Fighting Against the Wind begins with the Dragon Flame

Chapter 122: A Visitor from the Soul Palace
In the dim cave, a terrifyingly high temperature suddenly appeared. The humid water vapor in the cave instantly evaporated, and then was blown by a strong wind and rushed out of the cave.

Then, a faint scent of sandalwood floated up, and the fragrant smoke spread all around. Taking a light breath, it seemed as if the whole person's mind was at peace.

This is the calming incense, which Lin Yang found from Han Feng's collection. It is an extremely unpopular and rare treasure, and it can even have an effect on Lin Yang's soul, which is now in the late mortal realm.

I have to say that Han Feng is really rich. If the treasures hidden in the Youhai Ring are exposed, it will be enough to plunge the entire Black Horn Region into chaos. This time Lin Yang's gains are huge, all thanks to the fall of this rich man Han Feng.

Time passed minute by minute, and after his mind completely calmed down, the closed eyes slowly opened. In the depths of the dark eyes, light and shadows resembling flames kept shaking.

"boom!"

As his mind touched the frozen illusory fire-shaped light and shadow in his dantian, a loud roar suddenly sounded, and in front of Lin Yang, a deep blue flame flowed out from the void like a stream of water.

"let's start."

"Om-"

Staring at the deep blue water in front of him that was emitting a fiery breath, Lin Yang's lips moved slightly as he spoke in a low voice.

Before he finished his words, with an inexplicable buzzing sound, the azure light in front of him quickly spread out, enveloping Lin Yang completely.

And on that body that had become extremely strong after several temperings, streams of water emitting terrifying high temperatures began to emerge, and along with it, the aura continued to rise.
There is no sunlight in the dim cave, and the passage of time leaves no trace.

Outside the cave, the sun and the moon rotated endlessly. After several changes, five days passed quietly.

It was late at night. In the north-central area of ​​the Black Horn Region, where the mountains were located, under the extremely dark night sky was Maple City, which was filled with a strange atmosphere.

Medicine Emperor Han Feng disappeared, and all the personal guards around his mansion were killed. After being discovered by servants who came to deliver something, this explosive news spread throughout the entire Black Horn Region in a very short time, attracting many powerful people to gather in Fengcheng.

In Fengcheng today, there are a lot of Douhuang Douwang, all sent by various forces, and conflicts are constantly occurring. In the Black Horn Region, when conflicts occur, bloody fights will break out on the spot.
But don't get me wrong, these strong men who gathered from all over the place did not come to Fengcheng to find the murderer to avenge Han Feng, but to fight for Fengcheng, an important city in the Black Horn Region.

You have to know that over the years, Han Feng has worked hard to manage Fengcheng, and he even put up several sixth-grade top-level elixirs such as the Huangji Pill for auction every year.

Coupled with his status as a sixth-grade top alchemist, people came to him in an endless stream seeking medicine, and soon the small city of Fengcheng became famous in the Black Horn Region.

Today, Fengcheng has become an important city in the Black Horn Region. Although it is small in scale, it generates huge profits.

Such an important commercial city, Fengcheng would have been divided up by the major forces in the Black Horn Region long ago, if Han Feng had not been a disciple of Yao Zun, the continent's number one alchemist. How could they have allowed Han Feng to enjoy the benefits all alone?

Meanwhile, in Fengcheng, the frequent bloody fights between strong men that had caused countless casualties over the past half month no longer existed in the past two days.

All of this was due to the dark fog in the sky that enveloped and blocked the entire Maple City.

The black fog continued to spread, lingering in the drifting clouds, like a spiritual ghost. Wherever it went, its terrifying power continued to spread, suppressing everything in the city, as if it was looking for something.
The depressing atmosphere filled the entire city, but no one dared to resist. They could only silently endure the black fog's random exploration. If the black fog stayed, they would even take out their rings and let it search.
If someone refused to obey? Dare to resist? The shrill screams that frequently sounded when the black fog spread, and the mottled bloodstains left after the black fog faded, were the price they had to pay.

There is still an order in the Gama Empire that is maintained by all major forces, but in the Black Horn Region, the strong are truly respected, and those who dare to resist the strong will only die.

Time passed minute by minute, and as the silver moon slid down, a ray of light finally appeared in the distant sky, and the hot and bright atmosphere once again enveloped the city.

During the sleepless night of the people in the city, the black fog suddenly dissipated, except for the remaining bloodstains and some people who disappeared, as if they had never been there.
At this time, outside Fengcheng, among the mountains.

In the dense forest, there are trees with twisted shapes and strange colors. Although they look ugly, their shielding effect is very good.

