Yao Lao's soul was hidden within the ring on Xiao Yan's hand. He restrained all his soul power to avoid drawing Gu Fei's attention. However, even within the ring, Yao Lao felt the vast soul power of Gu Fei earlier, leaving him utterly shocked.
After the black energy was completely burned away, the previously chaotic and frenzied Yun Shan finally calmed down, and his consciousness gradually returned to clarity.
Seeing this, Yun Yun's face lit up with joy. While Yun Shan's recovery delighted her, she was even more grateful that Gu Fei had chosen to help her.
"Thank you, senior, for your assistance. Yun Shan will never forget your great kindness!" Now fully conscious, Yun Shan expressed his gratitude to Gu Fei. He hadn't expected that his cooperation with the Soul Hall would nearly bring him to such a disastrous end.
Many elders of the Misty Cloud Sect also began thanking Gu Fei, but he couldn't be bothered to acknowledge them.
Meanwhile, the injured Gu He, who had been struck by Yun Shan, was almost entirely ignored. Only his direct disciple, Liu Ling, came over to support him.
"Yun'er, I have wronged you!"
After thanking Gu Fei, Yun Shan immediately turned to Yun Yun and apologized, his attitude extremely sincere, even bordering on humble.
Yun Yun, however, remained indifferent. She had already done everything she could for her master and the Misty Cloud Sect. At this moment, she no longer felt much attachment to either.
"Master, now that you have returned, I will completely step down as the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect... The world is so vast, and I wish to explore it!"
Yun Yun directly expressed her intentions. She had already made up her mind: from now on, she would live for herself, not for the Misty Cloud Sect.
Yun Shan's face was filled with regret upon hearing this. He could hear the coldness in Yun Yun's voice and knew that his past mistakes had left her heartbroken. He didn't have the face to ask her to stay.
"Very well," Yun Shan said with his head bowed.
"Master, are you really leaving?"
Nalan Yanran looked at Yun Yun.
Yun Yun met her gaze, her eyes firm, and she nodded solemnly.
"The Dou Qi Continent is so vast. I've long wanted to venture out and train. Master, I'll go with you..."
If Yun Yun left, there would be little reason for Nalan Yanran to stay at the Misty Cloud Sect. Moreover, after losing the three-year challenge, she was eager to grow stronger. Leaving the Jia Ma Empire might be the shortcut she needed.
In just one day, both the Sect Leader and the future Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect decided to leave, leaving the sect's members reluctant to see them go.
"Is she really leaving?"
"The Misty Cloud Sect has lost a great leader."
Jia Xing Tian, who knew Yun Yun well, sighed in regret.
"I heard that this senior had recently visited your Jia Ma royal family. You aren't planning anything suspicious, are you?" Hai Bodong asked, implying something.
Jia Xing Tian smiled mysteriously without giving a direct answer. This left Hai Bodong anxious, secretly deciding to investigate the relationship between Gu Fei and the Jia Ma royal
family.
With everything settled, Gu Fei looked at Cai Lin beside him.
"Let's go back. Rest for the night, and we'll head to the Snake-People Tribe tomorrow!"
Cai Lin had quietly witnessed everything. However, she remained silent, standing behind Gu
Fei.
She knew about Yun Yun's relationship with Gu Fei and didn't want to make things difficult
for him.
"Let's go!" she smiled slightly.
With that, Gu Fei and his group left the Misty Cloud Sect. Queen Medusa was somewhat excited, knowing they would soon prepare for the tribe's migration, fulfilling a long-held
dream.
At the Misty Cloud Sect, the crowd dispersed, but Xiao Yan stayed hidden among them, not showing himself.
He had begun to suspect something about his father's disappearance. The entire Misty Cloud Sect had been tainted by the so-called Hall of Souls.
If it wasn't the Misty Cloud Sect behind it, then it could only be them. But why would the Hall
of Souls do such a thing?
Xiao Yan didn't know. He still had more to investigate.
After today, all the powers would know that the Misty Cloud Sect would be much more restrained in its actions within the Jia Ma Empire.
At the very least, if Yun Shan wanted to strengthen the sect, he would have to direct his aggression elsewhere.
(TL/n: This doesn't make sense. Even though they lost one Dou Emperor, Yun Yun, they still gained a Dou Ancestor and many Dou Emperors from this. If anything Misty Cloud Sect is
stronger as ever.)
