Chu Yang: The Cloud Mist Sect Is Under My Protection! All Sides Are Shocked!

On the mountaintop plaza, the Cloud Mist Sect disciples looked panicked. Even Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran wore bleak expressions.

Even someone as powerful as Yun Shan had died. Against the aggressively advancing Xiao Yan, the rest of them would undoubtedly become fish at the mercy of the butcher.

Moreover, Xiao Yan’s teacher’s soul had indirectly been captured by that mysterious person because of the Cloud Mist Sect.

Xiao Yan’s emotions were extremely unstable right now. No one knew whether, in a fit of rage, he would make the entire Cloud Mist Sect accompany him to the grave.

After a moment, Xiao Yan finally calmed down. Taking a deep breath, he looked coldly at the Cloud Mist Sect members.

As the Cloud Mist Sect Leader, Yun Yun did not want to face Xiao Yan, but she still gritted her teeth and stepped forward. "You… what exactly do you want?"

Xiao Yan laughed coldly in extreme fury. "What do I want?"

"The Cloud Mist Sect abducted my father, destroyed my Xiao Family, and now even caused my teacher to be taken by Soul Hall. What do you think I want?"

Yun Yun frowned. Ever since Yun Shan had emerged from seclusion and taken power, the Cloud Mist Sect had indeed done many wrong things over the years. She could not refute him and could only sigh.

"Xiao Yan, the Cloud Mist Sect has already been reduced to this state. Can’t you stop now?"

"Stop?" Xiao Yan’s eyes were bloodshot as he roared furiously. "As long as the Cloud Mist Sect exists in the Jia Ma Empire, I will not stop!"

"The blood debt of my Xiao Family can only be washed away with blood!"

The two remained deadlocked. In the end, with no other choice, Yun Yun drew her sword, clearly prepared to make anyone who wanted to destroy the Cloud Mist Sect step over her corpse first.

Xiao Yan was already at the end of his rope, yet he forcibly stuffed a large handful of pills into his mouth. Telling everyone else not to interfere, he fought Yun Yun alone.

At the edge of the plaza, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong looked at the ancestor of the Jia Ma Imperial Family and frowned. "Why hasn’t Yao Ye come up the mountain yet?"

Jia Xingtian muttered doubtfully, "All the Cloud Mist Sect’s experts are here. Their outer defenses must be weak. There’s no way they could stop the imperial army."

"Could something have happened?"

In the center of the plaza, Xiao Yan and Yun Yun’s battle did not produce a victor, because Nalan Yanran intervened and was easily restrained by Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, must you truly exterminate us completely?" Yun Yun’s face was somewhat pale.

Xiao Yan stared at her and demanded, "I will only ask you one thing. Who will repay the blood debt of the Xiao Family?"

Yun Yun looked desolate. "Then let me repay it!"

As she spoke, she raised her sword and slashed it toward her own neck.

But before the blade could cut her throat, Xiao Yan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the sword blade. Blood streamed down the sword and dripped onto the ground.

"Disband the Cloud Mist Sect within one month, or not even chickens and dogs will be spared!"

Xiao Yan threw the sword to the ground and turned away without looking back.

But at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

The voice was soft, yet it clearly entered the ears of everyone present.

"That won’t do!"

Everyone froze in shock, and even Xiao Yan looked stunned.

He had considered that the Cloud Mist Sect might try to resist, but he had never imagined that, at such a moment, someone would dare tell him "no"!

With his current strength and the foundation of Xiao Gate, let alone the present Cloud Mist Sect, he could act without restraint throughout the Jia Ma Empire.

Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran abruptly turned their heads. While shocked, they also became somewhat nervous.

They both recognized that voice. Hadn’t that fellow escaped down the mountain under the cover of several elders?

Why had he come back?

Wasn’t this walking straight into a trap?

Did he not understand that as long as the green hills remained, there would always be firewood to burn?

Most importantly…

Coming back was one thing, but he actually dared challenge Xiao Yan?

Everyone followed the sound and saw a figure slowly approaching along the mountain path before finally stepping onto the mountaintop plaza.

Dressed in a moon-white robe, Chu Yang looked no different from an ordinary Cloud Mist Sect disciple. If one had to point out what made him different, perhaps it was…

That he was a little more handsome than the other male disciples?

"You?" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes.

"Chu Yang, don’t mess around!" Though Yun Yun was scolding him, she kept giving Chu Yang meaningful looks, signaling for him to leave quickly.

Nalan Yanran’s eyes flickered, her beautiful gaze filled with a strange brilliance.

Not far away, Queen Medusa had been irritated by Xiao Yan and Yun Yun’s tangled relationship and was absentmindedly ruffling Zi Yan’s hair.

Chu Yang had happened to run straight into her line of fire. Queen Medusa immediately stepped forward, stared at him, and asked coldly, "You said that won’t do?"

Chu Yang slowly walked to stand in front of Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, then shrugged. "I can’t be bothered with the grudges between you, but I joined the Cloud Mist Sect as a child and have been here for ten years. I have received its inheritance and protection, after all."

