffs, the cloud long sword, fluttering in the wind, like a living thing, faintly puffed with a little weak sword intent.
