Jia Ma Empire.

Yunlan Sect.

Zhu Chen followed the spatial passage opened up by Xiao Yan and quickly arrived at the back mountain of Yunlan Sect, which was surrounded by peaks.

He looked around and found himself standing on a quiet platform.

In the distance, a cluster of buildings could be vaguely seen, and occasionally disciples would fly by on their swords.

It presented itself as a well-organized sect.

Not far in front of him, a familiar figure stood with her back to him, leaning against the railing and gazing into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.

It was Yunyun.

At this moment, Yun Yun was still wearing her signature light blue dress, her long hair cascading down her back, and her figure slender.

But his back looked somewhat desolate, as if he had something on his mind.

Zhu Chen made no effort to conceal his presence; the soft sound of his footsteps landing immediately startled Yun Yun.

Yun Yun turned around abruptly, and when she saw who it was, she froze instantly.

"You...how did you get here?"

Yun Yun's voice trembled slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She never expected Zhu Chen to appear here at this time.

Zhu Chen smiled faintly, stepped forward, and looked at Yun Yun with tenderness, saying, "I came to Yunlan Sect this time to take you to my world..."

"Take me to your world?"

Yun Yun was taken aback at first, then a complicated expression appeared on her face.

Zhu Chen said frankly, "That's right. Compared to your world, which doesn't even have the origin of a Dou Di, my place is more suitable for you to cultivate. I didn't have the ability to take you there before, so I could only leave you here alone. But now I have the ability, and I will never let my woman be separated from me again."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun's eyes welled up slightly.

The fact that Zhu Chen could say such a thing proves that he still cares about himself.

This made her very happy.

Yun Yun opened her mouth, about to say something, but then suddenly swallowed it back, lowered her eyes, and remained silent.

Zhu Chen noticed her hesitation and asked softly, "What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind?"

Yun Yun looked up at Zhu Chen, her eyes filled with struggle.

She didn't want to cause trouble for Zhu Chentian, but that matter...

It was indeed overwhelming her.

Just then, a clear female voice suddenly came from the side:
"If the teacher won't say it, I will..."

A young girl in a purple dress emerged from behind a pillar; it was Nalan Yanran.

She walked quickly to Zhu Chen, her face showing urgency: "Senior Zhu, you've come at the right time! Something has happened on the border of the Jia Ma Empire!"

Zhu Chen frowned slightly: "What is it? Tell me..."

Nalan Yanran glanced at Yun Yun, and seeing that she did not stop her, she spoke directly: "Recently, the border has been harassed by two forces. Although our forces in the Jia Ma Empire were integrated by you last time and are now very united, we are still somewhat powerless to face two forces at the same time."

Which two forces?

Zhu Chen looked at Nalan Yanran and continued to ask.

Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth: "One is the Snake-People tribe in the desert region, and the other is the neighboring Chuyun Empire. Both of those forces have Dou Zong level experts in charge, while our Jia Ma Empire currently only has two Dou Zong level experts. One is Ice Emperor Hai Bodong of the Mittel family, and the other is my teacher. They are harassing our Jia Ma Empire from two different places. My teacher and Ice Emperor Hai Bodong can only act separately and cannot form a joint attack, which is why this war has been deadlocked for several months..."

Snake-people?
The Izumo Empire?

Zhu Chen frowned slightly.

He was certainly aware of both of these forces.

But the problem is.

Do either of these forces currently have a Dou Zong level expert?

Queen Medusa of the Snake-People race did not receive the nourishment of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, so it is estimated that she would not be able to break through to the Dou Zong level on her own.

The Dou Zong of the Izumo Empire should be Little Fairy Doctor. She probably doesn't yet possess the cultivation level of a Dou Zong.

Unless her calamity-inducing poison body awakens prematurely, leading to a rapid advancement in her cultivation.

"Forget it, whatever the reason, it's just a mere Dou Zong, not worth my time..."

Zhu Chen shook his head, trying to clear his mind of all the random information.

His cultivation level has now reached the level of a sect leader, and he is even a peak-level sect leader.

The Dou Zong level experts in the Doupo world can be easily killed; they are not worth worrying about at all.

He doesn't need to worry about these things at all.

At this moment, Nalan Yanran continued, "Senior Zhu, my teacher didn't want to trouble you, so she kept this matter from you. But this time we really can't hold on any longer. The Jia Ma Empire has already lost three cities on its border. If this continues, the entire Jia Ma Empire might..."

"Yanran, stop talking..."

Yun Yun interrupted Nalan Yanran directly, saying, "Zhu Chen has his own things to do, we..."

"What could be more important than your business?"

Zhu Chen interrupted her.

He stepped forward and took Yun Yun's hand directly.

Yun Yun slowly raised her head and looked into Zhu Chen's determined eyes. The tension in her heart finally eased a little.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Zhu Chen asked softly.

Yun Yun lowered her eyes and said softly, "I don't want you to think... I'm a nuisance."

Zhu Chen was taken aback upon hearing this: "Silly girl, you're my woman, how could you be a nuisance?"

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed at the void outside the Yunlan Sect.

next second.

The previously empty space suddenly exploded.

A figure was forcibly dragged by an invisible force and instantly flew in front of Zhu Chen.

This person was none other than Ling Ying, the strongest Dou Huang of the ancient clan who had been following Xiao Xun'er.

However, Ling Ying was no longer a Dou Huang, but a Dou Zong at this time.

When Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran saw Ling Ying, they immediately showed expressions of disbelief.

They never dreamed that there would be someone lying in wait here within the Yunlan Sect.

Yet, not a single person in their entire clan could detect the other's presence.

Thankfully, this person meant no harm.

Otherwise, their Yunlan Sect would probably have been gone long ago.

"Greetings, Lord Zhu Chen..."

Ling Ying had seen Zhu Chen at the Yunlan Sect before, so she recognized him at a glance. She immediately knelt down on one knee and respectfully clasped her hands in greeting.

Zhu Chen looked at Ling Ying expressionlessly: "You're the person Xiao Yan placed in the Yunlan Sect?"

Ling Ying kept her head down: "Yes, I have been entrusted by Lord Xiao Yan to secretly protect the Yunlan Sect here."

Zhu Chen said calmly, "Since you are secretly protecting the Yunlan Sect, why don't you lend a hand now that the Jia Ma Empire is facing war?"

Ling Ying paused for a moment and said, "My orders are to secretly protect the Yunlan Sect and Sect Master Yunyun. As long as the Yunlan Sect and Sect Master Yunyun are safe, I cannot act rashly..."

Zhu Chen was stunned upon hearing this.

Oh shit.

Is Ling Ying still so stubborn?
They are inflexible in their approach to things.

No wonder they couldn't get resources from the ancient tribes.

At such an advanced age, he can only become the strongest Dou Huang in an ancient clan where Dou Zong is everywhere and Dou Zun is as common as dogs!
