His body was trembling, and every movement seemed extremely difficult, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. The once powerful aura was now almost gone, leaving only the weak fluctuations that lingered on.

Xiao Ling walked closer and closer. Protector Wu subconsciously wanted to retreat, but he could only collapse to the ground powerlessly, no longer having the strength to resist.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but only a weak and hoarse sound came out. Finally, he could only lower his head weakly, waiting for the judgment of fate, as if he had given up struggling.

Xiao Ling looked at the smoke-filled and devastated scene before him and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this thrilling battle was finally over.

His chest rose and fell rapidly and he gasped for breath, as if trying to fill his lungs with fresh air.

The robe, which was originally clean, tidy and spotless, was now slightly wrinkled and had minor damage in several places.

Yao Chen floated to Xiao Ling's side. The light of his soul body was slightly dim, and it seemed that he had consumed a lot of energy.

Suddenly, Xiao Ling sensed a strange soul fluctuation. He saw that the soul of the guardian Wu, which had almost dissipated, turned into countless tiny points of light, trying to escape under the cover of smoke and dust.

Xiao Ling's eyes narrowed and he snorted coldly: "Still want to escape?"

He quickly formed seals with his hands, and powerful soul power surged out, forming an invisible cage that enveloped all the light spots.

A ray of emerald green flame rose above Xiao Ling's palm, wrapping up those soul light spots. Then Xiao Ling took out a jade bottle and threw it into it. With a wave of his palm, the emerald green flame formed a thin layer of fire curtain at the mouth of the bottle.

With a flash of white light in his hand, Xiao Ling put the jade bottle containing the soul of the Wu Guardian into his storage ring. "I can't let a six-star Dou Zong soul escape like this. It would be great if the Wu Guardian could bring Brother Kang Kuang here, so that we can have another Dou Zong body."

Xiao Ling turned to look at Yao Chen and asked worriedly, "Master Yao, how are you doing?"

Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Yao Chen shook his head lightly and said calmly: "Although my soul power has been consumed, it is not very serious. After I refine this evil spirit, I will take the Seven Illusions Soul Purifying Pill, which will be of great help to my current soul power."

Xiao Ling glanced at the jade bottle in Yao Chen's hand, nodded slightly, then looked around and said in a deep voice: "This commotion is quite big, those people from the imperial capital will surely come to check the situation later. In order to avoid a lot of trouble, we'd better leave this place first."

"Okay, I also need to spend some time to deal with this evil spirit." As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Chen drilled into the bone inflammation ring on Xiao Ling's finger.

Xiao Ling took out a pill that could restore his fighting spirit from his ring, and put it into his mouth. The pill instantly turned into a warm current that dissolved in his stomach. Suddenly, he felt that most of the fighting spirit he had consumed in the battle had been restored, and his body felt much more relaxed.

A pair of cyan-gold wings of fighting spirit spread out behind him. With a slight shake, Xiao Ling turned into a stream of light and flew towards the Holy City of Gama.

Not long after Xiao Ling left, a green light streaked across the sky and quickly arrived at the battlefield.

The light dissipated, revealing a graceful figure, who was none other than Yun Yun, the current clan leader of the Yun Lan Sect.

Yun Yun gazed at the devastated land with her beautiful eyes, her brows furrowed, and her heart was shocked.

The place that was originally covered with undulating mountains and green trees has now turned into a ruin. The huge deep pit is like a hideous wound, which is shocking to the sight. Wisps of green smoke are rising from the charred land, as if telling of the fierceness and cruelty of the battle just now.

Yun Yun looked at the ruins, her mind churning. "Such a tragic scene must be caused by a fierce battle between Dou Zong masters." She thought to herself, "I just don't know which masters are fighting here. If such a terrifying force is aimed at the Jia Ma Empire or the Yun Lan Sect, the consequences will be disastrous."

Chapter 132 Goodbye Hai Bodong

After leaving the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Ling flew back to the Xiao family at lightning speed like a bright stream of light.

