"Ugh."
Feng Qing'er's face was filled with pain as a large hand viciously gripped her neck. A black chain bound her hands, suspending her in the air, rendering her immobile. Even more terrifying was the fact that her cultivation was suppressed by an extremely powerful soul force, preventing her from even circulating her Dou Qi.
In an instant, this proud daughter of heaven, this noble phoenix, was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. At this moment, Xiao Yan was like the most terrifying existence in the world, capable of reducing her to ashes at any moment.
"Jie jie jie, caught you."
Feng Qing'er opened her eyes with difficulty. Perhaps it was an illusion, but she saw an Asura Demon Shadow appear behind Xiao Yan, its entire body shrouded in darkness. Especially Xiao Yan's black pearl-like eyes, a pair of eyes that seemed to devour everything in the world.
Being stared at by those eyes instantly made Feng Qing'er's heart tremble, as if everything in the world was insignificant! Heaven and earth were ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs! Xiao Yan's laughter sounded like the devil's laughter to her.
At this moment, Xiao Yan revealed a sunny smile and said, "Feng Qing'er, I don't blame you for pursuing the Three Thousand Lightning Movement for the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. This is a matter of the sect, and it's only natural. I also don't blame you for retrieving the corpses of your clansmen for your family. If the corpses of my clansmen were scattered outside, I would also want to retrieve them."
His voice changed, and Xiao Yan's voice became gloomy, "However, you threatened my Flame Alliance with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race, threatening my family and relatives. This has crossed my Xiao Yan's bottom line."
With a crack, Xiao Yan's five fingers slowly exerted force, and his sharp nails pierced into Feng Qing'er's flesh. It was hard to imagine that the strong body of a Seventh Order Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race genius would be pierced so easily. How terrifying was Xiao Yan's strength?
"Ugh... Xiao Yan, if you kill me, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race won't let you go... I am a genius in the clan..." Feng Qing'er's throat struggled to make a sound. Even now, she was still proud in her heart, still full of confidence in her identity as a member of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race.
"Even if... you are a Pill Tower Alchemist... If you kill my Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race clansmen innocently, the Pill Tower won't care, and you will still be retaliated against."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Feng Qing'er still had confidence in her family at this time. But then he thought about it, and Xiao Yan understood.
It was because she had reached this point, and she couldn't rely on the Wind and Thunder Pavilion now. She only had the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race as a life-saving straw, so she naturally grasped it tightly.
As if he was really afraid, Xiao Yan's right hand slowly loosened.
"Cough cough cough." After Xiao Yan let go, Feng Qing'er gasped for breath.
Suddenly, a gust of hot wind approached Feng Qing'er. Xiao Yan's body was almost touching Feng Qing'er, and his large hand slowly stroked her delicate face, smiling, "How could I be willing to kill you?"
"Your Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race is full of treasures."
Feng Qing'er's complexion, which had recovered a little, turned pale. Of course, she understood that Xiao Yan was not coveting her beauty, but planned to use her for Pill Refining! "You! Using living beings to refine Pills is an evil path! The Pill Tower will not tolerate such Alchemists!!" Feng Qing'er screamed. At this time, she wanted to struggle and escape, but the Soul Chain was extremely strong, and her strength could not break free from the Spirit Realm soul force.
"Pill Tower?" Xiao Yan glanced at the struggling Feng Qing'er in confusion, smiled and said, "That's a lie to you, I'm not an Alchemist from the Pill Tower."
Feng Qing'er was directly stunned. She didn't understand why Xiao Yan wanted to tell her this. Wasn't this courting death? In the next second, a black token slowly appeared in Feng Qing'er's beautiful eyes. The front of the token was engraved with a large Flame Character!
With a buzz, the Soul Token surged with endless black mist, and the black mist instantly enveloped Xiao Yan and Feng Qing'er, forming a special Space Lock! Xiao Yan put away his Bone Wings, and a long robe as black as ink was taken out of the Soul Token by Xiao Yan and slowly put on his body. He put on the hood, and then, the black Void Swallowing Flame slowly burned.
Evil! At this time, Xiao Yan protruded an appearance of a heretic, a black Soul Token, black flames, a black Soul Robe, a black Space Lock! "I am not an Alchemist from the Pill Tower, I am a Venerable from the Soul Palace, you can gently call me Flame Venerable." Xiao Yan wore a hood, and his voice came from the hood.
