Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

How big is Chapter 236? Is it as big as a Great Dou Master?

In the lobby.

After some details were discussed and finalized, everyone gradually left.

"Xiao Bai greets the clan leader!"

Upon arriving in front of Xiao Zhan, Xiao Bai smiled and bowed respectfully.

"No."

Xiao Zhan was startled and immediately stood up, taking Xiao Bai's hand and saying urgently:

"Your status is different now; you are the leader of the alliance. How can you so easily lower yourself!"

"Regardless of my status, Xiao Bai will forever remember the kindness shown to him by the Xiao family!"

Xiao Bai shook his head. He was only five years old when he transmigrated, and his cheat ability hadn't been activated yet. If it weren't for the Xiao family, no one knows what would have happened to him.

Besides, although he did not have the blood of the Xiao family, the Xiao family had never treated him badly. He was treated the same as other members of the clan, and they did not mistreat him.

"Oh, you little rascal."

While feeling helpless, Xiao Zhan was also very gratified. No one likes an ingrate, and he was also glad that they hadn't done anything bad when Xiao Bai was unable to break through.

"How did the family relocation go?" Xiao Bai smiled and asked softly.

"Everything's fine!" Xiao Zhan nodded and smiled, "With you here, all the various forces have been a great help. The Empire has also entrusted the management of Wutan City to the Xiao family!"

"That's good. If you encounter any trouble, remember to let me know!" Xiao Bai nodded slightly.

"You've already been a great help!"

Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Bai on the shoulder, shook his head and smiled:

"Now that you are the leader of an alliance, you are very busy. You don't need to worry about the family. Take care of yourself first!"

"We can't offer you much help, but we won't be a burden either. Remember to visit your family when you have time!"

"You probably don't know, but all the little brats in the family are incredibly proud of you!"

"I'll go back and visit when I have time!" Xiao Bai nodded and smiled.

"Great!" Xiao Zhan was very happy and was about to pull Xiao Yan away, but he couldn't move him.

"Yan'er, you."

"Dad, you go first, Bai Ge and I have things to do!" Xiao Yan scratched his head and smiled.

"you."

After scanning Xiao Bai and Xiao Yan for a moment, Xiao Zhan revealed a gratified smile:

"I never expected this. You two, who used to fight all the time, are now the best of friends. Haha, alright, alright. I'll be going now, you two brothers can chat all you want!"

With a loud laugh, Xiao Zhan turned and left.

"hey-hey."

Recalling his childhood when he went looking for trouble and got beaten up, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Bai, touched his nose, and smiled awkwardly.

Xiao Bai also recalled that time and couldn't help but smile.

With a wave of his hand, he set up a barrier in the hall, from which golden arcs of lightning occasionally crackled and hissed.

The smile on his face gradually faded, and he said in a deep voice:

"Elder Yao, please release that guy from the Soul Palace!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Lao emerged from the ring, holding a jade bottle with a ball of eerie white flame at its mouth.

Not far away, Cai Lin's gaze sharpened, and she appeared beside Xiao Bai in a flash. Looking at the jade bottle in Yao Lao's hand, a hint of vigilance appeared in her beautiful eyes.

He felt a slight sense of apprehension. Although this guy was seriously injured, he was still a Dou Zong expert and should not be underestimated.

"Sigh, I really don't know why you're keeping him around."

Seeing this, the old apothecary shook his head slightly, wiped his palm across the mouth of the bottle, and the eerie white flames on it gradually dissipated.

As the flames dissipated, a phantom figure surged out and, without regard for anything else, shot directly towards the rooftop.

"Bang!"

On the barrier, a wisp of golden lightning condensed and struck down, landing on the illusory figure. Instantly, a shrill scream rang out.

"Don't struggle anymore. If you were at your peak, perhaps I would be a little more wary, but right now, you're nothing more than a piece of meat on my chopping block. When I slaughter you depends on my mood!"

Xiao Bai smiled slightly, and with a gentle wave of his sleeve, the barrier began to shrink, eventually transforming into a dome that enveloped the fleeing, illusory soul.

"Heh. Kill him? Do you dare?"

"All the protectors of my Soul Hall have their soul imprints left in the Soul Hall. If you kill me, it will be immediately detected. Then you will be facing the enforcers of the Soul Hall. Do you think a remnant soul like Yao Chen and a Medusa can protect you?"

Protector Wu sneered and glared angrily at Xiao Bai.

"Are you threatening me?"

Reaching the barrier, Xiao Bai pointed, and a multicolored light flashed from his fingertips. Immediately, a thunderous roar echoed through the hall.

"ah"

Inside the protective barrier, multicolored lightning crackled throughout the space, and the screams of the Guardian of the Wild Goose echoed continuously.

"What exactly do you want?"

"I'll ask you a few questions. Answer honestly, and if your answers satisfy me, I might spare your life!" Xiao Bai twitched his fingers slightly and smiled noncommittally.

