Chapter 153 Soul Palace, Chen the Guardian!

  This is the only thing Chen Guan could think of.

  It can't be that Ling Ying is used to hiding in the Xiao family and doesn't want to move, right?

  After thinking for a while, Chen Guan was not in a hurry to leave for the time being. According to what the guards said, the group of people in the Soul Palace should not have left Wutan City and were waiting for instructions from above. Throwing away distracting thoughts,

  Chen Guan asked the guards to arrange a room and immediately lived in the City Lord's Mansion.

  He didn't want to go out and hang out. He practiced during the day and paid attention to the movements of the Xiao family at night.

  Five days later.

  Chen Guan sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a fire pill of the flame lizard man in each hand, using the strange fire to refine the violent energy in it and absorb it.

  Suddenly, the energy of heaven and earth surged and gathered rapidly, until a certain moment, Chen Guan's body shook slightly, and after a few breaths,

  he slowly opened his eyes. At this time, he was already a two-star Douhuang!

  "The remaining fire pills should be able to increase one star, and there are also Huangji pills."

  After a little calculation in his mind, Chen Guan smiled with satisfaction.

  He was sure that he could catch up with Master Yun quickly!

  Feeling the joy of his improved strength for a moment, Chen Guan closed his eyes, formed a hand seal, and continued to consolidate.

  At the same time, the soul power spread out like a tide with the room as the center, covering the entire City Lord's Mansion, and constantly flooding towards Wutan City.

  "Master Yao, is my current soul realm still far from the peak of the spiritual realm?"

  Chen Guan asked in his heart.

  His soul cultivation method is a spell from ancient times. It has no name, and there is no mention of how to distinguish the three small realms of early, middle, and great perfection. It seems that there was no such detailed division in ancient times.

  There is no other person who is good at this around him. The only person who can be used as a reference is the Venerable Tianhuo.

  "It's not that easy to reach the great perfection of the spiritual realm. Even if you have a method of soul cultivation, it is still a very time-consuming thing. I estimate that if there is no other opportunity, you will need at least three years."

  "So long?"

  "Do you have a problem with your concept of time? It's only three years. Is it a long time? If you tell others, I don't know how many people will want to beat you up. Many alchemists want to improve their soul realm, and it takes decades. It's even more difficult for non-alchemists. I once had a friend who was stuck at the peak of Dou Zong for nearly a hundred years before breaking through because his soul realm couldn't keep up with his cultivation. Later, he paid attention to the improvement of soul strength, and his cultivation also rose rapidly."

  Venerable Tianhuo responded unhappily.

  The young man's Versailles reminded him of some not-so-good memories of that friend.

  Chen Guan sneered, and found that his mentality had changed unconsciously, and he quickly adjusted it.

  After chatting with Venerable Tianhuo for a while, Chen Guan withdrew his mental power and continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

  Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, black and white alternated.

  The moon was not bright tonight, and the dark clouds made the earth even more gloomy.

  Outside Wutan City, twelve black-robed figures stood in the night, like ghosts walking in the night, with an inexplicable feeling of gloom.

  "Hehehe, let's act. Tonight's mission cannot be missed. We will be rewarded after completing it, and we can be promoted to the ranks of protectors earlier."

  "Hehehe~"

  "Hehehe~"

  It was like poking the nest of the monster, and for a while, the strange laughter continued.

  Immediately, the black-robed leader waved his hand, and everyone went straight to the Xiao family.

  At this moment, Chen Guan of the City Lord's Mansion suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, and came to the door to look into the distance.

  "Master, what happened?"

  The guards who had been paying attention to this side quickly rushed over with a serious face.

  Chen Guan shook his head, "You continue to practice, and don't worry about any big noise tonight."

  After giving instructions, Chen Guan took out a black robe of the same style as the Soul Palace guardian and put it on. He didn't use the Dou Qi to transform his wings. He flashed a few times in the dark night and headed towards the Xiao family.

  If nothing unexpected happens, the Xiao family should have an accident tonight.

  In the hazy night, more than a dozen black-robed figures quietly came to the outside of the Xiao family's courtyard wall.

  "Search once more, and don't take action if you don't find anything. Except for the head of the Xiao family, you must keep him alive, and the rest can be dealt with at will."

  "Yes!"

  After the leader gave instructions, twelve low shouts responded together.

  Then, they dispersed in twos and threes and sneaked into the Xiao family .

  No one noticed that there was one more person.

  Chen Soul Palace followed two of them and went to the Xiao family's Dou Qi Pavilion.

  Although the leader gave instructions to search first and take action if nothing was found,

  it was obvious that the people below automatically filtered out the first half of the sentence, so at this moment, they were also ruthless and acted directly in the simplest and crudest way.

