After settling the trivial matters, Hun Tianchen left the Soul Realm with Xiao Yi Xian and the others.
As for Hun Miesheng, he was still the same as ever, acting as their bodyguard.
If the Young Clan Leader of the Hun Clan left the Soul Realm without a powerful bodyguard at his side, the entire Hun Clan would be uneasy.
And Hun Miesheng was naturally the best choice.
However, Hun Tianchen had specifically instructed Hun Miesheng that unless his life was truly in danger, he was not allowed to act or help him. It was to be treated as a training journey.
Under such conditions, Hun Miesheng could only accept with a miserable expression.
There was no helping it. He could not afford to offend Hun Tianchen.
Besides, Hun Tiandi had indeed said that Hun Tianchen should not be treated like a flower in a greenhouse and needed more training.
At the very least, he knew that after Hun Tianchen had gone out for only a short while, his cultivation, which had been stuck at the peak of Dou Zong for five years, had successfully broken through.
Through this strange coincidence, Hun Tiandi subconsciously believed that going out to train was quite beneficial to Hun Tianchen, so he readily agreed to let him leave again.
Hun Miesheng followed far behind Hun Tianchen and the others, not daring to stray beyond a one-kilometer radius.
It could be said that Hun Miesheng was an exceptionally dedicated bodyguard. He had even thrown all the miscellaneous affairs of managing the Hall of Souls to the Deputy Hall Master, then followed Hun Tianchen around like a devoted lackey.
"Tianchen, where are we going?" Xiao Yi Xian, walking beside Hun Tianchen, parted her red lips and asked softly.
"We're going to Fallen God Canyon to find a Seventh Rank Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Core for you," Hun Tianchen said leisurely. "It doesn't matter if we can't find an Eighth or Ninth Rank one. A Seventh Rank one will do for now. If there truly isn't anything better, we'll have to make do with a Seventh Rank one."
"There are Seventh Rank Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beasts in Fallen God Canyon?" Xiao Yi Xian asked doubtfully.
"That's right. So our first priority now is naturally curing your Calamity Poison Body." Hun Tianchen looked at Xiao Yi Xian and smiled. "While I was in seclusion, my clansmen didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
"No, but Qinglin and I were treated far too well." Xiao Yi Xian blinked her beautiful eyes, looking slightly embarrassed as she said, "They gave us practically everything we needed. Whether it was Cultivation Techniques or information concerning the Calamity Poison Body, they gave it all to me. This treatment is like... like treating me as the young... lady..."
Xiao Yi Xian's voice grew softer and softer. By the end, even with Hun Tianchen's cultivation, he could no longer hear what she was saying.
However, Queen Medusa beside Xiao Yi Xian seemed to have heard something. She looked at Xiao Yi Xian somewhat coldly but said nothing, merely casting a frosty glance at Hun Tianchen.
"When are you taking me to see my Serpent-People Clan tribe?"
Faced with this situation, even Hun Tianchen felt cold sweat trickling down his back, though he had no idea why he felt that way...
"Ahem, let's settle Xiao Yi Xian's matter first. The Calamity Poison Body cannot be delayed, and I don't want to drag this out any longer. Otherwise, it will cause Xiao Yi Xian considerable harm."
Upon hearing Hun Tianchen's answer, Xiao Yi Xian secretly shot Queen Medusa a triumphant look, making the latter somewhat annoyed. Queen Medusa did not give Hun Tianchen a pleasant expression, merely snorting coldly before saying no more.
Hearing Queen Medusa's snort, even someone as powerful as Hun Tianchen felt his heart tremble slightly. He had no idea why and could only force an awkward smile.
They left the Soul Realm and traveled all the way to the Central Region.
Central State was the core region of the Dou Qi Continent. The continent's strongest factions, peak experts, and most precious and abundant resources were all concentrated there.
The main region of Central State was divided into five domains: east, south, west, north, and central.
Here, both humans and magical beasts possessed powerful factions. Among the human factions, there was the renowned saying: "One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, Four Directions Pavilion."
The One Hall naturally referred to the Hall of Souls.
The One Tower was the Alchemist Tower of the Central Region, the holy land of alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent and a faction composed entirely of alchemists.
The Hall of Souls had considered destroying this so-called tower many times, allowing them to gather souls without restraint and complete their plan.
However, their foremost target was naturally the Ancient Eight Clans.
The Ancient Eight Clans were the Hun Clan, Ancient Clan, Yan Clan, Lei Clan, Yao Clan, Shi Clan, Ling Clan, and the already extinct Xiao Clan.
To prolong the Hun Clan's existence indefinitely, they had to obtain the Dou Di bloodlines of the other Ancient Races, then have Nihility Devouring Flame, which possessed the abilities of the Tunling Clan, devour those bloodlines. That would strengthen the Hun Clan and achieve their goal.
The Hun Clan's plan was currently at a critical stage. No matter how much they wished to destroy the Alchemist Tower, that was a matter for later.
As for the other factions, to be honest, only the Alchemist Tower was worth their attention. In the eyes of the Hall of Souls, all the other factions were mere clowns who would not be able to prance around for long.
However, rather unexpectedly, perhaps by coincidence or perhaps due to fate playing tricks, Hun Tianchen and the others encountered a faction on their way to Fallen God Canyon.
It was the depraved faction known as the Desire Immortal Sect...
Its Gate Master was a Dou Zong expert. In particular, when they saw that Hun Tianchen had no fewer than three stunning beauties beside him, greed surged in their hearts!
The Gate Master of the Desire Immortal Sect happened to be leading a large group of men somewhere to conduct certain business when he unexpectedly ran into them. Who knew whether it was bad luck or fate at work?
"Hehe, three beauties, why follow such a pretty boy? Why not all submit to me? Let us take you to the pinnacle of pleasure?" The Gate Master smiled as he led a large group of men to block Hun Tianchen's path.
"Those scum again..."
"Exactly. Who knows when they'll finally kick an iron plate and avenge my daughter..."
"Forget your daughter. Within several hundred miles of the Desire Immortal Sect, who would dare let their pretty daughters go out? If they were seen by those beasts, who knows how miserable their fate would be?"
"Sigh, those people must be outsiders, right? If you ask me, three more beauties are about to suffer..."
Hearing the street-side whispers, the Gate Master's expression turned extremely unpleasant. In embarrassed rage, he roared, "What does it have to do with you? What are you watching for? Get lost! If you keep watching, be careful that I don't lead my men into your homes and steal your women!"
Then the Gate Master leered at Hun Tianchen's gloomy expression and said with a smile, "Pretty boy, I'll give you one chance. Hand over the three women behind you, or don't blame us for beating you half to death. I'm a Dou Zong expert, so why aren't you handing them over obediently?"
"Beat me half to death? A Dou Zong expert? Is that supposed to be impressive?" A cold smile curled across Hun Tianchen's lips as he looked at Xiao Yi Xian and the others behind him. "Tell me, in a situation like this, should I act or not? Or would you rather handle it yourselves?"
