Chapter 140 Self-destruction Leisure
It didn't take much effort for Lin Yuan and Yunshan to reach a consensus on 'Yunshan's self-destruction'.

Then, under the inexplicable gaze of Medusa, the two began to carefully design a self-destruction plan, with the goal of making the self-destruction look as real as possible while minimizing the damage to the soul.

In just half a cup of tea, the two completed their plan.

Soon, the fierce conflict between the two Dou Zong-level energies continued in the Warcraft Mountain Range, accompanied by roars of anger.

"Yunshan, let's settle the old grudge between you and me today."

"This sect is unwilling to give up. This sect has not yet led our Yunlan Sect to the peak."

"Damned enemy of Yunlan, I will never let you off even if I die. Be buried here with me!"

"boom--"

A deafening explosion, like the collapse of heaven and earth, resounded throughout the Warcraft Mountain Range.

With this loud noise, the life of Yunshan, the leader of the Yunlan Sect who was famous in the Jia Ma Empire and had been active for many years, and the only Dou Zong in the Jia Ma Empire, came to an end.

Soon, the raging energy storm gradually subsided, and a huge pit appeared in the sight of the three people.

Looking at the huge pit caused by Yunshan's self-explosion in the Warcraft Forest, as well as the mess within a radius of dozens of miles, Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

He looked at Yunshan's soul and said with a smile, "Friend Yunshan, all traces have been cleared. This way, there will be no risk of error."

Yunshan took a deep look at the huge pit that represented his death, and knew in his heart that from this moment on, he would never be able to appear in front of the world as Yunshan again.

With a sigh, Yunshan turned to look at Lin Yuan, and then told him all the backup plans he had made to guard against Lin Yuan.

Then he stared at Lin Yuan for a moment, bowed deeply to Lin Yuan, and expressed his request.

"I have staked everything on my friend. I hope that after I fall asleep, you can protect the Yunlan Sect. It doesn't matter if the Yunlan Sect declines a little, just ask my friend not to let the Yunlan Sect's Taoist heritage be cut off."

Lin Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my friend, I will accept this matter. This matter is not troublesome, and I have some forces in the Jiama Empire that can be mobilized."

Hearing Lin Yuan's promise, Yunshan showed a hint of relief on his face.

Suddenly, he thought of his disciple, the exiled Yun Yun, whom he had raised, and pleaded earnestly, "In addition, if you encounter Yun'er when you travel on the continent in the future, please take care of her."

Lin Yuan nodded and agreed to his request.

After explaining everything, Yunshan's soul became a little illusory. After all, his soul was damaged in the self-explosion just now.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan took out a black box covered with runes. This was a product that Lin Yuan had made based on the Soul Palace's Soul Bag, and it was very effective in storing souls.

He formed several mysterious seals with his hands, sealing Yunshan's soul within them, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.

After finishing everything, Lin took a deep breath and looked at the black box in his hand that sealed Yunshan's soul. A hint of satisfaction appeared in his deep eyes.

Yunshan's soul is still very useful, maybe it can be used to fish for the guardian. If Yunyun has the same good fortune as in the original timeline, it would be a good choice to make friends with her and trade with her.

"This matter is over. Next, we will remove the backup plans that Yunshan mentioned, and the final risk management will be completed."

At this time, a cold and playful voice came from behind Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan, you are really good. You tricked a Dou Zong into self-destructing, and his soul fell into your hands, for you to slaughter. In the end, he was still grateful to you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan put the black box in his hand into the ring, turned around and looked at Queen Medusa behind him.

I saw her eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes flashing with a faint fluorescence, looking at me playfully.

"It's just the advantage of determination and intelligence." Lin Yuan chuckled and explained, "Although we have cooperated for a long time, Yunshan doesn't know my background after all, so he naturally can't be sure how much effect his trump card can have on me."

"Without bargaining chips, he has very little room to maneuver."

"On the other hand, he had too much responsibility when making the decision. The inheritance and survival of the sect depended on his decision. This meant that he could not easily choose to fight to the death."

"And the most important thing is..." Lin Yuan took a step forward, took Queen Medusa into his arms, and chuckled, "With you by my side, his life is in our hands. In this situation, choosing to fight to the death doesn't make much sense. So, thank you this time, my queen."

"Really?" Queen Medusa slid her fingertips across Lin Yuan's chest and asked, "If you were him, what would you choose?"

