Yun Shan + Cloud Smoke Covering Sun Array + Going Dark = Instantly Defeated

"Teacher, why!"

Yun Yun let Xiao Yan hold her in his arms, her face pale as she looked up at her mentor Yun Shan, whose expression was changing strangely, and she could only find it hard to believe.

She never imagined that Yun Shan would actually attack her!

"He's not in a good state; his soul must have been affected by that person from the Soul Hall," Xiao Yan explained. He then took out a Fifth-Grade healing pill from his Storage Ring and gave it to Yun Yun. "I'll try my best to subdue him, but if it's truly hopeless..."

At this point, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Yun Yun naturally understood what Xiao Yan was trying to say, but she found it hard to accept. She stared blankly at Xiao Yan, tears streaming down her face without warning.

She was perfectly fine yesterday; in fact, for the past two days, she had been daydreaming about what it would be like to marry Xiao Yan. To her, Yun Shan was like a teacher and a father figure. She didn't understand why things had suddenly come to this.

She felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

If Xiao Yan really killed Yun Shan, how would she face him?

But if they don't kill him, what if Xiao Yan is injured by Yun Shan because he held back...?

Yun Yun felt anxious and sad, and she didn't know how to answer Xiao Yan.

I'll do my best to subdue him.

Seeing Yun Yun's tearful face, Xiao Yan's heart softened, and he sighed softly.

Then, he moved and landed on the ground. After putting Yun Yun down, he turned to fly towards Yun Shan. But behind him came Yun Yun's trembling yet determined voice.

"Xiao Yan, please, but if it really doesn't work, protect yourself. If things truly become unbearable... you mustn't do it yourself, let me handle it!"

Xiao Yan froze upon hearing this.

Could Yun Yun really go to such lengths for him?

Then we absolutely mustn't let her be sad!

Xiao Yan's gaze fell on Yun Shan, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Since Wu Protector's soul is now sealed by himself, he will definitely not be able to use some of his subsequent methods. If Yun Shan is still affected, it means that not only his soul, but also his body is likely the work of the Soul Clan. When we make our move later, although we must spare his life, we must not show any mercy and must be ruthless!

"Hehehe, die before me!"

Before Xiao Yan even reached Yun Shan was already completely affected by the contingency plan left behind by Wu Protector. His eyes visibly turned blood red, and black energy began to emanate from his body. No one would think that this person was a righteous person.

Xiao Yan remained unfazed. If Wu Protector had joined forces with Yun Shan to deal with him from the start, he would have had to put in a lot of effort. But this kind of effortless, albeit seemingly simple, approach made it difficult for him to feel any pressure.

After all, at this moment, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi realm alone, amplified by the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, is stronger than Yun Shan's. Coupled with the accumulation of various foundations, Yun Shan, One-Star Dou Zong, is truly no match for him!

The next moment, Xiao Yan saw the old man change his hand seals and forcibly control the Cloud Smoke Covering Sun Array of the Misty Cloud Sect...

"Depend on!"

Xiao Yan was speechless. He knew a thing or two about the Cloud Smoke Covering Sun Array. With Yun Shan's abilities and the support of the Cloud Smoke Covering Sun Array, he should have no problem fighting against Three-Star Dou Zong in a short time. His own Space Lock would be much less effective against him.

Because the Spatial Strength that seals Yun Shan would be dispersed among the disciples by the Cloud Smoke Covering Sun Array, the sealing effect would be much weaker, and there would be no need to use it.

However, Yun Shan is now truly defying the heavens. He was just beaten like a dog by Wu Protector, but now he is launching a powerful attack against Xiao Yan!

He gave a sinister smile, his sleeves fluttered, and a surge of deep blue energy erupted from the top of his head.

At the same time, he forcibly collected the Dou Qi enhanced by the Cloud Smoke Covering Sun Array and sent it into the deep blue energy above his head. The energy cluster then began to wriggle and condensed into a blue longsword that was three zhang wide after a moment.

The longsword was not bright in color; in fact, it was so dark that it was completely devoid of light.

However, the moment the longsword was formed, the surrounding space rippled violently. Judging from its power, it was clearly an Earth Tier Dou Technique!

Looking at the giant energy sword that was slowly rotating above the Yun Shan, Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew this too; it was the most powerful Dou Technique of the Misty Cloud Sect, Wind Brake Annihilation Gang!

