Whether it's the Soul Palace trying to conceal its true nature or Yunshan wanting to develop the Yunlan Sect peacefully, both require a process of accumulation and change.

In the original timeline, if it weren't for Xiao Yanzi's visit to the Yunlan Sect, he would have had to hide for a long time.

"what happened?"

Yun Yun's beautiful eyes were fixed on Zhang Yuan, and she immediately noticed the change in his expression.

"I feel something's not right about this situation." Zhang Yuan didn't hide anything and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Why do you say that?" Yun Yun asked somewhat flustered.

After realizing that there was a problem in Yunshan, she was in a state of utter confusion and was far from her usual calm and composed self.

Hearing Zhang Yuan say that something was wrong, he naturally became even more nervous.

Jia Xingtian and the others also turned their heads, their eyes solemn.

Zhang Yuan tapped on the table next to him and asked, "If you were Yunshan, would you have laid your cards on the table so quickly and acted so aggressively?"

Yun Yun thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, the teacher should understand my personality, and I understand the teacher too."

“Indeed, as master and disciple, you understand each other’s personality and style of doing things very well.” Zhang Yuan calmly analyzed: “Sister Yun, you have been taught by Senior Yunshan since childhood and are a conservative in the Yunlan Sect.”

"Senior Yunshan suddenly emerged from seclusion, and the very first thing he did was ask you to change the Yunlan Sect's future development strategy. Isn't this clearly telling you that he has a problem?"

"If he does this, not only will you cooperate with him immediately, but you might also become an obstacle to his command of the Yunlan Sect's development."

"As for his successful breakthrough to the Dou Zong level, the increase in strength has led to an expansion of his ambition, which is not inexplicable, but it is unlikely that such a drastic change would occur all at once."

"Suppose he was an ambitious person to begin with, and now that he has become stronger, his true nature has been revealed, but he is still a smart man who knows when it is most advantageous to act."

"Having successfully broken through to the Dou Zong realm and colluded with the Soul Palace, he could have first improved the strength of the Yunlan Sect's elders and disciples, and slowly guided the conservative faction to change, thus avoiding internal resistance."

"At the same time, we should secretly recruit and win over the major families, military forces and city lords in the empire to achieve a quick and stable coup, preferably with the royal family of the Gama Empire directly submitting to us."

"Because the Yunlan Sect has to face not only the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire, but also the surrounding Luoyan Empire, Chuyun Empire and Mulan Empire, as well as the Snake People and other forces."

"But now, he's chosen the most reckless way. Don't you think something's wrong?"

Zhang Yuan's statement was not only an analysis, but also Yunshan's approach in the original trajectory.

Whether he was inherently ambitious but pretended to be, or his soul was influenced by the Soul Palace and he became an ambitious man, he initially hid behind the scenes, directing Yunling to manage various parts of the Jia Ma Empire in the open, while also influencing Yunyun, using appeasement to win over Guhe and the Nalan family.

After his battle with Xiao Yanzi, he finally dropped all pretense and chose to use a quick and easy approach, getting the people from the Soul Palace to help the disciples and elders of the Yunlan Sect improve their strength rapidly.

Less than a year after the Yunlan Sect was destroyed, the three surrounding empires joined forces to attack. Although the Soul Palace Protector was instigating Little Fairy Doctor behind the scenes, they all had the intention of taking advantage of the chaos.

Therefore, whether analyzed from the perspective of personality or interests, Yunshan should not have directly confronted Yunyun and acted so aggressively.

“Something is definitely not right.” Jia Xingtian lowered his head slightly and said, “Our royal family is ultimately the legitimate successor of the empire. Putting aside the Nalan family, the Mittel and Mu families definitely support the royal family. In addition, the armies commanded by the various border fighting kings are also direct descendants of the royal family, a force that cannot be ignored.”

"As soon as Yunshan emerged from seclusion, he revealed his ambition to Yunyun. Even if he wasn't afraid that Sect Master Yunyun would suspect him, wasn't he afraid that my royal family would get the news in advance and the two sides would fall into internal strife prematurely?"

"If he really wanted to expand outwards, he certainly wouldn't have made such a stupid decision."

Nalan Jie: "."

Why do you say that my Nalan family is like traitors?

"Then why do you think the teacher is behaving so strangely?" Yun Yun looked at Zhang Yuan with pleading eyes.

She knew very well that the Yunlan Sect was not facing the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire, or even the surrounding empires, but Zhang Yuan.

If we are not careful, Yunlan Sect and Yunshan may be completely wiped out.

She is in a state of utter confusion and unable to think calmly.

"Two possibilities."

Zhang Yuan paused his tapping fingers, and said in a calm tone, "The first possibility is that Yun Shan broke through to the Dou Zong realm and became too arrogant, completely disregarding you as his disciple and the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire."

“That’s definitely not the reason,” Yun Yun immediately shook her head.

Jia Xingtian and the others also felt that this was not the reason.

They could understand the arrogance that comes with breaking through to the Dou Zong realm; they would have done the same.

But becoming stronger doesn't mean losing your former wisdom, and becoming bigger doesn't mean losing your former vision and isolation.

A Dou Zong is indeed stronger than a Dou Huang, and there is a significant improvement in level, but he is not invincible.

If a Dou Zong (a high-ranking official) could truly be so absolute, the neighboring Izumo Empire would have already swallowed up several surrounding empires.

