Chapter 181: Capturing the Guardian and Conspiring against the Scorpions

Izumo Empire, near Ghost Mountain.

At this moment, the Protector Yuan, who was the incarnation of the blood soul, was standing face to face with the Protector Tie.

"Iron Guardian, are you really unwilling to do this?" The cold voice of Guardian Yuan came from the black fog, "If you delay the task assigned by Elder Mu Gu, do you really think you can handle it?"

"Hehe, if you really can't accomplish what Elder Mu Gu wants, then what does that have to do with me?" Iron Guardian said disdainfully, "It only shows that you are too useless."

Dharma Protector Yuan seemed to be angered by Dharma Protector Tie, and said grimly: "Since it has come to this, this Dharma Protector will not be polite..."

When the situation was tense, two Douhuang-level auras suddenly appeared in the Iron Protector's perception.

The Iron Protector was staring at the Yuan Protector, who was also surrounded by black fog. He should have also discovered the aura of this Dou Huang level.

"Hehehe, just because you say no, this protector can't get the soul? This protector just took the souls of these two Douhuangs of the Izumo Empire by force, what can you do?" The cold voice of Protector Yuan came from the black fog.

Immediately, black mist surged on his body and flashed towards the Dou Huang aura.

“We can’t let him succeed.” Iron Guardian’s eyes were stern, and he chased after him at a faster speed. “If there’s a first time, there will be a second, a third, and countless times after that.”

Soon, the figure of Iron Protector passed by Yuan Protector.

"Is this the level of the Dharma Protector from Zhongzhou? This Dharma Protector has said before that Izumo's soul belongs to this Dharma Protector. So, I'll take these two souls! Hehehe~" The Dharma Protector Tie sneered as he passed the Dharma Protector Yuan.

Immediately, black mist surged from his body, and his speed increased again, and he pounced towards the two Dou Huang auras he sensed.

When two figures appeared in front of him, the Iron Protector flipped his palms, and two black chains suddenly shot out from the black fog, cutting through the sky in an instant. The speed was so fast that it was dazzling.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Two chains shot towards two figures - Lin Yuan and Zi Yan.

Seeing this, Zi Yan grinned, took a step forward and protected Lin Yuan behind her. A strong purple light burst out from her body, swirled around her jade fist, and turned into a thin layer of purple crystal.

At the same time, Lin Yuan took a step back tacitly, and his hands formed seals and flipped over.

"Zi Yan Overlord Fist!"

Zi Yan let out a delicate cry, and purple light suddenly erupted from her jade fist like a volcano. A majestic torrent of purple light vaguely turned into a dragon shape, and burst out with a fierce fist wind, hitting the two poisonous python-like chains in an instant.

"Oh!"

When the two collided, there was an earth-shaking sound and a terrifying air wave swept across the sky like a storm.

"break!"

With a delicate shout, the two black chains burst under the bombardment of purple light and fist wind.

Upon seeing this, Iron Protector looked at Zi Yan in surprise. Although it was just a casual attack from him just now, he didn't expect that he would be hit head-on by a Dou Huang.

“Hehehe, a Dou Huang of such a young age can still take this protector’s attack. It seems that he is a genius. Unfortunately, this protector’s favorite thing to do is to kill geniuses! As for the other one…”

However, when Iron Protector's eyes swept over Lin Yuan behind Zi Yan, he was suddenly shocked.

At this moment, a brilliant light mark has taken shape between Lin Yuan's palms.

"Three Light Seals: Starry Sky Seal!"

The moment the light seal took shape, endless energy from heaven and earth surged, and starlight gathered towards Lin Yuan's palm, and a terrifying and majestic aura diffused.

Locked in by this terrifying aura, even the Iron Protector felt a genuine palpitation.

"Not good, we've run into tough guys this time. These two are definitely not from the Izumo Empire." Iron Guardian thought to himself, and immediately shouted to Lin Yuan: "My friend, please stop. It was a misunderstanding just now. I recognized the wrong person."

"hehe!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled sarcastically, holding the light seal in his right hand, and said playfully: "You came up and killed me, is this a misunderstanding? Monster, I still like your unruly look just now."

"Monster...monster? Boy, you're looking for death!" Hearing Lin Yuan's ridicule, the Iron Protector became furious.

Afterwards, thick black fog burst out from his body. The surging energy contained in the black fog caused the space to fluctuate.

At this time, a figure shrouded in black mist flew down from the sky and stopped beside Iron Protector. A mocking voice followed, "Haha, what a shame, Iron Protector! You can't even easily deal with two Dou Huangs."

Hearing this, Iron Guardian snorted coldly and said coldly: "These two people are not simple, they are not from the Izumo Empire."