In Xiao Ling's courtyard, Zi Yan was sitting leisurely in the pavilion, her legs swinging, one hand holding a brightly colored fruit, chewing it with big mouthfuls, juice flowing down the corners of her mouth.

The Little Medical Fairy was sitting on the soft grass with various bottles and jars placed in front of her. She was concentrating on preparing poison with a focused and serious expression.

Qinglin was squatting aside, holding food in his hands, carefully feeding a group of colorful snake pets, muttering something softly.

Suddenly, the sound of Xiao Ling landing was heard.

Zi Yan suddenly raised her head, with the fruit still in her mouth, and shouted incoherently: "Xiao Ling, you're finally back!" Then she swallowed the uneaten fruit in her hand in one gulp and ran quickly towards Xiao Ling.

When Xiao Yixian heard the voice, she stopped what she was doing, stood up and patted the grass debris on her skirt, and smiled at Xiao Ling, "It seems that it took a little less time than expected. Did things go smoothly?"

Qinglin also quickly put down the food in her hand, and the snake pets scattered. She trotted over, her face filled with joy: "Master Xiao Ling, you are back."

Xiao Ling greeted the three women warmly, his face looking a little tired but still with a gentle smile.

His eyes first fell on the Little Medical Immortal, and Xiao Ling replied, "The pill refining went smoothly." He paused, frowned slightly, and continued, "Just some minor accidents occurred along the way."

At this point, Xiao Ling unconsciously clenched his fists, "But fortunately, Yao Lao and I worked together to solve all those troubles."

"The noise coming from the Monster Mountain Range just now should be caused by you. It seems to be quite loud. Did you encounter someone attacking you?" Zi Yan's eyes rolled around, her face full of curiosity. She asked impatiently with her hands folded in front of her chest.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, his face calm as water, "It's just a Soul Palace guardian who came, and his soul has been sealed by me."

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, Yao Chen also floated out slowly from the Bone Inflammation Ring. With a warm smile on his face, he greeted the three women and Xiao Ling.

Then, Yao Chen said to the four people with a slightly tired look: "The previous incident consumed a lot of energy, I have to go into seclusion to recover."

When Qinglin heard this, his face was full of concern. He hurried forward and asked with worry in his eyes: "Teacher, are you hurt?"

Yao Chen waved his hands, smiled kindly at Qing Lin, and comforted her: "Silly girl, after all, the teacher was also a Dou Zun before, and a mere Soul Palace guardian can't hurt me. After I refine the evil soul I just obtained, and then take the Seven Illusion Soul Purifying Pill that Xiao Ling just refined, my soul power can be greatly restored."

After chatting with a few people for a while, Yao Chen took the Bone Inflammation Ring from Xiao Ling and took away the jade bottle containing the Seven Illusions Soul-Clearing Pills.

He nodded slightly to everyone, then turned and walked towards the training room. Yao Chen's back gradually went away, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight. I believe that after this retreat, Yao Chen's strength should be able to be greatly improved.

……

Two months flew by.

Ever since Yao Chen went into seclusion, Xiao Ling's life has returned to normal.

A fixed period of time is spent every day to practice fighting spirit.

In his spare time, Xiao Ling would accompany Zi Yan, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin to stroll on the bustling streets of Jia Ma Holy City.

He chatted with the three girls in a relaxed manner, stopped to look at interesting things when he saw them, and bought delicious snacks to share with them when he came across them.

Xiao Ling also did not forget Xiao Yan, and from time to time he taught Xiao Yan the knowledge of alchemy, explaining everything in great detail, from the identification of medicinal materials to the control of the fire.

With Xiao Yan's outstanding talent in alchemy and his substantial wealth, under Xiao Ling's guidance, Xiao Yan has now become a second-grade alchemist.

