Chapter 138 Ending
"Things went better than expected, and we got the ancient jade within four minutes."

After obtaining the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, Lin Yuan, who was far away in the imperial city, felt relieved and began to arrange the follow-up matters quickly.

The first step was to confirm the positions of all parties.

"The Guardian Wu and the Ancient Clan Dou Zong are fighting in District 6; Yunshan is blocking District 7. A Dou Huang tried to get through but was stopped by him; the Queen is on her way to District 7 and is expected to arrive in five minutes; Avatar No. 1 is on standby in District 2; the Soul Envoys are about to arrive in District 3 and are expected to arrive in District 1, Wutan City, in six minutes."

"Six minutes, plenty of time." Lin Yuan thought to himself, and then issued a decisive order.

"Have clone number two (the soul master clone) fake the scene according to the predetermined plan, and then evacuate through the secret underground passage."

"Qing'er, after the second clone leaves, you arrange for the earth-type followers stationed there to completely destroy and bury the passage to ensure that no trace is left."

"After clone number two successfully evacuates, clone number one will go to join and provide protection."

As orders were conveyed one after another, the parties that received the orders began to take action.

The soul-master clone took several minutes to restore the place where the ancient jade was dug out to its original state and completed the work of faking the scene.

Afterwards, the Soul Envoy clone restrained its breath, turned lightly several times in the air, and flew away from the Xiao family like a ghost. It fell back into the ancient well, followed the underground passage that had been prepared long ago, and left Wutan City.

And those earth-attributed snake-like monsters also began to carry out their tasks - destroying those underground passages and completely eliminating any breath and traces that might be left behind.

A few minutes after Lin Yuan's soul clone left, several dark shadows finally arrived at the Xiao family.

"Hehehe, this is the Xiao family? Too weak. What good can a family without even a Dou Wang have?"

"Stop talking nonsense and take action. Search for the target object and capture the target person."

Immediately, several shadows spread out and rushed to the various important places of the Xiao family. Soon, screams, cries, and fighting sounds began to be heard from all over the Xiao family.

In another direction, the protector Wu was fighting fiercely with the ancient clan's Dou Zong.

Although the ancient clan's Dou Zong was powerful, he was only a two-star Dou Zong after all. He was still a few points behind the protector Wu, who was already a four-star Dou Zong.

As time went on, the guardian Wu gradually gained the upper hand.

“Hehehe, it seems that today this protector can get the soul of the ancient clan’s Dou Zong as a collection.” Protector Wu laughed coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Clan Dou Zong responded with a cold expression and pride: "You, the lackey raised by the Soul Clan, dare to attack our Ancient Clan. You are courting death!"

When Guardian Wu heard this, his eyes also showed a bit of coldness. Although he was only a low-level guard in the Soul Palace, he was still at the Dou Zong level.

However, when these people from the ancient tribe talked to him, they always mentioned dogs.

Thinking of this, the voice of the guardian Wu became a little colder, "Damn you ancient people, how dare you speak so arrogantly. After I catch your soul, I will definitely teach you a lesson and let you know how to talk to me."

As soon as the words fell, the battle between the two began again.

In the seventh district, Yunshan threw away the body of Douhuang who wanted to break through this place and looked to the southeast. A strange and powerful aura appeared in his perception and was flying towards this side.

After a moment, he showed a hint of joy in his eyes. The person who came to pick him up was none other than Queen Medusa who had changed her aura.

After a while, the Wu Guardian and the Ancient Clan Dou Zong also sensed this strange aura. The Wu Guardian's eyes darkened, but before he could make any arrangements to respond, he sensed that Yunshan and the newcomer had started a fierce conflict.

At the same time, he also received an urgent message from Yunshan.

"Guardian Wu, I have dealt with the Douhuang before. There should be no one in Wutan City who can hinder the actions of those soul masters."

"This person is the one who has targeted my Yunlan Sect, and the one who killed Yun Leng and his men. I am fighting him now. If possible, please quickly deal with your own enemies, and then come to help me kill this person."

After receiving Yunshan's message, Protector Wu's eyes darkened and a trace of regret flashed through his mind.

"Damn Yunshan, was this guardian blind? Why would I choose you and your Yunlan Sect as my partner? You are more likely to cause trouble than help."

Thinking of this, he looked towards the ancient clan's Dou Zong, his eyes became even more ferocious, and a more intense battle unfolded between the two.

On the other side, Yunshan and Queen Medusa were pretending to fight each other. The two of them were fighting fiercely, and it looked quite powerful.

After fighting for a while, the two received a message from Lin Yuan.

Queen Medusa calmed down and said calmly, "The show is almost over here, it's time to evacuate. Yunshan, follow me to the rendezvous point."

After saying that, Queen Medusa turned and flew towards the Warcraft Mountains.

