Extinguishing the Blood Sect (10,000 Words Complete)
Xiao Yan didn't hesitate any longer and stepped into the Space Lock.
The moment Xiao Yan entered the Space Lock, a wave of Soul fluctuations swept across Xiao Yan's Soul Robe, and then a 'Flame' character, manifested with Soul power, appeared on the Soul Robe.
Soul Envoys were not qualified to have titles; only Protectors and above were.
The Soul Robes of Protectors would not display their titles when outside. Only when entering the Soul Palace, for ease of distinction, would a title name written in Soul power appear on the Soul Robe.
"There's quite a difference between the Yunlan Sect branch and this Black-Corner Region branch." Xiao Yan looked around. Compared to the Yunlan Sect branch built on a mountain, this branch was built on a vast plain.
As far as the eye could see, there were no obstructions, except for the huge black Soul Palace in the distance. There was nothing else, not even a single tree.
However, the Black-Corner Region branch was 'thriving'. Visibly, many Soul Envoys in black robes held black chains, binding Soul Bodies one by one.
Some advanced Dou Lings could produce Soul Bodies. Generally, if Soul Envoys and Protectors without Soul Tokens wanted to capture Soul Bodies, the normal method was to use Soul Chains.
These chains, forged using special methods, could not only seal Soul power and cause damage to Soul Bodies, but once bound by the chains, escape was impossible.
In the chaotic, lawless land of the Black-Corner Region, a large number of homicides occurred every day. Such a place was undoubtedly the Soul Palace's favorite.
"Flame? Protector!! Greetings, Flame Protector!"
When Xiao Yan passed by a Soul Envoy preparing to go out, the Soul Envoy, upon clearly seeing the title on Xiao Yan's Soul Robe, immediately knelt on one knee and shouted with his head lowered.
Hearing the exclamation, some Soul Envoy teams, in groups of three or five, preparing to hunt Soul Bodies or directly kill people for Souls, all looked towards Xiao Yan.
When they saw the Soul character on Xiao Yan's Soul Robe, they also knelt down and shouted with their heads lowered.
"Greetings, Flame Protector!!"
Wherever Xiao Yan passed, those Soul Envoys who usually hunted Soul Bodies with the aid of the Black Wind Storm all knelt and shouted, losing their usual arrogance.
Xiao Yan didn't speak, but calmly walked through the crowd, unhurriedly reaching the gate of the Soul Palace.
With a creak, the gate opened automatically, and Xiao Yan stepped inside.
Seeing Xiao Yan enter the Soul Palace, the Soul Envoys kneeling on the ground stood up, all showing a hint of fear and doubt.
"Isn't this branch under the responsibility of Xuan Protector? How come another Protector has arrived?"
"Maybe he's a friend of Xuan Protector, just passing by."
"Flame... I wonder what level this Flame Protector is and what he's doing here."
Inside the Soul Palace, there were also some Soul Envoys exchanging Soul Bodies for Soul Points. What surprised Xiao Yan was that this branch not only held a large number of Soul Bodies, but there was also a Dou Huang-level Soul Body locked up here.
Even a Dou Huang's Soul Body is here. If it's a Soul Palace led by a true Heaven Rank Protector, wouldn't there even be Dou Zong's Soul Bodies! Xiao Yan thought to himself.
"There are no Alchemists here, probably because the Black-Corner Region itself doesn't have an Alchemist Guild."
While observing the situation of this branch, Xiao Yan walked to the Soul Offering Altar at the innermost part. On the Soul Offering Altar, an old man with a wizened face was sitting cross-legged, cultivating.
The Soul Offering Altar emitted waves of Soul Light. Xiao Yan's Soul power sensed that these Soul Lights were condensed from the Soul Lights in the air. This was equivalent to accelerating the cultivation of the Soul Skill.
Feeling Xiao Yan's arrival, the old man slowly opened his eyes: "Flame? Are you the newly promoted Human Rank Protector of the branch?"
Xiao Yan smiled coldly, took out the Soul Token from his Storage Ring, and a Heaven character shot out from the Soul Token.
"Heaven Rank Protector!! And he even has a Soul Token!!" Xuan Protector was so frightened that he quickly got off the Soul Offering Altar.
"I didn't know of your arrival, please forgive my lack of welcome." Xuan Protector was also aware that generally, Heaven Rank Protectors who obtained Soul Tokens were close to being promoted to Venerable Elders. He bowed ninety degrees, knowing when to yield and when to stand firm.
