Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 631 The Medicine Spirit's Method

"Our location was exposed, so it seems that was your doing too?"

Yao Tian coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper, but he seemed to have suddenly figured something out and asked in a cold voice.

Logically speaking, their location shouldn't have been discovered so easily.

"Of course!" Lin Ziyou smiled, but her eyes flashed with indifference as she took the blame: "Since I have decided to pledge allegiance to the Soul Clan, I will naturally do my best."

"Yao Tian, ​​it's all your fault. You stole my position as the young clan leader."

Upon hearing Yao Ziyou's outrageous remarks, Yao Tian's face instantly turned ashen, his eyes filled with disbelief, anger, and deep disappointment.

He never imagined that Yao Ziyou, who was usually kind to his clansmen, harbored such a twisted ambition.

"Yao Ziyou, you've gone mad!" Yao Ling retorted angrily, her fighting spirit surging around her, her fists clenched tightly as she suppressed her anger and quickly thought of a solution.

Originally, even with their combined efforts, they could only barely hold their own against the enemy. Now that their personnel have been severely injured and their formation has been destroyed, how could they possibly withstand the attack?

Yao Tian gave Yao Ziyou a deep look, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"How could the people of my Medicine Clan submit to the Soul Clan?" He forced himself to stand firm, staring coldly at Yao Ziyou and Yuan Tianzun, his voice firm and powerful: "As the young clan leader, I, Yao Tian, ​​will never let your conspiracy succeed!"

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a scroll, then quickly tore it open, and a spatial fluctuation immediately spread out rapidly.

Just as these spatial fluctuations were rapidly coalescing and about to form a spatial channel, they suddenly began to fluctuate violently, as if they had been interfered with.

The newly formed passage vanished in an instant.

Seeing this, the others quickly took out their spatial jade slips and crushed them, but the final result was exactly the same.

"Damn it, what tricks have you played!" Upon seeing this, Yao Tian and the others' faces darkened, and a sense of impending doom rose in their hearts.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just that the space has been sealed off with a barrier."

Yuan Tianzun smiled sinisterly and said casually, at the same time, a piercing soul sound wave was suddenly released from the black mist.

"Soul-Devouring Chant".

This was the first time he had used a secret soul technique from the Soul Palace.

In an instant, the soul sound wave shot out like lightning, transforming into a sound wave domain filled with the wailing of ghosts, enveloping the Medicine Clan members within it.

Under the fierce impact of this soul sound wave, some of the weaker members of the Medicine Clan turned pale instantly. Their souls were as if struck by a heavy hammer, suffering unprecedented damage, and they quickly fainted.

Without the formation to unite the power of the masses, Dou Zong and Dou Zun are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter under the absolute strength of Dou Sheng, with no power to resist!

In just a few blinks of an eye, only Yao Tian and Yao Ling remained conscious in the arena.

Two people at the semi-saint level are not so easily dealt with by petty tricks.

"Brother, his target is me. We should split up." Yao Ling took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes, and with a thought, she used her soul power to send a message to Yao Tian.

"How do we escape? This area has been sealed off."

Yao Tian's eyes narrowed, but then he seemed to realize something, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes: "Could it be that you intend to use that move?"

"Hmm!" Yao Ling nodded decisively and continued to send messages to make arrangements: "My current condition is much better than yours, so after successfully breaking through the blockade, I will act as bait and run north, while you take the opportunity to escape south."

"The Soul Clan's target this time is me, probably for my Blood Soul Spirit Body, so even if they capture me, they won't kill me right away."

"Go and meet up with Elder Wan Gui as soon as possible, and ask him to come and save me."

"Regardless of anything, someone must inform the Soul Clan about their conspiracy and their actions!"

After sending the message, she immediately severed the soul communication between the two, giving Yao Tian no chance to refute it—otherwise, given Yao Tian's personality, he would never have allowed her to be used as bait.

The two communicated via their souls at an extremely fast speed, exchanging information in just a few blinks.

Without further ado, Yao Ling immediately took action.

"Trying to catch me? Not so easy!" She snorted coldly, flipped her hand and took out a milky white pill, the very same ninth-grade treasure pill that had been refined at the Pill Gathering. After activating it with a secret method, she flicked her finger and sent it shooting towards Yuan Tianzun like a meteor.

This kind of attack with a long "pre-attack" is difficult to hit even a Dou Sheng powerhouse with extremely high speed, but the opponent would never dare to stop it.

After all, the power unleashed by a Grade Nine Treasure Pill is enough to make everyone wary!

