Fights Break Sphere: I am not Xiao Yan

Chapter 138 Intelligence

Chapter 138 Intelligence
"The specific location of the Soul Palace branch in the Northwest Continent, the personnel list, the rotation cycle, as well as everyone's cultivation method and realm, as well as the specialties and trump cards you know."

Xiao Yan slapped an empty scroll in front of the guardian Wu: "Especially those elders you have come into contact with, and the guardians around the Jia Ma Empire, you must also tell us their whereabouts."

"If you really don't understand, then tell me everything you know now. The more detailed the better. Don't keep anything to yourself. If you keep hesitating and adding more, you know what I will do..."

Xiao Yan snapped his fingers, and a gray-white fire lotus floated in front of the protector Wu, and the destructive aura inside became stronger and stronger.

There are not many people in this world who can withstand the scorching heat of the strange fire. Even if one has the hardest mouth, as long as the core of the strange fire is put in and burned, the iron mouth will always melt.

"I know...I know! I will tell you everything! Please calm down for a moment and give me some time to write it down."

The guardian Wu suddenly shrank back. Having burned part of his soul essence, he could barely maintain three stars. Being roasted again in such a weak state would be fatal.

"But, why does this lord want to investigate the Soul Palace? Since you know this name, you should understand how huge it is. It is not something that a few Dou Zongs can shake. Taking the initiative to provoke it will only bring disaster."

Wuying's hands were shaking after he had just carved a few lines on the scroll. The Soul Palace had always been extremely cruel in dealing with traitors.

If he was caught in the future, he might be planted in the field and harvested like leeks. At that time, his colleagues would only chop off most of his essence, and let him mend the rest by himself.

In this environment, even if one wants to commit suicide, he will be stopped by the restrictions planted in his body, and his soul will be driven by the formation to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy uncontrollably.

Souls, however, have no concept of lifespan...

Theoretically, as long as there is infinite spiritual energy to replenish it, it will not decay and can be integrated into the formation to achieve eternity in a certain sense.

With his Dou Zong strength, he could last for hundreds of years even if he was fed casually. He might be tortured by the Soul Palace for nearly a thousand years before he could be freed.

"And those who cut the soul into pieces... and let the ghosts eat the soul body..."

The guardian Wu's heart became heavier and heavier, and it hit the bottom in just a few breaths. If he hadn't still held on to the hope of escaping, he would have chosen to commit suicide the moment he was caught.

Between dying directly and living a life worse than death, it is obvious that the former is the one that will make the most money.

“Keep writing!”

Xiao Yan's expression was slightly cold, and the Fire Lotus in his hand almost pressed on Guardian Wu's face: "When did I give you the right to ask questions?"

Take the initiative to provoke?

Guess why I set up a trap for you here instead of staying in Wutan City and being a Sword God of Shilipo?

If I remember correctly, the headquarters of the Soul Palace should be in Zhongzhou. How come you, a guardian, came back to the northwest road to work?
Who is provoking whom?

How long has it been since the plot began, but the Soul Palace has already extended its tentacles to the Gama Empire. In a few years, will they even investigate the identity and origin of the Xiao family and directly seize the Emperor Jade?

"The efficiency of these lonely ghosts is really scary... one year of peace and tranquility, three years of controlling the leader, and ten years of direct chaos."

Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.

As expected, in the fantasy world, extreme exploitation of labor is the most efficient way. Even life and death are in the hands of the leaders, so how dare these minions not work hard?

Anyone who dares to slack off will be kept in line by the last-in-first-out elimination system.

"Uh~ Sir, that's all I know."

The guardian Wu retracted his hands nervously. He had racked his brains and written desperately, but the scroll in front of him was only half filled, and if folded into words, there would be only about 18,000 words.

"puff!"

The flame suddenly appeared.

"Hey...wait! Don't rush to do anything, I have something else to add...some news, I suddenly remembered some fragments of my previous amnesia!"

The guardian Wu suddenly panicked and waved his hand to block the way: "Since I left the branch hall last time, I found that many guardians were rushing back as if they had received an order. Especially in recent days, the flow of people has been more obvious!"

"Then?"

The flame in Xiao Yan's hand became even more vigorous.

"So...so..."

Wu Ying stumbled over what was going on. What could he guess with just this little information?

