Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

This person was the one he called Xiao Si.

Within the mercenary group, Xiao Si was their expert at collecting commission information and gathering intelligence.

Desert datura is not rare, at most it's just hard to find, so the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group wouldn't break the group's default rules for it. That's why the bearded man sent Xiao Si to gather information.

Upon seeing him return, all the mercenaries looked at Xiao Si, wanting to know the reason.

"I found out, boss. This whole thing was just the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group's petty leader being greedy. He wanted to double-cross us and wipe us out."

Xiao Si sat next to the bearded man, a helpless smile on his face, and then slowly recounted the information he had gathered.

After hearing Xiao Si's words, the bearded man and the others realized that such a big thing had happened after they entered the desert.

"The wedding of Yunlan Sect Master Yun Yun and Pill King Gu He?"

The bearded man repeated the information Xiao Si had just gathered: someone wanted to present the Desert Datura as a wedding gift to the Yunlan Sect's leader, and the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group had taken this risk to make such a decision in order to get in touch with that important figure.

After all, their leader possesses considerable strength. As long as they can establish connections with the Yunlan Sect behind them, they will naturally be able to completely control the territory surrounding the Tagor Desert.

They had just happened to receive such a commission to enter the desert beforehand, and without any sources of information, they were naturally unaware of this important matter.

That's why they suffered such a huge loss.

This matter involved high-ranking figures in the Gama Empire, so the mercenaries could only focus their attention on the bearded man's face. They weren't afraid of the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group, but someone who could send a congratulatory gift at the Yunlan Sect's wedding must be someone of great importance, so they naturally couldn't ignore it.

The bearded man understood this as well. He gritted his teeth, stood up abruptly, glanced at everyone, and said loudly, "Gentlemen, it was the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group that broke the rules first. We have done nothing wrong. Even if things escalate, it is still our right to fight. This matter absolutely cannot be left like this."

“That’s right, the leader is right. It’s their fault that the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group double-crossed each other.”

"I also support the boss. What a load of rubbish. He wants to get in touch with big shots, so he resorts to dirty tricks. I don't think the leader of this Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group is anyone special."

In this respect, they misunderstood Han Jue.

Han Jue ordered the collection of as many desert datura as possible, but the foreman in charge secretly withheld the gold coins intended for their purchase, intending to double-cross them and enrich himself, which led to this incident.

"Alright, brothers, who cares about the Yunlan Sect's wedding or any big shots? What does it have to do with us? All I know is that so many of our brothers have perished here, and I won't be satisfied until we get an explanation."

The bearded man stood up and shouted loudly, his voice stirring the bloodlust of the others. This was the commander they knew.

"What did you just say?"

Xiao Fan, who happened to be flying nearby, vaguely heard something about the 'Yunlan Sect' and 'wedding'. A bad feeling arose in his heart, so he came over to the place where the mercenaries were gathered and asked them out of curiosity.

Upon hearing the sound, the mercenaries noticed Xiao Fan. Then, seeing Xiao Fan with wings on his back in mid-air, they all hurriedly bowed their heads in respect.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Although they were curious that Xiao Fan was already a "Battle King" at such a young age, the mercenaries hurriedly bowed to him.

After all, in this world where strength reigns supreme, once you anger someone, your life could end in an instant.

"What were you talking about just now?"

Xiao Fan waved his hand lightly, indicating that they didn't need to be so polite. He then landed on the ground and looked at the bearded man, asking, "I just heard you talking about the Yunlan Sect and a wedding. What's going on?"

Hearing the question posed by the young Battle King, the bearded man guessed that the other party, like them, had been in the desert recently and was therefore unaware of the matter. So he replied:

"Reporting to Your Excellency, it is the wedding of Yun Yun, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, and Gu He, the Pill King. We just learned about this, and now the news has spread throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire."

Upon hearing the message from the other party, Xiao Fan's expression darkened completely.

Xiao Fan was certain that Yun Yun disliked Gu He. Coupled with their time together in the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Fan believed that this was definitely not something Yun Yun did willingly.

As a Douhuang realm cultivator, there was only one person in the entire Jia Ma Empire who could force her to act against her.

Yunshan was the previous sect leader of the Yunlan Sect.

The conflict between the Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect was supposed to have been resolved without the intervention of Yun Yun and Xiao Fan, so why did this happen?

Because of Yun Yun's presence, Xiao Yan did not break ties with the Yunlan Sect when the three-year agreement ended. In addition, after being reminded by himself, he did not go to the Yunlan Sect again. However, this incident still happened.

Yunshan...

Xiao Fan's expression darkened slightly. It seemed that he would only know the truth by going there in person.

Chapter 306 The Wedding in Progress (Part 1)

As the undisputed leading enterprise of the Jia Ma Empire, the wedding of the current sect leader of Yunlan Sect was an unprecedentedly grand occasion.

From the royal family and nobles of the Gama Empire to the common people wandering the streets of the Gama Empire, everyone knew this news.

Not to mention, one of the newcomers on both sides is Gu He, the Pill King, who is the number one alchemy talent in the Jia Ma Empire, and even in the northwest region of the Dou Qi Continent.

The wedding of the two was a perfect match, a union of equals, and the area around the mountain where the Yunlan Sect was located was bustling with activity and extremely lively.

