Above the sky, a group of four-winged unicorns flapped their wings and roared, the sound of wind and thunder echoing between their wings.
This group was small, only about ten people, but they included two four-star Dou Zun, and the rest were all high-level Dou Zong. Such a powerful lineup could easily wipe out the Four Directions Pavilion; they were undeniably strong.
"Hmm?" Just then, Xiao Xun'er, the leader, suddenly stiffened, feeling a chill run down her spine, an ominous premonition enveloping her.
"Miss?" Beside her, Elder Guan and Elder Lin hurriedly asked what was going on.
"I suddenly feel like someone wants to harm me!" Xiao Xun'er's eyes narrowed, suspicious and looking around.
Hearing this, Elder Guan and Elder Lin immediately became solemn, their senses and auras suddenly radiating out as they vigilantly surveyed their surroundings.
The Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan are not at peace now. There are no major battles, but small skirmishes are constant, and conflicts break out from time to time. Several Black Annihilation Army soldiers have even sacrificed their lives.
Of course, although their group appears to have only a Dou Zun as their strongest fighter, in reality, even a Dou Sheng would not dare to easily attack them. This
is because the powerful members of the Ancient Clan are watching them from the shadows.
"Alright, don't waste your energy. Let's find Brother Xiao Yan first, and we'll talk about the rest later!" Xiao Xun'er's eyelids twitched as she spoke.
She only had a premonition and intuition and did not sense any enemies nearby.
"Yes!" Elder Lin and Elder Guan responded, and immediately the group's aura surged. The four-winged unicorns beneath them understood, let out a neigh, flapped their wings, and stirred up a howling wind as they sped away.
...
Rumble!
The energy between heaven and earth surged and boiled, and countless energies of heaven and earth, as if solid, rushed towards Lü Bu like a tsunami.
"It's actually a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique!" Elder Chi Huo was also extremely shocked. Their Burning Flame Valley only had one Heaven-Rank cultivation technique, and only the Valley Master was qualified to cultivate it. But Xiao Yan, who had the potential to become a Dou Di, actually possessed such a treasure. It was truly terrifying.
"This person's background is probably not simple. Even the Pill Tower probably can't tolerate such a hero!" Elder Chi Huo thought solemnly.
Beside him, Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly. There must be a misunderstanding here. That guy Lü Qiu must be deliberately playing tricks. No, I have to find out what's going on!
In the distant sky, Venerable Qinghai's face was ashen. He roared in disbelief,
"Damn it, how do you have a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique?"
"Hehehe... Why wouldn't I?" Lü Qiu chuckled strangely, subconsciously twisting his neck. The abundant power made him feel great.
"Boy, you wait for the Soul Palace's pursuit!" Venerable Qinghai roared, and black mist surged forth as he suddenly retreated.
He couldn't win!
He couldn't possibly defeat this person. Leaving aside the seemingly endless, powerful fighting techniques, the sheer sustained combat power from the Heavenly Rank cultivation method alone would be enough to overwhelm him! His
immediate priority was to escape and rid himself of the enemy before him; otherwise, defeat and death were certain!
His mind raced. With a low shout, Venerable Qinghai flew out. He had to return alive to inform the powerful figures in the hall about the two Xiao Yans, who possessed the potential to become Dou Di. This young man was terrifyingly powerful and could not be allowed to live!
As for the two Soul Hall protectors or envoys he called Gan Da, he had already forgotten about them.
Wasn't it their duty to cover for him? Whether they lived or died was unimportant, as their mission of covering and delaying the enemy had been accomplished!
However, at that moment, a white figure silently appeared before him. A gentle breeze stirred, and her long, snow-white hair fluttered gracefully, elegant and captivating.
But her eyes were one gray and one purple, indifferent and cold, like a terrifying death god who extinguished all life, eerie and chilling!
"Get out of my way!" Venerable Qinghai roared repeatedly, thick black mist billowing out, chilling and bloodthirsty, its murderous aura howling forth. Behind him, jet-black chains materialized, shooting out like arrows, piercing every part of Little Fairy Doctor's body.
Eyes, throat, heart, dantian, back of the neck, back of the soul platform—each a deadly strike, aimed at the enemy with unparalleled ferocity!
The chains hissed, their sharp whistling sound like an alarm blaring through the air, white mist swirling at their tips—a peculiar phenomenon caused by the extreme speed of friction against the air.
"Oh no, can that woman withstand this attack?" Lin Yan exclaimed in horror, his face filled with terror. This was a desperate attack from a two-star Dou Zun; even a true Dou Zun expert wouldn't dare to take it head-on!
"I'll make my move too!" Elder Chi Huo shouted, his violent fire-attribute battle qi surging forth. He stomped his foot, a sharp gust of wind exploding forth, and his figure moved like lightning, attacking behind Venerable Qinghai.
