A strange disturbance occurred in the heavens, and Yun Yun volunteered.
Inside the council hall of the Nishen Hall, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
Su Chen sat in the main seat, his expression cold. Zhu Zhuqing stood below, reporting the intelligence she had just received.
"Hall Master, according to the reconnaissance from the Shadow Pavilion, the Heaven Dou Empire's Emperor, Xue Beng, has secretly allied with the Elder Palace of the Spirit Hall. They have mobilized an army of one hundred thousand and are stationed at the border of the Star Dou Great Forest. It looks like they intend to take action against our Nishen Hall."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice clearly reached everyone's ears, and The women in the council hall all frowned.
As one of the Two Great Empires of the Douluo Continent, the Heaven Dou Empire possessed formidable strength, and an army of one hundred thousand was a force not to be underestimated. Coupled with the support of the Spirit Hall, this was undoubtedly a huge threat to the newly established Nishen Hall.
"That fellow Xue Beng is truly overestimating himself," Xiao Wu snorted coldly and said. "Does he think that by allying with the Spirit Hall, he can deal with our Nishen Hall? That is simply a pipe dream."
Ning Rongrong also nodded and said, "Although the Heaven Dou Empire's army is large in number, most of them are ordinary soldiers, and the number of Spirit Masters is very small. As long as we take action, we can quickly defeat them."
The women all chimed in, each full of fighting spirit. They were full of confidence in Su Chen's strength, and also had sufficient confidence in their own abilities.
Su Chen tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his gaze sweeping over The women, and finally landing on Yun Yun.
Yun Yun stood at the end of the line, her brows tightly locked, seemingly deep in thought. Since joining the Nishen Hall, Yun Yun had been somewhat reticent; perhaps it was because of the destruction of the Cloud Mist Sect that she always had a hurdle in her heart.
"Yun Yun, what are your thoughts?" Su Chen asked softly.
Yun Yun raised her head, looked at Su Chen, and said with a firm gaze, "Hall Master, although the Heaven Dou Empire's army of one hundred thousand seems powerful, it is actually a loose sand. Xue Beng is cowardly and indecisive by nature; he is simply not a qualified commander. The Elder Palace of the Spirit Hall only wants to use the Heaven Dou Empire's strength to consume our Nishen Hall's power, and they will not truly help."
Su Chen nodded; Yun Yun's analysis coincided with his own thoughts.
"Then in your opinion, how should we respond?" Su Chen asked.
Yun Yun took a deep breath, stepped forward, clasped her hands, and said, "Hall Master, I am willing to lead a vanguard army to meet the Heaven Dou Empire's army in battle. I was once the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect; I have experience in leading troops in battle."
Su Chen looked at the determination in Yun Yun's eyes, and his heart stirred slightly. He knew that Yun Yun wanted to prove herself, and also wanted to let go of the burdens of the past.
"Yun Yun, are you sure?" Su Chen asked. "The Heaven Dou Empire's army is not so easy to deal with."
Yun Yun nodded and said, "I am sure. Hall Master, I know that I haven't been in the Nishen Hall for long, and you might not trust me enough yet. But I guarantee you that I will definitely win this battle and achieve merit for the Nishen Hall."
Su Chen smiled and said, "I have never distrusted you. Since you have volunteered, I will give you this opportunity. I will assign you five thousand guards, and have Xiao Xun Er assist you. Xiao Xun Er's Exotic Fire power has infinite might, which is just right to counter the Heaven Dou Empire's army."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun Er stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sister Yun Yun, rest assured, I will assist you well."
Yun Yun looked at Xiao Xun Er gratefully and said, "Thank you, Xun'er."
Su Chen continued, "Yun Yun, remember, our goal is not to crush the Heaven Dou Empire's army, but to subdue them. Although Xue Beng is cowardly, the common people of the Heaven Dou Empire are innocent. Try to minimize casualties, understand?"
"Understood!" Yun Yun said solemnly.
Su Chen nodded and said, "Good, go and prepare. In three days, set out to face the Heaven Dou Empire's army."
"Yes!" Yun Yun and Xiao Xun Er responded in unison and turned to leave.
The women in the council hall watched their backs and began to discuss among themselves.
"Sister Yun Yun should be able to let go of her past burdens this time," Xiao Wu said softly.
Ning Rongrong nodded and said, "I hope she can fight a beautiful, victorious battle to prove her strength."
Su Chen looked at The women and said, "Yun Yun is a capable person, she just needs an opportunity. This battle against the Heaven Dou Empire's army is her opportunity."
The women nodded, expressing their agreement.
After the meeting ended, Su Chen went to the back mountain of the Nishen Hall alone.
The scenery on the back mountain was beautiful, with green mountains and clear waters, birds singing and flowers fragrant. Yun Yun was standing on a giant rock, looking at the distant sky, her eyes somewhat lost.
