Xiao Yan's strength skyrocketed as he borrowed the power of Yao Lao, elevating him to the level of a Dou Emperor, and under his attacks, the three Elders' blockade was broken.
Looking at Xiao Yan whose aura had suddenly increased, Gu He on the stands revealed a look of realization.
This aura... was definitely the one that had attacked him!
An attack that contained an enormous amount of soul power was performed, forcing the Misty Cloud Sect Elder in front of him to retreat, and Xiao Yan immediately seized the opportunity to shoot out towards the foot of the Misty Cloud Mountain.
However, before he could get too far away, his footsteps stopped again.
Looking at Yun Yun, who was dressed in a luxurious green brocade robe in front of him, Xiao Yan's face was gloomy as he said, "Get out of the way!"
But Yun Yun paid no heed to his words and instead, her calm voice echoed through the square and reached the ears of every disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect.
"Disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect, listen to the command, group up for the Covering Sun Cloud Formation!"
"Do they need to use the Covering Sun Cloud Formation to deal with Xiao Yan? If this Covering Sun Cloud Formation is combined with a Dou Emperor presiding over the formation, even a Dou Ancestor powerhouse would have some scruples." Upon hearing Yun Yun's command, both Jia Xing Tian and Hai Bodong were stunned and shook their heads in unison.
However, after they noticed Xiao Yi Xian, who was perched atop the giant tree with a calm expression, they both realized that the formation was not targeting Xiao Yan but rather this powerful woman.
As the command echoed throughout the square, countless disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect momentarily froze before responding in unison, closing their eyes and releasing threads of white energy from the top of their heads.
A steady stream of white mist energy rose into the air, eventually covering almost the entire sky. To the naked eye, it looked as if they were in a sea of clouds.
The ten white-robed elders on the stone platform rose in unison and swiftly split up, rushing towards the large trees surrounding the square. They formed hand seals and manipulated the sea of clouds, shaping it into a spiral energy sphere.
"Surrender, Xiao Yan," Yun Yun said, trying to persuade him politely. "If you return the Heavenly Flame, our Misty Cloud Sect will spare you, considering Master Xiao Ming once rescued me."
"Hmph, wanting my Heavenly Flame, what a silly dream!" Xiao Yan retorted sternly, swinging his Heavy Xuan Ruler and unleashing a fierce gust of wind towards Yun Yun.
"Arrogant! Wall of Wind!"
Yun Yun's Dou Emperor aura burst out, and as she waved her jade hand, wind instantly whistled in the square, forming a slightly illusory layer of wind barriers.
Peng Peng Peng!
Xiao Yan, who had borrowed Yao Lao's soul power, was still not skilled enough to defeat a true Dou Emperor powerhouse like Yun Yun. Her formidable aura caused his attack to be easily blocked, forcing him to retreat back to the square.
As he backed away, he held the Heavy Xuan Ruler defensively in front of him, blocking the wind blades that Yun Yun had thrown at him.
To his surprise, Yun Yun did not continue her pursuit, but instead raised her right hand and manipulated the crystal sphere in the sky.
A milky white energy immediately descended from the void, and in the huge trees surrounding the square, nearly a hundred middle-aged-looking Misty Cloud Sect disciples had appeared at some point. Looking at their robes different from those of the other disciples, in addition to the dou qi overflowing from the surface of their bodies, it was obvious that most of them were no weaker than Dou Grandmaster.
These nearly one hundred disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect shouted in unison, and their robust and powerful Dou Qi burst out from their bodies, as white mist-like energy gushed out from their palms, hundreds of mist-like energies intertwined with each other and combined with the cascading mist. In a moment, a bowl-shaped energy shield was formed that covered the entire square.
At the same time, within the energy shield, the white energy mist also began to slowly spread.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this formation is a combination of the Covering Sun Cloud Formation and the Misty Cloud Formation. Even a Dou Huang would struggle to break it in a short time." Marveled Hai Bodong as he gazed at the energy mist.
'Isn't she going to make a move?' Jia Xing Tian looked at the calm Xiao Yi Xian and muttered inwardly.
'Is it possible that she doesn't want to get involved in this affair?'
Xiao Yan had been informed by Yao Lao about the immense strength of the energy shield, and he couldn't help but curse under his breath.
As he looked towards Xiao Yi Xian, who seemed indifferent to his plight, his anger boiled over.
'What's wrong with that crazy woman? Why isn't she making any move? Didn't Xiao Ming promise to help me get out of here?'
Yao Lao's old voice echoed in Xiao Yan's mind, 'There are two possibilities - either she's still upset with us and deliberately didn't make any move. Or that cousin of yours told her not to make any move, but this motive is somewhat difficult to understand, but no matter how it is, now that things have reached this critical point, either way, we will have to think of a solution by ourselves.'
'So, Master, what should we do then?' Xiao Yan asked, he had trusted Yao Lao all these years and now was no exception.
'I won't be able to maintain my power for long, so we need to leave the Misty Cloud Sect as soon as possible. Inform the two Snake-People that we need their help to escape. With two peak-level Dou Emperors waiting for us outside, we'll have a better chance of making it out safely.'
'When we get down from Misty Cloud Mountain, we'll head straight for the Jia Nan Academy.'
Yao Lao's plan seemed perfect, but Xiao Yan harbored quite a few doubts within his heart.
'Master, the way the situation is right now, will the Snake-People Tribe dare to come?'
'Don't worry, that Queen of the Snake-People Tribe is very greedy of the Heavenly Flame, and since Yun Shan has been stopped by Xiao Ming, they will definitely show up, besides, the Snake-People Tribe is already in conflict with the surrounding Empires, so they won't mind offending them.'
Hearing what Yao Lao said, Xiao Yan put aside the doubts in his heart, took a deep breath and took out a purple token engraved with an exquisite snake-shaped pattern from his storage ring, and crushed it with one hand.
The moment the token shattered, a mysterious power rose and immediately dissipated into heaven and earth.
While watching Xiao Yan's actions, Yun Yun stared at him and coldly shouted, "Xiao Yan, don't be stubborn!"
"Hmph!" Xiao Yan snorted in disdain; Did Yun Yun really think he would surrender without a fight? That was just wishful thinking!
"Wind Block!"
Observing Xiao Yan's haughty demeanor, Yun Yun decided not to show mercy. With a wave of her delicate hands, she formed a seal and summoned streams of green energy strings that snaked towards him like lightning. The energy mist in the air was drawn towards the ropes, augmenting their power.
Xiao Yan's arms, legs, waist, and neck were suddenly bound by the energy ropes, suspending him three meters above the ground.
Xiao Yan's strength skyrocketed as he borrowed the power of Yao Lao, elevating him to the level of a Dou Emperor, and under his attacks, the three Elders' blockade was broken.
