Chapter 331: The army presses on the border

The current Misty Cloud Sect is undoubtedly the number one faction in the Northwest region of the continent.

But apart from Chu Yang, having no other Dou Sheng experts to sit in town is also the biggest problem for the Misty Cloud Sect.

In terms of foundation, the Misty Cloud Sect does not lose to the first-class factions of the Central Continent, and its overall strength is even better, even approaching the level of the seven ancient clans.

After all, among those first-class factions on the surface of the Central Continent, the vast majority only have a few Dou Zuns sitting in town, at most having an ancestor-level figure at the Half-Saint realm or a low-level Dou Sheng.

But looking at the Misty Cloud Sect, the core elders have reached double digits, and the Sect Leader, Na Lan Yanran, is also a young Dou Zun expert.

They also have the deterrent power of the Dou Sheng level, and it is that young monster who shocked everyone and easily killed three Dou Shengs at the beginning.

But compared to super first-class factions like the Dan Tower and the Hall of Souls, there is still a significant gap, and it is even more incomparable to the seven ancient clans.

The Chu Yun Empire suddenly had so many experts overnight; even if the confidentiality work was done well, it would still leave some traces.

Through these traces, many factions finally locked their eyes on the Hall of Souls.

When the three ancient tribes wanted to move against the Misty Cloud Sect, the Hall of Souls, which was originally quite active in the Northwest region, did not intervene, a matter that left many people puzzled.

They thought it was because the Hall of Souls had discovered the extraordinary nature of the Misty Cloud Sect in advance, which was why they remained still, but now it seems they clearly had deeper plans.

If the Hall of Souls were to mobilize experts on a large scale on the surface, it would be impossible to hide it from the eyes and ears of major factions.

But now, so many experts suddenly appeared in the Northwest region, clearly showing that the Hall of Souls had long been prepared and had laid out a series of layouts, deceiving the world while accumulating strength.

Some even boldly speculated that the Hall of Souls had been planning in the Northwest region for a long time, but at that time the Misty Cloud Sect had not yet risen, and no one knew what the Hall of Souls was plotting.

It just so happened that when the Hall of Souls had accumulated enough strength, the Misty Cloud Sect ran into the muzzle of the gun!

When the three tribes made trouble, the reason the Hall of Souls did not take action was probably because they wanted to play the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

It is a pity that the Misty Cloud Sect, which was regarded as prey, transformed and countered the three ancient tribes, and Chu Yang's strength and his dominance shocked the entire Northwest region.

Precisely because of this, the Hall of Souls continued to remain still, until news of Chu Yang appearing in the Central Continent spread some time ago, and only then did the Hall of Souls suddenly erupt!

In the Central Continent, Chu Yang had only been to three places: the Fum Smoke Valley, the Dan Tower, and the Eastern Dragon Island.

Although all three factions were on good terms with him, the larger the faction, the harder it was to avoid the existence of pests.

The Fum Smoke Valley and the Eastern Dragon Island were still fine; the latter lived in seclusion, while the former rarely intervened in outside matters and was also in a semi-hidden state.

But the Dan Tower was different. Although it was a pure alchemist faction, its personnel composition was complex, and it was inevitable that there would be people who had seen him and leaked the news.

However, Chu Yang was not worried about this, because he had no intention of deliberately hiding his head and tail.

But the Hall of Souls would not let go of such a great opportunity! The layout of the Hall of Souls in the Northwest region was originally to seize the piece of Emperor Jade in the hands of the Xiao family, as well as the thousand-year plan of the Soul Clan.

Of course, it was not just the Northwest region; the Soul Clan had sent a large number of experts to all parts of the continent.

This had to be said, the foundation of the Misty Cloud Sect was too eye-catching.

Numerous Heaven-tier cultivation techniques and Dou Skills were enough to rival the foundation of the seven ancient clans, and any faction would be envious of them.

That was why the Soul Clan had moved the secret forces left in the Northwest region in advance, wanting to take down the Misty Cloud Sect in one fell swoop while Chu Yang was away! They also had the confidence to succeed before Chu Yang could rush back.

After all, the Central Continent was far from the Jia Ma Empire, and even if a Dou Sheng expert rushed at full speed, it would take some time.

Moreover, it was not an easy thing for the Misty Cloud Sect to pass news to Chu Yang, and it would take even longer.

This back and forth gave the Hall of Souls enough opportunity.

It was just that no one expected that this war, which the Hall of Souls thought would be without suspense, would not achieve a crushing victory.

In the battle at the border of the Jia Ma Empire, the Chu Yun Empire legion, composed of the Soul Clan's hidden forces and the Hall of Souls' experts, broke the Flame Alliance's defense line in one fell swoop.

Subsequently, the alliance retreated steadily, and the experts of the Misty Cloud Sect came out of the mountains.

