Jia Xingtian, who was involved, also cupped his hands toward Yun Shan. He had certainly never heard of this matter, but that didn't stop him from helping Xiao Yan: "I did indeed inquire about this matter. That Mo Cheng violated the laws of the Empire. Even if Sect Leader Yun hadn't acted, I would have had to kill him myself!"
Between the two of them acting in concert, Mo Cheng's death sentence was finalized.
"The boy is not old, but his tongue is quite sharp." Yun Shan glanced at Xiao Yan, then looked at Jia Xingtian, "Old Man Jia, today's matter is an action by my Cloud Mist Sect for a Sect deacon. As for how exactly that Mo Cheng violated the laws of the Empire, someone from the Sect will follow up with the Emperor later."
Yun Shan lightly brushed this page aside and then put his hands behind his back: "Yun Ling, take down that Xiao Yan!"
Yun Ling, who had been waiting for a long time, was already impatient: "Yes, Old Sect Leader!"
After speaking, Yun Ling pounced straight toward Xiao Yan.
"Be careful!" Nalan Yanran subconsciously cried out in alarm.
"You back off first!" Xiao Yan swallowed a fifth-grade pill to recover his Dou Qi, then unfolded his wings and leaped up to engage in aerial combat with Yun Ling. At this moment, he could no longer help Chen Yang attract attention and could only hope that Old Hai and the others could stall for a bit longer.
Nalan Yanran watched Xiao Yan and Yun Ling chasing each other in the air, her teeth lightly biting her lip, her small Face full of worry.
"Chen Yang, surrender... Huh???" Yun Shan finally turned his gaze toward Chen Yang, but he quickly sensed something was wrong.
"Damn it, it's actually an illusion!" After careful observation, Yun Shan was furious and hurriedly turned to head toward the direction where Yun Yun was imprisoned.
"Yun Shan, don't even think about leaving!" At this moment, Hai Bodong roared, his icy wings vibrated, and his whole body instantly pierced through the Void Realm, chasing after Yun Shan.
"Hai Bodong, even if you are at the Peak Dou Huang level, you are still no match for me!" Yun Shan snorted coldly and waved his sleeve, blocking Hai Bodong behind him.
"Roar... and this King!" At this moment, a lion's roar suddenly rang out as the Amethyst Winged Lion King restored its sun-blotting original form and appeared beside Hai Bodong.
"A Rank 6 top-tier Amethyst Winged Lion King?" Yun Shan frowned and became serious.
He was a Dou Zong who had been forcibly elevated by the Hall of Souls. Although his strength had stabilized a bit during this time, he was far from being able to easily crush four Peak Dou Huang powerhouses with one person's strength like Chen Yang.
Moreover, the combat power of a Rank 6 top-tier Demonic Beast was originally a notch stronger than a Peak Dou Huang of the same rank, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King was an outstanding one among them.
"Attack together!" Hai Bodong shouted.
"Roar!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King didn't waste words, and its Purple Flame surged, instantly blocking Yun Shan's path.
"Hmph, overestimating yourselves!"
"Great Wind Hand Seal!"
Yun Shan's hands quickly formed Seals, and then his right hand swung out an energy hand Seal even larger than the Amethyst Winged Lion King, instantly grabbing the sky full of Purple Flame.
"Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar!"
Hai Bodong followed closely behind, nine ice dragons dozens of feet long rose from behind him and then pounced toward Yun Shan.
"Di-rank Dou Technique!!!"
"Heh... Hai Bodong, do not look down on the foundation of my Cloud Mist Sect!"
"Wind Splitting Annihilation!" (If one must choose a Dou Technique for Yun Shan, this one should be Earth Rank!)
Yun Shan's hand-sealing speed accelerated again, and a green giant sword gradually rose above his head. The giant sword grew larger and larger, then began to rotate frantically.
"Go!"
Yun Shan's hand Seal changed, and the giant sword pounced straight at the ice dragons, crushing them all in the blink of an eye, and then pounced straight toward Hai Bodong.
"Myriad Flower Ice Mirror!" Hai Bodong hurriedly raised a defensive Dou Technique, but the brilliant layers of ice shields, like a kaleidoscope, were crushed by Yun Shan's sword.
"Old Man Hai!" Seeing that Hai Bodong was about to be injured by Yun Shan's sword, the Amethyst Winged Lion King finally broke through the Great Wind Hand Seal, and then a purple light beam flew out from the sharp horn on its head, heading straight for Yun Shan.
"Sealing technique!!!" Yun Shan gritted his teeth. This Amethyst Winged Lion King's sealing technique was incredibly strange; even with his current strength, it would be very uncomfortable to be hit.
