The Chu Yun Empire, Mu Lan Empire, and Yan Luo Empire are three major powers surrounding the Jia Ma Empire.
Among them, the Chu Yun Empire is famous for poison. This country possesses terrifying Poison Masters, and within the empire, there is a force called the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, whose power is even greater than the Misty Cloud Sect.
Not only that, but this sect has an old monster named Xie Biyan, whose strength is around that of a four-star Dou Ancestor. He is much more promising than old man Yun Shan. Rumor has it that the Hall of Souls is backing the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, making them even more arrogant.
As for the Mu Lan Empire, although not as powerful as the Jia Ma Empire, it also has a force that is not inferior to the Misty Cloud Sect. This force is called Mu Lan Valley, guarded by the Mu Lan Three Elders. Although they are high-level Dou Emperors, they control a Dou Technique called the Three Beast Savage Art. Once this Dou Technique is unleashed, even Dou Ancestor experts will be wary.
The most troublesome is the Yan Luo Empire, which has the Golden Goose Sect. Its sect leader, Yan Luotian, has reached the realm of a six-star Dou Ancestor, making the Yan Luo Empire the most powerful force among the four empires.
Any one of these three major powers is an existence that the Misty Cloud Sect cannot shake. In the past, Yun Shan would never have dared to provoke them. However, things are different now because their sect's ancestor has returned, giving them new hope.
"Little Shanzi, tonight you will send people to the sects of these three powers and have them come to the Misty Cloud Sect for a meeting. I plan to subdue them to strengthen our Misty Cloud Sect," Ye Qianqian instructed.
"Yes, Ancestor. Your disciple will do as you wish immediately," Yun Shan was incredibly excited. He had waited for this day for a long time, regretting only his insufficient strength. Now that he had the Ancestor's backing, they wouldn't dare to refuse.
Thus, following Ye Qianqian's orders, Yun Shan wrote three invitation letters on his desk that evening and then ordered his subordinates to deliver them to the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, Mu Lan Valley, and the Golden Goose Sect, respectively.
The invitation letters were made of pure gold. After opening the two golden pages, a delicate jade piece, eighteen centimeters long and fifteen centimeters wide, was inlaid inside. Several strong and powerful characters were engraved on it, making it appear extremely luxurious. It was a precious item that the Misty Cloud Sect only used to entertain important guests.
However, unexpectedly, after these three invitation letters were sent out, none of the parties responded.
"What is the Misty Cloud Sect? How dare they invite our sect to some sect celebration?"
In the Golden Goose Sect of the Yan Luo Empire, a middle-aged man crushed the invitation letter in his hand into powder with his Dou Qi, his eyes filled with disdain.
This person was none other than the sect leader of the Golden Goose Sect, Yan Luotian. Speaking of Yan Luotian, he was indeed a genius. At only thirty-five years old, his Dou Qi realm had reached six-star Dou Ancestor. Recently, he felt his bottleneck loosening slightly and expected to break through to the seven-star Dou Ancestor realm in another two months.
However, he had one flaw: he was too arrogant. Ever since he heard that the Misty Cloud Sect controlled the Jia Ma Empire, he had been very annoyed. With his own powerful strength, he hadn't even considered controlling the Yan Luo Empire. Who was an old man like Yun Shan, who was about to enter the grave, to him? Therefore, he would not attend the Misty Cloud Sect's boring sect celebration.
Compared to Yan Luotian's arrogance, the Mu Lan Three Elders of Mu Lan Valley were busy cultivating the Three Beast Savage Art. It was a critical moment, and once they succeeded in their cultivation, their strength would triple.
The Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate also did not respond, completely disregarding the Misty Cloud Sect.
Just two days passed, and Yun Shan approached Ye Qianqian, saying, "Ancestor, your disciple has failed your expectations. Those three powers have refused to come to the Misty Cloud Sect for the meeting."
Honestly, Yun Shan felt disheartened. His Misty Cloud Sect was nothing compared to these three powers.
He only hated his own low strength; even his promotion to Dou Ancestor was with the help of the Hall of Souls.
"It's alright," Ye Qianqian smiled calmly. She had long expected this outcome.
Since ancient times, only the strong have earned respect. How could a power like the Misty Cloud Sect command the surrounding heroes?
"Ancestor, my strength is shallow. It seems I will have to trouble you again!" Yun Shan placed his hopes on Ye Qianqian.
"Uh, ah ha ha ha..."
Ye Qianqian's mouth twitched, and she let out a forced laugh. "A mere few ants, wouldn't it make people laugh at me for bullying the weak if I were to make a move?"
What a joke. Even if she were to act, Ye Qianqian's pathetic Dou Master strength would be useless. She was just a paper tiger now, capable of fooling the foolish Yun Shan, but if it came to a real fight, she wouldn't even be enough to fill someone's teeth.
"Then, according to the Ancestor's wishes?"
Yun Shan frowned. If the Ancestor didn't make a move, what should he do? With his strength as a one-star Dou Ancestor, he had no way to make these three powers submit.
"Fine, fine. I'll make one more move," Ye Qianqian's eyes rolled. She suddenly thought of a good idea and put on a look of regret, as if disappointed by his lack of progress.
"If I make a move, these three countries will be destroyed in an instant. But that would be too boring. Tomorrow, you and Yun Ya should gather the elite disciples of the sect, and accompany me to the Chu Yun Empire. We'll go to the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate first to have some fun."