The sunlight, which had grown increasingly scorching over the past decade, passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the trees and entered the forest, dispelling some of the darkness while illuminating an illusory white soul.

Yao Lao stood on a huge rock with an extremely solemn expression. He raised his head and looked into the distance. His gaze seemed to penetrate the heavy mountains and observe Fengcheng, which was far away.

"There are at least ten guardians from the Soul Palace. It's really a big deal. They easily mobilized ten Dou Zongs in this remote place in the northwest continent."

"Fortunately, with Han Feng's identity, he is not worthy of attracting the Heavenly Master of the Soul Palace before he finds out that it was me who made the move."

"But I have to be careful of Mu Gu. I think all these Dou Zongs were dispatched by him. He is the only one who cares about me so much. He is really my good brother."

As he spoke in a low voice, Yao Lao's tone couldn't help but sound a little dull.

After a few days of exploration, it was found that the power of the Soul Palace in the Northwest Continent, although not as outrageously excessive as that in Central China, was strong enough.

In just a few days, Mu Gu was able to dispatch ten Dou Zongs, which meant that the Soul Palace must have a branch guarded by Dou Zun in the Northwest Continent. This was not good news for the two of them, and it was even very bad.

It takes a genius to for a Dou Huang to fight against a Dou Zong, but a Dou Zong to fight against a Dou Zun?

The fact that Dou Zun can escape into the void and achieve teleportation is enough to make it difficult for all Dou Zong to deal with, not to mention that Lin Yang is just entering the realm of Dou Huang.

With Yao Lao's soul power, even if he fully recovered to the peak of the spiritual realm, he would not be able to compete with the Soul Palace Dou Zun who specialized in the soul.

"Besides, Mu Gu is not an ordinary Dou Zun. After so many years, his cultivation should have improved. It's troublesome, though."

When thinking of this, Yao Lao's eyes would occasionally glance at the cave behind him from which a terrifying and hot breath continued to emerge.

"But after Lin breaks through to Dou Zong, maybe he can really surpass the great level and defeat Dou Zun?"

Several days have passed since Lin Yang began his retreat to refine the Sea Heart Flame and evolve the Burning Art, but no one knows when he will be able to come out.

With this kid's current Dou Huang level, he can contend against high-level Dou Zong in strength. If he breaks through to Dou Zong level, and then takes the Fallen Heart Flame and his own Bone Spirit Cold Fire, who knows how terrifying the fused flame will be. I'm afraid he can really defeat Dou Zun across levels.

"The people from Yao Lao Soul Palace are here?"

Just as Yao Lao was lost in thought, a sound suddenly came from behind him, startling him from his senses.

I saw that in the deep cave, which was originally pitch black and had no light source at all, some bright spots suddenly appeared, flashing strange light.

"Cluck. Cluck..Cluck."

There was a subtle sound of soles pressing on soft soil, and Lin Yang's figure soon appeared in Yao Lao's delighted sight. There was still some residual firelight flowing in his eyes, which looked extremely magical.

"How come you can refine the strange fire so quickly?" Yao Lao asked with a little surprise as his eyes swept over Lin Yang's stronger aura.

Just now I was still thinking about how long it would take for Lin Yang to refine the Sea Heart Flame and devour the strange fire to evolve the Burning Art, but this kid came out of retreat. When will he be able to refine strange fire at such a speed? Moreover, there are already other strange fires in his body.

"It's just because of my physical condition. Refining the strange fire is very easy for me."

Lin Yang was very satisfied with Yao Lao's surprise. He chuckled twice and then spoke in a calm tone.

"You stinky boy, you'll die if you don't show off!"

Hearing Lin Yang's words which were calm yet somewhat boastful, Yao Lao felt anger rising from his heart. The non-existent blood in his soul body surged up crazily, and he wanted to punch the boy in front of him in the face.

But after a moment, he calmed down, and his bony hands slowly loosened their clenched state.

I can't beat this guy, so it's better not to humiliate myself. Otherwise, it will be very embarrassing if I can't catch up with him.

"You kid, stop talking nonsense. How has your cultivation improved after refining the Sea Heart Flame? And what level is your Burning Art now? Tell me now! Don't waste time!"

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, sensing the breakthrough that had just occurred in Lin Yang's body and the uncontrollable hot aura emanating from him. Yao Lao was also a little curious, and asked very quickly, fearing that he would continue to show off after being interrupted by Lin Yang.

"It only increased by three stars, and now it is Douhuang four stars."

Lin Yang was stunned at first, then he spoke slowly, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Yao Lao's hurried words.