He looked at the light seal in Lin Yuan's hand with fear, and suggested to Guardian Yuan: "Let's cooperate and harvest these two Douhuang souls, and we will each get one."

"It's a deal. This Protector wants that little girl." Protector Yuan looked at Zi Yan, who was surrounded by purple light, and said lightly.

Hearing this, Guardian Tie glanced at Guardian Yuan subtly, thinking to himself, "Want that little girl? The older one's soul is obviously much stronger. Could it be that this guy from Zhongzhou has some strange interests?"

"Alright, I will accept this powerful soul."

Looking at Lin Yuan greedily, the Iron Protector said simply: "Hehehe, it's a deal. The smaller one is yours and the larger one is mine. Let's do it..."

"It's a deal!" A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of Protector Yuan and Lin Yuan at the same time.

"Three Light Seals: Starry Sky Seal!" With a light shout, Lin Yuan bent his thumb and pushed the hand seal forward fiercely. The light seal in his palm suddenly flew out of his hand and finally turned into a light seal as bright as a star, flashing towards the Iron Protector.

The Iron Protector had an extremely solemn expression on his face, and he quickly formed several hand seals while waving his hands.

Immediately, the thick black fog that permeated its body suddenly shrank, and in a moment the black fog dissipated and turned into a pitch-black energy ball.

"Ghost Burial!"

A black ball appeared, and the Iron Protector's eyes became stern. He raised the ball to prepare to meet the silver light that flashed towards him.

At the same time, he shouted, "Protector Yuan, go!"

And Dharma Protector Yuan did not disappoint Dharma Protector Tie's expectations and responded decisively to the call of Dharma Protector Tie at the first opportunity.

"Pfft-"

A hand shrouded in black mist pierced through the Iron Protector's chest from behind and landed precisely on the soul bag in front of him.

"Pfft-"

Protector Yuan pulled out his hand by the soul bag of Protector Tie and dodged from the spot, leaving the severely injured and stunned Protector Tie standing there, submerged by the oncoming silver torrent.

The Starry Sky Seal and the Ghost Burial collided with the Iron Guardian, and waves of black and silver energy swept across the sky. The trees in the mountains below were directly broken with crackling sounds, startling countless monsters.

Some towering peaks also collapsed under the influence of this energy, bringing with them countless boulders that fell from the peaks. A few minutes later, when the surging energy had completely dissipated, the now extremely depressed Iron Guardian appeared, and the black mist that enveloped him became extremely thin.

Tie Protector's eyes were red, and he looked at Yuan Protector with extreme hatred.

Dharma Protector Yuan was standing side by side with Lin Yuan, playing with the soul bag he had snatched from Dharma Protector Tie. The soul bag contained the fruits of Tie Protector Tie's two years of labor.

When the Iron Protector saw this, he immediately realized that he had been tricked this time.

"Now that things have come to this, any thoughts are useless. All we can do is run for our lives first."

Thinking of this, the Iron Guardian's cold voice filled with hatred rang out: "Guardian Yuan, you bastard traitor, in order to rob me of the souls I collected, you actually teamed up with outsiders to attack me, a fellow guardian. The adults in the palace will never let you go."

Before he finished speaking, the Iron Protector did not hesitate at all. He forced some black mist to wrap himself and fled towards the sky.

"Hehehe, you want to run? No way."

Seeing Iron Protector fleeing, Yuan Protector suddenly clenched his hands, and the space not far in front of Iron Protector suddenly twisted, and his fleeing figure became much slower as a result.

At the same time, Zi Yan, who had been prepared, appeared in front of the Iron Protector and punched out a condensed purple light, causing the Iron Protector to fly back.

Lin Yuan tacitly released the Heart Flame, which transformed into a ten-foot-long dragon-shaped fire spirit and swallowed the Iron Protector in one gulp.

"what--"

A shrill scream echoed around.

Lin Yuan calmly controlled the fire in his heart with precision, roasting the Iron Protector for several minutes before transforming the dragon-shaped fire spirit into a solid fire shield, trapping the extremely weak soul of the Iron Protector inside.

At this moment, the black mist protecting the Iron Protector's body dissipated, and his illusory and weak soul was completely exposed.

A few minutes after the Falling Heart Flame left his body, Iron Guardian finally recovered. He looked at the fire shield surrounding him with fear, and after shrinking to a safe position, he stared fiercely at the three people in front of him, especially the Abyss Guardian who was playing with the soul bag.

"Damn you, traitor. You have broken the rules of the palace. If what happened today is exposed, even Elder Mu Gu can't save you."

"And you, if you kill me, Soul Palace will never let you go!"

