Chapter 172 Heading to Huazong
A few days later, Danta Library."Tsk tsk, this old monster Xu is really strong. He can even refine ninth-grade precious elixirs..." Xiao Yun kept exclaiming in amazement. What he was reading now was a book of alchemy notes from ancient times. The person who left the notes could be regarded as a ninth-grade alchemy master.
Strictly speaking, the eighth-grade alchemy badge is the highest honor for an alchemist, because above the eighth grade, it is no longer something that Danta can issue. None of them need the proof of the alchemist badge, but they can be on par with the strong men at the Dousheng level.
"Oh, what a pity that I can only read it for two days. It would be better if I could read it for a few more days." Xiao Yun said regretfully as he reluctantly put the book back on the bookshelf. Being able to learn the experience and lessons of other high-level alchemists is something that cannot be replaced by any number of pill recipes.
He only watched here for two days, and his understanding of alchemy was deepened a lot.
"It's not that difficult. If you are willing to take over my job, you can stay in the Dan Tower as long as you want."
When Xiao Yun was sighing, an old voice suddenly came, and Xuan Kongzi was standing aside and said with a smile.
"Mr. Xuan."
Apparently he was so absorbed in reading that he didn't even notice when Xuan Kongzi arrived.
"Forget it. Right now, I still want to travel around the continent." Xiao Yun shook his head. He was not interested in the power that ordinary people dreamed of. Compared to managing Danta, he would rather travel around the continent with Xiao Yixiang.
"Okay, you're just like that old guy Yao Chen, you don't like to meddle in other people's business." Xiao Yun's refusal was within Xuan Kongzi's expectations. He walked over slowly and said in a deep voice, "I heard from Yao Chen that you want to go to Hua Zong, right?"
"Well, Elder Xuan, after the matter of Hua Zong is resolved, perhaps I will not return to Danta for the time being, but travel around the continent with Xian'er."
"Traveling around the continent? With your current strength, it is enough." Upon hearing this, Xuan Kongzi nodded slightly. With the cultivation level of Dou Zun, the world is so big that he can go anywhere. He was not worried about Xiao Yun's safety.
"It's time, let's go out, and you should say goodbye to Yao Chen and the others."
After leaving the library, Xiao Yun found Yao Lao and Huo Lao, said a brief goodbye to them, and rejected Huo Lao's suggestion to accompany him. Then he took Xiao Yixian with him, found Nalan Yanran and the others, and headed straight towards Hua Zong.
According to the map, Hua Zong is located in the northwest of Zhongzhou, in the upper left corner of Danyu. The journey is not too far. It only takes five or six days to get there by taking the space channel.
……
In the city of Shengdan, there is a courtyard in a remote area. In the eyes of outsiders, it is just an ordinary courtyard, but its rooms are filled with eerie and terrifying energy fluctuations.
"call!"
Suddenly, the void in the spacious room was torn apart, and then a thick black mist poured out from it and transformed into a black-robed figure standing on the ground.
"Has Xiao Yun left Shengdan City today?" A hoarse and old voice came out from under the black robe, as if it had magic, and the air around it was frozen.
"That's right, elder. According to our spies in the Dan Tower, Xiao Yun was talking with the people from the Hua Sect four days ago, and today, he followed the people from the Hua Sect to the space channel." On the ground, an old man in black was kneeling on one knee, reporting the information respectfully.
"So, Xiao Yun is heading to Hua Zong?" Upon hearing this, the black-robed figure slowly raised his head from under the hood. A darkness enveloped him, and only two blood-red rays of fierce light could be seen. He looked in the direction of the space passage and spoke in an extremely cold voice:
“How can such a young 8th-rank alchemy master not work for our Soul Palace? Since that old fellow Yao Chen refuses to leave Shengdan City, let’s start with his disciples!” After saying that, the black-robed figure looked at the old man kneeling on one knee on the ground and continued, “You continue to stay in Shengdan City to monitor until Yao Chen leaves Shengdan City!”
"Yes! I obey my orders!"
The black-robed figure nodded slightly, waved his hand, tore the void apart again, and then slowly stepped into it.
……
In the space channel, Xiao Yun and his group, unaware that they had been targeted by the Soul Palace, were practicing silently in the spaceship.
