Yun Shan, the Little Brother

Recently.

Yun Shan had been wildly expanding the Misty Cloud Sect's power.

He planted hidden agents in the empire's major cities.

Intending to seize control of the empire's armies.

And thus completely control the Jia Ma Empire.

To dominate the northwestern region of the Dou Qi Continent.

He even proclaimed that one day, he would rule the Dou Qi Continent!

With Hai Bodong's current movement speed, it took only a few moments for him to easily evade the layers of guards within the Misty Cloud Sect and arrive directly at Yun Shan's secluded cultivation site.

At the same time.

Inside Yun Shan's secluded cultivation site.

Ever since Wu Protector had left not long ago.

Yun Shan, who had been steadily consolidating his realm.

Had constantly felt uneasy.

After successfully stabilizing his cultivation at one-star Dou Zong, he had even lost the mood to continue cultivating.

At that thought.

He could not help rising to his feet.

Leaving the spot where he had sat cross-legged for many years.

Inside a cave on the back mountain of the Misty Cloud Sect.

He walked slowly while pondering the source of his unease.

"My Misty Cloud Sect has, these past few years..."

"Developed quite well under Yun'er's leadership, and we've never provoked any powerful enemies."

"With the Jia Ma Imperial Clan's current strength, they simply cannot threaten the Misty Cloud Sect as it is now!"

"Besides, Yun'er's dou qi cultivation has been steadily improving over the years. Looking across the entire Jia Ma Empire, there are very few who could pose a threat to her."

"Sure enough, the crux of the problem is most likely Hai Bodong, whose strength has surged recently."

"However, according to Wu Protector, that old fellow Hai Bodong may now possess at least Dou Zun cultivation."

"Fortunately, Wu Protector set out some time ago to invite a Venerable Elder from the Hall of Souls."

"Judging by the time, he and the Hall of Souls Venerable Elder he invited should be returning soon, right?"

"Mm! With that safeguard, even if that old fellow Hai Bodong truly is that powerful!"

"I, Yun Shan, have no need to fear him!"

By the end of his muttering.

Yun Shan seemed to be psyching himself up.

His words brimmed with confidence.

"You look well, Old Sect Master Yun Shan!"

At that moment, a voice that Yun Shan found somewhat familiar suddenly rang out within the cave.

Immediately afterward, a dense cloud of crimson energy particles appeared before Yun Shan.

A moment later, those crimson energy particles rapidly assembled into the form of a White-haired Man.

"You are... Hai Bodong!"

Seeing Hai Bodong's bizarre method.

Yun Shan sucked in a cold breath.

He could not help taking two steps back as he cried out in alarm.

After all, although Hai Bodong's dou qi cultivation was currently only at the level of a five-star Dou Zong.

Strictly speaking, the current Hai Bodong.

Had already completely transcended.

The category of ordinary humans.

Between him and Yun Shan.

There was a fundamental difference in the essence of their lives.

The instant Yun Shan met Hai Bodong.

His body had frantically begun warning him!

Thus, Yun Shan had no desire to be casually crushed to death by Hai Bodong. He only wanted to leave this cave immediately.

At the same time, Hai Bodong, who had clearly sensed the emotional changes within Yun Shan.

Immediately wore a smug expression as he reassured Yun Shan:

"Brother Yun Shan, why are you so tense? Relax, I really won't do anything to you!"

"After all, we've been close friends for many years!"

Hearing Hai Bodong's words, Yun Shan forced his violently pounding heart to calm down for the moment.

"Hehe! May I ask what business brings you here, Elder Brother Hai, to my secluded cultivation site on the Misty Cloud Sect's back mountain?"

After taking several deep breaths.

Yun Shan gradually calmed down.

He asked with an embarrassed yet cautious expression.

"Hehe! It's like this. I, Hai Bodong, only recently returned to the Jia Ma Imperial Capital."

"And I heard that Brother Yun Shan harbors ambitions to dominate the entire Jia Ma Imperial Capital, even the Dou Qi Continent!"

"Today, I merely came to verify it with you, little brother! Don't misunderstand!"

"I truly have no other intentions!"

Hai Bodong responded to Yun Shan before him with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

Yun Shan's face immediately darkened, and he hurriedly explained to Hai Bodong in panic:

"Elder Brother Hai! You jest!"

"Those are all baseless rumors!"

"After all, with you in the Jia Ma Imperial Capital, how could I, Yun Shan, dare commit such an act of overreach!"

"Enough!"

"I can't be bothered wasting more words on an idiot like you, who gets sold off and still happily counts the money for the one who sold him!"

Before his words had even faded, Hai Bodong's figure.

Instantly flashed right up before Yun Shan.

Then, with a casual wave of his hand, Yun Shan's entire Soul Body was forcibly pulled out and seized in Hai Bodong's right hand.

Afterward, Hai Bodong extracted a small clump of black matter from the core of Yun Shan's Soul Body.

Finally, with another casual wave.

He destroyed those extremely bizarre black energy particles so thoroughly that not even a trace remained!

After doing all this, Hai Bodong returned Yun Shan's Soul Body, which was in a state of extreme terror.

To the body beside it.

Although the entire process of manipulating the Soul Body.

Had occurred in but an instant.

It still left Old Sect Master Yun Shan.

Whose tender heart had never endured much great terror.

With an unforgettable traumatic shadow.

After completing this series of routine actions in an instant, Hai Bodong once again rubbed Yun Shan's head.

Then, with a smug expression, he said to Yun Shan:

"Brother Yun Shan! Since you acknowledge me, Hai Bodong, as your elder brother, I naturally won't treat you poorly!"

"Rest assured! The time bomb planted deep in your soul by that Hall of Souls dog."

"I've just completely dealt with it!"

"This little brother Yun Shan thanks Big Brother for coming to my aid!"

Although Yun Shan was somewhat displeased by Hai Bodong rubbing his head like that.

Considering that the man had just helped remove the sinister method left behind by that old dog Wu Protector.

With his fear and gratitude toward Hai Bodong intertwined, Yun Shan put on a fawning expression and spoke.

Seeing how tactful this old fellow Yun Shan was!

Hai Bodong immediately patted his left shoulder.

Then he said with a smile, "Hehe!"

"Brother Yun Shan truly knows what's good for him! Since that's the case, this elder brother won't stand on ceremony!"

"How about this? From now on, you and the Misty Cloud Sect behind you will submit to my Mite'er Family!"

Hai Bodong paused, then continued with a smile:

"Well? Are you happy?"

"Hehe! This little brother is honored by Big Brother's regard!"

"Since Big Brother has spoken! From now on, this little brother Yun Shan will lead the entire Misty Cloud Sect and serve Big Brother like a dog or horse within the Jia Ma Empire and even the Northwest Continent!"

With the influence imposed by Wu Protector of the Hall of Souls having been dispelled by Hai Bodong, Yun Shan was no fool.

Upon hearing Hai Bodong's words, he clearly understood that Hai Bodong was warning him.

If he dared refuse outright again.

He would definitely not leave this cave alive.

Thus, Yun Shan immediately put his rather impressive acting skills to use.

He dropped to his knees at once.

Then sincerely made his promise to Hai Bodong.
