On the plaza of the Yunlan Sect, the emotions of the crowd were quite turbulent. First, the young sect master of the Yunlan Sect, Nalan Yanran, and Xiao Yan of the Xiao family both unleashed auras no weaker than ordinary Dou Ling.
Then, the two used powerful secret techniques, and the final strike they unleashed could even severely injure a Dou Wang expert if they were not careful, which greatly shocked everyone.
It should be noted that even among the ten strongest experts of the Jia Ma Empire, several of the lowest-ranked were Dou Wang experts. After the fierce clash, it was Xiao Yan who miraculously won with the Fire Lotus he had miraculously fused with.
Everyone thought the three-year agreement had come to an end, but unexpectedly, the previous sect master of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Shan, emerged from seclusion and detained Xiao Yan, thus changing the situation. The mysterious black mist figure that appeared afterward shocked everyone even more; this was yet another Dou Zong expert.
"Senior Yunshan, it seems Xiao Yan has no obligation to tell you the origin of this strange fire!"
Just as everyone was waiting to see the show, an unexpected figure slowly appeared before them.
"Master Lin Feng, please forgive me, but today this young friend Xiao Yan must reveal the origin of this strange fire!"
Yunshan was slightly polite to the number one alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire, but also refused decisively.
"Hehehe, Yunshan, this protector dislikes your hypocritical appearance. Lin Feng, is it? Today, not only Xiao Yan, but even you will have to obediently surrender!"
At this moment, the protector Lu, hidden in the black mist, spoke again, his words extremely arrogant.
"Yunshan, make your move! If you help me capture these people today, I will definitely elevate you to the intermediate Dou Zong realm."
"Master Lin Feng, young friend Xiao Yan, since that's the case, why don't you two accompany Protector Lu?"
"Old ghost Yunshan, Master Lin Feng saved my life. Today, with Hai Bodong here, I won't let you have your way!"
"Lin Feng is a guest elder of my Alchemist Guild, and he cannot be easily manipulated!"
"..."
Just as Yunshan and Protector Lu were about to make their move, Hai Bodong and the others, who had been observing, spread their wings and flew towards the center of the plaza, standing firmly in front of Lin Feng.
"Thank you all. After this, if you need any pills refined, just let me know!"
"Hahaha, Master Lin Feng, you're too kind. I've been waiting for you to say that."
Hearing Lin Feng's promise, Hai Bodong laughed heartily. Having already reached the eight-star Dou Huang level, he also harbored a wild ambition. "Perhaps, I, Hai Bodong, will one day be known as the Ice Sect Master!"
"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you. Yun Shan, make your move!"
"My old friends, it seems I'll have to see your progress today!"
As Yun Shan finished speaking, a dazzling light flashed from his hand, the very same Wind Extreme - Sunset Radiance that Nalan Yanran had just used! The same move, used by different people, had vastly different power.
"Master Lin Feng, leave Yun Shan to us!"
"Mysterious Ice Dragon Soars!"
Just as Lin Feng was about to intervene, Hai Bodong and the others struck, intercepting Yun Shan's fighting technique. Afterwards, Yun Shan, Hai Bodong, and the others led the battlefield outside the Yunlan Sect, leaving only Protector Lu, Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, and the others in the original location.
As for Yun Yun, she had already silently disappeared from the plaza when Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran's final match began. Only a few elders, including Yun Leng, remained from the Yunlan Sect. Seeing this, Lin Feng made a plan in his mind.
"It seems Yunshan must have informed Yunyun of the plan, and these elders, Yunling, seem to have been controlled by Protector Lu and abandoned by Yunshan!"
Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but admire Yunshan's decisiveness. In order not to expose the plan, several Dou Wang level elders were abandoned by him.
"Elder Yao, make your move!"
"Sigh."
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, a sigh slowly came from Xiao Yan's storage ring. Immediately afterwards, an old soul slowly emerged. It was none other than Yao Zun Zhe Yao Chen!
"Hehehe, Yao Chen, today this protector has really struck it rich. As long as I complete the mission of capturing you, this protector will have a chance to become a high-level Dou Zong!"
Seeing the mission target appear in the hall, Protector Lu was overjoyed. What surprised him even more was that Yao Chen's aura was only at the Dou Huang level. He had really hit the jackpot today.
"Elder Yao, make your move! We'll split this guy's soul essence between us!"
Just as Protector Lu was still laughing maniacally, and the black mist trembled, Lin Feng secretly set up a Five Elements Barrier around the Yunlan Sect plaza. He then summoned Yao Tianhuo and secretly transmitted his information about Protector Lu.
In Lin Feng's hand, a soul body slowly appeared—it was Yao Tianhuo!
"Elder Yao, Elder Yao, let's all use our trump cards to kill Protector Lu in one blow!"
Upon receiving Lin Feng's transmission, Yao Tianhuo and Yao Chen nodded almost imperceptibly. Meanwhile, in the black mist above the plaza, Protector Lu continued to laugh wildly.
"Five Wheels of Fire Technique!"
"Five Elements Seal—Five Saints' Ultimate Kill!"
"Flame Dividing Wave Ruler!"
Three consecutive shouts rang out, startling Protector Lu from his sweet dream. Seeing the terrifying attack descending, his face showed fear. Before it could retaliate, the attack, accompanied by three streams of strange fire, struck it hard!
A deafening
roar followed, and the Heron Protector, who had only uttered a few harsh words upon his appearance, was blasted into dust, the black mist billowing in the sky dissipating as well.
"Trying to run!"
Just then, Lin Feng swiftly launched an attack towards an open space not far away, while Yao Tianhuo and Yao Chen's expressions remained unchanged, as if they had expected it.
"Lin Feng, you dare kill this protector! The Soul Palace will not let you get away with this!"
The scream abruptly stopped; the Heron Protector had already been sealed inside a jade bottle by Lin Feng. After sealing it with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Lin Feng stored it in his storage ring.
"Master Yao, Junior Brother Xiao Yan, it seems the Soul Hall has already set its sights on you. Even if Protector Lu didn't manage to relay the message back to the Soul Hall, with Master Yao appearing in front of everyone today, it won't be long before the Soul Hall sends experts to arrest you!"
Xiao Yan, who had been beaming with joy after subduing Protector Lu, froze upon hearing Lin Feng's words. He turned to his master, only to see his master's face was also grave.
"In my opinion, Junior Brother Xiao Yan's only course of action now is to head to Canaan Academy as soon as possible. Once there, even the Soul Hall wouldn't dare risk offending the academy's former dean by arresting Master Yao."
"It seems that's the only way!"
