Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 33 Xiao Yan is covered in a sack

After entering the Alchemist Guild's treasury, Hun Qing, following Yao Chen's advice, selected medicinal herbs.

As for the Amethyst Winged Lion King, although its eyes gleamed at the rare and precious treasures around it, it always remembered Hun Qing's good words and did not touch them indiscriminately.

After picking and choosing for a long time, Hun Qinghao happily left the treasure vault with a pile of rare and precious materials.

Master Otto returned the purple-gold card (after deducting fees) to Hun Qinghao, then smiled and handed her a black invitation card with gold lettering. "Miss Qing, there will be a grand auction in Blackrock City in three days. This is an invitation from our Alchemist Guild. If you would like, you can come with us in three days."

"An auction?" Hun Qinghao looked at the black invitation and nodded in agreement. "Okay, let's go take a look. Maybe there'll be something that interests me."

"In that case, Miss Qing, why don't you stay at our Alchemist Guild? We can travel together in three days."

"Okay." Hun Qing agreed without even thinking. It didn't matter where she stayed, and it would save her the trouble of finding a place to stay outside.

"Alright, I'll take Miss Qing to your room right away. Don't worry, the guest rooms at our Alchemist Guild will definitely satisfy you!" Master Otto smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum and enthusiastically led Hun Qinghao in one direction.

In the rather luxurious guest room, Hun Qing saw Master Otto off. As soon as the door closed, Yao Chen couldn't wait to come out of the ring.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was very perceptive; upon seeing Yao Chen emerge, he quietly found a place to sit down.

Hun Qinghao slowly sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and sipped it slowly.

Yao Chen moved closer to her, his eyes brimming with laughter, "Little Qing'er, you told that guard I was your teacher, did you admit...?"

"Hey, stop!" Hun Qing paused in his tea-drinking, raised his hand to interrupt Yao Chen, rolled his eyes at him, and said rudely, "What are you thinking? I only said that in front of outsiders, I didn't admit it in my heart."

Yao Chen's smile froze, a sense of disappointment creeping into his heart. He then sighed helplessly, lamenting, "Sigh, you're such a stubborn girl, and sometimes really hard to deal with!"

Hun Qinghao took a sip of tea without saying a word, but in her heart she was thinking, she was the young master of the Soul Clan, born to stand at the top of this world, so what if she had a little temper?

She might acknowledge him as her teacher in name only after they've spent more time together, but definitely not now.

Hun Qinghao put down the cup, waved his hand, and handed Yao Chen a pile of medicinal herbs. "These are the herbs you asked me to buy. Go and make medicine for me."

"Sigh!" Yao Chen shook his head and sighed, then took the medicinal herbs and went to the side to refine medicine. He finally understood that the little girl really only saw him as a tool for refining pills.

Meanwhile, in Wutan City, under a dark and windy night, Xiao Yan, dressed in a black robe, was returning from the auction house to sell pills when a black sack suddenly fell from the sky and trapped him inside.

"Who... ah..." Xiao Yan was terrified. He had just spoken when he was punched. A sharp pain shot through his body, causing him to cry out in pain.

Bang bang bang!

"Ah...ah..."

Two masked men in black began to beat Xiao Yan, who was trapped in a sack. Xiao Yan screamed in agony, which was especially eerie on the dark and windy night.

At this moment, another man in black appeared, also masked. As soon as he appeared, one of the two men in black nudged Xiao Yan and respectfully asked, "Your Highness, why don't you try it yourself?"

The man in black who arrived later shook his head and said in a low voice, "Let's go, those two will be here soon."

So the three of them threw Xiao Yan into the alley and then disappeared without a trace. Apart from Xiao Yan, who had been beaten, no one knew that they had been there.

Xiao Yan moved his fingers and felt that there was no more sound outside. He climbed out of the sack and found that there was no one around.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Xiao Yan gripped the sack tightly, gritting his teeth in anger. "Damn it! I'm so unlucky! You better not find out who you are, or I'll definitely collect all your souls into the Soul Lamp to avenge this day!"

Xiao Yan

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Two voices rang out, and Hun Dan and Xiao Xun'er arrived one after the other.

Seeing Xiao Yan's bruised and swollen face, Xiao Xun'er felt very distressed. "Brother Xiao Yan, who hurt you?"

After sensing his surroundings, Hun Dan found nothing and frowned, asking, "Who on earth is trying to attack you, managing to bypass my senses?"

He was a Dou Zong and a sixth-grade alchemist with considerable soul strength. In such a small place as Wutan City, someone actually managed to attack Xiao Yan without his knowledge, bypassing his senses.

Xiao Xun'er's expression was solemn. It was one thing that she and Ling Ying hadn't discovered anything, but she hadn't expected that even Hun Dan, a Dou Zong, hadn't sensed anything. It was likely that the person who attacked Brother Xiao Yan was at least a high-level Dou Zong, or even a Dou Zun.

Why would such a being attack Xiao Yan, who only has the cultivation of a Dou Zhe, without actually killing him? What was their intention?

Is it just for fun?

Xiao Xun'er was completely baffled.

"I, cough cough..." Xiao Yan wanted to say something, but he coughed twice while clutching his chest.

Seeing this, Hun Dan handed him a healing pill he had made himself, saying, "We'll talk about it later, you should heal first."

Xiao Yan nodded, took the healing pills, swallowed them, and sat down on the ground to regulate his breathing.

A short while later, Xiao Yan felt better and opened his eyes. He stood up and looked at Hun Dan and Xiao Xun'er, saying, "There were three people. I heard the two who attacked me call the other person 'Your Highness'."

"Your Highness? Could it be the royal family of one of the two great empires of the Northwest Continent?" Hun Dan guessed.

Xiao Xun'er immediately retorted, "Impossible. Neither the royal families of the Jia Ma Empire nor the Chu Yun Empire have Dou Zong level experts. They don't have the ability to hide from the perception of a Dou Zong level expert like you."

The bastard belatedly nodded, "That makes sense."

"I also think Xun'er makes a lot of sense, because even the Void Devouring Flame was completely suppressed, and all the Soul Clan techniques and fighting skills that my junior sister gave me were suppressed."

Xiao Yan knew that Hun Qinghao's background was extraordinary. The Hun Clan was definitely a super powerful force. If the Hun Clan didn't even care about the Yunlan Sect, how could their cultivation techniques and fighting skills be suppressed by the royal families of the two great empires?

Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Xiao Xun'er was still wondering which of the eight ancient clans the ferocious beast might be, while Hun Dan glanced at Xiao Xun'er suspiciously.

In his opinion, the ancient clans that always opposed their Soul Clan were highly suspicious; otherwise, why would such powerful figures let Xiao Yan go?

One look at that scoundrel's eyes and Xiao Xun'er knew he had misunderstood, but with Xiao Yan present, she couldn't explain.

Hun Dan looked at Xiao Yan and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about this for now. I will send a message to inform the young master."

If the person who can completely suppress the Void Devouring Flame and their Soul Clan's techniques and fighting skills is just an individual, it's manageable. But if it's a hidden force, then it's definitely a formidable enemy!
