Yun Shan

At that moment, an old man in white robes was kneeling on one knee in front of the old man, his head bowed deeply, large beads of sweat sliding down his forehead, and he dared not even breathe.

"Yun Leng! What's the matter? Explain yourself. You know I've said before, don't disturb my meditation unless it's something extremely important." Yun Shan turned his gaze to Yun Leng below and said calmly.

"Old Sect Master, something terrible has happened outside! I had no choice but to come to you!" Noticing Yun Shan's gaze, Yun Leng's ankles buckled, and he knelt down on his other leg as well. Tears streamed down his old face, and he looked utterly miserable.

"What happened outside? Where's Yun Yun?" Yun Shan frowned and asked.

"Old Sect Master, this is a long story! And it is also related to you!" Yun Leng hurriedly replied.

"Then briefly explain what happened!" Yun Shan stood up straight, his aura surging, a vast and majestic aura, like a giant dragon awakening from ancient times, spreading outwards with unparalleled pressure.

As this aura awakened, in the Misty Cloud Sect, a graceful and beautiful woman looked thoughtfully towards the Back Mountain.

His usually serene and otherworldly face was filled with solemnity.

Like a giant dragon awakening, a powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire Misty Cloud Mountain. At this moment, all the elders and disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect sensed the overwhelming pressure emanating from the depths of Misty Cloud Mountain.

All the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and knelt down in front of the source of the aura. Although the other elders did not kneel, they also respectfully bowed in the direction of the oppressive force.

"Teacher!"

After saying that, Yun Yun's figure flickered and disappeared into the main hall.

Meanwhile, Lin Qing, Jia Xing Tian, and the others, who were far away in the Imperial Capital, also noticed this aura.

"Yun Shan?" Lin Qing looked towards the distant Misty Cloud Mountain.

However, this oppressive aura came and went quickly.

"I'd better go take a look!" After thinking it over, Lin Qing decided to go to the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Young master, do you need me to come along?" Qing'er asked as she stepped out of the space.

"No need, you can stay in the pavilion!" Lin Qing shook his head. He possessed Semi-Saint level Heavenly Demon Puppet and Spatial Ancestral Talisman, so no one in the Northwest could keep him there.

Qing'er nodded slightly, then disappeared back into the space.

"Old Sect Master, it's like this, all of this is related to a Lin Qing." Upon hearing this, Yun Leng's spirits lifted, and he quickly recounted the series of events that had occurred since Lin Qing returned to the Jia Ma Empire.

For example, after Lin Qing returned from the Jia Nan Academy, he allowed the Xiao Clan of Wutan City to unify the Wutan City. Then, he and the sect leader took the Young Sect Master Nalan Yanran, to establish connections. Without notifying the Misty Cloud Sect, Xiao Clan family went directly to the Imperial Capital. Then, the Green Emperor Pavilion, led by Lin Qing, came with great force and directly unified most of the forces in the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake-People Tribe. The current situation is very unfavorable to the Misty Cloud Sect. In fact, the Green Emperor Pavilion is completely targeting the Misty Cloud Sect, as if the next step is to annex and destroy the Misty Cloud Sect.

Of course, it must be said that Yun Leng, as the Great Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, also possesses considerable ability to handle affairs. Therefore, when discussing these matters, he placed himself and the Misty Cloud Sect in the position of victims.

Of course, most of what he said was true, but something was inadvertently mixed in, which completely changed the nature of some things.

However, Lin Qing wouldn't care even if he knew. Not only does he understand what kind of people Yun Leng and Yun Shan are, but even if he didn't know, he wouldn't care about the thoughts of a One-Star Dou Ancestor and High-Rank Dou Wang.

After listening to Yun Leng's story, Yun Shan's face remained expressionless. He simply lowered his head silently, his face shrouded in shadow by the Moonlight Stone and the darkness. Then, he slowly raised his head, his hand emerging from his sleeve. He glanced coldly at Yun Leng kneeling on the ground, rolled up his sleeve, and said in an icy tone:

"Yun Leng! You want to provoke an Eighth-Rank Alchemist? Are you trying to send me to my death? I know your temperament; you can only be trusted halfway at most."

After saying that, Yun Shan conjured a giant energy hand and lashed it out at Yun Leng:

"Smack!"

Yun Leng was directly slapped with energy onto the stone wall in the secret room, and a word "Tai" appeared printed on the stone tablet.

"Thump!"

Yun Leng fell directly off the stone wall, his body crashing to the ground.

"Old Sect Master, spare my life! I was only thinking of the sect!"

After Yun Leng fell to the ground, he immediately lay down and kowtowed repeatedly to Yun Leng.

"Alright! I know what happened! I'll handle this. You should use that energy on your cultivation. If you had even half the attitude you have when you fabricated and distorted the facts, you would have already become Dou Emperor. Alright! You can leave now!"

Yun Shan said, feeling somewhat weary.

In order to break through the barrier of Dou Zong, gain a longer lifespan, and revitalize the Misty Cloud Sect, he had no choice but to cooperate with the people of the Soul Hall. Unexpectedly, not long after cooperating with them, he heard that a high-level Alchemist had come to the Jia Ma Empire. At first, he did not pay much attention to it, but he did not expect that the other party would enable his old rival Jia Xing Tian to break through to Dou Zong.

When he tried to find the other person, that person had already gone to the Jia Nan Academy. Unexpectedly, the Alchemist has reappeared and even established the Green Emperor Pavilion. He felt that the situation was getting out of control. Now he regretted cooperating with those people from the Soul Hall. If it weren't for them, would they have been able to break through to the Dou Zong as smoothly as Jia Xing Tian, instead of being controlled by the people from the Soul Hall like they are now?

"Yes!" Yun Leng didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. He quickly got up and ran out of the Secret Chamber. After running out of the Secret Chamber, he condensed his Dou Qi Wings and flew towards his residence.

"Damn it, I'm just a Dou Zong, not the legendary Dou Sheng. Asking me to provoke an Eighth-Rank Alchemist with High-Rank Dou Zong Dou Venerable cultivation and a Dou Zun following me is like Yun Leng is trying to send me to my death!"

After seeing Yun Leng leave, Yun Shan, unusually, started cursing.

"Forget it, let Yun'er handle it! Also, let's inform Protector Wu!"

At this moment, Yun Shan had no intention of targeting Lin Qing at all; he only wanted to preserve his ancestors' legacy and, incidentally, let things fall apart.

' Yun Leng! Has he also joined the Soul Hall, or is he just trying to sideline me as before?'

Seeing Yun Leng emerge from the teacher's secluded Secret Chamber and fly away, Yun Yun's mind was filled with doubts. However, now was clearly not the time to seek answers, so she could only suppress her doubts, conceal her aura, and quietly observe the surroundings of the Secret Chamber.

Unbeknownst to Yun Yun, Lin Qing was also quietly watching her from above.

Finally, after a while, a cloud of black mist rose from outside the secret Secret Chamber where Yun Shan was in seclusion. The black mist quickly drifted into the Secret Chamber, and under Lin Qing's observation, it rapidly condensed in the Secret Chamber, eventually transforming into a deep-colored cloud about ten feet wide.
