Chapter 306: Shameless Yun Shan, the Yun Lan Sect in Shock
Ya Fei had felt a faint trace of grievance in her heart, but the moment Wu Tian said, "You've worked hard," all of it vanished like smoke in the wind.
Her delicate face bloomed into a dazzling smile, enchanting and mesmerizing, stirring the hearts of those who beheld it.
At that moment, Medusa stood beside Wu Tian, her sharp, narrow eyes observing this familiar woman. Their temperaments were somewhat similar, but compared to her, Ya Fei lacked that overpowering dominance and icy allure. As the esteemed Queen Medusa, she naturally did not consider Ya Fei as a "sister."
In her eyes, this woman was too calculating, too ambitious at best, she could serve as one of her husband's subordinates.
At most, if she performed well in the future, she might be rewarded a few times.
Of course, these rewards would be treasures like the Fire Spirit Essence, Body Refining Milk, and other rare resources…
To Medusa, Ya Fei was on the same level as Yue Mei and Hua She Er merely subordinates.
And when the maids weren't around, they would simply have to fulfill their duties as… well…
Ya Fei's joy was evident. She quickly stepped aside and introduced the people behind her to Wu Tian.
"This is Princess Yao Ye of the Jia Ma Empire, the head of the Mu Clan, Mu Chen, and the president of the Alchemist Association, Master Fa Ma. We owe them a great debt of gratitude. Without their help, we wouldn't have been able to hold off the Yun Lan Sect for so long."
Ya Fei's soft, melodic voice was soothing to hear, making Wu Tian feel extremely comfortable.
Upon hearing her introduction, Yao Ye's beautiful face immediately brightened with a charming smile. A gentle, velvety voice slipped from her red lips.
"Guardian Elder, my great grandfather often spoke of your strength and unparalleled handsomeness. At first, I thought he was exaggerating…"
"But now I see, my great grandfather was far too modest in his praise!"
Hearing such flattering words, Wu Tian's face remained calm, but a faint smile lingered.
As for the people of the Jia Ma Empire, he naturally chose to interact with them in a peaceful manner.
After all, they shared a common enemy the Yun Lan Sect and the terrifying Soul Hall behind them.
Of course, they had yet to grasp just how horrifying the Soul Hall truly was.
If they knew… Wu Tian couldn't even imagine the despair and terror that would appear on their faces.
With formalities exchanged, the Jia Ma Empire's situation gradually stabilized…
Wu Tian ordered the three Serpent Clan Elders and the eight commanders to return and fortify their defenses. He had to be extremely cautious of Yun Shan.
If Yun Shan decided to launch an attack on the Tagor Desert, the Serpent Clan's only remaining guardian would be the Two Headed Fire Spirit Serpent.
His gaze drifted toward the distant, hazy mountains beyond the imperial city.
"Is she waiting for me there?"
In the faraway Yun Lan Mountain, inside a pitch black grand hall, a woman in a white robe suddenly opened her eyes.
Her dark pupils were filled with shock and disbelief.
"This…"
"…How is this possible?"
"Could it really be him?"
A joyful curve appeared on her red lips.
Yun Yun rose to her feet and gazed toward that distant place that occupied her thoughts day and night.
A phantom figure surfaced in her mind…
Elsewhere, in a chamber within the Yun Lan Sect, a pair of eyes gleamed with a sinister light.
"This aura… It really is him… So my preparations weren't in vain!"
Yun Shan abruptly stood up, his voice filled with disbelief and shock.
But before he could continue, a sinister laugh echoed in the hall.
"Jie jie jie~~ Yun Shan, you really are shameless."
The moment he heard that voice, Yun Shan's knees buckled.
His legs trembled, and he collapsed onto the floor.
Inside the Yun Lan Sect's grand hall, chaos reigned.
The air was filled with panicked shouting and fearful murmurs, voices overlapping in a disordered mess.
It was deafening, overwhelming, making it hard to think.
"Elder Yun He, ten Dou Huang level experts were completely wiped out! What should we do now?"
"Why are you asking me?! Who am I supposed to ask?!"
"That's not the worst part! The Grand Elder didn't return either and he was a Dou Zong!"
"Are you stupid? Didn't you sense that other presence just now?"
"You're right… That aura was terrifying it completely suppressed Jia Xing Tian's!"
"And that means…"
"That means he was instantly killed, just like Grand Elder Yun Leng!"
"Ah?! Even a Dou Zong was instantly killed?! Then doesn't that mean the Yun Lan Sect is doomed?!"
"Sigh…"
"Who would've thought… that the sacred sect of the Jia Ma Empire would now become its greatest enemy? What should we do?"
"Maybe we should… convince Sect Master Yun Shan to surrender?"
"Would that really be a good idea?"
"Are you stupid? If we don't surrender, do we just stand here and watch the Yun Lan Sect be annihilated?!"
"Or… we could run?"
The moment the word "run" was uttered, the other elders turned to look at him as if he were an idiot.
If running was an option, they would have done it already.
None of them dared to leave the Yun Lan Sect they had all sacrificed too much for power.
And those who had opposed Yun Shan's methods had long since vanished…
A chilling silence hung in the air.
At that moment, Yun Shan suddenly appeared in the grand hall.
He swept his gaze over the chaotic scene, his expression darkening.
His deep voice echoed through the chamber.
"Silence!"
"This disorderly behavior what kind of disgraceful display is this?!"
The room instantly fell silent.
Only then did Yun Shan let out a cold snort, striding toward the head seat and sitting down.
"You are all Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs, yet you panic like frightened children. Shameful."
"Have we received any word from Grand Elder Yun Leng's group?"
At his question, an elder with a pale face hurriedly rushed into the hall.
"Bad news! Terrible news!"
The elder stumbled to a halt, then bowed respectfully, his voice trembling.
"Sect Master, Grand Elder Yun Leng and the dispatched elders' soul tokens all shattered at the same time not a single one survived!"
As soon as those words fell, the entire hall fell into deathly silence.
Even Yun Shan's face twitched uncontrollably.
Although he had already expected this outcome, he still had to pretend to be shocked to avoid raising suspicion.
But the others were genuinely horrified.
The team that had been sent to the imperial city contained half of the Yun Lan Sect's strength.
With such an overwhelming force, who could have stopped them?
This wasn't just a matter of numbers this was a force of absolute power.
A Dou Zong and ten Dou Huangs.
Who in the Jia Ma Empire could possibly resist such an army?
Yet…
Reality had slapped them all in the face.
And it hurt like hell.
"Elder Yun Cha… you must be mistaken, right?"
After a long silence, someone let out an awkward laugh.
"I wish I were… but the truth is…"
Elder Yun Cha sighed bitterly and flipped his hand, revealing a large pile of shattered jade tokens.
The moment the others saw the familiar soul tokens, their faces turned deathly pale.
"This… how is this possible?! Just from those imperial trash?!"
An elder's face twisted in anger, his voice trembling with disbelief.
