There were quite a few Dou Kings from the Jia Ma Empire present to observe the battle. Even Mu of the Mu d Nan Jie had a glint fsh in their eyes at this moment.

  One must know that back then, Lion King Yan Shi and Walking Wind Feng Li, two of the Jia Ma Empire's 'Ten Strong', had risked their lives to escu He in his forceful entry into the Snake-People Tribe to meet Queen Medusa. All this for just one Dou King Pill promised by the tter.

  At that time, even Hai Bodong with his 5-star Dou Emperor strength had almost died at the hands of Queen Medusa. Therefore, even with Yun Yun apanying them, mere Dou Kings would only be on fodder if anythi wrong.

  Yet, despite such immense risks, Yan Shi and Feng Li ultimately agreed to Gu He's request. One could imagihe allure of a Dou King Pill.

  Yun Leng gritted his teeth as he looked at the pills in Xiao Yan's hand. He shouted in a deep voice to the Dou Kings whose hearts had been moved, "Today, our Misty Cloud Sect is handli affairs. Anyone who dares to interfere will be repaid tenfold by our Misty Cloud Se the future!"

  Yun Leng's furious voistantly echoed across the entire square, causing many of the spectating Dou Kings to pause. They all shook their heads, not daring to step forward to help.

  However, Xiao Yan remained sitting on the panquin as steady as Mount Tai. He smiled faintly and said, "Yun Leng, if you think you scare everyone off like this, you're uimating the allure of medial pills."

  Just then, three figures with Dou Qi wings suddenly shot over from the distahe three of them simultaneously unched a Dou Qi palm strike at Yun Leng's trio of Dou Kings, breaking their bined Dou Teique from the outside.

  All three of these individuals, without exception, had their faces masked and wore loose cloaks. Moreover, they were all Dou Kings whose strength was not much weaker than Yun Leng's group.

  Although these three had their faces covered and wore loose cloaks, Xiao Yan, with his powerful Spiritual Strength, had long noticed that Mu , Fa Ma, and Miteer Tengshan had quietly left the Misty Cloud Seot long after he took out the Dou King Pills. No one knew where they went.

  There was no doubt that these three masked individuals were Mu , Fa Ma, and Miteer Tengshan.

  The reason Xiao Yan could remain so calm was naturally because he uood human nature.

  The Misty Cloud Sect was the tyrant and overlord of the Jia Ma Empire, aehat acted domineeringly throughout the nd. No one dared to offend them. Not to mentiohree major s, even the Jia Ma Imperial Family and the Alchemist Association were somewhat strained and even oppressed by them.

  Xiao Yan was acutely aware of this, which was why he brought out the Dou King Pills. This was not just about hiring Dou Kings with pills; it also gave some people an excuse to rebel.

  Every uprising needed a reason.

  Perhaps, aside from the madman Mu who sincerely and purely wahat Dou King Pill, the others like Miteer Tengshan and Fa Ma were likely using this excuse to join forces against the Misty Cloud Sect or to curry favor with Xiao Yan.

  An individual might not dare to challehe Misty Cloud Sect, but if several people teamed up, it was like crossing the street together; they wouldn't fear the Misty Cloud Sect's retaliation afterward.

  Even the Misty Cloud Sect would not dare to openly challenge all the cultivators in the Jia Ma Empire.

  And if Xiao Yan could truly challehe Misty Cloud Sect's authority this time, then as long as he was around, the Misty Cloud Sect's arrogance wouldn't be as rampant as before, and other fas wouldn't fear them as much.

  This was of great signifiany s, majanizations, and even the Jia Ma Imperial Family. If they couldn't destroy the Misty Cloud Sect, they had to at least diminish their arrogance!

  "Fa Ma! Don't think I won't reize you just because you're wearing a mask. Aren't you afraid your Alchemist Association will cease to exist? Don't fet, the stro alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire is Gu He, not you!" Yun Leng shouted in fury while fending off Fa Ma's attacks.

