Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Is This All You''ve Achieved in Three Years?

    ?

    "Big Sister Nalan, yesterday it was him..." Ling Lin hid behind Nalan Yanran and quietly tattled.

    The moment she saw Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran had already guessed that only he would dare to be so ruthless. After all, even she, the direct disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect''s Sect Leader, had two fingers broken by him.

    This guy did not know how to show mercy at all.

    Xiao Yan could naturally hear what Ling Lin was saying. He glanced at her and casually remarked, "Someone made the first move. The fact that I didn''t truly retaliate was already giving her face."

    "You!"

    "Hmm?!" Xiao Yan''s brows furrowed, immediately frightening Ling Lin into shrinking back, not daring to utter another word.

    "Junior Sister Yanran, I sincerely apologize. Our clan has been busy these past couple of days, and we almost neglected our esteemed guests." Just then, a clear, bright laugh suddenly rang out from outside the main entrance. Following that, a rather handsome young man walked in with a beaming smile and addressed Nalan Yanran with great familiarity.

    Xiao Yan glanced at the young man''s grinning face and quickly surmised that this must be one of Nalan Yanran''s suitors.

    "Senior Brother Mo Li is too polite." Nalan Yanran nodded, her smile reserved. She didn''t soften her expression despite the burning gaze in the young man''s eyes.

    A brief flash of disappointment flashed through the eyes of the young man named Mo Li when he noticed her lukewarm smile.

    Although they had known each other for several years, she still didn''t seem to have any special feelings for him, which made him feel somewhat disheartened.

    Then he smiled and said, "Junior Sister Yanran, why don''t you come with me to the Mo Clan? It''s on the way anyway."

    Nalan Yanran hesitated slightly upon hearing this. She glanced at Ge Ye, then cast a deep look at Xiao Yan before nodding.

    Noticing her gaze, Mo Li turned to Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong and asked, "And who might these two be?"

    Ge Ye quickly replied, "They are friends of mine and Yanran''s who are also here to offer birthday congratulations."

    "Oh, I see. In that case, let''s go together," Mo Li invited.

    Hai Bodong felt a little strange inside. After all, Xiao Yan wasn''t here to offer congratulations, but to offer incense at Mo Cheng''s memorial!

    Wasn''t this akin to inviting a wolf into the house?

    However, Xiao Yan did not refuse. Since someone was willing to lead him into the Mo Clan, he couldn''t be bothered to sneak in anymore.

    Before long, the group arrived at the Mo Clan headquarters in a carriage.

    The Mo Clan truly lived up to its reputation as the most powerful clan in the eastern province of the Jia Ma Empire. The heavily fortified fortress alone must have cost an immense amount of money to build.

    Xiao Yan used his Spiritual Strength to scan the fortress from above. He sensed at least a dozen surveillance points covering the entire area with no blind spots. If anyone tried to fly in from the air, the countless hidden arrows would likely instantly turn the intruder into a pincushion.

    But never in a million years did they expect the reality to be entirely different.

    Mo Cheng gave Mo Li a meaningful look, and he immediately understood. He stepped in front

    of Nalan Yanran, drew his sword, and said, "Xiao Yan, you are not qualified to challenge

    Yanran!"

    "Me, challenge her?" Xiao Yan found this almost laughable. Had the rumors really gotten that wild?

    With a buzzing sound, Mo Li circulated his Dou Qi and instantly covered his entire body with Dou Qi Armor. The aura of a 3-star Dou Grandmaster erupted as he pointed his sword at Xiao Yan and declared, "My strength is on par with Yanran''s. If you want to challenge her, you''ll

    have to get past me first!"

    Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Nalan Yanran standing to the side. Because there was something on her body blocking his Spiritual Strength from probing, he didn''t know her

    exact cultivation level.

    "Your strength is on par with hers?"

    "That''s right!"

    "Interesting."

    Xiao Yan stroked his chin and looked at Mo Cheng, "Don''t say I didn''t give you a chance.

    Before I get bored with this situation, if you bring Qing Lin here, I''ll spare your Mo Clan. Otherwise, your joyous occasion will turn into a funeral today."

    Mo Cheng''s eyes turned cold as he replied with a sinister tone, "Regardless of who you are, the Mo Clan is not a place where you can run wild!"

    Xiao Yan shook his head. It seemed this person was the type who wouldn''t shed tears until he

    saw the coffin.

    He slowly sat down, picked up a cup of hot tea from the table, and took a leisurely sip. In a calm voice, he said, "Before the tea cools is your Mo Clan''s last chance."

    A flash of murderous intent crossed Mo Li''s eyes when he saw Xiao Yan blatantly ignoring

    him. Regardless of whether the engagement had been annulled or not, Xiao Yan''s title as Nalan Yanran''s fiance? made his blood boil, making him feel as if he had been cuckolded.

    "You''ll pay for this! Green Wood Sword!!"

    Mo Li''s figure shot forward, his long sword transforming into a verdant light that thrust straight at Xiao Yan''s throat. He had no intention of sparring but wanted to kill Xiao Yan! "That''s the Misty Cloud Sect''s Xuan Class Dou Technique, the Green Wood Sword!" "Mo Li truly deserves to be called a genius on par with Nalan Yanran. The Green Wood Sword has actually been cultivated to a major level of mastery!"

    Clap! To the astonishment of everyone present, a wisp of blood-red flame appeared on Xiao Yan''s fingertip as it lightly pressed against the tip of Mo Li''s sword.

    Xiao Yan frowned deeply, turned his head to look at Nalan Yanran behind Mo Li, and asked in a slightly puzzled tone, "Is this all you''ve achieved in three years?"