"Wait, you said your cultivation level has increased by three stars? Hasn't the Sea Heart Flame been refined by Han Feng? If it's just the Origin Fire Seed, how can it improve your cultivation level so much?"

Yao Lao's face was full of surprise and doubt, and his words were full of confusion.

In Yao Lao's mind, the Burning Technique used to refine the strange fire can improve one's cultivation level, and it should rely on the energy contained in the strange fire. After all, this is also the biggest difference between normal people refining strange fire and practitioners of the Burning Technique.

Lin Yang also fell into deep thought, recalling the unusually smooth scene when he used the Xun Ling Lotus Heart Fire and the Sea Heart Flame to evolve the Burning Technique just now.

After a long silence, he finally spoke:
"There is indeed not much energy left in the Sea Heart Flame, but the Burning Art and my physique seem to focus more on the origin of it, and the improvement of my cultivation also mainly relies on the origin of it."

"By the way, Yao Lao, the Burning Art has now reached the advanced Earth Rank, and I feel that it is not far from the Heaven Rank. After obtaining the Fallen Heart Flame, I will probably need your Bone Spirit Cold Fire to help the Burning Art break through to the Heaven Rank."

When he said this, Lin Yang looked at Yao Lao a little embarrassedly.

He had promised to resurrect Yao Lao, help him fulfill his long-cherished wish, and take revenge on Yao Wangui. However, there was no sign of these things happening yet, and now he was reaching out to ask for the Bone Spirit Lenghuo. Even someone as shameless as Lin Yang felt a little embarrassed.

"You kid, why are you being so polite to me? I don't like the bodies of these Dou Zongs now. When you become stronger, you must find me a Dou Zun body. Of course, a Dou Sheng body would be better."

"Also, I would like to see the Heaven-level Burning Technique first hand."

Yao Lao also noticed Lin Yang's eyes, and felt a little relieved, and said lightly.

If Lin Yang had no emotional fluctuations when he asked for the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, then he should be more afraid. Even though his soul has now recovered to the spiritual realm, he still has no confidence when facing Lin Yang.

"Thank you, Mr. Yao! Lin Yang will never forget what he promised!"

Despite Yao Lao's nonchalant attitude, Lin Yang did not ignore the sacrifices he made. He spoke every word with a very serious tone.

"Let's get back to business. The people from the Soul Palace arrived in Fengcheng two days ago and conducted a city-wide search."

"There are ten guardians, and five of them have a more powerful aura. Even I find it difficult to resist them. They should be high-level Dou Zongs above seven stars."

Seeing Lin Yang's attitude, Yao Lao nodded secretly in his heart, very satisfied, and immediately turned the topic to the Soul Palace. At the end of his words, there was obviously a hint of solemnity.

A high-level Dou Zong is much more powerful than a low-level Dou Zong.

Low-level Dou Zong can only roughly use the power of space to enhance their fighting skills and achieve walking in the air. When fighting, the space around them will only shake a few times at most, and it can be said that they are unscathed.

And with a deeper understanding and application of the power of space, high-level Dou Zongs can even briefly tear open space cracks when they exert their all, and they are the powerful ones who truly begin to touch the void of the Dou Qi Continent.

Even for Lin Yang now, he has to use all his strength and rely on the strange fire in his body to do this, and this is only the norm for high-level Dou Zong.

Such people are truly high-ranking figures even among the major forces in Zhongzhou.

Just like Fei Tian of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, who can control an area several times larger than the Jia Ma Empire, the Soul Palace has summoned five high-level Dou Zongs in just a few days to gather in the Black Horn Region.
"Five high-level Dou Zongs above seven stars? Then we should stay out of the spotlight."

After hearing Yao Lao's solemn words, Lin Yang's original joy from his improved cultivation level dissipated a little. When he heard about the Soul Palace's grand move, he also took a breath of cold air.

"What's going on? Soul Palace projects are no longer outsourced?"

With doubts filling his mind, Lin Yang just wanted to leave this dangerous place as quickly as possible.

If they were low-level Dou Zong, he would not be afraid of four or five of them at once, and he would not have a problem escaping if ten of them came. But now they are high-level Dou Zong, and there are five of them.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan was once chased by Fei Tian, ​​who had the cultivation level of an eight-star Dou Zong. Although he is now stronger than Xiao Yan at that time, he cannot stop the enemy, which has increased five times.

Not to mention that the Soul Palace's methods have always been weird, so it's better to avoid them first. I don't want to run into the Soul Palace which is in its peak state now and is not in the outsourcing period.

"We can't afford to offend you. Yao Lao, let's go to Black Emperor City first."
