182: The young lady recognized by Xun'er

“Who!?”

“Who is it?!”

Protector Wu and Iron Protector’s expressions changed drastically, and they leaned back to back, vigilantly looking around.

As Dou Zongs, and Hall of Souls’s Dou Zongs at that, they had not detected anyone around them at all.

Moreover, that person even called himself ‘this Venerable’.

Could it be a Dou Venerate expert!?

Hmm!?

Their Soul perception slightly registered something, and they simultaneously turned their heads to look to one side.

They saw a crack simultaneously appearing an inch in front of them, from which silver chains wrapped in flames shot out, directly piercing towards their chests!

“How dare you!”

Iron Protector and Protector Wu simultaneously moved to block.

However, the energy barriers and spatial Seals they created were like tofu in front of those chains, offering not the slightest resistance.

The chains pierced into their bodies with overwhelming force, and the bone-white flames instantly enveloped their entire bodies, wrapping their Soul bodies.

The next moment, a crack appeared in space, and a young man with bone-white light in his eyes walked out from it, the silver chains precisely shooting out from within his body, emitting a illusory light.

“These chains…”

Iron Protector and Protector Wu’s expressions sank.

They felt these chains were somewhat familiar.

But the rapidly draining power within their bodies, as well as the oppressive sealing force, made their thoughts chaotic.

“That’s right, these chains come from the Hall of Souls.”

The young man slowly spoke, his voice carrying a depth unbefitting his age: “I didn’t expect to be able to kill someone from the Hall of Souls so quickly.”

“The chains Chu Xiao gave are indeed useful; I can feel your Souls being refined and becoming my aid.”

He felt that by killing a few more Hall of Souls Protectors, his Soul state could recover to its Peak.

Perhaps by killing a thousand, he could attempt to break through to the Heaven Realm.

If he could kill Dou Venerate-level Hall of Souls experts, his improvement would certainly be very fast.

Once his Soul reached the Heaven Realm, he wouldn’t need to worry about it dissipating for the next hundred years, and his combat power could rival experts around the Three-Star Dou Venerate level.

“You!”

Iron Protector and Protector Wu wanted to say something, but they couldn’t speak.

The two tried to send a message, but found that their storage rings had already been snatched by this “kid” opposite them.

Just then, three figures broke through space and arrived not far away.

“Young Master Xiao Yan?” Ling Ying cupped his fists in greeting.

“Xiao Yan?” Yun Shan, who was about to greet him, looked bewildered.

He was currently responsible for teaching Nalan Yanran, so he naturally knew who Xiao Yan was.

The Genius Third Young Master of the Xiao Family, whose cultivation had regressed for three years due to unknown reasons, but whose talent had now recovered and surpassed his past, and Chu Xiao’s cousin.

But no matter how strong his talent, there had to be a limit. Now he was strong enough to suppress two Hall of Souls Protectors alone. Wasn’t this a bit too much of a Prodigy?

No matter how powerful he, Yun Shan, was, he couldn’t make Nalan Yanran comparable to a Dou Zong expert two and a half years later.

Would he have to go himself then?

He would probably be suppressed too.

“No, this shouldn’t be his own power.”

Yun Shan suddenly realized, and cupped his hands towards Xiao Yan: “I am Yun Shan, greetings, Senior.”

“You are quite clever.” Yao Chen, temporarily controlling Xiao Yan’s body, nodded slightly: “This Venerable is Xiao Yan’s teacher, and also a Third-Rank Enshrined Elder of Soaring Heavens Pavilion. You may call this Venerable Yao Chen.”

Third-Rank Enshrined Elder was an identity Yao Chen had discussed and requested with Chu Xiao.

This Venerable?

Yun Shan’s eyelids twitched slightly.

In other words, Xiao Yan’s teacher was a Dou Venerate.

Regardless of how many stars of Dou Venerate, even a One-Star would easily defeat him, a One-Star Dou Zong.

Plus, there was the support of resources and Cultivation Techniques given by Chu Xiao, that Prodigy.

At the time of the Three-Year Agreement, how could Nalan Yanran win?

No wonder he was so generous, saying he could give a Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill.

“Senior Yao Chen, do you need us to do anything?”

Cai Lin’s cold gaze swept over Iron Protector and Protector Wu.

“These two don’t need to be managed.” Yao Chen turned his head to look at the Void Realm to one side: “There is one over there, though. You all should work together to trap him first, and I will deal with him once I am free.”

Boom!

The moment Yao Chen’s voice fell, Ling Ying was the first to act, transforming into a shadow and darting out.

The Void Realm vibrated, and a hunched, white-haired, gloomy-faced old man appeared, emitting terrifying poisonous Qi around him.

“Xie Bi Yan!”

Cai Lin and Yun Shan recognized the other party’s identity at a glance.