"Soul Palace!!" Feng Qing'er's face changed drastically. It was actually the Soul Palace! Why was it the Soul Palace!! With a crash, a black Soul Chain shot out from the token, directly piercing Feng Qing'er's neck, locking her Soul. Suddenly, a pulling force appeared, as if to forcibly drag Feng Qing'er's Soul Body out of her body.
Xiao Yan slowly approached Feng Qing'er, who was trying her best to resist, stretched out his finger, gently hooked Feng Qing'er's chin, and smiled, "Jie jie jie, indeed, the Pill Tower does not allow Alchemists to use living beings to refine Pills, but the Soul Palace can."
"Do you see those Soul Bodies in the black mist? These are the Soul Bodies of those who offended me and attacked me. My Bone Wings happen to be missing a Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race Soul. Although your cultivation is average, only a one-star Dou Zong, it's barely usable."
!!!!?
Hearing that Xiao Yan wanted to take her Soul to refine Bone Wings, Feng Qing'er's face was already extremely horrified! Xiao Yan still underestimated the influence of the Soul Palace. Outside of Central State, the Soul Palace might not be so infamous, but in Central State, especially the closer to the Central State Central Region, the Soul Palace could be said to be a name that could stop children from crying.
At the beginning, Hun Xuzi joined forces with the Soul Clan to plot against the Pill Tower Master, angering all the Alchemists in the Pill Tower. The Pill Tower called for an encirclement and suppression of all Soul Palaces in Central State.
Originally, with the appeal of the Pill Tower Alchemists, they should be able to call on all the Alchemists in Central State, and be able to call on countless powerhouses and forces. But as a result, the whole thing ended up unfinished.
Hun Xuzi still lived freely, and the Soul Palace's Heaven, Earth, and Human Halls still existed, and the twenty-four Disha Halls also existed in Central State.
Alchemists did have unparalleled appeal, but the Soul Palace had deterrence, a power that made people fear! At that time, none of the Central State Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Directions Pavilion responded to the Pill Tower's call!
Because they were unwilling to face the Soul Palace! "I'm also curious, isn't your Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race very domineering? You have to take back the corpses of your clansmen who are scattered outside. If they fall into the hands of the Soul Palace, would you still dare to take them back?"
At this time, Xiao Yan was like playing with a toy he had just gotten, gently kneading Feng Qing'er's cheeks, gently pinching her soft lips, carefully checking for any damage.
At this time, Feng Qing'er had already been frightened by the words Soul Palace, her brain was blank, and her eyes were lost.
Soul Palace Alchemist! It was actually an Alchemist from the Soul Palace! And an Eight Grade one!
Not to mention that Feng Qing'er was only a young generation in the clan who barely entered the top ten, even if she was the number one genius, she could only accept her fate if she fell into the hands of the Soul Palace!
"Jie jie jie, vigorous Blood Qi, in her prime. It's a pity to kill her. I happen to have a Pill Recipe that requires the essence and blood of Magical Beasts. How long do you think you can last if I take essence and blood every day?"
Feng Qing'er trembled when she heard this.
"Forget it, forget it, the essence and blood of a one-star Dou Zong Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race is just so-so. It's better to strip you naked, lock you with chains, and put you in a Bird Cage to watch. After all, birds should stay in Bird Cages, right?"
Feng Qing'er was horrified. At this moment, she seemed to be able to foresee the future, to know her future!
This is a Soul Palace Venerable!
Soul Palace!
Suddenly, a clear tear slid from Feng Qing'er's beautiful eyes, landing on Xiao Yan's palm. At this moment, Feng Qing'er, her beliefs shattered, had lost all her former nobility, resembling a lonely, helpless, and pitiful young girl.
"Don't... don't use me for Pill Refining... don't."
If an ordinary person saw such a touching scene, they might soften. But who was he?
Soul Palace, Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan's heart was already filled with Xun Er. Facing this beautiful and moving Feng Qing'er, Xiao Yan's heart didn't have a single ripple.
Xiao Yan's lips curled up, secretly delighted. If he had really been determined to kill Feng Qing'er, it would have been impossible for her to escape; he would have killed her back at the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.
Xiao Yan had deliberately let Feng Qing'er get away from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.
"Eat this Pill, and then refine it with your Dou Qi," Xiao Yan said gently, taking out a black Pill.
!!!
Feng Qing'er's body trembled, her eyes looking at Xiao Yan in horror. Xiao Yan was an Eighth Grade Alchemist, and a Soul Palace Alchemist at that! His methods were definitely beyond what ordinary people could estimate!
"Three."
!! "Two."