"Where are you running to? I will not let you go today." Yunshan shouted and made a final message to the protector Wu.

Before he finished speaking, he chased after Queen Medusa and flew towards the Monster Mountain Range.

At the same time, the second round of assessments at the Alchemy Conference was drawing to a close.

Lin Yuan, who was standing in the stands, also received the news that Yunshan and Queen Medusa had completed their evacuation. He breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

In this way, his main goal has been achieved, and what remains is just some finishing work.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan began to make the final arrangements in an orderly manner.

"Qing'er, let clone number one and two go to your clone and take the Winged Snake King to evacuate according to the previously planned route."

"Deploy the followers in Wutan City and have them go underground and remain silent for a while."

"As for the followers outside the city, you can withdraw them. Just keep a certain attention on the sixth district where the Wu Guardian and the Ancient Clan Dou Zong are fighting."

After the deployment was completed, Lin Yuan looked at the competition field below. Now he had some free time to watch the game.

The game has entered its final stage, and the field is filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

Xiao Yan, Liu Ling, Yao Yue and other alchemists who are highly expected are going all out. They are racing against time, wanting to be the first to refine a pill.

The reason why it turned out like this was because of the mocking remark made by the contestant from the Izumo Empire: "Hey, a bunch of mediocre people. It seems that I am far ahead in this round. The alchemists of the Gama Empire are nothing but so-so..."

However, what is frustrating is that the opponent's elixir is about to be completed.

According to the current progress, all the alchemists of the Gama Empire present will not be able to refine the elixir before him, and he will take the lead in this round.

Xiao Yan glanced at the gray-robed youth, and then glanced at Lin Yuan who was sitting in the VIP seat with an inexplicable smile on his face.

After thinking for a moment, he made up his mind.

Xiao Yan suddenly slapped the medicine cauldron with his palm, and the pill that had not yet completed the final warming broke out of the cauldron in the bright yellow flame.

This sudden action shocked everyone in the venue, and they all turned their eyes to Xiao Yan.

Fa Ma grabbed the armrest nervously, and the armrest instantly turned into sawdust and slipped between his fingers: "Too reckless! Although it is the last step, how can we get the pill out of the furnace in advance? If we are not careful, the pill will disintegrate and the pill refining will fail." However, Xiao Yan ignored the eyes around him.

He extended his palm and a powerful suction force burst out, sucking the pill in the flame steadily into his palm.

The moment the pill was in his hand, a more intense flame surged out of his body and quickly gathered in his palm. The pill, which had not yet completed the final warming, quickly became stable and perfect under the tempering of this strange fire.

After a moment, Xiao Yan flicked his finger and the pill turned into a beam of light and shot into the inspection machine. Immediately, the green light, excitingly, lit up first from the jade mirror in front of Xiao Yan.
After a brief silence, a huge wave of cheers and applause broke out. The screams of the crowd surged like a tide, shaking the huge square slightly.

"Well done, Xiao Yan." Yao Lao's voice sounded in Xiao Yan's heart, with a hint of relief.

Xiao Yan glanced around, then looked at the VIP seats, and finally landed on Lin Yuan. At this time, Lin Yuan, like everyone else in the arena, gave him a warm applause for his success.

Xiao Yan chuckled, turned around, and his gaze fell on the gray-robed young man with a gloomy face.

He had just finished refining the elixir.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan's face became more unruly. He raised his thumb, then pointed it downwards, revealing a bit of the arrogance of a young man.

"Now, answer me, how about the alchemist from the Gama Empire? The alchemist from the Izumo Empire..."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the gray-robed youth put the pill into the testing machine with a gloomy face and said coldly: "Don't be complacent, the last match is when we will really compete with each other! By then, I will not hold back at all!"

In response to his harsh words, Xiao Yan simply shrugged his shoulders, smiled indifferently, then lowered his head and began to tidy up the stone platform in front of him.

As time went by, the deafening cheers on the square gradually weakened. Everyone continued to watch other alchemists. The second round had not yet ended.

Half an hour later, Yaoyue and Liu Ling also finished refining the elixir. Seeing the green light in front of them, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, more and more stone platforms lit up with green lights representing success. Even so, not many people passed in the end. When the hourglass hanging on the wall ran out, out of more than 2,000 contestants, only about 100 people entered the final round.

When Fa Ma announced that today's assessment was over, even Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. After these two rounds of intense assessments, he was also a little tired.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan looked at Lin Yuan's position again, only to find that the other party had left the venue at some point.

After Lin Yuan left the venue, he sped towards the Warcraft Forest at full speed.

He was going to go to the agreed place to meet up with Queen Medusa and Yunshan, to remove the restriction that the Soul Palace had placed on Yunshan's soul, and to complete the finishing touches of this operation.

