Upon arriving at Dragon Tiger Mountain, Xu Fengnian inquired about the Xuanyuan family from Zhao Xibao.
After some time, Xuanyuan Jingcheng came to Dragon Tiger Mountain seeking Xu Fengnian's help and spoke of his wife's past connection with Xu Fengnian's mother.
Xuanyuan Jingcheng wished to kill Xuanyuan Dapan at any cost, allowing Xuanyuan Qingfeng to successfully take over Huishan. However, Xuanyuan Qingfeng's foundation was insufficient, and she needed Xu Fengnian's assistance.
Xu Fengnian, naturally, agreed, as he intended to win over the Xuanyuan clan.
Later, Zhou Yan also saw the signal in the sky, knowing it was Xuanyuan Qingfeng calling for help. He surmised that Xuanyuan Qingfeng now understood she was sent to Xuanyuan Dapan not to become a direct disciple, but to bear him children.
Xu Fengnian looked at Zhou Yan and asked, "How about we go to Huishan together?"
"Alright." Zhou Yan had already planned to go to the mountain.
Subsequently, Xu Fengnian led Zhou Yan, Li Chungang, Qingniao, Ning Emei, and others towards Huishan. However, Xuanyuan Jingyi, Xuanyuan Jingcheng's second brother, learned of Xu Fengnian's group's arrival at Huishan and, along with his retainers, guarded the foot of the mountain to prevent them from ascending.
At this moment, it began to rain again.
Zhou Yan looked at them and said disdainfully, "If I wish to ascend this mountain, can any of you stop me?"
"Such an arrogant tone!"
Just as both sides were about to engage, Xuanyuan Qingfeng arrived and announced, "The Ancestor invites the Young Master to Gu Niu Mountain."
"Are you speaking the truth?" Xuanyuan Jingyi was somewhat suspicious.
"How would I dare to deceive you, Second Uncle?" Xuanyuan Qingfeng replied. Great Wind Novel Network
Xuanyuan Jingyi thought about it and felt that for such a significant matter, the other party would not dare to lie to him, so he let it go.
Afterward, Xu Fengnian and his party ascended the mountain. However, when Xuanyuan Qingfeng saw Zhou Yan, she asked, "Do you still stand by your words from before?"
"As long as you wish to leave, I can even help you kill Xuanyuan Dapan," Zhou Yan said confidently.
Xuanyuan Jingcheng was a great father and a man of immense forbearance.
Twenty years of humiliation, a lifetime of study, all for his wife and daughter!
That declaration, "Xuanyuan Jingcheng invites the Ancestor to his death!" was so commanding!
How could a scholar who dared to shake heaven and earth be considered timid!
To achieve the Heaven's Phenomena realm through reading, such a person should not be underestimated!
Zhou Yan also felt that such a figure truly deserved not to die, but he would not help Xuanyuan Qingfeng for nothing unless she agreed to leave with him.
"Alright, I promise you. But can you truly kill Xuanyuan Dapan? If you can kill him, I will go with you!" Xuanyuan Qingfeng replied.
"No problem!"
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Jingyi scoffed, "With you, a mere fledgling, daring to dream of killing the Ancestor!"
"Whoosh!"
Zhou Yan released Duan Yun and struck with his sword, instantly killing Xuanyuan Jingyi. Xuanyuan Qingfeng watched in stunned silence, "How could you kill him?"
"I am helping your father clear obstacles. From now on, Xuanyuan and Beiliang will form an alliance and advance together," Zhou Yan stated.
"Can it be done?" Xu Fengnian looked at Zhou Yan.
"Rest assured, I will let you witness my strength firsthand. Let's head to Gu Niu Mountain and confront that shameless old scoundrel," Zhou Yan said.
"Haha, well said, let's go confront that shameless old scoundrel." Xu Fengnian also laughed.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng could only trust Zhou Yan now. Coupled with her knowledge that her father had been protecting her all these years, she felt ashamed and did not wish for her father to die.
They quickly ascended the mountain and soon arrived at Gu Niu Mountain, witnessing the scene of Xuanyuan Jingcheng battling Xuanyuan Dapan. However, Xuanyuan Jingcheng was no match for Xuanyuan Dapan and was struck down by a palm.
Seeing Li Chungang, Xuanyuan Dapan laughed heartily, "So the Sword God has also arrived. After I deal with this brat, I will fight you."
Li Chungang smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't survive long enough for me to make a move." He then glanced at Zhou Yan.
Their battle had just begun. Xuanyuan Jingcheng intended to sacrifice his life to achieve a fleeting moment of celestial realm power to kill Xuanyuan Dapan.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng quickly looked at Zhou Yan and asked, "Didn't you say you could defeat Xuanyuan Dapan?"
"Fine." Zhou Yan walked towards Xuanyuan Dapan and declared, "You shameless wretch, I find you extremely displeasing, so today I will kill you."
Xuanyuan Dapan looked at Zhou Yan and suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, what a joke. You little brat, dare to boast so wildly."
Then, Xuanyuan Dapan casually unleashed an attack, condensing a terrifying surge of power towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan smiled, held his sword with one hand, condensed an unparalleled sword energy, and severed it.
Xuanyuan Dapan was greatly astonished. Although it was a casual strike, not everyone could withstand it.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he said, "Truly surprising. At your age, you've actually reached the Heaven's Phenomena realm!"
Shaking his head, Zhou Yan replied, "I have not entered the Heaven's Phenomena realm, but killing you is more than enough."
Xuanyuan Jingcheng looked at Zhou Yan and said, "Young friend, this matter has nothing to do with you. Please leave. Xuanyuan Dapan, I will handle him."
"Even if you can kill him, you will die yourself. Let me do it instead. Speaking of which, in this world, there are very few people who can make me unleash my full power."
Previously, against Wang Xianzhi, they had only exchanged a single blow. Later, with Li Chungang, it was merely a sparring session, and he had not used his full strength.
However, facing this shameless scoundrel Xuanyuan Dapan, Zhou Yan felt no need to hold back and could unleash all his methods.
After speaking, Zhou Yan channeled a surge of spiritual energy and directly pushed Xuanyuan Jingcheng towards Xuanyuan Qingfeng.
Xuanyuan Dapan frowned and asked, "Why are you helping them? What do you desire? As long as I, Xuanyuan Dapan, can provide it, I will give it to you."
"You desire Xuanyuan Qingfeng. Coincidentally, I fancy her as well. So, there's no room for negotiation." Zhou Yan replied.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Qingfeng behind him blushed slightly, not expecting Zhou Yan to say such a thing.
Xuanyuan Jingcheng was still shocked by Zhou Yan's abilities and asked, "Who is this Zhou Yan?"
"He is my brother, Xu Fengnian," Xu Fengnian quickly interjected, also admiring Zhou Yan's boldness.
"How strong is his cultivation?" Xuanyuan Jingcheng asked with great curiosity.
"This, I am not entirely sure," Xu Fengnian admitted. He too was eager to know but truly did not.
"No need to guess. I cannot defeat this brat either," Li Chungang stated.
"You are the Sword God Li Chungang, and you cannot defeat him? Heavens, he is too terrifying!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was greatly shocked. No one had expected that Zhou Yan could even make Li Chungang helpless, no wonder he dared to challenge Xuanyuan Dapan.
