Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 168 Capturing Protector Lu

On the plaza of the Yunlan Sect, everyone's mood was in turmoil. First, the young sect master of the Yunlan Sect, Nalan Yanran, and Xiao Yan of the Xiao family both unleashed auras no weaker than ordinary Dou Ling.

The two then unleashed a powerful secret technique, a final strike that would have severely injured even a Dou Wang (Battle King) expert if they hadn't been careful, leaving everyone utterly astonished.

It's important to know that even among the top ten strongest individuals in the Jia Ma Empire, several of the lowest-ranked were only Dou Wang level experts. After the intense clash, it was Xiao Yan who miraculously emerged victorious with the fire lotus he had miraculously fused together.

Everyone thought the three-year agreement was over, but unexpectedly, Yun Shan, the previous sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, emerged from seclusion and took Xiao Yan with him, turning the tide of events. The mysterious black-mist figure that appeared afterward shocked everyone even more; it turned out to be another Dou Zong powerhouse.

"Senior Yunshan, it seems Xiao Yan has no obligation to tell you both the origin of this strange fire!"

Just as everyone was waiting to see what would happen, an unexpected figure slowly appeared in front of them.

"Master Lin Feng, please forgive me, but today our young friend Xiao Yan must reveal the origin of this strange fire!"

Yun Shan was slightly polite to the top alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire, but then refused him decisively.

"Hehehe, Yunshan, this protector dislikes your hypocritical appearance. Lin Feng, is it? Today, not only Xiao Yan, but you too will have to obediently surrender!"

Just then, the Heron Protector, hidden in the black mist, spoke again, his words filled with extreme arrogance.

"Yunshan, make your move! If you help me capture these people today, I will definitely promote you to the intermediate Dou Zong realm."

"Master Lin Feng, young friend Xiao Yan, in that case, please accompany Protector Lu on this trip!"

"Old Ghost Yunshan, Master Lin Feng saved my life, but with me, Hai Bodong, here today, I cannot let you have your way!"

"Lin Feng is a guest elder of our Alchemist Guild; he cannot be manipulated by anyone!"

"."

Just as Yunshan and Protector Lu were about to make their move, Hai Bodong and the others, who had been watching from the sidelines, spread their wings and flew towards the center of the square, standing firmly in front of Lin Feng.

"Thank you all. After this, if you need any pills refined, just let me know!"

"Haha, Master Lin Feng, you're too kind. That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's promise, Hai Bodong laughed heartily. Having already reached the eight-star Dou Huang level, he harbored a strong ambition: "Perhaps, I, Hai Bodong, will one day be known as the Ice Master!"

"Hmph, ungrateful wretch! Yunshan, make your move!"

"My old friends, it seems I'll have to witness your progress today!"

As Yunshan finished speaking, a dazzling light flashed from his hand—it was the Wind's Extreme—Sunset Radiance that Nalan Yanran had just used! The same move, when used by different people, had vastly different power.

"Master Lin Feng, we'll leave Yunshan to you!"

"Mystic Ice Dragon Soars!"

Just as Lin Feng was about to intervene, Hai Bodong and the others took action and intercepted Yun Shan's fighting technique. Afterwards, Yun Shan and Hai Bodong led the battle outside the Yunlan Sect, leaving only Protector Lu, Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, and the others in the original location.

As for Yun Yun, she had already silently disappeared from the plaza when Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran's final match began. Only a few elders, including Yun Leng, remained from the Yunlan Sect. Seeing this, Lin Feng made his decision.

"It seems Yunshan must have informed Yunyun of the plan, and it appears that Elders Yunling and the others have already been controlled by Protector Lu and abandoned by Yunshan!"

Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but admire Yun Shan's decisiveness. In order not to expose the plan, he had given up several elders at the Dou Wang level.

"Master Yao, make your move!"

"Why"

As Lin Feng finished speaking, a sigh slowly emanated from Xiao Yan's storage ring, followed by the appearance of an aged soul, none other than Medicine Venerable Yao Chen!

"Hehehe, Yao Chen, today I've struck it rich! As long as I complete the mission of capturing you, I'll have a real chance of becoming a high-level Dou Zong!"

Upon seeing the target appear in the hall, Protector Lu was overjoyed. What surprised him even more was that Yao Chen's aura was only at the Dou Huang realm. He had really hit the jackpot today.

"Elder Yao, make your move! We'll split this guy's soul essence between us!"

Just as Protector Lu was still laughing hysterically and the black mist was trembling, Lin Feng secretly set up a Five Elements Barrier around the Yunlan Sect's plaza. He then summoned the Yaotian Fire and secretly transmitted his voice to explain Protector Lu's background.

In Lin Feng's hand, a soul entity slowly appeared, which was none other than the Radiant Heavenly Fire!

"Elder Yao, Elder Yao, let's all unleash our most powerful techniques and kill this Guardian Lu in one blow!"

Upon receiving Lin Feng's telepathic message, Yao Tianhuo and Yao Chen both nodded almost imperceptibly. Meanwhile, within the black mist above the plaza, Protector Lu continued to laugh maniacally.

"The Five-Wheel Fire-Separating Method!"

"Five Elements Seal - Five Saints' Ultimate Kill!"

"Flames Divide and Devour the Waves!"

Three loud shouts rang out in quick succession, startling the Heron Protector from his sweet dream. Seeing the terrifying attack descending, his face showed fear. Before he could retaliate, the attack, imbued with three strange flames, struck him hard!

"Boom!"

After a tremendous roar, Protector Lu, who had only uttered a few harsh words after his appearance, was blasted into dust, and the black mist that filled the sky also dissipated.

"Still trying to run!"

Just then, Lin Feng swiftly launched an attack towards an open space not far away, while Yao Tianhuo and Yao Chen's expressions remained unchanged, as if they had expected it.

"Lin Feng, you dare to kill this protector? The Soul Palace will not let you get away with this!"

The screams stopped abruptly. Protector Lu had already been sealed in a jade bottle by Lin Feng. After sealing it with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Lin Feng put it into his storage ring.

"Master Yao, Junior Brother Xiao Yan, it seems the Soul Palace has already set its sights on you. Even if Protector Lu didn't manage to relay the message back to the Soul Palace, Master Yao's public appearance today means it won't be long before the Soul Palace sends experts to arrest you!"

After subduing Protector Lu, Xiao Yan, who had been beaming with joy, froze on the spot upon hearing Lin Feng's words. He turned to look at his master, only to see that his master also had a solemn expression on his face.

"In my opinion, the best course of action for Junior Brother Xiao Yan is to go to Canaan Academy as soon as possible. Once there, even the Soul Palace will not dare to risk offending the academy's old dean by coming to arrest Yao Lao."

"It seems this is the only way!"
