The Old Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, Dou Zong Yun Shan!

Xiao Chen put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

Qing Lin sat on the bed, watching his back without saying a word.

Inside the Stone Hall.

Queen Medusa sat upon her throne, looking at Yue Mei and Qing Lin standing before her.

"Come here."

Queen Medusa said indifferently.

Yue Mei and Qing Lin stepped forward.

Queen Medusa raised her hand to probe their strength.

A moment later, her expression changed.

"One-Star Dou Ling?"

Queen Medusa looked at Qing Lin, her voice carrying a hint of shock.

Qing Lin nodded.

"Yes."

Qing Lin replied.

Queen Medusa then looked toward Yue Mei.

"Dou Huang?"

Queen Medusa asked.

"One-Star Dou Huang."

Yue Mei said.

Queen Medusa fell silent.

She withdrew her hand and leaned back against the throne, her eyes filled with amazement.

"It has only been a few days..."

Queen Medusa murmured.

When Qing Lin was first brought back, she wasn't even considered a Dou Zhe.

Now, she was already a Dou Ling.

When Yue Mei married Xiao Chen, she was merely a Seven-Star Dou Wang.

Now, she was already a Dou Huang.

This speed was simply too fast.

Queen Medusa took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart.

"Xiao Chen's Multi-Child Multi-Blessing fortune is truly remarkable."

Queen Medusa said, her voice tinged with a trace of emotion.

Yue Mei and Qing Lin exchanged a glance, neither of them speaking.

"You may withdraw."

Queen Medusa said.

"Yes."

The two bowed and turned to leave the Stone Hall.

Only Queen Medusa remained in the Stone Hall.

She leaned against the throne, her fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Marrying Xiao Chen allows one's strength to increase..."

Queen Medusa murmured.

Yue Mei went from a Seven-Star Dou Wang to a One-Star Dou Huang.

Qing Lin went from below a Dou Zhe to a One-Star Dou Ling.

These were solid, tangible improvements.

Queen Medusa bit her lip.

Although she had broken through to Dou Zong with the help of the Po Zong Pill, her cultivation speed had slowed down significantly since then.

If she were to become one of Xiao Chen's wives or concubines...

Queen Medusa shook her head, cutting off her own train of thought.

"I am the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe..."

Queen Medusa whispered, "How could I..."

She did not continue.

Queen Medusa stood up, walked to the window, and gazed outside.

"If it truly can be improved..."

Queen Medusa murmured, "It is not..."

She did not finish her sentence, turning around to walk back and sit on her throne.

Misty Cloud Sect.

In the grand hall, the elders were gathered together.

Yun Leng sat in the first seat on the left, his face ashen.

The other elders sat below, their expressions equally grim.

Gu He sat in the guest seat, his brows tightly furrowed.

"The news that the Sect Leader and Yanran have been abducted by the Snake-People Tribe has been confirmed."

Yun Leng said in a deep voice, "Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Tribe intends to marry the Sect Leader and Yanran to a Snake-Person named Xiao Chen to continue the bloodline of the Snake-People Tribe."

"What?"

One elder exclaimed, "Marry a Snake-Person?"

"This is too much!"

Another elder shouted in anger, "Since when has our Misty Cloud Sect suffered such humiliation?"

"Even if Queen Medusa is a Dou Zong powerhouse, she cannot humiliate our Misty Cloud Sect like this!"

"Exactly, the Sect Leader is a Dou Huang powerhouse, and Yanran is a genius disciple of our Misty Cloud Sect; how can they be married off to Snake-People?"

"If this matter gets out, where will the face of our Misty Cloud Sect be?"

Yun Leng raised his hand, cutting off the discussion.

"Now is not the time for anger."

Yun Leng said, "The most urgent matter is how to rescue the Sect Leader and Yanran."

"How else can we rescue them?"

One elder said, "Medusa is a Dou Zong powerhouse; even if we all add up, we are no match for her."

"Even if we all go together, we wouldn't be enough for her to fight alone."

