Chapter 307: The Yun Lan Sect in Panic, Aren't They Too Ruthless?
"Even if the three major families of the Jia Ma Empire and the imperial family joined forces, there's no way they could withstand a Dou Zong and ten Dou Huangs!"
The sudden statement made many elders nod silently in agreement.
"Hmph!"
"If they dare to challenge our Yun Lan Sect, then Sect Master, please give the order! We shall wipe the three families and the imperial family off the map of the Jia Ma Empire!"
"Yes, Sect Master! They are seeking their own death. Our Yun Lan Sect cannot tolerate this insult! They must pay the price in blood!"
Sitting at the head of the grand hall, Yun Shan's face was dark as his gaze swept over the furious elders and officials.
These were the same people who, just before his arrival, were filled with uncertainty and even discussing fleeing.
Yet now, with his presence, they had suddenly become unified, swearing to conquer the Jia Ma Empire.
The contrast was striking.
But Yun Shan knew very well everyone here was only thinking about themselves.
If the Yun Lan Sect truly faced an existential crisis, there would certainly be those willing to fight to the death, but not many.
They had indeed benefited from the sect, but was any reward greater than their own lives?
Some elders had never even received the "gifts" of the Yun Lan Sect, yet they remained devoted, willing to live and die with the sect.
After all, when they joined the Yun Lan Sect, they had sworn loyalty.
At that time, the Yun Lan Sect was still the holy land of the Jia Ma Empire, a place every Dou Shi yearned for.
But now?
The name Yun Lan Sect had become synonymous with "enemy" and even "devil" in the Jia Ma Empire.
For many elders, this had become a nightmare.
Yet Yun Shan felt no regret.
He was pursuing a higher realm!
He had been stuck at Dou Huang peak for too long.
If he did not break through to Dou Zong, he would die!
The choice was obvious.
A few moments later, Yun Shan slammed his palm violently against the table, sending a loud bang through the hall, startling everyone.
The elders and disciples shuddered, confused as to why their sect master was so enraged.
"Hmph!"
"Those damn three families did join forces, and yes, the Jia Ma Imperial Family also took action. But they weren't our real opponents!"
Standing from his seat, Yun Shan's gloomy expression made him seem almost ghostly.
"The ones who destroyed our Yun Lan Sect's forces… were the Serpent Clan!"
"What?!"
The elders froze, stunned.
The Serpent Clan, who had always been enemies of the Jia Ma Empire, had helped them?!
But… Queen Medusa had vanished after her evolution!
And along with her, that mysterious Guardian Elder had also disappeared.
Could it be…
"Queen Medusa?"
"That so called Guardian Elder, Wu Tian?"
The names suddenly flashed through their minds.
Yun Shan nodded slowly.
"Yes. The two of them appeared together. And judging by their strength… they are both Dou Zongs now!"
As he spoke those words, Yun Shan's eyelid twitched uncontrollably.
Damn it…
It was an absolute humiliation.
He had suffered so much to break through to Dou Zong.
Yet those two had done it in just over a year.
Meanwhile, he had spent years desperately trying to break through!
The gap was infuriating!
Sigh…
If only my Dou Qi was fire attribute…
The moment Yun Shan finished speaking, the entire hall fell into chaos.
Several Dou Huang elders wore stiff expressions.
Since when did Dou Zong become so easy to achieve?!
Both Yun Shan and Yun Leng had undergone immense suffering before breaking through.
Though they had received "special assistance", it was still an incredibly painful process.
Yet Medusa and Wu Tian had reached Dou Zong effortlessly?!
How was that possible?
Hadn't Medusa failed her evolution?
No she must have succeeded, but had required time to recover.
But Wu Tian?
How the hell did he reach Dou Zong?!
If reaching Dou Zong was this easy, then Jia Xing Tian wouldn't be waiting for death, Yun Shan wouldn't have had to rely on the Soul Hall, and Medusa wouldn't have risked her life for the Green Lotus Core Flame!
This was completely unfair!
Even Yun Shan felt a deep jealousy.
But compared to Jia Xing Tian who was powerless to change his fate Yun Shan was lucky.
Because he had the backing of an unimaginable force.
Thinking of this, a chill ran down Yun Shan's spine.
Medusa? Wu Tian?
They were nothing but stepping stones!
As long as he helped those people get what they wanted, the Yun Lan Sect would become the rulers of the Northwest Continent!
Then, during the Sect Summit, he would personally slaughter those who had once humiliated him!
"Jie jie jie jie~~"
"Sect Master, what should we do now? Should we send reinforcements to rescue the remaining disciples?"
Finally, someone remembered the thousands of Yun Lan Sect disciples still in the imperial capital.
Hearing this, the other elders quickly nodded in agreement.
Yun Shan pondered for a moment, about to approve the idea.
But before he could speak, Elder Yun Cha, who managed the sect's soul tokens, suddenly turned pale.
His voice shook as he spoke.
"I… I don't think that will be necessary…"
"The soul tokens of the other dispatched elders… have also shattered."
"This means the disciples… they have also…"
"...been completely wiped out."
At that moment, the entire hall froze.
A dizzying wave of shock and horror swept through them.
That was one Dou Zong, ten Dou Huangs, over ten Dou Wangs, and thousands of disciples.
This kind of force wasn't just enough to destroy the Jia Ma Empire.
It could have wiped out two neighboring empires with ease!
But now?
In just a few hours, they had all been annihilated.
The loss was something the Yun Lan Sect simply could not bear.
"Those bastard Serpent Clan scum… they were too ruthless! That was thousands of lives!"
Angry curses filled the hall.
But they conveniently forgot had they ever shown mercy when slaughtering others?
To show mercy to the enemy was to sow the seeds of disaster.
Wu Tian had unleashed the power of the Fallen Heart Flame, ensuring not a single Yun Lan Sect member escaped.
If even one survived, they would become a potential future threat.
This wasn't mercy.
This was self destruction.
