After completing this series of actions, an expression of joy appeared on the faces of the old ghost Zhaixing and the other two elders of the Soul Palace.
At this moment, they seemed to have completely forgotten the current dangerous situation. Their minds and eyes were completely attracted by what was about to happen, full of anticipation.
By then, the top powerful men of the Soul Palace will be here in person, and all the difficulties they are currently facing will melt away instantly like ice and snow meeting the sun.
As for that abominable Xiao Ling, even though he controlled many strange puppets with extraordinary power, he was no match for the strong men of the Soul Palace, and was destined to die here today.
This space scroll was originally carefully prepared by the Soul Palace for a secret operation against the Three Thousand Flames.
However, the situation was pressing, and Zhaixing Old Ghost had no choice but to use it reluctantly. As a result, the Soul Palace's plan for the Three Thousand Flames was naturally declared bankrupt.
He knew clearly in his heart that he had not been able to complete the mission this time and had caused the Soul Palace to lose an eighth-grade alchemy master. Even if he could return to the Soul Palace safely afterwards, severe punishment would be waiting for him.
But at this critical moment of life and death, compared with the possible loss of life, those future punishments are no longer so important.
The old ghost Zhaixing knew in his heart that as long as he could survive, everything could be salvaged.
Therefore, he made up his mind to overcome the current crisis no matter how high the cost.
Seeing that the old ghost Zhaixing suddenly took out a space scroll, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, revealing a bit of surprise.
But soon, his face changed to an expression of interest. Obviously, their previous confidence was mostly derived from the blessing of this space scroll.
Xiao Ling thought to himself, no wonder they were so calm, it turned out they had already prepared this "trump card" and were ready to call on the big guys to save people at any time.
However, this time, their wishful thinking was doomed to fail. After all, Xiao Ling was not the only one here, there was also Zi Yan, who was far superior to Xiao Ling in the mastery of spatial power, lurking in the surrounding void.
These people from the Soul Palace had already been put on Xiao Ling's hunting list, so he had naturally made preparations in advance so that nothing would go wrong in this matter.
In order to prevent the people from the Soul Palace from escaping, Xiao Ling asked Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan to set up a space barrier here before fighting with them.
Therefore, this space scroll that was regarded as the last hope of escape by the old ghost Zhaixing was nothing more than a trivial trick in the eyes of Zi Yan, the eighth-level Taixu ancient dragon. It could not stir up any waves at all, let alone play the role as expected.
Hidden in the void, Zi Yan had been watching the battle in a bored manner. When she saw the old ghost Zhaixing nervously crushing the space scroll in an attempt to summon reinforcements, a glow of excitement instantly bloomed on her face.
"Hehe, it seems like there's finally some fun, it's my turn to take action." She whispered to herself, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "It's so boring to watch from the sidelines, now I can finally feel a sense of participation."
With this in mind, Zi Yan gently waved her slender hand, as if plucking some invisible strings, and a force of space spread silently without anyone noticing.
The space crack that was about to collapse, under the gaze of everyone, actually began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became as stable as before, as if it had never appeared.
The violent spatial energy also began to merge with the surrounding heaven and earth, leaving no trace.
From the perspective of other people, they basically thought that there was something wrong with the space scroll, which caused the space crack to fail to be successfully opened.
This was what the old man Zhaixing and the other two elders from the Soul Palace were speculating in their minds at this time.
However, Xiao Ling knew very well that all this was undoubtedly the result of Zi Yan's secret manipulation. With Zi Yan's ability, it would be a simple matter to directly break up the space crack before it was fully formed.
Fortunately, this girl accompanied him this time. Otherwise, facing the current dilemma, although Xiao Ling's life would not be in danger, it would undoubtedly take a lot of effort and time to solve it, and it would inevitably be difficult and full of twists and turns.
"Haha, you actually brought a space scroll to protect yourself. It seems that the Soul Palace attaches great importance to your operation this time." Xiao Ling sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "But it seems that this scroll is just a piece of waste paper at the moment and can't play any role."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ling lightly hooked his finger, and the twelve Heavenly Demon Puppets seemed to have received a silent command and instantly took action again.
There was a bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes, like twelve golden lightning bolts, cutting through the air. With a fierce murderous intent, they once again launched a violent attack towards the Star-Picking Old Ghost and his two companions.
At this moment, the three members of the Soul Hall, who had suffered a series of attacks, had completely collapsed mentally. Under the siege of the twelve Heavenly Demon Puppets, they were like trapped beasts, losing all their power to fight back.
The Soul Palace's special and strange methods, which were usually feared by everyone, could not be used at all at this moment, and even the last chance of choosing to self-destruct was not taken advantage of.
The three Soul Palace Lords could only struggle in despair, but ultimately they could not escape the judgment of fate.
The Sky Demon puppets ruthlessly carried out Xiao Ling's orders, and each attack worsened the condition of the Soul Palace trio. Finally, when they were unable to resist, the Sky Demon puppet's metal palm accurately pierced the elders' chests.
