Chương 287: Chapter 286: Ice River Valley, Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe

Seeing that the man in purple was indifferent to what he had said, as if his words had fallen on deaf ears, Yin Yun's face turned ugly.

"Your Excellency, don't think our Harmonious Bond Sect is easily intimidated!"

But what he got in response was another attack from the man in purple.

...

Inside the inn, Xiao Ming observed Qing Lin's skillful control of the Purple Soul Flame Serpent with satisfaction.

He had already taught her the soul technique earlier, and now her control over the Purple Soul Flame Serpent was obviously more skillful.

"Xiao Ming, should I also join the fight?" Xiao Yi Xian's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent as she felt the energy fluctuations outside.

"Go ahead," Xiao Ming nodded.

The gap between each star in the Dou Ancestor realm was huge, but if the gap was only one star, it would be difficult to hold back the enemy if they wanted to escape.

With two Dou Ancestors present, the members of the Harmonious Bond Sect had no chance of survival.

Seeing Xiao Ming nod, Xiao Yi Xian immediately walked out of the inn.

Outside the inn, in a matter of moments, many of the powerful members of the Harmonious Bond Sect were killed or injured.

Yin Yun's injuries had also significantly increased.

'Damn it, the enemy is too powerful!' Yin Yun's teeth were gritted in frustration as he gazed at the Purple Soul Flame Serpent.

In a regular confrontation between a four-star and five-star Dou Ancestor, coupled with the aid of a Dou Emperor, things wouldn't have been this embarrassing.

But the Harmonious Bond Sect was far from being decent; they cultivated a wicked cultivation technique known as the "Inverted Phoenix Cultivation Technique" which could only be cultivated with the aid of women.

The progress of this technique in the early stages was very rapid, but its practice required the "cooperation" of a large number of women, leading to the Harmonious Bond Sect's unsavory reputation. However, the sect had always been cautious and avoided provoking major forces, relying on cowardice to ensure their safety.

But the "Inverted Phoenix Cultivation Technique" had its limitations. The farther one advanced, the harder it became to progress, and the resulting Dou Qi wasn't as solid as that produced by normal techniques. Therefore, Yin Yun was among the weaker four-star Dou Ancestors.

So, for him, it was difficult to resist a magical beast whose battle power was stronger than that of a human of the same realm, and whose realm was superior to him.

'We can't continue like this!' Looking at the severely injured and dying sect experts beside him, Yin Yun gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Retreat quickly!"

After saying this, Yin Yun collided with the Purple Soul Flame Serpent with a palm.

The huge force transmitted between the palms made Yin Yun's hand tremble uncontrollably. However, with the help of this force, he quickly fled towards the distance.

Other strong members of the Harmonious Bond Sect saw the Former Sect Master running away and immediately fled towards the distance.

"Sky Poison Formation!"

A gray mist spread out from Yin Yun's front and enveloped the fleeing members of the Harmonious Bond Sect.

"This type of fluctuation... It's another Dou Ancestor powerhouse! What the hell is this?!" Yin Yun's face became extremely unpleasant.

Just then, the figure of Xiao Yi Xian appeared slowly in front of Yin Yun and the others.

"How is this possible? You're actually a Dou Ancestor!" Yin Yun saw Xiao Yi Xian's face clearly, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Xiao Yi Xian looked at him coldly, and without saying a word, directly made her move.

In an instant, violent energy fluctuations spread outside the inn.

When a Dou Ancestor powerhouse took action, it was no ordinary thing. Otherwise, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin would not have intentionally tried to keep the battle in the sky above the city, as the inn would have been destroyed long ago.

Just as the energy fluctuations outside the inn were beginning to calm down, Xiao Ming suddenly sensed something and stood up immediately.

Looking at the innkeeper who was trembling in the corner, Xiao Ming took out a bag of gold coins from his spatial ring and threw it in front of him.

"These should be enough to compensate for your losses. Zi Yan, Qing Lin, let's go."

After speaking, Xiao Ming walked out of the inn, and Zi Yan and Qing Lin quickly followed.

The three of them arrived outside the inn, where the battle was nearing its end.

Most of the other experts from the Harmonious Bond Sect had already fallen and couldn't get up, except for Yin Yun, who was still stubbornly resisting.

However, he was in a very bad condition.

He was constantly spitting blood due to the attacks of Xiao Yi Xian and the Purple Soul Flame Serpent.

Seemingly realizing his ultimate fate, the expression on Yin Yun's face became ferocious.

"Want to kill me? It's not that easy!" He let out a cold and sinister laugh, and his face turned red as the Dou Qi in his body began to boil and surge violently.

'Thinking of self-destructing? Wishful thinking.' Xiao Ming thought.

This scene was familiar to him. But without the need for him to give her instructions, Qing Lin's eyes shone with a bright green light, and in an instant, with a sweep of the green light, Yin Yun's movement was once again momentarily stopped.

Meanwhile, she continued to control the movements of the Purple Soul Flame Serpent with incredible precision, directing its every move as if it were an extension of her own body.

In a battle between experts, opportunities arise in just a moment. Qing Lin seized this moment and commanded the Purple Soul Flame Serpent to stealthily sneak up behind Yin Yun. Its arm, sharp as a serpent's fang, reached out towards Yin Yun's chest, ready to strike with deadly force.

Bang!

Yin Yun's chest was directly pierced with a hole the size of a bowl.

"You...you..." Yin Yun's eyes widened with anger and he murmured for a while before falling from the sky and landing heavily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"That old fart Yin Yun is dead!"

"Hahaha! Serves him right to die like that!"

While Xiao Yi Xian and Yin Yun were fighting, a large crowd had already gathered around to watch the spectacle.

As they watched Yin Yun fall from the sky, many people burst into laughter.

The Harmonious Bond Sect had been forcibly taking beautiful women everywhere, and they had long been fed up with them. It's just that they were helpless against the Harmonious Bond Sect's power. Now that their sect experts have died here, people's hearts have turned really fast.

Looking at the dead Yin Yun on the ground, Xiao Ming made a gesture with his hand and brought the corpse in front of him.

His finger touched the center of Yin Yun's forehead, and an illusory soul was drawn out.

From the looks of it, it was indeed Yin Yun.

Without wasting any words, he directly sealed it and threw it into his storage ring.

Xiao Ming then looked up at the sky to the west and said, "You two have been watching for so long, are you still unwilling to reveal yourselves?"

As soon as Xiao Ming finished speaking, applause suddenly rang out in the void.

Clap clap clap!

"Wonderful! It's really amazing! The Woeful Poison Body and the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils are indeed powerful! I didn't expect that I would encounter these two kinds of physiques here today. Hehe, I'm really lucky."

Suddenly, two old men with long white beards appeared in the air, catching everyone's attention.

The one on the left wore a black robe with snake-like pupils, emanating a cold and eerie aura.

On the other hand, the one on the right had white hair covering his entire head, and his clothes bore snowflake patterns, which seemed to exude a chilly vibe.

Although both of these old men had a somewhat chilly aura, they clearly did not belong to the same faction. Based on their aura and appearance, Xiao Ming had a guess in his mind.

'People from the Ice River Valley and the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe, both are six-star Dou Ancestor experts and definitely do not come with good intentions...'

Xiao Ming had already detected the pair when he first arrived at the inn, but had not given them much thought.

Strong individuals were commonplace in the Central Plains, so their presence did not immediately raise any red flags. However, as the two men drew closer, Xiao Ming noticed their auras beginning to fluctuate.

So, he realized that these two were probably planning to make a move against them.
