Breaking the Masked Man

Both Yao Lao and Cai Lin were astonished, clearly not expecting the puppet before them to possess such combat power.

Venerable Heavenly Fire was quite surprised upon hearing this, saying, "The power of the Pill Lightning can make the puppet evolve so rapidly?!"

"Hmm." Yao Yan nodded, then chuckled and said, "I discovered it by chance. I originally just intended to use it as a shield, to throw it into the sky to block the pill lightning, but I never expected such a pleasant surprise!"

"This is your luck~" Venerable Tianhuo shook his head and muttered. Some people are always so unreasonable, as if opportunities are just stuffed into their mouths.

"Can it be mass-produced?"

Cai Lin's eyes gleamed slightly as she asked a question.

Yao Yan shook his head and said, "The body and soul are easy to deal with, but the seventh-order magic core is a bit troublesome. These things are not common in the Black Corner Region... Perhaps we can consider it when we go to the Central Continent in the future."

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin stopped asking questions. A seventh-order magic core is not something that can be seen in ordinary times. It is a core that only a seventh-order magic beast can condense. Seventh-order magic beasts are almost no different from humans. These magic beasts rarely keep their magic core intact. Most of them will choose to self-destruct their magic core when they encounter a life-or-death crisis.

Unless you have the ability to instantly kill a seventh-tier magical beast, it is extremely difficult to extract a seventh-tier magical core intact.

However, if one possesses such power, the puppet's role would obviously be minimal.

"You can think about these things yourself. As for the bodies of us two old folks... we have a target right now: Mo Tianxing, the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect. He hasn't been cultivating for long, yet he was able to become a Dou Zong in just a few decades. His talent is not weak, and he can be used as a vessel for our resurrection."

The old master then shifted the topic to the matter of resurrection. Yao Yan now possesses three different flames and his alchemy rank has reached the high level of the seventh grade, which is enough to resurrect them.

"Don't you want to wait any longer?" Yao Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, and frowned slightly before speaking.

"To truly establish yourself in Zhongzhou, you must reach the Dou Zun level. Moreover, you now possess multiple different flames. If I'm not mistaken, you should have already refined the remains of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan into a flying fighting technique... Once this gets out, you will inevitably become the target of everyone's attacks!"

The old apothecary's eyes showed a solemn expression, and he spoke in a deep voice.

In other words, he didn't think that Yao Yan's current strength was enough to protect what was inside his body. Whether it was the four different flames or the remains of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, they were enough to cause Yao Yan a huge problem.

Yao Yan might not be afraid of a Dou Zong, but a Dou Zun is a different story... That level is definitely not something Yao Yan can challenge now.

As for the Heavenly Demon Puppet, this thing is no different from a toy to a Dou Zun. No matter how tough it is, it will only take a little time to dismantle it. It is impossible for it to protect Yao Yan.

Cai Lin's eyes flickered slightly. Instinctively, she wanted to persuade Yao Yan to go into seclusion for a while longer, but looking at Yao Yan's calm gaze, she remembered Yao Yan's hidden thoughts... It was impossible for the other party to listen to her. Yao Yan's pursuit of strength surpassed everything else.

Cai Lin understood this very well. She wasn't as love-struck as Cai Die. Although she hadn't had many in-depth conversations with Yao Yan, it was enough for her to understand him.

However, on this point alone, Cai Lin has no aversion to it at all.

As Yao Lao said, without strength, how could Yao Yan protect these things?

Yao Yan's face didn't show much solemnity. After pondering for a moment, he came up with a plan and said, "Then let's first use Mo Tianxing's body to revive Venerable Tianhuo. His strength in life was only at the five-star Dou Zun level, so we can quickly restore him using pills... As for you, let's wait for now. You were a peak nine-turn Dou Zun expert in life. If possible, why not try to break through to Dou Sheng? If we can, we can roam freely in Zhongzhou!"

"Battle Saint... I have absolutely no confidence." Yao Lao smiled bitterly. Breaking through to the Battle Saint level is extremely difficult. No matter how talented you are, you have to shake your head helplessly.

