Jia Ma Empire Has a Dou Zong!

When asked about Hai Bodong's assessment that he was slightly better than Jia Xing Tian, Yun Shan simply shook his head noncommittally.

He was certainly aware of this!

He's not bragging, but if he and Jia Xing Tian were to fight to the death, he'd be more than 70% sure he'd win.

However, the person he was referring to was not Jia Xing Tian!

"What? Could it be that the strongest person in the Jia Ma Empire that you mentioned, Sect Master Yun Shan, isn't you, nor is it Jia Xing Tian?"

Seeing Yun Shan shake his head, Hai Bodong immediately made a guess.

However, Hai Bodong searched through all his memories but could not find anyone in the Jia Ma Empire who could rival Yun Shan in strength, let alone surpass him.

"Hai Bodong, you know, I used to be arrogant, thinking I was the strongest in the Jia Ma Empire! However, I later realized I was wrong. True strength doesn't care about being the so-called strongest."

Yun Shan spoke eloquently.

His tone carried a hint of regret.

However, after hearing what Yun Shan said, Hai Bodong felt somewhat confused.

Of course, he could still understand the general meaning behind Yun Shan's words.

Hidden within the territory of the Jia Ma Empire is a powerful figure whose strength surpasses even Yun Shan, a Peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor!

It's just that the other party might not want to be famous, so they're hiding their strength.

This is Hai Bodong's understanding.

It can only be said that Hai Bodong's understanding was not wrong.

"Sect Master Yun Shan, could you tell me a little about the strongest person in the Jia Ma Empire that you mentioned?"

At this moment, Hai Bodong naturally became interested in this so-called strongest person in the Jia Ma Empire.

As for whether Yun Shan was just bluffing himself?

To be honest, Hai Bodong didn't think so.

After all, given Yun Shan's status, there's no point in him doing this, is there?

However, when asked by Hai Bodong, Yun Shan simply shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Hai Bodong, I can't tell you about that person. However, I believe that one day in the future, you will find out who he is!"

As he spoke, Yun Shan revealed a half-smile.

He could already imagine the shocked expressions on everyone's faces when Xiao Lin revealed his true cultivation level someday.

That's right, in that transaction not long ago, Yun Shan had already witnessed a glimpse of Xiao Lin's true strength!

It is precisely because of this that Yun Shan's mindset has undergone such a significant change.

Of course, all of this was done intentionally by Xiao Lin.

Because he was going to make a deal with Yun Shan, there were some things he had to reveal.

In any transaction, strength is the best guarantee, isn't it?

Besides, given the nature of their transaction, Yun Shan wouldn't believe it if he said he only had the strength of Dou Wang!

Therefore, in the recent transaction, Xiao Lin took the initiative to reveal a portion of his strength to Yun Shan.

Naturally, the strongest person in the Jia Ma Empire that Yun Shan mentioned was Xiao Lin.

It can be said that after witnessing just a fraction of Xiao Lin's strength, Yun Shan was extremely grateful that he and the Misty Cloud Sect had chosen to befriend Xiao Lin and the Xiao Household from the very beginning!

This not only prevented their Misty Cloud Sect offending a monster, but also brought them immense benefits!

Never before had Yun Shan felt so fortunate about his attitude toward the Xiao Household and Xiao Lin.

It was precisely because of his attitude towards Xiao Lin and the Xiao Household that the deal was made not long ago, wasn't it?

Recalling the past, Yun Shan could no longer conceal the excitement in his heart.

"Is that so? I'm really being presumptuous. However, I also look forward to the day when the person you mentioned, Sect Master Yun Shan, will reveal his strength."

To receive such high praise from Sect Master Yun Shan, the other party must have already broken through to the Dou Zong Realm, right?

Who would have thought that my Jia Ma Empire would have Dou Zong hidden away?

It seems that my decision to travel for a while after this incident was the right one!

At this moment, Hai Bodong only believed that Xiao Lin, as described by Yun Shan, was a Dou Zong.

As for the Dou Venerable above that, he wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

Of course, even Yun Shan himself only knew that Xiao Lin possessed at least the strength of Dou Zong.

Yun Shan was also unclear about Xiao Lin's exact level of Dou Qi.

After all, Xiao Lin's deal with Yun Shan only revealed a portion of his strength; there was no need to expose his entire true nature to others.

That's completely unnecessary!

Of course, after learning from Yun Shan that there were still Dou Zong hidden within the Jia Ma Empire, Hai Bodong became even more determined to go out and train to improve his strength.

This only means that Hai Bodong in even greater danger!

To put it jokingly, the realm of Dou Ling is already beckoning to Hai Bodong.

Similarly, Hai Bodong's days of selling maps in the desert are not far off.

At this point, after a brief exchange, the challenge initiated by Hai Bodong against Yun Shan came to an end.

As expected, Yun Shan won and Hai Bodong lost.

After the Battle of the Dou Emperors ended, everyone returned to the main hall of the Misty Cloud Sect!

"How's Hai Bodong doing?"

On the way back to the main hall, Jia Xing Tian suddenly approached Hai Bodong and asked a question.

At the same time, Fa Ma also came over from the side.

"What do you mean, 'how come'? Didn't you already guess the outcome?"

Hai Bodong glanced at the two of them sideways and said, somewhat speechless.

Why did he always feel like the two of them were there to tease him?

"Of course we guessed. We're just curious about what you said to Yun Shan at the end."

Fa Ma then added from the side.

Upon hearing Fa Ma's question, Hai Bodong suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Jia Xing Tian was curious as to why Hai Bodong had stopped.

"Nothing."

Shaking his head, Hai Bodong strode back toward the main hall of the Misty Cloud Sect.

However, after a moment's thought, Hai Bodong still voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind.

"Do you think there are any other experts above the Dou Emperor within the Jia Ma Empire besides us?"

Hai Bodong's question was relatively conservative.

"Hai Bodong, what do you mean by that? If we don't count magical beasts, within the Jia Ma Empire, there are only the three of us, plus Yun Shan, right?"

Jia Xing Tian answered with great confidence.

After all, as the guardian of the imperial Imperial Family, he naturally knew the most about the intelligence of the Jia Ma Empire.

In this respect, neither the Mittel Family, nor the Alchemist Guild, nor even the Misty Cloud Sect can compare with their Imperial Family!

However, Hai Bodong shook his head in response to Jia Xing Tian's answer.

"No, it's not just the four of us. Yun Shan just told me that there are Dou Zong within our Jia Ma Empire!"

Hai Bodong's words were truly astonishing!
