In the dim palace, only a few green oil lamps emitted light, giving people an indescribable feeling of depression.
The space of the palace here is huge. A huge pillar that is hundreds of feet high supports the entire palace. Along the way, there are Prison Cells hanging down. Connected to them are black chains. At the end of them, there are Soul Bodys with a halo. And he At this moment, they all showed painful expressions, and their souls were constantly dimming. It seemed that the origin of their souls was being continuously extracted. However, the surrounding cages also had the effect of stabilizing their souls, making them unable to commit suicide. They could only be raised in Prison Cell like livestock.
In such a situation, it is really impossible to survive but not to die.
And the huge pillar is filled with strange lines, which will flicker once or twice after a few breaths, just like the human body vomiting, but what it absorbs is not Heaven and Earth Energy, but the origin of these Soul Body.
Dozens of souls filled with evil spirits floated around the giant pillar, like machines, constantly taking out Soul Body from a black bag and placing it into the vacant cage.
On some stone pillars around the palace, you can vaguely see some dark figures sitting cross-legged. These figures are all shrouded in the black mist, and a gloomy air permeates the air, making the atmosphere of the palace even more depressing and gloomy.
"Huh?" Suddenly, a thin figure in the center opened his eyes and looked at the two people approaching quickly outside the palace, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The visitors are none other than Iron Protector and Vulture Protector.
These two people are Guardian who have been promoted in recent years. They have also appeared at Venerable Elder, so Lin Protector, who is responsible for the daily care of the palace, recognized them.
"Why did you come back so quickly? Did you gain something else? Black-Corner Region is really a good place~" Lin Protector slowly stood up and floated over, joking with a hint of mockery on his lips.
Different from bowing their heads in the past, Iron Protector and Vulture Protector seemed to have a lot more confidence this time. They ignored Lin Protector's stern tone and said directly, "Please Lin Protector, please let me know, we two would like to ask to see Venerable Elder."
"Meet Venerable Elder? If there is no reason, I don't dare to disturb Venerable Elder's rest." Lin Protector frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
This branch hall is responsible for the Black-Corner Region and Northwest Region area. There are three Venerable Elders in charge, and even a Heavenly Venerate level came here two years ago. Big shot, the other party seems to have received some order and came here to look for a person. Unfortunately, several years have passed and Soul Hall, Guardian and Soul Envoy have not found that person.
After all, Black-Corner Region and Northwest Region are both too big. Looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
What's more, the boy back then may have grown up now, and his face and body shape have also changed.
"We found the young master." Iron Protector said slowly in a low voice.
"What young master... wait, what did you say?!"
Lin Protector was stunned when he heard the words, and immediately reacted. His expression suddenly changed. Unlike the two little Guardian who didn't know anything before him, he had been the daily manager of the branch hall for a hundred years, so he knew much more information than the other party. This time Heavenly Venerate came to the branch hall, and it seemed that he was ordered by a big shot above.
To be able to command a big shot at the Heavenly Venerate level, the opponent's strength must be at that level.
Dou Sheng... Just thinking about it makes my heart tremble.
"Where are the people?!" Lin Protector asked quickly without caring about anything else.
"..."
Iron Protector and Vulture Protector both remained silent and did not answer Lin Protector's question. They were also worried about being intercepted and had no credit, so they had already agreed not to say anything if Venerable Elder was not seen.
Lin Protector naturally noticed the little thoughts of the two people, and immediately snorted angrily, "I hope you really found it!"
After saying that, he turned around and flew towards the interior of the palace.
That is the place where Venerable Elder retreats. For the characters of Dou Zun level, in addition to their daily travels and adventures, they spend most of their time choosing a place to retreat, and each retreat lasts at least several years.
For Dou Zun, which has a lifespan of nearly a thousand years, several years have passed by in a flash.
Soon as Lin Protector entered.
A ghostly figure suddenly appeared in front of Iron Protector and Vulture Protector. The visitor appeared without any warning, as if he had been standing here for a long time. He was wearing a black robe and his eyes were slightly With a slight fluctuation, just looking at Iron Protector and Vulture Protector, there is an indescribable sense of oppression, as if the surrounding space has become solid with the person in front of me, making people unable to move.
"Where are the people?" the visitor said indifferently.
As the other party finished speaking, the surrounding space seemed to tremble slightly, and Iron Protector and Vulture Protector were directly forced to bend down.
