188: Chapter 188 The Women: This is truly a path to death.

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, countless floating rocks around Yun Lan Mountain were frozen and shattered.

For a moment, dust and smoke rose everywhere, obscuring the view inside. However, experts at the Dou Wang level could still sense the massive fluctuations in the world's energy.

Yan Luotian immediately withdrew the energy barrier, attempting to tear through space to save the situation, only to find that the spatial walls had been reinforced.

"Yun Shan!" Yan Luotian roared with a grim expression. "Do you intend to start a fight to the death with my Golden Goose Sect?"

"Heh." Yun Shan let out a soft, mocking laugh. "Did you forget? Before this match began, both sides agreed it would be to the death. Did you think this Sect Leader joined forces with you to establish the barrier just for fun?"

Yan Luotian was momentarily speechless, but killing intent seethed within his heart.

He had originally come with "good intentions," but now he planned to cooperate with the Mu Lan Empire and the Izumo Empire to destroy the Cloud Mist Sect first.

"Good, very good." Yan Luotian could only leave behind a harsh threat. "Yun Shan, do not regret this."

Yun Shan smiled faintly, showing no sign of regret whatsoever.

By now, the scene within the barrier became clear.

A suspended rock a hundred zhang wide was half-shattered, while the remaining half was frozen in ice. In the center lay a figure with a severed arm. He was in a miserable state, his clothes in tatters, gasping heavily for breath.

It was Yan Tiange. He had not perished yet. At the final moment, he had severed his own arm to break free from the restraint, using his blood to reactivate the Nine Wings of the Heavenly Goose secret technique to dodge the core attack range of Gu Han's Dou Technique.

But even though he was only caught in the aftershock, his current condition was terrible, and the Dou Qi in his body was completely exhausted.

If not for the wings on his back being a Flying Dou Technique, he wouldn't even be able to stay airborne.

"Whew!"

Seeing that Yan Tiange was not dead, Yan Luotian felt a slight sense of relief.

A crippled Dou Huang was still a Dou Huang. As long as his plan went smoothly, the Golden Goose Sect's strength would increase rather than decrease.

"Yun Shan, since my sect's Great Elder is not dead, I suggest this match ends here," Yan Luotian immediately spoke up. "This Sect Leader is willing to offer the Nine Wings of the Heavenly Goose as an apology."

"My Golden Goose Sect and the Cloud Mist Sect were once considered to be of the same origin."

"Today is your Dou Zong Grand Ceremony. Why must there be bloodshed?"

"Furthermore, I have a suggestion that can add double happiness to this occasion."

Saying this, Yan Luotian's gaze swept over and landed on Yun Yun. He smiled and said, "I can marry Yun Yun with a grand gift. At that time, the Cloud Mist Sect and the Golden Goose Sect will be related by marriage and can help each other in the same boat."

Hearing this, Yun Shan, who originally thought there was a profit to be made and was about to ask for Gu Han's opinion, simply closed his eyes.

Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and Colorful Glass, who were attending the ceremony, all had strange looks in their eyes at this moment.

If Yan Tiange originally had a ten percent chance of survival, now he had none at all.

"Yan Luotian, you are mistaken."

Gu Han's voice echoed between heaven and earth. For a moment, no one knew where it came from, but everyone could feel a coldness devoid of any emotion that chilled them to the bone.

"Your sect's Great Elder has already fallen."

Hmm?

Yan Luotian was stunned.

In the next instant, Yan Tiange suddenly let out a pained scream: "Ah, ahhh!"

Yan Luotian turned to look and found black and white flames continuously surging from within him, burning his body into nothingness.

In that Dou Technique move just now, Gu Han had also attached a spiritual attack using the Yin Yang Twin Flames.

On the surface, Yan Tiange had dodged the fatal blow, but in reality, he was already doomed.

After a few short breaths, a high-level Dou Huang, the Great Elder of the Golden Goose Sect, turned into nothingness under the witness of countless Jia Ma Empire experts.

"Good, very good indeed."

Yan Luotian hadn't expected that after all the twists and turns, Yan Tiange would still die.

Gu Han wasn't just refusing to give him face; he was grinding his face into the dirt.

Since this had happened, he certainly couldn't openly ask for Yun Yun's hand in marriage or use a union to facilitate an alliance between the two sects.

"Yun Shan, this Sect Leader will remember this. We have a long time ahead of us."

Leaving behind a final threat, Yan Luotian prepared to leave with Yan Tianxing, the Supreme Elder of the Luo Yan Empire's royal family.

He had intended to use the guise of congratulations to coerce and entice Yun Shan into marrying Yun Yun to him. He could have won the beauty while facilitating cooperation between the Luo Yan Empire and the Jia Ma Empire, first annexing the Mu Lan Empire and then dealing with the Izumo Empire.

After dividing the four great empires into two, he would then go to the Snake-People Clan to coerce and entice Queen Medusa into becoming his woman.

But he truly hadn't expected a problem to arise at the very first step.

Now was not the time to linger in this dangerous place.

"Hmm!?"

Yan Luotian led Yan Tianxing away, but after flying only a few hundred zhang, they sensed a spatial barrier.

"Spatial Lock!?"

Yan Luotian swung his hand violently. After a spatial crack expanded to a certain point, it seemed to hit a limit and could no longer spread.

Yan Luotian's face instantly turned very ugly as he turned to look at Yun Shan. "Yun Shan, what is the meaning of this!?"

"It means nothing."

"With just you, a newly advanced Dou Zong? Although I don't know what method you used to temporarily lock space, thinking you can keep this Sect Leader here is wishful thinking." Yan Luotian's tone was grim. "Do you want my Golden Goose Sect and the Luo Yan Empire to go to full-scale war with your Cloud Mist Sect?"

"The Izumo Empire and the Jia Ma Empire are mortal enemies. You killed the Great Elder of the Myriad Scorpion Gate back then."

"Recently, the relationship between your Cloud Mist Sect and Mulan Valley has also deteriorated sharply. Are you not afraid of being attacked by everyone?"

"Afraid? This Sect Leader is very afraid." Yun Shan raised a hand, mobilizing the Dou Qi and sword intent within his body. "Precisely because of that, since you delivered yourself to our doorstep today, I must keep you here."

"Once you, Yan Tiange, and Yan Tianxing are all dead, even if your three great empires unite, our sect and the Jia Ma Empire will not be afraid!"

As he spoke, Yun Shan's aura became sharper and sharper, like a longsword about to be unsheathed, proving he wasn't just talking.

"Courting death!" Yan Luotian was not one for a good temper and immediately activated his Dou Qi wings.

Sizzle.

Space was torn open with a huge rift. With a few flickers of his figure, Yan Luotian arrived within ten zhang of Yun Shan, a sharp golden edge bringing a storm that swept out.

Boom!

Before Yan Luotian could complete his move, a seven-colored light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Yan Luotian's figure retreated a hundred zhang, his eyes becoming very solemn. "Queen Medusa, you intend to interfere?"

"Gu Han said that you are to be kept here today." Colorful Glass stood with one hand on her hip, a red longsword appearing in her hand as her aura surged.

"Doing this will bring a great disaster upon the Snake-People Clan!" Yan Luotian warned.

"With just you?" A sneer sounded from behind him, causing Yan Luotian's pupils to shrink.

In the next instant, an arrow pierced through his body.

Swish!

The body disappeared; it was actually an afterimage.

With his Dou Qi-enhanced wings pushed to the limit, Yan Luotian successfully dodged the attack from behind.

"Queen Medusa?"

"No, you are not her!"
