Qing Hai's soul form

After leaving the palace, Xiao Yu felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He had just used his powerful Soul Power to search the entire underground palace, but after finding no trace of the Soul Hall, he had no choice but to give up. However, Xiao Yu didn't believe that the Soul Hall wasn't involved, so he planned to bring Cai Lin back to the palace that night!

After Xiao Yu returned to the Mittel Family, Ya Fei greeted him with a light smile and asked, "How did your Yao Ye go?"

Xiao Yu smiled faintly, "What else can I say? It's just like that. Meeting Jia Xingtian felt a bit strange!"

"Oh? What do you mean?" Ya Fei asked, somewhat surprised.

"I can't quite put my finger on it. At first glance, Jia Xingtian seems to have no problems at all, but when I think about it, he seems to be all problems. I suspect he has some connection with the Soul Hall!" Xiao Yu said, recalling Jia Xingtian's performance in the underground palace.

"The Soul Hall?" Ya Fei frowned slightly. She had heard of this power before. It seemed that Misty Cloud Sect had some connection with the Soul Hall back then!

Xiao Yu patted Ya Fei's head and chuckled, "Don't worry about this matter. Just focus on handling the Mittel Family's relocation!"

Ya Fei pouted slightly and said discontentedly, "You still have the nerve to say that? If I had known, I wouldn't have suggested moving the Mittel Family to the Black Corner Region. Not to mention that this place is tens of thousands of miles away from the Black Corner Region, just moving the entire Mittel Family would be a troublesome matter!"

Hearing Ya Fei's complaint, Xiao Yu chuckled and pinched Ya Fei's pretty cheek, saying, "This can't possibly stump my little Ya Fei, can it?"

"Oh dear!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's address to her, Ya Fei immediately blushed and lightly punched Xiao Yu twice with her small fists. Her cheeks were as red as blooming peach blossoms, making her extremely alluring!

After joking around with Ya Fei for a while, Xiao Yu went straight to Cai Lin's room. Looking at the clothes and shoes he had bought for Cai Lin, he nodded and praised, "I must say, you really look good in this outfit!"

Cai Lin merely glanced at Xiao Yu and asked indifferently, "What is it now?"

She finally understood that if Xiao Yu came looking for her, it was definitely not for anything good.

Upon hearing Cai Lin's words, Xiao Yu looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "Hehe, it's nothing, just a small matter!"

"I'm not a hired thug. You help me find medicinal herbs and refine pills, but so far, you haven't found a single one. We agreed before that if you want me to help again, you have to produce a single medicinal herb!" Cai Lin's narrow, beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Yu.

"Hehe, do we need to be so formal with each other? Can we owe you the medicine for now? I'll definitely make it up to you!" Xiao Yu chuckled, displaying his shameless nature.

Cai Lin then held up two fingers and said, "Two years. I'm only giving you two years. After two years, whether you find the medicinal herbs or not, I don't know what I might do!"

Xiao Yu nodded helplessly and said, "Understood, understood. I guarantee I can refine two Spirit Fusion Pill for you within two years!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Cai Lin Lin's expression immediately relaxed, and she looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "What is it?"

Xiao Yu then realized he had come to Cai Lin for business. "Come with me to the capital tonight!"

Cai Lin looked at Xiao Yu with some confusion and said, "Just this? With your strength, you shouldn't have any problem freely entering and leaving the imperial city, right?"

Xiao Yu looked towards the imperial city and said, "It used to be possible, but I just saw Jia Xingtian, and he broke through to the Dou Zong!"

These words surprised Cai Lin. She knew that Jia Xingtian was the number one expert of the Jia Ma Imperial Family. She had seen Jia Xingtian once when the Jia Ma Empire was in conflict with the Snake People Clan. At that time, Jia Xingtian was at the Peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor. So many years have passed, and he has broken through to the next level. Back then, she had also gone through nine deaths and one life to survive!

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Don't be surprised, I suspect he's cooperating with the Soul Hall, just like Yun Shan!"

"So you're planning to go to the capital tonight to investigate?" Cai Lin immediately guessed his intention.

Xiao Yu nodded slightly and said, "Perhaps we'll see Jia Xingtian's true colors tonight!"

After thinking for a moment, Cai Lin said, "Okay!"

As night fell, two figures burst out of the Mittel Family manor—it was Xiao Yu and Cai Lin!

At their speed, it only took them a few minutes to arrive at the palace where Xiao Yu had been during the day. At that moment, Xiao Yu immediately felt a chilling wind blowing through the area.

Cai Lin lightly stepped onto the palace and stood still, her delicate brows slightly furrowed as she said, "The Yin energy here is very strong!"

Because Cai Lin is Snake-People, her blood contains cold and malevolent energy, making her extremely sensitive to this kind of aura.

Xiao Yu also sensed something was amiss and was about to go down to investigate when Cai Lin's eyes narrowed, and she whispered, "Be careful!"

A terrifying chain suddenly shot out from the void, its surface radiating a chilling aura. With a flick of her Cai Lin, Cai Lin unleashed a seven-colored streak of light that hurtled towards the chain!

Boom!

With a loud bang, the two collided in mid-air, and the powerful force generated spread in all directions. The palace was directly blasted away, and the entire imperial city was alarmed at this moment.

Just as Yao Ye was about to go to sleep, she was suddenly startled by this powerful aura. Realizing that the power was coming from where her great-grandfather was, she quickly dressed and rushed over with her guards.

"Hehehe! Xiao Yu, you did indeed sense my presence. Did you think you were safe just because you found a Dou Zong?" Jia Xingtian's figure suddenly stepped out from the void, his body shrouded in a chilling black aura.

Xiao Yu retreated rapidly, lightly touching the ruins of the palace. With a flap of his Dou Qi Wings, he stood up in mid-air. Looking at Jia Xingtian, who stepped out of the void, he was slightly startled!

"Who are you?" Xiao Yu asked Jia Xingtian coldly.

Jia Xingtian's voice had completely changed to a hoarse one, and his pupils had turned black, making him look like he had been demonized. Moreover, the strength that Jia Xingtian was now displaying was far beyond that of an ordinary Dou Zong!

"Hehehe! I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Hall, the Tianzun Qing Hai!" Jia Xingtian said with a sinister laugh.

Xiao Yu frowned deeply. He remembered that one of the two Dou Zun who appeared at the Jia Nan Academy was named Qing Hai.

"Weren't you dead?" Xiao Yu asked, looking at Qing Hai.

Qing Hai immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Bullshit! I'm perfectly fine, why would I die?"

Looking at Qing Hai's current state, Xiao Yu suddenly understood. "You are a wisp of Qing Hai's soul, aren't you? No wonder I felt something was off when I saw Jia Xingtian today; it turns out you were parasitizing Jia Xingtian's body!"

"So what if you understand? You should know where the key to the Xiao Clan is, right?" Qing Hai looked at Xiao Yu coldly.

Xiao Yu sneered, "A key? What key? Speaking of which, your Soul Hall really has a lot of tricks up your sleeve. Don't you have any connection with the original body at all?"

"What do you mean?" Qing Hai's chains bobbed up and down, his cold eyes fixed on Xiao Yu, and his terrifyingly chilling aura caused the surrounding temperature to drop significantly.
