Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 628 Encounter, Chase

On the deck of the Medicine Clan warship, Yao Ling watched the light disappear into the distant sky, bit her lip, and with a light touch of her toes, she was about to take off and chase after it.

Just then, a hand reached out from behind her and grabbed her tightly.

"Brother?" Yao Ling suddenly turned around and looked at Yao Tian, ​​who was pulling her. "Let go of me! I need to stop Elder Wan Gui from making a mistake... Attacking the Tower Master of the Pill Tower is such a terrible thing. We can't just watch things get out of control!"

"Little sister, stop being so willful!" Yao Tian said in a low voice, then added quietly, "With our strength at the half-saint level, can we catch up with or stop Elder Wan Gui?"

"You know his temperament; we can't change his decision."

"Moreover, your reaction of being overly concerned confirms my suspicions... Therefore, I must solemnly warn you that the Medicine Clan's imperial princess is never allowed to marry outside the clan."

"It is not a bad thing for Elder Wan Gui to cut off your delusions."

"Although the Dan Tower is quite strong, our clan can handle it. You don't need to worry about the aftermath!" Yao Tian took a deep breath, looked sternly at his younger sister, and said, "As your brother and the young patriarch of the Yao clan, I cannot let you go and report the news."

Upon hearing this, Yao Ling gradually calmed down, glared at Yao Tian, ​​snorted coldly, and turned to walk into her cabin.

Seeing this, Yao Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

My younger sister is a stubborn person, but she didn't try too hard or do anything irrational at the moment. It seems that she hasn't fallen too deeply in love.

That's good. It seems I was a little too concerned and made a mistake!

However, what Yao Tian didn't know was that as soon as Yao Ling returned to her room, she immediately took out a token.

"Lord Yaoguang and Lord Tianxuan, you two are friends of the Medicine Lord, aren't you?"

"If you can get in touch with Yaojun, please send him a message immediately—a four-star Dou Sheng has his eye on his life and has already set off to find him. Tell him to be careful in the near future and it would be best if he did not leave the Pill Tower!"

By channeling its power into the "Heavenly Decree," Yao Ling activated the limited-use emergency communication function and quickly sent a message to its two pen pals.

She didn't have to wait long before she received replies from her two pen pals.

Lord of Tianxuan Star: I am aware of this matter.

Lord Yaoguang: I am aware of this matter and will try to send a message to Lord Yao.

Upon receiving replies from her two pen pals, Yao Ling breathed a sigh of relief... At this moment, she was incredibly grateful that she had accepted Lin Yuan's invitation to join the Seven Star Mystic Maiden Society.

"You invited me to join the Seven Stars back then, and now I'm saving you through the Seven Stars... Perhaps this is fate!"

With a slight smile, the girl put away the Seven Star Token and looked towards the direction of Saint Pill City.

Meanwhile, in a distorted void, Qing Lin slowly opened her eyes, looking at Lei Huan Shen not far away, a strange look flashing in her pretty eyes.

The spirit medicine actually sent a direct warning?!

Although she and Fairy Doctor were partly responsible for the help, her young master's charm was truly remarkable!
Suddenly, Zi Yan opened her eyes and said in a deep voice, "That Yao Wangui has gone far away. I will go and follow him to report to Lin Yuan and keep watch. You will be responsible for capturing Yao Ling and seizing the strange fire... I have confirmed that there are no strong people around, so we can act freely."

Upon hearing this, Qinglin nodded emphatically and said solemnly, "We'll take care of things here, so you can go without worry... Young Master, I'm leaving you here!"

Zi Yan nodded, spread her Heavenly Phoenix Wings, and sped off towards the Beast Realm.

Watching her leave, Qinglin had a thought, and the illusory mist transformed from Nightmare Heavenly Mist mixed with the clouds in the sea of ​​clouds, rapidly spreading towards the Medicine Clan's airship.

In terms of illusionary talent, with the blessing of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, she is no less than Lin Yuan.

With her illusionary abilities and the extraordinary power of Nightmare Mist, Yao Tian and Yao Ling, both at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm, would find it difficult to put up any resistance.

As for the other members of the Medicine Clan, they are not worth mentioning!
Beside him, Lei Huanshen formed several hand seals, and a cold and eerie black mist surged from his body, quickly completely concealing his figure and aura.

"Hehehe, Blood Soul Spirit, I have arrived!"

With a strange laugh, the Soul Palace Abyss Venerable appeared in this world.
-
Central region, ancient cliff mountain range.

