"Master!"

At the critical moment, Yun Yun arrived.

Even she had never imagined that her master, Yun Shan, would become so deranged after his transformation!

That was right, a transformation. A breakthrough would not cause such a drastic change in temperament.

So after thinking it over for a long time, Yun Yun had decided to step in and stop him.

Although she had been removed from her position as Misty Cloud Sect Master, Yun Yun was still one of the sect's strongest members, and her authority and influence had scarcely diminished.

It was only when Yun Shan was present that her words carried no weight.

Yun Yun fobbed them off with a few words and brought Nalan Yanran out.

If she came alone, the other factions might think the Misty Cloud Sect was putting on an act, intending to sweep everyone into its net and swallow both the black and the white.

So Yun Yun brought her disciple along as proof.

"Master, your disciple Yun Yun earnestly begs you to reconsider your order."

Yun Yun's face was full of sincerity, and she meant every word.

Maintaining the Misty Cloud Sect's current foundation was enough for it to develop. Besides, what the sect needed to grow was not vast territory, but the careful instruction of its disciples.

In Yun Yun's view, Yun Shan had clearly taken a wrong turn.

"Xiao Yun, it seems you still haven't clearly recognized your mistake during this time. Go back and continue reflecting on it!"

His tone did not waver in the slightest, but Yun Shan was already furious to the extreme.

His disciple was strong, but she could not lead the sect well.

Didn't the sect need more resources to develop?!

The Misty Cloud Sect had been in decline before, for its line of Dou Zong experts had long been broken. But now that Yun Shan had broken through, things were naturally different.

Even when the Misty Cloud Sect was first founded, although its founding ancestor had not ruled the surrounding empires, he had still stood high above the clouds.

And what about when the Misty Cloud Sect declined afterward?! Yun Shan did not even want to recall that humiliating history.

Give way once, and you would have to give way at every step.

Yun Yun was far too indecisive.

"Grandmaster, Yanran also begs you to stop and restore peace to our Jia Ma Empire!" Nalan Yanran knew that Yun Shan had a very poor impression of her, but her family's survival was at stake.

She had no choice but to step forward.

"Every last one of you. Very good!"

The Dou Qi gathering around him was already on the verge of erupting.

It was time for the Jia Ma Empire to change its blood!

"Little fellow, don't be so hot-tempered. You're going about this the wrong way. Who relies on threats alone without offering any inducements?"

"Anyone who didn't know better might think we were after their resources."

A figure with an immortal bearing and an otherworldly air appeared in an utterly detached manner, his face covered by a layer of white mist.

In nine steps, he went from a tiny speck on the distant horizon to standing before everyone, his voice seeming to resound through their very souls.

Powerful!

Incredibly powerful!

Could he be a Dou Zun, or even a legendary existence of a higher level? The experts of the Jia Ma Empire did not dare think any further.

"Senior, please instruct us!"

Yun Shan's pupils contracted. He did not know who the newcomer was, but he was definitely an expert connected to Senior Xiao Xuan, so showing respect could not possibly be wrong.

"Mm!"

"Everyone, take these first." The newcomer was none other than Mo Xuan. Bored out of his mind, he had naturally wandered around, so Yun Shan's grand undertaking had naturally not escaped his notice.

So he had come over to join in the excitement.

Besides, Mo Xuan also wanted to earn a little favor with Xiao Xuan!

Pills deserved human rights too.

They were all living beings of heaven and earth, so what was the point of ranking them above or below one another?

Unfortunately, with Xiao Xuan's agreement as a prerequisite, Mo Xuan felt he still had to keep pressing forward to achieve that goal.

As Mo Xuan's words fell, two or three pills landed in the hands of every expert present.

They were all fifth- or sixth-tier pills? Among them were plenty of precious pills such as Dou Ling Pills and Emperor's Extreme Pills.

He was so generous!

And it really did not look as though there was any room to resist. Rather than be eliminated, they might as well accept the benefits and continue living.

Even Old Man Jia Ma, who had held the firmest stance, now had a strong look of wavering in his eyes.

He was under the greatest pressure, with an entire empire on his shoulders!

If he submitted now, then from that point on, every resource of the empire would truly be beyond the Imperial Family's reach.

But if he refused, the Imperial Family would truly have nothing more to do with the world.

"Since Senior has shown us such favor, my Jia Ma Imperial Family is willing to submit!"

A bitter expression on his face, Old Man Jia Ma finally felt a wave of relief.

If he had still entertained thoughts of opposing Yun Shan, whose presence was as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea, then when the mysterious man appeared, Old Man Jia Ma had even felt the urge to kneel and submit.

He was definitely not someone mere Dou Emperors or Dou Zong could fathom in the slightest.

Doing whatever he said was the wise course.

"Senior, we agree as well."

With the Imperial Family having agreed, the remaining Jia Ma experts had even less to say. After all, none of them could match the Imperial Family in either strength or influence.

Without the Imperial Family taking the lead, the outcome naturally became even more one-sided.

"Good. From now on, you'll be under Yun Shan's command as well. Do your jobs properly, and you won't be treated poorly in the future."

Mo Xuan clasped his hands behind his back, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being a senior expert.

Back in the small world, he had truly been bored enough for a bird to grow out of him.

Otherwise, how could Mo Xuan, a Ninth-Tier Xuan Pill that had gained sentience, have been bored enough to study the art of pill refinement?

And he really had gained some insight into it.

In the art of pill refinement, one should above all draw on the strengths of many.

Although an individual pill refiner could reach great heights, insights from other paths could also be applied by analogy.

In the end, all great Daos led to the same place.

With his hands behind his back, he was lonely as snow, aloof as a mountain peak!

Mo Xuan displayed his peerless bearing.

"Handle the terms of submission yourselves. There's no need to change the situation in Jia Ma from now on; you each only need to know where you stand. Although you've become an affiliated force, that doesn't mean you're being asked to betray your ancestors."

"Just do your jobs properly!"

After striking a pose, Mo Xuan gave a light wave of his hand, tore open a Space Wormhole, and drifted away.

The bearing of a true expert!

The Jia Ma people left behind were all utterly astonished.

After a long silence, those present finally managed to stir.

"Sect Master, we're all one family from now on. I hope you'll lend us your support."

No one who had cultivated to Dou Wang was a fool, so they all began trying to establish connections. Even Old Man Jia Ma, who had been at odds with Yun Shan before, now walked over with a smile.

Before, it had been for the empire's interests, and it was still for the empire's interests now.

"Good, good, good. Everyone, go back and digest what happened first. Quite a lot has happened today. We'll discuss matters tomorrow."

"It's time for the Jia Ma Empire to be twisted into one rope."

Yun Shan was immensely pleased, but he also knew this was not the best time to discuss the various arrangements. He needed to let the senior's influence fade a little first.

"Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, come with me!"

Finally, seeing the master and disciple looking utterly bewildered and at a loss, Yun Shan swept his sleeve and took them both back to Misty Cloud Mountain.

"Everyone, I'll take my leave first. We'll continue tomorrow."

Afraid they might forget, Yun Shan reminded them once more.

On the way back, they walked through the air.

"Have you decided how to resolve the Three-Year Agreement?"