Yun Leng's expression darkened.

"So we just don't rescue them?"

Yun Leng said coldly, "The Sect Leader has been abducted, and if our Misty Cloud Sect does nothing, once word gets out, where will our reputation be?"

The elder opened his mouth but could not find the words to respond.

"But Medusa is a Dou Zong powerhouse."

Another elder said, "Going there is just seeking death."

Yun Leng gritted his teeth, remaining silent.

Gu He spoke up at this moment.

"Medusa breaking through to Dou Zong is indeed difficult to deal with."

Gu He said, "But if we do not rescue them, the Misty Cloud Sect will never be able to hold its head high in the Jia Ma Empire again."

"Master Gu He is right."

Yun Leng nodded, "We must rescue them, but how we do so requires careful deliberation."

The crowd fell silent.

The atmosphere in the grand hall was somewhat oppressive.

Just then, a terrifying aura suddenly descended.

Everyone in the hall had their expressions change drastically.

"What level of powerhouse is this..."

One elder's voice was trembling.

"Dou... Dou Zong?"

Another elder's voice was shaking.

Yun Leng stood up abruptly and looked toward the outside of the hall.

A figure walked in from outside.

It was a young and handsome man with white hair, dressed in a white robe, exuding a terrifying aura from his body.

Dou Zong.

And one comparable to Queen Medusa, a Dou Zong.

"Ol... Old Sect Master?"

Yun Leng widened his eyes, his voice trembling.

The other elders were also stunned.

"Old Sect Master Yun Shan?"

"How is this possible? Isn't the Old Sect Master already..."

"Am I seeing things?"

Everyone stared in shock at the man who had walked in, unable to utter a single word.

Yun Shan.

The previous Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect.

Rumored to have passed away many years ago.

Yet now, he stood before them, alive and well.

Furthermore, he was a Dou Zong powerhouse.

"What, do you not recognize me anymore?"

Yun Shan said indifferently; his voice was not loud, yet it reached everyone's ears with perfect clarity.

"Old Sect Master!"

Yun Leng was the first to react, dropping to his knees with a thud.

The other elders followed suit, kneeling one after another.

"Old Sect Master, you are still alive..."

One elder's voice was shaking.

"This is wonderful! The Old Sect Master is alive, and he is a Dou Zong powerhouse!"

"We are saved! The Sect Master and Nalan Yanran are saved!"

"Old Sect Master, you have finally returned!"

Yun Shan looked at the crowd, his expression unreadable.

"I am already aware of the situation."

Yun Shan said calmly, "Queen Medusa abducted Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, intending to marry them off to the Snake-People."

"Old Sect Master, you already know?"

Yun Leng asked.

"I know."

Yun Shan nodded, "I have returned this time specifically for this matter."

A flicker of joy crossed Yun Leng's eyes.

"Old Sect Master, will you be taking action?"

Yun Leng asked.

"Indeed."

Yun Shan said indifferently, "How could the Sect Master of my Misty Cloud Sect be married off to a Snake-Person?"

"Although Queen Medusa is a Dou Zong, I, Yun Shan, am no pushover."

Hearing this, the crowd felt a sense of relief.

With the Old Sect Master taking action, there was hope to rescue the Sect Master and Nalan Yanran.

"Old Sect Master, your current strength..."

Yun Leng asked tentatively.

Yun Shan said calmly, "It is more than enough to deal with Queen Medusa."

The Snake-People Tribe.

Several days had passed.

The tribe was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, filled with a festive atmosphere everywhere.

Preparations for the grand wedding had already begun.

Snake-People moved in and out, busy with the arrangements.

Xiao Chen stood before the Stone Hall, watching the busy Snake-People, feeling a sense of anticipation in his heart.

Once he married Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, to what level would his strength rise?

By marrying the master and her disciple, the successive Multi-Child Multi-Blessing rewards he would receive should make breaking through to the Dou Zong realm a certainty.

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth curled upward slightly.

He was getting excited!
