Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 648 Be careful, little girl (3k2)

Dan Domain, Holy Pill City.

As the venue for the Dan Conference, Saint Dan City is now undoubtedly the most popular city in the entire Central Continent.

As the most sought-after profession on the continent, alchemists not only provide cultivators with the opportunity to undergo a complete transformation, but also greatly develop the industrial chain of medicinal herbs and magic cores, to the point that they are revered as the 'central hub of the Central Continent'.

The core reason why Danta has been able to hold onto this title is actually only one thing—

money!
The saying goes that money can make the devil turn the millstone. Even those who hold the highest positions in society cannot escape the temptation of money. If they can, it's only because they haven't been paid enough.

Adding money can solve 99% of the problems.

Quite coincidentally, the Pill Tower is the god of wealth for the entire Central Continent. Even a powerful organization like the Soul Palace would find it difficult to compete with it in terms of financial resources.

It is precisely because of this that the Pill Tower has attracted countless forces to rely on it, forming a powerful force that even the Soul Palace fears.

On the outskirts of Saint Dan City, in a secluded courtyard, a white-haired girl stood quietly by the window, watching the hurried crowds passing by outside.

After a moment, she raised her hand, lifted the window screen, turned around, and said with a playful look in her eyes:

"Having been in a high position for so long, how does it feel to occasionally come down to earth and see the world?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled and said with a bitter smile:
"Miss, please don't make things difficult for this old servant. Your standards are so high, how can we servants compare?"

"okay."

Raising her hand to interrupt the other party's flattery, Hun Ruoruo's gaze turned slightly cold as she said calmly:

"Mo Yu, you should know why I chose you. Flattery has no value to me."

".yes."

The demonic rain fell silent, as if chilled to the bone.

Seeing that Hun Ruoruo's gaze was growing colder, his expression changed. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"To be honest, what you said about 'financial resources' and 'foundation' earlier is indeed impressive, but in my opinion, the reason why Danta did this is simply because of its lack of strength."

"Forgive my bluntness, but in the face of absolute power, these are nothing but unorthodox methods, utterly insignificant!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Yu felt a little uneasy, but she still forced herself to look at Hun Ruoruo.

Although the Soul Palace and the Pill Tower are equally renowned forces, in his eyes, these groups of alchemists, no matter how powerful they are, are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter, and can't cause any trouble at all.

As members of the Soul Hall who prey on alchemists, why should they be wary of alchemists? What kind of logic is that?

However, to Mo Yu's surprise, after hearing her rebuttal, Hun Ruoruo not only did not show any annoyance, but instead revealed a charming and alluring smile:

"Does the Soul Palace have the strength to crush the Pill Tower?"

A seemingly casual remark, yet it seemed to contain immense mockery, causing Mo Yu's face to instantly freeze:

"This"

"As a Celestial Venerable of the Sequence, you should know that the purpose of the Soul Palace was to collect all the souls in the world in order to strengthen our family's power. But what about you?"

Hun Ruoruo's smile was faint, her voice ethereal as smoke and dust:
"Not only did they fail to conquer the Pill Tower, but they even had to rely on their own family's strength to hold the fort. Can you call that absolute strength?"

Mo Yu trembled more and more as she listened, sweat pouring down her face. All her arrogance vanished, and her legs gave way, causing her to kneel prostrate before Hun Ruoruo.

He suddenly kowtowed loudly on the ground, and said hoarsely:
"It is because this old servant holds a high position and thinks too highly of himself. I beg Miss to enlighten me!"

"To dismantle a force, it is naturally easiest to do so from the inside out. Even a mere protector knows this perfectly well."

Hun Ruoruo stepped on his head with her long boots, embedding his forehead three inches into the ground, causing blood to spurt out, but she didn't seem to care at all, and chuckled:
"But the Dan Tower is no ordinary force. Its foundation is stronger than imagined. In the past, when Hun Xuzi infiltrated the Dan Tower in disguise, even though he successfully assassinated the tower master, he was never able to shake its foundation."

"The only way to control the Pill Tower is to start with their foundation."

"This old servant will obey Miss's orders!"

Mo Yu's body trembled violently, and he screamed with all his might.

Seeing that the other party's attitude was relatively respectful, Hun Ruoruo nodded and didn't make things too difficult for him. She got up and walked towards the door.

"You're a smart person. Let's proceed with the plan as scheduled."

A girl's melodious voice, clear as a babbling brook, rang out, seemingly both approval and warning, before vanishing from the room in an instant, leaving only Mo Yu's trembling body.

"Yes."

He clearly realized that being too clever would only invite the other party's disgust.

In the presence of this almost demonic young lady, all self-righteous cleverness is nothing more than a laughable joke.
With the Alchemy Tournament approaching, the assessments of the five major families have become the pre-competition excitement, attracting the attention of countless people.

As the leaders of the outer regions of Dan Tower, the five major families are extremely powerful. Among them, the Dan and Cao families, which are ranked at the top, have a level of influence that is no less than that of the Ice River Valley, making them local overlords.

