Chapter 141 Return and Encounter Yan Li
"Watch a show, what show?" asked Queen Medusa.

Lin Yuan looked in the direction of Jia Ma Holy City and said, "See how Xiao Yan and the people behind the Xiao family respond, and see what the Soul Palace does next. See if there is a suitable opportunity. I want to capture a Soul Palace guardian."

At present, Lin Yuan's research on the envisioned "Divine Transformation" or the forging of a soul clone capable of carrying the strange fire requires more profound Soul Palace knowledge as support.

The guardian Wu is undoubtedly the best target at the moment. Although his strength is not too strong and he has few helpers, he has many enemies.

Queen Medusa looked at Lin Yuan solemnly after hearing this and said seriously: "Although I will not interfere with your decision, the Soul Palace and the Imperial Clan are both huge monsters. You need to be extremely careful when you act."

"Don't worry, I know." Lin Yuan nodded, and then asked: "The Queen won't come with me?"

Queen Medusa shook her head and said, "The migration of the snake people has reached the final stage. As the queen, I need to preside over some matters. In addition, I have to go back to look after Xiao Cai and Zi Yan. If I'm not here, those two little guys will probably start making trouble again."

After saying this, Queen Medusa pondered for a moment and formed a few seals with her hands. On her smooth forehead, a colorful snake scale suddenly appeared, emitting a faint colorful glow.

She stroked the colorful scales with her slender hands and said slowly, "This scale was made by refining a strand of my soul using the secret method of the snake people. It is used for the most urgent communication within the tribe."

Then, Queen Medusa changed her hand seals, and a wisp of soul power was gently drawn from the colorful scales, lingering on her fingertips.

She cut through Lin Yuan's clothes, then placed the soul on Lin Yuan's chest, turning it into a faint colorful mark.

Looking at the colorful mark, Medusa nodded with satisfaction and chuckled, "If you encounter something that requires my help, just burn this soul and I will be able to sense it. At that time, I will rush to the Holy City of Gama immediately."

Lin Yuan didn't act pretentiously, he just nodded slightly and accepted her kindness.

Then, he took out a ring and handed it to Queen Medusa, "These are some things I picked out while strolling around. I hope you like them."

Queen Medusa took it and looked at it. There was nothing valuable inside, just some well-made clothes and delicious food that he had selected some time ago. She nodded calmly, turned around and flew towards the Tagor Desert. However, her back inexplicably gave people a feeling of lightness.

After watching her leave, Lin Yuan touched the soul mark on his chest and said, "The magical effect of the soul mark? It is quite unique. The snake people are indeed extraordinary."

With a sigh, Lin Yuan spread his wings and flew towards the Holy City of Gama.

The next day, in the holy city of Gama.

When the sky was just getting light, the city was already bustling with activity. This was because today was the day to decide the outcome of the Alchemist Conference.

Although it was still early, the Royal Plaza where the competition was held was already crowded with people. After word of mouth spread among the audience at yesterday's competition, the exciting contest attracted countless people and raised the popularity to a higher level.

In the Mittel family's mansion, Lin Yuan looked at Qing Lin, who was dressed up carefully, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Qing Lin was in good spirits today. Although she had consumed a lot of her energy in maintaining the Sky Network for a long time in order to fight in the past few days, due to the use of the Yuanhun Pill, her mind and soul power had been completely restored.

"Qing'er, today is the final round of the Alchemy Conference. This is a rare opportunity. Let's go and take a look together." Lin Yuan invited softly.

"Okay, sir." Qinglin said excitedly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Although she was already a Dou Wang warrior, she was still just a young girl after all. She was still looking forward to the lively scene.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan and Qing Lin left the Mittel family's mansion.

However, the two did not go directly to the competition venue, but instead strolled leisurely together on the streets of the imperial capital.

Perhaps it was because he held the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in his hand that he could influence the Soul Clan's millennium plan to a certain extent. Lin Yuan's mentality was much calmer and more relaxed than before, and the urgency of being chased by time in his heart was also reduced a lot.

Lin Yuan took Qing Lin and strolled on the bustling streets, feeling the hustle and bustle of the city.

All around were the sounds of vendors shouting and pedestrians chatting, and occasionally one could hear some people excitedly discussing yesterday's game.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan stopped and looked forward. Qing Lin looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet someone I was looking for here." Lin Yuan chuckled, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes. "Qing'er, maybe we have a chance to get news about your sister Xiao Yixian."

Qing Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in surprise, "News about Sister Xiao Yixian? Is it true, sir?"

Although Qinglin had only been with Xiao Yixian for a few months, she had always valued Xiao Yixian, who loved and cared for her like a sister.

"Yeah." Lin Yuan nodded, turned his gaze to the front, and said lightly: "Here he comes. Look, it's the person in front."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in a gray robe appeared in front of the two of them. It was the young man in a gray robe who had competed with Xiao Yan at the competition venue yesterday. However, the young man was just an illusion. His real identity was Yan Li, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild of the Izumo Empire.

