Chapter 351: Deceiving the Revered Elder of the Soul Hall!
"Yiya Yiya, Master has arrived!"
In the back mountain of the Yunlan Sect, within the Nine-Colored Valley, the small figure of Cai'er suddenly began to jump excitedly.
Hearing Cai'er's words, a look of joy immediately appeared on Qinglin's face. The Flame Dragon and Black Scale, who were in the middle of cultivation, also stood up.
Then, under the gaze of the group, the space in front of Qinglin and Cai'er suddenly distorted violently. In the next moment, Gu He and Yun Yun stepped out from the twisted space together.
"Master! Mistress!"
"Master! Mistress!"
As soon as Gu He and Yun Yun appeared, four respectful voices echoed through the valley.
Hearing their greetings, Gu He and Yun Yun smiled faintly and nodded slightly.
Currently, the energy within the Nine-Colored Valley was several times richer than when Gu He had left. No wonder Flame Dragon and Black Scale had immediately focused on cultivation upon their return to the Yunlan Sect.
Yun Yun was astonished by the richness of the surrounding energy. If Gu He hadn't brought her here this time, she wouldn't have known that such a miraculous place existed within the Yunlan Sect.
"That must be the Nine-Colored Green Lotus that my husband mentioned!"
After carefully scanning the surroundings, Yun Yun's gaze settled on a large Nine-Colored Green Lotus.
"Master, these are the Longevity Pearls I’ve collected over this period, and those Bloodthirsty Poison Cicadas have also grown considerably," Qinglin said, placing a large number of jade bottles on a stone table in front of her.
However, Gu He didn't pay much attention to the more than 300 jade bottles. The tasks he had given Qinglin back then were merely to keep her from getting too bored. After glancing at the bottles, he praised her, "Qinglin, it seems you've completed the tasks I assigned to you well, and you've also made significant progress in your cultivation of the Heavenly Snake Technique."
Qinglin felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing Gu He's praise.
After chatting for a while, Gu He transferred some of his energy to Qinglin, raising her cultivation level to a three-star Dou Master.
Although a three-star Dou Master might not seem very impressive among Gu He's disciples, it's important to remember that Qinglin was the youngest, and she had only been cultivating for less than two years, starting from an ordinary person. Her speed could be considered monstrous, unmatched even by some of the most talented geniuses of imperial families.
Of course, with Gu He as her extraordinary master, each of his disciples could look down on all the geniuses of the world. Among them, Queen Medusa had the highest cultivation, having broken through to the peak of the nine-star Dou Ancestor. Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian had both reached the Dou Emperor realm. Han Yue and Liu Ling were Dou Kings, and Nalan Yanran was on the verge of breaking through to the Dou King level. Moreover, all of Gu He's disciples had the strength to fight beyond their level.
After transferring energy to Qinglin, Gu He also gave her some pills to aid her cultivation, and the system rewarded him with two excellent sixth-grade pills in return.
...
"Yun'er, from now on, you will cultivate on this Nine-Colored Green Lotus. It will definitely help you improve your strength rapidly."
After rewarding Qinglin, Gu He led Yun Yun to the Nine-Colored Green Lotus and helped her sit on the lotus platform.
"Mistress, the energy here is incredibly abundant!"
As soon as Yun Yun sat on the lotus platform, the Yun You within her let out a joyful cry.
The effect of cultivating here was dozens of times faster than in ordinary places.
...
As Gu He was leading Yun Yun into the Nine-Colored Valley for cultivation, his other self, a soul clone, finally arrived at a location a hundred miles outside the branch hall of the Soul Hall in the Black-Corner Region.
According to the information from his soul clone, the respected elder of the Soul Hall who had returned to the Black-Corner Region had been investigating the mysterious annihilation of numerous forces within the region.
The Black-Corner Region was vast, and Gu He was naturally too lazy to search for him personally. So, three days earlier, he had his soul clone find an excuse to lure the elder back.
At this moment, outside the branch hall of the Soul Hall at Burial Ridge, the soul clone, disguised as Protector Yun, stood respectfully before a frail, emaciated old man in a black robe. This old man, the only respected elder of this branch hall, had reached the peak of the four-star Dou Ancestor level, and he directly oversaw more than ninety percent of the Soul Hall's protectors in the entire Northwestern Continent.
"The fact that those forces in the Black-Corner Region were wiped out by someone impersonating us is obvious. Aren’t you just stating the obvious?" The black-robed elder's eyes gleamed coldly as he looked at "Protector Yun," his tone carrying a hint of displeasure.
"Please, Elder, calm down. Of course, I didn't come here just to tell you such trivial information!"
Seeing the elder’s displeasure, "Protector Yun" quickly explained, "Elder, you must have heard about the Fallen Heart Flame being stolen from Jia Nan Academy, right? According to my investigation, I discovered traces of the Fallen Heart Flame in a mountain range a thousand miles away from Jia Nan Academy!"
"The mysterious person who stole the Fallen Heart Flame is surely the same person who impersonated our Soul Hall!"
"Oh? So you’re saying that since the Fallen Heart Flame is hidden there, the mysterious person won't easily give it up? Once we get there, we’ll definitely catch him, and we might even obtain the Fallen Heart Flame as well!" The elder pondered over "Protector Yun’s" explanation.
Seeing that the black-robed elder was starting to believe him, "Protector Yun" seized the moment and suggested, "Elder, time is of the essence. Let me lead the way so we can catch that audacious mysterious person!"
"Very well!"
The black-robed elder nodded, and the two transformed into black mist, quickly soaring into the sky and heading away from Burial Ridge.
Soon, the two arrived in the sky above a location a hundred miles away from Burial Ridge. However, at this moment, "Protector Yun" suddenly slowed down and eventually came to a stop in mid-air.
Noticing this unusual behavior, the black-robed elder raised an eyebrow and also stopped. He then shouted, "Why have you suddenly stopped?"
At this time, hearing the elder's reprimand, "Protector Yun" showed no trace of the previous fear on his face. Instead, he sneered, "Heh, we’ve come far enough!"
As he finished speaking, the aura around "Protector Yun" surged abruptly, and he revealed a cultivation level of a three-star Dou Ancestor.
"Hmph, I’ve suspected something was off about you for a while, but I couldn't figure out why. I didn’t expect you to reveal yourself today!" Seeing the change in "Protector Yun," the black-robed elder was slightly surprised, but it didn’t stir much in his heart.
"Do you think that just because you can deal with a few Protectors, you can handle me?" The black-robed elder sneered.
"Since you’ve said that, I obviously wouldn't be coming alone!"
