Chapter 152: Nie Yuan, who is targeted by the Soul Palace, is the Poison Sect's Little Medical Immortal?In Zhongzhou, in a mountain forest, stands a pitch-black palace.
This is the location of a certain soul palace.
A wisp of black smoke suddenly fell from the sky above the hall. When it approached the ground, the black smoke rolled and condensed into a human-shaped outline. The face was covered with black armor, revealing only a pair of red eyes.
"I have met the guardian."
"I have met the guardian."
Outside the main hall, several figures were patrolling. When they saw the black shadow approaching, they bowed their heads and saluted.
The guardian Wu hummed softly and walked towards the hall.
Suddenly thinking of something, he tilted his head and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is the Qinghai Venerable in the temple?"
"Here I am."
A guard answered.
Hearing this, Guardian Wu nodded and did not stop.
……
Deep in the hall.
In a spacious hall, there were two chairs, each with an old man sitting on it.
"How come Venerable Mu Gu has time to come to my place?"
The Qinghai Reverend was dressed in a black robe, but his hair was light blue.
Opposite him was an old man in a black robe. He looked ordinary, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.
"I happened to pass by while searching for the strange fire, so I came in to sit and see you."
Old man Mu Gu answered, with a hint of sadness flashing across his brows.
Qinghai smiled and asked, "Any news?"
Elder Mu Gu shook his head and sighed, "If something like strange fire was so easy to come across, it wouldn't be called a wonder of heaven and earth."
"With your strength, you should be at the eighth rank. It shouldn't be a problem for you to compete for the top ten in the alchemy conference."
Qinghai looked at him.
"That's not necessarily true. The Danhui is held every thirty years, and there are countless people participating each time, and there are countless powerful old monsters. If I were confident, I wouldn't be running around every few days."
Old man Mu Gu looked very helpless.
Because the Soul Palace assigned him a task, he needed to qualify to be in the top ten of the Alchemy Conference. Only those who ranked in the top ten of the Alchemy Conference could enter the star field and have the opportunity to see the Three Thousand Flames up close.
The Soul Palace had been in contact with the Three Thousand Flames before, and had discussed helping it escape.
Now the time is almost up.
In addition, Old Man Mu Gu also has some thoughts about winning the Danhui championship.
The Alchemy Competition Champion is considered the highest honor for all alchemists in Zhongzhou, and no alchemist would be indifferent to this honor.
What's more, that old guy Yao Chen had gotten it before. He and I are old rivals, so how could I be willing not to get it once?
"I'll try my best to help you keep an eye out, but if something like strange fire really appears, no one will be able to resist the temptation."
Qinghai promised.
"Thank you."
Old man Mu Gu nodded.
At this moment, they both looked towards the door, and the next second the figure of the guardian Wu walked out.
Being stared at by two pairs of eyes, the guardian Wu was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "Greetings to the Venerable Qinghai, and greetings to the Venerable Mugu."
Qinghai asked in confusion: "Why are you back? Is there any new progress at the Xiao family?"
Not long ago, the Guardian Wu completed his mission and left the Soul Palace. Calculating the time, he should have stayed in the Northwest Region for no more than two months since he came back.
"In reply to your words, Your Excellency, I came back this time to recommend someone to join the Soul Palace as a guardian."
The guardian Wu explained.
As the top force in Zhongzhou that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Danta, the Soul Palace has a strict internal hierarchy.
The highest position is the hall master, followed by the deputy hall master, the nine great celestial masters, various venerables, as well as the protectors and many members.
Among them, the Venerable is often a Dou Zun, who is in charge of the Soul Hall in each area. The Protectors can recruit members independently, but if they want to recruit a Protector, they need to get the approval of the Venerable first and complete the test.
Qinghai frowned: "A place like the Northwest Territory already has three guardians."
Compared with Zhongzhou, the Northwestern Region is more remote, and the strength of the forces there is generally not high, and even the strong ones are far inferior to those in Zhongzhou.
As for the Northwest Territory, we already have the Guardians Wu, Xuan and Tie, so there is no need to add one more.