  Douqi Pavilion, this is the most heavily guarded place in the Xiao family, no doubt about it.

  However, this is only relative. The five Doushi-level guards can't make any waves in front of Chen Guan's two temporary teammates who are as high as two-star Douhuang.

  Without even a scream, they were already reduced to ashes under a soul lock. In the silent night, only the creepy sound of the chain was heard.

  Without communicating, the three people were covered in black robes and nodded slightly.

  Then, they punched open the door of Douqi Pavilion.

  "Someone broke into Douqi Pavilion!"

  "Stop!"

  "Quickly notify the clan leader and elders!"

  Not far away, several figures rushed out of the room, shouting to notify others, but just when they were about to rush over to stop them, a gloomy chain broke through the air and easily passed through their bodies.

  Ignoring the "teammates" over there, the three people on Chen Guan's side also began to search carefully.

  As expected, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was not found.

  However, when they came out of the Douqi Pavilion, one of the three black-robed men was missing for no apparent reason.

  The remaining one didn't care, but the one who disappeared at that time was eager for quick success and left to search in other places.

  After coming out of the Douqi Pavilion, the entire Xiao family was now a pile of corpses, wailing and screaming.

  The so-called resistance seemed so pathetic in front of this group of powerful attackers. Every chain shot could take away several lives.

  This is a massacre!

  Chen Guan, who was shrouded in a black robe, was also in action. Not only that, he was the most active one among them.

  The chains in his hands broke through the air, and one after another, the Xiao family members fell to the ground and lost consciousness. Once the soul power was gone, from the surface, they were no different from dead.

  That was all he could do.

  Soon, the screams of the Xiao family disappeared quickly. Looking around, there was wailing everywhere. Except for Xiao Zhan and the three elders, no one was standing.

  "Who are you? Why are you slaughtering my Xiao family for no reason!"

  Xiao Zhan roared hoarsely, and his martial arts technique, the Crazy Lion's Fury, was used desperately. His signature fighting technique, the Lion Mountain Crack, was launched again and again, but it had no effect and was easily defeated by a group of black-robed people.

  "Hand over the ancient jade and you can live."

  The leading black-robed man responded with a buzzing voice, without any emotion.

  "Bullshit ancient jade, there is no ancient jade in my Xiao family!"

  Xiao Zhan glared at him, not understanding what the other party was saying, only boundless hatred.

  The three elders around him were also panting, with red eyes.

  Seeing this, the leading black-robed man stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand.

  Three chains shot out and passed through the bodies of the three elders, crushing them like a rotten tree. The so-called resistance was a joke.

  One of the chains was made by Chen Guan.

  After touching the corpse skillfully, Chen Guan and the other two black-robed men shook their heads together, indicating that they did not find the target.

  "Hehehe, it seems that the ancient jade is on you. It's useless for you to deny it."

  The leading black-robed man laughed strangely and swung a beam of energy towards Xiao Zhan.

  "Raging Lion!"

  Xiao Zhan shouted furiously and used fighting skills to resist.

  But the fighting skills he sent out were as brittle as paper under the casual attack of others, and were defeated without a moment of resistance.

  The energy continued to move, and Xiao Zhan's fighting spirit had been exhausted, and he had no power to resist.

  However, just when he thought he was going to be killed, something unexpected happened.

  "Shadow Bind!"

  A deep shout sounded, and a black energy suddenly attacked from behind, like a long rope, entwining Xiao Zhan's body, dragging him several feet away, narrowly avoiding the attack of the black-robed man.

  Xiao Zhan looked back and saw a hazy figure, surrounded by black energy, as if deliberately hiding his identity.

  He could only recognize that this was a man.

  "Thank you for your help, sir, I don't know..."

  "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

  The mysterious man who suddenly appeared interrupted his nagging, grabbed Xiao Zhan, flew into the air, and fled to the distance at a high speed.

  The unexpected appearance of the mysterious man caught everyone in the Soul Palace off guard, but they quickly reacted.

  "How dare you, a mere eight-star Dou Huang, dare to interfere in the affairs of my Soul Palace!"

  "Two Soul Locks!"

  The leader shouted angrily, chasing into the sky, and two strange chains shot towards the two people fleeing in front.

  The strength of the nine-star Dou Huang was revealed at this moment!

  Chen Guan and the other eleven people also quickly followed and chased after him.

  However, Ling Ying was not very panicked. As the strongest Dou Huang of the ancient clan, he still had some strength.

  Surrounded by black energy, the strange fighting skills were activated. His body was scattered by dozens of energies like black smoke. When he appeared again, he had flown away for dozens of feet!

  Dark attributes, making it unpredictable.

