In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 197 The Petty Man's Triumph: Protector Wu

After watching Xiao Ran enter the stone gate of the Soul Palace, the Dou Huang powerhouse...

Only then did they close the stone door again.

He spat disdainfully at the stone gate.

"Bah! A petty person who has gained power!"

Then, in a flash, he disappeared again, continuing to hide.

This also shows that the Protector Wu is located in a branch of the Soul Palace.

Just how unpopular are they?

As soon as Xiao Ran entered the gate of the Soul Palace, he discovered that it was a completely different world.

At a glance,

In front of a stone gate, dozens of powerful warriors at the Dou Wang level or above were guarding it.

Upon seeing Xiao Ran enter,

All of them bowed to Xiao Ran in unison.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Protector."

Enveloped in black mist, Xiao Ran simply grunted an "um" and ignored her.

He strode confidently through the small door.

After Xiao Ran entered the stone gate and walked away...

A nine-star Dou Huang spat disdainfully and said...

"Tch! He's just a protector, what's the big deal?"

Another eight-star Dou Huang said jokingly,

"You entered the Soul Palace with that person, and now that person is a high-ranking Protector, while you are still just a gatekeeper."

The nine-star Dou Huang immediately hardened his neck and roared angrily.

"What do you mean?"

"That Wu Ying is nothing more than a sycophant, she just..."

As soon as he said it, he shrank back slightly and glanced around furtively.

Finding nothing amiss, he lowered his voice and spoke.

"Only by licking the boots of those above him and receiving constant rewards can one have the opportunity to break through to the Dou Zong level and become a protector of the Soul Palace."

"If it were me..."

"How are you?" The eight-star Dou Huang expert, intrigued, asked curiously.

Then let's follow the path of the Fighting Emperor.

"I'd definitely lick it even more fiercely than him!"

"Hahaha," everyone burst into laughter.

"But you don't know how to lick it either, otherwise you wouldn't be here."

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

The other first-place winners all burst into laughter.

But after laughing out loud

They all quickly covered their mouths, afraid of being discovered by the people in the store.

For a moment, there were continuous grunting and popping sounds.

……

After Xiao Ran entered that door,

The moment I saw it, I was stunned by what I witnessed.

Before them lay a vast, empty plaza, with a huge stone platform at its very center.

Countless chains, each as thick as a child's wrist, stretched out from the stone platform.

Each chain holds a transparent soul.

From those soul entities, there are endless streams of the soul's essence.

They are converging towards a strange circle in the center of the stone platform.

Even though Xiao Ran had read the original work, he had anticipated and prepared for this scene.

But when I saw this scene,

He was truly shocked and his scalp tingled.

After a while, a guard came over and bowed respectfully.

"Your Excellency, do you have any instructions?"

Xiao Ran snapped out of his reverie and immediately asked a question.

Where is the elder now?

The guard was slightly taken aback, then quickly bowed and said.

"Guardian, we cannot inquire about the Elder's condition. You may visit him in the side hall."

"waste!"

Xiao Ran cursed, then waved to the guard.

"Go about your business. I have some personal matters to attend to."

Having said that, he ignored the guard.

They swaggered confidently, enveloped in black mist, and headed towards the end of the passageway.

Inside the stone chamber.

Little Fairy Doctor is sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, regulating her breathing.

Suddenly, a strange feeling welled up in my heart.

This made her feel irritable, and she stopped exercising.

He couldn't help but frown.

"Strange? What's going on?"

Why do I suddenly feel so uneasy?

at this time,

The stone door to the stone chamber suddenly opened.

A figure shrouded in black mist, whom she found repulsive, appeared at the doorway.

Little Fairy Doctor coldly raised her eyes and asked in an icy voice,

"You've already obtained the Calamity Poison Blood, so why have you come back?"

Xiao Ran had just opened the stone door and entered the stone chamber when...

The first thing he saw was a girl dressed in a simple white dress, sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, staring coldly at him.

Her hair was as white as her plain dress, and her small, delicate face...

It was completely devoid of color; the rosy lips I remembered were now a haggard white.

Looking at that familiar face, Xiao Ran felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"I'm so sorry, Little Fairy Doctor, you've suffered so much. :"

Little Fairy Doctor was wondering why Protector Wu had come back to find her again.

But upon suddenly hearing Protector Wu's words, he instantly felt a chill run down his spine.

He hurriedly stood up, assuming a defensive or offensive stance.

He squinted and stared coldly at Protector Wu.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?"

Xiao Ran was slightly taken aback by Little Fairy Doctor's reaction.

Only then did he realize that he had taken a pill that changed his voice and was still shrouded in the Soul Palace's signature black mist.

It seems that Little Fairy Doctor misunderstood.

So he quickly waved his sleeve and closed the door.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his sleeve and cast a spell of his soul power into the stone chamber, cutting off any possibility of outside detection.

Only then did the black mist on his body dissipate, and he took a pill to restore his voice.

After doing all this, Xiao Ran slowly raised his head, his eyes slightly red, and looked at the pale-faced Little Fairy Doctor.

"Xian'er, do you... do you remember me? Look, who am I?"

When Little Fairy Doctor saw the familiar face and heard the familiar voice...

His eyes widened instantly.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao Ran?"

She never expected that Xiao Ran would come here looking for her.

Through her interactions with the Poison Sect over the years, she had long known that the faction to which Protector Wu belonged was no ordinary force.

Even a powerful expert like Protector Wu, who is at the Dou Zong level, is only a Di-level Protector.

The main force among them, especially the strongmen in the enemy's stronghold, is too numerous to count.

But what about Xiao Ran?

Yet, they still came looking for themselves without hesitation.

After experiencing all these events, Little Fairy Doctor is now very vulnerable and craves a sense of security.

Upon seeing Xiao Ran, she was filled with both emotion and joy, and for a moment, she choked up with emotion.

"You, what brings you here?"

Little Fairy Doctor slowly reached out her hand, wanting to touch Xiao Ran at the door in the distance, but it was probably just a dream.

But he had only taken two steps.

But then he suddenly came to his senses, and upon realizing his current state, his expression changed drastically.

He quickly raised his sleeve to cover his face.

"No, I am not Little Fairy Doctor. You, you have mistaken me for someone else."

Xiao Ran felt a heaviness in his throat.

He took a few steps forward, intending to take Little Fairy Doctor's hand.

"Xian'er, it's me, your Brother Xiao, Xiao Ran. I've come to take you home."

As Xiao Ran approached, Little Fairy Doctor retreated in terror.

She covered her face and huddled in the corner, her voice trembling with tears.

"No! Brother Xiao Ran, I am not Little Fairy Doctor, you have really mistaken me for someone else."