"Haha, don't worry, I won't kill you." Lin Yuan smiled lightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "However, seeing how energetic you are, I think it will be quite fun to train you later."

As he spoke, he waved his hand casually, and the fire shield suddenly shrank, wrapping around the Iron Protector's soul.

"what--"

Accompanied by a puff of white smoke, shrill screams rang out again.

It was not until the Iron Guardian appeared half-dead and transparent that Lin Yuan sealed him into a black box.

After he put away the box, he looked at the mixed bag in the hands of Guardian Yuan with satisfaction and smiled, "Hehe, with so many powerful souls, the subsequent research on souls can be greatly advanced."

"There was quite a commotion just now. I'm afraid someone will come to investigate soon. Let's leave first."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's mind moved, and he put the blood soul and soul bag into the soul ring. He took Zi Yan away from here and flew towards Tiandu City.

On the way, the two happened to meet the little medical fairy who was flying towards them.

"Lin Yuan, not long ago I felt a strong energy shock, which should be at the Dou Zong level. Is it related to you?" asked the Little Medical Fairy.

"Yeah!" Lin Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "We are lucky today. Zi Yan and I just happened to find the Soul Palace guardian who was helping the Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect, and we took care of him along the way."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yixian's eyes flashed with surprise, "You guys solved this Dou Zong-level enemy so easily?"

In fact, it’s no wonder that she was surprised.

Because at this moment, Lin Yuan and Zi Yan did not look like they had experienced a big battle. Their breathing was steady and there was not even a scratch on their bodies.

Hearing this, Zi Yan put her hands on her hips and smiled proudly, "Hehe, Sister Xiao Yixian, my brother and I are invincible when we work together."

"Girl, be modest." Lin Yuan smiled and patted Zi Yan's head. He said to the Little Medical Fairy, "Let's find a quiet place. We will explain this matter in detail and discuss the follow-up matters."

The Little Medical Fairy nodded and said, "Come with me, and let's talk in detail at my retreat place. No one will disturb me there."

As she spoke, she took the lead and flew towards the Poison Sect headquarters, and Lin Yuan and Zi Yan followed.
-
Tiandu City, the forbidden area of ​​the Poison Sect.

Lin Yuan and Zi Yan followed the Little Medical Fairy, passing through layers of extremely tight defenses, and came to the stone pool where the Little Medical Fairy usually practiced in seclusion.

Looking at this pool of powerful water, Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with a strange color, "Good water, good recipe!"

The little medical fairy followed Lin Yuan's gaze and looked towards the pool, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.

"This pool of poisonous water was created by me by mixing hundreds of poisonous plants and insects. The combination of various toxicities makes the energy in it extremely powerful. However, poisonous water is poisonous water after all, and the poison contained in it is also extremely strong, enough to corrode flesh and blood."

"Therefore, Zi Yan, even you are not allowed to touch this pool of water casually."

As she spoke, the Little Medical Fairy quickly grabbed the curious Zi Yan and stuffed a storage ring into her hand, consoling her: "Since you like medicinal herbs so much, I'll give this to you as a gift..."

Zi Yan took the ring and looked at it. A large number of medicinal herbs immediately came into view. She shouted "I'm rich" and walked to the side to check and count them one by one.

Counting the loot was a habit she had developed after her recent robberies.

Lin Yuan walked up to Little Medical Fairy and praised her, "This poison pool... Little Medical Fairy, your talent in refining poisons is still enviable."

The Little Medical Fairy glanced at Lin Yuan dimly and sighed, "I don't think this is something to be envied. If possible, I still want to be an alchemist. Unfortunately, even if I control the strange fire, I still can't become an alchemist."

"I don't think so." Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "Doesn't the Izumo Empire have the idea of ​​combining poison techniques and alchemy techniques?"

"Both poison and elixir are made from natural materials and treasures. The boundary between the two may not be that clear."

Xiao Yixian frowned and asked, "Are you talking about 'Erysipelas Confluence', the concept that Yanli is promoting?"

"Oh? It seems you have also learned about it." Lin Yuan nodded and said softly: "That's it. When I met Yan Li in the Jia Ma Empire before, he gave me his research results. I studied it and it's a very immature but interesting idea."

"In my opinion, you who possess the Netherworld Poison Fire may be the best explorer and practitioner of that path."

"Yeah?"

"Who knows?" Lin Yuan smiled lightly and said seriously: "However, we will explore the future together in the future. Now, let's focus on the present, first solve the Wanxie Sect and complete the plan of unifying Izumo."

"The Soul Palace's guardian was captured by Zi Yan and I today by coincidence, and the Wanxie Sect's external aid has been lost. After we synchronize intelligence, we can decide on an action against the Wanxie Sect."
