Wild Dogs

The elder of the Moon Worship Sect chuckled.

"Things aren't that simple."

"I think the royal court is really going to start a war this time."

"To be honest, Beiyuan Tianji Palace had better prepare as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen circumstances."

The Ninth Elder waved his hand.

"It's alright."

"Even if the royal court is bold, it wouldn't go so far as to start a war."

The Ninth Elder didn't want to go into details, leaving the Moon Worshiping Sect elders disappointed.

She nodded slightly, flew to the side, and contacted the others.

After the woman left, the Ninth Elder sneered.

What does it have to do with him that the royal court and the sects are at war?

He rubbed his hands together eagerly.

As long as Yang Fan succeeds this time, he will be safe and sound.

He can improve his strength even if he fights to the death outside.

The Ninth Elder did not have a high status in the sect.

He didn't particularly care about the fate of the sect.

As long as we can achieve a great victory with Yang Fan's help, that's fine.

He clenched his fist triumphantly.

"Kid, don't let me down."

"If you disappoint me, when you come out, I will skin you alive."

Inside the secret realm, Yang Fan looked at the ball of light in front of him.

A remnant soul trembled within the ball of light.

This remnant soul was sent over by the Ninth Elder.

The Ninth Elder only pulled this trick when Yang Fan was about to enter the secret realm.

It did catch Yang Fan off guard at first.

Yang Fan quickly figured out what had been delivered.

He immediately used his divine sense to completely control the remnant soul.

He led the remnant soul into the secret realm, thus preventing the Ninth Elder from detecting him.

After the Ninth Elder was unable to investigate further, Yang Fan imprisoned the remnant soul.

Yang Fan did not act immediately, but instead carefully looked around.

Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no other disciples around.

Upon entering the secret realm, everyone will be sent to different locations to avoid immediate conflict.

Yang Fan grabbed the ball of light and the remnant soul in his hands and flew forward.

He must find a safe place to torture the remnant soul.

As Yang Fan advanced, he scanned the area with his divine sense.

Yang Fan clicked his tongue in amazement.

He had assumed the secret realm would be desolate.

The situation turned out to be much better than I had imagined.

The surroundings are lush and green.

The surrounding vegetation is full of vitality.

These spiritual energies made Yang Fan feel refreshed and relaxed.

The spiritual energy here is much stronger than outside.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a secret realm.

Yang Fan flew for a while and found a mountain range.

He plunged into the mountains.

After rushing into the mountain range, Yang Fan first set up a layer of restrictions before taking out the ball of light.

Inside the ball of light, the remnant soul looked at Yang Fan in fear.

"What's going on? Aren't you just a beginner Qi Refining cultivator? Why is your spiritual sense so strong?"

Yang Fan sneered.

"My spiritual power is beyond your concern."

"What exactly is going on with you?"

Yang Fan raised his hand and pointed forward slightly.

A powerful divine sense pierced through the ball of light and projected onto the illusory figure.

The lingering soul screamed in agony.

"Spare me!"

Yang Fan examined the remnant soul.

"Speak, what is your background? What did the Ninth Elder send you here for?"

The remnant soul chuckled dryly.

"I have nothing to do with him."

"I was imprisoned by the Ninth Elder before, and I only managed to escape just now."

"Dishonest."

Yang Fan shook his head and used his divine sense to suppress it.

Yang Fan's soul had already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, making it easy for him to suppress the remnant soul.

After being tortured, the remnant soul became obedient.

"Yes, I was sent by the Ninth Elder."

"The Ninth Elder told me to keep a close eye on you and do as he says."

Yang Fan looked at the remnant soul.

"Tell me, how does the Ninth Elder want you to keep an eye on me, and what does he want me to do?"

The remnant soul spoke.

"The Ninth Elder thought you were just an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator with weak spiritual sense."

"So while I can't possess your body, I can temporarily control you."

"I can interfere with whatever you want to do."

"You cannot do anything that deviates from the Ninth Elder's principles."

Yang Fan sneered.

The Ninth Elder kept saying he was not worried, but in reality he was keeping a close eye on him.

Yang Fan understood that the Ninth Elder was afraid that he would do something detrimental to himself.

Yang Fan found it laughable.

He didn't say much.

Yang Fan took a deep breath.

"Tell me, why does the Ninth Elder need you to control me?"

The remnant soul chuckled dryly.

"Nothing else."

"I just want you to get to the very center of the secret realm as soon as possible and find the spiritual treasure."

Yang Fan looked at the remnant soul.

"Just searching for magical treasures?"

"I feel that this operation is not just about finding the magical treasure."

Yang Fan looked at the other person.

"Although your remnant soul is only a fragmented divine soul, its spiritual strength is at least equivalent to that of a Core Formation cultivator."

"It's unreasonable for such a powerful remnant soul to deal with a Qi Refining stage cultivator like me."

