Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

"To conclude... a contract...?"

For some reason, Xiao Fan wasn't as sad as he had imagined; in fact, he felt a little... secretly pleased.

When his consciousness returned to the outside world, Xiao Fan did not see Medusa, but a faint connection between the two guided him.

He could sense that Medusa was not far from him, perhaps unsure how to face her...

"Then let me finish what I'm doing first."

Xiao Fan took a deep breath. After all, the purpose of splitting his soul essence was to inject his own soul into the spirit puppet and create an avatar.

The most difficult step, splitting the soul's essence, has now been successfully accomplished with Medusa's help. Next, Xiao Fan only needs to guide one portion of the soul's essence into Mo Shang's body, and that will be considered a success.

By focusing his mind on the space of consciousness, Xiao Fan carefully guided a wisp of soul essence and slowly placed it onto the body of the spirit puppet.

The soul's essence came into contact with the spirit puppet and quickly merged into it, settling in the space of the mind.

Swish!

With his soul essence successfully injected into the spirit puppet, Xiao Fan was able to clearly feel his control over this body.

Upon opening their eyes, both Xiao Fan and "Mo Shang" saw another version of themselves.

With a slight smile, Xiao Fan waved his hand and transferred the Eagle Protector's mark to Mo Shang's body. Immediately, the Chaos Fire within Mo Shang reappeared, once again enveloping the Eagle Protector's mark in flames.

"In this way, the relationship between the two identities will be completely separated." Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes. Next, he only needs to put on a show. The best outcome is to successfully subdue the Eagle Protector and plant Medusa's mark in his mind. With her strength as a Dou Zong, she can temporarily order the Eagle Protector not to leave the Black Corner Region. Once her strength increases, she will have the means to subdue him.

The main reason why the Eagle Protector was not allowed to leave the Black Corner Region was because the Soul Palace had many powerful members. If he returned to the main camp and found a way to remove the mark, it would be bad.

Of course, if the ending isn't so happy and they fail to capture the Eagle Protector, Xiao Fan, now that his identity is completely separated from Mo Shang's, can once again use Mo Shang's identity to enter the Soul Palace.

Moreover, with the presence of Chaos Fire, even the Eagle Protector's mark can be countered by Mo Shang.

Xiao Fan reached out and touched Mo Shang's body, and Mo Shang merged back into Xiao Fan's body.

After putting away Mo Shang, Xiao Fan walked towards the location of Medusa that he had sensed.

After walking for less than two minutes, Xiao Fan saw Medusa sitting on the edge of the cliff. Medusa sat casually on the edge of the cliff, her long legs swinging in the air, and she was still wearing the shoes that Xiao Fan had given her in the Black Corner Region.

As dusk approached, Xiao Fan saw the afterglow of the setting sun falling on Medusa's shoulders, causing him to stop in his tracks without realizing it.

After a long while, Xiao Fan finally came to his senses and stepped behind Medusa.

Medusa had already sensed Xiao Fan's arrival, but for a moment she didn't know how to face him. She could feel the fascination in Xiao Fan's eyes as he stood behind her, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Xiao Fan stood a step behind Medusa, looking at her. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to begin.

"Beautiful...Youruo..."

The moment Xiao Fan finished speaking, he clearly saw Medusa's swaying legs pause slightly before the queen's haughty voice rang out.

"Who gave you permission to call me that?"

With a slight smile, Xiao Fan thought that the shy queen was truly stunning.

Xiao Fan stepped forward, sat down next to You Ruo, and said softly, "Thank you..."

"Hmph!" You Ruo snorted lightly, "This is just to repay your kindness in helping me pass the tribulation. I, Medusa, have no intention of owing you any favors."

"Also, please call me Her Majesty the Queen."

As she spoke, she gave Xiao Fan a slight glare with her beautiful light purple eyes, her red lips pouting slightly, as if venting her dissatisfaction.

"Okay, Youruo... ah..."

Xiao Fan had intended to be mischievous, but he never expected to be pushed off the cliff by Medusa. He screamed in mid-air, then unfurled his Purple Cloud Wings and soared back up, meeting Medusa's gaze as she sat on the cliff edge.

"You're trying to murder me!"

Medusa was not used to Xiao Fan's burning gaze at this moment. If anyone else dared to look at her like that, she would have gouged out their eyes and fed them to the snakes long ago.

Turning away from the cliff edge, Medusa said calmly, "Didn't you say you were going to attract your enemies? Let's get down to business first."

Getting down to business, Xiao Fan landed beside Medusa and asked with concern, "Tell me first, did you experience any discomfort while helping me divide my origin?"

After all, the mission still has a few days left, so waiting a little longer is still possible. If it weren't for the fact that the mission penalty is the extraction of one of the five senses, Xiao Fan wouldn't have been unable to accept giving up the mission, given the vast difference in strength between the two.

"Don't worry." Medusa's voice was as noble and calm as ever. "I just helped you divide the source. Actually, you've already done enough. I just lent a hand. I didn't lose anything."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded. Although he felt something was off, he didn't pay much attention to it. After thinking about his plan again, Xiao Fan separated Mo Shang and told Medusa about his plan, since Medusa's cooperation was still needed for everything to go smoothly.

"In the eyes of the Eagle Protector, this body is a pawn he controls. What we are playing now is trying to seize the Chaos Fire within him, but he sends a message to the Eagle Protector, who then comes to his rescue. Do you understand?"

