People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

The clue to this ancient relic located in the Beast Territory of Zhongzhou came from a map of the ruins of an ancient sky snake that Xiao Ling had previously obtained from a disciple of the Tianming Sect.

Before going out to Huazong this time, Xiao Ling left this map in Xingyun Pavilion.

After finishing their retreat, Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin naturally got the map that Xiao Ling had specially left behind.

At that time, Xiao Ling was out and had not returned yet. The two of them happened to have nothing to do, so they decided to follow the clues on the map and come to this ancient ruins to explore.

Some clues recorded in this relic map are indeed true. This ancient relic hidden in the Beast Territory of Zhongzhou is indeed closely related to the ancient sky snake.

During the exploration process, Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin reaped a lot of rewards. Not only did they find many rare treasures, but Qinglin also accidentally discovered several ancient rare snake beasts that had long been extinct in the outside world with the unique ability of the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil, and brought them under his command.

However, just as the two went deep into the deepest part of the ruins, the place where the ancient sky snake fell, something unexpected happened. The soul of the sky snake, which was thought to have dissipated long ago, was strangely dormant there.

The defenseless Qing Lin was ambushed by it due to her negligence. The remaining soul of the ancient celestial snake tried to parasitize her and seize this perfect body with the three-flower pupil of the green snake.

But Qinglin is no longer the young girl she used to be. After years of hard training, she has mastered the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils to perfection.

Faced with the invasion of the Sky Serpent's soul, she did not fall into a passive position. Instead, she relied on the mystery of her pupil technique to firmly suppress this force.

Not only that, Qinglin can also skillfully guide this power for his own use, making it a special existence that can enhance his own combat power.

However, the soul of the ancient sky snake is extremely special. Even if Qing Lin temporarily suppresses it with his superb pupil technique, he cannot completely tame it.

She was merely taking advantage of the weak period when the soul did not yet have a physical body and using the power of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils to forcibly restrain it, but this method of treating the symptoms and not the root cause was not a long-term solution.

It was for this reason that she discussed with Little Medical Immortal and planned to ask Xiao Ling or Yao Chen for help after returning to Xingyun Pavilion.

Although with Qinglin's qualifications, as his cultivation improves, he can slowly refine this power.

However, doing so will not only take a long time, but also require a lot of energy, and if you are not careful, unexpected situations may occur.

In comparison, using Xiao Ling and Yao Chen's methods to completely eradicate hidden dangers is undoubtedly a safer choice.

After all, with their strength, dealing with such problems is just a piece of cake, and there is naturally no reason for them to face such risks alone.

After the discussion was complete, Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin looked at each other tacitly and did not linger any longer.

During this exploration, they have collected all the rare treasures in the ruins. In addition, Qinglin is still suppressing the unstable soul of the ancient sky snake, so it is obviously not advisable to stay here for long.

The two figures turned into two streams of light, one purple and one green, and rushed away along the path they came from like an arrow. The ancient forbidden runes along the way dimmed under the impact of their fierce fighting spirit, leaving only a trail of afterimages.

In just a moment, two streams of light broke through the numerous barriers deep in the ruins, and swept through the mottled stone door at the entrance with a whistling wind.

When the halo dissipated, Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin had already landed steadily on the beast wasteland outside the ruins. The miasma that filled the air and the roars of monsters coming from afar created a thrilling atmosphere around them.

The miasma of the beast realm spread like an inky veil. The roars of high-level monsters could be heard in the distance, shaking the ground beneath their feet.

The ground covered with rotten leaves was glowing with an eerie glow, and the poison sacs hanging between the vines would burst from time to time, splashing out corrosive mucus.

But Qinglin and Xiao Yixian turned a blind eye to this. They stood side by side. Qinglin's fighting spirit formed an invisible barrier that isolated all the poisonous gases around her. Xiao Yixian, who was in a poisonous body, naturally didn't care about the poisonous gases at all. Instead, she felt a little refreshed with every breath.

It is this harsh environment that has become the best natural barrier for the ancient sky snake ruins.

The seventh- and eighth-level monsters lurking around are like loyal guards, and the layers of miasma and space turbulence are like natural restrictions, which discourage countless adventurers.

Even if a lucky person finds the entrance, he or she will often be trapped in numerous dangers. It is difficult for them to even reach the main door of the ruins, let alone explore the precious treasures within the ruins.

However, to the two of them, these dangers that terrified others were just small episodes along the way. The harsh environments and dangerous monsters that seemed very harsh to other adventurers had no effect on them at all.

Especially the Little Medical Fairy, her battle qi cultivation is now hovering at the threshold of half-step to half-saint. Looking across the entire Zhongzhou, few people can match this level of cultivation, except for those veteran strong men who have lived in seclusion for many years.

