90: Chapter 90 Yun Yun: I am the Sect Master!

"Idiot, look at your neck, your wrists, and your chest."

Mu Chen could hardly bear to look at his foolish son, whose head was filled only with fighting and Ya Fei, but he still suppressed his temper to offer a reminder.

"What's wrong with these places?" Mu Zhan lowered his head to inspect himself, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

Without him noticing, at the center of his collarbone below his neck, on his left collar, in front of his chest, and on both his left and right wrists, there were snowflakes.

Within these snowflakes, he sensed a trace of dissipating Dou Qi. Clearly, these were no ordinary snowflakes, but sword qi condensed from Dou Qi after Gu Han performed a Dou Technique.

These snowflakes could penetrate his Dou Qi Gauze Armor and appear at several of his vital points without him noticing, which was equivalent to being able to take his life directly.

If he had been in a life-and-death battle with Gu Han, he would already be a corpse by now.

"How is that possible!?" Mu Zhan's face was full of disbelief.

Gu Han had performed a Dou Technique with such ease and settled him with overwhelming force; just how strong was his true power?

He was the son of a Dou Wang and a four-star Dou Master, yet he was crushed by someone younger than him who had only just broken through to Dou Master.

"The facts are right before your eyes, what's impossible about it?" Mu Chen stood with his hands behind his back and said sternly, "Now you should understand what it means for there to be always someone better, and always a higher mountain."

"I do understand now." A bitterness rose in Mu Zhan's mouth. He suddenly felt that his previous behavior of mocking Xiao Yan was low-class and childish, leaving him with a sense of hollow dullness.

But he quickly adjusted his state of mind, his eyes becoming firm, and said in a serious tone, "Father, I will head to the border battlefield tonight for training. I will not return home until I reach the Dou Ling level."

Mu Chen had only asked Mu Zhan to return to the Imperial Capital after breaking through to Great Dou Master, but he had taken the initiative to demand reaching the Dou Ling level before coming home. It was clear that he was truly struck by Gu Han this time.

"Very good." Mu Chen nodded with gratification. He was suddenly very grateful to Gu Han for teaching Mu Zhan a lesson, making him finally understand the need for progress.

Meanwhile, near Yun Lan Mountain, on some rocks floating in mid-air or behind some clouds.

Jia Xingtian stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with amazement: "This boy has once again redefined this old man's understanding."

"He should be more than a one-star Dou Master," Fa Ma guessed.

"But when he fought Mu Zhan, he only used the strength of a one-star Dou Master and won with ease." Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes slightly: "I'm afraid the cultivation technique and Dou Technique he practices are both High-level Xuan Rank. He reminds me of an old friend."

"Hai Bodong?" Fa Ma clearly guessed who Jia Xingtian was talking about.

"That old fellow has been missing for over a decade. I wonder how he is doing now." Jia Xingtian's gaze was deep. Both Hai Bodong and Yun Shan used to have a good relationship with him.

If these two old fellows were still around, they should both be Peak Dou Huang by now.

An empire with three Peak Dou Huang would be stronger, not weaker, than the neighboring Mu Lan Empire.

"From what you're saying, you think he hasn't fallen yet?" A flash of surprise appeared in Fa Ma's eyes.

There had been no news of Hai Bodong for over ten years, and most people assumed he had fallen somewhere.

"Intuition." Jia Xingtian shook his head gently. "That old fellow won't fall so easily."

"I hope this Gu Han can become a second Hai Bodong or Yun Shan."

After saying this, the wings on Jia Xingtian's back flapped, and his figure disappeared into the clouds.

On the other side, in front of the Sect Grand Hall, Yun Yun withdrew her gaze and looked at Yun Ling: "Every word and action, every move he makes is to protect the Cloud Mist Sect and bring glory to it. Are you sure you still want to investigate him?"

"But Sect Leader, the cultivation technique and Dou Technique he possesses are both ice-attribute High-level Xuan Rank, which even our sect doesn't have. There's a problem here." Yun Ling argued his case with a serious expression.

"Yun Ling." Yun Yun's gaze became oppressive. "Don't think that just because you are the Grand Elder and Teacher told me to respect the opinions of the Elder Council before he went into seclusion, this Sect Leader will keep indulging you."

"This Sect Leader doesn't believe you are unaware that two ice-attribute Dou Huang from the Central Plains wanted to take Gu Han as a disciple."

"They were willing to give Gu Han cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques because they think highly of him. Could they possibly be plotting against the Cloud Mist Sect?"

"The fact that Gu Han hasn't left the Cloud Mist Sect precisely proves his loyalty to the sect."

"You'd better not covet the high-grade cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques on Gu Han. Otherwise, there's no need for those two Dou Huang to act; this Sect Leader will personally clean out the sect."

"Sect Leader!" Having his inner filth exposed, Yun Ling's expression became very ugly.

Although he wanted to seek benefits for himself, he did indeed consider the interests of the Cloud Mist Sect.

Since Gu Han had high-level cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques, he should bring them out to share with the sect.

"I heard that you bought an earth-attribute High-level Xuan Rank Dou Technique at an auction held by the Heavenly Serpent Mansion a year ago." Yun Yun's stunningly beautiful face carried an air of authority. "Why don't you set an example first and contribute it for everyone to share and study?"

Yun Ling: "..."

"Yun Ling, remember not to do anything unnecessary."

"I am the Sect Leader!"

Yun Ling: !!!

---

Gu Han could probably guess the impact of his easy defeat of Mu Zhan, but he didn't care.

On one hand, he had confidence in Yun Yun; on the other, he had confidence in the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm.

If the Cloud Mist Sect couldn't see things clearly, he would leave before even finishing his repayment.

If a few individuals couldn't see things clearly, he could just deal with them later.

For now, he only knew that with a slight effort, he had gained another ten thousand gold coins and a one-pattern green spirit pill.

Having harvested so many resources, he called Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran, Ya Fei, and the others to leave together, heading towards the residential area for Inner Sect Disciples on Yun Lan Mountain.

They arrived at an independent small courtyard closest to the inner sect Cultivation Hall, which would temporarily belong to him until he became a Core Disciple.

The environment here, the concentration of world energy, and the items inside and outside the house were all better than when he was in the Outer Academy.

"You'll live in this room from now on."

Gu Han arranged for Xiao Yi Xian to stay in one of the two main rooms in the primary courtyard, rather than letting her stay in the side rooms of the outer courtyard.

"Mm." Xiao Yi Xian smiled softly and nodded obediently.

"Everyone, please sit and have some tea."

Gu Han invited everyone to sit at a stone table in a pavilion in the outer courtyard. He took out tea-making tools from his storage ring and began to operate them skillfully.

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes held admiration, and the corners of her lips curled slightly. "Shouldn't this task be given to me, your handmaiden?"

"You are a sword-wielding one, not a personal handmaiden," Gu Han replied solemnly.

But this caused Nalan Yanran and the others to look at Xiao Yi Xian a few more times.

A personal handmaiden only needed to be obedient, have a specialized skill, be gentle and considerate, and have excellent appearance and temperament.

But a Sword-bearing maid often represented the master's face, and her cultivation level could not be weak.

Was this Xiao Yi Xian actually an expert?

But clearly, neither Gu Han nor Xiao Yi Xian would explain it to them.

"Brother Gu Han, thank you for resolving the situation this time." Xiao Yan picked up his teacup, his expression solemn.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you're too polite." Gu Han raised his hand slightly. "What I said just now wasn't just pleasantries. It's absolutely not okay to bully a guest of my Cloud Mist Sect within the Cloud Mist Sect. I was just doing what I should do."

"Moreover, we are friends."
