Chapter 707: Naturally, She Is Willing

“Presumptuous! Yun Yun is the Sect Master of my Yunlan Sect, a person of noble status. How can an individual of unknown origin like you covet her! Leave at once, or do not blame this old man for being impolite!” Yun Shan roared in anger as the Douqi within his body erupted, causing the entire Secluded Cultivation Stone Room to tremble slightly.

The smile on Yu Xian’s face remained unchanged, and his figure stayed motionless, as if Yun Shan’s Aura had absolutely no effect on him.

“Impolite? How do you plan to be impolite? With your meager level of cultivation, it’s not even enough to scratch an itch for me.

I came here today to give you a choice.

Either you agree to the marriage between me and Yun Yun readily, and from now on, the Yunlan Sect will have my protection—afterward, let alone in the Jia Ma Empire, even looking across the entire Douqi Continent, no one would dare provoke you lightly.

Or, I shall tear down your Yunlan Sect. Choose for yourself.” He shook his head gently, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness, and then directly released his pressure.

The massive pressure swept through the entire Secluded Cultivation Stone Room like a tsunami, instantly crushing Yun Shan’s erupting Douqi into nothingness.

That pressure was not Douqi, yet it contained the terrifying power of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, like a deity from the Nine Heavens looking down upon an ant. It caused Yun Shan’s body to tremble violently and uncontrollably, his bones letting out overburdened creaks, veins bulging on his forehead as cold sweat instantly drenched his robes.

He felt as if he were being held deathly tight by an invisible giant hand; even breathing became incredibly difficult, and his internal organs felt as though they were about to be crushed.

It was a fear originating from the depths of his Soul, making him feel as fragile as paper in front of the other party.

He gritted his teeth hard, wanting to resist, but found he didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger. He could only stare blankly at the young man before him as if looking at a Dominator who held the power of life and death.

“Senior, have mercy…” Yun Shan no longer possessed any of his previous toughness or arrogance. His voice carried an uncontrollable tremble as his knees buckled, and he knelt straight down toward Yu Xian.

In all his years of living, he had never been so pathetic, nor had he ever felt such desperate fear.

The other party’s power had already far exceeded his understanding of the word’strong’; it was an existence as unshakable as the world itself.

“Senior, please appease your anger! This Junior… this Junior did not intend to offend. Yun Yun… if Senior takes a liking to Yun Yun, that is her honor! It’s just that Yun Yun… she is, after all, the Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect; this matter still requires her personal consent.”

At this moment, where did he have even half of his previous majesty? His posture was extremely low, and the cold sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks, dripping onto the cold stone floor.

He knew that the person before him was absolutely not someone he could contend with. Forget tearing down the Yunlan Sect, the man could probably make his body and spirit perish with a flick of a finger.

Yu Xian looked at the kneeling Yun Shan, a flash of disdain crossing his eyes. Was this the Master whom Yun Yun revered like a god? These so-called experts of the Righteous Path were nothing more than this in the face of absolute power.

“Naturally, she is willing, otherwise I wouldn’t have brought her back,” Yu Xian said in a flat tone.

“Yun Yun is back?” Yun Shan was surprised. Yun Yun had gone out to seek rare resources that could increase strength in a short time for her Disciple, Nalan Yanran, to help her prepare for the Three-Year Agreement with Xiao Yan. However, she had never returned. He had sent people to search for her, but there wasn’t a single trace.

He had thought something had happened to Yun Yun, never expecting she would return accompanied by such a powerful expert.

“She’s back, I brought her back. I’m here today just to inform you that Yun Yun is my woman. If you are sensible, do not have any objections toward Yun Yun, and I will protect the Yunlan Sect in the future. Moreover, I will help you Breakthrough to Dou Zong, or even higher. If you are not sensible…” Yu Xian did not continue, but the threat in his words made Yun Shan’s entire body turn cold.

“Yes, yes, what Senior says is correct,” Yun Shan hurriedly responded, not daring to have the slightest objection.

“For Yun Yun to gain Senior’s favor is her fortune, and also the fortune of my Yunlan Sect. Junior… Junior will go prepare right away to hold a grand wedding for Senior and Yun Yun, announcing it to the entire Jia Ma Empire!” He now only thought of how to please this Senior. As for Sect rules or teacher-Disciple bonds, they were not worth mentioning in the face of his life.

“A wedding won’t be necessary; I don’t like making a scene. You just need to remember that Yun Yun is my person. No one can bully her, including you,” Yu Xian waved his hand.

He was merely nipping any potential issues in the bud so as not to make things difficult for Yun Yun.

“Yes!” Yun Shan responded respectfully.

“By the way, you’d better cut ties with the Soul Hall as soon as possible,” Yu Xian asked, thinking of Yun Shan’s history.

Hearing the words “Soul Hall,” Yun Shan’s body suddenly stiffened, and a flash of uncertainty and alarm crossed his face.

“Soul Hall? Senior must be joking. My Yunlan Sect has always acted uprightly and honorably, with no dealings with such a sinister organization. Why would they come looking for me?” Yun Shan’s eyes flickered, clearly hiding something.

Yu Xian took in his entire reaction and sneered inwardly. Yun Shan had long since made a deal with the Soul Hall, yet he was still denying it now, heh…

“It’s best that way. The people of the Soul Hall are not good sorts. If you get involved with them, you will not only harm yourself but also the Yunlan Sect. Take care of yourself.” He did not expose him immediately, only speaking indifferently.

There was a faint hint of warning in his words, making Yun Shan’s heart shudder, not daring to say more.

“Thank you for the reminder, Senior. This Junior will certainly be careful.” Yun Shan suppressed the stormy waves rising in his heart.

This mysterious Senior not only had unfathomable strength but even knew about the Soul Hall’s affairs. It seemed he was definitely no ordinary person.

He secretly rejoiced that he hadn’t remained stubborn to the end just now; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

At the same time, he also became more wary regarding the Soul Hall’s affairs. It seemed he would need to be even more cautious in the future.

Seeing that Yun Shan’s attitude had softened and that he was wary of the Soul Hall, Yu Xian said no more. He turned to leave but then paused.

“By the way, how much do you know about the Soul Hall? Do you know that the Soul Hall is the most terrifying and powerful dark force on the surface of the Douqi Continent, created single-handedly by the Soul Clan, one of the Eight Ancient Clans, as their claws in the outside world?

It uses the plundering of Souls as its core method, and its influence spans the entire continent.

The Earth-Grade Protector you’ve been in contact with, Protector Wu, belongs to the Soul Hall’s grassroots execution level. The Soul Hall possesses four Dou Shengs, multiple Ban Shengs, and a massive number of Dou Zuns and Dou Zongs.

How do you dare to cooperate with them?”

Upon hearing this, Yun Shan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He jerked his head up, the color instantly draining from his face, leaving only extreme horror and disbelief.

He opened his mouth, but his throat felt as if it were blocked by something, unable to make a sound. Only his eyes, wide with fear, stared fixedly at Yu Xian, as if trying to see through him from the inside out.

Dou Sheng? Ban Sheng? Dou Zun? What kind of strength was that?

He had been trapped at the Peak of a Nine-Star Dou Huang, stuck at the Bottleneck for decades, unable to Breakthrough to Dou Zong.

He had always thought that although the Soul Hall acted mysteriously and sinfully with great influence, it was ultimately just a sinister organization hidden in the shadows. He had never imagined it actually involved such terrifying existences behind it!