Su Chen slowly walked to Yun Yun's side and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"
Yun Yun was startled. Turning around and seeing it was Su Chen, she quickly said, "Hall Master, I..."
Su Chen waved his hand and said, "No need to be so formal. There is no Hall Master here, only Su Chen."
Yun Yun nodded, her eyes becoming lost again, and said, "I was thinking about the Cloud Mist Sect. If I hadn't been so stubborn back then, perhaps the Cloud Mist Sect wouldn't have been destroyed."
Su Chen looked at the self-reproach in Yun Yun's eyes and sighed slightly in his heart. He knew that the destruction of the Cloud Mist Sect had been a huge blow to Yun Yun.
"Yun Yun, let the past be the past," Su Chen said softly. "The destruction of the Cloud Mist Sect was not your fault. The ambition of the Spirit Hall is not something you could have stopped. You have now joined the Nishen Hall, and this is your new home. Together, we will overthrow the Spirit Hall's rule and avenge the Cloud Mist Sect."
Looking at Su Chen's sincere eyes, a warm current surged in Yun Yun's heart, and her eyes reddened slightly. She had always thought that Su Chen took her in only because he valued her strength. She hadn't expected Su Chen to care about her so much.
"Hall Master..." Yun Yun's voice was slightly choked.
Su Chen reached out, gently took Yun Yun's hand, and said gently, "I said, you don't need to call me Hall Master; just call me Su Chen. You are not fighting alone; the Nishen Hall is your backing, and I am also your backing."
Feeling the warmth in her palm and looking at Su Chen's gentle gaze, the hurdle in her heart seemed to be slowly dissipating. She nodded and said softly, "Su Chen."
Su Chen smiled and said, "That's more like it."
Just then, a brilliant white light suddenly erupted from Yun Yun's body. Wind Wings unfolded from her back, and black God-Defying Soul Power faintly coiled around the wings.
"This is..." Yun Yun felt the surging power within her, and a trace of pleasant surprise flashed in her eyes.
Su Chen looked at the Wind Wings behind Yun Yun and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "This is the power of the nishen concord seal; it can stimulate the potential within you. Now your Wind Wings have evolved into God-Defying Wind Wings, and your strength has increased by more than several times compared to before."
Yun Yun looked at the God-Defying Wind Wings behind her. As she gently flapped her wings, a powerful wind force spread out, blowing the surrounding leaves until they rustled.
"Thank you, Su Chen." Yun Yun's voice was filled with gratitude.
Su Chen smiled and said, "No need to thank me; this is the result of your own hard work. In three days, perform well and let the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall see the prowess of our Nishen Hall."
Yun Yun nodded, her gaze becoming incomparably firm, and said, "I will not let you down."
Meanwhile, inside the Heaven Dou Empire's military camp.
Xue Beng sat in the commander's tent, looking at the generals below with a gloomy expression.
"Generals, Su Chen of the Nishen Hall is arrogant and domineering, causing chaos on the continent. This time, we must unite with the Spirit Hall to completely eradicate the Nishen Hall and return peace to the Douluo Continent." Xue Beng's voice was filled with majesty.
The generals below chimed in, each patting their chests to guarantee that they would definitely win this battle.
But only Xue Beng himself knew that his heart was full of fear. Su Chen's strength was too powerful; he had absolutely no confidence in winning this battle.
"Your Majesty, an envoy from the Spirit Hall has arrived." A soldier walked in and said respectfully.
Xue Beng's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Invite them in quickly!"
An envoy from the Spirit Hall wearing a white robe walked in with an arrogant smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty, the Elder Palace has instructed me to convey to you that this time, in dealing with the Nishen Hall, the Spirit Hall will send two Titled Douluo to assist. However, your Heaven Dou Empire's army must lead the vanguard."
Xue Beng was secretly delighted; with two Titled Douluo assisting, there was hope for this battle.
"Many thanks to the Spirit Hall! Many thanks to the Elder Palace!" Xue Beng said quickly, his tone filled with gratitude.
The Spirit Hall envoy sneered and said, "Your Majesty, I hope you will not disappoint us. Otherwise, the wrath of the Spirit Hall is not something you can withstand."
Xue Beng quickly nodded and said, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."
The Spirit Hall envoy nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave.
Xue Beng watched the envoy's back, a trace of sinister intent flashing in his eyes. Once the Nishen Hall was eradicated, he would definitely break free from the Spirit Hall's control and become the true Heaven Dou Emperor.
But he did not know that all of this was within Su Chen's control.
Three days later, Yun Yun and Xiao Xun Er led five thousand guards and set out on their journey to meet the Heaven Dou Empire's army in battle.
A great battle was about to break out.