  He never imagihat someone would actually attack their Misty Cloud Sect for the sake of a Dou King Pill!

  "Yun Leng, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Fa Ma. People die for wealth just as birds die for food. Since Grandmaster Xiao Yan is willing to offer Dou King Pills, this one has no choice but to assist him." Fa Ma deliberately lowered his voice, even using a pill that could alter his voice. In any case, he would never admit it even if he was beaten to death.

  "Moreover, the most skilled in alchemy isn't necessarily Gu He. At least in the realm of tier 5, Gu He 't refine such perfect Dou King Pills."

  "Damn it, Fa Ma!" Yun Leng was about to lose his mind; a mere eighteen-year-old youth had reduced him to such a sorry state!

  At this moment, Nan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan with a strange expression. The words this guy said sometimes sounded very absurd and unreliable, but in the end, the results always turned out just as he said.

  Sitting on the panquin, Xiao Yan shivered slightly. He took out a bottle of strong liquor and a wine cup from his ste ring, poured himself a drink, and, as if admiring flowers uhe moonlight, watched the great battle unfold while sipping his wine!

  He pletely treated First Elder Yun Leng as a perf , warming himself up in the process.

  With the trio of Fa Ma holding back Yun Leng's three Dou King Elders, and Hai Bodoing the bitaation of the Misty Cloud Sect disciples, as well as those Dou Spirit deas and a few low-star Dou Kings, Xiao Yan truly did just sit there, unmoving.

  After drinking two cups of wine, Xiao Yan's cheeks carried a slight flush. His voice was a bit tipsy as he said, "First Elder Yun Leng, it seems that you and the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect are quite busy. I'm afraid you don't have time to eai looks like I'll have to pay a visit another day."

  "What a pity—not being able to appreciate the beautiful sery of the Misty Cloud Sect. It's truly a great regret."

  He shook his head slightly, his expression as if he genuinely felt it ity.

  Xiao Yan's pretentious manner and that infuriating tone made even Hai Bodong feel he couldn't stand it. Would it kill you to say a feords? Why do you have to provoke this old fellow Yun Leng so much?

  Have some respect for your elders!

  "Damn it!" Yun Leng cursed under his breath, hurriedly retreating. As his hands waved, thick stone walls tinuously appeared in front of him, blog Fa Ma's attacks.

  Taking advantage of this gap, he shouted loudly, "Yun Yun! Don't fet your identity as the Sect Leader! Now someone is causing a huge disturban the Misty Cloud Sect, and you io stand by and wattil when?!"

  At this moment, everyone's gazes fell on the beautiful Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, who had been a mere spectator all this time.

  Just as Hai Bodong had said, if the Dou Emperor Yun Yun made a move, the euation would ge.

  But to everyone's surprise, Yun Yun looked at Yun Leng with a calm expression and slowly said, "First Elder, so you still remember that I am the Sect Leader?"

  Quite a few people present were stunned by these words. It was just as Yun Yun said. If one didn't know better, one would think this Yun Leng was the Sect Leader, as he had been making decisions on his own from beginning to end without sulting Yun Yun.

  However, those familiar with the Misty Cloud Sect didn't find anything unusual about this. To put it bluntly, the reason Yun Yun could bee the Sect Leader wasn't because she had high prestige in the Misty Cloud Sect, but because she was a Dou Emperor.

  Within the Misty Cloud Sect, the one who truly held power was Yun Leng. All the elders of the eion took orders from him, not Yun Yun.

  Many people had hardly even seen Yun Yun a few times. All matters big and small within the sect were managed by Yun Leng. Yun Yu most of her time cultivating, serving merely as a nominal Sect Leader.

  Yun Yuly patted Nan Yanran on the shoulder and said, "Yanran, this matter started because of you. Go and escrandmaster Xiao Yan down from the Misty Cloud Sect."
