The Gama Empire had quite a few Dou Wang (Fighting King) present to watch the battle. Even Mu Chen of the Mu Family and Nalan Jie had a glint of light flash in their eyes.
You should know that back then, Lion King Yan Shi and Wind Walker Feng Li, two of the Gama Empire's top ten experts, were willing to risk their lives to escort Gu He through the Snake-People Empire to meet the Medusa Queen, all for a Dou Wang Pill promised by Gu He.
Hai Bo Dong, with his strength as a five-star Dou Huang (Fighting Emperor), almost died at the hands of the Medusa Queen. Even with Yun Yun accompanying him, if anything happened, a mere Dou Wang would just be sending themselves to their deaths.
But despite the great risks involved, Lion King Yan Shi and Wind Walker Feng Li ultimately agreed to Gu He's request, which shows the allure of a Dou Wang Pill.
Yun Leng gnashed his teeth as he looked at the pill in Xiao Yan's hand, and he sternly shouted at the Dou Wangs present who were tempted, "Today, our Yunlan Sect is dealing with sect matters. Whoever interferes, our Yunlan Sect will repay them tenfold in the future!"
Yun Leng's angry voice instantly spread throughout the entire plaza, causing many of the watching Dou Wangs to pause, shaking their heads and not daring to help.
But Xiao Yan remained as steady as Mount Tai on his sedan chair, smiling faintly as he said, "Yun Leng, you think you can scare everyone with that? You underestimate the allure of pills too much."
Just then, three figures with Dou Qi (Fighting Qi) wings suddenly shot over from a distance. The three of them simultaneously unleashed a Dou Qi palm strike at Yun Leng and the other two Dou Wangs, breaking apart their combined Dou Technique (Fighting Technique) from the outside.
Without exception, all three of them had their faces covered and wore loose cloaks. Moreover, all of them were Dou Wangs, and their strength was not much weaker than Yun Leng and the others.
Although these three people had their faces covered and wore loose cloaks, Xiao Yan, with his powerful soul force, had long since discovered that Mu Chen of the Mu Family, Fa Ma, and Mittel Tengshan had quietly left the Yunlan Sect not long after Xiao Yan finished speaking and took out the Dou Wang Pill, not knowing where they went.
Without a doubt, these three masked men were Mu Chen, Fa Ma, and Mittel Tengshan.
The reason why Xiao Yan was so calm was naturally because he understood people's hearts.
The Yunlan Sect was the bully and overlord of the Gama Empire. In the Gama Empire, they were an existence that could walk sideways, and no one dared to offend them. Not to mention the three great families, even the Gama Imperial Family and the Alchemist Guild were more or less restricted or even bullied.
Xiao Yan understood this very well, so he took out the Dou Wang Pill. This was not just about hiring Dou Wangs with pills, but also about giving some people an excuse to resist.
A rebellion always needs some reason.
Perhaps, apart from Mu Chen, that madman who genuinely and simply wanted the Dou Wang Pill, Mittel Tengshan and Fa Ma were more likely using this excuse to join forces against the Yunlan Sect, or to curry favor with Xiao Yan.
One person wouldn't dare to deal with the Yunlan Sect, but if there were several people, then it would be like crossing the road together, not afraid of the Yunlan Sect seeking revenge later.
Even the Yunlan Sect wouldn't dare to openly challenge all the cultivators of the Gama Empire.
And if Xiao Yan really challenged the Yunlan Sect's prestige this time, then as long as Xiao Yan was around, the Yunlan Sect's arrogance could no longer be as rampant as before, and other organizations and forces would no longer be so afraid of the Yunlan Sect.
This was of great significance to many families, large organizations, and even the Gama Imperial Family. Even if they couldn't destroy the Yunlan Sect, they had to destroy their prestige and arrogance!
"Fa Ma! Don't think I don't know it's you just because you're wearing a mask. Aren't you afraid that your Alchemist Guild will disappear from now on? Don't forget, Gu He is the strongest alchemist in the Gama Empire, not you!" Yun Leng roared while resisting Fa Ma's attack.
