Jia Ma's Current Situation

The magnificent city gradually shrinks, and the black earth contrasts sharply with the sky.

"Lin Ming, where do we go next?" High in the sky, as the emerald green and purple Dou Qi Wings, Zi Yan casually asked.

"Go back to your family!"

After glancing down at the dark expanse, Lin Ming flapped his wings and soared away without looking back. Zi Yan immediately followed, and Lin Ming's voice echoed through the air.

"However, since it's on my way, I'll first visit Xiao Yi Xian in the Chu Yun Empire."

Inside the main hall of the Misty Cloud Sect in the Jia Ma Empire, a terrifying pressure emanated from the platform, forcing the two people below to prostrate themselves on the ground.

"Yun Ling, does that mean that not only did the three of you Dou Emperor fail to complete your mission, but one of you was also left behind?"

Hearing Yun Shan's cold words, Yun Leng and the other man immediately became even more terrified.

Under the terrifying pressure from Yun Shan, Yun Leng could only stammer, "Old... Old Sect Master... We've only been at the Xiao Family for a short time, and... Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family has already returned. And... and in just three short years, he's already reached the level of Six-Star Dou King. Furthermore, he possesses a terrifying, predominantly blue flame..."

Seeing that Yun Shan had calmed down a bit, Yun Leng immediately continued, "Sect Master, also, we noticed that some members of the Mittel Family were secretly helping the Xiao Family."

"Mittel... Hai Bodong... Hmph, since that's the case, then let the Jia Ma Empire change its fate!"

"Pass down the word: three months from now, I will hold my Sect Promotion Ceremony. Those who refuse to submit will be annihilated!"

With a wave of Yun Shan's hand, Yun Leng and the other two immediately left the main hall without further delay.

After Yun Leng and the other person left, the main hall fell into a moment of silence.

Suddenly, an unpleasant laugh rang out.

"Heh heh! The Yao Chen has finally appeared."

As the sound faded, a dark figure emerged in the hall.

"Vulture Protector, Yao Chen's cultivation was as high as the Dou Venerate realm before his death. Do you think we need some outside help?" As the black shadow arrived, Yun Shan immediately asked.

As soon as Yun Shan finished speaking, Vulture Protector immediately responded with a cold voice.

"Yun Shan, it's none of your business to interfere in Protector affairs."

Faced with Vulture Protector's merciless words, Yun Shan, though inwardly furious, dared not show it on his face, even managing a forced smile as he replied, "Yes! Yes! I was too talkative."

Yun Shan's smile did not elicit the slightest gentleness from Vulture Protector's tone; his voice remained icy as he spoke, "Remember, three months from now, you must capture Xiao Yan. Then the Xiao Family can be wiped out. Of Protector, I need Soul Body, otherwise, you can use people from your Misty Cloud Sect as payment!"

As the echoes faded, the shadowy figure in the hall vanished once more, leaving Yun Shan alone in the hall, deep in thought with a somber expression.

Within the Misty Cloud Sect, under the order issued by Yun Shan, the news that he would be holding his sect ascension conference in three months was quickly sent to the major powers of the Jia Ma Empire by carrier pigeons carrying invitations.

Upon receiving the invitation, Yao Ye immediately headed towards the palace at the back of the Imperial City without delay.

"Yao Ye, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

Sensing the hurried pace of his usually calm granddaughter, Jia Xingtian immediately asked.

"Grandpa, the Misty Cloud Sect has begun its operation."

As Yao Ye approached Jia Xingtian, she handed him the Jia Xingtian and said this.

After receiving the invitation and reading its contents, Jia Xingtian's face darkened, and the teacup beside him shattered instantly.

"What a fine Misty Cloud Sect! What a fine Yun Shan! We've turned a blind eye to their recruitment efforts these past two years. Now, they've finally decided to get serious!"

"Grandpa, the Misty Cloud Sect now harbors treacherous ambitions; we need to make plans as soon as possible."

"How could I not know the Misty Cloud Sect's wolfish ambitions! But Yun Shan has now broken through to the Dou Zong! Although Yun Yun is currently under house arrest by Yun Shan, and the Misty Cloud Sect has lost a Dou Emperor combatant, with Yun Shan as a Dou Zong, unless we unite with the other major forces to fight against them, our royal family alone has no chance of winning."

Alchemist Guild.

After receiving the invitation, Fa Ma showed it to the other Vice President, and the group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Taking in the expressions of the group, Fa Ma spoke up, "Everyone, now that you've all finished reading, let's share our thoughts!"

As Fa Ma finished speaking, voices began to emanate from the room after a moment of silence.

"Yun Shan's Advance to Dou Ancestor and his emergence from seclusion was over a year ago. If he truly wanted to hold a Sect Promotion Ceremony, he would have done so long ago. The fact that he's suddenly inviting major powers after more than a year suggests something far more complicated is going to happen!"

"So what? Our Alchemist Guild is neutral anyway. We'll just stay out of it if they cause trouble. I don't believe anyone would dare to risk the wrath of the world and provoke our Alchemist Guild."

"I'm afraid it won't be that simple! What if they force us to take sides or something..."

Within the Nalan Family, Nalan Jie and his son Nalan Su looked at the invitation in their hands and began to speak.

"Father, given our relationship with the Misty Cloud Sect, you don't need to worry, do you?" Nalan Su said, looking at Nalan Jie, who had a slightly furrowed brow.

"Alas! If Yun Yun were still in charge, we wouldn't have to worry. But now Yun Yun is under house arrest, and Yan Ran is in seclusion and unaware of the situation. Our relationship with the Misty Cloud Sect isn't as good as we thought!"

Within the Mittel Family.

Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, Mittel Tengshan, Elder Liu, and Master Tuosuo gathered together and discussed the matter.

"Elder Hai, that old fellow Yun Shan is about to lose his temper!" Mittel Tengshan said at this moment.

"Shortly after her birth, rumors spread that Yun Yun had gone into seclusion, but in reality, she was under house arrest. After that, the Misty Cloud Sect began to recruit disciples on a large scale, which shows Yun Shan's ambition. Now, it's just a matter of announcing it to the public." Ice Emperor Hai Bodong spoke without hesitation in the face of Mittel Tengshan's words.

"So, should we go or not?" Master Tuosuo asked after Hai Bodong finished speaking.

"We haven't completely broken ties yet, so we still have to go. But just in case, I'll lead the team, and you'll all stay with your clans. If anything happens, you'll lead your clansmen to retreat immediately."