Blood splattered everywhere, lives faded away quietly, and the three Soul Palace elders were pierced through the heart one by one in this siege. It was truly sad.
Who could have expected that the Soul Palace, which was so powerful that no one dared to challenge it, and was known for its weird and ruthless behavior, would lose four elders in succession in this alchemy world, including a top alchemist who had reached the level of an eighth-grade alchemy master.
Even though the Soul Palace has a strong foundation, this loss is undoubtedly a heavy blow.
I watched as the bodies of the three Soul Palace elders fell from the sky, hitting the ground heavily, raising a cloud of dust, and then there was no sound at all.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but gently shook his head, showing a trace of helplessness, and whispered to himself: "Tsk tsk, this is the outcome you asked for. Who told you to provoke me? You ended up like this, it's really your own fault, you can't blame me..."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Ling did not linger for long. He first properly collected the twelve Heavenly Demon Puppets, then his figure flashed and he was the first to come to the bodies of the three Soul Palace elders.
These three Dou Zun bodies and three Dou Zun-level soul bodies are indeed good things and must be cleaned up and dealt with as soon as possible.
Xiao Ling did not give the souls of the three people any chance to resist. He just reached out and pulled the souls of the three people out of their bodies.
Then, he skillfully sealed these souls into three porcelain bottles, and then used strange fire to carefully seal the bottle mouths.
After completing this series of operations, Xiao Ling felt that everything was safe, so he put away the porcelain bottle containing the three soul bodies properly.
Afterwards, Xiao Ling methodically took off the storage rings from the three Dou Zun bodies, intending to check the spoils inside later. Afterwards, he put the three bodies into a storage ring that he carried with him specifically for storing various bodies.
At this moment, Zi Yan's figure gradually condensed from the void like a phantom, and appeared silently beside Xiao Ling.
Xiong Zhan has been guarding the entrance of the valley from beginning to end, ensuring that no other alchemists or magical beasts from the Wanyao Mountains can break into the valley.
"Xiao Ling, why is it that every time I see you take down someone, you always like to pick up their body and soul? It was okay before, but why are you still like this now?"
Zi Yan casually took out a Narcissus Jade Fruit from her sleeve and bit the flesh gently, while asking curiously,
"With your current strength, it seems that there is no need to deliberately collect these materials to refine puppets that can only reach the Dou Zun level at most."
"Haha, I collect these for my own reasons and purposes, but you just don't understand them." Xiao Ling turned his gaze to Zi Yan, raised a faint smile, and answered casually.
Zi Yan's words were not without basis. With Xiao Ling's current strength, he no longer needed to rely on collecting these materials to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet to enhance his own protection.
Unless he could refine a puppet that was powerful enough to rival a Dou Sheng-level warrior, puppets of other levels would not be of much use to Xiao Ling at this stage.
However, the main target of Xiao Ling's behavior was naturally those soul bodies. But since he had already collected the soul bodies, he would also take away those bodies that could still be used.
Anyway, it’s just a matter of raising your hand, and it won’t take much time and energy, so why not do it?
Zi Yan heard this and shook her head slightly. Although there was a hint of confusion in her eyes, she did not continue to ask. Since Xiao Ling insisted that these collections had their own uses, then let him do it.
Anyway, to her, these trivial matters are just a little waste of time and are actually no big deal.
As a Warcraft, she lacked deep empathy for these human behaviors. The death of these people had nothing to do with her, and they were not close to her.
Therefore, she just accepted this fact calmly, continued to enjoy the Narcissus Jade Fruit in her hand, and let Xiao Ling busy himself with his collection.
In this devastated valley, Xiao Ling walked slowly, performing the soul-capturing technique he had snatched from the Soul Palace.
With a slight wave of his hand, he absorbed all the souls in the barrier, as if it were an invisible net, capturing the souls floating in the air one by one.
These soul bodies are undoubtedly the best supplements for nourishing the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. At the same time, they can also create many powerful banner slaves for Xiao Ling.
A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Xiao Ling's eyes. It turned out that he had made the right choice this time. The rich harvest was beyond his imagination before, which made him secretly happy.
Looking back, even the previous operation to destroy Huangquan Valley had yielded less than half of what we gained this time.
Although Huangquan Pavilion is a huge force with a large number of people, the quality of the souls of its members is mediocre. The most outstanding one is Huangquan Zun, who has reached the Dou Zun level.
However, Xiao Ling's spoils this time were extremely rich. Not only did he obtain the souls of four Soul Palace Dou Zun-level souls, but he also obtained the soul of Master Mu Gu, an eighth-grade alchemist, which was extremely precious.
Those contestants who had previously fallen at the hands of the Soul Palace were all outstanding alchemists who were capable of participating in this alchemy conference. Each of them had an alchemy skill no lower than the sixth level.
Those who are qualified to gather in Cao Ying's small circle are all elites among the elites.
Therefore, the soul bodies of these alchemists naturally have very excellent quality. The quality of each strand of soul is enough to be superimposed on the soul bodies of practitioners of the same level, several times or even dozens of times. This shows how valuable they are.