"Speak, what exactly does Ninth Elder want?"

The remnant soul spoke again.

"I just want the magic weapon."

"Spiritual treasures are of utmost importance. With a Core Formation remnant soul like me taking action, it will be easier and more reliable."

"That's why he asked me to keep an eye on you."

Yang Fan shook his head.

"You're not being honest; you're definitely trying to pull some tricks."

Yang Fan reached out and grabbed forward.

A sharp aura erupted from his hand.

Yang Fan's divine sense pressed down with overwhelming force.

The remnant soul immediately screamed in agony.

Yang Fan continued to torment the other party.

The remnant soul persisted in its attack, while the Ninth Elder was only after the spiritual treasure.

Yang Fan withdrew his hand.

Could it be that he really misunderstood?

The Ninth Elder only sent his remnant soul here because he was afraid of something unexpected happening.

Yang Fan seemed to be deep in thought.

He snapped his fingers.

A powerful divine sense pressed down, almost crushing the remnant soul.

"Just tell me what you want to do, sir, and I beg you to spare my life."

Yang Fan snorted coldly.

"Your remnant soul is incomplete."

"Tell me, where is your true form?"

The remnant soul still tried to deny it.

Yang Fan resorted to his methods once again.

The remnant soul could not hold on any longer and had no choice but to give up.

"My remnant soul is in the Ninth Elder's body."

The remnant soul recounted the details of the original body.

Yang Fan figured out what was going on.

It turns out that more than a year ago, the Ninth Elder went out to train and encountered a divine soul.

The spirit attempted to forcibly possess the Ninth Elder, but failed.

The Ninth Elder's soul was not strong enough to expel the remnant soul from his body.

The two form a unique symbiotic relationship.

Both sides benefit from each other and coexist harmoniously.

The information about the spiritual treasures within the Four Symbols Secret Realm was all told to the Ninth Elder by this divine soul.

The Ninth Elder tried every means to select cultivators with strong spiritual sense to search inside.

Yang Fan sorted things out and nodded.

No wonder the remnant soul looked strange.

Yang Fan grabbed the remnant soul in his hand.

"Whatever you need me to do, I will obey. I only beg you not to kill me."

The remnant soul is only a small part of the divine soul, and its will to survive makes it keep begging for mercy.

Yang Fan spoke.

"I won't kill you."

"I still need you to deal with Elder Ninth."

He touched the remnant soul.

"Your life or death is now in my hands."

"After we get out, you help me deceive Elder Jiu."

"If you cooperate honestly, you can save your life in the future."

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you anytime, sir."

The remnant soul hurriedly agreed.

Yang Fan released the remnant soul.

"Alright, lead the way."

"Do you know where the treasure is hidden nearby, and how to search for it?"

"Yes."

The lingering soul pointed obsequiously forward.

"My lord, there is a Nascent Soul cultivator's tomb not far ahead."

"There are several collectibles inside."

"I'll take the adults there."

"I know how to open the restrictions and mechanisms near the tomb."

"Okay, take me there now."

The remnant soul guides the way ahead.

The two quickened their pace.

Yang Fan followed the remnant soul to the outside of a tomb.

Yang Fan frowned.

He looked ahead.

"This is the treasure trove you were talking about?"

The remnant soul chuckled dryly.

"Looks like something unexpected happened."

The tomb had already been opened, and the remains were scattered all over the ground; there was no treasure to be seen at all.

"Don't overthink it."

"The secrets outside have long been searched out."

"Take me deeper into the area."

"I want to know what's in the deepest part."

The remnant soul, filled with fear, led Yang Fan deeper into the depths.

Yang Fan had little faith in the secrets hidden outside.

The outside area has been completely looted.

There's no need to waste any more time.

The right thing to do is to go straight to the depths.

Yang Fan took out a map.

"Tell me about the entire secret realm."

Yang Fan didn't know much about the secret realm.

Although there is a map, the remaining souls are still needed for explanation.

"Yes."

The remnant soul spoke.

"My lord, you may not know this, but this secret realm is not only where that powerful sect buried its experts, but also a place for disciples to undergo trials."

Yang Fan nodded.

After the remnant soul finished its explanation, Yang Fan was somewhat surprised.

The remnant soul was filled with trepidation.

"Sir, is there a problem?"

Yang Fan looked at him.

"I'm wondering why you know so much about this place."

The Path of the Remnant Soul.

"I have consulted many of the sect's classic texts."

Yang Fan spoke.

"This is not something you can find out by consulting ancient texts."

"You'll only know so much if you've entered the secret realm and gained a deep understanding of it."

"Judging from that previous tomb, you must have been here a long time ago."

"At that time, the tomb had not yet been breached."

"That's why you were so confident in taking me there."

Yang Fan sized up the other party.

"Tell me clearly what exactly you are."