  "Sir."

  "Is the ancient jade on you?"

  The black energy blocked the two people's figures, and Ling Ying interrupted again and asked.

  Xiao Zhan's face was embarrassed. At this time, how could he not know that the person who saved him was not pleasing to him, nor was he kind, but also for the ancient jade.

  Since the leader in black robes mentioned the ancient jade, Xiao Zhan has been thinking about it, and gradually guessed what the ancient jade they were talking about was.

  A piece of jade that was not taken seriously brought disaster to the Xiao family. Xiao Zhan was extremely sad and angry, and realized that this ancient jade must hide a huge secret!

  He didn't say anything, and Ling Ying guessed the answer.

  He wanted to snatch it directly, but then he thought of what Gu Xun'er said when she left, and shook his head silently.

  "The ancient jade is very important. You can't grasp it. Leave it to me. I promise you that I will take proper care of your sons. This group of people is very powerful. With you, none of us can leave. You have three minutes to think about it. You can rest assured that as long as you insist that you don't know the whereabouts of the ancient jade, they may not kill you."

  After saying this, Ling Ying said no more and focused on dealing with the twelve people who were chasing him.

  Xiao Zhan clenched his fists, and his nails had already pierced into his palms without knowing it.

  The two mysterious forces were staring at the ancient jade, and they didn't care about the life and death of the Xiao family at all.

  And from what this person said, even if they gave the ancient jade, the group of people behind would still kill them.

  Great hatred!

  But there was nothing he could do.

  Biting his tongue to calm himself down, Xiao Zhan quickly made a decision. Compared with the group of executioners behind who were stained with the blood of the Xiao family, the person next to him was undoubtedly a little more trustworthy, although his attitude was still high and mighty.

  But he had no other choice.

  The three sons who were away, as well as some younger generations, were the last bloodline of the Xiao family!

  "I can give the ancient jade to you, sir. Please don't break your promise!"

  Ling Ying glanced at him and said nothing.

  Xiao Zhan felt even more sad and took out the ancient jade that had always been used as proof of his identity as the patriarch.

  Ling Ying took it and put it in the ring, and flew with Xiao Zhan for more than ten seconds. He dodged the attacks of the chains in a thrilling way, and even the black energy around him was dispersed, almost revealing his true appearance.

  As if being pushed to the limit, Ling Ying stopped in the sky, grabbed Xiao Zhan and turned around.

  "Shadows of the Prairie!"

  The powerful fighting skills were launched, and the gloomy chains were shaken off with one blow.

  Of course, he was not feeling well either. His body was shaken back dozens of feet before he stood firm. A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and his breath quickly became weak, as if he was really in a desperate situation.

  "Dare to interfere in the affairs of my Soul Palace, death is your only destination."

  The leading black-robed man was murderous, and the two soul locks were like two heavenly snakes, winding and circling in the air.

  "You should know what to do!"

  Ling Ying said to Xiao Zhan through voice transmission. He stared at the people in the Soul Palace and laughed.

  "I am indeed not your opponent in a small number against a large number, but if you want to kill me, you are not qualified with your bunch of reptiles!"

  As he said that, he threw Xiao Zhan to the side, and at the same time, the fighting skills he had been preparing suddenly started.

  Dozens of afterimages were pulled out, and they attacked everyone at the same time.

  On one side was Xiao Zhan, who was falling at a high speed and had to be rescued, and on the other side he had to deal with Ling Ying's attack.

  Even with the strength of the leading black-robed man, he was a little flustered for a while.

  When he defeated the energy afterimages that were bombarding him and flew to catch the falling Xiao Zhan, there was no trace of Ling Ying in the sky.

  And the others had just dealt with Ling Ying's last attack.

  It was at this time that he realized that someone seemed to be missing. Was his most motivated subordinate missing?

  On the other side, Ling Ying took advantage of the night. His dark attribute made him very easy to hide.

  After flying for hundreds of miles, he didn't find anyone chasing him, so Ling Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

  As long as he got rid of these people, with his hiding skills, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find him.

  With a smile on his face, Ling Ying couldn't help but be happy. Getting the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was a great achievement!

  As long as it was safely returned, the ancient clan's reward would be absolutely amazing. Dou Zong would no longer be an obstacle. Even Dou Zun might be able to look forward to it.

  However, Ling Ying's smile had just bloomed, and it soon froze.

  In front of him, a black-robed figure quietly appeared and blocked his way.

  His strength could not be sensed!

  Is he a Dou Zong from the Soul Palace?

  Ling Ying's face looked ugly, and he felt a sense of crisis.

  "Hehehe, you want to leave after robbing my Soul Palace? It's not that easy!"