Only some extremely outstanding Heaven Rank Protectors would be granted Soul Tokens in advance.
"May I ask what brings you here, sir?" Xuan Protector forced out an ugly smile and gently raised his head to ask.
Xiao Yan lowered his voice and slowly said, "Nothing much, just gathering some Soul Envoys to help me attack a place."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Protector's face changed drastically, and he stammered, "Could it be that you want to attack Canaan Academy!!"
In the entire Black-Corner Region, only Canaan Academy was qualified to warrant the Soul Palace's attention! "Not Canaan Academy. The place I want to attack is the Blood Sect. I need one advanced Dou Huang and five Dou Wangs."
"Blood Sect??" Xuan Protector looked puzzled. With just a Dou Huang-level force, he could easily destroy it. Why would a Heaven Rank Protector need to borrow people?
Xiao Yan had already thought of an excuse and said calmly, "That Blood Sect has hidden some things. I can't act rashly, or it will arouse the suspicion of other forces."
"I see. If you don't mind, sir, I am willing to contribute to your attack on the Blood Sect."
Xiao Yan was overjoyed, These people from the Soul Palace are so considerate.
Xiao Yan had originally considered asking Medusa Queen for help, but after thinking about it, Medusa might not be willing, so he ultimately chose to outsource.
"Well, if this matter is ultimately successful, I will remember your contribution."
"Thank you, my lord!"
...
Half a day later, at the location of the Blood Sect.
Looking at the densely packed Black Robed Men in the Black Wind Storm, this terrifying force directly caused Fan Lao's face to turn pale. Especially when he saw the Xuan Protector beside Xiao Yan, with his sinister and hideous face, his complexion became as white as if covered in frost.
"Dou... Dou Zong!"
"Why is this happening? Why?!"
The Black-Corner Region was a place where great battles erupted every day. Even a Dou Huang (Fighting Emperor) force like the Blood Sect could be wiped out if they were not careful.
But Fan Lao couldn't understand where he had gone wrong to attract the siege of a Dou Zong and so many experts!
When he saw the Xuan Protector shatter the Sect Protecting Grand Array with a single palm strike, Fan Lao understood that if they fought head-on, the Blood Sect would not have any chance of winning.
"Hand over that remnant map. It's not something you can possess."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Fan Ling and Fan Lao finally realized that they had offended someone they couldn't afford to offend.
The final result was not unexpected. Even though Fan Lao desperately wanted his son to break through the encirclement, there was no possibility in the face of the Soul Palace's encirclement.
Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't sympathize with the Blood Sect. When he arrived, Xiao Yan saw how disgusting this Blood Sect was. The Blood Sect's Cultivation Method was also a heretical and evil method that required the use of human blood for cultivation.
The Blood Sect was like a purgatory.
In the end, Xiao Yan found the third fragment of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame map in the Blood Sect's secret chamber.
"Only the last one is missing..." Xiao Yan looked at the three fragments in his hand. Piecing them together, he could see that only the last corner was missing.
As long as he found the last fragment, he might be able to find the location of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame earlier than those Dou Di (Fighting God) families and obtain the Purification Lotus Demon Flame first! Finally, Xiao Yan gave ten thousand Soul Points to the Xuan Protector and returned to Canaan Academy.
"Ten thousand Soul Points can easily destroy a Dou Huang force. The power of this Soul Palace is truly easy to be lost in." Xiao Yan shook his head, deeply understanding the terror of the Soul Palace. No wonder those Soul Envoys desperately captured Soul Bodies to advance to Protectors, and the Protectors wanted to advance to a higher level.
Lightly flicking his Storage Ring, the jade box containing the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill and a Pill Recipe appeared in Xiao Yan's palm.
"Why is the Pill Recipe for the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill in the Storage Ring? What is the relationship between the person who refined this Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill and the owner of the Storage Ring?"
The Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill was a Seventh Grade pill. Even in the mysterious Storage Ring, there were not many Seventh Grade Pill Recipes, so Xiao Yan had a deep impression of each Pill Recipe.
In the end, Xiao Yan couldn't find any connection between the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill and the Pill Recipe, so he swallowed the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill in one gulp.
