Chapter 283 Soul Palace Protector
Looking down at Nalan Yanran, who was in a daze, Yun Yun sighed and gracefully landed beside her, embracing the distraught disciple.

The familiar fragrance filled the air, and Nalan Yanran snapped out of her daze. Her beautiful eyes instantly turned red, and she couldn't help but bury herself in her master's arms, calling out in a wronged tone:
"Master~"

"..."

Yun Yun sighed, gently patted her shoulder, and said dejectedly, "I'm sorry I'm late."

She was indeed too late. If she had returned to the sect earlier, she would have discovered sooner that the boy she met in the Monster Mountain Range was Xiao Yan, who had made a three-year pact with Nalan Yanran.

So perhaps today's events will have a better outcome.

At least she knew that Xiao Yan had a terrifyingly powerful figure behind him, so she wouldn't doubt Xiao Yan's strength, and she certainly wouldn't allow Elder Yun Leng to act so arrogantly in front of Xiao Yan.

But unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world...

In the sky above the square, Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, and others gathered together, looking down at the master and disciple embracing each other with complicated expressions.

"I never expected this! I was just invited to witness the competition between two juniors, and I actually met the Palace Master of the Divine Firmament Palace and overheard their secrets with the Soul Palace..."

Jia Xingtian sighed, "From this day forward, the entire Northwest Region of the Dou Qi Continent is likely to undergo a dramatic change!"

Fama glanced at him and whispered, "What are the royal family's plans...? Should we prepare early?"

After a moment of contemplation, Jia Xingtian slowly said, "Preparations are definitely necessary. At the very least, we need to build a good relationship with Xiao Yan and the Xiao family. As for the feud between the Divine Firmament Palace and the Soul Palace, to put it bluntly, we are not qualified to interfere."

"Then remain neutral?"

"no!"

Jia Xingtian shook his head and said, "The Soul Palace is in the Central Continent, which is far away from us, but the Divine Firmament Palace is in the Mulan Empire. It can send out powerful experts at any time to destroy the entire Jia Ma Empire."

"Therefore, I believe that even if one wants to remain neutral in action, one should still maintain good relations with the Divine Firmament Palace on the surface."

In addition, the expansion of the Divine Firmament Palace also brings them many hidden benefits.

First and foremost is the Yunlan Sect. After today's events, its future decline is almost a foregone conclusion.

Not to mention that they lost a former sect leader at the Dou Zong level, their actions of alienating the Shenxiao Palace alone are enough to influence the choices of all the young people in the entire empire, making it difficult for them to absorb fresh blood.

Such a thing was naturally something that Jia Xingtian and his group were happy to see.

As a behemoth within the Jia Ma Empire, the existence of the Yunlan Sect has long influenced the rule of the imperial family, and has even become the de facto ruler of the Jia Ma Empire.

Even Jia Xingtian, the guardian of the royal family, had to personally lead a group to witness the event for the two juniors after receiving an invitation from the Yunlan Sect.

That's why, when Lin Yu threatened the Yunlan Sect, they immediately expressed their stance to Lin Yu, eagerly trying to distance themselves from the Yunlan Sect's camp...

Of course, even if the Yunlan Sect declines in the future, there will still be a Shenxiao Palace above the heads of the major empires.

However, the Divine Firmament Palace is clearly different from the Cloud Mist Sect. Their strength is far greater, so much so that they are several levels ahead, making it impossible for anyone to even think of challenging them.

Moreover, judging from their style of doing things, they are unlikely to interfere in worldly affairs.

Don't you see the royal family of the neighboring Mulan Empire? They're still alive and well, aren't they?

For all these reasons, Jia Xingtian and the others did not actually resist the power of the Divine Firmament Palace...

Thinking of this, the group exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly, and tacitly refrained from speaking out.

……

……

Meanwhile, in the distant sky, Yun Ye glanced at Yunlan Mountain at the edge of his vision and said in a low voice, "Isn't it a bit too early to openly oppose the Soul Palace now?"

"With the current strength of the Divine Firmament Palace, it is still unable to contend with the Soul Palace, right?"

"Don't worry!" Su Haoming laughed, "With your older brother here, of course we can manage!"

"Moreover, this is the Northwest Region of the Dou Qi Continent. The Soul Palace's foundation is in the Central Continent, and the Northwest Region has few people. At most, there are some Dou Zong-level protectors, so there is nothing to fear!"

"Speaking of Dharma protectors..."

Yun Ye turned his head and looked at Lin Yu curiously, "Isn't there Protector Wu by Yun Shan's side? Where is he?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "I just checked, he is not at Yunlan Mountain today."

"Really?" Su Haoming smacked his lips. "He's lucky!"

"Something's wrong!"

Yun Ye frowned and said in a low voice, "I remember that this guy had his eye on the Xiao family a long time ago. In the original story, he took advantage of Yun Leng leading people to attack the Xiao family to kidnap Xiao Yan's father."

"He's not at Yunlan Mountain right now, could he be taking this opportunity to attack the Xiao family?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan and Lin Yu exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, Brother Ye!" Xiao Yan chuckled, "Brother Lin and I have already made arrangements!"

"Oh?"

Yun Ye's expression shifted slightly, and he said thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, I don't think I saw Xiao Zi this time I came!"

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that Lin Yu next to him frowned, his expression gradually turning cold.

His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Brother Lin?"

"...I overestimated the combat strength of the Divine Firmament Palace's Dou Zong Elder!"

Lin Yu sighed and said with considerable dissatisfaction, "These old guys were originally promoted by me using pills, but after their advancement, they still became obsessed with cultivation and neglected combat."

