Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

How can I not be happy?

As for Qing Yanjing and the other girls, they didn't think that much; they were simply happy that Zhang Yuan had benefited.

"In obtaining this semi-saint inheritance, I also received a memory about the Northwest Continent and a formation called the Fire Vein Array," Zhang Yuan continued.

He will reveal some of the information he obtained from the memories of the Soul Annihilation.

The matter of the Xuanhuang Saint, Xiao Yun, and the Xiao Clan was not mentioned, so it's meaningless.

It is said that the Xuanhuang Saint and Hun Mieyan perished together, and there is still the lost treasure trove of the Xuanhuang Sect and a fire vein array in the Northwest Continent.

"Once I'm familiar with the spirit arrays, I can find and manage these large arrays for you, and even reactivate and reconnect them all," Qing Yanjing said happily.

She was happy to cook for Zhang Yuan, and he often said nice things to her.

But if she can help more people and realize her own life's value, she will be even happier.

"That's exactly what I meant," Zhang Yuan said frankly. "Sister Jing, you really need to study spirit arrays properly."

"Your cultivation should be left to its natural course; there's no need to deliberately cultivate it. We'll talk about it when I become stronger."

"But if you have time, you can learn spirit arrays. Perhaps soon you can set up a spirit array that can deal with Dou Huang and Dou Zong. So you can improve your strength quickly if you want."

"The Fire Vein Array cannot be rushed. I imagine you'll need to reach at least level three, or level five, before you can attempt to master it."

"Once you've mastered it, I can also learn from you."

"."

Zhang Yuan explained his idea, and Qing Yanjing nodded repeatedly.

A harmonious atmosphere prevailed within and outside the boundary.

Meanwhile, the southwest of the Northwest Continent suddenly became eerily quiet.

As time went on, the details of the battle on the floating mountain of Yunlan Mountain were fully revealed.

The neighboring empires of the Gama Empire, namely the Luoyan Empire, the Chuyun Empire, and the Mulan Empire, all received the news immediately.

In the southern part of the Luoyan Empire lies the Golden Goose Mountain Range, a portion of which was once under the rule of the Yunlan Sect. It is the habitat of the Purple Cloud Eagle, a unique magical beast of the Jiama Empire.

However, this place is now completely occupied by the Golden Goose Sect, with three steep, thousand-foot-high peaks forming a triangular formation, which is where the main hall of the Golden Goose Sect is located.

At this moment, Yan Luotian, who had just dealt with the invading enemy on the northern border of the empire, sat in the high position of sect leader, looking at the intelligence in his hand with a solemn expression.

"Elder, are you sure this information is correct?"

Leaving aside the suddenly appearing Soul Palace and Nine Abyss Mansion, the breakthroughs of Yunshan, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon, and the Snake-Man woman Medusa are all major events.

"Sect Master, the intelligence is absolutely correct."

An old man with a hunched back but extremely sharp eyes spoke up: "In the battle at Floating Mountain of Yunlan Sect, neither Yunlan Sect nor Jia Ma Royal Family ordered the information to be blocked, but rather it was widely publicized."

"The Grand Elder of Yunlan Sect secretly deceived Pill King Guhe by saying that Yun Yun was willing to get married, and asked Guhe to invite his relatives and friends to propose marriage. Guhe was in seclusion at that time, and his disciple, in order to please his master, took it upon himself to send invitations to Guhe's friends."

"Some people gave Guhe face, while others gave Yunlan Sect face. Almost all the prominent figures in the Jia Ma Empire were in the hands of Fukong Mountain that day and witnessed the twists and turns that followed."

"It can be confirmed that Yunshan has broken through to the Dou Zong level, and it was with the help of the Soul Palace. However, the Soul Palace had ulterior motives and secretly wanted to control Yunshan. As a result, Yunyun joined the Nine Abyss Prefecture and eliminated the hidden danger for Yunshan. Therefore, Yunlan Sect declared itself affiliated with the Nine Abyss Prefecture."

"According to our intelligence, Queen Medusa and the Nether Sea Dragon Beast both achieved their breakthroughs with the help of the Nine Abyss Palace and have also joined the Nine Abyss Palace."

