Chapter 230: Yun Shan Seeks a Marriage

But no matter how angry he was, he had to hurry and halt his movement, lest he be struck by that sword ray.

However, the moment he stopped, the strange fire newly surged from Lin Feng's body swiftly sealed the gap in the fire net.

"Trapped!"

A light shout suddenly rang across the heavens, and the emerald flame atop the fire net above Protector Wu's head surged violently.

Then the massive net descended swiftly, enveloping his entire body.

"Ah!"

As Protector Wu's slightly ethereal soul first touched the emerald fire net, a mournful wail suddenly issued from his mouth.

The Falling Heart Flame's peculiar ability to restrain souls left the already weakened Protector Wu unable to exert any strength.

"I am a guardian of the Soul Hall; if you kill me, the Soul Hall will never let you go unpunished!"

Seeing no hope of escape, Protector Wu endured the searing pain of the flames and threatened with a fierce, angry tone.

Moreover, Gu He had, over the years, periodically sent gifts to Yun Shan, evidently showing no interest in the former.

"What?!"

During those days of battle, Lin Feng repeatedly clashed with Da Yi Xian.

Although Yun Yun's rise, the Yun Lan Sect had previously assisted the good young man.

But knowing that you now have a way to stop it, you merely gave a slight nod, and the enchanting figure instantly vanished into the sky.

On either side stood the sect's Elders, among them also Yun Yun, the eighth‑rank alchemist.

Looking at the Protector Wu, scorched to the point of almost no resistance, Gu He snatched the ring at my side.

"Junior Zhang Yi, you all should return to his Yun Lan Mountain now."

Indeed, despite Gu He being about seventy years older than Yun Yun, his alchemy was also eighth‑rank, same as the latter.

"Since the Protector Wu hasn't been dealt with yet, you should return to the Snake-People Tribe first; there are still many unresolved matters within the tribe."

The agenda of this meeting was to discuss the compensation for disciples killed on the battlefield.

With a flick of his bent finger, a tangible ball of fire enveloped the jade bottle and its mouth.

At the front, it lingered for a long while beneath Yun Yun, who had not yet advanced beyond the low‑rank eighth‑grade alchemist.

Moreover, Gu He's battle Qi, at the level of an Eight‑Star Dou Emperor, already rivals that of a Dou Sect.

"Bad, you need to handle some matters in the Jia Ma Empire; go find him after a while."

"That damned flame again, that bastard—don't let this guardian seize the chance; otherwise you'll truly feel what it's like to live as death!"

Seeing the current advantageous situation, Protector Wu's eyes darkened with a lingering malice, and he forced a stiff smile at Zhang Yi.

"Whatever it is, just stay put obediently."

Yun Shan, seeing this, was about to adjourn when two unfamiliar figures suddenly appeared in the center of the small hall.

The Elders, after hearing the latter's words, instantly showed no lingering hesitation.

After a moment of contemplation, they decided to abandon Zhang Yi and arrange for Yun Shan to be married off to Gu He as a wife.

After all, Yun Yun's intentions are known throughout the entire Yun Lan Sect.

One Elder, about to rebuke the two, bowed quickly and gestured when his gaze caught the newcomers.

The other Elders, before seeing the newcomers clearly, also made similar gestures.

Watching the latter's figure fade from sight, Gu He turned his head and smiled at Lin Feng beside him.

He then flicked his palm backward, causing the nearby fire net that encircled Protector Wu to, guided by my soul power, drift slowly toward me.

"Who dares to trespass into your Yun Lan... Old Sect Master!"

The Falling Heart Flame flashed swiftly across the fire net, looping to cling beneath Protector Wu's body.

The former responded with a shout, then darted toward Zhang Yi.

"Hehe, I'd like to see whether your colleagues would risk their lives to avenge you."

He also hoped that other guardians would take revenge for him.

Before Gu He could seize the jade bottle, Medusa's seductive form flew to the other's side and spoke.

"After all, some combat techniques of the Soul Hall can directly harm souls; I find that extremely intriguing,"

If I marry Yun Shan to someone else, the bond between Zhang Yi and the Yun Lan Sect will be completely severed.

Tossing the jade bottle aside, Gu He murmured to himself, then casually slipped the bottle into the ring.

When the tangible flame first touched Protector Wu, dense white smoke and a hissing sound erupted from his body.

In the Yun Lan Sect's small hall, Yun Shan's graceful figure sat beneath the main seat.

Regarding the latter's gift, Yun Shan always received it with melancholy, yet seems likely to consent to the marriage.

But the latter also brewed youth elixirs for the Yun Lan Sect; the subsequent gratitude has long been repaid many times over.

"Bad."

"The first bizarre one in my grasp—didn't you know I can boost your soul power?"

He then drew a jade bottle from the ring, and with a palm gesture, a surge of battle Qi thrust Protector Wu back into the bottle.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi retracted his bone wings, unfurled emerald battle‑Qi wings, and flew toward the figure behind.

Zhang Yi snapped his fingers, a tangible flame materialized in his palm, and instantly shot toward the Protector Tie.

Upon hearing that, Medusa instantly thought of Yun Shan, the old opponent, and a hint of pleasure flickered in her alluring, narrow eyes.

She imagined that Lin Feng and the others, fearing the Soul Hall's reputation, would have to spare her.

After a brief moment, the group's opinions seemed to have reached consensus.

Upon hearing that, the Elders all turned their gazes toward Lin Feng.

Lin Feng gave a slight nod, his eyes sweeping over the Elders in the hall.

If this happens a few more times, his soul power could surely surge to the pinnacle of the first rank in one go.

Hearing the former's roar, Lin Feng's mouth corner slightly rose, and he lightly laughed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Today all the bad things have gathered, old man, I'll just say a bad thing."

Thinking of some unfamiliar faces, Gu He immediately replied.

Young master, what good is it for him to seize you? It's as if he's letting you go; he just injured our Protector, and if you keep pursuing this, how?

He still harbors a faint fantasy in his heart.

Lin Feng's gaze swept back and forth between Gu He and Yun Shan several times; then, with a slight smile, he looked at Gu He and said: "You intend to marry Yun'er to Gu He—Gu He, do you know what he thinks?"

Immediately, a piercing scream that felt like it pierced the marrow rang out from his mouth.

At that moment, if one were to pull up Protector Wu's storage ring,

And Gu He and Yun Shan also oddly cast their gazes over.

Hmm.

As long as it's not a swarm of protectors coming in large numbers at once, he can also keep the incoming protectors to accompany Protector Wu.

Therefore, between the two of them, I still know how to choose.

Because Gu He unintentionally failed to control the flame's temperature, the jade bottle was not burned by the strange fire.

Therefore, those elders basically also knew the latter's identity.