"Me?" Lin Yuan said without hesitation: "Of course I will make the same choice as him."

"Oh? Why?" asked Queen Medusa.

"Haha, because Lin Yuan is the person who is trustworthy in this world." Lin Yuan smiled. Then, he said loudly: "Come on, Your Majesty, I will take you to see the results of this time. It took a lot of effort to get the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan pulled Queen Medusa and rushed towards the reunion place with his clone.

"The Dou Emperor's heirloom, the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade? Interesting." Queen Medusa murmured, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

The holy city of Gama.

Xiao Yan declined the banquet that Yao Ye had carefully prepared for the celebration. Under everyone's admiring gaze, he quietly returned to his residence. As soon as he entered the house, he closed the courtyard, walked straight into the training room, and began to close his eyes and regulate his breathing.

Two hours later.

Xiao Yan opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed across his mind, his chaotic emotions had subsided, and the fighting spirit and soul power he had consumed today had also been restored.

He took a deep breath and whispered in his heart, "Teacher."

After a moment, Yao Lao's approving voice rang out in Xiao Yan's heart: "Xiao Yan, you performed very well today. This Jia Ma Empire's Medicine Refining Conference is also quite interesting."

Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with excitement.

But then, his thoughts drifted to the tough opponent - the gray-robed boy. If he didn't have the strange fire, it would be impossible to win today. And tomorrow would be the time for the real showdown.

"Teacher, that young man in gray robe..."

However, before Xiao Yan could finish, Yao Lao said disdainfully: "Young man? That man is not a young man, but a fifth-rank alchemist of considerable age. He must have taken the 'Rejuvenation Pill' to disguise himself as a young man to participate in the competition. Such a person is simply a disgrace to alchemists."

"A fifth-grade alchemist?!" Xiao Yan was shocked, his brows knitted tightly, and he smiled bitterly, "This is really troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he chuckled, "Don't worry too much. The soul power of that scum alchemist has not even reached the fifth-grade intermediate level. The probability of refining a fifth-grade pill at tomorrow's meeting is extremely low." "As long as it is a fourth-grade pill, you have a chance of winning. Everything depends on whether you can refine the Qingyuan Zhuling Pill."

"Alchemist Conference, three-year agreement, Qingyuan Casting Spiritual Pill..."

After flying for a while, Lin Yuan finally reunited with his clones in a remote valley in the Warcraft Mountains.

Lin Yuan nodded to Queen Medusa, who immediately understood. She formed a few seals with her hands and set up a small space barrier to cover the surroundings.

At the same time, Lin Yuan retrieved his clone and digested the detailed information that the clone had carried over the past few days.

After a while, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a trace of fatigue flashed across his eyes. But soon, this trace of fatigue was replaced by excitement.

He took out a simple box from the ring, opened it, and a piece of emerald green jade appeared inside. Under the moonlight, the strange patterns on the surface of the ancient jade were sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

And in the center of the jade piece, a spot of light was moving slowly, as if it had a spirituality.

"Is this the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade?" Queen Medusa looked at the jade piece in front of her with interest.

"It should be correct. But let me confirm it first."

After saying that, Lin Yuan released his soul power to explore. However, he found that the jade piece was clearly in front of him, but he could not sense anything. This feeling was similar to the Pure Lotus Demon Fire Ancient Map, but it was more profound and more exquisite.

Then, Lin Yuan took out the ancient jade and held it in his palm. He gradually increased the strength of his hand, but the jade in his hand did not move at all.

A strange color flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and he exclaimed: "It is worthy of being the Ancient Emperor Jade, it is indeed magical!"

As he said this, he smiled and looked at Queen Medusa beside him, and handed the jade piece in his hand to her, "Queen, this should be the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade."

Queen Medusa took the jade piece, played with it in her hand, studied it for a while, then handed it back and said calmly, "Except for its extremely hard texture, I can't see anything special about it."

Lin Yuan took the ancient jade, smiled faintly, and said: "There is no way, it is just a key, and it is only one eighth of the key. There are eight pieces of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, and only when all are gathered together can the Ancient Emperor Cave be opened. This piece alone is indeed of little use and cannot accomplish anything."

"In other words, we have to collect the other seven pieces?" Queen Medusa frowned.

"No." Lin Yuan denied her idea and said calmly: "Someone has already done this. What I have to do is to prevent him from completing this task."