"Although Zhang Yuan, the head of the Nine Abyss Prefecture, is only a two-star Dou Wang, he has the strength to defeat a peak Dou Huang in a head-on battle. He can also temporarily reach the peak Dou Zong level by using some means, and use Earth-rank Dou techniques to suppress three Dou Zongs from the Soul Hall, one of whom is a peak Dou Zong."

"There are at least five Dou Zong in this Nine Abyss Prefecture, and one of them is a peak Dou Zong."

"."

News about the Gama Empire, except for information related to weaponry, has spread far and wide.

All factions within the Gama Empire coveted the effects of the weapon, and all tacitly chose to conceal it, not wanting to increase their opponents.

“Yunshan is really lucky.” Yan Luotian said coldly, “Back then, I was on the verge of breaking through, and I felt young, so I wanted to find an opportunity to break through by fighting a life-or-death battle, and I did succeed.”

"That old fellow was more seriously injured than me and should have perished, but he actually received support from the Soul Palace."

"The Soul Palace is not a good person. They schemed against Yunshan, but in doing so, they gave Yunyun an opportunity to resolve the situation."

"."

Yan Luotian really didn't know how to describe Yunshan's luck.

If either the Soul Palace or the Nine Abyss Palace were to be missing, he would either perish or be reduced to a dog.

As a result, he has not only successfully broken through to the Dou Zong level, but has also gotten involved with the mysterious Jiuyuan Mansion.

"So, do you think we should try to make contact with the Nine Abyss Palace?" Yan Luotian asked.

The elders looked at each other without speaking.

And by doing so, they have already made their stance clear.

After all, the strength of the Nine Abyss Prefecture is undeniable. Even now, the Jia Ma Empire is not something that the Luo Yan Empire can contend with. Are we really going to declare war?

As for seeking peace, that would require the Gama Empire to be willing.

Given the relationship between the Yunlan Sect and the Jinyan Sect, peace is absolutely impossible!

"Hmph!" The thought that there might be a prefecture lord above him made Yan Luotian feel displeased, but he was not stupid and had reason, so he said, "Elder, you should find a way to contact the Nine Abyss Prefecture and express our intentions."

The intelligence coming from the Jia Ma Empire also included some of the rules of the Nine Abyss Prefecture.

For example, it will not interfere in the autonomous internal affairs of its subordinate forces, and if there are conflicts between subordinate forces, it will provide a fair environment for them to fight, which is equivalent to acting as a referee.

This is also why the Golden Goose Sect did not immediately become hostile, but instead wanted to curry favor with them.

If they join the Nine Abyss Palace, they will have a path to advancement.

At the same time, both the Jia Ma Empire and the Yunlan Sect will have to fight against them within the rules.

We can't be foolish enough to declare war on a force with at least five Dou Zong masters, can we?

Moreover, the Lord of the Mansion can suppress a peak Dou Zong with a single finger.

What does it matter if he falls from the sky like a wild goose?

Similar discussions also took place between the Wanxie Sect of the Izumo Empire and the Mulan Valley of the Mulan Empire.

However, the decisions of these two forces were completely opposite to those of the Golden Goose Sect.

"Unexpectedly, Medusa actually broke through to the seventh rank, and she even led the snake people to join the Nine Abyss Palace, which was guarded by a peak Dou Zong."

Inside Mulan Valley, the three elders of Mulan sat together to discuss countermeasures.

There's really nothing to discuss. Given the relationship between the Mulan Empire and the Snake-People, the latter's strength has surged, and with the Nine Abyss Prefecture as its backer, they're bound to launch a full-scale counterattack to reclaim their ancestral land.

During this time, their subordinates also discovered that large numbers of snake-people warriors were gathering on the western border, confirming their suspicions.

As for the path of becoming an annex to Jiuyuan Prefecture, they cannot take it, because the Zhang family, from which Zhang Yuan, the governor of Jiuyuan Prefecture, once came, also had a feud with the Mulan Empire.

Furthermore, the Mulan Empire had long been affiliated with a second-rate power on the Northwest Continent called the Beast Barbarian Sect. The Three Elders of Mulan cultivated the Earth-rank intermediate-level technique, the Three Beasts Savage Technique, which was one of the sect's signature techniques.

