Chapter 5

In the Yun Lan Sect's grand hall, a vast expanse of black mist suddenly surged forth.

That black mist, like a surging tide, carried a gloomy aura and rapidly condensed in the sky.

Everyone only felt a chill rush at their faces, unable to suppress a shiver.

Before long, this black mist transformed into a deep black mist cluster about a zhang wide and long, suspended in mid-air.

Jia Xingtian looked at this black mist, his heart startled.

He could clearly sense that this person's cultivation base was actually above Yun Shan's!

Hai Bodong's expression also turned gloomy.

With this guy in the Yun Lan Sect, even if Yun Yi didn't return today, their group coming to demand an explanation would probably suffer a huge loss.

At this moment, Yun Yun looked at that black mist, her whole body feeling a wave of cold dread.

She recalled Yun Yi's previous questioning of Yun Shan, and the sect elders' guilty expressions.

The elders' increase in strength was most likely related to this person.

This person doesn't look like a good thing at first glance; how could Master-Uncle associate with him?

At this time, Xiao Yan, the Medusa Queen, and the others also had grave expressions.

"Another Dou Zong..."

Xiao Yan tightly gripped the Black Heavy Ruler in his hand, but his hands trembled slightly.

This aura is very cold and gloomy.

So this is the person hiding inside the Yun Lan Sect's grand hall.

Yao Lao warned from within his ring, "Xiao Yanzi, this is the one who took your father, a person from the Soul Hall..."

"Father..." Xiao Yan's heart tightened, "Don't know if I can learn his whereabouts from him."

At this moment, Yun Yi's brows lifted slightly, coldly glancing at that mist cluster.

Surging killing intent once again spread out.

The surrounding air trembled under the fluctuations of Yun Yi's killing intent condensed into substance.

The Difa Protector, being within it, felt his heart instantly panic; even the black mist churned uneasily.

"Difa Ying, you have such audacity, daring to throw my Yun Lan Sect into such chaos!"

Yun Yi's questioning struck like a heavy hammer on Difa Ying's heart.

Making him even more guilty.

He was very afraid Yun Yi would kill him on the spot.

If he had known earlier that the Yun Lan Sect had such a terrifying strongman behind it, even given a hundred guts he wouldn't dare act recklessly here.

"Junior Brother, this is the Difa Protector, he comes from the Soul Hall, he's a friend!"

Seeing this, Yun Shan's heart tightened, afraid the two would come to blows at the slightest disagreement.

However, Yun Yi paid no heed to Yun Shan, merely watching Difa Ying with cold eyes.

"Yes, Venerable Yun, you must also know of the Soul Hall; we can cooperate..."

Difa Ying hurriedly followed Yun Shan's words, his tone obviously much more respectful than Yun Shan's.

He knew clearly in his heart that a Protector of his level was a dime a dozen in the Soul Hall; only in a barren place like the Northwest Continent could he put on airs.

Facing a Dou Zun strongman like Yun Yi, he didn't even dare breathe too heavily.

"Cooperate?"

"You're also worthy?"

Yun Yi let out a cold laugh, this laughter filled with disdain.

He didn't leave a shred of face.

Yet Difa Ying didn't dare retort, only able to hide awkwardly in the black mist without a sound.

"So many people of my Yun Lan Sect had their souls tampered with by you; killing you a hundred times wouldn't vent my hatred!"

Yun Yi reached out and grabbed at Difa Ying.

An invisible large hand appeared out of thin air, carrying powerful fluctuations, striking toward Difa Ying.

Where that large hand passed, the air seemed to be torn apart.

Difa Ying's face changed drastically; he hurriedly released countless black chains forming a spiderweb-like shield trying to block.

However, Yun Yi's semi-transparent energy giant hand merely approached slowly; just the fluctuations of the surrounding aura shattered these black chains into collapse!

All chains crumbled one after another without the slightest power to struggle.

Then this energy giant hand clenched!

A somewhat illusory soul slowly drifted out.

Such a powerful person, unexpectedly was merely a soul body.

Yun Yun couldn't help covering her mouth, her eyes full of shock.