But it doesn't matter, he has Dou Technique of this level, and many of them!

Xiao Yan's hands flashed as he formed hand seals, and his powerful Dou Qi surged within him, forming an energy crystal-layered hand seal.

But this was not the end. Xiao Yan's hand seals continued to change, and another energy crystal hand seal was condensed. Then, the two crystal hand seals overlapped, bursting out with dazzling light and an extremely terrifying fluctuation. The surrounding space was somewhat unable to bear the pressure and began to distort.

"Wind Brake Annihilation Gang!"

Yun Shan shouted, and an unusually sharp sword cry suddenly rang out from the sky. Everyone could see clearly that it was the Dou Qi sword above Yun Shan's head that produced this strange sound after it began to spin wildly.

He changed his hand seals, pointed his sword finger at Xiao Yan from afar, and then the huge, wildly spinning sword shot out!

The longsword moved so fast it seemed to be able to penetrate the barriers of space; in a few flashes, it appeared only a few dozen meters away from Xiao Yan.

Looking at Yun Shan's terrifyingly powerful attack, Yun Yun's face grew even paler. She still couldn't believe that Yun Shan would be so ruthless towards Xiao Yan!

Although she believed in Xiao Yan's strength, she couldn't help but worry about him.

Xiao Yan remained completely calm and gently pushed forward with his palm.

The Mountain Opening Seal Sea Overturning Seal- Turning Seal are superimposed!

A massive energy handprint, ten zhang wide, suddenly appeared!

The instant the energy handprint appeared, the space around Xiao Yan distorted, and those with exceptional eyesight could even see some dark spatial cracks!

The massive energy handprint, carrying extremely powerful energy fluctuations, slammed down fiercely towards the incoming giant energy sword.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the two attacks, both containing extremely terrifying energy, collided in the sky.

A thunderous explosion suddenly resounded, and even those who were prepared still experienced a ringing in their ears, and their vision became slightly blurred.

Where the two fierce attacks collided, waves of energy, almost tangible, surged wildly. The surrounding space was distorted by this terrifying energy impact, and tiny spatial cracks appeared!

The distorted space completely encompassed the positions of Xiao Yan and Yun Shan, so no one could see who had the upper hand in this terrifying energy clash.

But soon, an invisible wave spread out, directly eliminating the energy fluctuations that filled the sky, and the distorted space gradually became clear.

As the space returned to normal, two figures reappeared in everyone's sight in the distant sky.

But when everyone saw the situation of the two people in the sky, they couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's clothes were slightly wrinkled, but his aura was still long and intense, and he appeared to be completely unharmed.

At this moment, he had one hand tightly gripping Yun Shan's neck, and the scorching Heavenly Flames Dou Qi wildly rushed into Yun Shan's body, suppressing and sealing his Dou Qi.

A moment later, a blue serpentine pattern appeared on Yun Shan's face, and his aura visibly weakened. If one were to sense it carefully, one would find that his aura was only at the peak of the Da Dou Shi Peak!

Snake Sealing Technique!

As Prince Consort of the Snake-Person Tribe, he naturally learned these methods thoroughly under Queen Medusa's urging.

According to her, this Snake Sealing Technique is generally used to deal with rebellious members of the clan, and Xiao Yan, as Prince Consort, should naturally possess such means.

It is said to be a required course for Prince Consort.

With his Dou Qi sealed by Xiao Yan, Yun Shan seemed to calm down a bit. Then, Xiao Yan lowered his eyelids slightly, and his soul power, carrying the Fallen Heart Flame, surged out from his forehead and entered Yun Shan's soul sea, sealing his soul as well.

It's so easy!

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the looks of it, Wu Protector isn't considered an important figure in the Soul Hall anymore. Since no one has come to rescue him after all this time, he should be fine. In that case, we should find a way to resolve Yun Shan's problem.

Yun Shan, whose soul was sealed, immediately closed his eyes and fainted. Xiao Yan carried him to the ground and carefully placed him on a relatively intact bluestone slab, when Yun Yun rushed up and bumped into him.

At this moment, Yun Yun's pretty face was as pale as paper. Although the injuries she suffered from Yun Shan's sneak attack had been healed considerably by Xiao Yan's pills, the immense mental shock of witnessing her mentor lose control still left her somewhat swaying.

"Xiao Yan, thank you!"

She buried her head in Xiao Yan and murmured.

