A Dou Emperor Helper for Free

At the entrance to Misty Cloud Mountain, the five Dou Wang level elders of the Misty Cloud Sect stood ready, staring at the four people opposite them as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and call your sect leader Yun Yun out. We're not here to fight."

Before Qin Yu could speak, Hai Bo Dong spoke first.

His words, coupled with his undisguised Dou Emperor- level aura, made the Misty Cloud Sect elders opposite him even more flustered.

One Dou Emperor and two Dou Wang —it seems a few of them would have a hard time dealing with them.

"You are... Ice Emperor? Senior Hai Bo Dong?"

After staring for a moment, Elder Yun Leng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered Hai Bo Dong's identity.

"Good to know. I'm not here to cause trouble. Call your sect leader out."

"Uh... Senior Ice Emperor, you may not know, but the former sect master went into seclusion several years ago and forbids anyone from disturbing him."

When Hai Bo Dong disappeared, Yun Shan was still the sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, so Yun Leng subconsciously thought that Hai Bo Dong was looking for the former sect leader, Yun Shan.

"Don't you understand me? I'm not looking for that old bastard Yun Shan, I'm looking for your current sect leader! Yun Yun!"

Hai Bo Dong had clearly lost his patience, and his angry shout left Yun Leng stunned for a long time.

"Hey, senior, don't be in such a hurry. Ignorance is no excuse."

Just as Qin Yu was about to offer some advice, Yun Yun's figure flew out from within Misty Cloud Mountain.

"Who dares to act so recklessly in my Misty Cloud Sect?"

Yun Yun's tone softened halfway through her sentence.

She initially thought some madman had come to her Misty Cloud Sect to provoke trouble, but...

"Alright, now that they're here, let them go."

Amidst the bewildered gazes of the elders of the Misty Cloud Sect and Yun Yun herself, the group gradually moved away from Misty Cloud Mountain.

"Elder, what... what's going on?"

"You're asking me?! Who am I supposed to ask?!"

"How does the Sect Master know Lord Ice Emperor?"

"You're focusing on the wrong thing. Can't you see those three young people next to the Ice Emperor? Two Dou Wang and one Dou Ling!"

As soon as they left, the elders, who had been meek and hesitant to speak, suddenly started chattering like the village's intelligence network of old men and women.

"Alright, alright, go back now. Don't tell anyone about what happened today."

A complex emotion flashed in the eyes of the First Elder, Yun Leng. With a command, the other elders dispersed.

"So... Senior Hai Bo Dong, you'll be coming to help too?"

On the other hand, after some explanation, Yun Yun also understood the ins and outs of the matter.

However, she still felt it was a little unreal.

He only set off a few days late, and somehow he ended up with a Dou Emperor as a helper for free?

Moreover, this Dou Emperor was a powerful figure from many years ago, on par with her master Yun Shan — the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong?

"Yes, I've just recovered my strength and need a battle to warm up my muscles."

"But let me make this clear beforehand, my appearance fee is very expensive."

Yun Yun nodded silently, her expression remaining unchanged, though she was actually having a terrible headache.

For several days, she still couldn't figure out how to explain things to Qin Yu and clear up the previous misunderstanding.

Or rather, she considered many possible wordings, but ultimately rejected them all.

Waaah... Is there anyone who can save her?

"Sect Master Yun, there's no need to be so troubled. Senior Hai Bo Dong has some connections with your master, so he shouldn't make things difficult for you."

Qin Yu's casual remark brought a slight sense of relief to Yun Yun, who was currently troubled.

Hai Bo Dong glanced at Qin Yu with some surprise and began to secretly transmit his voice:

"What are you doing, kid? Yun Yun is so much older than you."

"Look at how gloomy she looks. If we don't let her relax a bit, the atmosphere will become tense."

Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian followed leisurely behind, watching the backs of the three people in front of them and whispering to each other.

"Besides, do you really think the rewards the Misty Cloud Sect can offer are worthwhile? I'd rather you have a Emperor's Extreme Pill made by myself."

"Are you willing to refine the Emperor's Extreme Pill for me?"

"If you want it, you can extend your bodyguard service for another five years."

Upon hearing this, Hai Bo Dong's eyes widened immediately:

"Five years?! That's incredibly unfair!"

"Take it or leave it."

"Would two and a half years be alright?"

"Make a deal."

Hai Bo Dong: That was hasty; we should have cut the price even lower.

Fine, two and a half years it is. Compared to this, Hai Bo Dong is clearly more interested in something else:

"I say, a single Emperor's Extreme Pill is enough to keep me in this remote border town for another two and a half years. This deal just doesn't seem worth it."

Hai Bo Dong was very curious: who exactly was the person Qin Yu wanted him to protect?

Is a simple mother and daughter really worth Qin Yu going to so much trouble for?

Not only did he use the favor he had with others on this, but he was also willing to add another Emperor's Extreme Pill.

"If I think they're worth it, then they are."

Qin Yu didn't explain much, but just that one sentence was enough to shake Hai Bo Dong to his core.

"Alright, kid, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Because they needed to accommodate the flight speed of the two girls behind them, it took the group several days to enter the Magic Beast Mountains and get close to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave.

Meanwhile, another "old acquaintance" of Qin Yu was engaged in fierce battle with Magical Beast in the Magic Beast Mountains.

"Flame Splitting Tsunami!"

Xiao Yan swung the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand, striking the head of the near-second-tier Magical Beast in front of him.

The scorching flames instantly blasted half of the Magical Beast's head off, and its massive body swayed twice before crashing to the ground.

Xiao Yan put away the ruler, let out a long breath, and shook his slightly numb arm.

This Earth Tier Dou Skills is quite powerful, but its energy consumption is also truly astonishing.

"Indeed, your training over this period of time has not been in vain."

The figure of the Yao Lao floated out of the Storage Ring, stroking his beard and nodding.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan slung the Heavy Xuan Ruler over his shoulder, looked up at the sky, and exuded a sense of high spirits.

"That's natural."

The Yao Lao remained silent, a subtle thought stirring within him.

This kid has indeed been having a very smooth run lately, but it is precisely this smooth run that makes Yao Lao feel vaguely uneasy.

What Xiao Yan needs most right now is a real challenge that pushes him to his limits.

However, Yao Lao didn't say these words aloud.

Xiao Yan is currently in a good mood and has indeed made good progress in his cultivation, so it's not the right time to pour cold water on him.

"Roar!!!"

Just as Xiao Yan was about to boast a few more words, a loud and violent lion's roar exploded from the depths of the Mountain Range, shaking the leaves of the surrounding trees and causing them to fall in a rustling sound.

The ground beneath Xiao Yan's feet even trembled slightly, and several low-level Magical Beast hiding in the nearby bushes were frightened and scattered in all directions.

Xiao Yan's smugness vanished instantly, his gaze sharpening as he looked in the direction from which the lion's roar had come.

"Teacher, what's all this noise..."

Go take a look, but don't get too close.

Yao Lao's expression became more serious. Xiao Yan nodded, slung the Heavy Xuan Ruler over his shoulder, and rushed towards the direction from which the lion's roar had come.

"That's... wow, what a huge lion!"
