Slaying the Soul Hall Dou Saint, Reward: a Heaven-Tier Dou Technique

Lin Yang withdrew his thoughts and looked seriously at Little Fairy Doctor. "Alright, Little Fairy Doctor, come with me. I'll take you to meet an alchemist. From now on, you'll cultivate under him. As for your constitution, I'll regularly help you purge the toxins accumulated in your body."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded heavily. "Mm."

Lin Yang did not linger any longer. He took Little Fairy Doctor and left Myriad Medicine Hall.

At this moment, Soul Hall headquarters.

Heron Protector and a Dou Venerable from a Soul Hall branch had arrived at Soul Hall headquarters to report the situation.

The two met the master of Soul Hall, Soul Mie Sheng.

When Soul Mie Sheng learned that a high-ranking Dou Saint had appeared in the Jia Ma Empire, his brows furrowed slightly.

A high-ranking Dou Saint suddenly descending upon the Jia Ma Empire was very likely someone sent by an ancient clan.

The Eight Ancient Clans had an agreement: those above the level of a four-star Dou Saint were not to enter the mundane world lightly.

Now that someone had broken the rules, Soul Mie Sheng guessed that some treasure had likely appeared in the Jia Ma Empire. If it was not a Heavenly Flame, then it was the abode of some powerful expert. It was even possible that news of the Ancient Emperor Jade had surfaced.

Whatever it was, it was important to Soul Hall. They had to get involved.

After pondering briefly, Soul Mie Sheng decided to send Soul Hall's second-in-command, a two-star Dou Saint, to secretly gather information first.

Once they found out what was going on, the Soul Clan would strike like thunder.

Thus, five minutes later, Soul Hall's second-in-command hurried toward the Jia Ma Empire.

Jia Ma Empire, Wutan City.

Xiao Family.

Lin Yang brought Little Fairy Doctor down into Xiao Yan's small courtyard.

Inside the room, Yao Chen was refining Foundation-Building Elixir while Xiao Yan watched attentively from the side.

Suddenly sensing Lin Yang's aura, the Heavenly Flame in Yao Chen's palm flickered slightly. Delight flashed through Xiao Yan's eyes, and he hurriedly got up to open the door.

"Uncle, you're back." Xiao Yan opened the door with a broad smile. When he saw the white-clad young woman closely following beside Lin Yang, a hint of amazement appeared in his eyes. "Uncle, who is this?"

Lin Yang nodded slightly and introduced her. "This is Miss Little Fairy Doctor. From now on, she'll be your aunt. I plan to have her study alchemy under Yao Chen. Don't get any ideas about her." Lin Yang's voice suddenly turned stern.

Xiao Yan hurriedly waved his hands. "What are you saying, Uncle? I'm not that kind of person." He then looked at Little Fairy Doctor and greeted her with a grin. "Hehe, hello, Aunt."

Little Fairy Doctor smiled faintly and nodded without saying much.

Lin Yang said no more and led Little Fairy Doctor into the room.

Yao Chen had just finished refining the medicine. Seeing Lin Yang enter, he promptly rose to his feet. "Brother Lin, you're back." He did not ask further questions; he had already heard Lin Yang's words earlier.

Lin Yang nodded slightly. "Yao Chen, this is Little Fairy Doctor. She'll be learning alchemy under you from now on. However, there's a problem with her constitution. She has the Calamity Poison Body. Keep an eye on her. Don't let her frequently consume poison to raise her cultivation. I'll regularly help her purge the toxins."

Yao Chen froze slightly upon hearing this. She actually had the Calamity Poison Body. Though surprised, he could not say much in front of her and could only nod. "Alright, leave it to me."

Lin Yang said, "Alright, I'll trouble you to look after her. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."

"Mm."

Outside Wutan City, in the same valley as last time.

Lin Yang sat cross-legged and took out the Netherworld Poison Flame, beginning to devour and refine it.

Ten hours later, the Netherworld Poison Flame had been completely devoured and refined. Lin Yang's cultivation improved a little further, the gain a full fifty percent greater than what the Primordial Yellow Flame had provided.

"Not bad," Lin Yang said with slight satisfaction.

Just then,

the system suddenly alerted him. "Ding! A Soul Hall Dou Saint has been detected entering the Jia Ma Empire. A temporary mission has been triggered. Host, please kill him. Mission reward: one Heaven-Tier Dou Technique."

Lin Yang's expression immediately brightened with delight. "A Heaven-Tier Dou Technique. It's finally here."

"System, can you lock onto his location?" Lin Yang asked.

"Ding! Location locked. The target has just left the Cloud Mist Sect and is covertly heading toward Wutan City. The exact location has been marked on the system panel."

"Good."

Lin Yang immediately stopped wasting time, tore through space, and headed for the marked location to intercept him.

Outside Wutan City, Bright Moon Valley. Soul Hall's second-in-command landed silently, used a secret Soul Clan technique to conceal his aura, changed into ordinary clothes, and then set off on foot toward Wutan City.

Above a long, narrow road outside Bright Moon Valley, Lin Yang stood concealed within the clouds. He held a two-colored Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus in his hand, hiding his aura as he waited for the Soul Hall Dou Saint.