Because the main task of the Soul Palace is to collect soul bodies, if the strength is not strong, the soul bodies will not be high either, and there is no need to add too many people.
"Protector Xuan is dead."
The guardian Wu replied.
"What? Who are you talking about? The Xuan Guardian in charge of the Black Horn Region died?"
Venerable Qinghai was a little surprised. He flipped his palm and took out a few jade slips.
Sure enough, the surface of one of the jade slips was full of cracks and dull.
"Who killed him? Han Feng? Or the people from Canaan College?"
Venerable Qinghai raised his head and looked at Dharma Protector Wu, and said seriously.
Guardian Wu shook his head, "Neither, it was one of my subordinates. Guardian Xuan accidentally kidnapped his people, and then he killed them. I arrived too late, and because there was a person missing, he was willing to take the initiative to take on the task of that area, but the guardian needs to be assessed first, so I came back to ask for your opinion."
"Han Feng? Which Han Feng? Is he Yao Chen's apprentice?"
Old man Mu Gu suddenly asked at this time.
Reverend Qinghai nodded, "Yes, it's him."
"That guy is quite smart. He knew Feng Xian was looking for him everywhere, so he knew to hide in the Black Horn Region in the northwest."
Elder Mu Gu was a little surprised. "After so many years, has he already become a threat to the Dharma Protector? He has made rapid progress."
As he spoke, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
however.
Old Man Mu Gu actually wanted to find out some information.
He and Yao Chen have a close relationship. They once entered a relic together to fight for treasures. Among the many treasures, there was a technique that left a deep impression on him.
That technique is based on strange fire. It can refine and devour strange fire and improve one's own strength. At the same time, the level of the technique can also be evolved.
Before, Han Feng colluded with the Soul Palace to assassinate Yao Chen, and it seemed that he had snatched this technique from Yao Chen. If he practiced it and his current strength is enough to threaten Dou Zong, perhaps he has some strange fire on him.
"It's not a threat. Han Feng has made many friends in the Black Horn Region with his own alchemy skills. He has some problems with his personal connections. He should only be at the Douhuang realm."
Qinghai replied and looked at the guardian of Zhongchaowu.
Guardian Wu took over the conversation, "Yes, Han Feng's strength is only at the peak of Douhuang."
But he immediately changed the subject, "He's also dead, killed by Nie Yuan. Oh, and Nie Yuan is the person I want to recommend to be the protector."
After meeting Nie Yuan at Protector Xuan's place, Protector Wu was shocked by Nie Yuan's strength and immediately withdrew.
However, Guardian Wu did not leave the Black Horn Region directly.
After not seeing each other for just over a year, the guardian Wu was very curious about Nie Yuan's strength enough to threaten him, so he secretly investigated in the Black Horn Region for a while.
Since Nie Yuan did not hide his name, many of his deeds were easily investigated.
This includes matters related to Canaan College.
"Han Feng is dead? Where is his soul? Also, I remember there seemed to be a kind of flame on his body."
Reverend Qinghai immediately asked.
Because Han Feng is not an ordinary alchemist, his talent and strength in alchemy are worthy of recognition.
It would definitely be a great achievement to accept such a person into the Soul Palace.
"What kind of flame is on Han Feng's body?"
asked old man Mu Gu.
Reverend Qinghai replied, "It is a blue flame. I am not sure if it is a strange fire."
He knew why old man Mu Gu was so anxious.
blue?
Old man Mu Gu, who had been leaning forward, sat up straight again, muttering something with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Your Excellency, Han Feng is still in Nie Yuan's hands."
The guardian Wu waited for the opportunity to answer and immediately said, "Why didn't you bring it back?"
Reverend Qinghai asked in a deep voice.
Doesn't he understand how valuable the soul of a high-level alchemist is? !
But when he saw the helpless look in the eyes of the protector Wu, he immediately understood.
Protector Xuan was killed by the man named Nie Yuan. Protector Wu said that the other party was his subordinate, and if he stretched out his hand to ask for it, he would catch up with Protector Xuan in the next second.