As Qinglin's green eyes suddenly emitted a bewitching light, the green snake's three-flower pupil spun rapidly, and ripples appeared in the void.

A dark crack was torn apart with a loud bang, and the huge body of the eighth-level Nine Nether Earth Python poked out from it. Its scales glowed with a cold metallic light, and a ferocious light flashed in its snake pupils.

It hovered in mid-air, and its powerful pressure pressed down like a substance. Many magical beasts around it whose strength had not reached the eighth level fell to the ground and roared. Even the miasma in the surrounding air was stirred up by this breath.

Although using the Nine Nether Earth Python to travel will attract some attention, it will rarely cause any trouble, because everyone knows that the Nine Nether Earth Python is one of the three major tribes in the world of Warcraft and is very powerful. Generally speaking, no one will easily provoke them unless there are special circumstances.

The Little Medical Fairy tapped her toes lightly, and together with Qinglin, she landed steadily on the broad back of the Dark Python.

As Qinglin's fingertips lightly touched the python's head, the Nine Netherworld Python let out a deafening roar towards the sky, and its body shot out like an arrow, dragging a dazzling light behind it. In the blink of an eye, it tore through the clouds and rushed towards the direction of Xingyun Pavilion.

Under the vast sky, the slender figure gradually turned into a black dot and gradually disappeared, leaving only the whistling sound of the wind, echoing in the sky above the beast domain for a long time.

……

Before setting out from Xingyun Pavilion to Huazong, Xiao Ling and Mu Qingluan took advantage of the time between journeys to visit some of the special areas along the way.

On this return trip, the two were eager to go home and did not stay any longer.

The Sky Splitter raised its head and roared, turning into a silver light that streaked across the sky. With the amazing speed of this high-level magical beast, in just a few days, it carried the two of them across thousands of mountains and rivers and returned to the Tianxing Mountains in the southern region of Zhongzhou.

The familiar clouds and mists lingered among the green mountains. Mu Qingluan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. After all the traveling, she finally returned to this familiar world.

Rayquaza hovered majestically in the void outside the starry sky, its huge body blocking out the sky and the sun.

After Xiao Ling and Mu Qingluan landed safely, it raised its head and let out a long, earth-shaking cry, stirring up gusts of wind, as if saying goodbye to the two.

Afterwards, the overlord of the Tianxing Mountains did not stop, and shot out like an arrow, disappearing into the depths of the mountains in the blink of an eye.

During this period of time, Xiao Ling had been traveling around everywhere, and even with his strong physique, he could not help but feel tired. Now that he was back in his familiar territory, he naturally wanted to find a place to relax and rest, train his subordinates, and enjoy his own leisure time.

Looking at the agile figure of Rayquaza turning into a black light in the sky, Xiao Ling raised a smile at the corner of his lips, and did not linger any longer, and withdrew his gaze.

Immediately, dark blue runes rose from Xiao Ling's palm, and the moment his fingertips passed through the void, ripples appeared in the space like a mirror.

A silver channel slowly unfolded, emitting mysterious spatial fluctuations.

When the silver space channel was completely formed and the flowing runes outlined mysterious patterns, Xiao Ling did not hesitate at all. He leaped up like an arrow, his clothes fluttering in the strong wind. In an instant, he was immersed in the flashing light of the channel, leaving behind a fleeting afterimage.

Mu Qingluan followed closely behind, her hair was picked up by the power in the passage, and she and Xiao Ling turned into streams of light and disappeared into it.

As the figures of the two people completely disappeared, the space channel suddenly shrank and dissipated into the air like the receding tide.

The silver light that was flickering just now was completely annihilated, leaving only a few leaves that were blown away by the aftermath of the energy slowly drifting down, silently telling of the spatial anomaly that had occurred here.

……

The moment I stepped into the Xingyun Pavilion, the unique buzzing sound of the space channel still lingered in my ears.

Xiao Ling raised his hand to signal the disciples on duty at the passage to skip the formalities. Without stopping for a moment, he and Mu Qingluan turned into two streams of light that streaked across the sky.

The fighting spirit of the two men surged, leaving a brilliant trail among the clouds as they headed straight towards the main hall.

At this moment, in the main hall, Yao Chen and Feng Xian were sitting opposite each other, drinking and chatting leisurely.

Noticing the sound of breaking air getting closer, the two men smiled at each other, their eyes seemed to penetrate the space, waiting for the arrival of the two familiar figures.

With a creaky sound, the main hall door slowly opened, and Xiao Ling and Mu Qingluan stepped in side by side.

The hall was filled with the scent of agarwood, and two smiling eyes were already meeting the figures at the door of the hall.

Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly, and the heavy palace door slammed shut, isolating the noise from the outside world.

