Chapter 1068

Puchi!

In the next moment, Xiao Yan unsurprisingly spat blood and flew backward.

After all, there was indeed a full four-turn gap between him and his opponent.

Without using any other means, how could he possibly defeat him?

Hehe, kid, dying at the hands of this sect master is also your honor!

Seeing the former fly backward, the middle-aged man in a dark green robe immediately rejoiced, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting as he revealed a cruel smile.

However, upon catching sight of the blackness on his hand, he immediately wondered: 'Strange, according to the intel gathered, this kid's strange fire shouldn't be golden, so why is it dark gray now? Moreover, the power of this strange fire seems overly strong. Even with a four-turn gap in Dou Qi strength, could it still hurt me?'

No wonder his strength is so great; he turns out to be the sect master of the Heavenly Dark Sect.

Hearing that, Xiao Yan, who had been blown several li away and barely stabilized his form, couldn't help but a look of realization appear on his face.

Before, he had been puzzled as to why this green-robed man's strength was so great.

But if he is the sect master of the Heavenly Dark Sect, then it's not surprising.

However, thinking that the opponent was one of the main culprits behind the Flower Sect massacre, Xiao Yan's face instantly turned a dark green.

Back when the Flower Sect still existed, its acting sect master, Hua Jin, had helped him quite a lot.

Thinking of how Hua Jin is now locked by the opponent in the Heavenly Dark Sect's square, subjected to humiliation, the fury in Xiao Yan's eyes almost turned into substantive flames, wanting to burn the opponent to death.

The Heavenly Dark Sect sect master sensed his gaze, immediately lifted his head, and with an evil smile said: 'Kid, we seemingly have no deep grudge, why do you look at me like that?'

Hmph, you don't need to know.

Hearing that, Xiao Yan let out a cold snort from his throat, then reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

While speaking, his hands quickly formed a series of strange seals.

Accompanying the formation of those seals, a strange clan pattern slowly appeared on Xiao Yan's forehead.

Boom!

At the same moment, as that clan pattern appeared, Xiao Yan's strength suddenly surged.

In the blink of an eye, his strength rapidly rose from five-turn Dou Zun to a level not inferior to that of the Heavenly Dark Sect sect master.

What the heck is this, a heaven-tier secret method to boost strength? It actually increased his strength by four turns!

Sensing that the former had instantly leapt from five-turn Dou Zun to the nine-turn Dou Zun realm, the Heavenly Dark Sect sect master's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stood stunned on the spot.

Although he had seen secret methods that temporarily boost strength, those methods generally have little effect on Dou Zun powerhouses.

Yet the opponent surged four turns in an instant, which probably already surpasses low-level heaven-tier secret methods!

Of course, the shocked ones are not just him, but also Xiao Yan himself who displayed the clan pattern.

The first time he displayed the clan pattern, sensing the Dou Qi within him that had never been so full before, Xiao Yan couldn't help but extend his arm and clench it, delighted: 'I never expected my Xiao clan's divine-grade clan pattern to be this powerful, able to instantly add four turns of strength even to a rank-transforming Dou Zun!'

With the clan pattern's boost, his confidence surged as well, and he laughed loudly: 'Old bamboo pole, did you have fun earlier?'

Now our strengths are equal; let's see who is stronger.

While speaking, Xiao Yan gripped his giant ruler with a cold expression, pointing it directly at the Heavenly Dark Sect sect master.

Yellow-mouthed brat, spouting nonsense!

Hearing the opponent call him an old bamboo pole and act so arrogantly in his presence, the Heavenly Dark Sect sect master instantly flew into a rage.

Releasing his Dou Qi without reservation, amidst the chilling Dou Qi mist, he forcefully pushed off with his right foot and lunged violently at Xiao Yan.

As for the latter, backed by the Dou Qi within him that had never been so full before, he likewise did not yield in the slightest.

At that moment, as he moved his giant ruler, blazing dark-gray flames immediately engulfed the black profound-heavy ruler, and his figure likewise shot forward to meet him head-on!

Meanwhile, as the forces of Xiao Yan, the Heavenly Dark Sect, the Pill Tower, and the Soul Hall in the borderlands between the Central and Eastern Regions were fiercely fighting, Lin Feng on the other side had safely returned home.

However, just as his front foot touched the ground, Green Scale hurriedly ran over.

Yo, little miss, you truly never leave the young master's side. I've just reached eight-turn Dou Zun by absorbing strange fire, while you've absorbed those eighth-rank serpentine magic beasts to reach seven-turn Dou Zun.

Seeing Green Scale, Lin Feng immediately smiled and teased.

Hearing that, Green Scale gave him an annoyed glance and then said irritably: 'Young master, do you know that during your seclusion, the Pill Tower suffered a large-scale attack by the Soul Hall; everyone in the many branch towers, including the alchemists, was slaughtered by the Soul Hall and their souls were then extracted.'

Now, the Pill Tower and the Soul Hall are on the brink of full-scale war.

What? The Soul Hall launched a large-scale attack on the Pill Tower?!