"The Nine Abyss Palace has suddenly appeared, and the Beast Barbarian Sect will be able to hold it back. Let's prepare for a great battle!"

Meanwhile, within the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect of the Izumo Empire, a sinister glint appeared in the eyes of the Supreme Elder, Scorpion Bi Yan.

"It seems I need to make a trip to the Soul Palace branch."

The Izumo Empire and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect are blood enemies of the Gama Empire, as are the Xiao family, who are related to Zhang Yuan by marriage.

Since it's a fight to the death, and we're no match for each other, we should just do what we're told.

Xie Biyan immediately took action.

Three days later, he floated through the air and arrived at a mountain range shrouded in black mist.

Sensing the terrifying and eerie aura emanating from the mountains, Xie Biyan lowered his posture and was about to speak.

At this moment, a figure shrouded in black mist suddenly appeared and asked, "Heh heh, who are you, and what brings you here?"

Sensing the oppressive aura emanating from the other party, as well as the fluctuations of the late-stage Dou Zong aura, Xie Biyan was slightly startled and said, "I am Xie Biyan, greetings to the Protector of the Soul Palace."

"Xie Biyan? The Supreme Elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect of the Izumo Empire?" The figure in the black mist's eyes flickered slightly.

"This guy came to the Soul Hall, could it be that he wants to join forces with the Soul Hall to deal with me?"

"I really came at the right time."

Chapter 161 Zhang Yuan: The Soul Palace is nice, it feels like home.

"It's hard to say about the Golden Goose Sect of the Falling Goose Empire. Although it has some disagreements with the Cloud Mist Sect, they are not to the point of being irreconcilable. It has not sided with any power, so it may want to side with me."

"But the Mulan Empire and the Snake People have an irreconcilable relationship. The decline of my Zhang family back then was also related to the Mulan Empire. It is backed by a top-tier second-rate power, so it will definitely not side with me."

"The Izumo Empire and the Gama Empire are sworn enemies. My maternal grandfather Xiao Lin's death was also related to the Izumo Empire. The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect is an accomplice of the Izumo Empire. There is no way we can submit to them; we will definitely fight them."

"Xie Biyan's appearance at the Soul Hall's branch in the Northwest Continent at this time must be because he has heard about the Yunlan Sect and wants to cooperate with the Soul Hall."

On a mountaintop on the eastern border of the Gama Empire, Zhang Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the landscape.

He just thought about it casually and guessed what Xie Biyan was going to do at the Soul Palace branch—he must be looking for help to deal with the Nine Abyss Mansion.

He was determined to destroy the Izumo Empire and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, whether for his maternal clan, the Xiao family, or to help Little Fairy Doctor become stronger quickly. However, he didn't want to confront the Soul Palace so soon.

Why play like a barbarian? Isn't it better to farm safely, dominate the game, and win?

"Hehehe, I've heard of your name."

Zhang Yuan re-entered meditation and visualized the Thunder God Diagram. Controlling the Eagle Protector's body from a thousand miles away, he chuckled strangely, "The Supreme Elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect of the Izumo Empire, with the strength of a three-star Dou Zong, is not bad in this Northwest Continent."

Scorpion Bi Yan was supposed to be a peak four-star Dou Zong in about five years, but now he's actually three-star, which surprised Zhang Yuan.

After all, it took several years to improve its strength by just over one star, which is a bit of a waste.

However, the poison in his body could be used to benefit Little Fairy Doctor.

"It is indeed I, the old man. I did not expect that the Dharma Protector has heard of my humble name." Xie Biyan smiled on his aged face, which looked quite ugly.

He had already determined that the person in front of him was a protector of the Soul Palace.

Only those truly born into the Soul Palace can utter that eerie "heh heh" laugh; its unique quality cannot be imitated by ordinary people.

And not far away is the Soul Hall branch, which he learned about by chance. Could there be a Dou Zong who would dare to pretend here?

Zhang Yuan chuckled strangely, "Heh heh, Scorpion Bi Yan, why aren't you staying at the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect? What are you doing here at my Soul Palace?"

Xie Biyan thought to himself that the people from the Soul Palace were really direct, and immediately replied, "I came here to tell the Soul Palace some news. I wonder if the Protector has heard of the Jia Ma Empire?"
