The seal erupted
After greeting everyone, Xiao Yi Xian turned to Xiao Yu and asked, "Why did you get here so quickly?"
Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "We encountered the Soul Hall's forces when we were with the Snake People Clan. They were all in the Chuyun Empire, so they came to check things out. The mysterious force Yan Xixi mentioned earlier must be the Soul Hall!"
Xiao Yi Xian also realized what was going on, "You mean, the person who found me before was from the Soul Hall you mentioned?"
"Are you involved with the Soul Hall?" Xiao Yi Xian suddenly asked.
With her exceptional intelligence, Xiao Yi Xian could naturally deduce the connection. If Xiao Yu had no ties with the Soul Hall, he wouldn't have come to find her in such a hurry. Moreover, she had always felt that the Soul Hall's alliance with the Chuyun Empire was related to Xiao Yu, and now it all made sense!
Xiao Yu nodded slightly and said, "The Soul Hall's power is arguably the strongest on the continent. They have a deep-seated grudge against me, but you don't need to worry. Although the Soul Hall is powerful, they are not without scruples. This time, their attempt to use you to attack the Jia Ma Empire shows that no matter how powerful they are, they still need to rely on others!"
"I came here this time to completely eliminate all the Soul Hall's forces in the Northwest Continent!" Xiao Yu said.
Xiao Yi Xian pondered for a moment and said, "The mysterious person who is looking for me is probably a bit stronger than me. Are you confident?"
Xiao Yi Xian's current strength is Two-Star Dou Zong, which should be similar to Yan Luotian of the Golden Goose Sect. If the mysterious person from the Soul Hall is stronger than Xiao Yi Xian, then he should be about the same as Cai Lin and Yun Yun.
Xiao Yu knew what she was worried about, and reassured her, "Don't worry, we came prepared this time!"
Although Xiao Yi Xian didn't know what Xiao Yu's preparations were, she always trusted Xiao Yu, so she didn't say much.
Xiao Yu, Yun Yun, and the others did not stay inside the Poison Sect, but instead settled in a cave on a mountain peak not far from the Poison Sect, in order to avoid alerting the Soul Hall.
Before leaving, Xiao Yu suddenly instructed Xiao Yi Xian, "Be careful with your subordinates. They might be secretly colluding with the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate. It's best not to let too many people know about some important matters!"
Xiao Yi Xian gave Xiao Yu a deep look, then nodded in agreement.
For the next two weeks, the protector of the Soul Hall did not appear, so Xiao Yu and his group stayed on the mountain. However, a lot happened during those two weeks.
First, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate and the Imperial Family stopped suppressing the Poison Sect. Then, the Imperial Family gave up a city close to the Imperial Capital to the Poison Sect, which was named by the Poison Sect as: Heavenly Poison City!
Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate and the Poison Sect announced their cooperation.
That day, Xiao Yi Xian came alone to the mountain peak where Xiao Yu was.
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yi Xian and asked, "How is it? Have the people from the Soul Hall stopped looking for you?"
Xiao Yi Xian shook her head slightly and said, "No, it seems to have simply vanished!"
Xiao Yu frowned slightly, then said, "Forget it, I won't wait any longer. I plan to infiltrate when all three of your empires begin their attack on Jia Ma!"
"No, I don't agree!" Yun Yun said as she walked out of the cave.
Xiao Yu looked at Yun Yun with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yun Yun gave Xiao Yu a deep look and said, "Although you now have the strength to fight against Dou Zong, you haven't truly reached the Dou Zong yet. I'm worried if you encounter a powerful figure from the Soul Hall within the alliance!"
At this moment, Cai Lin also came out and looked at Xiao Yu, saying, "The Soul Hall and my Snake People Clan have a deep-seated hatred for each other. I came here to find a powerful member of the Soul Hall. What do you mean by going alone now?"
Although Cai Lin's tone was cold, one could still faintly sense a hint of concern.
Xiao Yu smiled faintly at Cai Lin and Yun Yun and said, "Don't worry, what are you worried about? The Soul Hall people are always sneaky. I'm just going to their alliance to gather some information."
Xiao Yi Xian said to Xiao Yu, "The alliance matter should be resolved in the next day or two. If you want to go in, disguise yourself and stay by my side."
Then Xiao Yi Xian looked at Yun Yun and Cai Lin and said, "Don't worry, I can protect Xiao Yu by my side!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, Xiao Yu's face darkened, and he said with a wry smile, "I'm not that weak, am I?"
With her long, slender legs, Cai Lin walked up to Xiao Yu and mocked, "No matter how strong you are, you're only at the Dou Emperor!"
"Hey! With my current strength, I can still handle you, right? I remember an ancestral precept of your Snake People Clan: Her Majesty the Queen's men must be stronger than the Queen herself, right?" Xiao Yu said with a smile.
Upon hearing Cai Lin's beautiful face flushed crimson, but she immediately retorted angrily, "So what? Your current strength is only enough to draw with mine. Say that again when your strength has completely surpassed mine!"
Xiao Yu completely ignored Cai Lin's words and casually said, "It's only a matter of time, just wait and see!"
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Yun said, "Have you forgotten that I'm already awake?"
"Uh, hehe, wife, isn't this what you tacitly agree to?" Xiao Yu said mischievously, taking Yun Yun's small hand.
Yun Yun rolled her eyes at Xiao Yu and said, "Go do what you're doing!"
"Alright!" Xiao Yu replied.
Afterwards, Xiao Yu followed Xiao Yi Xian back to the Poison Sect. Xiao Yu quickly disguised himself and stayed by Xiao Yi Xian's side.
Jia Nan Academy, far away in the Black Corner Region.
In the Great Elder's office, an elder who guards the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower rushed in from outside.
"Great Elder, the seal at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower seems to be reacting!" the yellow-robed elder said with a solemn expression.
"What?" Great Elder Su Qian suddenly looked at the yellow-robed elder and shouted.
"Go and see!" Great Elder Su Qian was suddenly startled and his figure vanished from the room.
Meanwhile, on the plaza of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, a steady stream of students were heading into the tower.
A flash of white light appeared in the sky; it was Great Elder Su Qian who had rushed over.
Great Elder Su Qian, who had just arrived, suddenly changed his expression drastically. He keenly sensed an extremely violent and scorching energy emanating from within the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.
What terrified Great Elder Su Qian even more was that this violent aura was even more powerful than the Fallen Heart Flame aura from their academy before!
"Everyone evacuate the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower! Something has happened inside!" Great Elder Su Qian shouted immediately.
"Bang!"
As soon as Su Qian finished speaking, a deafening roar came from the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, and everyone saw the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower tremble violently!
"Run! The Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower looks like it's about to erupt again!" Many students shouted.
"Bang!"
With another loud bang, cracks appeared on the tip of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower before Su Qian's horrified gaze!