As Yao Ling had predicted, upon seeing the activated precious pill, Yuan Tianzun, who was already on guard, narrowed his eyes and quickly grabbed Yao Ziyou behind him. With a flash, he dodged the trajectory of the ninth-grade precious pill like a ghost.

Under the watchful eyes of the group, the ninth-rank weapon crashed heavily into the edge of the barrier, and its energy exploded violently.

An indescribable destructive impact swept across the sky.

The barrier, which even a Dou Sheng would have to work hard to break, was easily pierced like a thin sheet of paper by the impact of the fully activated Grade 9 precious pill.

A terrifying energy storm then swept out, sealing off the space and blowing away the vast sea of ​​clouds.

The moment the barrier shattered, Yao Ling didn't hesitate for a moment. She transformed into a dazzling flame and sped towards the Pill Tower. Seeing this, Yuan Tianzun didn't hesitate for a moment either. He transformed into a black mist, grabbed Yao Ziyou, and chased after them.

Seeing this, Yao Tian gritted his teeth, spread his pair of black fire wings, and, carrying one of the unconscious Yao Clan's Ten Heroes, flew towards the Southern Region.

This is too unbelievable; he needs a witness.

As for helping Yao Ling, Yao Tian had a strong desire to do so, but he also understood that in his current state, chasing after her would only be a burden.

Just as my younger sister said, the most important thing now is to quickly go and get reinforcements!

At this moment, Yao Tian couldn't help but feel resentment towards Yao Wangui—if the latter hadn't deserted his post, how could things have escalated to this point?!
After Yao Tian left, Qing Lin, whose figure was hidden in the mist, slowly walked out of the void and then unleashed a stream of battle qi, turning one of the ten heroes of the Yao Clan—the one who had mocked Dan Ta and Lin Yuan the most—into ashes.

At the same time, she spared a sliver of her attention to quickly exchange information with Lin Yuan: "Young Master, are we just going to let Yao Tian go like this? Doesn't he have the Nine Nether Wind Flame on him?"

"It is precisely because of the Nine Nether Wind Flame that we need to let it go!" Lin Yuan's reply quickly reached Qing Lin's side.

"The Nine Nether Wind Flame has been subdued by the Medicine Clan for thousands of years." "Over the long period of time, this strange flame has been marked by many powerful figures of the Medicine Clan throughout the ages, including marks left by experts at the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm, and perhaps even marks left by experts at the Emperor Realm. It is impossible to completely eliminate it in a short period of time."

"The true master of the Nine Nether Wind Flame is not Yao Tian, ​​but Yao Wanhuo, a six-star Dou Sheng, a powerful expert whose soul has been at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm for many years."

"If you keep this fire in your hand, he might be able to locate you without you noticing."

"In the end, the Nine Nether Wind Flame is only ranked tenth among the strange flames. Although it has some use, it's only to that extent... It's not worth taking such a risk!"

"As for you, you don't need to worry about Yao Tian. Just assist Yuan Tianzun in capturing Yao Ling."

The Burning Flame Valley, which has inherited the Nine Dragons Thunderfire for hundreds of years, has managed to leave behind some troublesome methods in the source of fire. The Medicine Clan, which has inherited the Nine Nether Wind Flame for thousands of years, naturally has left behind even more exquisite methods, and has had even more powerful figures use them.

Without overwhelming absolute strength like that of a Dou Di, breaking through the numerous methods set up by the Medicine Clan would undoubtedly be an extremely difficult task.

Only with the help of the seniors from the Ancient Emperor's Cave could there be any chance of success.

However, soul imprints often possess the ability to transmit messages, especially powerful imprints... During the transportation of the Nine Nether Wind Flame, the Medicine Clan might be able to sense its location.

Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, Lin Yuan did not want this matter to affect Canaan Academy and increase the possibility of the ancient emperor's cave being exposed.

Therefore, his target this time is Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire, Wind Fury Dragon Flame, and Yin Yang Twin Flames.

The Medicine Clan has only recently acquired these three strange flames, with the longest being only a few years. Moreover, shortly after obtaining them, the Medicine Clan temporarily handed them over to Yao Ling and Yao Ziyou for use due to the Pill Gathering. Therefore, they have not yet been able to modify or control them thoroughly.

Once he obtains them, Fu Xuan can devour them directly without anyone else's help.

After finishing her conversation with Lin Yuan, Qing Lin looked at the chaotic scene before her and watched the Medicine Clan members fall from the sky, a thoughtful expression in her eyes.

"The explosion of that precious pill just now made a lot of noise. The Pill Tower must have felt it, and someone should be arriving soon."

"Oh? Guild Master Xuan Kongzi has already set off... That's really fast!"