Helplessly, Yun Shan could only give up on Hai Bodong and instead step aside to dodge the purple light beam, then pulled out a green longsword from his storage ring.
"It seems that without dealing with the two of you, this old man won't be able to leave!" Yun Shan pointed his sword at the two of them.
"Yun Shan, you should be clear that given the relationship between my Young Lord and Yun Yun, there should be no such rift between us, let alone becoming enemies."
"If you stop now, it's still not too late!"
Hai Bodong also condensed a large ice spear and looked at Yun Shan, speaking in a deep voice.
"Stop... Heh..." A trace of loneliness flashed in Yun Shan's voice, and his eyes turned resolute, "It's already too late."
"Hai Bodong, we've been friends for many years. I advise you to leave Yun Lan Mountain!"
Yun Shan also didn't want to fight Hai Bodong. After this old fellow reached Peak Dou Huang and gained a Di-rank Dou Technique, his combat power was far beyond his imagination.
"We each serve our own masters. If you don't stop, how can I talk about retreating?" Hai Bodong heard the sense of helplessness in Yun Shan's words and stated it directly.
"Masters?" Yun Shan smiled freely, "That word is very appropriate!"
After saying that, Yun Shan vanished from the spot in a flash and appeared above Hai Bodong the next second. A fierce Sword Qi condensed on the green longsword in his hand:
"Wind's Extreme: Meteor Murder!"
The Sword Qi condensed without dissipating. Compared to when Yun Yun used it, Yun Shan's move targeted only Hai Bodong, making its power even more formidable.
"Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar!"
Hai Bodong had long been waiting for Yun Shan to come. A more solid ice dragon appeared above his head. The extreme cold caused the surrounding space to suddenly stagnate. The scattered ice crystals and cold air made the soles of Yun Shan's feet, who was close at hand, feel a chill.
"Intermediate Earth Rank!" Yun Shan gritted his teeth, but his attack didn't stop for a moment.
"Boom!" The green Sword Qi and the blue ice dragon collided, and a huge shockwave exploded above Yun Lan Mountain. Two figures flew out from the center of the explosion.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King didn't have time to check on Hai Bodong. It aimed at Yun Shan, and the Amethyst Seal condensed once more, heading toward the injured Yun Shan.
Just as the purple light beam that pierced the sky was about to land on Yun Shan, a black mist suddenly emerged from behind him.
Then, the black mist filling the sky directly swallowed the Amethyst Winged Lion King's sealing technique and stabilized Yun Shan's figure.
"Has the person behind Yun Shan finally made a move?" Hai Bodong swallowed two sixth-grade pills to recover his Dou Qi and injuries and flew to the side of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"Jie jie jie..."
"Yun Shan, you are truly useless, unable to even deal with two Dou Huangs!"
Protector Wu's voice, like a crow's cry, resounded across the peak of Yun Lan Mountain, his words full of mockery toward Yun Shan.
"Protector Wu!" Yun Shan gritted his teeth. Being so publicly humiliated, he was naturally displeased. After all, he, Yun Shan, was a powerhouse of a generation in the Jia Ma Empire and was also a man who valued Face.
"Fine, you go and draw out that Chen Yang. I'll deal with these two!" After Protector Wu finished speaking, the pitch-black chains in his hand pounced straight toward Hai Bodong and the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Hai Bodong and the Amethyst Winged Lion King felt as if they were being stared at by a poisonous snake and hurriedly scattered to escape.
However, the chains split into two in the air, closely following behind them at high speed.
"Act!" Seeing this, Jia Xingtian spoke to Fa Ma beside him after hesitating for a moment.
"Alright!" Fa Ma nodded, his Dou Qi Wings unfolded, and he was about to act together with Jia Xingtian.
However, just as the two chains were about to catch up with Hai Bodong and the Amethyst Winged Lion King, two crimson Sword Qis pierced through the Void Realm from afar, instantly severing Protector Wu's pitch-black chains.
Then, a cold young voice rang in Protector Wu's ear: "The trash of the Hall of Souls is getting worse as they get older, relying on their Dou Zong cultivation to bully my two Dou Huang friends. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at when this gets back to the Central Plains..."
Hearing this, Hai Bodong and the others immediately showed looks of joy and all looked toward the direction of the voice.
Protector Wu and Yun Shan also looked toward the newcomer and saw a handsome young man in the sea of clouds, holding a crimson-bladed longsword in his right hand and holding the slender waist of a stunning woman in a green dress with his left arm, stepping through the air...
