Chapter 328: Sprouting Like Shoots After the Rain
After leaving matters in Yun Yun's hands, Xiao Ze began to walk around the Yun Lan Sect, paying special attention to the places where resources were stored.
With the powerful influence of the Yun Lan Sect sweeping the surrounding empires, Xiao Ze did not believe they hadn't obtained great rewards.
"Xiao Ze, isn't the Yun Lan Sect supposed to be backed by the Soul Hall? I was ready to face the elders of the Soul Hall this time," Medusa said, lifting her long sword with some confusion.
"Maybe there's no need for the Soul Hall to stay here. War is their best way to collect spiritual bodies. It's very likely that the Soul Hall is at the forefront of the Yun Lan Sect's expansion," Xiao Ze replied after reflecting. Medusa nodded, understanding.
With the scale of the Yun Lan Sect's war expansion, the Soul Hall would need to deploy all their forces in the branches and wouldn't have personnel available to stay at the Yun Lan Sect headquarters.
"I imagine what has happened at the Yun Lan Sect headquarters has already spread."
Xiao Ze glanced outside the Yun Lan Sect, the fluctuation from their previous battle was enough to alert the powerful.
The capital of the Jia Ma Empire was not far from the Yun Lan Sect, and at this moment, the capital was likely raising a wave of resistance against the Yun Lan Sect personnel.
Xiao Ze felt the battle waves coming from that direction, it should be a battle between strong Dou Huangs.
"Yes, the Yun Lan Sect has committed too many injustices and is doomed. Yun Shan, with his barbaric expansion, should have foreseen this moment, where a single misstep would result in total loss," Medusa reflected, looking toward the capital.
Xiao Ze struck the storage room door with a palm, controlling his strength so precisely that the door pulverized without scattering.
Stepping over the door's remains, he entered a space filled with a strong aroma of medicinal herbs.
"The barbaric expansion of the Yun Lan Sect, they have looted so much!"
Xiao Ze looked at the treasure-filled warehouse and couldn't help but sigh. Looting indeed brings rewards!
With the number of alchemists in the Yun Lan Sect, they couldn't quickly consume all these treasures, which now benefited Xiao Ze.
The changes in the Yun Lan Sect did not go unnoticed by the powerful, and their previous actions made those who found out applaud.
At the Alchemist Association headquarters in the capital of the empire, Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Association, sparkled with his eyes, "The Yun Lan Sect is finally facing its deserved fate, attracting powers beyond their level!"
"These fluctuations... far exceed those of Dou Zong!"
Hearing Fa Ma, the powerful gathered at the alchemist headquarters were shocked, one of them, a Dou Wang, swallowed hard and said with difficulty.
"Are Dou Zun the ones who have intervened?"
Fa Ma nodded, "If my perception is correct, it really could be a Dou Zun who has intervened."
Those present showed reverence on their faces, the Dou Zun level was something they could only dream of.
Soon, their faces filled with joy, "I didn't expect the Yun Lan Sect to really provoke the intervention of a Dou Zun."
"Can we attack now and resolve the problem of the Yun Lan Sect members in the capital?"
"No rush, let's wait for the information from the spies," said Fa Ma, calming the excitement of those present.
Soon, a carrier pigeon entered through the window, landing on the table. Fa Ma quickly took the note.
"Outside the Yun Lan Sect, two powerful figures appeared... Where the seven-colored energy passed, the strong of the Yun Lan Sect died... Of the headquarters' guardians, less than ten percent survived."
Fa Ma quickly read the report and then struck the table with excitement.
"Attack!"
With Fa Ma's order, the powerful launched an attack on the hesitant Yun Lan Sect guardians in the capital.
Fa Ma stood up and looked out the window in the direction of the Yun Lan Sect.
"It's a pity, all the treasures and medicinal herbs the Yun Lan Sect looted from the alchemist headquarters..."
Murmured Fa Ma. With those two powerful Dou Zun still at the Yun Lan Sect, he wouldn't even dare approach to retrieve the treasures.
Who knows if those two Dou Zun would be interested in the treasures.
He didn't even know the nature of those powerful figures, approaching now would be a death sentence.
However, with the intervention of two Dou Zun, it was foreseeable that the Yun Lan Sect's control would collapse, and rebellions would sprout like shoots after the rain.
It would no longer be just the Alliance against the Yun Lan Sect active; others hiding would also rise.
...
Xiao Ze stored all the treasures of the Yun Lan Sect, greatly enriching his own supply. He wouldn't have to worry about ingredients for making pills.
High-level pill ingredients consume an unimaginable amount; a single high-level pill requires hundreds of ingredients, and although Xiao Ze had a large reserve, he couldn't afford such expenditure.
If he made a ninth-level pill, it would require thousands of ingredients...
When Xiao Ze and Medusa returned to the Yun Lan Sect's plaza, Yun Yun had already taken control.
She carried a long blue sword and her body was stained with blood, behind her were several fallen Yun Lan Sect disciples.
Seeing Yun Yun's results, Xiao Ze nodded. Yun Yun had some skills.
Seeing Xiao Ze and Medusa, Yun Yun relaxed her expression, looking enviously at Medusa.
She knew Medusa's identity, the queen of the Snake People Empire, with a feared reputation. Following Xiao Ze, her strength had increased to the Dou Zun level, a great opportunity.
"Finished?" Xiao Ze looked at those remaining, including the white-haired woman who had provided information earlier.
"Yes, although some might have escaped, it's hard to check everything in such a short time," Yun Yun nodded.
"Then take them out of the Yun Lan Sect. Although they haven't done evil things, they still have the Yun Lan Sect's identity."
"If all goes well, a wave will rise against the Yun Lan Sect, and then, all sect members will be targets of attack."
Yun Yun's face darkened, "I understand. With the Yun Lan Sect's terrible crimes, even having its identity makes them targets."
Xiao Ze stayed a bit longer in the sect, watching the disguised disciples descend the mountain.
"Finally, it's done," said Medusa softly.
"There's no choice. Within the Yun Lan Sect, there are some innocents. We can't kill them indiscriminately."
Xiao Ze shrugged and said to Medusa, "First, let's go back to the Snake People Temple, and then we'll head to the Black-Corner Region."
"Alright."
