“Yanran, what realm have you reached?”

Seeing the black-robed man being suppressed by Xu Zong like a powerless baby in the blink of an eye, Yun Yun couldn’t help but ask in disbelief.

The enchanting queen beside her couldn’t help but cast a strange look at her, and Yunshan, who was lying in the corner, also looked at the scene in shock.

“Barely reached the Dou Zun level.”

Xu Zong said in a somewhat vague tone.

“Dou Zun!”

Yun Yun immediately took a cold breath.

The enchanting queen also trembled, looking at her in shock.

Seeing the reactions of the two, Xu Zong also knew that this kind of performance was too incredible.

She was only in her early twenties, not even twenty-four, and to become a powerhouse at the level of Dou Zun at such a young age was unheard of!

Even Xiao Yan, the son of destiny who had never lacked resources, only achieved the level of Dou Zun at around twenty-eight years old.

Xu Zong shook her head inwardly.

If they knew that she had already become a Dou Zun four years ago, they might be shocked to the point of losing their skirts.

The spiritual fruit was indeed formed by absorbing the energy of an entire planet, containing extremely pure and vast life energy. Just one fruit allowed her to break through from the Dou Zong level to the Dou Zun level within a year. In the four years that followed, she had directly reached the peak of the Dou Zun level!

Along the way, she also gave a piece of the fruit to Yun Yun, which elevated her from a three-star Dou Huang to a Dou Zong.

Even so, there was still more than ninety percent of the energy left in the spiritual fruit!

Eating this spiritual fruit, she didn’t know how many breakthroughs she could make in the Nine Transformation Saint Realm, at least eight or nine transformations.

“Let’s find the antidote first.”

Xu Zong took off the black-robed man’s storage ring, and her spiritual power surged into it, directly covering the imprint left by the black-robed man, and searched inside.

“Which one is the antidote?”

Xu Zong looked at the black-robed man and, using the soul power technique she had shared with her from the Xu Zong of the Manghuang, she immediately displayed the illusionist secret technique she had shared from the Swallowed Star Xu Zong. Instantly, a strong wave of hallucinatory soul power surged out and rushed towards the black-robed man, who was completely defenseless, and the eyes hidden under the hood instantly lost their luster.

“The jade bottle with the words ‘Soul Fragrance Powder’ is the antidote…”

Xu Zong took out the antidote from the storage ring and asked Yun Yun to give it to Yunshan.

After taking the antidote, Yunshan’s eyes gradually brightened, and her breath gradually recovered.

“This Soul Fragrance Powder actually has the effect of temporarily weakening the soul.”

Xu Zong checked the bottle of medicine with the words ‘Soul Fragrance Powder’ in the storage ring, and after a simple test, she couldn’t feel any abnormalities at all. It seemed that it was only effective for ordinary realm souls, but in general, those below the level of Dou Zun were only ordinary realm souls, so it was indeed effective for those below the level of Dou Zun.

There were many other elixirs in the storage ring, most of which were related to the soul, as well as two soul techniques, which were quite good.

“Speak, what conspiracy does your Soul Palace have?”

Xu Zong lazily looked at the black-robed man.

Under the cover of the soul power illusion, the black-robed man had a blank expression on his face and revealed the layout of the Soul Palace in the northwest continent.

It was nothing more than dispatching subordinates who were at the level of Dou Zun to infiltrate the main sects of various countries in the northwest, controlling the various sects and countries. It was simple and crude, but in this fantasy world, it was very effective when used by the Soul Clan, who were proficient in soul techniques. The efficiency was very high!

If the Cloud Mist Sect had not risen suddenly, Yunshan would have been controlled by the Soul Palace’s guardian using the Soul Heart Poison Technique, and in the end, the entire Cloud Mist Sect would have been forced to disband and become a mere dust in the river of history.

And these guardians of the Soul Palace were not only responsible for infiltrating various sects and countries, but also for collecting high-quality souls.

“How many countries around here have you controlled?”

Upon hearing this, Yunshan was shocked and hurriedly asked.

“I’m not sure, we are doing tasks in various countries at the same time.”

The black-robed man said blankly.

Yunshan and Yun Yun fell silent for a moment.

The Soul Palace was aggressive, and they had clearly investigated many forces in the northwest continent in advance. They were well-prepared, and they had many powerful experts. If the Cloud Mist Sect had not suddenly risen, they would probably have fallen victim to their hands.

It seemed that several countries around the Gamma Empire were also in for a hard time!

“What if the control fails?”

At this moment, the queen of the Medusa suddenly spoke up.

“If the control fails, we will mobilize the surrounding countries’ armies and launch a direct attack.”

The black-robed guardian of the Soul Palace said blankly.

“What?”

Yunshan’s expression changed drastically, and her face became very grim.

Yun Yun and the queen of the Medusa also frowned deeply.

Mobilize the surrounding countries’ armies and launch a direct attack if the control fails?

Doesn’t that mean that once the news of the failure to control the Cloud Mist Sect reaches the Soul Palace, the armies of various countries will immediately press towards the Gamma Empire?

Xu Zong remained unchanged.

“It’s okay, just gather all the forces controlled by the Soul Palace around here, so we don’t have to kill them one by one.”

Yun Yun and the others all looked at her.

Yunshan’s eyes lit up. That’s right, this disciple had quietly broken through to the realm of Dou Zun. The surrounding small countries only had some Dou Huang and Dou Zong level existences. Even if the Soul Palace’s power in the northwest was great, they wouldn’t send Dou Zun over. As long as their Cloud Mist Sect was here, the northwest continent would not be dominated by the Soul Palace!