The branch hall itself is short of manpower? The Soul Hall is planning to abandon the Northwest Continent?
It’s impossible to even think about it…

"If the call was sent to all the guardians, it doesn't make sense that I was the only one who didn't receive the notification."

Guardian Wu gritted his teeth and thought. Xiao Yan's strange fire was getting closer and closer to him, and a layer of burning illusory gray flames had already appeared on the surface of his soul body.

"Level? It's level!"

Perhaps it was because he took one more look at Xiao Yan's strength between life and death, a light bulb suddenly flashed in Wuying's mind, and he shouted excitedly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"I understand... Sir! Those guardians who were summoned back are all human-level. Those low-level Dou Zongs who have no hope of promotion can only have one possibility when they are gathered together!"

The guardian Wu pointed to the ball of light deep in his soul and said: "The Soul Palace is in urgent need of soul essence now. We need to get rid of those useless rubbish. If they don't make any significant contributions, they will only die!"

Shortage of the origin? Could it be the Void Devouring Flame?
Xiao Yan's eyes trembled.

The purpose of the Soul Palace collecting the soul origin is to raise the soul realm of Void Devouring Flame to the Emperor Realm, so that he can obtain the qualifications to fight against Gu Yuan.

Although his situation could only delay Gu Yuan's hands and feet slightly, and he would be crushed once the opponent got serious, but as long as he could free up the top combat force, Emperor Hun Tian, he would have secured the victory.

Void Devouring Flame can rely on the resistance of his strange fire body to withstand Gu Yuan's full-strength attack and remain unkilled. But can the old guys from the Yan and Lei clans withstand the Soul Emperor?

"If the Void Devouring Flame really needs souls, then we're in big trouble..."

Although the Soul Clan was undoubtedly the strongest on paper during the past thousand years, in reality all of its high-level fighters were lying dead.

Not only was Emperor Hun Tian seriously injured when he was besieging Xiao Xuan and had to rest, but Xuwu Tunyan was also seriously injured by a slap from Gu Yuan when he met him.

Without top-notch combat power to hold the fort, the remaining minions were nothing more than cats and dogs, unable to withstand the heavy bombardment of the Gu Yuan and Yan Lei clans. They could only hide in the Soul Realm and wait for their chance.

"Since he has already started collecting souls and trying to reach the Emperor Realm, that guy should have completely recovered and can take action at any time to eliminate the three Spirit Stone Medicine Clans."

Xiao Yan looked a little ugly.

Such a nine-star Douluo who can attack at will, plus the second-ranked strange fire body, and the soul realm that has reached the great perfection of the heavenly level.

This kind of strength is at the absolute peak in the entire continent. Unless Gu Yuan can suppress him, no one can stop him.

And what Xiao Yan is doing now is completely aimed at disrupting the plans of Xuwu and Emperor Hun Tian.

"If he gets any clues, he will definitely take action to eliminate the threat himself, right?"

Xiao Yan silently sentenced to death all the people from the Soul Palace he would meet in the future. If anyone of them leaked his news, who knows if a ghost would knock on the door in the middle of the night or come to your house.

"The only good news is that Emperor Hun Tian is still in bed. It should be close to the opening of the Heavenly Tomb that he will recover his ability to attack and officially start the Millennium Plan."

Roughly estimating the time when the incident occurred, Xiao Yan looked at the guardian Wu in mid-air and confirmed it one last time: "Now you should tell me everything, right? Are you sure there is nothing left?"

“Yes…Yes…”

Wu Ying carefully observed Xiao Yan's movements, and when he saw him chuckle as if he was relieved, his mood gradually improved.

Seeing the satisfied look on the gentleman's face, he felt that his life was saved.

As long as he doesn't reveal the fact that he betrayed the Soul Palace to anyone in the future, he can continue to live as a cool guardian.

After all, with the relaxed management system of the Soul Palace, he could wander around for more than ten years before returning. This buffer time was enough for him to contact a large number of colleagues and obtain relevant intelligence.

If the wind direction is wrong, kill them on the spot and run to the corners that are not yet under the control of the Soul Palace.

"Now that I have told you everything I know, you see..."

The guardian Wu showed off his whole body: "My soul is not worth much anyway, so just treat me as a fart. I can still be a spy and continue to gather information for you..." This guy~
Xiao Yan was thinking about how to deal with this guy: "Teacher, what do you think?"

"Ah? Xiao Yanzi, you don't really want to let him go?"