"If these Medicine Clan members had been saved by the Pill Tower this time, even if the Medicine Clan has the thickest skin, they would still find it hard to forget their gratitude and turn against the Pill Tower later! Tsk tsk, young master is really wicked, he has almost squeezed all the value out of these people..."

"Then, as you said, I will go and welcome my good pen pal, our Lord of Tianji Star!"

With her mind settled, Qinglin timed it perfectly and responded to the medicine spirit who was calling for help through the Sky Dome Network, sending her a message instructing her to go to the designated location.

As for the distress messages that Yao Ling transmitted to Gu Xun'er, the Lord of Xuanji Star, and Huo Zhi, the Lord of Kaiyang Star, Qing Lin intercepted and preserved them completely—as the core node of the Sky Dome Network, he had complete and absolute control over this system.

Then, the girl lightly touched the air with her toes, and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a soft laugh echoing in the air.

"After planning for so long, it's time to wrap things up!"
-
On a mountain peak at the border of the Beast Domain and the Southern Domain, Yao Wangui sat cross-legged on a blue stone, sensing the soul imprint he had left on Lin Yuan.

"Damn it, is that kid still in the Beast Realm?"

A short while later, he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of impatience flashing in them. But the next moment, as if sensing something, his expression suddenly changed.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yao Wangui flicked his finger, and an ancient jade piece flew out from his storage ring.

This jade piece is pale green, with ten points of light slowly moving within it... These ten points of light symbolize the Ten Heroes of the Medicine Clan. When the points of light are bright, life is safe and sound; when the points of light dissipate, it is the time when the soul is scattered.

At this moment, of the ten points of light, only the one representing Yao Ling and Yao Ziyou is relatively bright; the other eight points of light are quite dim.

This phenomenon clearly indicates that everyone has suffered a severe blow.

The unease in his heart was confirmed, and Yao Wangui's face turned extremely ugly in an instant: "Damn it, someone actually took advantage of my absence to attack Yao Tian and the others."

Before he could finish speaking, a point of light representing the Ten Heroes of the Medicine Clan vanished completely under his incredulous gaze.

The next instant, the bright spot of light representing Yao Ziyou also completely disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Yao Wangui's face instantly turned deathly pale, then flushed crimson with extreme rage: "Yao Feng... Yao Ziyou... who exactly are you? How dare you be so audacious as to attack the young future of my Yao clan! I will surely tear you to pieces!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he stomped on the ground, his body soaring into the air. He took control of a pair of enormous fire wings and flew at full speed towards the Tianyun Mountains.

As for the matter of hunting down Lin Yuan, Yao Wangui no longer had any concerns.

It's alright for the others, but if Yao Tian and Yao Ling were to lose their lives this time, even if he were a high-ranking and powerful elder of punishment, he would definitely find it difficult to bear.

"Yao Tian, ​​Yao Ling, you must hold on, I'll be there soon..."
-
Meanwhile, deep within the void of the Beast Realm, Lin Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged in silence, opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his deep gaze.

"Is it over there? Then it's time for me to close the net here too."

He glanced at the inheritance jade slip and the pharmacopoeia invitation in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Zi Yan who was sensing in front of him, and asked in a deep voice: "Zi Yan, what was the result? Were there really only three soul imprints placed on you?"

"Don't worry, there are definitely only three!" Zi Yan nodded, her proud voice full of certainty: "I'm at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, I would never mistake someone else..."

"Leave the rest to me, I'll help you remove them."

"By the way, that old codger from the Medicine Clan has already started his operation. He's currently flying north, probably trying to return to the Central Region to rescue people."

As she spoke, she flicked her finger, and three strands of pure soul power flew out, accurately striking the three soul imprints on Lin Yuan's body, the inheritance jade slip, and the pharmacopoeia invitation.

Under the bombardment of Zi Yan's perfected Heavenly Realm soul, the three soul imprints completely vanished in the blink of an eye.

Breaking through the late-stage Heaven Realm technique at the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm doesn't really require much effort!

"As expected of you, if I were to do it myself, it would probably take some effort!" Lin Yuan nodded appreciatively, stood up and put away the jade slip and invitation, and said, "Let's go, Zi Yan! We should go after that old bastard Yao Wangui... This time, I want his life."

Before the words were even finished, a thought struck him, and he spread his Heavenly Phoenix Wings, preparing to pursue Yao Wangui at full speed.

"Hehe, let me carry you!"

Beside her, Zi Yan smiled smugly and reached out to pull Lin Yuan up, "My speed is much faster than yours... You choose the location of the battlefield, and I'll take you there."

With that, she took Lin Yuan and transformed into a streak of purple-gold light, piercing through the dark void and speeding towards the Tianyun Mountains.