He never expected that someone would actually attack their Yunlan Sect for the sake of a Dou Wang Pill!
"Yun Leng, you've mistaken me. I'm not Fa Ma. People die for wealth, and birds die for food. Since Master Xiao Yan is willing to take out the Dou Wang Pill, then I have no choice but to help Master Xiao Yan," Fa Ma deliberately lowered his voice, even using pills that could change his voice, determined not to admit that he was Fa Ma.
"Moreover, the most skilled alchemist isn't necessarily Gu He. At least in the Fifth Grade (neutral) realm, Gu He can't refine such a perfect Dou Wang Pill."
"Damn it! Fa Ma!" Yun Leng was going crazy. A mere eighteen-year-old youth was actually making him so embarrassed!
At this moment, Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan with a strange expression. Sometimes, the things this guy said sounded outrageous and unreliable, but in the end, the results were always as he said they would be.
Sitting on the sedan chair, Xiao Yan shivered, took out a bottle of strong liquor and a wine glass from his storage ring, poured himself a cup, and just like he was admiring flowers and the moon, he watched the great battle in the arena and drank his wine! He completely treated Great Elder (masculine) Yun Leng as a performing clown, and warmed himself up in the process.
With Fa Ma and the other two restraining the three Dou Wang elders of the Yunlan Sect, Hai Bo Dong resisting the combined attack formation of the Yunlan Sect disciples, and those Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit) deacons and several low-level Dou Wangs, Xiao Yan really just sat there, not moving at all.
After drinking two cups of wine, Xiao Yan's cheeks were slightly flushed, and he said with a slightly tipsy voice, "Great Elder Yun Leng, it seems that you and the disciples of the Yunlan Sect are quite busy. I'm afraid you don't have time to entertain me. It seems that Xiao Yan will have to visit another day."
"It's a pity that I can't appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Yunlan Sect. That's really a great pity."
Xiao Yan shook his head slightly, his expression as if he really felt sorry.
Even Hai Bo Dong couldn't stand Xiao Yan's pretentious appearance and that irritating tone. Would it kill you to say a few less words? Why do you have to provoke this old man Yun Leng so much?
Don't you understand respecting the elderly! "Damn it!" Yun Leng cursed in a low voice and hurriedly retreated. As his hands danced, thick rock walls constantly appeared in front of him, blocking Fa Ma's attack.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yun Leng shouted, "Yun Yun! Don't forget your identity as the sect leader! Now that someone is causing a ruckus in the Yunlan Sect, how long do you intend to stand by and watch!"
At this moment, everyone's gaze turned to the beautiful Yunlan Sect leader, who had been like an outsider from beginning to end.
Just as Hai Bo Dong said, if Yun Yun, as a Dou Huang, were to take action, then the entire situation would be different.
But to everyone's surprise, Yun Yun looked at Yun Leng with a calm expression and slowly said, "Great Elder, do you still remember that I am the sect leader?"
As soon as Yun Yun said this, many people present were stunned. It was just as Yun Yun said, if they didn't know better, they would have thought that Yun Leng was the sect leader, making decisions on his own from beginning to end without asking Yun Yun.
However, those who understood the Yunlan Sect didn't find anything wrong with it. In fact, to put it bluntly, the reason why Yun Yun could become the sect leader wasn't because she had a high reputation in the Yunlan Sect, but because Yun Yun was a Dou Huang.
Within the Yunlan Sect, the one who truly wields power is Yun Leng. All the older generation elders listen to the Great Elder Yun Leng, not Yun Yun.
Many people haven't even seen Yun Yun a few times. Yun Leng manages all the affairs within the sect, big and small. Yun Yun spends most of her time cultivating, merely a figurehead sect leader.
Yun Yun gently patted Nalan Yanran's shoulder and said, "Yanran, this matter started because of you. Go and see Master Xiao Yan off Yunlan Sect."
