Fights Break Sphere: I have five palaces for receiving energy

Chapter 144 Han Feng, Soul Palace

On the pitch-black plain, a convoy raised a wisp of light dust, then sped past and disappeared at the end of the sight.

Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan sat cross-legged in the slightly bumpy car. In front of them was the caravan leader named Doma. The guards of this caravan were not very strong, and the strongest one among them seemed to be only about a five-star fighter.

Of course, as the captain of the guard originally hired by Doma, that guy was naturally a little displeased with the sudden joining of the two brothers Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan. However, after being frightened by the aura of the Grand Fighter level that Xiao Yuan inadvertently displayed, he immediately changed his expression and became much more respectful.

Doma even invited the two of them into the carriage and treated them well. After all, in such a situation where there was danger of being robbed everywhere, it would really make people feel at ease if there was a strong person in charge of the team.

As for Xiao Yan's strength, he was not worried either. After all, no one would bring a burden with him to the Black Horn Region. Anyone who formed a group would have people of similar strength.

Xiao Yuan is very powerful, so Xiao Yan’s strength will not be bad either.

At this moment, Doma was taking out a yellowed map from his bosom, slowly spreading it out on the table in front of him, pointing his finger at a red dot, and said with a smile:

"This is our destination, Black Seal City. At our speed, we should be able to arrive there tomorrow afternoon. The annual auction will be held there the day after tomorrow, so I need to strengthen my escort and hurry there, so I specially asked the two gentlemen to come for the escort!"

"Auction?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan's hearts moved. In the Black Horn Region, the most attractive things are those astonishing wonders. Every auction will attract countless people to compete for them.

Afterwards, the two of them focused their gaze on the yellowed map. Their sight lingered on the small dot of the Black Seal City for a while, and then they followed a route, slowly moving up, and finally saw a blue star in the center.

"This should be Canaan College, right?" Xiao Yuan asked casually without changing his expression, glancing at the blue stars.

"Yes, that is the famous Canaan College in Douqi Continent. My daughter is in it, hehe."

Doma nodded, and there was a hint of pride on his fat face when he mentioned his daughter.

Xiao Yuan nodded silently, then scanned it carefully and memorized the entire map in just a few seconds.

Xiao Yan on the side swept his eyes towards the black area outside Canaan College. Those black areas were divided into several blocks of different sizes.

"The current 'Black Horn Region' has basically been divided up by some powerful forces. Although they are still fighting for territory, there shouldn't be much change in the short term."

Seeing Xiao Yan's look, Duo Ma, as a businessman, naturally understood some of his doubts. Although he could guess that these two people should be newcomers who had just entered the Black Horn Region, he was smart enough to understand that although these two guys had just arrived, they would definitely become famous in the Black Horn Region in the future! For such a strong man, he didn't need to make himself unhappy, so he explained very sensibly.

"The 'Black Seal City' we are going to is under the jurisdiction of the 'Eight Gates'. The 'Eight Gates' are an old-established force in the Black Horn Region and are extremely powerful. It is said that their leader Yuan Yi is one of the top ten blacklisters in the Black Horn Region. This time, the auction in the Black Seal City is hosted by the 'Eight Gates'."

Doma drew a small circle around Black Seal City with his finger and said with a smile.

"Black list?" The unfamiliar words made Xiao Yan slightly stunned, and he murmured in a low voice.

"Haha, this black list is no different from some empires' rankings of the strongest, but the competitiveness of the black list here is far beyond those empires' rankings of the strongest, because in just less than two years, the last three people on the black list were directly replaced. It is said that the three people who were replaced are also Dou Wang-level strongmen."

Doma shook his head and said with some emotion.

"As expected of the Black Horn Region, it's quite chaotic."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Who are the people at the top of the black list? How strong are they?"

