Misty Cloud Sect's Current State
As Mo Tang went into seclusion in the Bodhi Space, the entire continent did not become calm; instead, it became even more chaotic.
Countless forces, large and small, whether they were attached to the powerful or were usually ignored, all sprang into action at this moment.
Northwest Continent. On the endless Red Cliff Plains, gusts of sandstorm rage. The blood-red sunset hangs low in the sky, its pale red light draping the land in a crimson veil, a hint of bloodlust permeating the air...
Dozens of fourth-tier desert wolves were tearing apart a prey that resembled a bison, blood flowing out and slowly seeping into the yellow sand.
The wolf's teeth, covered in blood and bits of flesh, were being chewed repeatedly, making a series of crunching sounds.
Suddenly, as if sensing some danger, all the desert wolves stopped eating, their scarlet eyes fixed on the vibrant red glow of the setting sun...
"Awoo..."
A long wolf howl rang out, and then, as if receiving some kind of command, the desert wolves howled and ran into the depths of the Gobi Desert.
Only a pile of uneaten corpses remained on the ground, revealing stark white bones...
Just as the pack of desert wolves retreated, several black dots flew rapidly through the blood-red sky illuminated by the sunset.
Upon landing, an elderly man with a ruddy complexion looked around in surprise, then turned to look at a young man in black in the crowd...
"Young Sect Master, are you sure this is the place? We've been searching this Gobi Desert for three days, but we haven't found anything special. Could it be that the ancient book left by the Old Sect Master is wrong?"
The old man who spoke was a Peak Dou Emperor, who would have been considered a well-known powerhouse in the Northwest Continent ten years ago.
Unfortunately, the Northwest Continent has already entered a stage of rapid development, with young powerhouses emerging one after another, and even some ancient immortals who have not appeared for decades or even centuries have been alerted, causing the power of the entire Northwest Continent to rise several levels in an instant...
In this way, even the Peak Dou Emperor would become an ordinary expert, and wouldn't even rank among the top!
"Absolutely not!" The black-clad youth, addressed as the Young Sect Master, frowned. After speaking, he took out an ancient scroll from his Storage Ring, examined it carefully, and continued, "This is the place marked on the map. Let's search more carefully; we're sure to find it..."
After speaking, the young man glanced at the red-faced old man and said solemnly, "Elder Shi, this is a task assigned by that lord. If we return empty-handed, you should be well aware of the consequences!"
Hearing the young man's threatening words, the red-faced old man was not angry; instead, he felt a chill run down his spine...
The red-faced old man felt as if his soul was being ripped away whenever he thought of the powerful and terrifying black shadow that had suddenly appeared three days ago.
"Wasn't the Soul Hall wiped out long ago...?"
However, the Soul Hall had long been destroyed by the Four Directions Alliance led by Mo Tang.
Let alone the Soul Hall, even the Soul Clan is now a thing of the past...
However, before the Hun Tiandi falls, no one can truly ignore the power that the Soul Clan currently possesses.
In order to search for the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, all the experts of the Soul Clan, except for the Hun Tiandi and his clone who are trying to maintain their peak condition and have not yet mobilized, have been dispatched. The former Soul Hall Master, Hun Miesheng, who is the second strongest, has led the remaining Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan to the front lines...
Through their ruthless efforts, they transformed a large number of powerful individuals into inhuman, ghostly souls—the kind of beings that served as Soul Hall envoys—into the entire continent, searching for traces of the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.
The Po Shan Sect, to which the black-clad youth belonged, was only considered a lower-middle-class sect in the Northwest Continent, much like the Misty Cloud Sect, which possessed Yun Shan ten years ago. Yet, the Soul Hall envoy still came knocking on their door, sending out the entire sect.
Although they did not know what the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion was, they believed that any of the unusual features recorded in ancient books might provide clues, so they first searched for such places.

This method is not only used by the Soul Clan, but also by the Gu Clan and the Four Directions Alliance.
Although no concrete information about the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion has emerged during this period, quite a few hidden Ruins have been discovered...
Many of these Ruins were left behind by powerful figures who were once famous throughout the continent, so they were unearthed by chance, which can be considered a small gain.
The Jia Ma Empire, Misty Cloud Sect.
At this time, the Misty Cloud Sect was still located on Misty Cloud Mountain.
However, after that disaster, only half of Misty Cloud Mountain, which was originally like a sword soaring into the sky, remained, and the new Misty Cloud Sect was built on the broken mountain peak.
Ten years have passed, and the girl who was once naive has become a qualified Sect Master. Under the secret care of Mo Tang and Yun Yun, Misty Cloud Sect has embarked on an incredible path of growth.
At this moment, the Misty Cloud Sect is already the number one power in the entire Northwest Continent, with three Dou Zun level experts alone within the sect...
Just six months later, their beautiful Sect Master also successfully broke through to become a genuine Dou Zun, which made countless young disciples in the sect admire her greatly.
At this moment, inside the main hall of the Misty Cloud Sect, Nalan Yanran, dressed in a long blue dress, sat at the head of the table, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, filled with a hint of sadness.
"Elder Lin, has any news come from Central Plains?"
The clear, melodious voice echoed in the hall, waking an elderly man who seemed to be half-asleep.
"Well, Sect Master, apart from the order to search for the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion that was passed down back then, there has been no further news from Central Plains..."
These words caused the look in Nalan Yanran's eyes to dim even further.
Upon seeing this, the old man, known as Elder Lin, quickly composed himself, focusing his attention on his nose and mind, appearing as if he were in a trance.
There was no other way; when he was sent from the alliance to the Misty Cloud Sect, he already knew something about the relationship between his alliance leader and this Misty Cloud Sect Master ...
Even though he was a powerful five -Dou Zun, while the girl in front of him was just a minor Dou Zong, he dared not be negligent in the slightest after learning the girl's identity.
After glancing at the other party's dejected appearance and pondering for a moment, Elder Lin spoke again, "As far as I know, after that great battle, the Alliance Leader immediately went into seclusion with Elder Yun Yun and others, and there has been no news of them since..."
I suppose they haven't emerged from seclusion yet...
Nalan Yanran paused slightly, then nodded gently and murmured, "Is that so..."
"Issue the order: all sects and empires affiliated with the Misty Cloud Sect, abandon everything and search with all your might for the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion. Those who neglect this duty will not be spared!"
