Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 502 Taste this blood revenge!
Looking at the tall and majestic figure in front of him, Xiao Yan didn't dare to breathe. He felt that even moving his feet had become extremely difficult at this moment.

Caught up.
Although they were both souls in the Spirit Realm, it was not until their previous meeting that Xiao Yan realized just how huge the gap between himself and the Dou Zun was.

Dou Qi, body, consciousness, and soul aside, Xiao Yan couldn't even find a single thing that was similar to the other party. That was an existence beyond the scope of human beings and could not be measured by common sense at all.

He secretly rubbed the ring on his fingertips, and after feeling the rough texture of the ring, he gradually regained his composure. The fear in his heart surged like a tide.

It turned out that the reason why he was able to return at the critical moment was actually because Venerable Tianhuo risked his life to send him the soul robe, and with the help of his camouflage fighting skills, he was able to barely conceal his breath.

If it weren't for the fact that this Qinghai Venerable didn't regard him as a threat at all, he would have easily sensed the unusual aura around him even just for a moment!

After escaping from the gates of hell, Xiao Yan, while feeling relieved, cast his gaze inadvertently towards the familiar black shadow behind the Qinghai Reverend, as if trying to find some clues from it.

"Since you chose to tell me false information, why did this Shadow Protector buy me time earlier?"

Xiao Yan was filled with doubts.

Knowing that he couldn't possibly break off relations with him right now, he took a deep breath, turned his gaze back to the Qinghai Reverend, and said with a fist clasped, "Your Excellency, I didn't know you were coming in person, so I didn't take the initiative to greet you. I hope you can forgive me."

"It doesn't matter."

Venerable Qinghai laughed dumbly. "To be honest, the one who doesn't know the rules is your old superior. He dared to come to the hall to meet me without wearing a soul robe or carrying a soul token. If he weren't an old acquaintance, I'm afraid he would be treated as some idler."

Soul Order? Soul Robe?
After hearing the other party's story, Xiao Yan blinked and almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

You know, one cannot bring personal belongings when meeting the emperor. This is a rule acknowledged by Shadow Protector himself. Otherwise, he would not have had the opportunity to steal the other party's token and enter the dungeon.

But now, what Reverend Qinghai said turned all his previous inferences upside down.

Xiao Yan reluctantly said, "Haha, Shadow Protector often told his subordinates that he has a special relationship with you. Now it seems that I am indeed envious of him."

"Okay, stop praising this rigid guy."

Reverend Qinghai glanced at the shadow guardian standing like a stick behind him, then smiled and said, "From today on, you are the Heavenly Guardian of my Soul Palace, on equal footing with him. Whether you want to establish a temporary Soul Palace on your own or stay in a branch palace is entirely up to you."

Upon hearing this, the Shadow Guardian guarding the door was startled and said in surprise, "Sir, it seems that it is against the rules to be able to choose to live in a branch hall right after being promoted."

The Qinghai Venerable frowned, "Could it be that my words are not as effective as a fixed rule?"

".Don't dare."

"In that case, let's leave it as it is for now. Since you've just been promoted, you probably still have many tasks to complete. Once you've finished your current tasks, please come to the branch hall and give me your answer."

Venerable Qinghai did not wait for the other party's response and made a simple and clear decision.

He turned his head and gave Xiao Yan a meaningful look, then straightened his clothes and slowly walked out of the room.

"I have other matters to attend to. Ying Mo, if you have nothing else to report, take Protector Yan and leave. There are many people in the palace, and there are many who are targeting you."

Looking at the tall figure walking away slowly in the distance, Shadow Protector's lips trembled, but he finally just lowered his head slowly.

"Yes."

After obtaining the token of the Heavenly Grade Protector, Xiao Yan and the others quickly walked out of the hall and set out to return to the Tianjian Mountains.

As the two walked out of the branch hall, black crows swarmed over them like a tide, their greedy and bloody eyes staring straight down, but as if they were afraid, they just kept circling around them.

Looking at the black crows' nest whose desire to attack suddenly became extremely strong, Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Crows eat carrion, and there are only living people here, so how could they be targeted by this group of evil creatures?

"What exactly is this."

Seeing Xiao Yan seemed puzzled, Shadow Protector smiled hoarsely:

"Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to hide from you. You have been personally taught by the Valley Master and are the only hope left for the Sound Valley. No one should have allowed you to put yourself in danger. However, I am a soul slave, and apart from this method, I have no other way to resist them."

"Sure enough, it was you who set the trap!"