At dawn, the crimson plaza surrounding the Dan Tower was filled with a cacophony of voices, a cacophony of noises that surged into the sky, deafeningly loud.

And this is precisely the appeal of the five major families!

Just as countless people filed in, the upper part of the sky suddenly rippled, and a magnificent horse, its body entirely covered in bright silver, shattered the space and appeared in everyone's sight.
"It's actually the Void Pegasus Beast?! Who on earth is this person, to have such a grand entrance?"

"Using the Void Pegasus as a means of transportation is far too arrogant!" The sudden appearance of the snow-white carriage immediately attracted countless gazes from the surrounding area, and then exclamations of surprise rang out from below.

However, just as everyone was stunned, a handsome young man slowly shook his head and said with a faint smile:
"Hehe, for the Dan family, this is nothing special."

The Dan family!

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and the one who had spoken arrogantly earlier turned pale.

The Dan family mentioned by the other party was none other than one of the five great families of the Pill Tower.

Among the five major families, the Dan family is second only to the Cao family in terms of strength and foundation. Its power far exceeds people's imagination.

Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, the handsome young man chuckled, casually took out a folding fan, and commented:

"Although the Cao family is currently at its zenith, in my opinion, the Dan family is not necessarily inferior to it. When the Pill Gathering truly begins, it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious."

Upon hearing this, one of the onlookers mustered his courage and asked curiously:
"May I ask, young master, does the Dan family have anyone who can compare to Cao Ying of the Cao family?"

Upon hearing the name 'Cao Ying', even some alchemists with their arrogant minds couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

Cao Ying of the Cao family.

It is said that he officially became an alchemist at the age of seven, and at the age of fifteen, he was valued by the Pill Tower and became a core disciple of the Pill Tower. When he was twenty, he became the youngest seventh-grade alchemist in the Cao family!
A twenty-year-old seventh-grade alchemist—even throughout the history of the Pill Tower, there are no more than ten who can rival him. Cao Ying's status and position are naturally quite remarkable.

"The Dan family has always kept a low profile, but as far as I know, that vixen from the Cao family had a good relationship with a woman from the Dan family named Dan Chen. The two often got together under the pretext of exchanging alchemy techniques."

A glint flashed in the handsome young man's eyes, but he didn't show too much excitement at the mention of Cao Ying. He slowly said:
"And the youngest alchemist among the five families happens to be named Dan Chen."

"Dan Chen?"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, everyone was taken aback and appeared somewhat bewildered.

"Could this so-called Dan Chen possibly be able to contend with Cao Ying?"

"Absolutely impossible. The Cao family's vixen reached the level of a seventh-grade alchemist at the age of twenty. Dan Chen is even younger than her. If she really has such strength, wouldn't that mean that she is even more talented than Cao Ying?"

Discussions continued among the crowd, but without exception, no one believed that this unknown Dan Chen possessed enough talent in alchemy to rival Cao Ying's.

Just as the commotion was getting more and more intense, a girl in a white robe on the outskirts of the crowd quietly clenched her fist.

"Dan Chen. Dan Chen is not lagging behind Cao Ying at all!"

A girl's faint, mosquito-like voice rang out, as if she had mustered up her courage, her little face flushed as she shouted.

However, his words were swallowed up by the crowd as soon as they left his mouth, and he disappeared without a trace.

A middle-aged man glanced at her casually, then frowned and scolded her:
"Where did this little brat come from? Get out of here right now! This is where the alchemists live!"

Upon hearing this, the girl's already pale face turned completely bloodless, and she subconsciously took a step back. Then, she felt her back bump into an incredibly soft body.

"ah!"

A soft gasp escaped her lips, and the girl staggered, about to fall to the ground, when she discovered that the person she had bumped into had kindly reached out a hand and quickly reached out to her.

"do not want!"

Seeing that the other person was trying to touch her body, the girl quickly stopped him.

However, she was noticeably a beat late in speaking.

Before the girl could react, that slender, jade-like hand had already quietly grabbed her arm.

"Om-"

In an instant, the girl's brow lit up, and a powerful suction force burst forth, uncontrollably absorbing the other's soul power.

A massive amount of soul power was absorbed into her body, but instead of feeling happy, the girl looked at him anxiously:

"Are you okay?"

The shadowy figure did not respond. It reached out and pulled the girl's falling body to a safe stop. She then slowly raised her head, revealing her face that had been hidden by the shadow.

In the shadows, the woman's graceful body was completely wrapped in a black robe, with strands of silver hair hanging down from the brim of her hat, as beautiful as the finest silk.

Her eyes held a smile, yet seemed to contain an endless starry night; a single glance was enough to captivate the soul.

"you--"

The girl stood there, stunned, her gaze fixed for a long time, almost suffocating.

No one in her life had ever given her such feelings.

The only word to describe the other person's eyes, body, and even soul is 'terrifying'.

"Be careful, little girl."

Hun Ruoruo smiled, but her eyes held an unreadable, predatory joy.

I'm still recovering from a fever, so the update will be a little late. But the word count won't be lowered, so please don't worry, dear readers.