Xiao Yan at the side asked softly, with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"The first and second place are too mysterious, and only a few people have seen them, so I don't know much about them. However, the third place is an incredible strong man. It is said that his strength has already reached the peak of Douhuang, and he is also very proficient in alchemy. He can be called the best alchemist in the Black Horn Region, so most people respectfully call him the 'Medicine King'."

Doma pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"Medicine King? This nickname is really quite meaningful." Xiao Yan smiled lightly and said, "What is his real name?"

"Well, let me think about it, it seems... it's called Han Feng." Duo Ma shook his head and said with a smile.

"laugh!"

Just after Doma finished speaking, Xiao Yan's fingers hidden in his sleeves suddenly trembled violently, and the black ring on his fingers couldn't help but burst out with a lot of white flames, which eventually caused a small hole to be burned through the car board where the finger was hanging due to the high temperature.

The sudden change of the ring also made Xiao Yan's face change slightly, but fortunately, the sleeves covered it, so Doma on the opposite side did not notice the change.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yan gently stroked the black ring with his fingers and whispered in his heart. The previous unusual movement of the ring was obviously due to the sudden outburst of Yao Lao's emotions inside.

Xiao Yan's question did not receive an answer, and Yao Lao seemed to have fallen completely silent at this moment.

Feeling Yao Lao's complete silence, Xiao Yan wisely did not ask any more questions. However, he remembered the name Han Feng firmly in his heart. This person might have a great connection with the previous Yao Lao.

"Mr. Black Robe, are you okay?" Seeing Xiao Yan's expression suddenly change, Doma on the opposite side couldn't help but ask nervously.

"It's okay." Xiao Yan smiled and was about to speak, but suddenly he noticed a commotion outside the carriage. A series of exclamations came into the carriage: "Everyone, pay attention, the black storm is coming, hurry up and prepare to stop the car! Be careful not to disperse, so as not to lose your way."

"Black storm? What bad luck, we encounter it again." Hearing the exclamations outside, Duo Ma's face changed slightly, but he was not extremely panicked. He said to Xiao Yan: "Gentlemen, let's get off the car first. As long as we take precautions, this not-so-big black storm will not cause much danger."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan lifted the car curtain and jumped out. He looked up and found that the sky, which was clear more than ten minutes ago, was now covered by a strange black fog. Looking forward, his vision was severely obstructed. No wonder Doma said that if you encounter a black storm, even if you have a map, it will be of no help!

But right now, he was more concerned about other things.

Han Feng, his and Xiao Yan's senior brother, is a heartless person who stabbed Yao Lao in the back.

There are a lot of good things in this guy’s ring!

We have to find a way to kill this beast.

"Haha, gentlemen, don't worry. I felt the wind direction and it's not very strong. This is a blessing in disguise." Doma said with a smile beside Xiao Yan: "Although the black storm is the most depressing weather in the Black Region Plain, it is much better than those brutal black bandits. At least, if you encounter a black storm, you are lucky and can save your life. But if you encounter tens of thousands of black bandits, you may have no choice but to wait for death."

"Thousands and tens of thousands? How can there be so many people?" Hearing this, Xiao Yuan came back to his senses and asked with some surprise.

This endless plain is not conducive to setting up an ambush, and the noise of a large group of people cannot be concealed. How could the bandit army gather so many people to rob a caravan?
It always feels weird.

But before he could say anything else, the already dim sky suddenly became completely dark, and then a howling gale suddenly swept down from the sky. Suddenly, some people of smaller stature were blown by the strong wind, their whole bodies swaying, and they were so frightened that they quickly grabbed anything around them.

The convoys connected to each other were arranged in a circle, end to end, and everyone hid in them. The weapons in their hands were inserted into the ground, fixing their bodies like nails.

Invisible darkness enveloped everyone. Amidst the howling wind, no one could feel the presence of anyone around them.