"What do you want to ask?"

As the multicolored lightning within the protective barrier gradually disappeared, Protector Wu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a cold voice.

"Are you a Earth-level Protector of the Soul Palace?"

Xiao Bai reached out and pulled over a chair, sitting down and asking leisurely.

"You actually know this? You..." Protector Wu looked surprised and was about to say something when the multicolored lightning reappeared in the barrier.

"Answer my question!" Xiao Bai withdrew his finger and said calmly.

"Yes, I am a Earth-level Protector!" Protector Wu was filled with hatred, his eyes were gloomy, but he answered honestly.

"Do you know the locations of a few branch halls?" Xiao Bai ignored his expression and continued to ask.

"Who exactly are you?"

Protector Wu was truly shocked. How could he know something that only people inside the Soul Palace would know?

"Um?"

Seeing Xiao Bai's finger point again, Protector Wu disregarded his doubts and shouted loudly:

"I said, I know one. Ah."

The screams rang out again, and Protector Wu, his expression furious, growled:

"I've already told you, why are you still trying to strike me with lightning!"

"If you don't behave, you'll not only be struck by lightning, but also burned alive!"

Xiao Bai said indifferently:

"The Soul Palace has a strict hierarchy, with protectors divided into three levels: Heaven, Earth, and Human. Human-level protectors know one branch palace, Earth-level protectors know two, and Heaven-level protectors know three. You, as an Earth-level protector, actually claim to know only one?"

"What the hell?"

Protector Wu was instantly dumbfounded. Was he a protector of the Soul Hall, or was this guy a protector of the Soul Hall?

You already know that, why are you asking me? Are you crazy?

Behind Xiao Bai, Cai Lin and the others were also speechless. This didn't look like an interrogation at all; it looked more like they were being toyed with.

This guy seems to know more about the Soul Hall than the people in the Soul Hall themselves.

"Stop struggling, you hawk! Answer the questions honestly, and don't try to outsmart me!"

Xiao Bai chuckled softly, his face full of sarcasm.

"You even know my name?"

Protector Wu was filled with horror as he looked at Xiao Bai, a hint of fear in his eyes. Only those familiar with him in the Soul Palace knew this name; even Yun Shan didn't know it.

Could this guy also be a member of the Soul Palace?

Or is there a traitor within the Soul Palace?

"Tell me, what were we doing capturing him at the Yunlan Sect that day?"

Ignoring his surprise, Xiao Bai narrowed his eyes, pointed at Xiao Yan behind him, and slowly asked.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's spirits lifted, as this was also what he wanted to know.

"This is a mission from my Soul Hall: to find a family surnamed Xiao. I don't know the specific reason!"

Wu Ying gritted his teeth and answered honestly that he didn't know how much Xiao Bai knew about the Soul Palace. If he still harbored any illusions, that bastard would definitely torture him cruelly.

Behind him, Yao Lao's eyes flickered with thought. He looked at Xiao Yan, then at Xiao Bai, and then, thinking of the little girl named Xiao Xun'er, a look of shock and realization flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"There are many people with the surname Xiao in the world. How can you be sure that one of them is the family you are looking for?"

Xiao Bai's eyes were deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to discern his thoughts. He asked indifferently.

"The Soul Hall has issued a crystal bead to each of its protectors. When encountering a suspect, they take the blood of a member of the suspect's family and smear it on the bead. If the crystal bead glows, the suspect is a target of the Soul Hall!"

"Where are the beads?"

Looking the hawk up and down, Xiao Bai noticed that it didn't have any storage rings or anything like that, so he asked.

"It's ruined!"

Without a second thought, the hawk replied, causing Xiao Bai's face to darken. He quickly explained:

"It really was destroyed along with the storage ring. It was destroyed by your lightning that day. Do you think I could have cared about the storage ring and preserved its contents in that situation?"

Xiao Bai was stunned and speechless. He hadn't expected that it was still his fault!

The latest novel is first published here!

However, having already ascertained their method of finding the Xiao family, the existence of the bead was no longer important. He guessed that the bead was likely created by the Soul Clan.

It's either some kind of secret technique, or it's something that once retained the bloodline of the Xiao clan, made into beads, and used to sense bloodlines or something like that.

The power of bloodlines in the Dou Qi Continent has always been very mysterious. The moment someone becomes a Dou Di, the bloodlines of their closest relatives will undergo earth-shattering changes, and the same goes for their cultivation level!

This is something that cannot be done in other dimensions.

For example, it seems that such a thing doesn't exist in the neighboring Tianxuan Continent. However, the concept of reincarnation in the Tianxuan Continent has never been heard of in the Douqi Continent either.

It feels like these lower planes each have their own unique characteristics.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Bai snapped back to reality, reached out and clenched his fist, instantly shrinking the soul shield.