"Inside the black mist, it's actually like this..."

Yun Shan stared wide-eyed; he had never seen the Difa Protector's true form either.

Then Yun Yi lightly waved his hand, pulling that soul body over.

Difa Ying was currently terrified to the extreme; he struggled desperately, begging loudly for mercy.

"Venerable Yun, spare my life!"

"I know I was wrong, please let me go!"

"I'll never set foot in the Yun Lan Sect again... no, not a single step into the Jia Ma Empire!!"

Watching Difa Ying looking so scared his heart nearly stopped, the surrounding crowd looked at each other in dismay.

First the Dou Huang strength Gu He, now even a strongman surpassing Yun Shan was instantly defeated by Yun Yi.

Jia Xingtian couldn't help but retreat a step.

If a Yun Lan Sect like this had any ideas, the Jia Ma Empire would probably belong to the Yun family the very next second...

And Hai Bodong, who had previously thought of fighting to the death at worst, was now more cowardly than Jia Xingtian.

With such a calm and effortless posture of subduing a Dou Zong strongman, even if he had a hundred times the guts, he wouldn't dare confront him head-on.

There is still a difference between courage and simply courting death.

And the scene before him also left Yun Shan greatly surprised; he had originally known that Yun Yi was very strong, but he hadn't expected to still underestimate his Junior Brother's strength.

However, he was very puzzled—what exactly was the situation with the other party tampering with the soul that his Junior Brother had just mentioned?

At this moment, seeing Yun Yi about to crush the Falcon Eagle at any time, Xiao Yan became anxious.

"Senior, wait!"

Although he was afraid in his heart, and his hands trembled when facing Yun Yi, Xiao Yan still plucked up his courage and flew out.

He was afraid that Yun Yi would directly kill the Falcon Eagle.

By then, he would have no way to ask the Falcon Eagle about his father's whereabouts.

And the reason he dared to speak up was because he felt Yun Yi looked righteous and upright, and should be a reasonable person.

However, as for Xiao Zhan's whereabouts, how could this little Protector of the Falcon Eagle possibly know?

But upon hearing this, the Falcon Eagle's heart suddenly sparked a glimmer of hope, and he hurriedly shouted, "If you can make Venerable Yun not kill me, I can tell you..."

"Don't even think about it; if this Venerable wants to kill you, how can others interfere!"

Yun Yi let out a cold laugh.

The Falcon Eagle's face instantly turned pale, and he could only finally try to use the name of the Soul Hall as backing.

"You need to think this through."

"I am a person of the Soul Hall; if you kill me, even if you are a Dou Zun strongman, the Soul Hall will not let you go!"

"I don't need the Soul Hall to let me go."

"Those who dare to provoke me shall all be killed." Yun Yi glanced indifferently at Xiao Yan, who was trembling all over under his pressure.

"Kid, wait until you can reach my current cultivation base before you have the qualifications to investigate your father's whereabouts; knowing now is futile!"

Although his voice was not loud, it echoed in Xiao Yan's ears like a great bell.

Xiao Yan's heart sank; he understood that Yun Yi was speaking the truth, and his current strength was indeed too weak.

Immediately, Yun Yi clenched his hand, and with a pop, the Falcon Eagle's Soul Body instantly dissipated, completely disappearing from the world.

"What this person said is not wrong."

"Xiao Yanzi, your current strength is still too weak."

Yao Lao sensed Xiao Yan's dejected mood within the ring, and thus spoke to comfort him.

"You must cultivate hard; only by becoming stronger can you go search for your father's whereabouts."

Xiao Yan bit his lip tightly and nodded.

"Junior Brother... if the Soul Hall..."

At this moment, Yun Shan looked at Yun Yi with a face full of worry; he knew the terror of the Soul Hall and feared they would retaliate wildly because of this.

"Senior Brother, rest assured; it's just killing a mere Protector, the Soul Hall won't go so far as to mobilize troops."

Yun Yi had a calm expression on his face, not taking the Soul Hall seriously at all.

Back then, he had killed so many Venerables of the Soul Hall, so how could he care about these?