"So the Cloud Mist Sect is under my protection!"

His voice was calm and unhurried, but in these circumstances, it gave off an arrogant, domineering air.

Even Yun Shan, the Cloud Mist Sect’s Dou Zong expert, had died at Xiao Yan’s hands, while the mysterious Dou Zong expert from Soul Hall had fled in defeat.

Although Xiao Yan was now at the end of his rope, Queen Medusa, a Dou Zong expert, still stood behind him!

Under such circumstances, Chu Yang actually dared claim that he would protect the Cloud Mist Sect?

If it had been an unfamiliar face, everyone might truly have been intimidated. But among the people of the Jia Ma Empire, how many did not know Chu Yang?

One of the twin stars of the Cloud Mist Sect’s younger generation, he had reached the Dou Ling realm at only sixteen.

But genius did not equal strength. No matter how great his talent was, Chu Yang was still only a Dou Ling.

Even a Dou Zong expert would not be qualified to say such words. What gave Chu Yang the right?

Yet Xiao Yan vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Staring at Chu Yang, he asked, "Heavenly Dipper and Di Sha are dead?"

Heavenly Dipper and Di Sha were the two Dou Wang experts who had pursued Chu Yang.

The two came from the Black-Corner Region. Drawn by a generous reward, they had temporarily joined Xiao Gate and followed Xiao Yan back to the Jia Ma Empire for revenge.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan’s words, Hai Bodong and the others all turned solemn.

They had not sensed any intense Dou Qi fluctuations from the foot of the mountain earlier. In other words, if Heavenly Dipper and Di Sha were dead, they had to have been instantly erased by some expert!

One had to know that Heavenly Dipper and Di Sha were both six-star Dou Wangs!

Even an ordinary low-level Dou Huang might not have been able to kill them without anyone noticing.

Jia Xingtian became even more nervous and hurried forward. "Chu Yang, what did you do to Yao Ye?"

He had now realized that the reason the imperial army had not arrived was likely because they had encountered Chu Yang while climbing the mountain and had been stopped by the mysterious expert behind him.

They might even have met with disaster already!

Chu Yang waved his hand. "Those two Dou Wangs were indeed killed by me, but I did not make things difficult for Princess Yao Ye. I merely had her lead the imperial army to rest halfway up the mountain."

At those words, the plaza erupted with sharp intakes of breath.

Two six-star Dou Wangs had actually been killed by Chu Yang?

How was that possible?!

Earlier, everyone had instinctively assumed that some mysterious expert was hidden behind Chu Yang.

After all, only two months ago, the entire Jia Ma Empire had been abuzz over Chu Yang breaking through to the Dou Ling realm.

How could a youth who had only just become a Dou Ling silently kill two six-star Dou Wangs?

"Chu Yang… you…" Yun Yun’s gaze was somewhat vacant. She could not understand why Chu Yang’s personality had suddenly changed so drastically.

Could he have undergone Body Snatching?

Before this, Chu Yang had always kept an extremely low profile, wishing he could reduce his presence to the absolute minimum.

Compared to his current arrogance, he seemed like a completely different person!

Naturally, she did not know that Chu Yang’s previous low profile—so extreme it could be called cowardly caution—was entirely because he did not want to be dragged into the conflict between Xiao Yan and the Cloud Mist Sect.

But things were different now. After sharing with his counterparts from various worlds, his strength had undergone earth-shaking changes. He no longer needed to hide and slowly develop.

"Arrogant!" Queen Medusa, already in a foul mood, snorted coldly. Her figure flashed as she charged at Chu Yang.

Since he was an enemy, what was there to say?

"Be careful!" Yun Yun’s expression changed slightly as she moved to save him.

But immediately afterward, her pupils contracted sharply.

She discovered that she could not move at all, as though her entire body had been locked down by space itself.

Facing the aggressively charging Queen Medusa, Chu Yang merely raised a hand lightly.

The space above the plaza suddenly trembled violently. Even the entire Misty Cloud Mountain began to shake faintly.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and fierce winds suddenly swept across the plaza!

Queen Medusa was flung backward like a kite with its string cut. She spat out blood, leaving a scarlet trail in the air.

Before everyone could recover from their shock, bolts of lightning descended from the dark clouds. A green storm raged, while a vast ocean covered the sky and sun.

That ocean was half azure sea and half waves of fire!

The plaza cracked apart as sand and stones flew everywhere!

Five Worldly Extinctions!

Through the Five Worldly Extinctions, Chu Yang manifested the Five Spirit Power, influencing this patch of heaven and earth.

Though it was weaker than directly unleashing the Five Spirit Power, its spectacle was far more overwhelming.

He had not acted to kill anyone.

He had acted only to establish his authority!

He needed to frighten these people thoroughly in order to settle things once and for all, preventing trouble from coming to his door again and again.

Though Chu Yang’s strength rivaled that of a low-level Dou Sheng, after Dou Qi and Source Qi merged, his cultivation had only reached the level of a low-level Dou Zong.

Most of his methods lay in technique and arts, and every attack he made was a killing move.

