Lin Guannan's transformation

Xiao Yu could sense that the Teng Snake's Soul Power was gradually weakening, while the Dou Zong aura on Qing Lin's body was gradually getting stronger. This made Xiao Yu feel a little strange. It seemed that the Teng Snake was using its own Soul Power to support Qing Lin's strength growth!

Xiao Yi Xian asked with some concern, "Will this harm Qing Lin?"

Xiao Yu shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't sense any threatening aura from this Teng Snake, but I could feel its goodwill towards Qing Lin Teng Snake!"

"Goodwill?" Even Cai Lin couldn't help but be surprised.

How could such a powerful Ancient Teng Snake be benevolent towards a strong human? Could it be because of the trace of Snake-People blood within Qing Lin?

This problem baffled all four of them, and in the end, they could only leave it unresolved. After Xiao Yu took out a few pills from his Storage Ring and swallowed them, his complexion improved considerably.

Xiao Yu said, "Let's go back first. This Teng Snake shouldn't have any major problems. After such a long time, although Teng Snake Soul Power is still strong, it's much weaker than when it was alive. With Qing Lin's own strength and Soul Power, he should be able to suppress it!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Lin nodded and said, "Young Master, let's continue on our way!"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Okay, if anything is wrong, tell me immediately!"

"Good!"

The four then flew towards Maple City.

Inside Lin Guannan's room in the Heavenly Snake Mansion, strands of black energy swirled around Lin Guannan body like a whirlwind. Standing before Lin Guannan was a black figure, none other than the Elder of the Soul Hall.

A look of pain suddenly appeared on Lin Guannan's face. He glared at the dark figure before him and said, "Venerable Elder Zhao Yang, will this method work?"

Venerable Elder Zhao Yang stretched out his hands and moved them rhythmically in front of Lin Guannan, controlling the black threads to drill into Lin Guannan's body. As the black threads entered Lin Guannan's body, a black dot could be clearly seen appearing at Lin Guannan's dantian. A black line then spread from the dantian along his meridians throughout his body until it covered his entire body.

The next moment, the black threads on Lin Guannan's body gradually disappeared, as if they had never appeared at all. Lin Guannan opened his eyes the instant the black threads disappeared, and a murderous aura surged from his body.

Zhao Yang chuckled and said, "This is a special Soul Seizing Technique of our Soul Hall. Now I'm teaching it to you. This technique can help you devour other people's souls to improve your cultivation. If you want to control the Heavenly Snake Mansion and increase your power, I've already given you the method. It's up to you how you use it!"

After saying that, Zhao Yang disappeared from the room, while Lin Guannan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, had a cold smile on his lips, a flash of greed and bloodlust in his eyes!

Inside the main hall of the Xiao Clan in Maple City, Xiao Ding, Hai Bodong, Ya Fei, Yun Yun, and a group of elite members from the Underworld were all gathered.

Xiao Ding looked at Hai Bodong, Ya Fei, and the others with a somewhat solemn expression and said, "Our people have received news around Magic Flame Valley. There seems to be quite a commotion inside. We previously clashed with the people of Magic Flame Valley Magic Flame Valley Magic Flame Valley and killed three elders, thus forging a deadly enmity with them. If the Old Ghost Di Mo Magic Flame Valley from seclusion, he will likely target our Underworld first!"

Hai Bodong said in a deep voice, "This Old Ghost Di Mo was a powerful figure in the Black Corner Region a long time ago. Before this seclusion, he was rumored to have the strength of Six-Star Dou Zong, far surpassing the Black Emperor Sect!"

Ya Fei sat gracefully in the chair, her snow-white legs tapping rhythmically. Her expression wasn't anxious at all; she appeared extremely calm. Seeing Xiao Ding and Hai Bodong both looking somewhat pessimistic, Ya Fei chuckled and said, "Brother Xiao Ding, Elder Hai, don't worry. If that Old Ghost Di Mo dares to come to Maple City, he'll definitely never return!"

Then Ya Fei looked at Yun Yun with a playful expression and said, "If the Old Ghost Di Mo comes, we'll have to rely on Sister Yun Yun for help!"

A faint smile appeared on Yun Yun's cool face as she said, "Don't worry, if Xiao Yu finds out that I failed in protecting the Underworld, he'll probably come after me!"

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei covered her mouth and chuckled, "With my sister's help, we'll be safe and sound!"

Xiao Ding and Hai Bodong were still not quite sure about Yun Yun's strength. When she made her move before, although Yun Yun also showed the strength of Dou Zong, she only took down a Dou Zong in a few moves. Presumably, her strength should be around a four or five- Dou Zong. Now it seems that Xiao Ding and Hai Bodong were still doubting Yun Yun's strength!

Seeing the worried looks in Xiao Ding and Hai Bodong's eyes, Yun Yun instantly unleashed the power of Eight-Star Dou Zong. The extremely violent Dou Qi aura caused Xiao Ding and Hai Bodong's expressions to change drastically. At this moment, they realized how powerful Yun Yun was, and they immediately felt relieved!

Since acquiring the Life Divine Tree, Yun Yun's cultivation speed has increased by leaps and bounds. In addition, she can now also cultivate the Wood Attribute, so even if she were to face Nine-Star Dou Zong, she should not have too much of a problem!

Xiao Ding let out a soft breath and said, "In that case, I feel much more at ease!"

The tense atmosphere in the hall suddenly eased, and many members of the Underworld even felt a sense of fear towards Yun Yun. Xiao Ding methodically issued defensive orders to the Underworld personnel, and only after they all left did Xiao Ding relax.

"Fourth Brother is the smartest. He knew to be a hands-off manager from the beginning. Now that the Underworld's power is growing, I feel more comfortable back when I was a mercenary in the Tagor Desert!" Xiao Ding said with emotion.

Ya Fei smiled and said, "Brother Xiao Ding can start training some capable assistants. There's no need for him to control everything. The person in charge only needs to keep things in the right direction!"

Upon hearing Ya Fei's words, Xiao Ding immediately began to ponder. He did indeed feel that he was holding on too tightly, which had actually slowed down his cultivation speed recently. Even Xiao Li had surpassed him!

Just then, a hearty laugh came from outside, "That's right, Ya Fei is right. It seems that elder brother still hasn't seen through things!"

Upon hearing this voice, Ya Fei and Yun Yun's eyes lit up. Xiao Ding and Hai Bodong looked out of the hall with some surprise. Four figures descended from the sky; it was Xiao Yu and the others who had rushed back.

Ya Fei glanced at the three beautiful figures surrounding Xiao Yu and sighed inwardly, "This guy's luck with women is too good! They're all beauties. I'll have to teach him a lesson tonight!"

Ya Fei stared at Xiao Yu with a slightly fierce look in her eyes, wrinkling her fair and delicate nose as she thought to herself.
