Conditions

"Damn it!"

As the flames drew near, Protector Wu couldn't help but howl in agony. At that moment, he was horrified to discover that a flame had ignited within his body, and his meridians, bones, internal organs, and other systems were experiencing a stinging and burning sensation that was growing stronger and stronger.

However, this flame was completely different in color from the traditional Fallen Heart Flame, and he didn't think of it as part of the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Stop! I am Soul Hall Protector. Aren't you afraid of offending the Soul Hall if you kill me?"

He discovered that the space around him was completely sealed off; in fact, he was completely unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as the flames flew towards him, and he had no choice but to resort to threats.

"Stop! Let me go! I promise I'll never be your enemy again and will never provoke you again!"

Lin Qing remained silent as the Vermilion Bird, formed from the Heavenly Flames, continued to fly towards Protector Wu. With the blessing of the Spatial Ancestral Talisman, Protector Wu had no way to escape. He could only watch helplessly as the flames, radiating terrifyingly high temperatures, landed on his Soul Body.

"Hiss!"

"Ah--!"

The moment the flames fell, Protector Wu let out a shrill wail.

In less than three breaths, the black mist vanished from the stone chamber, leaving only a Vermilion Bird burning fiercely.

Protector Wu die!

"The Soul Hall Protector! We're going to kill the Soul Hall Protector!"

Lin Qing spoke with a chilling aura, then gestured towards the flames, and the entire ball of fire returned to his hand. When the flames died down, a jet-black Storage Ring appeared in his hand. After examining the Storage Ring, he found...

Lin Qing nodded in satisfaction and casually tossed it into his Storage Space.

"Teacher! Are you alright?"

Seeing that Lin Qing had finished collecting his spoils, Yun Yun anxiously stepped forward to help Yun Shan, who had fallen onto the prayer mat, to his feet and hurriedly asked him what was wrong.

Just now, when Lin Qing pointed her finger at her teacher's brow, she was very anxious. You know, the brow is the most fatal place on the human body. It is where the soul resides. In the Dou Qi Continent, even if the physical body is destroyed, there is still a chance to start over.

However, if the soul is also destroyed, then we can only wait another eighteen years!

Fortunately, Lin Qing is a person of his word and did not harm his teacher.

"I'm fine, Yun'er, you!"

Yun Shan stood straight, and couldn't help but sigh. How could he not see that the one who brought Lin Qing here was his good disciple?

At this moment, Yun Shan had lost his previous high spirits and greed, and suddenly seemed to have aged more than ten years, with endless bitterness and regret filling his heart.

Now he not only has to face the behemoth that is the Green Emperor Pavilion, but also the questioning from the Soul Hall in the future. He is not stupid, and neither are the people of the Soul Hall. He does not believe that the people will have no reaction at all if a Protector dies in the Misty Cloud Sect.

If the Soul Hall or Lin Qing were to become enraged, the Misty Cloud Sect would face annihilation.

As his thoughts raced, he realized he still had a chance of survival. After all, if Lin Qing wanted to kill him, he would have done so long ago, just like that Protector Wu who vanished into thin air.

The fact that they didn't kill him directly proves that he has some value. If he has value, he can survive. Now, the only way is to cling to Lin Qing Misty Cloud Sect survives.

Faced with the teacher's sigh, Yun Yun lowered her head, biting her red lips with her pearly teeth, like a child who had made a mistake.

"Yun Shan, you must know very well that there's no such thing as a free lunch. I understand your desire to break through to the Dou Zong realm and revitalize the Misty Cloud Sect. But the Soul Hall is infamous in the Central Plains Continent, specializing in instigating wars and harvesting souls. They also control their lackeys through various means. Associating with them is like asking a tiger for its skin. If I didn't want to cause too much bloodshed, and if your Misty Cloud Sect still had some use, plus Yun Yun begged me, do you think I would have come to save you?" Lin Qing said with a smile, looking at Yun Shan's changing expression.

"Also, don't think you're out of the woods now! Your soul was sabotaged by the Soul Hall, which is why I just sealed your soul and Dou Qi. I was afraid you'd be devoured by Protector Wu. If this isn't dealt with, anyone from the Soul Hall could easily steal your soul in the future."

Hearing Lin Qing speak, Yun Yun raised her head, looked at him, and gave him a gentle smile. She then bowed slightly and said, "Thank you very much, Master Lin! Please continue to treat my teacher, Master Lin!"

"Don't worry, but you also need to keep your promise!"

In response to Yun Yun's gratitude, Lin Qing nodded slightly. He was a man of his word, and he would do his best to fulfill any promises he made to others.

However, he deserved such gratitude. Without him, even if Yun Shan wasn't killed by him, he would have been killed by Xiao Yan or the Soul Hall.

However, to unravel the hidden trap in Yun Shan's soul, Yun Shan's cooperation is still needed.

"Teacher, I just want you and the sect to be well!" Yun Yun explained softly to Yun Shan.

"So what was the price you paid for saving me?" Yun Shan asked, frowning as he looked at the handsome young man before him.

After saying this, Yun Shan glanced at Yun Yun again.

Such a price would likely be considerable. He couldn't understand what their Misty Cloud Sect possessed that could persuade an Eighth-Rank Alchemist to take action. Could it be that they had taken a liking to Yun'er?

That would be fine too! As for how many women Master Lin has around him, as long as he doesn't let Yun'er down, that's all that matters!

As Yun Yun's master, Yun Shan, who hadn't completely turned to the dark side, also hoped that Yun Yun would have a bright future.

"It's nothing! I just established a force, and the condition for saving you is that your Misty Cloud Sect joins." Lin Qing, unaware of Yun Shan's strange idea, told the truth.

Hearing Lin Qing say this, Yun Shan was somewhat disappointed.

Joining is fine, though. Even though the Misty Cloud Sect will disappear in the future, there will be no casualties in the sect, so it's good that I can live a good life.

Seeing Yun Shan's dejected look, Lin Qing glanced at Yun Shan and Yun Yun, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. Yun Yun Yaoye just like that back then.

If he shows even the slightest interest, or says something like, "You don't want XX to get into trouble, do you?" they'll swarm around him like sharks smelling blood.

Do the people of the Dou Qi Continent have some kind of peculiar quirk?

Ouch! Lin Qing couldn't help but shudder at the thought. It seems boys need to protect themselves too!

Actually, it's not just Lin Qing; anyone who is good-looking, talented, and strong will generally receive this treatment, although it's rare for someone to meet all of these criteria at the same time.

"Sect Master Yun Yun, please help your teacher sit down! I'll remove the seal for him and eliminate the hidden dangers!" Lin Qing said hurriedly.

"Okay!" Yun Yun quickly helped Yun Shan sit down cross-legged again.

Lin Qing walked up to Yun Shan, formed a few hand seals, and then released a burst of Dou Qi, gently patting Yun Shan's chest.

After the Dou Qi entered Yun Shan's chest, Yun Shan's sealed cultivation and soul returned to normal.