"If the formation surrounding the Eagle Protector breaks halfway through, we'll abandon the plan and escape directly. We don't need to worry about this body; with the Eagle Protector's mark, he didn't kill me."

Upon hearing this, Medusa turned her gaze to Xiao Fan, "If that's the case, why not just give up? Why go through all that trouble trying to capture him?"

"Sigh!" Xiao Fan sighed helplessly and looked at Medusa, saying, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you the reason. I can only say that I have to try my best to complete this task..." Xiao Fan looked at Medusa apologetically and said softly.

As expected, Medusa's argument did not materialize. She simply nodded, then grabbed "Mo Shang" by the back of the neck and plunged into the valley.

Xiao Fan trapped Mo Shang in the center of the valley and inscribed a formation around him that had a useful smelting effect. Then, he glanced at Medusa and nodded.

Xiao Fan used his soul power to stimulate the Eagle Protector's mark, then shifted his body, put on the Shadowless Mask to conceal his aura, and hid in the surrounding forest. Medusa remained standing in the same spot, waiting quietly.

Black Corner Domain, Black Skull Tomb, Eagle Guardian's Room.

The Eagle Protector, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and frowned.

"Don't hurt me?"

While he was cultivating, he suddenly sensed the imprint planted in Mo Shang's mind. Stimulated by it, Protector Eagle immediately understood that Mo Shang was asking for help.

Mo Shang was an important pawn for him, as it concerned his grand plan to return to Zhongzhou in the future, so he naturally could not give up easily.

"Hmph! I'd like to see who dares to touch my people." After all, Protector Eagle had given Mo Shang an identity token back then, and anyone with a bit of insight could know the power of the Soul Palace, so Protector Eagle was naturally displeased.

......

In the dark mountains, Xiao Fan was still hiding in the woods. This place was neither close nor far from the Black Corner Region, but given the speed of the Eagle Protector, it should only take him a little over an hour to get here from the Black Skull Tomb.

Sure enough, not long after, Xiao Fan saw Medusa standing in the valley and turned to look into the distance.

A few more minutes passed before Xiao Fan finally sensed the presence in the distance.

"So fast..."

Xiao Fan was naturally familiar with the aura of the Eagle Protector, while Mo Shang in the center of the valley pretended to shout, "Protector, save me!"

The Eagle Protector, who had just arrived, looked at Medusa in the valley, then glanced at Mo Shang, who was bound in the center of the formation, before landing on the cliff edge at the top of the valley.

"May I ask who you are? How did my disciple offend you?"

The Eagle Protector sensed a faint threatening aura emanating from Medusa and knew that she was not someone to be trifled with. The most important thing at the moment was to find out what had happened.

"Hmph!" Medusa snorted lightly. "An ant-like figure dares to offend me. This is just to teach him a lesson."

Medusa feigned disdain, glanced at the Eagle Guardian on the cliff edge, and continued to inscribe within the array surrounding Mo Shang.

Although the Eagle Guardian did not understand formations, he could still sense that the formations Medusa had drawn had a refining function, and then he seemed to understand Medusa's thoughts.

After all, he had once thought about plundering Mo Shang's strange fire, but he never expected that it was something he was born with, so in the end, he gave up.

Now, it seems that this mysterious powerhouse has also taken a liking to Mo Shang's strange fire, causing Protector Eagle to frown.

After all, Mo Shang is now of great importance to his plan, and if he were to be killed by this mysterious expert, he would suffer a great loss.

"Your Mightiness......"

"presumptuous!"

The Eagle Protector thought Medusa wasn't too difficult to communicate with, and as soon as he landed and opened his mouth, Medusa attacked him without warning.

Where did this powerful figure come from? How can he have such a fiery temper? He's like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

Having helplessly dodged Medusa's attack, the Eagle Guardian flashed backward and looked at Medusa, slowly saying, "Your Excellency, why bother?"

Medusa remained silent, and her blows grew increasingly severe.

The Eagle Protector's expression subtly changed as he watched Medusa standing in mid-air.

"Dou Zong?"

With his eyes slightly narrowed, the Eagle Protector carefully sensed Medusa's attack, then relaxed.

"He's only just broken through to the Dou Zong realm, but I'm not someone to be trifled with."

Having witnessed Medusa's strength, Protector Eagle felt relieved. After all, although a Dou Zong was terrifying, he was only one step away from becoming one himself, and he still had many tricks up his sleeve, so he wasn't without a fighting chance.

As the Eagle Guardian attacked, jet-black chains emerged from behind him, their tips adorned with triangular spikes that stabbed fiercely at Medusa.

Medusa, realizing the Eagle Protector's strength, became unusually serious.

"As expected, he possesses the strength of a peak Dou Huang..."

Having dodged the Eagle Guardian's chain attack, Medusa nimbly slipped through the gaps in the chains, approached the Eagle Guardian, and delivered a powerful palm strike to his chest.

"Well come."

Sensing Medusa's attack, the Eagle Guardian circulated his battle qi in his right hand, a faint black mist swirling around his palm, emanating an eerie aura, and clashed with Medusa's slender hand.

boom!

A violent roar erupted between the two, and nearby trees were snapped in two by the shockwave, their upper halves flying out and crashing into the distance.

After the first strike, the two figures drew close again, exchanging attacks and counterattacks in a back-and-forth battle.