This dangerous place, which is quite famous in the area, has a high concentration of natural energy, but it has long been occupied by several seventh-tier ferocious beasts, so it has always been quite desolate.

The dramatic change occurred a year ago.

A snake clan warrior from the Beast Realm led a snake clan—the Netherworld Serpent Clan—to migrate here, where they slayed the seventh-tier ferocious beasts and began to develop this land.

Rumors circulate that this snake-clan Battle Venerable has a close relationship with the Nine Netherworld Python of the Beast Realm.

Therefore, after the Nether Serpent Clan occupied this place, no one came to cause trouble.

Today, this ancient cliff mountain range has become the habitat of the Netherworld Serpent Clan, with a constant influx of serpent people migrating here. The once desolate peaks of the mountain range are now dotted with numerous palaces and pavilions, making it far more prosperous than before.

In the center of the Ancient Cliff Mountains, separated by a spatial barrier, lies a forbidden area of ​​the Netherworld Serpent Clan, accessible only to the clan leader and a handful of elders.

In the center of this forbidden area, a strange tower stands tall, with strange array patterns engraved on it.

Over the past few years, many of these strange towers have appeared in the Central Plains without anyone noticing, all built and guarded by branches of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

These stone towers were built and maintained by the Nine Netherworld Python clan at Lin Yuan's behest, serving as communication nodes for the Central Continent-level Sky Dome Network!

In a sudden moment, the strange array patterns on the tower began to glow faintly.

Immediately, an extremely mysterious and subtle fluctuation rippled out from the top of the tower and swept away into the distance.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in the distant sky above the Ancient Cliff Mountains, a streak of icy blue light pierced the heavens, hurtling towards the distance like a bolt of lightning.

Amidst the flowing light, Lin Yuan, having received the communication fluctuations, exchanged intelligence with Qing Linqi via the Sky Dome Network while flying.

"Qing'er, are you ready?"

"Action? No, wait for orders for now. I haven't encountered Yao Wangui yet, so don't rush to make a move... Await my instructions regarding the specific timing!"

"Ask Ziyan where Yao Wangui is now."

"Has Yao Wangui already arrived there? Let me calculate. Based on the current speed and trajectory, we will meet at the border of the Central Region in another hour."

"Yao Ming is ready... Very good, I'm only three or four hours away from there."

After exchanging information, Lin Yuan suddenly stepped into the void, increasing his speed, and sped towards the designated meeting point, disappearing into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.

An hour later, from the Canggu Mountains at the edge of the Central Region, a streak of icy blue light broke through the air and stopped in mid-air above the mountain range.

The light dissipated, revealing Lin Yuan's elegant and extraordinary figure.

His gaze swept across the mountains, finally settling on a rugged blue stone atop a mountain. He said in a deep voice, "May I ask which senior is cultivating here? I, Lin Yuan, happened to pass by. If there is any disturbance... please forgive me!" Before he finished speaking, a familiar figure dressed in an alchemist's robe slowly walked out from behind the blue stone and appeared in Lin Yuan's sight.

"Heh, so you, this rude junior, actually know how to treat your seniors with courtesy?"

With a cold laugh, Yao Wangui's lips curled into a sarcastic smile, his smug voice filled with undisguised pleasure and mockery.

Lin Yuan's pupils contracted. "Yao Wangui, it's you? What do you want?"

"Of course it's me!" Seeing the other party's forced composure, Yao Wangui's killing intent intensified, but his smugness grew even stronger.

"As for why I came here, it's to correct my mistake... Young man, look around. Do you like the environment here? Be grateful to me. This beautiful place is the burial site I carefully selected for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes sharpened, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. In an instant, his murderous aura surged.

"You want to kill me? Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression changed drastically. He flipped his hand and took out a spatial jade slip, then crushed it without hesitation. Instantly, a strong spatial fluctuation spread out.

Upon seeing this, Yao Wangui showed no sign of anxiety; instead, a cunning smile appeared on his face.

With a sudden thought, he activated the method he had just set up.

The next instant, nine beams of light rose in the distance, centered on where the two were sitting, and a spatial cage quickly took shape.

This spatial cage is extremely large, encompassing an area of ​​hundreds of miles in radius.

Inside the cage, the space trembled violently.

Amidst the violent disturbance of this spatial tremor, the spatial passage formed by the shattered spatial jade slip, just as it was about to fully take shape, began to fluctuate violently, and then completely dissipated before Lin Yuan's incredulous eyes.