There were no travelers on the road at the moment, so he did not need to worry about harming innocents later.

Soul Hall's second-in-command strolled along leisurely, pondering how he should investigate once he entered Wutan City.

Before long, he stepped onto the long, narrow road.

Soul Hall's second-in-command suddenly stopped. He surveyed the surroundings, sensing that something was wrong.

Then, all of a sudden,

a surge of spatial power erupted fiercely from above. In the blink of an eye, a fire lotus abruptly appeared overhead and exploded instantly.

"What?!"

Soul Hall's second-in-command was startled. Unable to dodge in time, he hastily raised the Heavenly Soul Shield.

The fire lotus exploded, raising a mushroom cloud that blotted out the sky and swallowed Soul Hall's second-in-command.

Within the mushroom cloud, the extreme heat instantly vaporized everything within several thousand meters. The space inside collapsed completely as the Heavenly Flames frantically eroded the Soul Hall Dou Saint's Heavenly Soul Shield.

The Heavenly Soul Shield, which could originally withstand a full-force strike from a two-star Dou Saint, now faced the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus unleashed with the full strength of Lin Yang, a six-star Dou Saint.

It could not withstand it at all. After only a few breaths, it shattered violently.

The Heavenly Flames directly engulfed the Soul Hall Dou Saint. The cultivation techniques practiced by Soul Hall were inherently afraid of Heavenly Flames, not to mention that Lin Yang had unleashed a savage attack formed from the fusion of two Heavenly Flames, fully bringing out their terrifying ferocity.

As the mushroom cloud dispersed, the Soul Hall Dou Saint suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Countless wounds covered his body, black blood seeping from them.

Before he could even catch his breath, Lin Yang's Holy Sun Fire Phoenix Palm descended from the heavens, reaching directly above his head in the blink of an eye.

The Fire Phoenix Palm crushed the surrounding space, leaving the Soul Hall Dou Saint unable even to use spatial flickering.

With a ferocious expression, he hurriedly raised his palm in defense and unleashed a low-level Heaven-Tier Dou Technique at Lin Yang.

The two palms collided, and Lin Yang was clearly superior.

Although Soul Hall's second-in-command had used a low-level Heaven-Tier palm technique, Lin Yang was, after all, a six-star Dou Saint and had the enhancement of two Heavenly Flames. Moreover, Soul Hall's second-in-command had already been severely injured by the fire lotus. How could he possibly be Lin Yang's match?

When that palm struck, the Soul Hall Dou Saint spat out another mouthful of blood, his face filled with terror.

Lin Yang pressed his advantage and unleashed his palm technique again.

After several exchanges, the Soul Hall Dou Saint had lost all ability to fight. Lin Yang shattered his dantian with a single palm strike.

The Soul Hall Dou Saint let out a miserable scream and collapsed to the ground in agony, his face full of despair.

Lin Yang showed no mercy. He struck again, decisively killing him, and reduced the soul within his body to nothingness with the same palm.

At that moment, the system notification sounded. The Heaven-Tier Dou Technique had been issued.

Lin Yang glanced at his inventory. It was actually a high-level Heaven-Tier Dou Technique, the Sacred Sun Fire Emperor Finger.

Lin Yang was slightly delighted. He picked up the storage ring of Soul Hall's second-in-command and put away the corpse.

He then opened the Soul Hall Dou Saint's storage ring and took a look. Good heavens, there were two low-level Heaven-Tier Dou Techniques.

There was also a high-level Heaven-Tier secret art, Nine Forests Hundred Soul Devouring.

The moment he saw this secret art, Lin Yang's heart stirred. It was actually a Soul Clan secret art for strengthening the soul.

His soul was currently at the high tier of the Heavenly Realm, still some distance from the peak of the Heavenly Realm.

With this secret art, he could quickly fill out his soul realm and charge toward the peak of the Heavenly Realm.

Lin Yang put away all the spoils, his gaze turning slightly grave.

He knew very well that by killing one of Soul Hall's second-in-commands,

Soul Mie Sheng would certainly be enraged!

The next Soul Clan expert to arrive in the Jia Ma Empire would be, at the very least, a four-star or five-star Dou Saint—perhaps someone even stronger!

Calculating the time, Lin Yang remembered that in the original work, Soul Hall inspected its Life-Soul Jade Tokens once per day. There was a one-day buffer period. Once Soul Mie Sheng learned of it, he likely would not dare come alone for revenge and would certainly seek aid from the Soul Clan. It would probably take another one or even two days for them to arrive.

Therefore, Lin Yang estimated that Soul Clan experts would descend upon Wutan City in no more than three days.

He needed to get the third Heavenly Flame quickly and refresh the next mission. Ideally, it would be a secret art that raised his cultivation realm. At worst, he needed another new Heavenly Flame. With a secret art in hand, or four Heavenly Flames,

otherwise, if he encountered a six-star or seven-star Dou Saint, he might not be able to defeat them—and might even suffer a disastrous defeat.

Lin Yang did not linger any longer and hurried toward Stone Desert City.
