Heading to the Misty Cloud Sect

The crowd followed the sound, only to see a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in an extremely simple white robe, walking slowly toward them.

A gentle breeze blew, causing his robes to flutter and giving him an air of ethereal detachment.

It was none other than Yun Shan, the man who had summoned everyone here.

Jia Xingtian's expression shifted, and just as he was about to stand up, Fa Ma spoke up first: "Yun Shan, why have you called us all here today?"

Yun Shan glanced at Jia Xingtian and let out a cold snort.

He then walked up to the high platform and sat down.

"Today, I have summoned everyone to the Misty Cloud Sect to announce a major matter."

As he spoke, Yun Shan deliberately cast a glance at Jia Xingtian.

This guy Yun Shan is far too arrogant! Jia Xingtian thought, clenching his fists.

Both of them were at the peak of the Dou Emperor realm!

If they were to truly clash, although his earth-attribute Dou Qi was not suited for offense, his formidable defensive capabilities meant he had no reason to fear Yun Shan!

Fa Ma sent a telepathic message: "Old Jia, stay calm. Perhaps... Yun Shan is intentionally provoking you, hoping to use it as an excuse to stir up trouble."

For the sake of the Imperial Family, Jia Xingtian could not be as reckless as Yun Shan, so he could only snort coldly: "Hmph! This old man isn't so easily fooled."

Fa Ma: "Heh."

Just as the crowd below was buzzing with discussion.

On the high platform.

A woman in a simple dress walked up slowly.

She appeared to be around twenty years old, yet she had styled her dark hair into an elegant phoenix ornament.

Her beautiful, moving face was calm and serene.

Her entire being exuded a grace and nobility that even her simple dress could not conceal.

Yun Shan pointed to the woman in the simple dress and said: "Effective immediately, my disciple Yun Yun will succeed to the position of Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. I hope you will all look after her in the future."

An immediate uproar erupted from below!

Especially among the heads of the three great clans and Jia Xingtian!

Yun Shan was already a peak Dou Emperor, yet Yun Yun was only at the peak of the Dou King realm!

Why would he step down when he was sitting perfectly well in the position of Sect Leader?

After a brief moment of shock, Jia Xingtian quickly understood Yun Shan's intentions!

This old guy must be passing the position to Yun Yun so he can devote himself entirely to cultivation!

Fa Ma sent a telepathic message: "If this guy really breaks through to the Dou Ancestor realm, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop him from unifying the Jia Ma Empire!"

By that time, the Imperial Family would exist in name only.

Jia Xingtian sneered: "Heh, if the Dou Ancestor realm were so easy to break through to, I wouldn't have been stuck here for so many years."

"Congratulations, Sect Leader Yun Yun."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"So Sect Leader Yun Shan is retreating behind the scenes."

"From now on, please look after us, Sect Leader Yun Yun."

While the two were exchanging telepathic messages.

The members of the three great clans had already stood up to offer their congratulations.

Especially the Nalan Clan.

Nalan Jie actually brought his granddaughter to Yun Yun's side.

With a face full of obsequious smiles, he said: "Sect Leader Yun Yun, my granddaughter has decent talent. I wonder if she might be able to apprentice under you and cultivate by your side?"

Yun Yun did not agree immediately; instead, she examined the little girl's body before nodding: "Her talent is indeed decent. I will take her in."

"Many thanks, Sect Leader Yun Yun."

Nalan Jie immediately pressed Nalan Yanran down to her knees: "Yanran, quickly, pay respects to your teacher."

"Disciple Nalan Yanran greets Teacher."

The little girl kowtowed to Yun Yun.

That bastard Nalan Jie must have received wind of this long ago, yet he didn't reveal a single word!

The head of the Mu Clan cursed Nalan Jie thoroughly in his heart.

Nalan Jie didn't care about any of that.

He looked triumphantly at the heads of the other two great clans.

From Yun Yun's gaze, he saw the affection she held for his granddaughter.

Who knows, perhaps his granddaughter Nalan Yanran could become the next candidate for Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect!

By that time, the status of the Nalan Clan within the Jia Ma Empire would rise along with the tide.

What a massive profit!

Subsequently, Yun Shan began organizing the sect leader succession ceremony.

Just as the ceremony reached its halfway point.

Suddenly, a voice resounded across the sky.

"Heh, everyone is here; that saves me from running around! Very good! Very good indeed!"

Before the crowd could react!

A figure in green robes appeared directly in front of Yun Shan.

His arrival was incredibly bizarre!

There were two peak Dou Emperor powerhouses present, and from their horrified expressions and incredulous eyes, the others knew that they had no premonition whatsoever of this mysterious person's appearance!

At this moment, their pupils were filled with terror toward this mysterious figure!

Even the Dou Qi within their bodies seemed to have solidified; no matter how they tried to mobilize it, it was to no avail!

Yun Shan was closest to the man in green, and from him, he felt a suffocating sense of oppression!

This feeling was just like a child who had just started cultivating encountering a bloodthirsty Dou Emperor powerhouse!

It made his very soul tremble!

Jia Xingtian's face also turned pale, his body stiffening.

Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped incessantly from his forehead.

Could this person be a Dou Ancestor powerhouse?!

"That... Sect Leader Yun Shan, I... my wheat is ripe, I need to go back to harvest the wheat, yes, harvest the wheat, so I won't stay for the meal, farewell."

Nalan Jie reacted the fastest, hurriedly standing up and cupping his hands.

"Uh, it's about to rain, I... the medicinal pills our Alchemist Guild is drying should be ready, I... I must go back to collect them."

Fa Ma followed suit.

The others, hearing this, also scrambled to find excuses to leave.

The reasons were varied and bizarre, only missing the claim that their sows were about to give birth.

Hearing this, Yun Shan nearly vomited blood!

Harvesting wheat? Drying medicinal pills?

Why didn't they just say they had to go home to give birth to children!

When they wanted to deal with him earlier, they were all so valiant and spirited.

But once a terrifying powerhouse arrived.

They all acted like shrinking turtles!

Running faster than anyone!

Yun Shan wanted to flee, but he could not.

Nalan Jie and the others tried to move, but finding their Dou Qi impossible to mobilize, they resorted to the most primitive method: running down the mountain!

However, after only a few steps, the heads of the three great clans, Fa Ma, Jia Xingtian, and the others, slammed into something as if hitting a wall.

With a bang!

Several of them landed hard on their backsides.

The man in green said coldly: "Those who flee again, die!"

As the words fell!

BOOM!

A pressure like a mountain descended from the sky, crushing down on everyone present.

The guards brought by the three great clans were instantly reduced to mists of blood under this terrifying pressure.

The Dou King powerhouses of the three clans also lay on the ground like dead dogs, scarlet blood continuously seeping from their mouths.

"Senior, spare us, we... we were wrong."

Mittal Tengshan was the first to beg for mercy.

Mu Chen followed closely behind: "Whatever instructions you have, Senior, just say the word; please give us another chance."

"Indeed, we are but a group of ants; killing us would only dirty your hands," Nalan Jie said, gritting his teeth.

Xiao Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, saying indifferently: "To kill you, I do not need to lift a finger; with just a single thought, you would be reduced to nothing."

With a bang, Nalan Jie turned into a mist of blood, dissipating with the breeze.