Feng Qing'er naturally understood what Xiao Yan's countdown meant, her lips trembling incessantly, her red lips slightly parted.
Xiao Yan smiled, his movements very gentle, gently placing the black Pill into Feng Qing'er's mouth, his finger gently pushing it, directly pushing the Pill into her throat.
With a gulp, Feng Qing'er's throat rolled up and down, swallowing the Pill. Xiao Yan slowly withdrew his finger, the fingertip stained with a strand of transparent silk.
"Good girl."
Feng Qing'er didn't dare to refine this Pill at all! "One."
"Don't count! I... I'll refine it," Feng Qing'er said, her voice tearful. She was now filled with regret. If she hadn't attacked Xiao Yan, regardless of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's affairs, this wouldn't have happened! Although there were Pills in this world, even Emperor Pill Alchemists couldn't refine a Regret Pill.
Feng Qing'er's Dou Qi circulated within her body. The moment Feng Qing'er refined the Pill, with a *boom*, a wisp of dark Soul black mist surged out of the Pill. These special black mistsentangledFeng Qing'er's Dou Qi, merging into her Soul along with the Dou Qi. These special black mists entangled Feng Qing'er's Dou Qi, merging into her Soul along with the Dou Qi.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, and under Feng Qing'er's surprised gaze, pointed a finger, pressing it on her forehead.
With a *buzz*, countless black chains suddenly flew out from the abyss beneath Xiao Yan's feet. These chains, guided by the Pill, pierced into Feng Qing'er's Soul Body.
"Asura Slave Seal."
With a rattling sound, countless chains instantly rushed into Feng Qing'er's body, instantly binding Feng Qing'er's Soul Body, turning into blackpatterns. turning into blackpatterns patterns.
"Ah!!" Feng Qing'er screamed in pain.
Soon, all the chains pierced into Feng Qing'er's Soul Body, and Xiao Yan withdrew his finger. At this moment, three black petal patterns appeared on Feng Qing'er's forehead, quickly disappearing.
Xiao Yan didn't learn this from Hun Xuzi, but from Qing Lin! Qing Lin's Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils could invade the Souls of the Serpent Clan, controlling their minds, turning them into snake slaves to be taken into the Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils space, extremely domineering and terrifying.
Xiao Yan was naturally very curious about this move. Unfortunately, Xiao Yan didn't have the Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils.
However, after some research, Xiao Yan actually combined his Pill Refining technique and the Soul Chasing of the Asura Soul Severing Technique, imitating the Azure Snake Three-Flower Pupils to develop a new move for the Asura Soul Severing Technique!
With a *whoosh, the chains suspending Feng Qing'er's hands disappeared, and Feng Qing'er fell onto the black mist with a thud*. She didn't know what Xiao Yan had done to her; at this moment, she only felt fear in her heart.
Xiao Yan slowly squatted down, lifted Feng Qing'er's chin, and said softly, "If you harbor any malice towards me, your Soul will suffer the pain of ten thousand swords piercing it. As for if you attack me, I think you wouldn't want to know what the consequences would be."
At this moment, Feng Qing'er didn't have any thoughts in her heart; she was just filled with regret and fear. Why did she have to encounter this man!
"Alright, now you can tell me some things I'm curious about. For example, why did the Void Ancient Dragon Clan suddenly disappear without a trace? Does their clan have any fugitives who escaped from their Territory? I'm very curious about the Void Ancient Dragon Clan."
This was Xiao Yan's real purpose! The moment he learned that Feng Qing'er was from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race, Xiao Yan wanted to learn about the Void Ancient Dragon Clan from her.
If you wanted to know who knew the most about the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, it would definitely be their opponent, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race. Only the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race, who also lived in the Beast Domain, knew the most about the Void Ancient Dragon Clan's news.
It wasn't that Xiao Yan wasn't cautious; that was the Void Ancient Dragon Clan! Even the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race was so terrifying, with several Dou Sheng experts in their clan, so how terrifying would the Void Ancient Dragon Clan be?
What if Zi Yan was a criminal being hunted down by the Void Ancient Dragon Clan? Wouldn't he be committing suicide by going to the Beast Domain with Zi Yan?! Not long ago, Zi Yan had told Xiao Yan that she could vaguely sense the location of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan. Just like birds returning to their nests, they were born with the ability to sense the location of their nests.
Xiao Yan knew that he would have to go to the Beast Domain sooner or later, to the location of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, so he had to be careful.
What a coincidence that Feng Qing'er had walked right into his trap.