Upon suddenly hearing this news from the girl, Lin Feng's expression drastically changed.

At the same time, the smile on his face vanished completely in an instant, leaving only a look of stark shock.

Immediately afterward, he solemnly gazed at Green Scale and asked: 'So now, is there any movement between the Pill Tower and the Soul Hall?'

Regarding the Pill Tower side, not long ago Zhao Ran Elder Sister, the Dan family, the Cao family, the Ye family, Elder Hou, and others sent word that Xuan Kong Zi had suddenly convened an elder meeting, saying the Pill Tower couldn't just let people bully it and must retaliate against the Soul Hall's earlier actions; half a day ago he had already taken more than thirty Pill Tower powerhouses to the eastern direction of the Central Region.

Speaking, Green Scale helplessly shrugged his shoulders and continued: 'However, since Xuan Kong Zi has already advanced to the Half Saint Realm and is also an eighth-grade peak alchemist, his soul power is formidable, so I didn't dare send magic beasts to tail him.'

Xuan Kong Zi broke through to the Half Saint Realm?

Hearing that, Lin Feng's face immediately showed some surprise.

Although he knew from the original work that Xuan Kong Zi would break through to the Half Saint Realm in recent years.

But he never expected it to happen so quickly.

However, thinking that the opponent had gone to the eastern part of the Central Region within Zhongzhou, he muttered softly: 'But is the eastern part of the Central Region the Eastern Region?'

Upon thinking this, Lin Feng's face showed a hint of doubt.

Through various means, he had already learned the locations of most of the Soul Hall's branch halls in Zhongzhou.

As for the direction of the eastern Central Region, according to his knowledge, there seems to be no major branch hall there?

Could it be that destroying a small branch hall guarded by only two low-rank Dou Zun would require the Pill Tower to mobilize over thirty Dou Zun powerhouses plus a Half Saint powerhouse?

Wait, it's been about seven months since the Ancient Clan's coming-of-age ceremony; the Tian Mu seemed to have opened a month ago.

But then, as if something had just occurred to him, he suddenly looked again at Green Scale and asked: 'Green Scale, what's the situation with the Soul Hall side?'

Young master, according to the magical beasts I sent out to monitor the Soul Hall's branch hall, I learned that several days ago, the Soul Hall suddenly gathered many strong experts and headed to the east of the Central Region.

Having said that, Qing Lin let out a sigh and continued: "However, since my magic beast is only eighth rank, I dare not get too close to observe. So I know the other side gathered over twenty people, and then those people went to the eastern part of the Central Region. As for what exactly they are doing, I don't know for now."

While speaking, Qing Lin immediately lowered her head, somewhat disappointed, feeling very lost in her heart.

If she were stronger, she could control more powerful magic beasts, and perhaps then she could help her young master uncover the specific movements of the Soul Hall.

However, after hearing Qing Lin's account, Lin Feng's face lit up with excitement as he picked up this girl.

Immediately afterward, he fiercely kissed her slender, fair neck, face, and pink lips several times.

"Little girl, you've done well. Now I finally understand why Xuan Kongzi did what he did!"

As soon as his words fell, he eagerly looked at Qing Lin and said: "Qing Lin, do you have anything else?"

"If not, we'll set off right away to see if we can eliminate some enemies, hehe"

Having said that, Lin Feng couldn't help but let out a cold chuckle.

Back then, those three guys almost got him killed.

Earlier, the other side had been inside the Pill Tower, and he had no way to act.

And now, isn't this a rare opportunity?

"Ah?"

After hearing Lin Feng say a lot, Qing Lin, who still hadn't figured it out, stared blankly for a while, then slowly uttered this word from her pink lips still wet with Lin Feng's saliva.

Seeing this, Lin Feng, annoyed, pinched the other's delicate face covered with his own kiss marks, and explained irritably: "The Soul Hall went to the Eastern Region ahead of time; afterward, Xuan Kongzi hastily brought people there. And a month ago was the day the Tian Mu opened—this clearly shows the Soul Hall went to ambush Xiao Yan, then the other side called for help, prompting Xuan Kongzi to act in this way."

"Oh, I get it now. The Soul Hall and the Pill Tower have gathered in the Eastern Region; surely a big battle will erupt around Xiao Yan. Young master, you want to see if there's a chance to kill that Xuan Kongzi, don't you!"

Hearing that explanation, Qing Lin finally understood his intention.

Thinking about how the other side dared to repeatedly attack her young master, this girl angrily took Lin Feng's hand and said: "Young master, let's go; that Xuan Kongzi is truly terrible—we absolutely cannot let him off this time!"

As she spoke, Qing Lin's emerald-green eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light.

Immediately afterward, the Half-Saint-level Nine Nether Earth Abyss Python was released by her.

"Quick, construct the spatial channel to the Eastern Region!"

As soon as the Nine Nether Earth Abyss Python revealed its form, Qing Lin impatiently commanded.

"Yes."

Facing her request, the Nine Nether Earth Abyss Python stiffly nodded its head, then began to construct the spatial channel according to her instructions.

Seeing the girl's eager appearance, Lin Feng also couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