"I agree with him. In my previous life, I was only at the five-star Dou Zun level. If I can recover to the Dou Zun level, I will be satisfied. Since you have the opportunity, you might as well wait a little longer. Maybe you can find a more suitable body in the future." Venerable Tianhuo was quite open-minded, and he also agreed with Yao Yan's words. If Elder Yao could really take this opportunity to break through to Dou Sheng, then he could also take off with him.

Even in his era, Dou Sheng were extremely rare and mysterious; they were practically never seen.

Having a Dou Sheng as your backer makes a completely different feeling.

"Alright, then I'll go and bring Mo Tianxing's body back later. Let's do it while it's still hot... I've already refined the pills." Yao Yan smiled slightly and said softly.

He was a man of action. In fact, even if Yao Lao and Tian Huo Zun Zhe hadn't said anything, he was already planning to revive them. The Central Continent was different from the Black Corner Region and other places. In those places, Dou Zong was as worthless as a dog, and Dou Zun were everywhere. Without a Dou Zun by your side, it was indeed easy to get into trouble.

As for seeking help from the Soul Hall... Yao Yan doesn't want to be blacklisted yet. If he gets involved with the Soul Hall, he probably won't even be able to enter the Pill Tower, and might even become a bounty on the Pill Tower's list.

If they really want to obtain the Three Thousand Burning Flames, they'll probably have to resort to outright robbery.

The strength of the Tower of Kedan is truly not just talk. They can pull some tricks in secret, but to take it head-on... if they're not careful, it could really turn into a war in the Central Plains.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

“I’ll go with you,” Cai Lin said.

"I am coming too!"

Zi Yan said with bright, sparkling eyes, her chubby little fists clenched tightly as she excitedly waved them twice.

"Cai Lin, you stay here and keep an eye on these two disobedient old men." Yao Yan reached out and tapped Zi Yan's head, teasing her. Then, to Cai Lin's astonishment, she wrapped her arms around her slender waist, her back covered in bluish-red wings, and in the next moment, she disappeared from the spot.

In an instant, he appeared hundreds of meters away as if by teleportation. After a few flashes, he disappeared from the sight of Elder Yao and Venerable Tianhuo, making Ziyan stomp her feet in anger.

"This speed..." The old apothecary froze as he stroked his white beard, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"The Heavenly Phoenix Clan truly lives up to its reputation as the overlord of the magical beast realm. The flying combat techniques they create with their wings are indeed formidable. If only I had secretly crafted one back then, I wouldn't be in this predicament..." Venerable Heavenly Fire muttered to himself, a hint of regret in his eyes.

If he had such powerful flying combat skills back then, he wouldn't have been ganged up on and killed by a group of lizard monsters.

"The Phoenix Clan has always acted domineeringly, and we don't know how to handle this matter yet."

A hint of worry returned to the old doctor's eyes as he spoke slowly.

"Then it depends on you~" Venerable Tianhuo said somewhat lazily. He was only a five-star Dou Zun in his previous life. No matter how much he broke through, he could not reach the threshold of Dou Sheng in a short period of time. Everything still depends on Elder Yao himself.

The old doctor frowned, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. Perhaps he should consider his old friend's advice.

If he can get help from the Pill Tower, his chances of breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm after his resurrection will greatly increase.

Besides.

Yao Yan also needs the protection of some powerful forces.

Fortunately, he, the former number one alchemist in Zhongzhou, was not short of connections, and with Yao Yan's talent, he was enough to attract those people to try to win him over.

……

Black Emperor Sect.

Since his failure to seize the Fallen Heart Flame, Mo Tianxing has kept a low profile. Even the high-profile auctions he used to hold have been canceled. He is quietly waiting for the storm to pass. Elder Su Qian is indeed a man of his word. He said he wouldn't cause him any trouble, and he didn't. This made Mo Tianxing, who was on the run, secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

He immediately returned to the Black Emperor Sect and began to keep a low profile.

After all, no one could remain calm upon hearing that the old demon had his arm torn off by the old monster from the inner court of the Gama Empire, especially since he had also offended Canaan Academy to the death.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen, and he did not have to give up the career he had worked hard for for half his life.

Greed and adventure have always been the main themes of the Black Corner Region.

"Father, should we pledge allegiance to the Heavenly Court? Most of the forces in the Black Corner Region have already done so. I even secretly took a peek, and the current head of the Heavenly Court is really..." Mo Tianxing's son, Mo Ya, revealed a hint of covetousness as he whispered.

