Riding a Cloud, Yun Yun

Before long, the two parties passed each other in the sky above a mountain range.

Seeing that the newcomer was a woman with a voluptuous figure and a lovely face, Yao Chen immediately teased Sun Qi.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I never expected the Jia Ma Empire to have such a beauty."

"Disciple, let me teach you something. An older woman knows how to dote on a man. That little girl beside you hasn't even grown up yet, so why not marry a woman like this first?"

"Once I'm resurrected, I can even help look after my grand-disciple!"

Back in the Central Plains, Yao Chen had been quite the romantic charmer, and countless young women had fallen for him.

But that had also brought him plenty of trouble. So many girls liked him that he didn't know how to choose, yet if he tried to have them all, he could easily be beaten to death.

After all, those admirers of his all came from formidable backgrounds and possessed considerable talent themselves.

No matter how strong a man was, he still feared the Asura field.

In the end, he had chosen to go traveling and leave the matter for later.

Seeing his teacher acting like a disrespectable old man again, Sun Qi hurriedly said, "Teacher, I'm still a child. I'm not even as old as junior brother."

Yun Yun looked at the three people sitting on a cloud as they flew toward the Jia Ma Imperial Capital, a peculiar expression on her face.

"Riding a cloud?"

It was the first time she had seen anyone ride a cloud, but could a cloud really be ridden?

After passing Yun Yun, Sun Qi rode his cloud onward and finally reached the Jia Ma Imperial Capital.

Throughout the journey, Sun Qi had made no attempt to conceal his presence.

This remote place wasn't the Central Plains, where Dou Emperors walked everywhere. There was no need to hide his presence, and releasing it could spare him a great deal of trouble.

The moment the presences of the two Dou Wangs, Sun Qi and Zi Yan, appeared in the Jia Ma Imperial Capital, they drew the attention of its experts.

"Those presences... two Dou Wang experts!"

The first to open his eyes was, of course, the Jia Ma Empire's foremost Dou Emperor, who had no idea how to advance to Dou Zong.

Jia Xingtian's eyes snapped open. "Releasing their presences so brazenly... it seems these visitors have come with ill intentions."

"Oh well. I haven't made the slightest progress toward breaking through to Dou Zong. I'd better come out of seclusion and take a look."

At the same time, an upturned alchemy cauldron slowly lifted, and a gaze fixed itself on the distance.

At the Mittel Merchant Guild, Mittel Tengshan, who never opened his eyes, kept them shut this time as well.

Sun Qi's arrival soon alarmed every expert in the imperial capital.

They naturally wouldn't have cared about a single Dou Wang, but two Dou Wangs made things rather intriguing.

"Hehe, there are quite a few experts in this Jia Ma Imperial Capital."

Yao Chen's cultivation far surpassed theirs, and his soul power instantly covered the entire Jia Ma Imperial Capital.

He could see at a glance how many experts were in the city.

"Fly any farther, and we'll be in the Misty Cloud Sect's territory."

"Junior brother, how are you feeling?"

This was Xiao Yan's first visit to the Misty Cloud Sect, and he had come to make trouble. As a mere Dou Zhe, he had come to make trouble at the Jia Ma Empire's strongest sect. It would have been a lie to say he wasn't trembling.

But when he thought of the humiliation of having his engagement broken off, his gaze gradually steadied again.

"I'm fine." He gave Sun Qi a reassuring look.

For some reason, Xiao Yan felt completely at ease as long as his teacher and senior brother were there.

He recalled how the Great Sage Equal to Heaven had wreaked havoc in Heaven in his previous life, only to be suppressed by the Tathagata of the Western Heaven.

His own senior brother was about to make a scene at the Misty Cloud Sect. Surely he wouldn't be sealed inside Five Elements Mountain?

Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey. There aren't any monks in the Jia Ma Empire, so where would a Tathagata come from?

"Old bastards of the Misty Cloud Sect! Your grandpa, the Great Sage, is here!"

The thunderous shout spread from the Misty Cloud Sect's gates, shaking the sect and giving even the old monsters in the imperial capital a fright.

"Holy crap, who's got the guts to go to the Misty Cloud Sect's gates and call them old bastards?"

It was as though the entire Jia Ma Imperial Capital had been jolted awake.

Nalan Jie, who had just chased his son up Misty Cloud Mountain, abruptly looked up. His gaze sharpened, and he immediately formed a pair of wings on his back and flew toward the Misty Cloud Sect.

At the same time, the experts in the imperial capital all began flying toward the Misty Cloud Sect.

"How many years has it been? Ever since Ice Emperor Hai Bodong fought Yun Shan, no one has dared to come to the Misty Cloud Sect and shout challenges, have they?"

Jia Xingtian looked toward the Misty Cloud Sect with great interest, as did Fa Ma beside him.

"Hehe, judging by these presences, they don't seem to be from the Jia Ma Empire. I imagine they're experts from beyond the empire."

The two quickly reached the outskirts of the Misty Cloud Sect, along with the rest of the Jia Ma Empire's top ten experts.

Gu He, Teng Shan, Nalan Jie, and the others arrived one after another.

As soon as they arrived, they saw three figures appear in the sky above the Misty Cloud Sect.

Sun Qi had changed into a suit of gleaming golden armor, with a purple crown on his head, and stood in the sky above the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Junior brother, are you coming down with me, or are you staying on this Somersault Cloud?"

Looking at the Misty Cloud Sect experts who had already appeared below, Xiao Yan thought for a second before answering without hesitation, "I'm coming with you, senior brother!"

Are you kidding? This is a chance to do the same thing as the Great Sage!

Seeing the determined expression on Xiao Yan's face, Sun Qi looked somewhat gratified.

Yao Chen's Storage Ring was now with Sun Qi. Xiao Yan's cultivation was too low for him to withstand Yao Chen's soul power.

So Sun Qi had to do it instead.

The three figures landed in the Misty Cloud Sect's plaza.

"May I ask where you come from, sir, and why you've come to our Misty Cloud Sect to shout challenges?"

The voice came from the main hall behind the sect gates. Four figures dressed in matching robes emerged from the hall.

"Four Dou Wang experts! It seems the Misty Cloud Sect has only grown stronger over the years!"

Seeing the strength the Misty Cloud Sect had revealed, Jia Xingtian immediately felt a surge of apprehension.

"If you don't explain yourself today, sir, you'll have a hard time leaving Misty Cloud Mountain, even with two Dou Wangs among you!" the elder in the lead said.

Just then, Nalan Yanran, who had been cultivating, was also alerted by the commotion outside and hurried out to investigate.

One look, and she immediately spotted an all-too-familiar figure.

A clear, lovely voice rang out beside the elders. "Xiao Yan!"

Everyone watching was dumbfounded.

When did Xiao Yan become a Dou Wang? Wasn't he rumored to be a good-for-nothing?

The old monsters of the Jia Ma Empire had never met Xiao Yan, and with their attention drawn to Sun Qi, they instinctively assumed he was Xiao Yan.

Then Xiao Yan stepped forward beside him.

"Nalan Yanran, it seems the grudge between us will have to be settled ahead of time."

Only when Xiao Yan spoke did everyone realize they had overlooked the young man beside the two Dou Wangs.

"Thank goodness. For a moment there, I thought someone had really cultivated to Dou Wang at that age."

As Jia Xingtian muttered, Fa Ma said beside him, "But that Dou Wang expert next to Xiao Yan doesn't look very old either."

Before this, they had only paid attention to Sun Qi's cultivation. Only when Fa Ma spoke did they notice.

The two Dou Wang experts who had come to the Misty Cloud Sect were just a young man and a little girl!