The Qinghai Reverend restrained his emotions and said, "Since Nie Yuan is willing to become a guardian, follow the normal assessment process. You will be responsible for it. When he passes the assessment, bring him to the Soul Palace. Then Han Feng's soul must be handed over, and it will be counted as his contribution."
"Yes."
The guardian Wu agreed.
Just as he was about to leave.
Venerable Qinghai asked again, "Is there any news about Yao Chen?"
Back then, Yao Chen escaped from the Soul Palace's siege with the help of his own strange fire. It just so happens that Mu Gu needs a strange fire now, so perhaps Mu Gu can help him get rid of Yao Chen.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, old man Mu Gu came back to his senses from his thoughts.
He looked at the Qinghai Reverend in astonishment, "You actually have information about Yao Chen's whereabouts?"
Qinghai explained: "I'm not sure, the guardian Wu is still investigating."
Elder Mu Gu immediately looked at the Protector Wu again.
"When I was tracking the Xiao family, I found that a kid named Xiao Yan in the Xiao family seemed to have a teacher who was excellent in alchemy. The teacher was a soul body. According to the information I collected, the teacher was good at using a kind of white strange fire, but I haven't had direct contact with him to determine whether it was Yao Chen or not."
The guardian Wu's words were very rigorous.
Yao Chen is highly valued in the Soul Palace. Once Yao Chen's whereabouts are confirmed, a large number of forces will be sent to capture him.
At the same time, whoever can catch Yao Chen will gain great benefits.
Protector Wu was planning to take it down on his own, or join forces with Nie Yuan.
"White flame? Could it be the Bone Spirit Cold Fire?"
Elder Mu Gu's eyes suddenly brightened, "Where is that person called Xiao Yan?"
"Xiao Yan is a student at Canaan College, but his whereabouts are unclear now."
The guardian Wu answered.
Elder Mu Gu frowned, "How can a student's whereabouts be unknown?"
"Not long ago, Han Feng organized a group of people to rush into the inner courtyard of Canaan College, trying to snatch the college's Fallen Heart Flame, but failed. A fight broke out afterwards, and Nie Yuan and Xiao Yan rushed into the bottom of the Sky Burning Refining Qi Tower together. In the end, only Nie Yuan came out. Xiao Yan's life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are also unclear. Canaan College has completely sealed the tower."
The guardian Wu replied.
Canaan Academy was heavily guarded, and with his strength, it was not difficult to break in, but he had to take into account Mang Tianchi, the founder of Canaan Academy.
If he is really angered and Mang Tianchi attacks the Soul Palace, then he, as a guardian, will definitely be killed in the end.
Old man Mu Gu fell into deep thought and said nothing.
These few words contained a huge amount of information to him.
First, Han Feng organized people to go to Canaan College to fight for the Fallen Heart Flame.
This means that he must have practiced the skills that Yao Chen got. Only in this way would he be so eager for the strange fire and willing to take huge risks to attack Canaan Academy.
He had heard a little about what Canaan College meant.
From another perspective, it also shows that the blue flame on Han Feng's body should be a strange fire, most likely the Sea Heart Flame ranked 15th.
Only if he possesses one kind of strange fire and practices the skills, can Han Feng try to grab the second kind of strange fire.
It is no secret on the mainland that different fires repel each other.
Even ordinary fighters understand this, so it is impossible for Han Feng, as an alchemist, not to know it.
At this moment, old man Mu Gu suddenly felt an urge to meet the guy named Nie Yuan.
"Reverend Qinghai, do you have any thoughts on Nie Yuan's test?"
Old man Mu Gu turned sideways and asked.
Upon hearing this, Reverend Qinghai was visibly stunned. It was just a guardian assessment. If he wanted to have any ideas, he just had to complete a Soul Palace mission.
He hesitated for a moment, "If Venerable Mu Gu has any good suggestions, please speak up."
The guardian Wu also looked at old man Mu Gu.
"I heard that something might happen to the Jade Sword Sect soon. There will probably be a lot of souls. Why not use this as a test for Nie Yuan?"
Said old man Mu Gu.