Mo Tianxing's expression froze upon hearing this, then he glared at him irritably: "I told you to gather information, and this is how you do it?"

"I've also gathered other information," Mo Ya said with an awkward smile.

"We can't figure out what the Lord of the Heavenly Court is thinking yet, so let's not get involved," Mo Tianxing said in a deep voice. After the Han Feng incident, he has become much more cautious in his actions. Who would have thought that the Black Corner Region actually hides so many big shots?

They thought the Earth Demon Old Ghost of the Seven Star Dou Sect was very powerful, but then an old man suddenly appeared from Canaan Academy and tore the Earth Demon Old Ghost apart.

That's absolutely terrifying.

Mo Tianxing suddenly felt that his Dou Zong status was worthless, and that he might be crushed to death if he wasn't careful.

Almost simultaneously with their conversation.

Two figures suddenly appeared in front of the two men, causing Mo Tianxing and his son to shut their mouths immediately, their eyes filled with fear, because they had seen the newcomers before, and more than once.

Therefore, Mo Tianxing's breath hitched. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 196. Persuasion

196.

Mo Tianxing stared at the person before him, filled with shock and anger. The man had managed to slip past the guards and into the inner palace; just how powerful was he? The thought of this man killing the Earth Demon Old Ghost sent a shiver down his spine. He quickly stood up and said, "Your Excellency..."

"Om~"

Almost at the same time that Mo Tianxing stood up and spoke, an incomparably powerful soul force swept over him. The terrifying soul impact instantly caused Mo Tianxing's mind to shut down. His soul felt as if it had been pierced by countless long needles, and for a moment he had no intention of resisting.

The next moment, a burly black figure appeared in front of Mo Tianxing and punched him directly through the heart. The terrifying force blasted the building behind him.

"Boom~"

The space exploded, and the powerful shockwave instantly blasted the walls open, revealing the azure sky outside.

"Why……"

With his heart shattered by a punch, Mo Tianxing finally regained some consciousness, but the intense weakness made his vision go black. Despite his inner resentment and terror, he glared at Yao Yan and asked a question.

Yao Yan flashed to Mo Tianxing's side, and azure flames rose from his palm, directly covering Mo Tianxing's body. After a moment, a blurry soul was extracted. With the improvement of his strength, he had mastered such a small technique of extracting souls without a teacher.

No matter what, he still possesses the bloodline of a Soul Clan Dou Di.

Mo Tianxing's soul stared at Yao Yan with intense resentment, filled with unwillingness, anger, and a hint of fear. However, Yao Yan ignored him completely and did not say a word of nonsense to him. The weak have no right to resist the strong. Who told Venerable Tianhuo to take a fancy to Mo Tianxing's body?

That's it.

"My lord, spare my life!" Mo Ya's bones went weak the moment he saw his father being instantly killed, and he begged for mercy.

A hint of killing intent flashed in Cai Lin's cold and beautiful eyes. She raised her slender fingers lightly, her posture elegant and composed, but her move was extremely ruthless. She unleashed a seven-colored stream of fighting spirit, which instantly covered Mo Ya. Its terrifying corrosiveness melted most of Mo Ya's body in an instant, causing him to let out a painful howl.

Despite being a Dou Huang-level expert, the opponent's Dou Qi couldn't resist him at all, suggesting a huge gap between them.

In this regard.

Yao Yan's eyes flashed. It seemed that Cai Lin's strength had become increasingly formidable with the evolution of her bloodline. Her domineering poisonous fighting spirit alone was enough to make most Dou Zong experts wary.

Soon, Mo Ya, the former young sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect, was melted into a pool of blood.

Cai Lin, however, acted as if she hadn't done anything at all. She glanced at Yao Yan with her beautiful eyes and didn't feel that she had been ruthless at all. In fact, she thought that her method of killing him was relatively gentle, as she hadn't even tortured him yet.

The price of saying the wrong thing... Yao Yan knew Cai Lin's petty nature, muttered to herself, and then carefully put away Mo Tianxing's body and soul, which were all fresh materials.

As for how the Black Emperor Sect will handle things, Yao Yan believes that Yuan Yi, that lackey, can do a good job.