After all, the medicinal effects of this kind of pill would always exist, waiting for the day of rebirth.
"Uh, it tastes a bit bitter. The Pill Recipe can be modified to add some sugar."
...
In the remaining time, Xiao Yan did not leave Canaan Academy again, nor did he cause trouble. Instead, he calmed down and obediently cultivated, waiting for the start of the Inner Academy selection competition.
Time flew by for more than half a month. As a major event of Canaan Academy, the so-called Inner Academy selection competition was naturally extremely eye-catching. Moreover, in this selection competition, those influential figures in the academy on weekdays would all show up. This was undoubtedly a great attraction for those male and female students who regarded these people as idols and objects of admiration.
Therefore, although the academy had long prepared the largest square in the academy for use, it was still crowded with people. Countless Canaan Academy students squeezed their heads to rush into the seats in the square. Looking at the stands, all were dark heads and the clamor that soared into the sky.
This huge square was circular in shape. Around the square, stone steps continued to spread upward. The shape was like an arena. The sea of people sitting around the square could clearly see the entire square.
The class led by Ruo Lin Mentor was naturally among them.
"Sigh, you can be this mentor from now on." Ruo Lin Mentor looked helplessly at the young man beside her. She really never expected that in four months, Xiao Yan would really improve the strength of Xiao Meng, Xiao Yueliang, and Xiao Mei to the point where they could enter the Inner Academy.
The selection competition had already begun. The first round of the selection competition was a random draw for a point match between two people.
In order to prevent powerful students from being eliminated early by encountering strong enemies, each person was randomly paired with three opponents in the first round. Two wins out of three battles would qualify them to enter the Inner Academy.
Xiao Meng, Xiao Yueliang, and Xiao Mei all won their first round of battles.
In just four months, they had improved their Cultivation to advanced Dou Shi (Battle Master), and their strength was also very powerful, which made Ruo Lin Mentor feel a little ashamed.
Even Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu had reached the Cultivation of Da Dou Shi (Great Battle Master). Their attacks were fierce and unparalleled, and they defeated their opponents with one move, winning cheers and applause from the audience.
Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly: "Ruo Lin Mentor is joking. I am just a small Alchemist. If the mentor hadn't laid a good foundation for them, even if I had more pills, it would be useless."
At this time, in the square, two figures, a man and a woman, flashed and intersected each other. The fierce Dou Qi fluctuations that erupted between the contact of their palms caused exclamations to erupt from the surrounding stands from time to time. However, most of the gazes on those stands were obviously fixed on the slender figure in a light azure dress, whose delicate body flashed with a light and elegant posture.
The two figures crossed again dangerously, but the light azure figure suddenly stopped. Golden light shone brightly between her palms, bringing up a ray of light that accurately imprinted on the young man's chest. The strong and fierce energy directly shook the latter out of the battle circle.
"Senior, you flatter me!" After repelling her opponent with a single strike, the girl in azure smiled slightly and bowed to the handsome young man with a flawless curtsy.
"Junior Xun Er is indeed the most promising student of this year's class. I concede." Although defeated, the handsome man was quite straightforward. He smiled, took a deep look at the azure-clad girl who was as refreshing as a lotus, and then gracefully withdrew.
"This match, Xiao Xun'er wins!"
Hearing the referee's call, Xiao Yan looked at the girl in the arena. Clearly, Xun Er's strength had already reached Da Dou Shi (Great Battle Master), and she was even close to Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit), but with her kind heart, she deliberately suppressed her strength, exchanged more than a dozen moves with her opponent, and then defeated him.
"Xiao Yan gege." Walking over slowly, Xun Er smiled sweetly, her beautiful smile giving everyone around her a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.
But when they saw Xun Er sitting next to Xiao Yan, chatting and laughing, that spring breeze instantly turned into a bloody storm, and they silently cursed Xiao Yan in their hearts.
If looks could kill, then Xiao Yan would have died without a burial place.
In a grandstand with a good view, a young man in white stared at Xiao Yan with a gloomy expression, and said fiercely, "I will defeat him to prove that he is not worthy of Xun Er."
This young man in white was none other than Bai Shan, who had once blocked Xiao Yan. He was a prominent figure among the younger generation of Canaan Academy's Outer Academy, and his momentum was not much weaker than Xun Er's. He was a strong contender for the top five.
