Chapter 202: Why Don’t You Come Out?!
Boom!
The next second, a ferocious attack landed on Yun Shan's back, and the force contained within it erupted.
Yun Shan's figure shot forward, and under the gaze of many eyes, he spewed a mouthful of blood.
His body plummeted straight down, and only when he was just a dozen meters from the ground did Yun Shan finally stabilize himself.
His ferocious face, combined with the glaring bloodstain at the corner of his mouth, looked even more terrifying.
"How could this happen? Who attacked him? Who could make the Old Sect Master, a Dou Ancestor, vomit blood?"
Young Master Lin sprang up from his chair, unable to sit still.
Old Sect Master is the pillar of Misty Cloud Sect, a presence akin to an unmovable mountain.
He must not be harmed!
If the Old Sect Master falls, what will Misty Cloud Sect use to face these enemies?
"Is that... a Soul?"
Young Master Lin's gaze shifted upward, looking towards the figure floating beside Xiao Yan, a translucent figure that entered his eyes filled with astonishment.
Who is this mysterious powerhouse?
The people of Misty Cloud Sect were all stunned.
Yun Shan's figure rose again until he was level with Xiao Yan and the others. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Years ago, I vaguely felt that Xiao Yan's strength was somewhat unusual. I suppose it was you meddling in the dark back then?"
"That's right!"
Old Yao's eyes were disdainful, a faint smile on his lips. "As a student of the Medicine Sovereign, how could I allow you, a mere Dou Ancestor, to insult and bully him as you please?"
If it were years ago, with just a word from me, your Misty Cloud Sect would have been expelled from the continent!"
As these words fell, even the people from the Black-Corner Region or the Jia Ma Empire, including those who had met Old Yao before, were stirred by his words.
On the continent, those who could refer to themselves as Sovereign were generally only powerful Dou Venerate experts.
No wonder Xiao Yan, at such a young age, possessed the strength of a Dou King pinnacle and was also a Sixth Grade Alchemist.
So, he had a Dou Venerate teacher guiding him from behind.
Envious glances filled with admiration swept over Xiao Yan. At this moment, many hearts were filled with a tinge of jealousy.
It must be noted that in the Jia Ma Empire, Dou Ancestors were already extremely rare experts.
As for Dou Venerates, that term was even more rare and could only be found in historical records.
Yet this young man from Wu Tan City on the empire's border unexpectedly had a Dou Venerate as his mentor.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!! If only I had known earlier, I should have had my father move our family to Wu Tan City. It's just over a day's journey from Te Lan City."
Young Master Lin pounded his chest and stomped his feet, extremely agitated.
"Calm down. Have you ever considered that a Dou Venerate taking on disciples might also consider their conditions? You couldn't even get into Jia Nan Academy. Even if you were to encounter one, you might not have the chance," Lin Xiu tried to console him, hoping he wouldn't make too much noise and attract attention from others.
"The way you console people, Lin Xiu, must be rare..."
The young man covered his face with his hands, feeling like crying without tears.
"Just keep it down."
Lin Xiu glanced at him, satisfied that his purpose was achieved, and ignored him thereafter.
The drama in the sky was about to enter its exciting moment.
Even Yun Shan, upon learning Yao Chen's true identity, had his pupils slightly constrict with a hint of shock.
However, he quickly adjusted himself.
The opponent was indeed a Dou Venerate.
But the past was the past, and the present was the present.
Right now, you're just a Soul body. Compared to your former self, how much strength can you really exert?
Taking a deep breath, Yun Shan smirked coldly, "Old man, just a Soul body, and you think highly of yourself? Today, I'll send both you and your disciple on your way."
"Just you?" Old Yao's hand flickered with white flames.
"Hehe, I don't have the patience to play with you. But someone has been looking for you for a long time," Yun Shan grinned triumphantly, clapping his hands crisply. "Protector Wu, you guessed right. This person is now yours."
His voice echoed.
Below in the Misty Cloud Sect's main hall, a large amount of black mist suddenly billowed up, covering the sky and earth.
"Another Dou Ancestor?!"
"Xiao Li, what's going on? How did you investigate this?"
"Damn it! Do you guys not value my life?!"
The three from the Wild Lion Gang and Luo Sha Gate, sensing the aura emanating from the black mist, suddenly turned pale.
Originally, they had already dealt with several Misty Cloud Sect elders and gained the upper hand.
Victory was within their grasp.
But now, Misty Cloud Sect unexpectedly harbored another Dou Ancestor.
If they had known this before coming, they would never have participated.
A Mighty Huang Pill is certainly good, capable of aiding breakthroughs in cultivation.
However, the prerequisite for this is to have a life to enjoy it!
The aura emanating from this newly appeared Dou Ancestor is even stronger than Yun Shan's.
What can they use to contend with this?
Other strong figures from the Black-Corner Region also looked grim.
As for Jia Xing Tian, Fa Ma, and others, their faces darkened noticeably, becoming extremely unsightly.
Since setting foot in Misty Cloud Sect, they had made their choice: if they couldn't annihilate Misty Cloud Sect today, then the Jia Ma Royal Family and the Alchemist Guild would cease to exist.
Moreover, from today onward, the name of Jia Ma Empire might have to undergo a change.
The two old men glanced at each other, seeing bitterness in each other's eyes.
"Damn it, what's going on? Where did Yun Shan find this guy?!"
Faced with the scolding from Tie Wu and Su Mei, Xiao Li didn't even have the courage to argue back.
Initially, he had seen the victory tilting in their favor, and a smile had crept onto his face.
But at this moment, that smile, which should have been radiant, completely disappeared. All that remained was a gradually fading sense of emptiness and loss.
"Everyone, don't panic. The current situation, both I and Xiao Yan have long anticipated. Everything is still within our plan. I will go and hold off that guy. You all help Xiao Yan resolve Yun Shan as quickly as possible. We still have a chance to fight back," spoke Old Yao with a steady voice, resonating in everyone's ears as if imbued with a certain kind of magic. The initially nervous and anxious crowd gradually calmed down.
As their minds settled, each person's face showed determination and seriousness!
Whether they were from the Black-Corner Region or from the Jia Ma Empire, everyone understood that with things having developed to this point, there was no turning back once they had drawn their bows.
With all their might, there was still a glimmer of hope!
Otherwise, if Xiao Yan were to lose, they would have no way to withstand the attacks of two Dou Ancestors.
In cultivation of Dou Qi, the higher the realm, the smaller the advantage brought by numbers!
After a brief pause, the battle resumed even more intensely.
Yun Shan commanded the elders and disciples to activate Misty Cloud Sect's Covering Sun Cloud Formation.
He then charged towards Xiao Yan.
The battle between Dou Ancestors was grand and mighty, with overwhelming energy. Even the slightest residual impact could inflict severe injuries.
Xiao Li held a long spear, only able to watch from a distance without any chance to join.
"Where is he? Where's Lin Xiu? Why hasn't he appeared yet? What is he planning? Come out quickly!" Xiao Li was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Having witnessed Lin Xiu's battle with Han Feng, he knew that once Lin Xiu joined and teamed up with his younger brother, even Yun Shan wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
Time was of the essence now, every minute and second were precious!
At this moment.
Lin Xiu, who Xiao Li was continuously urging, sat quietly at a inconspicuous table corner.