If he killed Xiao Yan and all the others, who knew what chain reaction it might trigger?

To say nothing else, Xiao Xun’er, who had the entire Gu Clan behind her, was not someone Chu Yang could deal with at present.

His cultivation was not enough to intimidate them, yet he could not use overly powerful methods. That was why Chu Yang had brought out the Five Worldly Extinctions.

A moment later, when all the phenomena vanished, the plaza was a complete mess. Apart from the Cloud Mist Sect disciples, everyone else had disappeared.

Yun Yun came back to her senses and asked nervously, "Chu… Chu Yang… did you kill them all?"

Chu Yang glanced at her and curled his lips. "Don’t worry, Sect Leader. Xiao Yan isn’t dead. I only sent them down the mountain."

When Chu Yang bluntly pointed out that she was worried about Xiao Yan, Yun Yun looked a little embarrassed.

At the foot of Misty Cloud Mountain, the gathered experts looked around blankly, most of their eyes filled with fear.

But after confirming that they had not died and had merely been sent down Misty Cloud Mountain, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Queen Medusa’s pale body swayed a few times, as though she might collapse at any moment.

Xiao Yan stepped forward to support her. Looking gravely toward the mountaintop, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What kind of power was that?"

Queen Medusa shook her head. "I don’t know, but that Chu Yang is definitely not a Dou Zong!"

If he was not a Dou Zong, then surely he could not be weaker than one?

In other words… that fellow was very likely a legendary Dou Zun expert?!

Jia Xingtian glanced at Yao Ye and the imperial soldiers in the distance. They had also been sent down the mountain and were not in mortal danger, but they had fallen unconscious.

Walking over, Jia Xingtian patted Xiao Yan’s shoulder and sighed. "If he had intended to kill us, we would probably all be dead by now."

"Chu Yang just said that he only wanted to protect the Cloud Mist Sect. He has no intention of involving himself in the grudge between the Cloud Mist Sect and the Xiao Family."

"I think it would be best to stop here!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, veins throbbing on his forehead. Looking at Queen Medusa’s face, pale as gold paper, he gritted his teeth. "If we stop here, how can the departed souls of my Xiao Family rest in peace?"

"I don’t care whether Chu Yang is a Dou Zun or a Dou Sheng. This grudge will be repaid sooner or later!"

Xiao Yan himself had long been conflicted. He hated the Cloud Mist Sect, yet he could not bear to push Yun Yun too far.

So after Yun Shan, the chief culprit, died, Xiao Yan no longer had a primary target, and his Resentful Energy naturally diminished somewhat.

After all, whether he slaughtered those insignificant disciples or made things difficult for the Cloud Mist Sect Leader, with whom he shared a deep connection, neither would have any meaning.

But Chu Yang’s appearance gave Xiao Yan a clear target once more.

Xiao Yan could not bear to massacre Yun Yun’s Cloud Mist Sect, but if someone else became its ruler, he would be able to slaughter every last chicken and dog without hesitation!

Yun Shan and Chu Yang were both the same in that regard!

Besides, rather than turning the place into a river of blood, merely demanding that the Cloud Mist Sect disband was already Xiao Yan’s greatest concession. Yet now that the Cloud Mist Sect still remained, was he supposed to simply let such a blood feud go?

"Let’s go!"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and gave the mountaintop of Misty Cloud Mountain a long look. Then, ignoring Queen Medusa’s icy gaze, he directly swept her up in his arms and flew away.

The other experts looked at one another. All they could do was shake their heads and sigh before following after him.

The leaders of the Major Powers in the Jia Ma Empire all understood that this failed campaign against the Cloud Mist Sect meant their days would not be easy in the future.

With Dou Zong Yun Shan presiding over it, the Cloud Mist Sect had already been arrogant to such an extent that it even wanted to control the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Now that there was Chu Yang, a terrifyingly young monster who was suspected to be a Dou Zun, how much would the Cloud Mist Sect’s ambitions expand?

For now, they could only hope that after Chu Yang or Yun Yun took over the Cloud Mist Sect, they would not be as ruthless as Yun Shan.

If things reached the worst possible point, they could only abandon the foundations left by their ancestors and flee the Jia Ma Empire.

As for resistance?

Don’t be ridiculous!

So many experts had been powerless before Chu Yang today. What could they possibly use to resist?

But just as the Major Powers left the Cloud Mist Sect’s territory and nervously began planning their escape routes, a piece of news came from the Cloud Mist Sect.

Cloud Mist Sect Leader Yun Yun declared: From this day onward, any Cloud Mist Sect disciple who descended the mountain would be considered to have left the sect!

This news made every faction in the Jia Ma Empire breathe a sigh of relief.

Yun Yun was clearly stating her position. The Cloud Mist Sect would withdraw from the world and no longer allow disciples or elders to bully others by relying on the sect’s power.

Because once they descended the mountain, they would no longer be members of the Cloud Mist Sect…

They simply did not understand why the Cloud Mist Sect would do this.

Was it Yun Yun’s decision? Or Chu Yang’s?