"I need time to make up for the gap between myself and those people, and this ancient jade can help me achieve this goal. As long as I have this ancient jade in my hand, although I cannot open the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, I can prevent others from opening the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, which is enough."

Having said that, Lin Yuan tightly grasped the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade in his hand, with a hint of deep thought in his deep eyes.

He also had an idea in his mind, which was to try to use the ancient jade to release Zi Yan's father, the former Dragon Emperor, Zhu Kun, who was trapped in the Ancient Emperor's Cave.

Although he did not collect all the ancient jades, Zhu Kun was not trapped in the cave.

If the old dragon emperor, as the guardian, obtains the ancient jade and becomes the owner of one-eighth of the key, which symbolizes the right of inheritance, then whether his identity as the heir will conflict with that of the guardian, and what the result will be, is a question worth studying.

If the identity of the heir has a higher priority in the rules set by Emperor Tushegu, then it would be possible to release Zhu Kun in advance.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan put the ancient jade into the ring and asked, "Queen, you are here. Where are Zi Yan and Xiao Cai?"

"Zi Yan and Xiao Cai..." Queen Medusa rubbed her forehead when she mentioned the two. "Zi Yan knew I was coming to look for you, so she wanted to sneak over here. Xiao Cai was also inspired by her and wanted to sneak out with me. I spent some effort to finally calm them down."

At this point, a hint of teasing flashed across Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes, and she glanced at Lin Yuan lightly.

"From Zi Yan's behavior, you must have spoiled her a lot when you were with her on weekdays."

Hearing Queen Medusa's words, Lin Yuan sneered, and quickly used his fighting spirit to condense a comfortable chair, and attentively helped her sit down. Then, he gently placed his hands on the queen's shoulders, using his skilled techniques to massage her and help her relax.

Lin Yuan's technique was gentle and powerful, making Queen Medusa feel very comfortable. She gradually narrowed her eyes, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

Lin Yuan helped Queen Medusa press down while chatting with her.

“Although Zi Yan is a noisy girl, she is also very cute and interesting.” He changed the position of the pressure and chuckled.

As Lin Yuan's superb power technique continued, Queen Medusa's voice became a little more strange. "I don't deny this. She is indeed an interesting child."

"What about Xiao Cai? Has her sleepiness improved after taking the pill?" Lin Yuan asked.

Queen Medusa slowly opened her eyes, a trace of relief flashing in her eyes: "Although I am still sleepy, I am much better and more lively than before."

"That's good, it means the first stage of treatment was successful." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

The two chatted and enjoyed this rare quiet time. Not long after, Queen Medusa let out a lazy and pleasant hum: "Hmm~, not bad, your technique is quite good, who did you learn it from?"

“Hehe.” Lin Yuan smiled faintly and said, “When I was mentally exhausted, Qing’er often gave me massages. Over time, I learned how to do it.”

"Really..." Queen Medusa stood up and stretched, exuding a lazy and charming style. She looked at Lin Yuan, "Little man, you did a good job just now. I am very satisfied. So, there is a reward, and it's my turn next."

As she spoke, Queen Medusa placed her hand on Lin Yuan's chest, and with a clever move, Lin Yuan was pushed onto the chair.

She looked down at Lin Yuan, holding his cheek with one hand, a trace of heat flashed in her eyes, and the tip of her tongue slightly extended, sweeping across her rosy lips. She was like a beautiful snake about to enjoy the delicacy in front of her.

Lin Yuan looked at Queen Medusa's charming appearance, and immediately they had a tacit understanding. With the same burning passion in their eyes, they went forward without giving in.

A short separation is better than a new marriage, and a storm is coming.

The clouds disappear and the rain disappears.

Colorful fighting spirit flowed around Queen Medusa, and an exquisite purple brocade robe appeared and wrapped her delicate body.

She smoothed her hair and then looked at Lin Yuan who was not far away. At this moment, he was staring at the stars in the sky with clear and lofty eyes. As if he could feel the vastness of the universe, Lin Yuan exuded an aura of no desire.

Queen Medusa walked up to him and said with a sweet smile, "You have got the ancient jade you have been planning for. What are you going to do next?"

Hearing Queen Medusa's words, Lin Yuan came back to his senses. Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, who was as gentle and charming as a lotus emerging from the water, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Go and deal with Yunshan's back-up plan. Then, go watch the show."

"Your Majesty, would you like to come with me to the Holy City of Gama to enjoy this rare event?"