But even so, the Jia Ma Empire side was still no match, fighting and retreating all the way to the Imperial Capital! The Chu Yun legion even controlled half of the Jia Ma Empire, and this process only took one day! Just when they thought they could continue to drive straight in and kill to the foot of the Misty Cloud Mountain, an accident happened.

A flood dragon that did not know where it came from blocked all the Dou Sheng experts of the Chu Yun legion with its own strength! A full eleven Dou Shengs, even if they were not the core forces of the Soul Clan, were only low-level Dou Shengs, but they were still genuine Dou Sheng experts!

What's more, the cultivation of that flood dragon was only a 1-Star Dou Sheng! Looking at the Chu Yun legion, the strongest was an early 3-Star Dou Sheng! One against eleven, and in a situation where the strength gap was huge, the flood dragon was able to fight repeatedly without defeat, and instead severely injured two Dou Sheng experts of the Chu Yun legion! Since then, the pace of the Chu Yun legion's attack stopped, blocked outside the Imperial Capital, and for three consecutive days, they could not take it.

What was even more unexpected was that the flood dragon, which was as dazzling as a god of war, was actually still in its infancy, and had a name that was quite incongruous with her powerful strength and huge body...

Little!

When people learned that Little was just a Grade 6 Magical Beast that Chu Yang had picked up in the Magical Beast Mountain Range years ago, they were even more shocked beyond measure.

Chu the Monster used less than three years to actually cultivate a Grade 6 Magical Beast to the Dou Sheng realm?

It was simply outrageous! Thirty miles outside the Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire.

In the military tent, more than a dozen figures were sitting or standing, each emitting a somewhat dark aura, making the entire military tent look incomparably gloomy.

Sitting in the first seat was an old man who was as thin as a stick, like a skeleton wrapped in human skin.

The old man looked gloomy, looked at someone below, frowned and asked, "Elder Gu You, when will the reinforcements you mentioned arrive?"

That person only had the cultivation of a high-level Half-Saint, while the old man was an early 3-Star Dou Sheng, but that person did not give any face at all, and snorted coldly, "Since this Saint said there are reinforcements, the reinforcements will definitely arrive!"

"We just need to wait with peace of mind!"

"Bai Gu, are you doubting me, or are you doubting the Hall Master?"

A gloomy look flashed in Bai Gu's eyes, but he did not erupt, only emitting a laugh that made people's teeth ache.

Saint Gu You, although known as a Saint, actually only had the cultivation of a high-level Half-Saint, but his status in the Hall of Souls was very high; he was the Second Heaven Venerable of the Hall of Souls.

Most importantly, Gu You had made great contributions to the Soul Clan and was appointed as an elder.

At this time, there were twelve people in the military tent, and except for Gu You, all were Dou Sheng experts.

But these people were either secretly cultivated by the Soul Clan or came from the Soul Clan's affiliated factions.

Although they were powerful, they could not see the light, and their status was far inferior to Gu You, the Soul Clan elder.

Therefore, although everyone did not like him, they could only pinch their noses and endure it.

Bai Gu asked with a hidden knife in his smile, "Elder Gu You, I wonder which Saint the clan will send to reinforce us this time?"

Gu You also knew that he could just show off his power as a cheap elder, but he could not suppress these guys in front of him too hard, so he stopped putting on airs and said softly:

"The clan has already said that this matter is fully responsible by the Hall of Souls, so naturally, no experts will be sent to reinforce us." "However, the Deputy Hall Master is already on the way. With his help, that girl who does not know life or death will definitely not be able to stir up trouble again!"

Hearing him say this, everyone present had their eyes lit up, and the heart that Bai Gu had been hanging was also put down.

Regarding the Misty Cloud Sect, the Soul Clan gave them a death order; if they could not succeed within ten days, everyone would be held accountable.

But that little girl was too evil; not only was her cultivation a 1-Star Dou Sheng, but her physical strength had reached the level of a 2-Star Dou Sheng.

Most importantly, I don't know what cultivation technique she practiced, but she could perfectly fuse her physical strength with her cultivation!

Experts on the Douqi Continent, even if they practiced both internally and externally, their physical strength and cultivation were ultimately distinct. The situation of perfectly fusing them together was simply unheard of!

This news made the Soul Clan even more determined to get the inheritance of the Misty Cloud Sect, which was why the Hall of Souls directly sent the Deputy Hall Master to support.

Bai Gu knew that the Deputy Hall Master was a peak 3-Star Dou Sheng expert; with him and himself joining forces, the little girl left would definitely not be a problem.

It was just that they did not know, what kind of technique was Little's method? That was clearly the particularity of the fourth-generation peak beast body! Or to be precise, whether it was the beast body or god body of the Super God world, it could not be measured purely by physical body, but was a manifestation of all-around capabilities.

When this characteristic was combined with the power of the Douqi Continent, it produced some chemical reactions.