In addition, Xiao Ling would also refine elixirs of grade five or above upon request from others. He would be fully focused and skilled when refining the elixirs. Every time he refined the elixirs, he would hone his skills, and the successfully refined elixirs would also make those who requested the elixirs very happy.

Not only did he gain a lot of benefits and obtain a lot of treasures, but it also allowed the Xiao family to make friends with many forces in the Holy City of Gama.

……

In the spacious and elegant reception room of the Mittel family, Xiao Ling and Hai Bodong were sitting opposite each other.

The maid beside them walked to the table gracefully and gently poured a cup of fragrant tea for each of them.

Xiao Ling picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked across at Hai Bodong, saying slowly, "Looking at Mr. Hai's aura, I think he must have made a breakthrough in his cultivation."

According to Xiao Ling's investigation, Hai Bodong's cultivation has not only recovered, but his realm has also made a breakthrough. He is now a six-star Dou Huang.

After hearing Xiao Ling's words, Hai Bodong's face instantly broke into a brilliant smile, "Haha, after taking the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill refined by Master Xiao Ling, my cultivation successfully recovered to the level of a five-star Dou Huang. Perhaps it was because of my profound accumulation over the years, after practicing for more than two months, my cultivation level broke through to the level of a six-star Dou Huang."

After listening to Hai Bodong's explanation, Xiao Ling nodded slightly, with a look of emotion and thought, and said in a calm tone: "If Senior Hai Bodong had not been beaten into a Dou Ling by Queen Medusa, and had not wasted decades in Mo City, and had maintained his cultivation, even if he did not break through to the Dou Zong level, he would at least be able to reach the peak of the Dou Huang level."

Hearing this, Hai Bodong also sighed, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes, and said slowly: "That's all in the past, let it go."

The two chatted casually for a while, and Hai Bodong asked Xiao Ling with a puzzled look on his face: "Master Xiao Ling, how come you have time to come to my Mitel family today? Is there anything important? If there is anything I can help with, I, Hai Bodong, will definitely accompany you."

Xiao Ling smiled faintly and turned his gaze towards Hai Bodong. "Hai Lao guessed correctly. I came to the Mitel family today because I really need your help. Soon, I will leave the Jia Ma Empire and go back to Canaan Academy. I will not return to the Jia Ma Empire in the short term."

After a slight pause, Xiao Ling added, "Although the Xiao family has now established a firm foothold in Jiamadi Capital with my help, after I leave, the Xiao family will no longer have a top expert in charge, and it will inevitably be secretly calculated by some forces that covet the Xiao family's industries and resources. Moreover, if there are some unexpected crises, they may fall into trouble due to lack of sufficient strength to deal with them. Therefore, I hope that you, Hai Lao, can take care of them during my absence."

Chapter 133 Leaving the Gama Empire

This morning, Yao Chen, who had gone into retreat, had come out. After refining the evil spirit with the help of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, he devoured it and took the Seven Illusions Soul-Clearing Pill refined by Xiao Ling, which not only restored Yao Chen's soul power, but also cleared the impurities left in his soul from the evil spirit.

Yao Chen has now recovered to his strongest strength without a physical body, and is more than enough to deal with some Dou Zong peak people. If Yao Chen possesses Xiao Ling's body, with Xiao Ling's recovery ability, there is no need to worry about side effects, and he can even display the combat power comparable to that of a low-star Dou Zun.

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Hai Bodong nodded without hesitation and said, "Master Xiao Ling, don't worry! With me, Hai Bodong, I will definitely protect the Xiao family. You have taken care of my Mitel family for many times, so how can I not do this little thing?"

Xiao Ling also showed a smile on his face. He stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Then Xiao Ling would like to thank Mr. Hai in advance. When I return from Canaan College, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Hai Bodong quickly stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Master Xiao Ling, you are being too polite. Your kindness to my Mitel family cannot be compared to such a small matter."

The two smiled at each other, and sat down to discuss some details. After that, Xiao Ling stood up and said goodbye.

