Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 223 A Struggling Heart
"That's quite interesting, Guardian Wu."

Gently putting the token in her hand into the ring, Hun Ruoruo looked cold and let out a long, depressed sigh.

It was no longer a secret to Hun Ruoruo that Yunlan Sect became the back garden of Soul Palace.

But no matter how much Yun Ling and others are influenced by the Soul Palace, they will at least have some scruples on the surface. For example, the upright image of Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran is the best facade for the Yunlan Sect to hide its filth.

But this Dharma Protector Wu is completely different from these hypocritical people.

Although the Soul Palace is only a branch sent out by the Soul Clan, the ruthlessness of its actions is no less than that of the others. It can even be said that it has no bottom line at all.

It is precisely because of this that Hun Ruoruo's fear of this protector is much greater than that of Yunshan, who is also a Dou Zong. He is definitely the only enemy in the Northwest Region that can threaten her at present.

“Once you start, there’s no turning back.”

Hun Ruoruo murmured softly, and then her figure flashed and disappeared into the cave.

Arriving at the back mountain, the moment the girl stepped onto the top of the mountain, a large amount of black fog suddenly surged out of the sea of ​​clouds below the mountain, covering the sky and the sun. It then quickly condensed in the sky and finally turned into a deep fog ball about ten feet long.

Hun Ruoruo looked at the constantly surging black mist, which was exactly the same as the fluctuations she had sensed on the Soul Order before. Her expression under the black robe became more solemn.

"Protector Wu, it's our first meeting. It's rare that you're so concerned about me." Hun Ruoruo said in a low voice.

After hearing Hun Ruoruo's words, the space around the black fog became a little distorted, and a sinister and strange laugh was heard, as sharp as the cry of a black crow.

"Hehehe, Frost Soul Envoy can hunt down sixth-level monsters even after just entering the Douhuang realm. With such talent and strength, this guardian naturally cannot help but pay attention to you. If I can recommend you to the Zhongzhou branch hall in the future, it will surely make the elder very happy."

"You're overpraising me, Guardian Wu. With my current strength, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be ranked high in a place like Zhongzhou, right?"

Her eyes became a little strange, Hun Ruoruo shook her head imperceptibly and declined politely.

"Your Douhuang level of cultivation is indeed not ranked high in Zhongzhou, but with my Soul Palace as your backing, few in the entire Zhongzhou dare to touch you."

The black fog contracted and fluctuated, and then under Hun Ruoruo's gaze, it slowly condensed into a human figure. A pair of crimson eyes emitted a strange light from the darkness.

Could it be that this person wants to win me over?
Hun Ruoruo frowned slightly, her mind racing, and then she slowly said, "I understand your kindness, Protector Wu. If there's an opportunity, I will accompany you to Zhongzhou."

"However, your sudden appearance today shouldn't be just to offer me an olive branch, right?"

"The Frost Soul Envoy is a clever man. If that's the case, then I won't keep you in suspense."

Guardian Wu nodded, then glanced at the Soul Order in Hun Ruoruo's hand and said:
"The beast soul you obtained earlier, although at the Douhuang level, is only as effective as the weakest Douwang soul. You should be aware of this, right?"

Hearing this, Hun Ruoruo was not surprised at all. Beast souls are inherently weaker than human souls, and she had never thought that she could continue to enjoy the many resources of the Soul Palace by relying solely on a Douhuang-level beast soul.

In a place where the law of the jungle prevails, if you want to obtain resources, you must provide more value.

"You mean, I need to continue hunting souls?"

Hun Ruoruo chuckled, "But as far as I know, Dou Wang-level soul bodies are almost rare in the Jia Ma Empire. Finding one is not an easy task."

"Besides hunting for high-level souls, there are naturally other optional tasks."

Guardian Wu looked at her deeply and said, "It depends on either quality or quantity. If you can obtain enough low-level soul light balls, then of course the mission is completed. You don't have to worry about that."

"Generally speaking, those who can become high-level soul envoys will infiltrate certain public forces and reach cooperation with them. In this way, they can continuously obtain low-level soul light balls."

"Oh?" Hun Ruoruo seemed to remember something, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "For example, Yunling Soul Envoy?"

"That's right." Guardian Wu nodded. "Otherwise, with his strength, it would be difficult for him to reach the threshold of a high-level soul master."

"That being said, considering the current time, it's probably unrealistic for me to find a force to infiltrate."