Just at this time, a Dou Sheng said with some worry, "That Chu Yang... will he rush back?"

Gu You sneered and said, "Not to mention that there is not enough time, even if he has a secret method and can quickly rush back to the Jia Ma Empire, we don't need to worry!"

"The clan is determined to win this operation, so how could there be no backup plan?"

Hearing him say this, everyone was refreshed.

The meaning in Gu You's words was very clear, that is, there were experts from the clan secretly escorting them!

They also all knew that with such a big commotion, the other six ancient clans must have already learned the news and would definitely not let the Soul Clan swallow the foundation of the Misty Cloud Sect alone.

So once they succeeded, each clan would launch a higher-level game.

Whoever used the backup plan hidden in the dark first would be in a passive position, so the Soul Clan would rather slow down the pace of the attack and let the Hall of Souls send people to support, rather than let the experts in the dark take action.

"That's the best, but when we fight again, Elder Gu You should stay in the rear!"

Bai Gu said nonchalantly, "The elder has not yet broken through to Dou Sheng; if there is an accident, we will not be able to explain it to the clan!"

Hearing this sentence, Gu You's face sank instantly.

Once they attacked the Misty Cloud Sect, the first batch of people to eat crabs would definitely make a fortune.

Even if they had to hand over many cultivation techniques to the clan later, they could completely cultivate them themselves before that.

Bai Gu wanted to kick him out of the game!

And the threat in the words was very clear. Gu You did not doubt at all that if there was a chance, Bai Gu would definitely kill himself on the chaotic battlefield and then frame it on the Misty Cloud Sect.

But just at this time, the space in the military tent suddenly cracked a gap.

A figure walked out, swept his eyes over everyone present, finally fixed on Bai Gu, and said lightly, "Bai Gu, Gu You is a Heaven Venerable of the Hall of Souls and an elder of the clan; it is not your turn to teach him how to act!"

Bai Gu's face changed, he quickly piled up a smile, stood up and cupped his hands, "I have seen the Deputy Hall Master! I was just making a joke just now, and I hope Elder Gu You will not take it to heart..."

The Deputy Hall Master of the Hall of Souls snorted coldly, then said no more, turned and walked out of the tent, and said, "Don't waste time, order the attack immediately!"

"This seat will solve that beast with you all!"

…………

Jia Ma Empire, border.

Chu Yang walked out of the wormhole, looked at the desolation below, and narrowed his eyes.

Looking up at the Imperial Capital, Chu Yang sneered and muttered, "Twelve Dou Shengs, the Hall of Souls really has a big hand!"

"If all these people fold here, I wonder if the Soul Clan will feel the pain?"

Sweeping a glance at the slowly closing wormhole, Chu Yang curled his lips and said, "The three old guys are really cautious..."

When he was on the Eastern Dragon Island, the three Dragon Kings visited, and Zhu Li told the excuse he had prepared in advance.

At that time, Chu Yang was in seclusion refining pills. After feeling his Soul Force fluctuations, the three Dragon Kings did not pester him anymore.

They were not reckless, just wanting to seize power, not wanting to destroy the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe.

Let alone the current Void Ancient Dragon Tribe, even in its peak period, it would definitely not want to offend a Grade 9 Alchemist.

However, when Chu Yang left, the three Dragon Kings still cautiously followed him in secret, until they saw Chu Yang enter the space wormhole, and then they felt at ease.

"So coincidental?"

Chu Yang suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at the Imperial Capital.

He really did not expect that as soon as he returned, he would run into the Chu Yun legion launching a general attack!

…………

Jia Ma Empire, Imperial Capital.

In the Imperial Palace Council Hall, the top experts in the Jia Ma Empire and the heads of various factions were all sitting.

In the first seat was none other than Na Lan Yanran.

They were discussing various plans to deal with the Chu Yun legion. Now, although Little had blocked the Dou Sheng level experts, in terms of overall strength, the Jia Ma Empire was still stretched thin.

Although the Flame Alliance was powerful, it could not even produce a Dou Zun, and was not even as good as the Canaan Academy and the Heaven Snake Mansion that came to support.

Canaan Academy sent two old men, both were peak Dou Zongs, practicing joint attack techniques, and together they were enough to contend with a Dou Zun.

The Heaven Snake Mansion sent two Dou Zuns to help.

Apart from this, the remaining Dou Zun experts all came from the Misty Cloud Sect!

Although since the rise of the Misty Cloud Sect, many foreign experts had settled in the Jia Ma Empire, there were only a handful of Dou Zun experts, and they all joined the Misty Cloud Sect.

The current Misty Cloud Sect already had more than a dozen core elders at the Dou Zun realm.

Na Lan Yanran also finally broke through to Dou Zun two months ago, becoming the number one expert in the Jia Ma Empire, excluding Chu Yang, Yun Yun, and Little! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 332 =====