As night slowly fell, Ye Qianqian finally welcomed her super bodyguards.
As the system had said, there were indeed ten peak Dou Emperor experts. In addition, there was a blonde girl with a cowlick on her head. This girl was none other than Artoria Pendragon, my King.
"Servant Saber, I have come in response to your summons. Please give your orders, Master."
Looking at Saber before her, Ye Qianqian was very satisfied. Now she had enough trump cards.
"System, do you have any skills that can be used to show off? Recommend some."
Ye Qianqian was going to the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate tomorrow to show off and planned to fool more people. How could she do that without some intimidating abilities?
"Ding"
System filtering...
Recommendation 1: Mouth Shield, a unique skill from the protagonist Uzumaki Naruto in Naruto. Once activated, this skill can forcibly instill chicken soup for the soul, leaving villains unprepared and with a 78% chance of brainwashing the enemy.
Price: 100,000 Shock Points.
Recommendation 2: Conqueror's Haki, a skill from the world of One Piece. This skill is very rare, awakened by only one in a million people. Once activated, Conqueror's Haki can instantly awe enemies, achieving the perfect effect of showing off in seconds.
Price: 100,000 Shock Points.
Recommendation 3: Super Electromagnetic Cannon, a skill of Misaka Mikoto from A Certain Magical Index. This skill is a good self-defense skill. With the consumption of a single coin, it can easily deal with opponents. No matter what kind of opponent, they have no choice but to bow their heads under the power of the Super Electromagnetic Cannon.
Price: 130,000 Shock Points.
"I want Conqueror's Haki."
After looking at a large pile of system recommendations, Ye Qianqian chose Conqueror's Haki from the world of One Piece, considering the cost-effectiveness of each option.
As my own strength is only at the Dou Master level, relying on the Mouth Shield is unreliable. What if I annoy them and they just KO me with a single skill?
As for the Super Electromagnetic Cannon, although powerful, my Dou Master strength can't unleash its full potential, so it's not viable either.
Right now, Conqueror's Haki is the only decent option. Experts don't talk much; they just release their pressure to intimidate others at the slightest disagreement. That seems a bit more impressive.
After exchanging for Conqueror's Haki, Ye Qianqian gave Saber some instructions and then meticulously arranged for tomorrow's grand entrance.
Chu Yun Empire, Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate.
"What exactly is Yun Shan planning?" Xie Shan sat on the main hall, fiddling with the invitation letters from the Misty Cloud Sect.
Although he didn't attend the Misty Cloud Sect's celebration, he was still puzzled by the events in the Jia Ma Empire.
According to the news brought back by the sect's scouts, the Misty Cloud Sect had taken control of the Jia Ma Empire and had secretly severed ties with the Hall of Souls, showing an intention to become independent. Wasn't he afraid of retaliation from the Hall of Souls?
As everyone knows, the Hall of Souls' power has spread to every corner of the Dou Qi Continent. Not only is their strength terrifying, but they also possess an extremely powerful secret communication network. Who in this world could openly offend the Hall of Souls, and who would dare to take the Hall of Souls' benefits and then simply walk away?
Yet, the Misty Cloud Sect did something so audacious, and they did it decisively. The reason for this major shift was the appearance of an ancestor in their Misty Cloud Sect.
Legend has it that this ancestor was immensely powerful. Upon his appearance, he intimidated the major forces and brought them under control with his formidable methods. He was truly mysterious.
"Elder Xie, what do you think?" Xie Shan looked at Xie Biyan, who had just emerged from seclusion.
"Yun Shan is just seeking his own demise," Xie Biyan scoffed, not taking him seriously at all.
In terms of sects, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate had a deeper foundation than the Misty Cloud Sect.
In terms of strength, Yun Shan had only recently ascended to Dou Ancestor this year, and his foundation was unstable.
Even the backing of their sect, the Iron Protector behind the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate, was a hundred times stronger than the Misty Cloud Sect's Vulture Protector. How could the Misty Cloud Sect warrant the attention of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate?
Now that the Misty Cloud Sect had broken free from the Hall of Souls' control, its destruction was only a matter of time. Who would dare to get involved in such a messy situation with the Misty Cloud Sect?
"Immortal Yun Lan, your magic is boundless, your might shakes the world, bestowing blessings upon humanity!"
"Immortal Yun Lan, your magic is boundless, your divine abilities are vast, believers will become immortals!"
"Immortal Yun Lan, your magic is boundless, enlightening the world, bestowing good fortune!"
Just as Xie Biyan finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside the sect. He couldn't help but frown, and he and Xie Shan flew out.
Outside the sect, hundreds of Misty Cloud Sect disciples appeared. As they walked, the men shouted loudly, their voices shaking the mountains, while the women scattered fragrant flowers along the way, creating a lively scene with gongs and drums.
"The Immortal arrives!"
A loud shout from the sky caused everyone to look up.
Ten elders of the Misty Cloud Sect, using Dou Qi to form wings, descended from the sky. These ten elders were all at the Dou King realm. They were carrying a phoenix-adorned carriage, which slowly landed at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate.
What shocked Xie Biyan and Xie Shan was that the old sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Shan, and the current sect leader, Yun Yun, were like guards, closely protecting both sides of the carriage.
"This..." Xie Biyan and Xie Shan looked at each other, their faces filled with bewilderment.