"Dealing with weaker Dou Huangs is manageable, but once they encounter a powerhouse of the same level, they start to show their true colors!"

"We're outnumbered and we can't even win, yet they still have the nerve to ask me for help..."

At this point, Lin Yu gritted his teeth, his expression one of utter disappointment. "Looks like I'll have to give them a good dressing down after today!"

"..."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Yan and the other group members exchanged glances, their hearts sinking.

"Did the Xiao family really encounter an attack from the Soul Hall?"

Lin Yu nodded and said, "We encountered them, and there were quite a few enemies."

Su Haoming quickly said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and provide support!"

"go!"

Lin Yu didn't say much. He immediately waved his hand, and streams of spatial power instantly spread out, engulfing all the figures of the group members.

……

……

On the other side, about fifty miles outside Wutan City, about twenty figures collided repeatedly in the sky, creating visible energy ripples.

Looking down from above, there are eight powerful figures fighting high in the sky.

Judging from their auras alone, each of them possesses strength at or above the Dou Zong level.

The eight Dou Zong experts were divided into two groups. One group consisted of five elderly men with slightly weaker auras. Judging from their silver robes and lightning patterns, they were clearly silver-robed elders belonging to the Shenxiao Palace.

Opposite the five silver-robed elders were three Dou Zong powerhouses whose auras were clearly much stronger.

One of them had an old face and cloudy eyes. He was dressed in coarse cloth and held a black cane with a hideous scorpion head at the end of it, which shimmered with a faint purple light.

As for the other two, their aura and attire were extremely similar. Both were draped in black robes, with thick black mist rising from their bodies, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.

This appearance is undoubtedly that of a protector of the Soul Palace!
Meanwhile, the two Soul Hall protectors were working together with the old man with the cane to deal with the five silver-robed elders at the Dou Zong level.

Below them, Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family who had already advanced to the Dou Ling realm, was wearing a suit of power armor and, together with two other Xiao family elders also wearing power armor, was fighting against more than ten unfamiliar enemies.

Moreover, beside Xiao Zhan was a purple crystal winged lion king with a body length of over eight zhang.

Judging from its aura, this Amethyst Winged Lion King has already surpassed the sixth rank, and is clearly also a Dou Huang.

"boom!"

The booming sounds of colliding energies echoed from the sky.

The Iron Guardian, who came from the Izumo Empire, retreated a hundred meters, gritting his teeth as he transmitted his voice:
“Three one-star Dou Zong, one two-star Dou Zong, one three-star Dou Zong, and this newly-entered sixth-tier magical beast, along with members of the Xiao family wearing strange armor…”

"Is such a display truly something that the mere Gama Empire could produce?!"

Protector Wu waved his hand and unleashed a chilling black claw, repelling the two one-star Dou Zong in front of him. He sneered, "If it weren't for this, why would I have dragged you into this and let you take away the credit I worked so hard for?"

Iron Guardian's expression shifted slightly. He gritted his teeth, waved his hand to release strands of pitch-black chains, and growled, "Wu Ying, this credit had better be as great as you say, otherwise, I'll never forgive you again!"

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Protector Wu let out a strange laugh, and while joining forces with Protector Tie to attack the three-star Dou Zong, he transmitted his voice, "As long as we can capture the Xiao family patriarch for the Soul Hall, it will be a great achievement!"

"boom!"

With a loud bang, blue and black energy waves burst out from the sky.

The three-star Dou Zong elder of the Divine Firmament Palace was sent flying backward, and under the cover of two one-star Dou Zongs, he created distance and looked solemnly at the three Dou Zong powerhouses opposite him.

Judging from the sheer scale of the formation, the reinforcements sent by the Divine Firmament Palace were undeniably powerful.

Five low-star Dou Zongs, placed in the northwest region of the Dou Qi Continent, would be enough to suppress the major empires.

Unfortunately, the opposing Protector Wu seemed to have made preparations in advance. He not only summoned another Soul Palace Protector in advance, but also brought along the local sect that the other side had won over, namely the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect of the neighboring Izumo Empire, as an ally.

As a result, the Soul Palace's strength surged to the level of three Dou Zong, each of whom was stronger than them.

Especially the last Dou Zong, the five Shenxiao Palace elders who originally belonged to Mulan Valley all recognized him. He was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Wanxie Sect of the neighboring Chuyun Empire, Xie Biyan.

This person gained fame at a young age and fought against the Douhuang powerhouses of various empires.

Now that he has advanced to the Dou Zong level, his poison skills have become even more troublesome.

Even they risked their lives if they were not careful!

Thinking of this, the leading three-star Dou Zong elder gritted his teeth and whispered, "If all else fails, we'll have to use the spatial jade slip to ask the Palace Master for help!"

"Should we ask the Palace Master for help?"

The silver-robed elder, a two-star Dou Zong, hesitated and transmitted his voice, saying, "They are only three four-star Dou Zongs. The five of us working together are enough to contend with them. Why bother the Palace Master?"

"madness!"

The elder of the Three-Star Dou Zong glared at him and said coldly, "Is face more important, or the mission?"

"The problem now is not defeating our opponents, but how to protect Lord Xiao Yan's father from these people!"

"Can't you see that these three guys are desperately trying to stop us so that the Dou Huang and Dou Wang they brought can capture Clan Chief Xiao alive!"

Upon hearing this, the other four elders exchanged bewildered glances.

The two-star Dou Zong elder couldn't help but sigh, "If I had known, I would have brought some Dou Huang-level elders to help..."

Another silver-robed elder shook his head and said, "What's the use of saying all this now, Senior Brother Ye? Let's quickly ask for help!"