Iron Protector swallowed his saliva, and respectfully took out a Message Jade Token from Storage Ring, raised his hands high, and said, "Venerable Elder, this is what the young master asked us to bring. He is back. He is at Black-Corner Region at the moment. He seems to have something to do, so he did not come back with us. According to the Master, he is not suitable to be related to the Soul Hall at the moment. He seems to have something to do."
The man in black stretched out his hand and shook it slightly, but there was no energy fluctuation. The jade token Iron Protector held high fell into his hand. As a majestic Soul Power swept across it, all the information contained in it was transmitted to his mind, causing his eyes to condense slightly.
"Unexpectedly, that old thing is not dead yet, and now he has fallen into the hands of the young master, interesting~" The man in black read the message from Communication Jade Token, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he murmured to himself in a low voice.
Iron Protector and Vulture Protector lowered their heads, not daring to show off.
The majestic aura of the man in black subsided, with a slight smile on his lips. He seemed to be in a good mood. He looked at Iron Protector and Vulture Protector and said calmly, "This is well done. Once the merit is recorded, Branch Hall Master can improve your strength once, and you can freely choose a piece of land as a hunting ground."
"Thank you Venerable Elder!" Iron Protector and Vulture Protector were immediately overjoyed when they heard this, and quickly responded with their hands raised.
As the voice fell.
The man in black has already disappeared. He came here to find Yao Yan. No, it should be called Soul Yan. Now that he has found the person, he can also ask Hun Xuzi Lord reported it, and the news that Yao Lao is still alive seems quite interesting. According to the other party's intention, Soul Yan seems to be planning to follow Lord Hun Xuzi's old path.
They really deserve to be master and apprentice.
The man in black is Nine Heavens Venerate Mo Yu of the Soul Hall. His strength ranks among Seven-Star Dou Zun Peak. Therefore, he knows a lot about the Soul Clan and has met Hun Xuzi a few times. Next time, therefore, the task of searching for Yao Yan fell on his head. After getting accurate information, he did not dare to neglect, returned to the secret room, and crushed the Communication Jade Token that Hun Xuzi gave him.
"Click~"
As the jade tablet shattered, a wisp of black flame emerged instantly, and at the same time, the space seemed to be swallowed up, revealing a hole like a whirlpool. The next moment, a shadow surrounded by black flames appeared in front of Mo Yu.
"Found it?" Hun Xuzi raised his eyes slightly, and his voice was indifferent and without any waves.
"Sir, this is Message Jade Token sent by the young master." Mo Yu nodded and respectfully handed the jade token to Hun Xuzi.
Hun Xuzi Soul Power scanned it and read all the messages in the jade tablet. Suddenly, there were some emotional fluctuations in his eyes, and some surprises appeared on his face. He said in a low voice, "This kid's luck is really good. The skills I prepared for him seem to be in vain... Tsk, Yao Chen actually has such a skill in his hand."
"Sir, it seems that Flame Mantra was obtained by Yao Chen from a Ancient Ruin. For this skill, Old Man Mu Gu also fought with him." Mo Yu and Old Man Mu Gu both belong to the Soul Hall Venerable Elder, so they naturally know some secrets.
Flame Mantra This technique sounds very special, but in the eyes of really big people, this technique is deceptive.
It is simply ridiculous to think that Heavenly Flames is the material for evolution. However, Han Feng is willing to fight for it. In the end, his reason is overwhelmed by greed.
Heavenly Flames is so easy to find, let alone devour.
However, Yao Yan was lucky. In just a few years, he was able to collect all Four Types of Exotic Flames, and even successfully devoured Two Types of Exotic Flames, raising his strength to four-star Dou Emperor. This cultivation speed is not considered slow even among the Soul Clan.
You must know that Yao Yan does not have many cultivation resources, which are far inferior to those talented disciples supported by the Soul Clan.
"It doesn't matter what the technique is. Whether it suits you and how to practice it successfully is the key. If he can get this technique, have the courage to practice it, and practice it successfully, it's not in vain for me to teach you. The path of cultivation must depend on yourself after all. This kid actually If you have the guts to plot against a Nine-Revolution Dou Zun Peak, then let him. I also want to see how far he can go, Jiejie~" Hun Xuzi's mood seemed to be a lot higher, as if he was thinking about his past.