At this moment, Yan Li was emitting a cold aura, with a deep gloom in his eyes, and was walking towards the competition venue.

Qinglin followed Lin Yuan's gaze and saw Yanli, his eyes flashing green light.

After a moment, Qing Lin said in a deep voice: "Sir, that person's soul and body seem to be somewhat mismatched."

Hearing Qing Lin's words, Lin Yuan explained: "Because he used the Rejuvenation Pill, which made his body younger."

However, Lin Yuan was still somewhat surprised that Qing Lin could see the problem at a glance.

Even Fa Ma, a peak Douhuang and fifth-grade peak alchemist, could not see Yan Li's abnormality.

But he didn't expect that Qing Lin, whose current cultivation level was that of a Seven-Star Dou King, could rely on the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil to see through his problem directly.

Lin Yuan glanced at Qing Lin and felt a little emotional: "Qing'er is getting stronger faster than I thought. After accepting the inheritance of the snake people, I'm afraid she will have another leap. Maybe I will be able to eat her soft rice soon."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt a little complicated. He felt satisfied with what he had wished for, but deep in his heart he also had an indescribable sense of crisis.

Lin Yuan suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, looked at Yanli, his eyes were stern, and a condensed soul power mixed with fierce murderous aura was accurately projected towards Yanli.

Yan Li, who was walking forward, suddenly felt himself enveloped by an irresistible murderous aura. He subconsciously looked at the young man not far ahead, only to see that the man was looking at him with an extremely indifferent look.

Afterwards, Yan Li saw the man's lips move slightly, and an unquestionable and deafening voice echoed in his ears, "Follow me, or die."

After the other party finished speaking, he took the blue-clothed girl beside him and walked into a luxurious restaurant owned by the Mittel family next door.

Yanli touched the blood on his ear and shook his head, trying to get rid of the stinging pain in his soul.

He looked around and found that no one noticed anything unusual.

At this moment, when Yan Li looked at Lin Yuan's back again, there was a bit more awe in his eyes.

After just that brief contact, he knew that he had met a strong man whom he could neither provoke nor resist. So, he followed Lin Yuan obediently and followed him into a quiet private room in the restaurant.

After entering the house, Lin Yuan waved his hand casually, and a powerful soul power enveloped his body, blocking the inside and outside.

Yan Li's eyes narrowed as he looked at this move. This powerful soul power and the ability to use it with ease were far beyond what he could match.

Thinking of this, Yan Li's heart became more fearful, and the look he gave Lin Yuan was also more respectful. Lin Yuan turned around, looked at Yan Li, and said calmly: "Yan Li, you have a game later, I won't delay you any longer."

When his identity was exposed, Yan Li's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously thought of the high-ranking officials of the Nagama Empire who had exposed his identity last night.

"Could this person be in league with the top brass of the Gama Empire?"

As if seeing through his thoughts, Lin Yuan said calmly: "Don't worry, I have no interest in the dispute between the Jia Ma Empire and the Izumo Empire. Answer my questions honestly, and if I'm in a good mood, you can leave safely. Otherwise, hehehe..."

When Yan Li heard these words that did not conceal the murderous intent at all, his heart trembled and he said respectfully, "Yes, sir."

"Tell me about the current situation of the Chuyun Empire, especially the things related to the Poison Sect." Lin Yuan said calmly, "Remember, don't joke with your own life."

As soon as the word "Poison Sect" came out, Yan Li's eyes suddenly shrank, and his mind couldn't help but recall the terrifying, peerless silver-haired woman and her indifferent and ruthless gray-purple eyes.

He secretly glanced at Lin Yuan again. At this time, Lin Yuan's indifferent eyes were somewhat similar to those of the Tiandu woman he had met before.

"Don't make an enemy of them!"

Thinking of this, Yan Li took a deep breath and began to tell what he knew: "The Poison Sect, this sect appeared in my Izumo Empire more than a year ago, but it has grown very fast and is now the new overlord of the Izumo Empire."

"The Poison Sect follows the principle of 'those who obey me will prosper, those who disobey me will perish'. In the past two years, it has eliminated many family sects in Izumo."

"And the reason why the Poison Sect was able to grow at such a terrifying speed is that we have to mention the Poison Sect's leader, the legend of the Izumo Empire, the Sky Poison Girl."

"She is rising rapidly at an extremely terrifying speed. Every time she appears in front of people, her cultivation level is undergoing earth-shaking changes."

"Before coming to the Jia Ma Empire, I had the honor of meeting Lady Tian Du. At that time, she was already a Dou Zong strongman, and she also subdued the legendary Netherworld Poison Fire."

After listening to Yan Li's story, Lin Yuan basically understood the experience of the Little Medical Fairy.

In short, after Xiao Yixian entered Chuyun and lay dormant for a while, she founded the Poison Sect. After that, her life was just about practicing, fighting for territory, and destroying families, and so on.

Under the leadership of Xiao Yixian, the Poison Sect expanded at a very fast speed. So far, the Poison Sect she led has become the new overlord of the Izumo Empire in name and in reality, nearly 30% of the entire Izumo Empire is under the actual control of the Poison Sect.