Xiao Yan had suspected that the other party was connected to the Sound Valley, but he never expected that this near-peak Dou Zong figure had noticed him from the very beginning. He felt a sudden sense of absurdity. Shadow Protector didn't deny it, but simply said, "Venerable Tianxin, who can be sure that they can guess? I thought that if I could understand his temperament in advance, I could find a foolproof plan. It's ridiculous that he never even gave me the slightest bit of slack."

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, "So, from the moment I pretended to mention Yin Valley, you guessed that I would come to this branch hall to gather intelligence?"

The Shadow Protector nodded calmly: "Not bad."

"What do you take me for?"

Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly became fierce, and the raging black flames swept across the sky like a howling gale. Under the extremely scorching heat, countless black crows fell to the ground, like a pouring rain.

"You know, if I hadn't successfully broken through before rushing to the branch hall, the appearance of the Qinghai Venerable would have cost me my life!"

The Shadow Protector shook his head and smiled: "He can't kill you."

"What did you say?"

Before Xiao Yan could react, a powerful wave came over him that made his soul tremble violently. Looking again, the soul robe on Shadow Protector moved without wind, and his face had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The originally stiff and lifeless face was now gradually showing a little blood color, and the messy hair that had not been taken care of for a long time was flying, revealing a face that was very similar to Mo Yi.

"My name is Mo Ying."

This simple sentence was like a heavy hammer, suddenly hitting Xiao Yan's heart.

Ying Mo, Mo Ying, such a simple reversal of names, he did not realize the meaning behind it until now.

No one could have imagined that the people of Yin Valley, who had a blood feud with the Soul Palace, would choose to serve the Soul Palace!
The Shadow Protector stretched out his hand and clenched it, as if recalling the long-lost power of the ban:
"Qinghai claims to be old with me, but he's just wary of my soul power. The gap in soul realm is too great. Even a soul seal can't wipe me out in such a short time. And that time is enough for me to do many things."

Although it was not stated explicitly, Xiao Yan obviously understood what the other party meant.

There is absolutely no possibility for an Eight-Star Dou Zong to try to shake Dou Zun, and the only way to pose a threat to him is self-destruction!

Although Xiao Yan was extremely dissatisfied with this kind of exploitation and calculation, the other party's attitude of not hesitating to sacrifice his life for him still made it difficult for him to say any words of accusation. He knew that he had also calculated against the other party.

In fact, if he had made the situation clear at the beginning, he wouldn't have had to act so hastily. Even rescuing Mo Yi wouldn't be completely impossible. But now that things have come to this, saying anything more would obviously be a bit too pretentious.

"Mo Yi looks similar to him, so they must be closely related. He would rather give up rescuing him than conceal this information. Could it be that he has something to hide?"

Xiao Yan's eyes flickered, and he immediately suppressed his dissatisfaction and said as calmly as possible: "No matter what the situation is, now that we have obtained the token, the most urgent thing is to leave here first."

Shadow Protector did not agree, but said to himself: "I can't leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, the powerful soul power surrounding his body cracked into a tiny gap. In less than a few breaths, dense cracks spread all over the soul body.

Along with the silent crisp sound of the light spot shattering, a strong stench like the dead soul, exactly the same as the one in the Soul Palace, instantly penetrated Xiao Yan's nasal cavity, making his stomach churn and almost vomit.

At this point, Xiao Yan clearly understood the implication of this and cried out in horror, "Senior, you... you've been corrupted by the Soul Seal?!"

The news of Yin Valley is top secret. Except for those who have the personal permission of Reverend Qinghai, anyone else who leaks it will be ruthlessly erased by the Soul Seal. It is no wonder that Mo Yi said before that the newly promoted Heavenly Protector did not know the news of Yin Valley.

The man's voice became intermittent, but he still insisted on answering, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that with my realm, if I told you in advance, I wouldn't be able to escort you out of this branch hall. I apologize."

He tore off his soul robe, then used his palm as a knife and stabbed it into his dantian in an instant. He took out a blood-stained storage ring and threw it at Xiao Yan.

"All my savings from thirty years of slavery remain untouched. Revive the Sound Valley!"

The man raised his hands high, like an ancient wizard. Countless crazy and bloodthirsty crows pounced on him in an instant, blocking all vision with their black mass.

Blood, flesh and rags continued to fall from the flock of crows, and sharp and piercing cries rose one after another, vying for a share of the thin, hunched body. Gradually, as the man's figure gradually faded away, the cries of the crows turned into human voices, crazy and sad, bloody and hateful.

"Eat this flesh and blood to avenge my blood!"

"Eat this flesh and blood to avenge my blood feud!!"