The Heavenly Gang Shattering Stone Step, a high-level movement technique of the Burning Flame Valley, was no less fast than the Three Thousand Thunderclaps!
"..." Xiao Yan's eyes were solemn, and he remained silent. He had seen the woman in white before and knew her identity. When he returned from Canaan Academy, she was already a renowned Dou Zong expert, her poisonous battle qi incredibly powerful, shaking the entire Chu Yun Empire.
Back then at Tianmu Mountain, Xiao Yan had seen her and Medusa together intimidate the entire Gold-Eating Rat Clan. It was conceivable that this woman's combat strength was definitely no less than Elder Chi Huo's.
The two of them working together to delay this Soul Palace Dou Zun for a moment shouldn't be difficult.
But just then, Little Fairy Doctor lightly raised her jade-like finger, and a gray mist rose from her fair and delicate fingertip. Strands of mist, like lively sprites, drifted out, splitting in two, then four, then eight.
In the blink of an eye, countless strands of gray mist entwined the overwhelming black chains. Those incomparably sharp chains, each possessing the power to pierce even a Dou Zun expert, softened in the next instant, then were corroded into drops of liquid.
A strange black rain seemed to fall from the sky, and at the same time, a captivating fragrance wafted out, accompanying the gray mist as it permeated the overwhelming chains.
"Pfft!"
Venerable Qinghai suddenly trembled, spitting out a mouthful of blood. A gray hue surged onto his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) old face.
"You...you...this is poison!?" Venerable Qinghai, his face filled with terror, pointed at Little Fairy Doctor in disbelief and exclaimed.
Behind him, Elder Chi Huo cried out in alarm, his body, which had been flying straight ahead, halted abruptly, and he frantically flew back.
That was a poison that even a two-star Dou Zun couldn't withstand; he would probably die the moment he came into contact with it, turning into a pool of blood.
"Good heavens, no wonder she's called the Heavenly Poison Woman!" Xiao Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He knew from the beginning that this woman was a ruthless killer, and he thought she would be somewhat restrained after becoming involved with Lü Qiu, but he didn't expect her to be even more ruthless than before.
Perhaps only a lustful guy like Lü Qiu would keep such a poisonous woman and a snake woman like Medusa by his side... Xiao Yan thought to himself.
Compared to that, how pure he was, loving only his fiancée and childhood sweetheart.
Wasn't that much better than Lü Qiu?!
"Damn it, give me the antidote!" A flush crept onto Venerable Qinghai's ashen face, his eerie dark red complexion resembling that of a vengeful ghost, ready to devour someone!
"Hmph!" Beneath her veil, Little Fairy Doctor's lips curled slightly, her sleeves fluttering, and a sharp, gray-purple beam of battle qi roared out, carrying immense power as it hurtled towards Venerable Qinghai.
"A Battle Venerable!?" Venerable Qinghai exclaimed in surprise, a look of horror involuntarily appearing on his grim, ghostly face.

What's going on? How come all the younger generation are at the Dou Zun realm?
But with the attack imminent, he had no time to think. He roared, and black mist and chains surged around him, enveloping him.
Boom!!
A gray-purple streak exploded, a violent gust of wind rippling outwards.
The Azure Sea Venerable grunted, a hint of surprise appearing on his gloomy face. He suddenly grinned savagely, "Hehehe... So you're that weak!"
The instant he sensed the woman's Dou Zun level, the Azure Sea Venerable equated her with the pretty boy who had come with her, assuming they were equally powerful. However, after their first exchange, he realized he had been paranoid.
This was just an ordinary one-star Dou Zun; he could crush her with a single finger!
"Hehehe... Prepare to die!" The Azure Sea Venerable laughed savagely, blood splattering from his mouth, but he didn't care.
"Fool..." Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful eyes curved, a mocking smile appearing on her pretty face beneath the purple veil. Her mission wasn't to confront this Soul Palace Battle Venerable head-on.
She lightly touched the ground with her feet, gracefully retreating like an elegant butterfly, easily escaping the attack range of Venerable Qinghai.
Venerable Qinghai's face stiffened upon seeing this, his ferocious laughter suddenly freezing on his face. In his previous elation and shock, he had overlooked a terrifying opponent.
Before the thought could even fade, a scorching gust of wind had already pierced through the spatial barrier, approaching his back.
Boom!
A fiery gust of wind passed through his body, a purple-black streak of light traversing the sky!
"Pfft!" Venerable Qinghai's dark red face suddenly turned pale, spitting out a mouthful of blood, tumbling and crashing towards the distant figure, slamming heavily against an invisible spatial barrier with a "bang."
It was Elder Chi Huo of Burning Flame Valley who had intervened. Now that he was involved in the battle to kill the Soul Hall's Dou Zun, given the Soul Hall's vengeful nature, they would never let him go. It was better to eliminate all of them and prevent the news from spreading.
