Failing to Distinguish Who Came First

Failing to distinguish between primary and secondary

Queen Medusa's cold voice rang in everyone's ears at the Misty Cloud Sect: "Yun Yun, come out and greet us."

The entire Misty Cloud Mountain is in complete chaos!

Sensing the immense, dragon-like aura emanating from it, all the Misty Cloud Sect disciples couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

This aura was actually several times stronger than that of their sect leader Yun Yun!

Some of the weaker individuals were unable to maintain their footing even under this immense pressure, and this was merely Medusa's casual "demonstration."

"The Dou Zong Stronghold is terrifying" is not a joke, although many people take it as a joke.

"This momentum—"

Nalan Yan was startled awake from her cultivation. Staring at the outside of Misty Cloud Mountain, a look of shock appeared on her face.

"A Dou--- Dou Zong?!"

"When did the Jia Ma Empire produce a Dou Zong Stronghold?!"

Almost everyone has this question, but no one answers it for them.

Some elders of the Misty Cloud Sect immediately took action, since the other party was clearly up to no good, and some weaker disciples needed to be accommodated in advance.

Those with considerable strength should be prepared to set up the Misty Cloud Sect's protective formation at any time. The "Cloud Smoke Covering Sun Formation" was left by Dou Zun. If Dou Emperor leads the formation, with elders, deacons, and disciples providing Dou Qi, it's not impossible to hold off a Dou Zong.

Of course, it's best not to fight, after all, Yun Yun is only a one- or three-star Dou Emperor, and once the formation is broken...

Chaos reigned within the Misty Cloud Sect, while outside, Yun Yun Misty Cloud Sect appeared, her Dou Qi Wings unfurling behind her. She flew into the air, defying Queen Medusa's oppressive aura, and bowed to Medusa, saying, "I am Yun Yun, Misty Cloud Sect Master, here to celebrate Queen Medusa's successful breakthrough to the Dou Zong."

Yun Yun's voice entered the Misty Cloud Sect, immediately causing even greater chaos within the Misty Cloud Sect.

The Dou Wang elders of the Misty Cloud Sect also appeared behind Yun Yun, but under the pressure of Queen Medusa, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Queen Medusa remained noncommittal to Yun Yun's words, simply standing beside Xiao Yan with her arms crossed, appearing completely uninterested in anything.

She was waiting for someone.

With such a commotion here, Jia Xingtian and the others wouldn't be unaware. In any case, the Dou Emperor will arrive quickly, and the effect will be better once everyone is here.

Oh, I forgot to mention, Queen Medusa was next to Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, but a couple of steps behind her.

He has a very strong sense of responsibility as a "subordinate".

Seeing that Queen Medusa remained silent, Yun Yun turned to look at Xiao Yan, the young man standing next to Queen Medusa.

---- Dou Ling?

Yun Yun had never met Xiao Yan before, nor had she ever seen any portrait of her. After all, even if someone did paint a portrait of Xiao Yan, she wouldn't care.

However, she wasn't stupid; she could deduce that Xiao Yan's identity was not simple.

Yun Yun then clasped her hands in a fist and palm salute to Xiao Yan, "This lady—"

"The Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan."

Yun Yun was taken aback. This name----

Although Nalan Yan is not Yun Yun's disciple, he is still the most outstanding "senior brother" of the Misty Cloud Sect in this generation.

Therefore, Yun Yun had heard some of the gossip.

"My lady, Xiao Yan, my disciple from the Misty Cloud Sect was ignorant and thus requested to annul the engagement with the Xiao Clan. I hope you will forgive me."

"Oh, it's nothing. I didn't like him anyway."

Yun Yun:

Meanwhile, within the Misty Cloud Sect, the eldest disciple Nalan Yan, who was organizing his fellow disciples for an "emergency evacuation," nearly tripped and fell over upon hearing the conversation outside. "Cough!"

"Xiao Yan? Queen Medusa?!"

No, the Three-Year Agreement hasn't even been finalized yet! And what's with this Queen Medusa?

Yun Yun was at a loss for words, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

"Oh, you're here?" Xiao Yan turned to look at her side.

The pressure from the Dou Zong was too obvious, and since Misty Cloud Mountain was not far from the Imperial Capital, Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma quickly flew over.

Nalan Jie, Mittel Tengshan, and other Dou Wang also arrived late, stopping at a more distant location.

Hai Bodong, on the other hand, had already found a good spot in the air and was already hovering there.

The gazes of Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, and Mittel Tengshan were first drawn to Queen Medusa, prompting them to exclaim, "The Dou Zong Stronghold is terrifying!"

Then, they spotted Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong not far away.

Those who knew Xiao Yan and those who knew Hai Bodong were all completely dumbfounded.

Nalan Jie, in particular, began to wonder if he was hallucinating.

The group immediately gathered around Hai Bodong and whispered to him to inquire about the situation.

"It's good that they've arrived," Xiao Yan said, looking at Yun Yun. "Sect Master Yun, you recently led a group to forcibly enter the Snake-People Tribe. Shouldn't you give an explanation?"

Although Yun Yun wore a "bulky" black robe to conceal her figure when she went to the Snake-People Tribe with Gu He.