However, Xiao Yixian did not choose to stop, but chose to lead the Poison Sect to continue expanding. Every day, forces in the Izumo Empire were destroyed and annexed by the Poison Sect.

Recently, many forces in the Izumo Empire have established an organization called the Anti-Poison Sect Alliance in order to resist the Poison Sect.

Perhaps because of the balance of power, the two sides have entered a stalemate and the current situation is relatively calm. However, people with discerning eyes have long seen that a shocking war will break out between the Poison Sect and the Anti-Poison Sect Alliance sooner or later, and this war will completely determine the ownership of the Izumo Empire.

After listening to Yan Li's words, Lin Yuan looked at Yan Li with interest and asked calmly, "What about you? Which side does the Alchemist Guild of the Izumo Empire support?"

Yan Li hesitated for a moment, and finally said honestly: "We have different opinions internally, but the mainstream of the top leaders tends to support the anti-poison sect alliance because the Poison Sect is too overbearing. However, because Lady Sky Poison is too terrifying, no one dares to go against her."

"Finally, after everyone discussed it, they decided that the Izumo Empire Alchemist Guild would remain neutral and help whoever wins."

"Oh? So, what about you?" Lin Yuan looked at Yan Li playfully.

Yan Li looked at Lin Yuan's meaningful eyes and decided to take a gamble. From the question just now, he vaguely felt that this powerful man in front of him, who was completely unpredictable, seemed to have an unusual relationship with Tiandu Girl.

So, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I support Lady Tiandu."

"Haha, very good! Congratulations, Yanli, you are a smart man. You saved your life this time." Lin Yuan clapped his hands and chuckled, saying meaningfully: "You should be betting on the relationship between me and Tiandu Girl just now, right? You bet right, she and I are good friends."

"Although I can't go to the Izumo Empire to help her directly for the time being, but since you have appeared in front of me, I will not let go of this opportunity to help her."

Upon hearing this, Yanli couldn't help but take a deep breath and felt a little calmer.

In any case, it seems that his life has been saved temporarily.

But at the same time, he also felt the extreme indifference and coldness from the young man in front of him, who was very similar to the Sky Poison Girl he had met before.

Thinking of this, Yan Li hurriedly cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "I have long admired Lady Tiandu and am very happy to serve her."

Lin Yuan patted his shoulder and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, I admire people like you who understand current affairs. Since you want to serve her, I will naturally fulfill your wish. Now, relax your mind, I will set a restriction on your soul as a basis for trust."

Upon hearing this, Yan Li couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah, Your Excellency..."

Although he was mentally prepared, Yan Li was still confused by the other party's simple, straightforward and unscrupulous behavior. Generally speaking, shouldn't it be a scene of a loyal minister meeting a wise master? Why did he start with a soul restriction?

"Hmm? Are you hesitating?" Seeing Yan Li's hesitation, Lin Yuan frowned slightly and said indifferently: "Are you lying to me just now? It seems that I can't keep you."

As he spoke, a hint of danger flashed across Lin Yuan's eyes, and the fighting spirit in his hands quickly condensed, as if he was about to kill in the next second.

"Damn it, where did this barbarian come from?" Yan Li sighed in his heart, but he said hurriedly: "Sir, you misunderstood, I was just thinking of a way to make the guild completely side with Lady Tiandu."

Seeing Lin Yuan's already somewhat impatient eyes, Yan Li stopped talking nonsense and quickly relaxed his mind, making it easier for Lin Yuan to set up the soul restriction.

However, after the ban was set, most of the resentment in Yanli's heart disappeared.

At the same time, the look he gave Lin Yuan was even more submissive and respectful.

Because when Yan Li set up the restriction on Lin Yuan, he felt the vast soul power of Lin Yuan. As an alchemist, Yan Li knew very well what that meant.

The young-looking man in front of him was either an extremely powerful warrior or a very high-level alchemist.

No matter what, this person is not someone that a mere fifth-grade alchemist like me can resist.

"Isn't it an honor to be noticed and used by such a big shot?" Yan Li comforted himself in his heart.

After Lin Yuan placed the restriction, he thought for a moment, then took out a "pill" from the ring and handed it to Yan Li.

"Sir, what is this?" Yanli asked cautiously.

Lin Yuan smiled indifferently and said calmly: "I referred to the principle of branding poison and refined the poison using the fire poison as the raw material. Without absolute strength, it can only be solved by the fire. I heard that you have the idea of ​​combining poison masters and alchemists, why not give it a try."

"Brand poison? Strange fire poison?" Yan Li took a breath of cold air and said awkwardly, "You are joking."

Lin Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently: "I am not a person who likes to joke. I never trust verbal loyalty. After you take this pill, only the Sky Poison Girl who has recovered the strange fire in the Izumo Empire can treat you."

"In this case, you will have no choice but to serve her well. She can also sense from the aura of the strange fire carried by this pill that it was me who took action, which will allow you to initially gain her trust."

"After explaining so much, now take this 'pill'. Or do you intend to die here?"
