The glory of the Misty Cloud Sect

Yun Shan's face was somewhat gloomy, and he said in a cold tone, "I think it's best if you don't go out for the time being. Although the Northwest Continent can't compare to your Central Plains, I think there are still some hermits there!"

The Wu Ying snorted coldly and said, "Alright, I understand. I'll reduce the frequency of my outings during this period. But don't forget your promise to help me find the soul entity!"

Upon hearing Wu Ying's words, Yun Shan felt a headache coming on, but he remained calm and said indifferently, "Don't worry, it's just that your appetite is too big. It's one thing for you to have the soul body of Dou Ling, but you want three soul bodies of Dou Wang, and you don't even let go of the soul body of Dou Emperor. Do you really think of me as a tool for collecting soul bodies?"

"Heh heh, Yun Shan, don't forget who raised you from the Dou Emperor realm to the Dou Zong realm. It's easy for me to help you raise your realm, but it's even easier to help you destroy that cultivation. Now that you've mastered the power of Dou Zong, can you really withstand returning to where you started?"

"If you're unwilling, we can end this deal at any time. I think many people would be interested in such a win-win situation!" Wu Ying sneered.

Yun Shan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

"No, no, no, I was just reminding you. Our deal has already started, there's no need to change people now, right? But since you told me about your difficulties, how about I think of a way to help you?" The Wu Ying, like a hunter, was luring its prey slowly into its trap.

Yun Shan looked at the black mist in front of him with some wariness. He knew that this Wu Ying had ill intentions, but he couldn't resist the temptation of becoming Dou Zong, so he reached an agreement with Wu Ying.

"What method?" Yun Shan asked, slowly exhaling a breath of stale air.

A sinister smile crept across the Wu Ying's beak as it emerged from the black mist; its prey had taken the bait!

"I'll help you create a Dou Wang Dou Emperor, and you can have your subordinates help me find the Dou Wang Dou Emperor soul bodies I need, how about it?" Wu Ying said with a hint of temptation in his words.

Yun Shan raised an eyebrow, asking with some skepticism, "Create a Dou Emperor? You can do that?"

The Wu Ying said with extreme arrogance and confidence, "Just a Dou Emperor. I can even help you, a Dou Zong, to advance to Dou Emperor!"

Yun Shan believed this and pondered for a moment before saying, "That is indeed a good idea. In this way, not only will we have a better chance of obtaining the soul body you requested, but we can also enhance the strength of my Misty Cloud Sect. However, what you're saying is probably not that simple, is it?"

After letting out a cackling laugh, the Wu Ying slowly said, "Of course, helping you create a Dou Wang Dou Emperor is no problem, but you'll have to provide the medicinal herbs needed in the process yourself. Also, I need your Misty Cloud Sect to help me find the whereabouts of someone!"

"Oh? Could it be that there's someone even your Soul Hall can't find?" Yun Shan said, looking at Wu Ying with a half-smile.

The Wu Ying gave a low, cold snort and said, "Our Soul Hall has dominated the continent for many years, and we only suffered a loss at the hands of this person. Moreover, our influence in the Jia Ma Empire has not yet fully penetrated. Otherwise, would we need to rely on a force like your Misty Cloud Sect?"

"Just what kind of person is it that deserves such attention from your Soul Hall?" Yun Shan asked.

"Heh, just a stray dog. If I hadn't been careless back then, he would have fallen into the hands of my Soul Hall long ago. Don't underestimate him. His name is Yao Chen. He may not be well-known in your Northwest Continent, but in the Central Plains, he is the famous Venerable Yao!" Wu Ying's tone was tinged with anger.

Yun Shan was startled by Wu Ying's words and asked in surprise, "The Venerable Yao? Could he be...?"

"That's right, just as you imagined. His strength in life reached the Dou Zun realm, far beyond what you ants can compare to! Moreover, he was also a peak Eighth-Tier alchemist, so his soul is extremely powerful, which is why our Soul Hall has been relentlessly pursuing him!" Wu Ying said in a deep voice.

Yun Shan was already utterly shocked. Dou Zun level expert? Not to mention him, even the extremely arrogant Wu Ying in front of him couldn't reach that level. Not to mention that Yao Chen was actually a peak Eighth-Tier alchemist. What did this mean? It meant that even disregarding Yao Chen's own Dou Zun strength, he could find Dou Zun expert to help him at any time if he wanted to!

Seemingly noticing the hesitation in Yun Shan's eyes, Wu Ying said, "Don't worry, Yao Chen is nothing more than a stray dog now. He has lost his physical body and become a soul entity. If we're really comparing strength, he might only be at the Dou Zong level. But Soul Power is ultimately not one's own strength. As long as you can find Yao Chen's whereabouts, my Soul Hall can capture him on its own. You don't need to worry about that!"

Hearing Wu Ying's words, Yun Shan felt somewhat relieved. "In that case, I agree. As long as the strength of the Misty Cloud Sect can be improved, none of this will be a problem!"

Looking at Yun Shan's righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor, Wu Ying sneered inwardly, "Yun Shan, since you value fame and fortune so much, that makes things easier. The soul body I need might be provided by your Misty Cloud Sect in the near future!"

The conversation within the secret realm was naturally unknown to a third person. Yun Shan also went out to have the sect prepare some medicinal herbs. All he knew was that under his leadership, the Misty Cloud Sect would usher in a new era of glory!

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu, who was still in Shi Mo City, was seeing off Xiao Yi Xian outside the city.

"I'm leaving!" Xiao Yi Xian stood in front of Xiao Yu, raised her hand to brush aside her loose hair, and said softly.

"The Chuyun Empire isn't far from the Black Corner Region, perhaps I'll go to the Chuyun Empire to see you!" Xiao Yu said.

Xiao Yi Xian chuckled and said, "Aren't you afraid your girlfriend at the Jia Nan Academy will get jealous?"

After spending so many days together, Xiao Yi Xian learned that Xiao Yu had a girl he loved waiting for him at the Jia Nan Academy, and she jokingly said...

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's take her with us!"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Yu with some surprise and said, "Aren't you afraid she'll get jealous? She might misunderstand us!"

Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's teasing words, Xiao Yu suddenly stepped forward and blocked her Xiao Yi Xian, asking, "What's the misunderstanding?"

Xiao Yi Xian was somewhat taken aback by Xiao Yu's actions, her face turning red, and she said urgently, "What, what are you doing?"

Xiao Yu took a step back, then shook his head and smiled, "After I leave Jia Nan Academy, I might go to Central Plains for a visit. Will you come with me?"

Xiao Yi Xian glared at Xiao Yu and said, "Is this considered an invitation?"

"Of course, and I think you might still need my help with refining Poison Pill later!" Xiao Yu nodded slightly.

Xiao Yi Xian pouted and said, "What? Is this a threat? What if I don't go?"

Xiao Yu shrugged and said, "This isn't a threat. If you don't want to go, it's simple: I'll tie you up and take you there!"

Xiao Yi Xian blushed and said, "You dare! Whether you go to Central Plains or not depends on when you come looking for me!" After saying this, Xiao Yi Xian turned and walked towards the direction of the Chuyun Empire, waving her hand as her figure receded into the distance!

Xiao Yu chuckled. Xiao Yi Xian's departure only took Xiao Lan with her; Xiao Bai and Little Purple were still watching Xiao Yi Xian's departing figure with longing eyes.

"Let's go, it's time for us to head to the Imperial Capital!" Xiao Yu patted Little Purple's head, picked up Xiao Bai, and headed towards Shi Mo City.