With the blessing of Eagle Wings and Three Thousand Thunders, Lin Yuan's Dou Qi wings surpassed those of ordinary Dou Zong.

His figure was like a flash of lightning, cutting through the sky and flashing towards the agreed meeting point.

On the other side, the battle between the protector Wu and the ancient clan's Dou Zong has also ended, and the huge pit below tells of the cruelty of the battle.

Above the pit, a strange black fog was swirling, heralding the winner of this battle - the guardian Wu.

However, the condition of the protector Wu was not very good at this time, and the black mist surrounding him was much lighter than before the battle.

The black fog continued to roll, and from time to time there were cries of grief, as well as waves of creepy chewing sounds. Along with these ominous sounds, the black fog surrounding the guardian Wu slowly became thicker again.

After half an hour of repair, the black fog finally returned to its original thickness.

Guardian Wu looked at the pit below, a dark shadow flashed in his eyes, and his cold voice was filled with anger: "Damn the ancient people, they are so stubborn that they would rather self-destruct than hand over their souls. I lost a lot of the souls I collected this time."

"And that bastard Yunshan, he was asked to do the interception work, but he dared to run off to chase and kill without permission. Leaving his post without permission to eliminate the enemy is simply using public power for personal gain."

"Fortunately, nothing went wrong this time, otherwise I would have to kill him."

"When he is no longer of any use, this guardian will extract his soul and torture him."

After venting his anger, Wu finally regained his composure. He turned into a gust of cold wind and quickly flew towards the Xiao family.

When they arrived, they saw that the Xiao family's house was in ruins and devastated.

Sensing the arrival of the guardian Wu, the four soul messengers quickly gathered in front of him, each holding a person in their hands.

"Have you got the things and the people?" asked the protector Wu coldly.

"Reporting to the Lord Protector, we have searched the Xiao family thoroughly and have seized all the green jades. The head of the Xiao family, his cronies, and two elders have also been captured by us." The soul messenger holding Xiao Zhan replied respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Dharma Protector Wu pondered for a moment.

"That ancient clan Dou Zong had made a similar move during the battle. We should not stay here for long. If we delay, something unexpected will happen. Now that we have the Xiao family's Patriarch, it is enough to get through to the mission."

Thinking of this, Wu Guardian no longer hesitated and said coldly: "Very good, let's leave."

Immediately, he did not stop at all. His figure flashed and turned into a black mist. It rushed to the edge of the sky like lightning and quickly disappeared.

In the outer courtyard of Canaan College, on a not very eye-catching mountain, Gu Xun'er, wearing a light blue dress, stood quietly. The cold moonlight shone on her beautiful face, making her look particularly indifferent and alienated.

After a moment, her cold voice rang out softly, with a hint of barely perceptible anger: "Come out!"

As her voice fell, a black figure flashed like a ghost, knelt on one knee respectfully, and whispered: "Miss."

Gu Xun'er said nothing more, and took out a crystal clear jade piece from the ring, and tapped three places on it with her fingertips. The soul marks that were originally glittering had disappeared, which meant that the three people had lost their lives.

"The soul marks of Ling Yue, Ling Tong, and Ling Lan have disappeared, which means that something serious has happened to the Xiao family. Quickly arrange for someone to go investigate."

Hearing this, the black figure said in a deep voice, "Yes, Miss. I will immediately arrange for someone to investigate and deal with it."

Gu Xun'er pondered for a moment and spoke again: "This matter needs to be reported to Elder Ling immediately, and he must be careful. But for the time being, do not mobilize Elder Ling to investigate, and let him continue to protect Brother Xiao Yan. In addition, do not tell Brother Xiao Yan about this matter before the end of the three-year agreement."

At this point, Gu Xun'er couldn't help but feel distressed: "Unfortunately, the power deployed by the clan in the Jia Ma Empire is insufficient, and there is not much power available."

Thinking of this, Gu Xun'er continued: "Also, if there is a need to help Brother Xiao Yan, but the strength is really insufficient, you can let Elder Ling's man called Tianshu to make the deal. If necessary, you can use my name."

"If my guess is correct, that person should be considered a trustworthy person."

"Miss..." The black figure seemed to have something to say, but when he met Gu Xun'er's cold and firm eyes, he finally chose to remain silent and nodded respectfully: "Yes, Miss."

"Then Miss, do we need to inform the clan immediately about this incident?" asked the black figure.

"I will make the decision on this matter, you can leave first." Gu Xun'er said lightly.

"Yes, miss." The black figure bowed again and then disappeared into the night like a ghost.

After the black figure left, Gu Xun'er looked towards the direction of the Jia Ma Empire, with a little more anxiety in her eyes, "Brother Xiao Yan, please come to Canaan Academy as soon as possible. The Jia Ma Empire is not safe now. After you come here, Xun'er can better protect you."