Hun Ruoruo spread her hands lightly, her tone gradually becoming anxious, "Apart from these two, is there no other mission to choose from?"

Upon hearing this, a strange color flashed in the crimson eyes of the guardian Wu, and he suddenly laughed hoarsely. Then he stretched out his hand, took Hun Ruoruo's token, and urged his soul power to pour into it.

"Complete this mission, and this guardian will also count you as having passed!"

Suddenly, blood-like lines appeared on the originally pitch-black Soul Order, crisscrossing and crawling all over the surface of the token. "Looking for the Xiao family's Patriarch."

Just six short words, as if with magic, instantly attracted Hun Ruoruo's attention, causing her breathing to stagnate, and the speculation in her heart finally became a reality.

as predicted.

The purpose of the other party coming here is to get the ancient jade of the Xiao family!
Thoughts flashed through her mind, and then she feigned ignorance, her expression unchanged as she asked, "What does Protector Wu mean by this?"

"Don't ask too much about the specific purpose. You just need to know that the Xiao family's patriarch is just an ant at the level of a Grand Fighter Master. There's no need to take it too seriously."

The guardian Wu smiled sinisterly, then slowly said, "However, although this mission is simple, you can't accept it now. Old man Yunshan is very concerned about his reputation. He said he would wait until the younger generation finishes their competition before looking for an opportunity. If you are interested, you should keep an eye out for it."

As beings of the same guardian level, even though Yunshan's status is lower, Guardian Wu did not behave too domineeringly.

After all, the Yunlan Sect has indeed played an indispensable role in attracting so many powerful soul masters to the Soul Palace.

Moreover, in order to get Yunshan to join the Soul Palace, he agreed to help the other party improve his cultivation and expand his power. Naturally, there was no reason to tear his face off in a hurry.

After finishing his words of recruitment, the black mist-like body of the Wu Guardian instantly dissipated like a ghost, leaving only a lingering evil aura in the air, which then gathered into a soul transmission.
"Although this guardian is quite optimistic about you, you must remember that what happened today must not be spread to others, otherwise..."

The cold snort sounded like the howling of a ghost, and then became louder and louder, enough to make even the Douhuang strongmen tremble.

"."

After a while, the isolation barrier supported by Dou Zong-level cultivation gradually collapsed into a sky full of light points.

When the eerie atmosphere completely disappeared, Hun Ruoruo's previous disguise was also completely retracted, and was replaced by a strong sense of fear.

"A Dou Zong four-star. It'll take quite a while to capture his soul. If he escapes, I'm afraid the Soul Palace Master will be aware of my presence within half a month, right?"

Although Hun Ruoruo's eyes were dim, there was no retreat or fear in her heart. Instead, there was an indescribable complexity.

Are you afraid of dying?
Of course she was afraid.

Once her plan to destroy the Yunlan Sect is exposed, what awaits her is either the endless pursuit by the Soul Palace or being forcibly taken back to the Soul Clan after activating the Heavenly Venerable Order. In either case, it is a dead end.

But it is not easy to become stronger quickly.
Hun Ruoruo had already gotten used to it.

What really made her feel complicated was the other party's true purpose, which he had inadvertently revealed in order to recruit her.

Isn't the so-called Xiao family patriarch Xiao Yan's father?
"Do you want to take action?"

The scene of Xiao Yan foolishly showing off his elder and second brothers to her flashed through her mind. Hun Ruoruo felt indescribably blocked in her heart, and for a moment she felt that the young man's smile was so dazzling.

In order to achieve her goals, she always ignores all feelings, but this does not mean that she has no feelings.

After spending such a long time together, even if it is just a pet, there will be some emotions attached to it, let alone a living person?

She secretly called Xiao Yan a pug, simply because she thought his silly look was indeed cute, and it did make her feel relaxed and relieved, which was a rare feeling. That was all.

But she never treated him as anything less than a human being.

He is flesh and blood, loyal and righteous. Even though I am obviously taking advantage of Xiao Yan, I have to admire this about him.

She considers herself a bad person, bad to the core, completely bad, but as long as one is a human being, they will eventually yearn for beautiful things, no matter whether they are good or bad, there is no exception.

"There's still time. There's still time. Let's wait and see."

The girl murmured to herself, a trace of struggle flashed across her deep pupils. She loosened her clenched hands, revealing traces of blood on the palms of her hands caused by her fingernails.

"Xiao Yan."

Hun Ruoruo's eyes flickered, and he finally walked down the mountain quietly.