These are people who wanted to catch a glimpse of the wedding but weren't eligible to attend, so they just stayed nearby.

This actually created a sizable temporary market where everyone bought and sold medicinal materials they no longer needed.

Even many disciples of the Yunlan Sect came here to exchange for supplies they needed, and the people around them looked on with envy when they saw the white robes and brocade clothing with cloud patterns on them.

After all, such attire signifies their identity as disciples of the Yunlan Sect. Now, in the eyes of the outside world, with the addition of Pill King Guhe, the already thriving Yunlan Sect has taken off to new heights.

The disciples within the Yunlan Sect held the same view, and when they walked outside, they all acted arrogantly. When they heard others flattering the Yunlan Sect, their lips curled into a wide grin.

Aside from external opinions, various factions also have different views on the wedding of the Yunlan Sect Master and Pill King Guhe.

......

In the imperial palace of the Gama Empire, the capital.

Jia Xingtian sat solemnly in the hall, with Yao Ye sitting beside him. In front of them was an invitation from Yunlan Sect to attend their wedding.

"What exactly is going on? Although Gu He has been pursuing Yun Yun, she has never shown any interest in him. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible that nothing would have happened after all these years. But now, even a wedding invitation has appeared?"

Jia Xingtian tapped his finger on the table, his voice low and calm, but everyone could hear the anger hidden within it.

Yao Ye, standing to the side, simply looked at the intelligence he had gathered, constantly checking for any useful information.

Opposite them, the intelligence officers responsible for gathering information were now prostrate on the ground, their faces pale.

"Okay, you go down first."

After the other party left, Yao Ye threw the intelligence in her hand on the table and shook her head at Jia Xingtian.

"It was like searching for a needle in a haystack; there wasn't a single piece of useful information."

"Humph!"

Jia Xingtian snorted coldly and shook his head helplessly.

"The Yunlan Sect already wields considerable power within the empire. Now, by using Yunyun to bind Guhe, it will likely become even more difficult for the imperial family to control them in the future."

She was already old, and there was no one in the royal family who could shoulder the responsibility. Although Yao Ye had excellent vision and a broad mind, it was a pity that she was ultimately a woman...

In a few years, after I'm gone, the Gama royal family will probably become history.

Thinking of this, Jia Xingtian couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Yun Yun would never agree to marry Gu He. This marriage is probably due to some internal changes within the Yunlan Sect. It seems that something big is about to happen at this wedding."

After thinking for a moment, Jia Xingtian said to Yao Ye, "Next, I need to contact Fa Ma from the Alchemist Guild, and Old Man Bing from the Mittel family..."

After such a major incident, Jia Xingtian did not believe that Hai Bodong and Fa Ma would sit idly by.

Although the Alchemist Guild to which Fa Ma belongs generally does not favor anyone, Jia Xingtian felt that there was still a chance to win them over compared to the arrogant and disdainful Yunlan Sect.

Besides, this meeting was just to find out what happened at Yunlan Sect and exchange information; it hasn't come to a life-or-death situation yet.

At the border of the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Yan, Yao Lao, and Zi Yan had just settled down when they heard the surrounding crowd talking incessantly about the wedding of the Yunlan Sect Master.

"teacher!"

Xiao Yan inquired among the surrounding crowd and anxiously called out to Yao Lao in his heart.

After all, if Yun Yun hadn't stopped Yun Leng back in the Yunlan Sect, they might have had to go through another fierce battle there. Besides, when they left, Yun Yun's whispered message clearly had something to do with her senior brother.

Upon suddenly hearing about the wedding of the Yunlan Sect Master and Gu He, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel worried.

"Let's get there first. Your senior brother will definitely be there to handle this."

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao quietly began communicating with Xiao Yan.

Only Zi Yan stared at Xiao Yan with innocent eyes. After all, she couldn't hear Xiao Yan's conversation with Yao Lao at all. Besides, she didn't know that Xiao Fan and Yun Yun had a relationship.

Seeing Xiao Yan suddenly asking others about the Yunlan Sect wedding, Zi Yan could only look at Xiao Yan with curiosity.

After finishing his conversation with Yao Lao, Xiao Yan remembered Zi Yan. He could only repeat what he knew to Zi Yan, since he couldn't bring her into conflict with the Yunlan Sect without knowing anything about her situation.

"So, Ziyan, if you don't plan to go, you can take my letter and wait for us at the Xiao family in Wutan City."

After saying that, Xiao Yan remained silent. No matter what choice Zi Yan made, Xiao Yan would understand.

"Go! Why wouldn't you go?"

After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Zi Yan glared at him.

"Xiao Fan promised to take me back to the Jia Ma Empire, but he abandoned me halfway there. Now that I've finally heard from him, of course I have to go see him."

As Zi Yan spoke, she clenched her fists so tightly that they cracked.

......

Yunlan Sect.

Behind the main hall at the summit, there are no more than five people in the entire Yunlan Sect who can enter and leave this place.

Now it has been ordered to be completely sealed off, and no one can enter except with the sect leader's order.

At the same time, this is also where the previous sect leader of the Yunlan Sect went into seclusion in Yunshan.