"Jade Sword Sect? Isn't that..."
A look of astonishment appeared on the face of Qinghai Venerable. He had also heard of this news. It was said that there was a Dou Zun named Tiejian Venerable who had a grudge with the Jade Sword Sect. He had set a time to fight a decisive battle with the Jade Sword Sect.
Letting a Dou Zong participate is more or less...
"It's just collecting souls."
Old man Mu Gu smiled.
"Okay, then let's use this as our assessment target."
Reverend Qinghai vaguely guessed what old man Mu Gu was thinking, but he did not point it out. Instead, he agreed directly. After all, there was no need to ruin the relationship between a Dou Zong and a Dou Zun because of a Dou Zong.
He looked at the guardian Wu, "Did you hear that?"
"Ah."
The guardian Wu nodded.
The Qinghai Reverend instructed: "Regarding the matter of the Jade Sword Sect, you should inform him as soon as possible in half a year, including the travel time from the Northwest Region. If he can complete the task, then the death of Protector Xuan will be written off and he can take over."
As for what the consequences of failure will be, there is no need to say more.
"Yes."
The guardian Wu agreed and turned to leave.
……
"The capital of the Izumo Empire is ahead. The Poison Sect is located in the center of a city called Sky Poison City."
On the back of the Warcraft, Yao Ye spoke to Nie Yuan beside him, gesturing with his fingers on the spread-out map and the city outline.
Ya Fei stood on the other side of Nie Yuan.
A transparent cover blocked the three people in front of them, so that the strong wind had no effect on their figures, and the wind noise did not affect their conversation.
Nie Yuan glanced at the map and looked at the two of them. "I need to go to the Poison Sect first, so we'll separate here."
"Well, yes."
Yaoye nodded.
Ya Fei looked at Nie Yuan, "Be careful. Although you are now a Dou Zong, the Poison Sect is famous for its poisons. Don't take it lightly."
"I am still an alchemist. You don't have to worry about me. You should be more careful. This demon beast will stay with you and protect you for the time being. After I deal with the Poison Sect, I will come back to you."
Nie Yuan smiled faintly.
Then, under the gaze of the two, Nie Yuan turned into a flash of fire and disappeared from the back of the monster. When he reappeared, he was already hundreds of meters away.
"Poison masters in the Izumo Empire are rampant, and their methods are insidious and cruel. Everyone must be more alert and must not take it lightly. I have a feeling that the trouble level of the Izumo Empire this time will be higher than when we went to Mulan and Jinyan Empire first!"
Yao Ye turned around and looked at the people on the backs of the monsters on both sides. His voice, which was wrapped in fighting spirit, spread with a hint of majesty and fell into the ears of others.
Everyone nodded with a serious look on their faces.
"Can Nie Yuan make the Poison Sect bow its head?"
Ya Fei asked in a low voice, worry in her eyes.
Yao Ye was startled, and thought for a while, "I'm not sure. There are no normal people in the Chuyun Empire, and the Poison Sect is a gathering place for poison masters. If we can't reach an agreement, I'm afraid Nie Yuan will directly destroy the Poison Sect."
“If we kill people like this, I’m afraid it will cause panic in the other two empires.”
Yafei sighed.
Both of them had heard Nie Yuan's vision. The other party hoped to intimidate with absolute strength, and then use gentle methods to gradually infiltrate the three surrounding empires over time.
As long as the Northwest Alliance survives, I believe that with the power of time, the four empires will eventually merge into one and become indistinguishable from each other.
Now, as long as they can defeat the last Poison Sect, the Izumo Empire will almost be smoothly incorporated into the Northwest Alliance.
……
"I don't know if Xiao Yixian has entered the Poison Sect yet. Yao Chen's ring contains the method of refining poison pills. I have strange fire and I am also an alchemist. I can solve her physical problems. The speed of cultivating the evil poison body is very fast. If Xiao Yixian can join the alliance and sit together with Medusa in the future, the Northwest Alliance will be basically stable."
Nie Yuan's thoughts were wandering, and as he got closer and closer to a city, he gradually regained his focus.