Now that his apprentice has embarked on the same path as him, how can this not make him feel excited?
As for the value of Flame Mantra, Hun Xuzi and other high-level Dou Sheng obviously have no interest in it, not to mention Heavenly Flames. Even if this technique is really brought back to the clan, it is estimated that the old guys in the clan will not agree to the cultivation of genius disciples under their disciples.
What's more, Yao Yan is still his disciple, so as a teacher, you naturally have to protect him.
"Help me send him a message. I'm waiting for him at Central Plains. Whatever he wants to do, he can do it. If anything happens, I'll take care of him!" Hun Xuzi smiled calmly, said the explanation, and the figure slowly disappeared into the space.
He had no intention of coming to see Yao Yan. After all, as Soul Clan, Number One Alchemist, he couldn't leave at all. A group of people were waiting for him to refine the elixir.
As we all know, Soul Hall and the alchemist are mortal enemies.
"Yes!" Mo Yu responded with his hands raised.
"We did a good job, so I will give this elixir to you." Before Hun Xuzi left, he held his hand in the air, and a bottle of elixir appeared out of thin air. With the wave of his palm, it floated in front of Mo Yu. With his strength at his level, space distance has never been a problem, and he can easily tear it apart.
Who makes the space of the Dou Qi Continent as fragile as a little daughter-in-law, unable to withstand the torment at all.
As the elixir was thrown, his figure completely disappeared, and the surrounding space returned to normal.
"Thank you for the reward, sir!"
Mo Yu couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. With Hun Xuzi's status, the pill the other party rewarded was at least the peak level pill of Eighth-Tier, which was enough to help him break through the current level easily. You know, he has been stuck at Seven-Star Dou Zun Peak for nearly a hundred years!
"Perhaps we need to make good friends with this young master..." Mo Yu held the elixir, with a slight fluctuation in his eyes, and thought in his heart.
I don't know if the young master needs a guard by his side, but he thinks he should be able to do it.
If that doesn't work, he can still call his sworn brother, Eight Heavens Venerate Qiu Di, who has a lot of old grudges with Yao Chen. Maybe he can call him for this plot against Yao Chen.
Yao Yan didn't know Hun Xuzi's reaction. He was pursed his lips at the moment, looking at Cai Lin in his arms with some pain, and said with a joking smile, "Bite so hard... Fortunately, I have thick skin and thick flesh~"
Cai Lin's pretty face was slightly red, but she pretended to be cold and turned away her head, too lazy to pay attention to this scoundrel Yao Yan. Do you really think she was reluctant to beat him?!
"Have you hugged me enough?" she asked coldly.
"No~"
Yao Yan said rationally, he really liked looking at Cai Lin's arrogant expression, especially when you were stronger than her, her tangled expression of wanting to bite you to death but not being able to bite you, was really interesting.
After he finished speaking, he tightened his arms a little more and hugged the slender and voluptuous waist. Feeling the warmth and softness in front of the other person's body, he felt an indescribable satisfaction for a moment.
The purpose of practicing to become stronger is not just for this moment.
A weak person is not qualified to hug a Medusa Queen, let alone Yao Yan still thinking about her sister.
"... You are really shameless!" Cai Lin closed his eyes and took a breath, then glared at Yao Yan fiercely and said in a deep voice.
After clarifying her thoughts, she realized how shameless Yao Yan was. Perhaps the boy in front of her had already started to have her ideas a long time ago, but he had always used Cai Die as a cover in the past. Now that his strength has surpassed hers, he no longer concealed it.
"It's okay to be thick-skinned. If I don't take the initiative, will you take the initiative? You can't just pretend that nothing happened. I'm not such a casual person." Yao Yan spoke nonsense.
"Then have you ever thought about Cai Die?!"
Cai Lin said in a deep voice with a little more struggle in his tone.
"I never said I would give up on her, and Cai Die also told me before that I hope we will always be together. Don't you want to be with your sister forever? Besides, you have a unique connection with him. Do you think I will let you go to someone else?" Yao Yan looked at Cai Lin's charming purple eyes and said softly.
"I will never have anyone else!" Cai Lin made his final struggle.
"That's for sure, you are mine!" Yao Yan said rather domineeringly, and then he hugged Cai Lin and walked towards Ruantan beside him.
Don't ask why there is such a thing in the secret room.
What is Storage Ring used for?