That day, Yunshan rushed to the Gamma Imperial Family and informed the guardian of the imperial family, Jia Xingtian, of the Soul Palace’s plot. Soon, the entire Gamma Empire was in turmoil.

Xu Zong brought the black-robed man back to her cave and used the soul-searching secret technique.This Soul Search Secret Technique also exists in the vast world, and there are several different records of Soul Search Secret Techniques in the Immortal Palace. However, this technique requires one’s soul strength to be far stronger than the opponent’s, and if one is not careful, an error could turn the opponent into an idiot.

Xu Zong’s soul was at the Spirit Realm, a level usually only attained by a Dou Zun, surpassing the guardian of the Soul Hall, and with the addition of mental and soul strength, his soul force was far stronger than the opponent’s, thus he successfully performed the Soul Search.

After the Soul Search was completed, the black-robed guardian was of no use anymore and was killed by Xu Zong with a palm strike.

Xu Zong sat cross-legged on the spot for a moment, digesting the memories of the black-robed guardian, then his body flickered, becoming hazy, and his white robe transformed into a black one, his height also suddenly increased.

Lifting the hood, the face that appeared was that of an unfamiliar middle-aged man.

“This Eight-Nine Mystical Art is truly miraculous.”

The unfamiliar middle-aged man looked down at his own body and couldn’t help but let out a strange chuckle.

With a stretch of his hand, he tore open the void, his figure like an ancient dragon roaming through it, effortlessly crossing tens of thousands of miles to arrive outside an ancient temple located deep in the mountains.

“Wu Guardian, why have you returned? Weren’t you on a mission in the Gama Empire?”

Not long after entering the ancient temple, he saw a black-robed person coming towards him, looking at him with utter surprise.

“Don’t mention it, there’s been a big screw-up!”

Xu Zong imitated Wu Guardian’s tone, speaking with irritation.

“That Cloud Mist Sect actually has several Dou Zun powerhouses, I had no chance to control the Cloud Mist Sect, this matter still needs our branch temple’s lord to think of a solution!”

“Is that so?”

The black-robed person was startled upon hearing this, but then laughed.

“No worries, even if the Cloud Mist Sect has several Dou Zun powerhouses, our side has more Dou Zuns, not fewer! The surrounding Chu Yun Empire and Mu Lan Empire of the Gama Empire have already been successfully controlled, just send troops, and the Cloud Mist Sect can be wiped out with a flick of the hand, hehehe!”

“Well said, hehehe!”

Xu Zong also joined in the strange laughter.

“Speaking of which, although I didn’t manage to control the Cloud Mist Sect this time, I also made a breakthrough, successfully advancing to an Eight-Star Dou Zun!”

While laughing strangely, Xu Zong also released the aura of an Eight-Star Dou Zun.

“Amazing, with this, it won’t be long before you can become a Heavenly Guardian, right? We’ll need Wu Guardian to take care of us more in the future!”

The black-robed person was immediately astonished and complimented continuously.

“Where, where, we are all people of the Soul Hall, just doing things for the Soul Hall, hehehe!”

Xu Zong was very pleased in his heart.

Soul Extinguishing Life, Soul Emperor, Soul Hall, Soul Clan, I’m coming!

At this moment, in Xu Zong’s heart, there was already a very pleasant plan.

“Hehehe!”

…

Before long, the surrounding Chu Yun Empire, Mu Lan Empire, and Luo Yan Empire of the Gama Empire sent troops one after another, swarming towards the borders of the Gama Empire. Accompanying the army were the Poison Sect Master of the Chu Yun Empire, the Three Elders of the Mu Lan Valley of the Mu Lan Empire, the Gold Yan Sect Master of the Luo Yan Empire, and a top expert of the Soul Hall hidden in the shadows!

For a time, the Gama Empire was greatly shaken, and the Gama royal family immediately dispatched troops and generals. The old Marshal Nalan Jie of the Nalan family also took to the field, leading many soldiers of the Gama Empire, gathering at the Black Mountain Fortress on the border to resist the armies of various countries.

Inside the Cloud Mist Sect.

“Yanran, it’s time for us to set off!”

Yun Yun came to the cave dwelling in the back mountain and spoke to the disciple who was still in seclusion inside.

After a while, the door of the cave dwelling opened, and Nalan Yanran, dressed in white, walked out.

She looked exactly the same as the original in both appearance and temperament.

However, this Nalan Yanran was actually the second soul of the original.

“As expected, the Gama Empire is now engulfed in war, surely the Soul Hall is manipulating many countries and sects to invade our Gama Empire, we must also go to help.”

Yun Yun spoke with righteous indignation.

As the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, it was naturally her duty.

“Master, you go ahead, I’ll follow shortly.”

Xu Zong nodded in agreement with Yun Yun’s words.

But she shook her head again, causing Yun Yun to be taken aback.

“I have some matters to deal with, don’t worry, once I’m done, I’ll tear through the void and come over immediately.”

Xu Zong explained with a smile.

“That’s fine.”

Yun Yun understood, after all, this disciple was already a Dou Zun, moving freely within the territory of the Gama Empire without needing her reminders.

Yun Yun quickly led the disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect out of the sect, heading to the Black Mountain Fortress to support the Gama Empire’s army.

Meanwhile, Xu Zong stepped out, his figure entering the void, directly traversing through space, arriving at Wu Tan Town.

Outside Wu Tan Town.

“Wu Guardian, this mission to seize the treasures from the Xiao family is truly as easy as it gets!”

A group of figures in black robes descended slowly from the sky, one of them chuckling with pleasure.
