Chapter 97: Misty Cloud Sect, Master and Disciple

The Misty Cloud Sect, with a heritage passed down from generation to generation, made this ancient sect stand at the top of the Jia Ma Empire.

Were it not for the rules of the Sect stating not to seize power from the emperor, one fears that the Misty Cloud Sect would have taken over the entire empire in several previous dynastic changes.

Although it did not control the entire empire, there is no doubt about the Sect's position in the Empire.

The Sect was founded on Misty Cloud Mountain, which is only a few tens of kilometers away from the imperial capital, if the Sect selected it, it was because naturally, it was a feng shui treasure.

It is not a solitary peak but is surrounded by many mountains, it is the highest of them all, and when the surrounding mountains bend skyward, it suddenly appears like a sword, pointing straight up into the blue sky.

As if in defiance of the sky, the exposed peak is surrounded by clusters of white clouds suspended like islands.

At the top of the steep, cloudy hill, a slender figure loomed out of the mist.

The woman is dressed in a purple and blue robe, adorned with gold inlay, and her long bluish-white hair was partially pulled back like the long song of a phoenix, faintly revealing an undisguised nobility, her beautiful and touching face was very calm, like a clear spring in the mountains, which made people feel awe at her noble bearing.

Tap tap tap tap...

As the woman gazed thoughtfully at the clouds in front of her, footsteps sounded behind her.

The woman turned around and looked at the person coming.

She was a cold-looking young woman with a beautiful and delicate face that looked like a heavenly fairy. She wore a black dress with gold stripes outlining her well-proportioned body.

Looking at the young woman's face, which seemed to be tinged with a hint of sadness, the woman asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yanran, didn't you take a trip home yesterday, why don't you look happy, did you run into something?"Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

Hearing her master's question, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but remember what her father and grandfather had told her upon returning home, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness inside.

"Master, you knew that I have a marriage contract, didn't you?"

"Well, I heard you say that, could it be related to this matter?" Yun Yun listened to her apprentice's words with a frown as she asked with some doubt.

She knew that this disciple of hers had a marriage contract, but it seemed that this disciple had always been very resistant to this marriage contract and rarely mentioned it.

Besides, a genius of Xiao Ming's level was not easy to attract, and the other party in her apprentice's marriage arrangement was not him, so she would simply annul the marriage.

As long as sufficient compensation is given, it should be fine.

It was just that the Xiao family now had a sixth-tier alchemist, they were no longer a second-rate power, and courtesy when knocking on the door should not be lacking.

After some thought, Yun Yun said, "Tomorrow, I will personally accompany you to the Xiao family to annul the marriage."

......

Jia Ma Sacred City, deep in the Imperial City, in a secluded bamboo forest in the back mountain.

An unusually hurried pace ran along the gravel road in the middle of the bamboo forest.

The gravel path led directly to the top of the mountain, and the figure did not stop until he reached the end of the path.

What appeared before him was a huge lake with a small pavilion in the center, in which stood an old man dressed in linen, drinking tea.

Apparently sensing the figure's arrival, the linen-robed old man's right hand, which was fiddling with the hollows, paused slightly before speaking in a low voice.

"Shadow Guard, what is it?"

The voice was not loud, but it accurately reached the ears of the figure outside.

Hearing this sudden voice, the silhouette did not panic but knelt on the ground as if he was used to it, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully.

"News has come from Wu Tan City that Xiao Ming of the Xiao Clan is already a sixth-tier alchemist, and together with him this time, there is also a powerful Dou King who returned with him to the clan."

!!!!

The hands of the linen-clad elder in the center of the lake pavilion, who was fiddling with his tea set, trembled violently.

"A sixth-tier alchemist! There's nothing wrong with the information, is there?"

"The night Xiao Ming returned to the Xiao Family, the Xiao Family held a banquet for him, and the Xiao Clan Head said in public that Xiao Ming was a Sixth Tier Alchemist, and Xiao Ming was present at the time and did not deny it."