"Die!"
A thunderous voice quietly rang out, and Lü Qiu's ghostly figure appeared above the head of the Azure Sea Venerable. His palm was wreathed in purplish-black flames, and he slammed down with extreme heat.
The palm struck the Azure Sea Venerable's crown, and the scorching heat seemed to incinerate the Azure Sea Venerable along with his soul.
Facing this fatal blow, a look of fear appeared on the Azure Sea Venerable's pale face. However, the next moment, his fearful face suddenly turned into a ferocious look.
"Hehehe... If you want to kill me, you'll die too!" The Azure Sea Venerable's expression suddenly turned fierce, and his hands suddenly formed a seal. A violent aura suddenly emanated from him, and the fine blue veins and blood vessels on his pale face bulged.
"Not good! He's going to self-destruct!" Elder Chi Huo and Xiao Yan's expressions changed drastically, and they grabbed Lin Yan and pulled back.
"Hahaha... This is a special secret technique of my Soul Palace. Once activated, even a Dou Sheng cannot stop it. Let's die together, hahaha... Pfft!" Venerable Qinghai laughed maniacally, his body swelling more and more.
However, before he could finish laughing, a burst of crimson blood suddenly appeared on his face,
where veins and blood vessels were bulging, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood. The violent aura suddenly stopped, and the next moment it deflated like a punctured balloon, disappearing in an instant.
"You... it's poison again!" Venerable Qinghai's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the white-clad, ethereal Little Doctor Fairy in the distance, who seemed like a fairy descended from heaven.
Inside his body, streams of grayish-purple poison were rampaging through his meridians and dantian.
"Did you really think my attack was so easy to withstand?" Little Fairy Doctor chuckled softly, her gray-purple eyes slowly fading back to their original gentle, watery gaze. The battle was won; this Soul Hall Dou Zun was doomed!
In the distance, Xiao Yan and his companions broke out in a cold sweat. Such terrifying poison! It could actually kill a Dou Zun expert.
What a terrifying woman! She had poisoned a Dou Zun twice so silently; truly terrifying. *
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!*
"Ah ah..." Just then, the two Soul Hall protectors or Soul Envoys brought by Venerable Qinghai suddenly screamed, their scarlet eyes flickering like short-circuited light bulbs.
The next moment, two gray-purple corpses fell from the black mist. However, before they even hit the ground, they were already corroded into drops of black corpse fluid, leaving no trace of their deaths.
They absolutely could not be alone with this woman! ×3
Xiao Yan and his companions exchanged glances, all seeing the horror in each other's eyes. Instinctively, the same thought arose in all three of them.
*Thud!
* A muffled sound rang out as the black chains pierced through the body.
"Your Soul Hall's self-destruction isn't that amazing," Lü Qiu chuckled. "I've seen it a few times, it's nothing special."
With that, Lü Qiu flicked his wrist, yanking Qinghai's soul from his body.
"You...you've seen other Venerables..." the illusory soul of Venerable Qinghai cried out in terror, but a jade bottle flew in, absorbing him and sealing him completely. His corpse, meanwhile, was swept away by Lü Qiu's hand and stored in his storage ring.
This series of actions left Elder Chi Huo drenched in cold sweat. Sealing a soul, taking possession of a body, destroying evidence, eradicating all traces—all done in one fluid motion, so clean and efficient!
Could it be that this Xiao Yan, with his potential to become a Dou Di, had killed more than one Soul Hall Dou Zun?
At this thought, Elder Chi Huo's shock deepened. He had previously thought that a Dou Di's words to the Soul Hall were the ignorant ravings of a child, but witnessing what had just happened, he had to reconsider those words.
A blur flashed before his eyes, the space trembled slightly, and Lü Qiu appeared before Xiao Yan. Seeing his long-lost good brother, he grinned broadly: "Hahaha, Xiao Yan, I've reached Dou Zun!"
Of course, good news had to be shared with his good brother immediately!
"...I saw it!" Xiao Yan gritted his teeth. Dou Zun was nothing special; give me some time, and I could reach it too.
"Hahaha, and another good news! I've reached the Eighth Rank!" Lü Qiu laughed loudly: "At the end of the Dao of Alchemy, who stands at the peak? Seeing Lü Qiu, the Dao becomes empty! I love it!"
Xiao Yan: "..."
I'm not envious, I'm not jealous, my heart is completely unmoved!
Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his eyes reddened, tears welling in them, as if he felt nothing at all.
"Hahaha, Xiao Yan, I have another good news to tell you..." Lü Qiu laughed loudly and continued.
But before he could finish his sentence, the wind howled on the horizon, and several black dots appeared in his field of vision.
"Huh... four-winged unicorns?" Lü Yu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. Why had the Black Annihilation Army arrived?