Yao Lao was stunned for a moment, then he advised anxiously: "It would be a nuisance if we keep this guy. The soul imprint he left on us cannot be hidden at all. No matter how we operate, we will be exposed to the sight of the Soul Palace."

"Once they lock on us, at least a high-level Dou Zong Heaven-level guardian will take action! Even the elders may take action."

The Soul Palace guardian dying in the line of duty and being deliberately targeted by rebel forces in secret are two completely different things.

The former would at most involve some personnel transfers and sending some bodyguards to take the blame, but the latter would attract a specially organized hunting team.

When Yao Lao was alive, the alchemists had spontaneously organized several sniper revenge attacks. At the beginning, they won victory after victory and achieved significant results, which shocked the entire Zhongzhou.

But the final outcome can be described as horrific. All the strong men who participated in this incident were killed by at least Dou Zun level, and only one in ten survived. Even the various forces behind them were attacked and chose to cut off their relationship, and the entire revenge action came to nothing.

This incident also led to Danta stepping in to sort it out, defining it as a simple conflict of power, and saving the lives of the remaining few people through a cowardly apology...

'Those high-ranking imperial clans actually regarded it as a minor incident and had no intention of restricting the expansion of the Soul Palace's power.'

Yao Lao had long been accustomed to those people's cold-eyed observation, but he still couldn't understand why they would allow this force that obviously belonged to the Soul Clan to slowly control the continent.

It can't be because Danta has a six-star Dousheng, right? Or is it because the power of the alchemists is too huge?
We can't just sit back and watch the Soul Palace slowly devour the world just because of the agreement that Zhongzhou can only use Dou Shengs below five stars...

“I just want to ask, is there any way to refine souls into pills?” Xiao Yan looked helpless, “I finally met a Dou Zong cannon fodder, I have to find a way to maximize the benefits!”

Released?

Does he look like the kind of man who would show mercy?
"This……"

Yao Lao's voice paused, and he spoke with a complicated expression: "Xiao Yanzi, my lineage has always regarded the art of human pills as a taboo, I advise you not to have such thoughts."

"Is he a human being now?"

Xiao Yan held his forehead with his hand.

"……no."

Yao Lao glanced at Wu Ying a few times. After years of practicing soul skills, he had long lost his vitality. His soul was cold and gloomy, not like a living being. He was almost sitting at the same table with Chong Shi.

"Isn't that right? If I digest the soul essence of this guy in front of me, I should be able to recover to the level of four stars, right? Taking into account the blessing of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, I can even count it as five stars."

Xiao Yan snapped his fingers and tied up Wuying, who was looking down in relief. "It doesn't matter if the actual recovery effect is a little worse. There are so many guardians on the list in my hand. When the time comes, pick a few and devour them. It will definitely reach four stars."

"I..."

Yao Lao hesitated for a long while, and finally sighed and gave in to his wish: "Well. He has devoured so many souls, it's time for him to be eaten back, just as revenge for those who were harmed."

Today he has broken the ancestral rules, and he doesn't know how those ancestors will look at him.

"Xiao Yanzi, light the fire and start the furnace! I will reluctantly show you what this Human Pill... er, Soul Pill Taboo looks like!"

Yao Lao rolled up his sleeves and gave a final word of caution: "I am only teaching you the general idea of this kind of thing. Learning it is only to better deal with those beasts. Do not use it to harm living beings and bring disaster to the continent."

He had seen many examples of people losing their humanity for power. The human pill method made rapid progress, and its temptation was not something that ordinary people could bear. Especially for those who were stuck at a bottleneck and could not make any progress, it was common for them to do something desperate to break through the realm.

And his expelled junior fellow apprentice was like this...

With the talent Xiao Yan has shown, if he were to harm common people in the future, no one in this world would be able to stop him.

"Me? To bring disaster to the continent?"

Xiao Yan stared and pointed at himself, suddenly feeling that this world was too bizarre.

What if he chooses to harm the continent? Isn't the dual soul emperor a pure dead end?
At that time, Gu Xun'er and Zi Yan will work together to kill the two demons?

"No...you still have to have some confidence in me."

Xiao Yan pretended to be deeply wronged and said, "How could a good man like me who has cultivated for ten lifetimes do such a thing!"

"Who can tell clearly about this kind of thing?"

Yao Lao snorted: "I can see your desire for strength. If I cannot achieve your psychological expectations in the future, who knows what you will choose to do?"