"You still want to imprison me?" Wu Ying's expression changed drastically, and he roared angrily.

"Otherwise, should we treat you like a worshipper?"

Xiao Bai waved his hand, too lazy to waste words with him, and the illusory soul body fell back into the jade bottle.

He took the bottle from the old apothecary, tapped it with his fingertip, and a seal immediately formed, which he then stored in his storage ring.

"call"

Xiao Bai let out a long breath. The matter of the Xiao family had been resolved, and the matter of the Jia Ma Empire had been completed.

Once the worries in one's heart are resolved, it is as if one has been freed from shackles, and the energy fluctuations on one's body become even stronger.

"Xiao Bai, you can no longer suppress your aura. You'd better find a place with abundant energy to cultivate in seclusion and break through in one fell swoop. Otherwise, continuing to suppress it will damage your meridians!"

Sensing the aura emanating from him fluctuating between the levels of Dou Wang and Dou Huang, Yao Lao spoke in a deep voice.

"Um!"

Closing his eyes, Xiao Bai calmed the agitation within him and nodded, saying:

"Tomorrow, I will go to the Yunlan Sect for seclusion to advance to the Dou Huang realm!"

This was what Yun Yun told him when she heard he was going to break through to the Dou Huang realm. She said that Yunlan Sect was the best choice for a place with abundant energy nearby.

"Brother Bai, once the family is settled here, I'll be heading to Canaan Academy. I was originally planning to wait for you, but it seems I'll have to go ahead first!"

Seeing that Xiao Bai was about to break through again, Xiao Yan also became a little impatient.

"good!"

Xiao Bai patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and laughed:

"The academy's annual inner court selection competition is about to begin. If you go now, you should be able to make it!"

In the original story, this guy also went to Black Seal City, which is now Purple Cloud City. I wonder if he will go again this time.

Upon hearing the mention of Zixiao City, Xiao Bai immediately recalled the instructions he had given to the auction house before leaving.

The fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map and the Three Thousand Thunderbolts should be left behind.

I wonder if those two items have ended up at the auction house, and how Xue Yuan and the others are doing with them.

"The Inner Court Selection Tournament?" Xiao Yan's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

You'll find out when you get there!

Xiao Bai shook his head slightly, saying nothing more. Two pretty faces floated into his mind. He wondered how those two girls were doing.

"Alright! I'll be going now."

Xiao Yan knew that this parting meant they didn't know when they would meet again, and he felt a little reluctant to part.

"Brother Bai, take care!"

"Boy, how's your research on resurrection, which you promised me?" Before returning to his ring, the old apothecary suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to ask.

"Well"

Xiao Bai was taken aback, then gave an awkward but polite smile and said sheepishly:

"Under investigation. Under investigation"

"I knew you were unreliable!"

Seeing this, the old apothecary immediately understood what was going on, and he returned to his ring, cursing under his breath.

"You can find out where you got the method to obtain that poison pill yourself, kid!"

Watching Xiao Yan's departing figure, Xiao Bai rolled his eyes and muttered to himself:

"Why is the dignified Medicine Venerable and the Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion so petty?"

"You sure know a lot, kid. Let me ask you, is the Xiao family that the Soul Hall is looking for yours?"

Hearing the voice transmission in his ear, Xiao Bai pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

"As expected."

Seeing this, the old doctor sighed and said with emotion:

"I really did just casually pick up a disciple, but I never expected him to have such a powerful background."

"!" Xiao Bai.

How big is it? Is it as big as a Great Dou Master?

Today, he deliberately interrogated Protector Wu in front of Elder Yao to reveal some information to him, telling him to be more careful in the future, as the Xiao family cannot withstand too much trouble now.

With the old man's shrewdness, he should be able to understand what it means.

Everything was over, and the moon was high in the sky.

In the lobby.

Cai Lin glanced at Xiao Bai indifferently, then pulled Zi Yan and turned to leave.

As he approached the door, he paused slightly, and a clear, cold voice rang out:

"Tomorrow, I will return to my clan!"

Today, Jiaxingtian has promised to make concessions and will go back to arrange the migration of her people.

"Cai Lin, you don't... want me to go back with you tomorrow, do you?"

Thinking of what she said to him on the day she first arrived in Jiama Holy City, Xiao Bai smiled bitterly.

She glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, her alluring face tense, and said in a low voice:

"I'm just reminding you, is Yunshan still alive? Some people shouldn't let lust cloud their judgment and lower their guard, risking their lives!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai immediately realized that she was being stubborn but kind-hearted, reminding him to be careful of Yunshan during his seclusion at Yunlan Sect. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and he smiled:

"Don't worry! He still has my seal on him; he can't cause any trouble!"

"snort!"

He snorted coldly, pulled up Zi Yan who was making faces at him, and with a swaying figure, disappeared into the darkness.
