12: Yunyun is my slave!
"Damn it, don't be so arrogant! Our Sect Master is unparalleled in the world, invincible!"
The Cloud Mist Sect Disciples all voiced their indignation for their Sect Master.
In this Jia Ma Empire, even if the imperial representative Jia Xingtian were to arrive, he would still show their Sect Master some respect. How can an outsider like you be so rude!
Jiang Luo ignored the cries of the ants below, his gaze fixed on Yun Yun the entire time. He wanted to see what other means she could bring out for her final move.
Yun Yun took a deep breath, her aura suddenly becoming condensed. She slowly raised her hand, lifting the long sword above her head.
Sunlight fell upon the sword, and in an instant, the long sword burst forth with dazzling brilliance. The blinding light was like a second sun suddenly rising in the sky, scorching so intensely that people could barely open their eyes.
"Your Excellency, let's decide the victor!"
Yun Yun's pretty face was slightly pale, her beautiful eyes staring straight at the tall and upright young man in front of her.
"Profound Rank high-grade Dou Technique, Limit of Wind - Sunset Radiance! This is the Sect Master's famous Dou Technique; even against a Peak Dou Huang expert, she has the power to fight!"
Xiao Yi Xian pouted, "Flashy but useless, not even as good as one of Master's fingers."
"The power is decent, but unfortunately, your strength is too weak to unleash the true might of this technique!" Jiang Luo smiled faintly.
The next moment, he took a step forward, quickly forming hand seals. A fiery Vermilion Bird figure quietly appeared before him.
On the surface of the Vermilion Bird, the terrifying high temperature was enough to vaporize everything, emitting a dreadful and heart-pounding aura.
"Limit of Wind - Sunset Radiance!"
Yun Yun let out a soft cry, her long sword poised to strike. A sharp Sword Qi swept down from the Nine Heavens, descending like a thunderous torrent, overwhelming Jiang Luo from all directions.
"Vermilion Bird Divine Seal!"
Caw!
As Jiang Luo stopped his hand seals, a clear cry that resounded through the heavens suddenly spread from within the Vermilion Bird. Violent flames, like a storm, swept out and filled the sky.
"Boom!"
The two energies collided with a bang, and a terrifying energy storm immediately erupted at the center of the explosion, causing the entire world to change color.
Under this might of heaven and earth, Yun Yun felt as insignificant as an ant, as humble as a blade of grass.
If possible, she fully believed that this strike could easily take her life.
Meanwhile, Jia Xingtian, hidden in the dark, his pupils suddenly constricted. As a Peak Dou Huang expert himself, facing this strike, he knew he couldn't contend with it, only cursing inwardly.
After the commotion subsided, the Cloud Mist Sect members saw that their Sect Master's full-power strike couldn't even shake the Vermilion Bird Divine Seal in the slightest!
"The Sect Master lost..."
The Cloud Mist Sect members felt as if the sky had fallen. Their Sect Master had lost, and lost completely.
"Three moves have passed, Sect Leader Yun, you lost."
Casually wiping away the Vermilion Bird Divine Seal, Jiang Luo stood as steady as Mount Tai. Compared to before he made his move, his demeanor was even more profound and unfathomable.
Across from him, Yun Yun's face was ashen.
Three moves had passed, and she hadn't touched a single corner of Jiang Luo's clothes. According to their agreement, she should resign from her position as Sect Master and become his slave.
"Your Excellency, I admit defeat. From now on, I will no longer serve as the Cloud Mist Sect Master. In the future, I will only bow and serve you!" Yun Yun took a deep breath and declared loudly in front of everyone.
"Sect Master, no, absolutely not!"
"You are the esteemed Sect Master, how can you serve tea and pour water for this fellow!"
"Think thrice!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Cloud Mist Sect immediately erupted into an uproar.
Including the Elders, all of them earnestly tried to persuade her.
If she really became this fellow's personal maid, their Cloud Mist Sect's reputation would be ruined!
Especially under the watchful eyes of many people in the Imperial Capital who were observing their battle.
"My decision is made, say no more!" Yun Yun's expression was resolute, carrying a hint of righteous defiance.
She had agreed first, how could she go back on her word!
"Sect Leader Yun is indeed a heroine among women, true to her word. This Emperor admires that." Jiang Luo also felt a sense of respect for Yun Yun's actions.
"However, even so, this Emperor will still avenge the Old Dog Yun Shan!"
"I hope next time, your Cloud Mist Sect doesn't disappoint me!"
Yun Yun's face seemed to have lost its last trace of color, and she could barely stand steadily.
Jiang Luo's action was tantamount to killing her spirit!
Almost everyone in the Cloud Mist Sect hated Jiang Luo, but they dared not speak out.
Even the Sect Master had been defeated by him, what means could they use to retaliate?
Even the Grand Elder had not yet woken up, which was adding insult to injury.
"Since you're a slave now, what should you call me?" Jiang Luo seemed to feel he hadn't stirred enough trouble, and immediately questioned Yun Yun.
"Ma... Master."
Yun Yun's cherry lips parted slightly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, her pretty face flushed with nervousness.
These two words floated down lightly, yet they exploded like a thunderclap in the ears of the Cloud Mist Sect members.
Those who had been tensed with anger just moments before were now frozen as if by ice, each stiff in place, their breathing even halted.
The Sect Master... actually called that person "Master"?
"A teachable child." Jiang Luo nodded in satisfaction.
What he wanted to do was to infuriate the Cloud Mist Sect members, and this was just the interest he was collecting.
As long as Yun Shan didn't come out, he wouldn't release Yun Yun!
Jia Xingtian, hidden in the dark, watched the scene before him with longing eyes, unable to tell if he was happy or sad.
Although Jiang Luo's appearance could weaken the Cloud Mist Sect's power for their Imperial Family, from his performance, it seemed the Cloud Mist Sect couldn't do anything to him. What was he to do?
At this moment, within the Imperial Capital, the gazes of various families were all focused on the Cloud Mist Sect. As the Jia Ma Empire's foremost Sect, Yun Yun's crushing defeat undoubtedly tugged at everyone's nerves.
Especially for the Imperial Family and the Three Great Families.
"It seems the sky of this Jia Ma Empire is about to change its surname to Jiang."
"The Cloud Mist Sect already overshadowed the Imperial Family, and now with Jiang Luo here, it seems the Imperial Family's days won't be easy."
"What a turbulent time..."
Every move Jiang Luo made affected the hearts of the entire Imperial Capital.
But Jiang Luo was unaware of all this; he only knew that he had acquired a personal maid.
"Let's go, Sect Leader Yun. Let's find somewhere else to talk. It's a bit too noisy here." Jiang Luo was annoyed by the surrounding clamor.
Yun Yun hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly glanced back at her Sect before following him.
As Jiang Luo and the others departed, the vast plaza fell into an empty silence.
Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
"Second Elder, a Sect cannot be without a master for a day. What do you think we should do?" Several Elders gathered in a circle, discussing countermeasures.
"First, fully treat the Grand Elder. Once the Grand Elder awakens, he can then make the decision." The Second Elder said with a deep voice, looking at the still unconscious Grand Elder.
"Master, where are we going now?" Xiao Yi Xian, beside Jiang Luo, asked somewhat excitedly.
Clearly, her Master's three-move agreement had left an indelible mark on her heart.