"Tch, so this is the man that Xun Er is always talking about? He doesn't look like much, and his strength doesn't seem to be anything special either. Following a man like that is not as good as following me. What's so good about those stinky men? They're all males who think with their lower bodies." In another excellent spot on the grandstand, a girl in a red dress, with her arms crossed in front of her chest, leaned against an iron pipe. Her enchanting curves were made even more alluring by the straight iron pipe. At this moment, she looked at Xiao Yan's location and couldn't help but curl her lips into a sneer of disdain.
Clearly, Xiao Yan was another kind of prominent figure.
"Little Enchantress, sit properly. How can you be so unrestrained in public? What kind of behavior is that?" Beside the girl in red, an old man with white hair and beard, noticing her posture and independent words, couldn't help but blow his beard in anger.
The Vice President glanced at Xiao Yan, his eyes carrying a hint of surprise, and muttered, "Strange, I can't see through his cultivation? There's a very powerful Soul force blocking it. Is it a treasure or..."
The girl in red gave the old man, who clearly held a high position in Canaan Academy, a rude eye roll and snorted, "It's a waste that you're still the Vice President of the Outer Academy. If it were me, I would have kicked that Xiao Yan out of the academy long ago. He's been gone for more than a year, never attended a single class. How can he still be a student of our Canaan Academy?"
The Vice President glanced at his granddaughter and said, "Don't be so arrogant. That kid's strength might not be weaker than yours. He's the same age as you, and aren't you known as invincible among your peers? I don't think you can win against him easily."
"Hehe, you think too highly of him. Only Xun Er is qualified to compare with me." The Little Enchantress had a look of disdain on her face. In her eyes, there was only Xun Er.
The matches in the arena continued. Xiao Yan's Soul force swept across the entire field, and his brows furrowed as he looked in three directions.
"This Canaan Academy does have some tricks up its sleeve. The cultivation of these three people is higher than Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning. This is a bit troublesome. Should I secretly get rid of them?" Xiao Yan curled his lips, praying that he could meet these three in the first round.
Heaven didn't grant his wish. Xiao Yan's first-round opponent was a young man who was a Nine-Star Dou Shi (Battle Master).
"You're Xiao Yan? Hmph, let me see if you have the strength to be worthy of Junior Xun Er!" With a clang, a long spear was drawn.
"Die Lang!"
"Scram." Xiao Yan glanced at him, flicked his finger, and a ball of red flames shot out. With a bang, the flames exploded, directly blasting the man out of the arena.
Xiao Yan didn't even turn his head to look. He jumped off the fighting stage directly. He wasn't Xun Er. If he needed more than one move to deal with these Outer Academy students, he would consider it a loss.
He left behind a stunned referee and a field full of dumbfounded people.
Xiao Yan had never made a move in Canaan Academy, only spoken. Everyone's impression of Xiao Yan was that he was a pervert, a hooligan, and someone who lived off women.
"So strong."
"Solid flame!! Has he reached Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit)?!"
"It's not necessarily that only Dou Ling (Fighting Spirit) and Fourth Grade Alchemists can use solid flames. Some cultivators of fire-attribute Dou Qi (neutral) can refine fire seeds to borrow fire."
"But he did it in one move..."
On the grandstand, apart from Xiao Yu and the others, those who didn't know Xiao Yan opened their mouths slightly, staring in astonishment at the young man in black robes who had jumped off the fighting stage after a single strike.
Many young girls who were just beginning to feel the stirrings of love couldn't help but have stars in their eyes. Who would have thought that Xue Beng, whose strength was at the Nine-Star Dou Shi (Battle Master) level, would be defeated by a flick of the finger in just one exchange, no, one face-to-face encounter, and that was even after he had used his strongest Dou Technique (neutral)! Even the referee had forgotten to call the end of the match, and such a dumbfounding outcome had occurred.
On the other side of the grandstand, Bai Shan crossed his arms in front of his chest, frowned slightly as he looked at the black-robed youth standing straight in the square, and after a long while, slowly exhaled and smiled faintly, "Not bad, you do have some ability. Only now are you qualified to make me take you seriously. If there's a chance, I'd like to meet you in person."
Facing the full field of exclamations and discussions, Xiao Yan turned a deaf ear. At this time, he was focused on how to get his clansmen into the Inner Academy, or even directly occupy the top five spots and get the rewards that were said to be very generous.
"I wonder if I can use pills."
