Chương 247: Chapter 247: Hidden Title (2)

Protector Wu suspended in the air holding a black fog in his palm, with some fluctuations emanating from it, while Yao Lao's soul body was chained to his side.

The white flames persistently tried to burn the chains but to no avail.

Suddenly, Protector Wu's claws pierced through Yao Lao's body, and with a gloomy smile, he forced Yao Lao into the black fog. Gripping it tightly in his palm, he swiftly inserted it into a ring on his finger, after which he let out a sigh of relief.

'Jie Jie... even if there isn't another harvest, with this Yao Chen's soul, I will still be able to obtain the Hall Chief's reward. By then, my strength will definitely be able to reach the level of a Heaven Grade Protector. However, this is not enough, if I am able to capture the souls and Heavenly Flames of the strongest people here, reaching Dou Venerate is not impossible...'

Seeing Yao Lao being put into the ring, Xiao Yan's eyes dulled.

"I'll do what I can."

Xiao Ming frowned and slowly said, if there was nothing unexpected, it wouldn't be too difficult to retrieve Yao Lao from a Hall of Souls Protector.

"Yun Shan, join me in dealing with Xiao Ming."

After putting Yao Lao into the ring, Protector Wu said gloomily.

The powerful people in the square couldn't help but twitch their mouths when they heard this.

By God, it was no wonder that a strong person had suddenly appeared here, it turned out to be related to the Misty Cloud Sect!

"Protector Wu, this is a private matter of my Misty Cloud Sect, I'm afraid it's not too good for you to interfere, right?"

Although Xiao Ming and the Misty Cloud Sect had a conflict because of Xiao Yan, from the exchange of blows just now, at least it wasn't a life and death dispute, so there was still room for reconciliation.

Helping Protector Wu against Xiao Ming was not in line with the Misty Cloud Sect's usual manner.

However, since Protector Wu had once helped him break through to Dou Ancestor, Yun Shan's words were spoken rather tactfully.

"Hmph! Do you really think you're important? Don't forget who helped you break through to Dou Ancestor. Let me ask you again... are you going to do it?" Scarlet eyes appeared from the black fog in the sky, looking at Yun Shan with indifference.

Yun Shan's expression turned ugly upon hearing these words.

"That's impossible! I only promised to help you find some people."

"In that case, don't blame me! Originally, I was thinking of letting you live for a few more years, Jie Jie..." Protector Wu laughed as the black fog churned and a strange suction force erupted.

Yun Shan's body shook violently and he let out a miserable scream, at the same time, a slightly illusory white soul body slowly floated out of him.

But since he had not suffered any serious injuries, he had some resistance, and the speed at which his soul was sucked out was not too fast.

"Master!"

"Former Sect Leader!"

The members of the Misty Cloud Sect were shocked to see this, especially Yun Yun, who turned into a green shadow and rushed towards Yun Shan. But she was stopped by a smaller black fog, and the other Elders were also blocked by one black fog after another.

Xiao Ming's eyes showed gravity at the sight of Yun Shan's soul drifting away from his body. The Hall of Souls' methods on the soul were truly powerful, but he couldn't let Yun Shan's soul fall into Protector Wu's hands.

"Xian'er!"

As Xiao Ming spoke, Xiao Yi Xian moved with graceful lotus steps, stepping into the void with ease. A flood of majestic grey Dou Qi surged from her body, enveloping her in a menacing aura. The faint scent of decay emanating from the poisonous energy was in stark contrast to her delicate, fairy-like appearance, giving her beauty a sinister edge. The strong corrosive power within the Dou Qi made the air thick with a strange sourness, making it difficult to breathe.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Yi Xian's delicate jade hand quickly formed a seal, and a dark gray Dou Qi gushed out from inside her body like a fountain.

"Sky Corrosive Rain!"

The Dou Qi shot into the sky, quickly condensing into a layer of gray clouds. Countless raindrops of dark gray liquid then fell from the sky.

At first glance, these gray liquids seemed harmless, but if one looked closely, a faint black mark appeared in the empty space as the raindrops passed through it. The toxic raindrops dissipated before they hit the ground, turning into a wisp of poisonous gas that rose and penetrated the gray clouds. The gas then condensed back into raindrops and repeated the cycle endlessly.

Several black patches of fog streaking across the sky were drenched by the rain and screeched before dissolving into nothingness.

Plop! Plop!

Dense gray raindrops fell from the sky, and the heaviest rain was still on the spot where Protector Wu was standing!

"Hmm?"

Facing Xiao Yi Xian's attack, Protector Wu did not dare to be careless, the black fog surged, trying to defend against the rain.

However, the fog dissipated rapidly under the assault of the rain.

This surprised him a little, and even Yun Shan's soul-tugging diminished.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ming swiftly grabbed Xiao Yan's collar and instructed him to leave, throwing him into a small corner out of sight.

Then, ignoring him, Xiao Ming continued to concentrate on dissipating the fog.

After a few moments, the fog mostly dissipated, and he was able to hold Yun Shan's soul and introduce it back into his body.

However, his happiness was short-lived, as Yun Shan's soul emerged again.

"Jie jie jie, don't waste your efforts, my Hall of Souls' methods are not something that a bumpkin as you can decipher." Protector Wu watched Xiao Ming's movements out of the corner of his eye, then laughed out loud in mockery.

"Xian'er, I'll seal Yun Shan first. Take care of that fellow, no need to hold back."

In response, Xiao Yi Xian enveloped herself with highly poisonous Dou Qi and fiercely attacked Protector Wu.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ming formed a special seal on his hands, causing an invisible flame to appear.

As Xiao Ming's hand movements changed, the flame gradually turned into the character 'seal'.

As the word 'seal' appeared, he reintroduced Yun Shan's soul into his body, and before it could emerge again, he engraved the word 'seal' on the top of his head, integrating it!

As soon as Xiao Ming completed his actions, Protector Wu's expression changed.

His connection to Yun Shan's soul had been severed!

After launching a move that forced Xiao Yi Xian back briefly, he glared coldly at Xiao Ming.

"Good boy, you do have some tricks. But today, even if you have tricks, you will die! Protector Xuan, didn't you always want to deal with this boy? If not now, when?"

As soon as Protector Wu's words left his mouth, a laughter similar to his own suddenly rang out.

"Jie Jie Jie, Protector Wu, I told you that this boy is not easy to deal with."
