Chapter 323: Return to the Snake Empire
"By the way, big brother, how is the situation in the Snake Empire?"
Hearing Xiao Ze's words, Xiao Yan frowned, remembered for a moment, and said, "When the Blue Cloud Sect occupied the Jia Ma Empire aggressively, they first attacked the surrounding empires. They destroyed a small empire with overwhelming force, and the other surrounding empires didn't dare to resist, choosing to submit to the Blue Cloud Sect. But the Snake Empire was an exception because it's in the Tagore Desert, where conditions are harsh, so few people are interested in it."
Hearing this, Medusa let out a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected that the forced migration of the Snake Empire to the Tagore Desert would save their lives; truly, fortune can come disguised as misfortune.
"After that, no more news came from the Snake Empire, mainly because the anti-Blue Cloud Sect alliance didn't have strong intelligence capabilities."
Xiao Yan, with a serious expression, said, "But don't get too happy too soon. Since Yun Shan regained control of the Blue Cloud Sect, things have gotten strange."
Xiao Ze showed a hint of interest in his eyes, "Strange? How so?"
"The Blue Cloud Sect has mastered a secret technique that can quickly train strong fighters. It seems to have the ability to devour others and increase its own power."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, everyone was shocked. They hadn't expected it to be such a sinister secret technique!
"Devouring others to increase their own power. The Blue Cloud Sect is openly spreading this evil technique. How have they not provoked the northwest continent to rise against them?"
Xiao Ze expressed his bewilderment. In theory, these evil techniques are exterminated by everyone. Because if they're not stopped in their early stages of weakness, once they grow fully, they will be a great disaster. Like the Blood Demon Manual Xiao Ze obtained earlier, which is perfected through killing. These evil techniques, without exception, cause enormous amounts of deaths and injuries.
"The Blue Cloud Sect seems to have the backing of another force, so the strong powers of the northwest continent don't dare to act against them."
Xiao Yan said slowly. In addition to his own observations, Yao Lao's vast experience was also very helpful.
"Besides the strong ones from the Blue Cloud Sect, there are some strange beings hidden in the black mist who use chains."
Hearing this description, Qing Lin murmured softly, "That sounds like people from the Hall of Souls."
Xiao Yan was astonished, looking at the others in the room. They all seemed aware of the existence of the Hall of Souls.
Yao Lao said in Xiao Yan's mind, "Xiao Yan, did you forget that they came from the central continent? The name of the Hall of Souls may be rare in the northwest continent, but in the central continent, it's one of the most well-known main forces."
Yao Lao had no intention of hiding anymore. Those present could, to some extent, perceive his existence. Even Xiao Ze had noticed his presence a long time ago, so now Yao Lao had no reservations, speaking directly to Xiao Yan. As long as Xiao Ze and the others didn't reveal him, he would remain in the ring.
"It should be the Hall of Souls. The power of the Hall of Souls extends across the continent, not just active in the central continent." Xiao Ze responded to Qing Lin.
"If it's the Hall of Souls, that's a problem. Those beings, neither human nor ghost, love to hunt soul bodies," Qing Lin said with concern.
"The power of the Hall of Souls in the northwest continent shouldn't be strong. Otherwise, with the power they showed when fighting against the Pill Tower, they shouldn't be acting so discreetly."
Xiao Ze shook his head, turning to look at Xiao Yan, who was full of curiosity.
Xiao Ze smiled slightly and explained to Xiao Yan about the previous conflict between the Pill Tower and the Hall of Souls.
"I see, the power of the Hall of Souls is really terrifying." Xiao Yan nodded with an understanding expression, his heart feeling heavier. For his master, Xiao Yan was destined to oppose the Hall of Souls. Seeing the Hall of Souls' power so formidable only increased his pressure.
Xiao Ze chatted with Xiao Yan for a while longer, then noticed that Medusa seemed uneasy and anxious.
Xiao Ze thought for a moment and said to Medusa, "I'll go with you to the Snake Empire to see how things are."
Then, he turned to Qing Lin, "We still need a Dou Zun to maintain order here, Qing Lin, you stay to take care of things."
Qing Lin nodded, while Medusa sighed in relief.
"Big brother, the situation is urgent. I can't stay for the Xiao family celebration. We can celebrate when I return."
Xiao Yan understood and said, "Of course, lives come first. The Snake Empire is under the control of the Blue Cloud Sect; anything could happen."
After saying goodbye to Medusa and the others, Xiao Ze hurriedly set off for the Snake Empire.
As for the academy, it would have to wait until after dealing with the Blue Cloud Sect before he could return and catch up.
Xiao Ze and Medusa traveled through the spatial tunnel. The Black-Corner Territory and the Jia Ma Empire are quite far apart; even riding an ordinary flying magical beast would take several months. But using the spatial tunnel, they could save a lot of time, only needing a few days to arrive.
After Xiao Ze and Medusa left, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin discussed and decided to start preparing to face the Blue Cloud Sect's expansion. They couldn't rely solely on Xiao Ze to stop the Blue Cloud Sect's expansion; they would need the help of the entire Dark Alliance.
Compared to the size of the territory, a hundred Dark Alliances couldn't compare to the Blue Cloud Sect. After all, the Blue Cloud Sect had swept through the surrounding empires, becoming the dominant power of the northwest continent. Meanwhile, the Dark Alliance was restricted to a small territory in the Black-Corner Territory; compared to the Blue Cloud Sect, they were insignificant.
But in the Dou Qi continent, the strong rule. According to Xiao Yan, Yun Shan's power hadn't surpassed the Dou Zun level. Otherwise, the anti-Blue Cloud Sect alliance wouldn't have survived. And on the side of the Dark Alliance, they had Qing Lin, a strong Dou Zun. Moreover, with the special ability of Qing Lin's Three Flower Eyes, she controlled many powerful magical beasts, making her a formidable force.
In terms of absolute power, they were not really inferior to the Blue Cloud Sect.
Xiao Yi Xian took the latest intelligence report and smiled with satisfaction, turning to Qing Lin. "The Blue Cloud Sect's expansion has reached the Black-Corner Territory. Although Black-Corner is a lawless land, it's also full of disorganized groups that can't resist the Blue Cloud Sect's expansion."
Qing Lin nodded, taking the report and quickly reviewing it. "We'll have to rely on ourselves. But it seems the report doesn't mention Yun Shan."
"Although Yun Shan is the leader of the Blue Cloud Sect, he rarely appears in expansion wars, preferring to stay at the Blue Cloud Sect headquarters," Xiao Yi Xian explained.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Blue Cloud Sect headquarters is in the Jia Ma Empire."
"If we're lucky, Xiao Ze might be able to take them down directly. Capturing the leader could crumble the Blue Cloud Sect."
"Let's hope so."
Xiao Yi Xian began to give orders meticulously, while Qing Lin assisted her and learned. They planned to take advantage of this Blue Cloud Sect expansion to clean up the forces in the Black-Corner Territory, making it easier for the Dark Alliance to take control.