It should be noted that Xie Biyan, a Dou Zong in the Izumo Empire, was already a Dou Zong, but the royal family still held the power and had never been able to conquer the surrounding empires.

Now that Yan Luotian of the Luoyan Empire has successfully broken through to the Dou Zong level, and the three elders of the Mulan Empire have always been able to directly confront Xie Biyan, what is Yunshan who has just broken through to the Dou Zong level?

Therefore, he was definitely not acting recklessly without thinking.

“Then it’s the second possibility.” Zhang Yuan’s gaze sharpened as he said, “He now has absolute confidence and can face all problems and challenges head-on.”

As the saying goes, in the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are just paper tigers.

Yunshan broke through to the Dou Zong realm on his own, but if he wants to develop further, he still needs to seek stability.

But what if he has stronger Dou Zong support behind him, or even more than one or two?

As long as he has the strength to sweep through the Gama Empire and several surrounding empires, no matter how strange or arrogant he acts, no one can say anything.

"It seems the power the Soul Palace has mobilized this time is surprisingly large," Zhang Yuan said with a playful tone.

Aside from Nalan Yanran, no one present was stupid; they quickly understood Zhang Yuan's meaning.

"What exactly does the Soul Palace want to do?" Jia Xingtian's tone was filled with killing intent.

The Northwest Continent has always been looked down upon by other continents, especially the Central Continent, which doesn't even need to look down on the Northwest Continent, since one is ranked last and the other is recognized as number one.

The region where the Gama Empire is located is only a small corner of the southwestern part of the northwestern continent, and even smaller than a small place.

Why would the Soul Palace, a top-tier power in the Central Continent, extend its reach here?

Actually, Zhang Yuan also has a mysterious force behind him, but he acts in a very amiable manner.

"Who cares what they're supposed to do?" Zhang Yuan's smile faded, replaced by a chilling tone. "Just kill them all."

"The places I value will not be allowed to be touched by others, not even the Soul Palace!"

hiss!

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

This guy is quite domineering, and he even takes them out to play.

Nalan Yanran: "."

So handsome!

"In short, you go back first and find a way to get Yunshan to recognize the Nine Abyss Token as its master."

After some discussion, Zhang Yuan gave Yun Yun his final instructions: "Once I finish helping Medusa advance, I will go to the Yunlan Sect. It would be best if we could resolve Senior Yunshan's problem in advance. If we can't, don't worry, we can handle it with some tricks."

"Thank you!" Yun Yun said, deeply moved.

"No need to be polite." Zhang Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, "You'll need to give me a thank-you gift later."

Yun Yun felt a heat rise in her body, and her earlobes turned slightly red as she said, "You lecherous scoundrel, you're always thinking of bad things."

After speaking, Yun Yun transformed her fighting spirit into wings and quickly departed.

If someone insults you but doesn't refuse, that means they've agreed.

Zhang Yuan chuckled and began arranging other matters.

"Do you want to break through?" Zhang Yuan asked Yun Feng.

"Of course!" Yunfeng nodded immediately.

Who wouldn't want to become a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor)?

"Let's bind it by blood." Zhang Yuan tossed Yun Feng a Yellow-Rank Nine Abyss Token.

Given his talent and his relationship with Yun Yun, he could become a Yuanwei.

"Do you want to become a Dou Zong?" Zhang Yuan then looked at Jia Xingtian.

"..." Jia Xingtian's heart trembled.

Did you just casually ask that question?

"I'll give you a chance, but it will require consuming Source Points and Yellow-Rank Mission Points," Zhang Yuan said.

Although he was training his own subordinates, he wasn't going to do charity.

Unless they are his direct subordinates, since they would have to risk their lives for him.

“No problem!” Jia Xingtian immediately agreed.

Zhang Yuan was making various arrangements.

Three days later, he sensed an unusual fluctuation within the Void Realm.

"Did the Nether Sea Dragon Beast succeed?"

Zhang Yuan, who was being bathed in thunder outside, suddenly opened his eyes.

Instead of rushing into the Void Realm, he transformed his strange fire into wings and flew towards the Snake-People Clan.

"Medusa, don't let me down."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind having another pet snake."

Chapter 140 A High-Profile Appearance Among the Snake-People, the Queen Protects Her Husband with Domineering Power

?

Silver, fiery wings appeared behind Zhang Yuan, and he streaked through the air like a shooting star in broad daylight.

The lightning-attracting site he was looking for was located deep in the Tagor Desert, in a region filled with magnetic minerals, not far from the location of the Snake-People tribe's holy city.

A few dozen breaths later, he saw the outer perimeter of a huge fortress in the distance. As far as the eye could see, it was a super-large tribe that seemed to stretch endlessly, covering an area larger than the desert city and several border fortresses that Zhang Yuan had seen.

The outer fortress walls are over ten feet high, and on top of these walls are countless huge arrow towers, covered with arrows that look like spears, the tips of which gleam with a cold light and are covered with purple poison.

This is a formidable defense, so tight that even a regular Dou Wang could be pierced through and reduced to nothingness, let alone a Great Dou Master or Dou Ling.

"The Snake-People race is divided into eight tribes. Each tribe's leader is a Battle King. Above the leader are four elders, whose strength is at least at the peak of the Battle King level. Above the elders is Queen Medusa, whose personal guard commander is also a Battle King."
