Chapter 96: The Youngest Nine-Star Dou Sheng
🕑 Added 2023-06-11 15:53:29 +0000 UTCIn the vast land of the Jia Ma Empire, there are many remarkable talents and powerful individuals who shine on the stage of the Dou Qi Continent.
Among them, the reputation of the Misty Cloud Sect has always been prominent, surpassing even the Jia Ma Royal Family.
Now, with the breakthrough of their former Sect Master, Yun Shan, to the Dou Zong level, he has firmly established himself as the number one powerhouse in the Jia Ma Empire.
From now on, the Misty Cloud Sect is destined to rise even further in the Jia Ma Empire, surpassing any other power in the region.
This dominance of the Misty Cloud Sect is not a result that many forces in the Jia Ma Empire are willing to accept, especially the Jia Ma Royal Family.
As rulers and an imperial family, they strive for balance, but with the Misty Cloud Sect becoming too powerful, it becomes impossible to maintain that balance.
In the Jia Ma Imperial City, people seem to have forgotten about the death of Gu He and instead worry about Yun Shan, the former Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, breaking through to the Dou Zong level.
After all, how can a dead person pose a greater threat than a living Dou Zong?
Meanwhile, within the Misty Cloud Sect, news of Gu He's demise spreads like wildfire.
Disciple A says, "Have you heard? It seems that Elder Gu He was killed by Master Yun Yun because he offended her lover."
Disciple B adds, "You've heard too? I heard that Elder Gu He caught Master Yun Yun in an illicit affair with her lover, and Master Yun Yun killed him to silence him."
Disciple C chimes in, "Elder Gu He was at least a Six-Grade Pill Master and a Dou Wang-level expert. It's heartless of Master Yun Yun to kill him without any hesitation!"
Rumors and gossip spread like wildfire within the Misty Cloud Sect, with all kinds of sensational stories surrounding the death of Gu He.
The rumors became increasingly exaggerated, and the entire sect was abuzz with these discussions. Rumors are truly fearsome!
And the one behind the spreading of these rumors is none other than the Grand Elder, Yun Ling. The most dangerous moment is often the least expected.
Just after being warned by former Sect Master Yun Shan, it is unlikely that anyone would have anticipated Yun Ling daring to slander Sect Master Yun Yun at such a critical moment.
Yun Ling is playing with fire!
If he plays his cards right, he can easily burn Yun Yun to ashes. But if he mishandles it, he will burn himself instead.
To achieve extraordinary accomplishments, one must employ extraordinary means. Fortune favors the bold. Yun Ling has enough ambition, but not enough strength.
However, he has enough courage, and with great courage, there is nothing that Yun Ling cannot accomplish.
Rumors and gossip spread throughout the Misty Cloud Sect.
…
Gu He's disciple, Liu Ling, is kneeling outside the main hall of the sect, kneeling for two whole days. For the past two days, Liu Ling has remained kneeling without uttering a word or eating.
He simply hopes that Yun Yun can give him an explanation, give his teacher Gu He an explanation.
After all, Gu He was an elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, someone who had contributed countless merits to the sect, and now, it's as if he never existed.
Liu Ling, as Gu He's disciple, is unwilling to accept this.
He doesn't want to believe the rumors circulating within the Misty Cloud Sect, but he is gradually forced to believe them because when everyone is discussing something and heading in a certain direction, even if the outcome may not be true, it no longer matters because others have already lost their trust.
Liu Ling hopes that Yun Yun, the Sect Master, can give him an explanation, give his deceased teacher Gu He some closure.
For the sake of this result, he has been kneeling here for two full days. However, it seems that Yun Yun has no intention of providing him with an explanation.
This has led him, who was initially unwilling to believe the rumors, to gradually believe that the rumors are true. The one who killed his teacher is indeed Yun Yun, and the rumors are not baseless.
Nalan Yanran walks out of the main hall and sees Liu Ling kneeling at the entrance. She advises him, "Liu Ling, please rise. The teacher won't see you.”
“The death of Elder Gu He has caused great guilt for the teacher. Elder Gu He offended someone he shouldn't have offended, not even the Misty Cloud Sect can afford to do so. The teacher is helpless when it comes to avenging Elder Gu He."
Upon hearing Nalan Yanran's words, Liu Ling remains kneeling without getting up, without saying a word.
The Misty Cloud Sect holds a superior position within the Jia Ma Empire and is one of the top forces in the entire northwest continent.
Could there be anyone that the Misty Cloud Sect cannot afford to offend? Is that even possible? Impossible!
He doesn't believe it. If the Misty Cloud Sect doesn't give him an explanation, he will continue kneeling indefinitely. He will remain in this position.
"Sigh!"
Nalan Yanran looked at Liu Ling's stubbornness and couldn't help but sigh. She turned and walked into the main hall.
"Grand Master!"
"Master!"
Nalan Yanran entered the main hall and slightly bowed to Yun Yun and Yun Shan.
Yun Yun asked, "Is Liu Ling still unwilling to leave?"
"Yes," Nalan Yanran nodded. "Liu Ling refuses to leave. Ever since the news of Elder Gu He's fall spread, rumors have been spreading rapidly within the Misty Cloud Sect."
"Aren't you going to put a stop to it?"
"It seems to be getting more and more outrageous," Nalan Yanran said.
"No rush. I've entrusted this matter to Elder Yun Ling. He has three days to resolve it. If he can't solve it within three days, then it's his own problem," Yun Yun said.
"I see," Nalan Yanran said, understanding that her teacher had a plan. She changed the subject and asked, "Teacher, are you sure you don't want to see Liu Ling?"
"Liu Ling wants to kneel, so let him kneel! Let's see how long he can kneel," Yun Yun said with a hint of indifference.
"Well..." Nalan Yanran couldn't help but sigh softly for Liu Ling.
...
In the past two days, Hun Tiandi, apart from eliminating Xiao Yan, has spent the rest of his time in the Misty Cloud Sect, secretly observing the sect's every move and also observing Xiao Yixian.
After obtaining the ring, Xiao Yixian followed his request and began swallowing poison according to his instructions.
Xiao Yixian possessed the Woeful Poison Body, which didn't have any bottleneck in cultivation.
As long as she had enough poison to swallow, she could completely transform the poison's power into her own. The Woeful Poison Body was truly a natural advantage.
Those who possessed the Woeful Poison Body were like heaven's favored children, even more extraordinary than having the bloodline of a Dou Di.
Those with the bloodline of a Dou Di still had to cultivate, but those with the Woeful Poison Body didn't need to cultivate at all. They just had to swallow poison!
The only downside to the Woeful Poison Body was that it was difficult to suppress. As more poison was swallowed, it became increasingly challenging to suppress it.
Throughout history, there have been many people with the Woeful Poison Body, but very few were able to completely suppress the poison backlash and reach the pinnacle of the Dou Qi continent.
Xiao Yixian.
Hun Tiandi held high expectations for her.
He, Hun Tiandi, wouldn't make a losing deal.
With the support of the Soul Clan, Hun Tiandi believed that as long as Xiao Yixian fully devoted herself, he could solve the drawbacks of her Woeful Poison Body. He even had the confidence to bring Xiao Yixian to the same height as him in a very short time.
The Soul Clan had a rich background, and they had a vast collection of poisons. It was enough to allow Xiao Yixian to become a Nine-Star Dou Sheng in a very short time, making her the youngest Nine-Star Dou Sheng on the entire continent.