Half-kneeling on the ground, Xiao Yan thrust the Xuan Zhong ruler fiercely into the ground, then hid his body behind the wide ruler. Hearing the crackling sound of the strong wind blowing on the ruler, his expression changed slightly. He did not expect that this so-called black storm would be so strong. And this was still the small storm mentioned by Doma. If he encountered a bigger one, wouldn't it be able to sweep people away directly?
Then, he realized that someone seemed to be pulling him under his feet?

Looking down again, he was surprised to find that it was Xiao Yuan, whose half body was buried in the ground, who was pulling him down.

Without any thought or hesitation, Xiao Yan gave up resisting and let his third brother pull him down.

As most of his body sank into the ground, Xiao Yan, who was leaning against the Xuan Zhong Chi, suddenly felt that the wind force of the black storm had weakened a lot.

He was about to speak when he saw Xiao Yuan's eyes staring at his side and back, so he turned his head and looked over there.

There, some strange red lights flashed, and there were also vague and indistinct sounds coming from them.

Xiao Yuan signaled Xiao Yan not to act rashly, and then he used Listening to the Wind. After a moment, he narrowed his eyes and immediately sent a message to Xiao Yan:

"It's a Douling-level soul being hunted by a strange guy. That guy claims to be from the Soul Palace and specializes in hunting down souls."

"Soul Palace?"

Xiao Yan muttered to himself in confusion upon hearing this.

"Have the Soul Palace's minions extended to the Black Horn Region?"

At this time, Yao Lao's voice also sounded in the hearts of the two.

"teacher?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan asked in his heart.

"Hey, I originally wanted to wait until you have gained a certain level of strength before telling you about this, but now that we have just met, I might as well tell you in advance.

The reason why I am in this situation today is closely related to the Soul Palace. It is an extremely terrifying and powerful force. They have special methods to deal with soul bodies. In addition, soul bodies cannot use fighting spirit. It can be said that the most feared thing for soul bodies is to meet people from the Soul Palace.

However, some souls that possess strange flames and have refined them into their own flames are better off. When I met the people from the "Soul Palace", I was able to escape successfully thanks to the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. Otherwise, I would probably have ended up like that guy just now.

But you don't have to worry about it now. As long as I show up less, they shouldn't be able to find us in a short time. So what you need to do now is to improve your strength as much as possible when they find me! Otherwise, the previous person is a lesson for me. Unless I recover my former strength, even if I am strong now, it will be difficult for me to deal with some strong people in the Soul Palace."

When talking about the Soul Palace, Yao Lao's voice became much more solemn. Obviously, Yao Lao was also extremely wary of this force.

"Teacher, rest assured, we will practice hard."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan spoke together.

"Oh, right? We can probably stay in Black Seal City for a day. The auction there should have what we need. But, do you two have enough money? In the Black Horn Region, it's almost impossible to move without money."

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao smiled with relief and then asked.

"Uh, it seems there are still hundreds of thousands of gold coins, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned and spoke slowly.

"I still have more than two million."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Hundreds of thousands." Yao Lao was somewhat speechless, and said helplessly: "Two million may be a little too little, what can you do with these hundreds of thousands?"

Scratching his head awkwardly, Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and said, "If it really doesn't work, buy some herbs to refine pills and auction them. I've never heard of a pharmacist being short of money."

"Haha, don't forget to buy the medicine cauldron. It's better to buy a better one this time, otherwise the furnace will explode again when you are refining the elixir."

Xiao Yuan on the side laughed jokingly.

"Oh, that's true!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan shook his head with a headache. A furnace explosion would only happen once!

"The storm seems to be letting up."

As Xiao Yuan spoke, his body emerged from the soil like a loach, and he then pulled Xiao Yan out with him. With a light step, he restored the two holes under their feet to their original state.

The effect of the earth-attributed Earth-level martial arts is quite good. Small tricks like this are just insignificant effects that come with the martial arts.

Soon, a faint ray of sunlight shone into the darkness, and the originally dim sky regained its brightness, and the strong wind completely dissipated.

The two returned to the carriage and continued on their journey.
