Chapter 83: Soul Hall!
Yun Lan Sect, back mountains.
On a cliff, the figure of Gu He appeared out of thin air.
Unfurling his soul power and sensing that there was no one around, Gu He's mind moved, and he began to form hand seals.
His hands danced, and mysterious symbols emerged one by one from Gu He's hands.
In an instant, dozens of symbols gathered between Gu He's fingers.
As these mysterious symbols converged, a dazzling starry pattern appeared in the void.
Then, a sharp neigh echoed from the starry sky, and an elegant yet enormous figure slowly emerged.
The Vermillion Bird's phantom, covered in red flames, exuded an extremely violent and scorching aura, like a colossal beast covering the sky, as if it could burn the entire world.
Staring at this phantom in the void, Gu He's body trembled slightly, excitement showing in his eyes.
"Indeed, it's a high-level Earth-tier combat skill. With such power, I'm afraid even Dou Ancestor level experts wouldn't dare to confront it head-on."
Afterward, Gu He's mind moved, urging the Vermillion Bird's phantom to blast towards the cliff below.
Swoosh!
With a high-pitched neigh, the colossal Vermillion Bird's phantom in the void turned into a pillar of fiery red light, thundering towards the bottom of the cliff.
At the same time, Gu He's figure flashed, directly leaving the back mountain cliff. When he appeared again, he was back in his own courtyard.
Although he returned to his courtyard, Gu He's soul power remained at the cliff.
Only a deafening roar echoed from below the cliff, and towering flames rose from the bottom.
Crack!
The next moment, under the tremendous energy shock, the cliff could not bear the weight, directly shattering into countless fragments, falling towards the bottom of the cliff.
As the cliff was destroyed, Gu He slowly retracted his soul power, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He was quite satisfied with the power unleashed by the Vermillion Bird Seal.
Just after the loud explosion, a stream of moon-white light quickly descended on the edge of the cliff.
It was an old man with white hair, a face showing signs of aging, emitting a terrifying aura belonging to the pinnacle of the Nine-Star Dou Emperor realm.
"So rich in fire attribute energy!"
The old man looked at the destroyed cliff, a hint of solemnity on his aged face.
"Who exactly appeared in the back mountains of Yun Lan Sect?"
"What is this person's intention?"
"Is it a demonstration?"
Feeling the powerful aura lingering in the void, the old man's expression gradually became somewhat gloomy.
At this moment, a thick black mist appeared out of thin air next to the old man.
"Hehehe, it seems that, with such power, the strength of the newcomer may have already reached the Dou Ancestor realm. Unexpectedly, there is such a powerhouse hidden in the Jia Ma Empire!"
"However, I wonder, is this person a friend or a foe to your Yun Lan Sect? It seems that your position in the Jia Ma Empire is not as stable as you think."
A bizarre voice came from within the black mist, full of mockery.
Upon hearing the voice from the black mist, the old man's face became even darker.
The existence within the black mist seemed not to care about the gloom on the old man's face. The eerie voice continued, "How about it, Yun Shan, this guardian will give you another chance. As long as you cooperate with this guardian, within two years, I will surely help you break through to the Dou Ancestor realm. In this way, the position of your Yun Lan Sect in the Jia Ma Empire can continue to be stable. You might even be able to eliminate the royal family and unify the entire Jia Ma Empire with a single stroke!"
"This guardian's patience is limited. If you continue to procrastinate, aren't you afraid that this guardian will approach the Jia Ma royal family? This guardian believes that the old guy, Emperor Jia Ma, should be very willing to cooperate with this guardian."
Upon hearing this, the old man's complexion changed.
If this archenemy, Emperor Jia Ma, broke through to the Dou Ancestor realm, the position of Yun Lan Sect in the Jia Ma Empire would truly be in jeopardy.
After hesitating for a moment, the old man said with some seriousness, "Can you really help me break through to the Dou Ancestor realm within two years?"
"Hehehe, it seems you still don't trust this guardian... A mere Dou Ancestor realm, what does it matter to the Soul Palace? If it weren't for this guardian having a mission and needing the power of your Yun Lan Sect, even if you kneel down and beg, this guardian wouldn't bother with you," the voice in the black mist said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Yun Shan fell into silence. After a moment, he slowly nodded and said, "Fine, I promise you!"
"Hehehe, you finally see the light. Rest assured, on the day you break through to the Dou Ancestor realm, you will absolutely not regret the decision you made today," a somewhat triumphant laughter came from the black mist.
Yun Shan nodded faintly and said, "I hope so."
As his words fell, Yun Shan's figure turned into a white light and disappeared on the cliff.
The black mist circled around the cliff before gradually disappearing into the void.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a Dou Ancestor powerhouse hidden in the Jia Ma Empire. I wonder who this sacred person is..." a strange murmur emanated from the black mist.
Meanwhile, unknown to Gu He, the massive explosion from the back mountains of Yun Lan Sect not only led to Yun Shan agreeing to cooperate with the Soul Palace ahead of schedule but also attracted the attention of many elders of Yun Lan Sect.
Several elders arrived at the cliff, looking at the destroyed cliff with astonishment on their faces.
Various thoughts emerged in their minds.
"Could there be a terrifying monster in the back mountains?"
"Could there be a peerless expert passing through Yun Lan Sect?"
Various strange speculations flashed through the minds of the elders of Yun Lan Sect.
The initiator of all this, at this moment, was leisurely sitting in the pavilion of his courtyard, enjoying tea with a satisfied expression.
At this moment, Gu He's expression changed slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. "What is this old guy coming to me for?"
After a while, a senior in a moon-white robe slowly arrived outside Gu He's courtyard.
"Ge Ye requests an audience with Elder Gu He!"
This elderly person in moon-white robes was none other than Ge Ye, the Outer Sect steward of Yun Lan Sect.
"Come in."
After Ge Ye's words fell silent for a moment, Gu He's faint voice came from the courtyard.
Upon hearing this, Ge Ye respectfully entered the courtyard.
"Ge Ye pays respects to Elder Gu He!"
Approaching the pavilion, Ge Ye respectfully saluted Gu He.
"I wonder why Steward Ge Ye has come here." Gu He put down the tea cup in his hand and asked with some confusion.
Ge Ye responded, "Elder Gu He, the Miteer family has sent someone just now, saying that they have matters to discuss with you at the Miteer Auction House."
"The Miteer family?"
Upon hearing this, Gu He was slightly stunned, then immediately thought of the agreement with Miteer Tengshan on that day.
Could it be that he has already gathered the medicinal ingredients for the Qingming Longevity Pill?