He raised his hands and clasped his fists, saying loudly: "Master Feng, Master Yao, we are back."

Different from Xiao Ling's calm and steady posture of saluting, Mu Qingluan's eyes were curved and her steps were as brisk as a chirping bird.

She walked around Xiao Ling and ran straight towards Feng Xian who was sitting at the top. Her skirt fluttered and golden bells tinkled in her hair.

When she ran behind Feng Xian, she stretched out her hand and gently supported the old man's shoulder, her voice full of coquettishness: "Master! I haven't seen you for so many days, I miss you so much!"

When Feng Xian heard this, he laughed so loudly that the tables and chairs in the hall made a slight creak.

He patted the back of Mu Qingluan's hand with his backhand, and the corners of his eyes were slightly wrinkled with smile: "Girl, you have become even sweeter after going out! I have seen that you have been in trouble with Xiao Ling, right?"

"Master, it's not like what you said!" Mu Qingluan shook Feng Xian's arm, her nose wrinkled slightly, "I have been very well behaved along the way!"

"Besides, I have my senior brother watching me, so I don't dare to cause trouble..."

On the other side, Yao Chen nodded to Xiao Ling first, then turned his gaze to the laughing and joking Feng Xian master and apprentice, with a teasing smile on his lips: "Tsk tsk, Qingluan girl only has your master in your eyes, so I, your uncle, love you for nothing?"

He shook the teacup in his hand, his eyes reflecting the girl's blushing face, and his tone was full of teasing.

Mu Qingluan immediately released her arms around Feng Xian, and ran to Yao Chen, with silver bells jingling in her hair: "No way! Uncle Yao Chen, you and Master are inseparable in my heart. When I miss Master, I think of you!"

She tilted her head back, with the corners of her eyes curved into crescents, looking extremely adorable.

Yao Chen smiled and shook his head: "You clever little ghost, I'm afraid you are thinking about your uncle refining some more pills for you."

Before he finished speaking, the hall was already filled with laughter. Feng Xian stroked his beard and sighed with laughter. Even Xiao Ling, who was usually casual, couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

After some laughter, the atmosphere in the hall gradually returned to calm.

Yao Chen's eyes fell on Xiao Ling, who had already sat down safely, and he gently tapped the armrest, making a clear sound:
"Your trip to the Hua Sect has caused quite a stir. The news has already spread over the past few days. People in the Xingyun Pavilion are talking about it, and your deeds have been widely spread in the streets and alleys of Zhongzhou."

Xiao Ling leaned back in his chair casually, a slight smile on his lips, and reached out to play with the jade pendant on his waist: "Yue'er should have been the leader of the Hua Sect. This position of leader originally belongs to her, so naturally I have to come forward to help her."

He shook his head slightly, his tone calm and indifferent, "As for showing my strength, there is nothing to hide. Even if those people see me showing some tricks, they can't figure out my real trump card. After all, my tricks now are more than just fighting spirit cultivation."

"Isn't it?" Yao Chen couldn't help but chuckle. "Looking at the entire Zhongzhou, who would have expected that you, who haven't even broken through to the semi-saint level, could fight against a Dou Sheng with just your mental strength?"

His eyes swept across the smile on Xiao Ling's face, and suddenly he chuckled.
"But the most surprising thing is that Han Yue never thought that she could become the leader of Hua Sect one day. It is a great opportunity for the two sisters of the Han family to receive the inheritance of that old woman."

Afterwards, Xiao Ling talked about how the two of them were ambushed by the Soul Palace's Heavenly Master on their way back, but he resolved the issue properly.

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen and Feng Xian both looked a little worried. Now that Soul Palace and Xiao Ling have become mortal enemies, and now that Eighth and Nine Heavenly Lords have been defeated by him, Soul Palace will definitely send out stronger opponents in the future.

But Xiao Ling only said that he had made arrangements and told the two not to worry, but he did not reveal the specific plan.

Seeing that he was confident, Yao Chen and Feng Xian did not ask any more questions. After all, based on their understanding of Xiao Ling, since he dared to say so, he must have a plan to deal with it.

As early as on the way back to Xingyun Pavilion, Xiao Ling found an opportunity to release the four people from the Soul Palace who had been transformed into banner slaves.

He also fabricated a story for the four people, letting them claim that they had escaped by relying on special means. They also deliberately showed weakness and said that their own strength was not to be feared, in order to reduce the Soul Palace's vigilance against themselves.

After everything was arranged, the four returned to the Soul Palace as ordered.

In this way, Xiao Ling also planted more critical spies inside the Soul Palace, which would allow him to obtain more core confidential information from the Soul Palace and make early arrangements to deal with future crises. (End of this chapter)
