Life-and-Death Gate

Li Changqing's words were an undisguised threat: he was using the entire Cloud Mist Sect to force Yun Yun to take him to the Life-and-Death Gate.

The trouble was, Yun Yun truly could not refuse. With her, a Dou Huang, directing the Cloud-Smoke Sun-Covering Formation, and every elder and disciple of the Cloud Mist Sect lending their strength, they might be able to withstand a Dou Ancestor.

But if she refused, Li Changqing would certainly kill her. Then, with only a few Dou Wang elders directing the Cloud-Smoke Sun-Covering Formation, they would never withstand a Dou Ancestor.

As for Yun Shan, he had been in secluded cultivation for years. Yun Yun could not even be sure whether he had broken through to Dou Ancestor or died in seclusion.

If Yun Shan had broken through, all would be well. If he had not, the Cloud Mist Sect might become history.

Yet the Life-and-Death Gate was the Cloud Mist Sect's most important place. It held the legacy left by its founder, Yun Potian, including numerous techniques and Dou Techniques. These were the sect's foundation.

"That's none of your concern. Don't think you can stall for time. I'm an impatient man."

Seeing that Yun Yun still