Hai Bodong personally sent Xiao Ling out of the Mittel family. Looking at Xiao Ling's receding back, he secretly made up his mind that he would not let Xiao Ling down.

……

After Xiao Ling left the Mitre family, he returned to the Xiao family and met Xiao Yan first. He told him that he would go to Canaan College the next day.

Then he informed Xiao Zhan and several elders of the results of the discussion with Hai Bodong to reassure them.

Although Xiao Ling left the Jia Ma Empire, the Xiao family would be affected to some extent, but with the help of Hai Bodong and Xiao Ling's remaining influence, the Xiao family should not be in any danger.

After returning to Canaan College this time, Xiao Ling planned to give the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade belonging to the Xiao family to Xiao Xun'er and let her take it back to the ancient clan.

Gu Yang is the second elder of the Ancient Clan, responsible for guarding the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, and possesses the strength of a late-stage five-star Dou Sheng. However, he was plotted against by Void Devouring Flame a hundred years ago, and his soul merged with that of the Soul Clan, thus becoming an undercover agent of the Soul Clan in the Ancient Clan.

Anyway, he holds a piece of the ancient Tushe Emperor Jade of the Spirit Clan in his hand, which has been kept in the system space. Even if the Soul Emperor has the ability to know everything, he can never find the location of this piece of Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade.

Without the ability to collect all eight pieces of Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, Emperor Hun Tian could not be promoted to Dou Emperor even if he racked his brains.

Through the Soul Clan's undercover agent planted in the Ancient Clan, Emperor Hun Tian learned that the Xiao family's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was in the hands of the Ancient Clan. Given Emperor Hun Tian's cautious character, he would most likely not risk being noticed by the other six clans and let the Soul Palace take action against the Xiao family.

Although the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade is extremely precious and closely related to the promotion to the Dou Emperor, it is also because this item is too precious. If you don’t have a certain level of strength, even if you own it, it will only be a big trouble.

As long as the Soul Clan really wanted to investigate, they would easily find out that the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade was on Xiao Ling's body.

At that time, there will be endless troubles. In order to obtain the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, the Soul Palace will definitely send strong men to attack Xiao Ling.

In the original novel, in order to obtain the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, the Soul Clan used Yao Chen's soul body to plot against Xiao Yan, causing him to fall into an ambush by the Soul Palace. Even Xiao Yan's famous sword Siming was knocked out by the old ghost Zhaixing.

Xiao Ling just wanted to improve his strength in peace and stability, and it was better not to cause trouble if he could avoid it. This Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was of no help to him now, so it would be better to give it to Xiao Xun'er, which would also be considered a good achievement.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The next morning, the dawn was just breaking. Xiao Ling got up early, quietly opened the door, and went to wake up Zi Yan who was still asleep. Then, he packed his luggage and took Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian with him.

At this time, Xiao Yan also happened to come over.

"Cousin Xiao Ling, I'm not too late, am I?" Xiao Yan scratched his head, unable to conceal the excitement on his face.

Nodding slightly, Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Yan's excited expression and smiled faintly, "It seems that you are very excited. Let's set off now without further delay."

After patting Qinglin's little head, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Qinglin, call Xiaohei out. We'll have to rely on him to give us a ride from now on."

After being fed by Xiao Ling for more than half a year, Liekongzuo is now accumulating energy and preparing to break through to the seventh-level magic beast. Recently, it has been a little listless. In view of this, it is better not to call it out during such a long journey.

Qing Lin nodded obediently and replied softly, "I understand, Master."

After saying this, Qinglin patted his sleeves, and then a small black snake emerged. Its body began to gradually expand, and after a while, the six-winged black snake king returned to its original size.

The six-winged black snake king first let out a hiss, then lowered its head and rubbed the cheek of its little master Qinglin.

Feeling the intimacy of the Six-Winged Black Snake King, Qinglin also stretched out his little hand and rubbed the Six-Winged Black Snake King's head.