Originally, with Xiao Yun's strength, he didn't need to take the space ship, but among the four people, there was one who only had the strength of a great fighting master, Nalan Yanran.
It is very dangerous for practitioners below the Dou Zong level to fly in the space channel in their physical bodies, so in order to take care of her, the three of them took a slower spaceship.
"So she is Nalan Yanran." In the room, Xiao Yixian looked at the beautiful girl at the bow and said in surprise. Before she met Xiao Yun, she had heard of Nalan Yanran's name several times from the mercenaries who traveled all over the country.
At that time, she was very envious of the former's talent and status, and was accepted as a personal disciple by the leader of the Yunlan Sect. Unexpectedly, when they met for the first time, their identities had changed drastically.
"That's right." Xiao Yun nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Originally, she could have become my sister-in-law, and then we could be considered a family."
As the two were talking, they suddenly noticed that the space channel began to tremble violently, as if encountering a space storm, and the space ship felt shaky.
Before Xiao Yun could go out to check, a voice filled with coldness came from outside into the room.
"Is Master Xiao Yun here? We are under the order of the Palace Master and would like to invite you to our Soul Palace as a guest."
Hearing this cold voice, Xiao Yun and Xiao Yixian's faces changed. They pushed open the door and looked up at the source of the voice.
"I didn't expect that Yao Lao actually guessed it right..."
He looked up and saw that a space crack had appeared in the originally flawless silver-white space channel. Strong space fluctuations were constantly sweeping out of it, which was also the reason why the space ship was constantly shaking.
In front of the space crack, there was a group of people standing in the air. The person in the front was wearing a blue robe, and even his hair and eyebrows were light blue. His eyes seemed to contain endless water energy.
Just simply looking at Xiao Yun made him feel an inexplicable pressure in his heart.
"Master Xiao." At this moment, Hua Kui also came over with Nalan Yanran. She looked at the blue-robed figure in the sky with some fear, but her voice was firm: "Master Xiao, I have sent a distress signal to the sect. As long as we can hold on until the sect elders come..."
“Haha, no need to bother.” Although Hua Kui’s voice was not loud, it was still heard by the blue-robed figure. He sneered and said lightly, “I forgot to say that I am the Ninth Heavenly Lord of the Soul Palace, or the Demon Rain Heavenly Lord!”
"Jiutian Zun!"
Hearing this, Hua Kui, who had originally wanted to resist, turned extremely pale in an instant, and trembled as she said, "Soul Palace Jiu Tian Zun, I heard that he already had the strength of an eight-star Dou Zun more than ten years ago..."
Seeing Hua Kui's doomed look, Xiao Yun shook his head slightly. The Hua Sect had been in seclusion for too long, and even some of the elders inside had become somewhat bloodless.
"Xian'er, you and Elder Huakui should protect yourself later." After giving instructions to Little Medical Fairy, Xiao Yun's body shook slightly, and he flew into the air, facing Mo Yu Tianzun from a distance.
"What if I don't want to be a guest at the Soul Palace?"
“Haha, this is not up to you! I know you want to delay time, but don’t waste your energy. With your three-star Dou Zun strength, you are no match for me!”
“Although the Palace Master said that he wants you to be alive, you should know that as long as he has one breath left, he is also alive. You’d better go with me obediently to avoid suffering.” The azure eyes of Demon Rain Lord were narrowed, flashing with dangerous light.
"That's really..." Xiao Yun nodded slightly. Before he could finish his words, he suddenly made a move and a pitch-black fire dragon rushed directly towards the people from the Soul Palace.
Then, a brilliant thunder burst out from his body, and the low thunder sound resounded in the space channel. His figure rushed towards the Soul Palace group like lightning.
"It seems that you have chosen to suffer a little!"
Seeing Xiao Yun's attack, Mo Yu Tianzun had an expressionless face. He just casually waved his right palm, and the azure blue fighting spirit surged out. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a giant palm one hundred feet high, and slapped the fire dragon down fiercely.
"You two, go and capture the people on the space ship!" Mo Yu Tianzun ordered the two Black and White Dou Zuns behind him. Then, as if he had eyes behind him, he stretched out his hand and easily took Xiao Yun's punch filled with thunder.
"Yes, my lord!"
Black and White Dou Zun bowed slightly, then walked around Mo Yu and Xiao Yun and headed straight for the spaceship.