A notorious veteran expert from the Izumo Empire, who had defeated Hai Bodong in a battle against a Jia Ma Empire expert years ago, but was slightly at a disadvantage when fighting Jia Xingtian, and had also fought with Queen Medusa who had just inherited the Clan Chief position. He was currently the Grand Elder of the Myriad Scorpions Sect.

“A Three-Star Dou Zong, and a Poison Master!” Yao Chen slowly spoke: “It won’t be a problem for you to temporarily hold him back for a while.”

Not Peak Four-Star Dou Zong?

Medusa was slightly surprised; she remembered Chu Xiao mentioning Xie Bi Yan in his notes.

After Xiao Yi Xian went to the Izumo Empire, she founded the Poison Sect and became the Heavenly Poisonous Woman, quickly annexing various forces and controlling the imperial family, with only Xie Bi Yan leading his people to remain independent.

However, on second thought, this was nearly seven years later, so it was reasonable for Xie Bi Yan to have grown further by then.

“Boom!”

Although she was thinking, Medusa’s movements were not slow, and she used a Dou Technique to rush forward.

Currently, the Cultivation Technique and Dou Techniques she cultivated were Earth Rank, and her true form was a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

Although her cultivation was only One-Star Dou Zong, she was not at all afraid of Xie Bi Yan, with every move being fierce.

“Thankfully, Yun'er taught me the complete version of the Wind Extremity Sword Skill, and the Old Ancestor’s Earth Rank Cultivation Technique.”

“Otherwise, this Zong would seem very weak!”

Yun Shan felt fortunate in his heart, and raised his hand to begin condensing Sword Intent.

“Xie Bi Yan, this Zong never fought you back then, today I’ll make up for it.”

“Don’t be so arrogant!”

Xie Bi Yan: “…”

Families, who understands?

I just sensed a strange Dou Zong aura appearing here and came to take a look.

As a result, I was met with a group beating by three Dou Zong experts.

Being beaten up was one thing, but they also called him arrogant.

He was clearly just a poor little thing!

“This Zong surrenders.”

“This Zong is willing to surrender.”

Although Ling Ying, Medusa, and Yun Shan were all only One-Star Dou Zongs, the Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques they cultivated were not weak.

Even one-on-one, they were not inferior to Xie Bi Yan, let alone the current righteous group beating.

Seeing “Xiao Yan” completely deal with the two Hall of Souls Protectors and free up his hands.

Xie Bi Yan decisively decided to surrender.

He hadn’t lived enough; he didn’t want to die for no clear reason.

“Young Miss, a Three-Star Dou Zong is a considerable combat force, should we spare his life?” Ling Ying asked Cai Lin.

Young Miss Xun'er had specifically instructed him before she left.

She said that his attitude towards Queen Medusa should be the same as his attitude towards Young Miss Xun'er.

“Young Miss Xun'er, that girl!”

[Cai Lin (Letter)] : Young Miss?

[Xun'er (Letter)] : Is there a problem?

[Cai Lin] : You are quite generous.

[Xun'er] : In front of Brother Chu Xiao, I can’t win.

[Cai Lin] : Then call me Sister and let me hear it.

[Xun'er] : I feel like eating snake soup tonight, I wonder if there are any living Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Pythons in the Central Plains.

[Cai Lin] :

Cai Lin’s ears turned red, and she spoke with feigned calmness: “Senior Yao Chen, do you want to take his life?”

“No need.” Yao Chen felt that Xie Bi Yan’s Soul Realm was average, and said: “If you have a way to control him, then spare his life, lest he cause trouble later.”

As he spoke, Yao Chen released the Bone Chilling Flame, forming a special spatial Seal.

To avoid being discovered by the Hun Clan, he was controlling Xiao Yan’s body to act, with his strength roughly at Six-Star Dou Zong, rather than his Peak Dou Zong state as a spirit body.

But with the Bone Chilling Flame’s enhancement and his proficiency in some high-level Dou Zong abilities, his combat power could rival Eight-Star and Nine-Star Dou Zongs.

Xie Bi Yan shivered, looking at Queen Medusa with anticipation.

Please have a way to control people, otherwise my life will be gone.

“I have the Snake Seal that Chu Xiao helped me improve.”

Medusa formed hand Seals, condensing a small seven-colored energy snake in the Void Realm.

Xie Bi Yan’s heart relaxed, and he actively flew to the small seven-colored energy snake, allowing it to shoot into his glabella and transform into a snake-shaped mark.

“Now, with a single thought, I can Seal your strength to only the Dou Wang level, or shatter your Soul.” Cai Lin warned.

“Yes, this Old Ancestor understands, this Old Ancestor will definitely be loyal!” Xie Bi Yan smiled brightly, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

It’s so good to have this Snake Seal mark; he doesn’t have to die.

“Yun Shan, Queen Medusa, are you and this Senior now part of the same force?”