"You think you can summon that old geezer Danta? Not so easy... Boy, this space has been sealed off by me. You must die here today!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yao Wangui suddenly stepped into the void, and his figure instantly appeared in front of Lin Yuan.

"You brat, die!"

Yao Wangui's fighting spirit suddenly surged out, and he clenched his right fist and slammed it forward.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan had a thought, and the Azure Ice Flame that had already surged from his body instantly swirled around his palm, transforming into a layer of mysterious azure flame crystals.

"Myriad Transformations Heavenly Flame Palm!"

With a low shout, Lin Yuan struck out with his palm, meeting Yao Wangui's attack head-on without backing down.

The clash between Dou Sheng powerhouses was naturally extremely terrifying. Fists and palms collided with a thunderous roar, echoing through the sky. From the point of contact, the space within a thousand feet radius collapsed and turned completely into darkness.

A ripple of energy swept outwards, forcing Yao Wangui to retreat several steps, while Lin Yuan was thrown backwards, stumbling back dozens of steps before regaining his footing.

However, Yao Wangui's right hand was covered with an icy blue flame, emitting a smell of burnt flesh.

"A four-star Dou Sheng is nothing special!"

Looking at Yao Wangui, who stood with his hands behind his back, Lin Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered, "There are only the two of us here. What's the point of hiding your burned hands?"

Within his body, pale purple flames rapidly repaired the damaged meridians.

Yao Wangui sneered, forcibly suppressing the flames attached to his hand with his battle qi, a deep greed appearing in his eyes: "Boy, your flames are indeed extremely excellent, the Azure Ice Flame... a good name, soon it will be mine!"

This synthetic flame is truly extraordinary; its power surpasses that of the ancient clan's Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, and it is rightfully his to possess.

"You have a strong physique, but I'd like to see how many blows you can withstand."

"Remember, in the face of absolute power, all tricks are useless!"

While launching a verbal attack, Yao Wangui flashed and instantly reappeared in front of Lin Yuan. With a fierce grab, the space in front of him collapsed!

Faced with Yao Wangui's attack, Lin Yuan did not choose to confront him head-on this time.

His eyes suddenly sharpened, and he formed a hand seal. In an instant, a pair of magnificent phoenix wings unfurled behind him.

"Heh, you want to kill me? It's not that simple!" With a light laugh, Lin Yuan's Phoenix Wings flapped gently, and a great sound of wind and thunder arose. His figure retreated like lightning, instantly escaping Yao Wangui's attack range.

Yao Wangui looked at the pair of magnificent wings, his eyes narrowing slightly. "This speed... are these the wings of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix?"

"Such high-quality materials must have come from the core members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, or even from a ninth-tier magical beast! Ignorant brat, you truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth..."

"But with just this much skill, you can't escape!"

This place has been sealed off by the spatial barrier he set up, and no matter how fast you go, it will be difficult to escape.

However, Lin Yuan ignored his words and changed his hand seals. A strange purple light flowed out from his body and quickly enveloped him.

Without the slightest hesitation, he flapped his phoenix wings and crashed violently into the spatial barrier.

Seeing this, Yao Wangui sneered and said smugly, "It's useless. This place has been sealed off by the spatial barrier I set up. Even a three-star Dou Sheng would find it extremely difficult to escape. Let's see how you, a one-star Dou Sheng, manage to get through..."

However, before he could finish speaking, his confident voice turned into unexpected shock in the next instant.

"What? It passed? How is that possible?"

To Yao Wangui's disbelief, Lin Yuan's body, enveloped in purple light, passed through the spatial barrier without any hesitation.

"Is this all your barrier is?" Standing outside the barrier, Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and gave Yao Wangui the middle finger. "The Yao Clan's Battle Saint is nothing special!"

Before he finished speaking, his middle finger suddenly swung down in a highly mocking manner.

Then, he suddenly flapped his wings, and amidst the surging wind and thunder, he sped away towards the distant sky, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye, leaving only his mocking words echoing between heaven and earth.

"Yao Wangui, you're not worthy to kill me, you piece of trash... I will make you pay for what happened today!"

Slapped in the face like that, Yao Wangui's face turned pale and then red, before he roared angrily, "Trying to leave? Not so easy! You wretched brat from the Pill Tower, today you won't escape my grasp..."

Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of withered green light and quickly chased after Lin Yuan.

Some time after the two left, a clear laugh rang out in the void: "Hehe, my brother Lin Yuan, you're such a good actor!"
