In the shadows, a wisp of black mist condensed slightly, and then chuckled, 'Hehehe, interesting, interesting!'
'The Queen Medusa, who shakes the Northwest Continent, is actually a member of my Hall of Souls, and has even captured the Young Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan in advance!'
That black mist was none other than Protector Wu of the Hall of Souls.
Protector Wu was already a Five-Star Dou Zong, and furthermore, the Hall of Souls was inherently adept at Soul Power.
Therefore, if he concentrated on hiding, he would naturally not be discovered by Medusa and the others.
'Three-Star Dou Zong, Heavenly Flame Serpent Body; hehehe, an average Four-Star Dou Zong is probably no match for her.'
'If she could use the Heavenly Flame, I am afraid even I would find it somewhat troublesome.'
'With this level of strength, it is not strange for her to join my Hall of Souls and become a Protector.'
Protector Wu's Soul Power was a cut above Medusa's, so he could naturally see through her strength.
People like Yun Yun and Jia Xingtian still only thought that Medusa was a One-Star Dou Zong.
However, Protector Wu did not leave directly, but continued to lurk on the side, observing the situation.
He had originally wanted to come over to see what kind of strength Queen Medusa had and what the situation with the Alliance was, in order to scout out the situation for future work.
As a result, who knew he would run into a newly appointed colleague.
A Protector of the Hall of Souls must be at least at the Dou Zong Rank.
Even if you were a Peak Dou Huang, you could only be a Soul Emissary, equivalent to a lowly soldier in an army.
Although a Protector only had a little more authority, it had already become the pursuit of many people.
After all, the Dou Huang to Dou Zong transition is a hurdle, and a Dou Zong can briefly come into contact with Spatial Power.
Therefore, the status of a Soul Emissary and a Protector was absolutely worlds apart.
Unless you were an Alchemist, or possessed some other special ability, perhaps you could be promoted to the Protector level as an exception.
Among the Protectors, they were further divided into Heaven, Earth, and Human grades; the main theme was layer-upon-layer outsourcing.
Therefore, Protector Wu naturally assumed that Queen Medusa had joined the Hall of Souls only after breaking through to Dou Zong.
Or, like the Puppet Yun Shan whom he supported, Medusa had broken through to Dou Zong with the help of the Hall of Souls.
Regardless of which situation it was, she was one of the Hall of Souls' own.
However, based on the strength Medusa displayed, Protector Wu felt that there was a high possibility it was the former.
After all, the Hall of Souls helping experts break through came at the cost of overdrawing the other party's own potential, forcing them to break through.
Just like Yun Shan in the original work, who only barely broke through to Dou Zong with the help of the Hall of Souls.
This old guy couldn't even beat Medusa when she didn't even have a physical body at the time and only had the strength of a One-Star Dou Zong.
At that time, Medusa shared a body with Little Cai, so the strength she could unleash was definitely discounted.
From this, one could see how much 'water' there was in Yun Shan's Dou Zong strength.
And now, Protector Wu could see that the Dou Qi on Medusa's body was solid; it clearly did not look like it was raised by forcing growth.
'Hehehe, Queen Medusa, you are very suitable for my Hall of Souls!'
Protector Wu, while observing from the shadows, laughed strangely and whispered in praise:
'The Xiao Clan's Young Clan Leader just helped you break through, and you took advantage of her weakness to capture her, and then joined the Hall of Souls...'
'Hehehe, very promising! This kind of 'eat everything and wipe clean' style, you are simply too suitable for our Hall of Souls!'
Protector Wu felt that he had already guessed the truth.
Even he admired Medusa's methods.
Now that Xiao Xue had fallen into Medusa's hands, the experts of the Pill Tower would inevitably be afraid to act rashly.
Moreover, even if the other party attacked, Medusa could use the communication jade token to summon a few Elder Zuns from the Hall of Souls.
In any case, Medusa now held the initiative and could be said to be in an invincible position.
'Wonderful!' Protector Wu couldn't help but exclaim.
Borrowing the other party's power to successfully evolve, then directly backstabbing them, and using this as a springboard to join the Hall of Souls and become a Protector.
Step by step, ring after ring, one ring interlocking with another!
This woman's schemes and methods were truly terrifying!
If Medusa continued to act like this, she might not be unable to end up as an Elder Zun, or even a Heavenly Zun in the Hall of Souls!
If Xiao Xue knew what he was thinking, she would only support her forehead with her hand and say: 'The power of overthinking is truly terrifying!'
After all, if Medusa could summon people to fight against her so-called 'teacher';
Then she wouldn't have had to make such a big fanfare to put on this act.
Protector Wu was wildly imagining things over here, while Yun Yun and the others were completely stunned when they saw the token in Medusa's hand.
These people from the Jia Ma Empire, who had basically never been abroad, naturally did not know of the existence of the Hall of Souls, and had not even heard of it.
However, although they didn't know what the token Medusa took out meant, no one was foolish enough to go up and ask.
The Cloud Mist Sect and the Xiao Family did not have much interaction.
And the help that the Royal Family and the Alchemist Guild could bring to the Xiao Family was definitely not as good as that of Medusa, a Dou Zun, and the Snake-People Empire.
Therefore, although they did not get the token, the people from the Jia Ma side also made it reasonable through their own imagination.
Moreover, thinking that with such a background, Medusa would not dare to do anything to Xiao Xue.
After confirming Xiao Xue's situation, Yun Yun, Hai Bodong, Nalan Jie, and the others finally set their minds at ease.
Then, both sides began to discuss the matter of the Alliance.
