Chapter 577

Hearing that, Xiao Yan's eyes, full of killing intent, froze for a moment.

Before his teacher was taken away, he had said that the scroll of the Flame Mantra was something he had obtained from a ruined relic back then.

Moreover, according to his teacher's description, back then, in order to obtain what was inside the relic, a fierce battle had even broken out.

However, while a flood of thoughts swiftly passed through Xiao Yan's mind.

His hands were not idle either, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's emotions became somewhat uncontrolled and the soul suppression appeared intermittent.

Xiao Yan hurriedly took out a piece of space jade slip, then crushed it.

"You brat, you dare!"

Relying on his powerful soul power, the black-robed man sensed Xiao Yan's movement the moment the former made a move.

Upon seeing Xiao Yan's action, the black-robed man's voice also turned exceptionally chilling.

His sleeve robe then casually flicked, and a clump of dark-green Beast Fire instantly condensed into a spear.

With a light swing of the former, it tore through the void, turning into a green shadow carrying a fierce force, shooting straight at Xiao Yan!

However, by then it was already too late.

That piece of space jade slip was ultimately still successfully crushed by Xiao Yan.

However, due to the attack launched by that Dou Zun expert, its speed was too terrifying.

As a two-star Dou Zong, he basically had no ability to dodge at all.

Thus, he could only watch helplessly as that green fire spear rushed rapidly toward his brow.

But just then, a faint cracking sound suddenly echoed through the surrounding space.

The invisible barrier enveloping the surroundings, at this moment, shattered without any resistance into countless tiny soul fragments.

As the soul barrier shattered, a vast aura almost instantly swept down from the heavens.

Immediately after, a faint voice sounded in this space.

"Mubao, this place still belongs to the territory of my Xiao Dan Tower; I won't allow your Soul Hall to run wild here."

When that voice rang out, the old man Mubao's complexion suddenly changed.

He then lifted his head to look at the sky, his voice hoarse as he cursed: "You worthless trash that even Yao Chen doesn't want, remember this!"

Immediately after, his gaze turned sinister toward Xiao Yan, and he gritted his teeth: "Kid, consider yourself lucky; I'll let the Alien Fire and the cultivation method stay in your body a little longer—remember, I will eventually come to take them back!"

Having said that, he hurriedly turned and ran.

After all, his words just now were a direct stab at Xuan Yi's heart.

That old maid will certainly not let him off so easily.

And indeed, just as expected, the moment his words fell, a terrifying palm print appeared on the horizon and then swiftly lunged toward the spot where the old tomb dweller had just been.

Looking at this, Xuan Yi is truly angry as well.

At the same time, Xiao Yan in the distance saw that terrifying strike.

Likewise, he exerted all his strength and fled even farther away.

"Mubao, you bastard, you'd better not give me a chance to catch you, or else I'll skin you alive!"

Seeing the old man Mubao escape, Xuan Yi immediately also gritted her teeth in anger and said.

Those words of his were truly a direct stab into her lungs.

After all, Yao Chen had indeed refused her back then!

However, Lin Feng on the other side had no idea that Xiao Yan stepping out the door would cause so many things to happen.

At this moment, he had already separated from the Xiao family siblings and returned to the Ye family's Ye courtyard.

At this time, the Ye courtyard, unlike its previous desolation, was already bustling with extraordinary liveliness.

Many forces that had previously been on good terms with the Ye family, but had kept their distance after the Ye family fell into decline, now came forward one after another to offer congratulations.

And Ye Zhong, seeing that there were simply too many guests, also summoned the two and three Elders who remained in the family to come over and receive the visitors.

As for Lin Feng, after returning, he immediately brought the two women into his own room, after all he didn't like these things.

However, before leaving, Lin Feng and Ye Zhong et al. said a sentence that after they were done, they would go visit his place.

He happened to have something in his hand that could enhance the Ye family's strength a bit.

"Husband, this is the Heavenly Demon Puppet, right? Indeed, it's quite extraordinary."

In the room, Ye Xinlan gazed at the seven puppets Lin Feng had just finished refining, and asked curiously.

"Hehe, Heavenly Demon Puppets can't be refined that quickly; these are merely Earth Demon Puppets."

Lin Feng looked at these silver puppets before him and chuckled lightly.

Next, he lightly touched his storage ring.

Accompanied by a flash of faint light, a dozen or so burly silver puppets, along with several huge golden puppets, appeared in the room.

Afterwards, he looked at Xinlan and said: "Just keep these; if you ever encounter any danger, these puppets can also hold off a bit."

While speaking, Lin Feng extended his finger and lightly tapped Ye Xinlan's brow.

In an instant, streams of information flowed along his arm into Ye Xinlan's mind.

"This is the method of deploying the Earth Gang Overturn Heaven Grand Formation; once these puppets successfully form the formation, even if you encounter a six-star Dou Zun expert, you can still resist for a moment."

After the information transmission ended, Lin Feng withdrew his arm while explaining to her.

"Husband, why not just keep these puppets yourself? Our Ye family has now returned to the ranks of the five major families of the Xiao Dan Tower, so there's hardly anyone who would dare cause trouble."

Upon hearing his words, Ye Xinlan shook her head and said.

Lin Feng, upon hearing that, placed his hand on her smooth hair, rubbed it gently, and indulgingly said: "Good girl, hold onto them; after all, when I later go to the Xiao Dan Tower, I basically won't need these, whereas you out here will actually be in more danger."

Upon hearing him say that, Ye Xinlan felt somewhat moved, extended her jade arm to tightly embrace him, and then nodded.

Thereafter, prompted by Lin Feng's urging, she stored it inside her storage ring.

"Knock knock knock~"

The former had just finished collecting the puppets when a knocking sound came from outside the door.

Lin Feng gestured for Ye Xinlan to stand ready, then said to the doorway, "Come in."

"Creak~"

As soon as his words fell, the wooden door of the room was opened.

Immediately after, Ye Chong walked in with the second and third elders of the Ye family.

"Lin Feng, what do you want from us?"

After Ye Chong entered, just as he was halfway through his words, his gaze fell upon the seven tall silver figures in the room, and he exclaimed in astonishment: "These are... puppets?"

"That's right, these are the puppets I prepared to give you."

Lin Feng nodded and then explained to the three: "This kind of puppet, as long as you drop a drop of blood on its brow, you can gain control over it; it not only carries no risk of betrayal, but also, while you are refining pills, it can block the pill thunder for you. Furthermore, the pill thunder can cause these puppets to evolve, making them stronger."

"They can evolve by absorbing pill thunder?!"

Upon hearing the former's explanation of the puppets' functions, Ye Chong and the two others' eyes lit up instantly, and they exclaimed in shock.

There's no way; these effects are simply too tempting for pill refiners.

Especially the point that they can evolve by absorbing pill thunder—it is simply the beloved of any pill refiner who can summon pill thunder.