But in reality, it's just "burying one's head in the sand."

A female Dou Emperor with wind attribute, whose strength is around three stars, is surprisingly easy to guess.

If you say I have no evidence, sorry, I'm the one with the bigger fist, I don't need to talk to you about evidence.

Even if Medusa came up and wiped out the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun could only hold back.

Facing the "cold" Queen Medusa and the smiling Xiao Yan, the Misty Cloud Sect was under immense pressure.

After all, they all knew some of the background. Not long ago, after the mysterious White Robe Dou Zong appeared and helped Yun Yun and the others escape from the Snake-People Tribe, Yun Yun took the "elderly version" of the Da Dou Shi Gu He and rushed back.

Upon returning to the Misty Cloud Sect, Gu He's tragic state caused a great uproar.

After Yun Yun's explanation, everyone learned what had happened to Gu He: he failed to steal the Heavenly Flames, his Storage Ring was stolen, his cultivation was sealed, and he almost lost his life!

In fact, Gu He only brought one three-star Dou Emperor, two Dou Wang, and two Dou Ling. If they were surrounded by the Snake-People Tribe, it wouldn't be impossible for them all to be left behind.

Putting aside everything else, a Queen Medusa at the Peak Dou Emperor could wipe them out.

Gu He was so brave because he thought that Queen Medusa might not offend a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, so he went to make the trade with the Pill in his pocket.

The Snake-People Tribe were desperately short of Pill, Gu He was confident that the bargaining chips he offered would be enough to sway Queen Medusa and secure the Heavenly Flames in exchange.

But he clearly forgot one thing: even if he killed you, the Pill would still be mine!

If he only takes two Dou Ling Pill and some Sixth-Grade Pill, Queen Medusa might not make the deal and let them go.

However, the Transformation Pill, a High-grade Seventh-rank Pill, was definitely worth her going all in on.

After all, the Transformation Pill would still be useful even if she broke through to the Sixth Rank, or even if she broke through to the Dou Zong.

Seventh Rank- tier or higher magical beasts can transform into human form, but this only changes their appearance.

Whether it's strength or cultivation speed, transforming into human form will affect everything; in fact, in some aspects, it's even inferior to the original form.

With the Transformation Pill, the talents of magical beasts will be fundamentally improved; those below the Seventh Rank who cannot transform into human form can now do so.

It can naturally transform into a human form, and the cultivation speed of the human form will be faster than that of the original body. This is the main reason why the Transformation Pill is so valuable.

There are no simple High-grade Seventh-rank Pill. For magical beasts, the "Transformation Pill" can be described as a complete transformation.

Therefore, Gu He only brought such a small group of people, but he brought such precious Pill. It would be a disservice to him not to take them.

Because of the appearance of the "mysterious Dou Zong", Gu He was lucky enough to escape with his life, but that was all he had left.

The Pill is definitely gone, but the seal—

He couldn't solve it either.

With no other option, Gu He had to go out and look for people.

Then, the Imperial Family and the Alchemist Guild found out about this, and in a sense, the Pill King was completely doomed.

Although only a very few powerful individuals know this.

While the appearance of the mysterious Dou Zong among the Snake-People Tribe is a significant event, he was likely there for the Heavenly Flames Heavenly Flames, and probably left after taking it.

Therefore, not many people cared about that mysterious Dou Zong.

The guild master of the Alchemist Guild Fa Ma, examined the "elderly version" of Gu He and concluded that he could not break the seal.

To break the seal, you can only seek help from Queen Medusa, or from a more advanced Alchemist or powerful expert.

Gu He had already spent a considerable amount of his fortune to obtain the Transformation Pill, and now he could neither afford nor find a more advanced Alchemist.

To get Queen Medusa to break the seal on him, you'd need at least a Dou Zong; otherwise, you'd just be sending yourself to your death.

But he couldn't get Dou Zong to come.

So the Gu He was left stranded here, in a very awkward situation.

As a result, before he and Misty Cloud Sect could make any further moves, just a few days later, Queen Medusa actually broke through to the Dou Zong and came knocking on their door.

This seems like they've come with ill intentions.

(Xiao Yan refined a Seven-Colored Flame and Green Lotus Core Flame among the Snake-People Tribe without spending much time, which matches up here)

"Your Majesty, I am willing to compensate the Snake-People Tribe for the losses caused this time, double the amount." Forced by circumstances, Yun Yun directly yielded.

"Ahem," Xiao Yan cleared her throat, "Sect Master Yun, someone from the Snake-People Tribe has died."

The atmosphere froze instantly.

That's right, some Snake-People must have died along the way, but Queen Medusa may not care about those ordinary Snake-People. She might just let it go and give them some Pill as compensation.

But with Xiao Yan's sharp tongue, this matter is unlikely to end well.

Yun Yun couldn't help but frown and say, "Your Excellency, although you have joined the Snake-People Tribe, you are still human after all. Why—"

"You've got one thing wrong," Queen Medusa interrupted. "I invited Alliance Leader Xiao back, and my evolution was only successful thanks to her."

"Now, her status among the Snake-People Tribe is no less than mine."