Before long, the black mist receded, and Xiao Yan retracted his Soul Robe and Soul Token. A ray of sunlight shone down, and Xiao Yan was still the same as before. It was as if that terrifying scene just now was a dream.
Xiao Yan frowned, his heart heavy, "The Void Ancient Dragon Race actually split... No wonder the Void Ancient Dragon Race disappeared without a trace. They were actually fighting a civil war!"
"They split into four Dragon Islands: East, South, West, and North. Besides that, some Void Ancient Dragon Race members didn't want to participate in the civil war and went out to travel... So, Zi Yan might have been born to Void Ancient Dragons who were traveling."
"But what about her parents? Were they afraid Zi Yan would be affected by the civil war, so they left her in the wild, and then died in the war?"
"As long as she's not the child of fugitives, it's fine, but with the Void Ancient Dragon Race in civil war, is taking Zi Yan back a good thing?"
Xiao Yan was speechless. Why start a civil war for no reason!
If Xiao Yan took Zi Yan back now, wouldn't he be barging into the battlefield? "Going back for a look and asking about her parents is fine, right? They wouldn't force such a little girl like Zi Yan to join the army, would they?" Xiao Yan stroked his chin. Zi Yan's combat power was more of a burden than anything.
Seeing Xiao Yan deep in thought, Feng Qing'er clenched her sleeves. She wanted to get away from this demon, but she didn't dare. The pride of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Race was nothing in front of a Soul Palace Venerable!
Not to mention, this was an Eighth Grade Soul Palace Alchemist! And she was under the Soul Palace's control!
In Central State, the Soul Palace was the nightmare of all cultivators! Everyone hated the Soul Palace Venerables, but everyone feared them.
In Central State, many Soul Palace Venerables had Soul Jade Pendants. If they were defeated, they could immediately call for reinforcements. The Nine Tian Zuns were even more terrifyingly powerful, each capable of destroying a massive force.
The Soul Palace Hall Master's strength was unfathomable. Rumor had it that the Soul Palace Hall Master killed people like flies, and no living person had ever seen him!
This Xiao Yan was an Eighth Grade Alchemist, so his status in the Soul Palace must be very high.
Just as Feng Qing'er was at a loss, Xiao Yan suddenly grabbed her neck, and Strange Flame surged in his hand.
"Thunder Venerable, you can gamble and see if I kill her faster, or if you can stop me in time."
Xiao Yan's eyes blazed as he locked onto a space in the distance. The next moment, lightning flashed in that space, and crackling sounds came from the space passage.
Thunder Venerable's face was gloomy as he stared at Xiao Yan. He was now one hundred percent certain that Xiao Yan was an Eighth Grade Alchemist!
He hadn't even arrived yet, and Xiao Yan had already noticed him, leaving him no chance to attack! The Spirit Realm Soul power of an Eighth Grade Alchemist was truly terrifying.
But seeing that Feng Qing'er was still alive, the worst-case scenario had been avoided.
Before Thunder Venerable could speak, the space beside Xiao Yan twisted, and the boyish Heavenly Flame Venerable emerged from the space passage.
"Yao Lao, you can't even beat this guy?" Xiao Yan said helplessly.
What the hell? How did you let this old thing out! "That guy's Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body is quite something when it comes to escaping."
Heavenly Flame Venerable was also helpless. In terms of strength, Thunder Venerable was naturally no match for him, but Thunder Venerable knew the Three Thousand Lightning Illusion Body and could create clones that were almost as strong as the original.
Although Heavenly Flame Venerable directly blasted the clone to death with the Five Round Li Fire Method, Thunder Venerable still managed to escape! When it came to escaping, Thunder Venerable was indeed quite capable.
Seeing Feng Qing'er in Xiao Yan's hands, even though the Flame Alliance had smashed his Wind and Thunder Pavilion to pieces and the Northwest Pavilion Master had been injured by Heavenly Flame Venerable, Thunder Venerable could only force a smile and said, "Hehe, Flame Grandmaster, Heavenly Flame Venerable, my Wind and Thunder Pavilion absolutely has no intention of being enemies with the Flame Alliance. I apologize for any offense I've caused."
Seeing Thunder Venerable give in, Xiao Yan's eyes darted around. Could he extort something from him?!
"No need to apologize to me. Talk to me about money." Xiao Yan said with a nonchalant expression.
Flame Venerable doesn't need apologies, talk money.
The strong are respected, and business comes first. Flame Venerable is focused on his career!
Don't talk about feelings, talk about money!
