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

Chapter 398 The Protectors Reunite

As time passed, a sinister black aura suddenly appeared in the Yunlan Sect, which was shrouded in clouds.

After three years of preparation, the four guardians have reunited.

Inside the secret chamber, Yunshan, with his white hair, stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the four people from the Soul Hall.

His early exit from seclusion had some drawbacks for his cultivation, but after experiencing a major battle between sect leaders, he gained many insights.

Now, after three years of quiet cultivation, his spiritual realm has become completely stable.

The leader, Silver Guardian, was surrounded by a tangible black aura. Spurred by the hatred for his brother, his strength had undergone a significant change, reaching the level of a nine-star Dou Zong.

Although the other three guardians did not show any change, judging from their arrogant and confident appearances, they must have each gained something.

His gaze swept over the group, and Protector Silver cut to the chase: "Protector Wu, how's the intelligence gathering going?"

Protector Wu was in charge of matters in the Jia Ma Empire region. He was quite familiar with the surrounding area and had gathered a lot of intelligence over the past three years.

"The person who killed the Iron Guardian was confirmed to be from the Poison Sect of the Izumo Empire. This Poison Sect is a force that has risen in the Izumo Empire in recent years. Only it has the strength to kill our Soul Palace Guardian in the entire Izumo Empire."

Having identified the target of the brotherly revenge, a chilling aura emanated from the black mist surrounding the Silver Protector: "What is the strength of that Poison Sect?"

Protector Wu said with considerable apprehension, "The Poison Sect Master is mysterious and unpredictable, and most of his elders are Dou Huang level experts. However, the fact that he was able to bring down the Wanxie Sect, an old power in the Chuyun Empire, and kill Protector Tie is definitely not something that a low-level protector like me can handle."

He put his heart and soul into this matter, but after the Poison Sect integrated the forces of the Izumo Empire, all the forces, large and small, were rearranged by the Poison Sect, and their defenses were extremely tight. Moreover, those who played with poison even created poisons that damaged the soul.

Even with his strength, he couldn't stay in the poisonous fog for too long.

He was already a soul at this moment, and if anything went wrong again, he would really die.

"Once we deal with those two from the Xiao family, it'll be the Poison Sect's turn," the Silver Protector said bitterly.

Since the Poison Sect is quite powerful, let's select its strongest members as a way to give back to the Soul Hall, so that his efforts over the past three years to improve his cultivation will not have been in vain.

The atmosphere in the secret room immediately became heavy when the two members of the Xiao family were mentioned, and everyone looked at Protector Wu.

Under everyone's gaze, Protector Wu dared not conceal anything: "I have been observing it for quite some time, but I have not noticed anything strange about it. It is no different from an ordinary family. Perhaps only a few individuals are more powerful."

"The strangest place is the one without anything strange." The Silver Protector remained completely unfazed. Even in his weakened state, such a being was not someone an ordinary person could provoke. He gazed at the white-robed elder at the door. "Yunshan, what do you say?"

"The Xiao family has existed for a long time. Apart from Xiao Lin, who once went out to train and made a name for himself, they were nothing special until that day," Yunshan said truthfully, not understanding the reason.

After listening for a long time without hearing any news, Protector Xuan couldn't help but become dismissive: "This is not the same as three years ago. This time, I have made thorough preparations. Even without those two people in the Xiao family, one person alone can wipe out the Xiao family."

The Dharma Protector probably shared this idea. In fact, if they had reported it to their superiors and invited a respected elder, the matter would have been resolved long ago.

Looking at the ground, Yunshan started to calculate in his mind. As it stands, the Soul Palace is still a bit stronger.

Seeing through everyone's thoughts in his crimson eyes, the Silver Protector disdained these people waiting to die, still holding the same opinion as before.

Only two people from the Xiao family came out! Just two!

Those two people were already on par with the elites of these branch halls, so who knows if there weren't other stronger individuals within the family?

Even though these protectors have people behind them, the closest ones are none other than those who respect the elderly.

But once you enter the Xiao family's territory, you'll be facing the entire Xiao family.

The gap between Dou Zun is enormous. If the Xiao family only needs to produce someone slightly stronger than Elder Zun, they will be lambs to the slaughter.

Even if they miraculously survive, the punishment afterwards will never be any better than death.

The consequences of breaking off the engagement because they thought the Xiao family was a small, insignificant family...

The lesson learned from the Yunlan Sect is still fresh in the Silver Protector's memory.

Based on the course of events, and with these three years of planning, all they need to do in the future is capture a few key figures from the Xiao family within the Yunlan Sect.

Compared to facing the entire Xiao family, the danger level is greatly reduced.

Moreover, Xiao Yan's father is the head of the Xiao family, and that item is in the hands of the Xiao family head, which is an extremely great achievement.

Finally, the capture of a key figure in the Xiao family reveals their true strength or weakness through the family's reaction.

If a powerful figure is dispatched, it will prove that the Xiao family does indeed still possess some strength.

If there is no reaction, it confirms that the Xiao family's strength is insignificant.

Based on this judgment, whether he reported the information or dealt with the Xiao family himself, this was another great achievement...

With his mind racing, the Silver Protector looked at the Duck Protector and said, "Since you were the one who gathered the intelligence, the task of annihilating the Xiao family is now entrusted to you."

"Me?" Protector Wu was clearly taken aback. What did this have to do with him? It was Protector Xuan who said he would destroy the Xiao family.

That guy was originally in charge of the Black Corner Region. He had no rules and was extremely bloodthirsty.

"When the appointed day arrives, Xiao Yan's mother will definitely come. Without these two forces, does Protector Wu still lack confidence?" Protector Yin asked in a sinister tone.

"This..." Protector Wu was momentarily at a loss for words. Of the known members of the Xiao family, only these two were truly powerful. The others rarely showed themselves, so who knew their skill level?

Seeing the Silver Protector poised to act, the Duck Protector quickly agreed.

If he disobeys orders, his death will be in vain, and he will become nourishment to strengthen the Silver Protector.

Fortunately, during these three years, he did not live a life of ease and luxury, but rather focused on intelligence gathering.

Several protectors were eyeing the Yunlan Sect, a lucrative prize. Although the Jia Ma Empire had once been their territory, strength reigned supreme in the Dou Qi Continent, especially in the Soul Palace.

After three years of traveling, he had collected quite a few things in the Izumo Empire.

The Izumo Empire, which deals with poison, is practically walking on a knife's edge; if they're not careful, they'll destroy themselves.

Moreover, that poisonous fighting energy is extremely detrimental to a person's lifespan, and the lifespan of people in the Izumo Empire is generally not high.

The absence of Iron Guardian, that soul cleaner, actually benefited him for nothing.

The Silver Protector nodded in satisfaction at the Wu Protector's reaction.

If Protector Wu dies in the Xiao family, he will know immediately and will have to leave the territory of the Jia Ma Empire as soon as possible.

Even if he didn't die, dealing with a seriously injured Protector Wu would be much easier.

As for the credit, it's best if it's all enjoyed by one person alone.

With a slight glance at Protector Xuan, Protector Yin secretly added him to the order of priority; the next one would be Protector Xuan.

With his gaze averted, the Silver Protector chuckled and said, "Once you, Protector Wu, have destroyed the Xiao family, I will definitely report your achievements to the higher authorities."