Between us, why bother with thanks?

Xiao Yan embraced her trembling body and said in a deep voice.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He lowered his head, his warm breath brushing against her forehead, his steady voice carrying a reassuring power, "Senior Yun Shan's soul and Dou Qi were only corrupted by some insidious methods of that Soul Hall Protector. I have temporarily sealed them away, and his life is not in danger. Once I research a solution, he will naturally recover."

He gently wiped away the tear stains on her face with his fingertips. The warmth of his fingertips, through the cool tears, reached Yun Yun's skin, bringing a touch of heartwarming comfort.

"What's the deal with that Soul Hall Protector?"

Yun Yun also remembered the culprit and quickly asked.

"Don't worry, I've completely sealed him in a specially made jade bottle with my Heavenly Flames. He can't cause any more trouble." Xiao Yan patted her back reassuringly. "The most urgent task is to stabilize the sect's internal situation first, and then find a way to investigate the hidden dangers left by the Soul Hall within Senior Yun Shan's body and see if they can be eradicated."

Xiao Yan's words were like a stabilizing force, calming Yun Yun's flustered mind.

She instinctively buried her head in Xiao Yan's firm chest, absorbing the reassuring scent and warmth emanating from him.

That hot, powerful heartbeat seemed to possess a special magic, gradually dispelling the icy chill in her heart.

"Okay, I understand."

She responded softly, her voice still slightly nasal, but no longer as frightened and helpless as before.

With Xiao Yan by her side, she was not afraid of any storm.

Xiao Yan held her in his arms and looked around.

The Forbidden Ground Back Mountain the Misty Cloud Sect and the vicinity of the Sect Leader Main Hall were in complete disarray after the great battle.

Rocks crumbled, palaces collapsed, and massive ravines crisscrossed the landscape. The air was still filled with the lingering Dou Qi.

In the distance, the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect gathered in a relatively safe area, where the light of the Cloud Smoke Covering Sun Array had long since dimmed and dissipated.

They gazed with complex emotions at Xiao Yan in the center of the ruins, the sect leader in his arms, and the old sect leader lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

Yun Leng, that old dog, lay sprawled among the rocks on the distant Back Mountain, covered in blood and barely breathing. Clearly, although Yun Shan had been badly beaten by Wu Protector, he had still done some of the work of cleaning up the sect.

Xiao Yan's cold gaze swept over Yun Leng, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

This ungrateful old dog who betrayed the sect at a crucial moment is absolutely unforgivable!

With a thought, Xiao Yan directly activated the Heart Fire Seed he had already planted in the bodies of Yun Leng, Yun Han, and Ge Ye. In an instant, he silently burned Yun Leng to ashes. As for Yun Han and Ge Ye, they died on their way to the Imperial Capital, and no one knew what had happened.

Then, Xiao Yan's gaze returned to Yun Yun in his arms.

Yun Yun was now somewhat exhausted, both physically and mentally, and Xiao Yan couldn't bear to let her handle sect affairs any further, so he gently patted her waist and said softly:

"Take Senior Yun Shan to a place to rest first. I'll handle the sect affairs. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Misty Cloud Sect won't be in chaos."

"Alright, I'm counting on you, Xiao Yan."

Yun Yun was indeed in a state of utter confusion at this moment, and naturally obeyed Xiao Yan's words without question. She immediately used her Dou Qi Transformation Wings, carrying Yun Shan towards a mountain peak with a separate courtyard.

Xiao Yan then turned his head and looked at the people from the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Elders and stewards, please arrange for the disciples to rest first. I have some medicine here; please distribute it according to their needs, and any surplus can be put into the sect's medicine storehouse."

These past few days, the sect has been under lockdown. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave the mountain. If any powerful figures come to visit, I will handle it personally. Also, make plans for the repair of the sect's buildings. We will discuss these matters tomorrow at the Cloud Smoke Hall."

After saying that, Xiao Yan waved his arm, and countless small jade bottles flew out of his Storage Ring. Under the influence of his soul power, they flew directly towards the elders who had reached the Dou Wang realm.

The crowd was naturally filled with admiration for this Deputy Sect Leader had defeated two Dou Zong experts in a row. They immediately accepted the pills and began to act according to Xiao Yan's instructions.

After staring for a while to make sure there wouldn't be any problems, Xiao Yan headed in the direction Yun Yun had flown off to.