It is precisely because of this that the people of the Soul Palace are so keen on hunting down alchemists and seizing their souls. It is also because of this that the Soul Palace and Danta have been in a state of hostility for so many years.
After a period of busy work, Xiao Ling finally collected all the valuable items here. As for those items that he disdained, he naturally did not waste energy to pay attention to them, leaving them scattered in the place and covered with dust.
"Xiao Ling, where are we going next? Are we going to leave this Dan world directly? Or do you have other arrangements?" After eating the Narcissus Jade Muscle Fruit that she had taken out earlier, Zi Yan saw that Xiao Ling had packed up, so she came to his side, naturally took Xiao Ling's right hand, and asked.
"No hurry, there is still plenty of time. There are still a few days before the end of this round of Danjie assessment. We don't have to rush to leave. After all, if we go out, we will just be waiting in boredom..."
As Xiao Ling spoke, he gently picked up Zi Yan, smiled gently, and said.
I accidentally found a treasure before, and I was planning to find a quiet place to absorb and refine it. I think Xiong Zhan's cave is a perfect place."
"Then let's get going quickly. That big stupid bear should still be guarding the valley entrance. Let's just call him and then go back to the cave together. I promised that guy before that when I leave this Dan world, I will take him with me."
As Zi Yan spoke, she twisted gently in Xiao Ling's arms, found a more comfortable position, and then snuggled into Xiao Ling's chest.
"Also, I haven't had time to collect all the precious medicinal herbs in that square yet. I'll go back again and take this opportunity to pack them up and take them away."
"Haha, that's true. We can't just leave those herbs there and ignore them."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling chuckled and without further ado, he hugged Zi Yan tightly, leaped lightly, and turned into a stream of light, flying towards the exit of the valley.
Chapter 453 Rendezvous
"Cao Ying, in my opinion, we should evacuate the dangerous Wanyao Mountains first. After all, there are only two of us in this deep mountain. If we are unlucky enough to encounter a seventh-level monster, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to escape unscathed in our current state."
On a hill outside the Wanyao Mountains, Dan Chen looked at Cao Ying with concern as she stood on the top of the hill and stared into the distance, and persuaded her in a soft but firm voice.
At that time, with the help of the space channel opened up by Xiao Ling, this group of people managed to escape from the closed barrier and were teleported to the edge of Wanyao Mountains.
In order to ensure safety, those who took the test did not dare to stay here for long, and they all hurried towards the exit of the Dan Realm.
As for the medicinal herbs needed for the assessment, they no longer dared to have any extravagant hopes. If they happened to encounter them on the road and were able to collect them, that would naturally be the most ideal situation. If they failed to encounter them, they could only look through their own collections to see if they could pay for it out of their own pockets and complete the assessment.
If I still cannot produce the medicinal materials needed for the assessment and cannot trade with others, then I can only regretfully choose to give up and withdraw from this alchemy meeting.
After what happened before, these people didn't want to stay in the Dan Realm any longer. No one could predict whether there were still remnants of the Soul Palace lurking in the Dan Realm.
If they encounter it again, they may not be as lucky as last time and be able to escape unscathed.
However, Cao Ying was concerned about Xiao Ling's safety and insisted on waiting here until Xiao Ling's problem was satisfactorily resolved, and she was willing to leave with him.
As Dan Chen had promised Xiao Ling to protect Cao Ying, although he felt helpless, he had to bid farewell to his brother and stayed alone to accompany Cao Ying.
"No, I have to wait until I meet up with Xiao Ling before I can consider leaving. Dan Chen, you don't have to stay here with me. If you feel uneasy, just leave alone first."
Cao Ying shook her head gently, her eyes piercing through the mist, staring in the direction of the basin. There was a hint of sadness in her tone that was hard to conceal as she spoke slowly.
"Absolutely not. I promised Brother Xiao Ling that I would ensure your safety. Given your current condition, I'm afraid you would be unable to even face a fifth-level magical beast. How can I leave you alone in this dangerous place?" Dan Chen shook his head firmly, his tone revealing unquestionable seriousness.
She paused, an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes, and then said: "Besides, you don't have to worry too much. We should have confidence in Brother Xiao Ling. I have a hunch that Brother Xiao Ling will be able to overcome the danger and be safe..."
As if to confirm Dan Chen's words, the sound of their conversation had not yet echoed and dissipated in the mountains, when two bright lights, like meteors, streaked across the sky from the other side of the basin and rapidly approached their direction.
The two streams of light shuttled between the mountains, like the dawn light, instantly illuminating Danchen and Cao Ying's eyes, and their expressions involuntarily became focused.
Both of them had extremely powerful soul powers and exceptionally sharp perceptions. They quickly identified the familiar aura contained in one of the beams of light, which was Xiao Ling.
Realizing this, Dan Chen and Cao Ying couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on their faces, as if they had seen a lighthouse guiding them home in the dark night, and the heavy stone in their hearts instantly fell to the ground.
In just a blink of an eye, the two streaks of light that passed like meteors approached rapidly, and finally landed in front of Dan Chen and Cao Ying, turning into two clear figures.
