Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 204 The Return Journey: The Soul Palace

"Sigh...it's finally over..."

Looking at the clear sky, everyone in the Yunlan Sect breathed a long sigh of relief and exchanged wry smiles.

Who would have thought that the Xiao family, who were like ants to the Yunlan Sect, would actually attract a terrifyingly powerful expert that even their former sect leader would find difficult to deal with.

"That concludes today's matter. Go back and cultivate diligently." Yunshan looked around and called out with a dignified air.

"Old Sect Master..." Yun Leng uttered somewhat unwillingly from within the ice block.

"Shut up!" Yun Shan coldly snapped, his face grim. He glanced at him indifferently. "What else do you want? Even I am no match for Xiao Yan's mother!"

At this point, Yun Shan's expression turned extremely grim. Staring at Yun Ling within the ice, he rebuked, "I think you're really getting senile! This is just one person from the Xiao family; who knows how many other powerful figures like him there are?"

"She's just a five-star Dou Zong, only her fighting techniques are a bit strange. If she makes another move, that woman is nothing." The Silver Protector gracefully arrived in front of Yunshan.

"Five-Star Dou Zong!"

Upon hearing about Xiao Yan's mother's strength, the elders of the Yunlan Sect secretly gasped in shock, never expecting that woman to be so powerful!

In the entire Jia Ma Empire, there is probably only one Dou Zong powerhouse, and their old sect master is probably the only one, and even that star level is not very high.

I never expected that a young woman could reach the level of a five-star Dou Zong!

This was nothing short of a bombshell for the elders of the Yunlan Sect.

Yunshan waved his hand at the crowd: "You can all go down now."

"Bring Yunling along too," Yunshan added, glancing at Yunling in the ice.

The elders exerted all their strength, but they could not budge the ice this time. In the end, they had to chisel open the floor before they could drag Yunling away.

The Silver Protector looked at Yunshan and said in a sinister tone, "You so easily handed over the Cloud Mist Covering the Sun Formation of the Cloud Mist Sect to this person from the Xiao family. Could it be that you really have your eye on that son-in-law of the Xiao family?"

Yunshan said calmly, "The Cloud and Smoke Covering the Sun Formation is not so easy to cultivate, and its effect on Dou Zong experts is negligible, so it won't have much of an effect on them."

"Is that so?" The Silver Protector sneered.

Yunshan smiled and said, "Guardian Yin is very powerful. If he wants to take down those two members of the Xiao family, it may take some effort, but it will definitely not be difficult."

"However, if this drags on for too long and attracts more members of the Xiao family, it will cause some trouble." Yunshan sighed. He hadn't expected that just a short period of seclusion would change the landscape of the Jia Ma Empire.

The Silver Protector didn't take Yunshan's praise to heart, and said meaningfully, "This Xiao family is indeed a bit strange."

The other three guardians had a deep understanding of this; those puppets were like another version of themselves, with exceptionally tough bodies and carrying a deadly poison that could even affect the soul.

Silver Protector looked at the dark green mist: "Protector Xuan, you should detoxify as soon as possible. If it is still useless after three years, then there is no need to return to the Soul Palace."

"Yes," Protector Xuan replied weakly. Although the poison in his body was potent, it was not enough to kill a soul like him.

However, peeling away a layer of his soul would severely damage his vitality...

"Guardian Wu, you are familiar with the Jia Ma Empire. After you recover from your injuries, gather as much information as possible about the Xiao family. Guardian Li, your injuries are the least severe. Go to the Chu Yun Empire to gather information. After dealing with the Xiao family, the next target will be the Chu Yun Empire. Those who kill my Soul Palace Guardians will pay a terrible price."

The Silver Protector clenched his fist, transforming into a cloud of black mist that shot into the sky. He too needed to work hard for what would happen three years from now.

Once outside the Yunlan Sect's territory, Xiao Yan put away all his puppets, summoned the Yanling Warhawk, and sped back to the Xiao family.

"Is this the corpse of the Flame Feather Eagle King?" Yun Yun was somewhat familiar with the object beneath her feet, but she hadn't expected it to be able to maintain such speed even after death.

"Yun'er, do you know?" Qin Yueyao looked at Yun Yun curiously. She just knew that this thing was very fast and she couldn't see its true form.

Yun Yun lowered her head, her face flushed. This was something that had happened between her and Xiao Yan in that small valley.

Looking at this shy beauty, Qin Yueyao giggled and turned to Xiao Yan: "Who are those protectors? You seem to know them quite well?"

Yun Yun then curiously raised her head: "The Yunlan Sect has not been involved in matters on the continent for many years, and as far as I know, there is no such person in the Jia Ma Empire."

Xiao Yan slowly said, "They come from a mysterious force, the Soul Palace. I have fought against them before. Don't be fooled by their strength; they are nothing more than souls."

"A soul?!" Yun Yun was shocked. "Although I have read in some ancient books that some powerful people can have their souls immortal after death and continue to live in the world, I never thought that they could actually unleash such power."

Qin Yueyao had already noticed this, but she was puzzled as to why a force like the Soul Hall would appear in the Jia Ma Empire. Also, the Soul Hall seemed to have a strong hostility towards their Xiao family.

Xiao Yan continued, "Perhaps it is precisely because they are soul beings that they can amplify their strength through soul devouring. Moreover, the stronger the soul they devour, the greater the amplification of their strength."

"I was on guard during the battle, but I still overlooked something. Fortunately, we caught up in the end. If that guardian had succeeded in devouring the soul, we probably wouldn't have been able to leave so easily," Xiao Yan said with lingering fear.

Yun Yun then understood why the six puppets had been hovering in the sky without making a move; they were guarding against the guardians devouring her teacher's soul. She couldn't help but feel moved: "Thank you, Xiao Yan."

"This is nothing," Xiao Yan shook his head slightly.

Yun Yun said worriedly, "Now that we've left the Yunlan Sect, if those Soul Hall protectors attack Teacher, wouldn't Teacher be in danger?"

"Don't worry, with you, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, outside, those Soul Hall protectors, though inhuman, won't do anything too outrageous for the time being," Qin Yueyao reassured her.

Yun Yun nodded gently, thinking that the final act of stopping meant that Yunlan Sect would be safe for the time being.

However, Xiao Yan and his mother were quite strong, so why did they give up?

Xiao Yan understood the confusion in Yun Yun's eyes and sighed, "The last protector has the strength of an eight-star Dou Zong. Even if my mother and I were at our peak, we wouldn't be able to take him down easily if we joined forces."

Furthermore, the use of numerous advanced combat techniques has already depleted our battle energy, further reducing our chances of victory. Continuing the fight would only result in mutual destruction and offer no benefit.
