Yunshan was well aware that the two people just now were definitely high-level Dou Zong. If Yunlan Sect were to get close to these two, everyone in the Northwest Continent would have to bow and scrape before him.

Yunshan calmed down and slowly withdrew his mind. He sat cross-legged on the ground. Things were different now. He was now almost certain to break through to the Dou Zong level. When he came out of seclusion, he would give the Jia Ma Empire a small Dou Zong shock.

On the other hand, after leaving Yunlan Sect, Gu Tian and Gu Di chased after the hundreds of soul energies, but unfortunately, they were too far apart and some of them still managed to escape.

It must be said that the escape techniques of the Soul Clan are among the best on the continent. The two were much stronger than them, a world of difference, but they still couldn't capture all the Yin Soul Qi, so they had no choice but to continue the chase.

And the destination of the remaining Yin spirit energy is precisely the branch hall of the Soul Palace in this northwestern continent.

Protector Wu intended to lure the two away. With his keen eyesight, he could easily tell that the two in front of him were at a much higher level than him. If it were a one-on-one fight, he would probably be reduced to ashes in less than a minute. Fortunately, he was an expert in escaping among the Dou Zong.

Thinking of this, a hint of pride appeared on the little ghost's face. But then, looking at the two people chasing after him, a hint of hatred appeared in his cold eyes. If it weren't for these two people behind him, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state. Even if he survived, he would have to start from the Great Dou Master level to cultivate again with just a few strands of ghost energy. However, as long as he could lure these two people away, many experts would surround and attack him. Moreover, the branch hall master of the Northwest Continent, Hun Qianqiu, was a Dou Zong Seven Star. He didn't believe that the two of them could survive.

I will be able to get a share of the profits and help myself recover from my injuries quickly.

Meanwhile, Hun Qianqiu, the branch hall master of the Northwest Continent mentioned by Protector Wu, was slowly devouring the soul in his hand.

"As expected, the soul of a Dou Zong expert is even faster. At this rate, breaking through to Dou Zun within ten years is just around the corner. Hmm, what's that?"

Hun Qianqiu was enjoying his leisurely afternoon tea when he suddenly saw several ghostly auras drifting in from afar. His brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little cautious.

As the Yin spirit approached, Wen Quanqiu could see its face clearly. He had some impression of this person. It was a minor expert, probably around two or three stars in the Dou Zhong realm. In this Northwest Continent, even Dou Zong was extremely rare. Who could have forced it to such a state?

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please save me!"

"What? This is your base of operations? Where do you think you're going to run now?"

Hun Qianqiu looked at the Protector Wu in front of him, or rather, the two figures behind him.

Even before Protector Wu's remnant soul arrived, Hun Qianqiu had already sensed two powerful figures following behind him, their boundless battle aura making no attempt to conceal it. This caused Hun Qianqiu some caution, but also a flash of anger.

Although the two newcomers are hostile and powerful, they shouldn't think they're easy to bully. If they're stronger than him, he wouldn't mind being a good guy and handing over Protector Wu himself. But if they're weaker than him, then...

Hun Qianqiu thought to himself and then looked at the two of them. As they got closer, Hun Qianqiu also sensed the strength of the two people in front of him and was immediately shocked.

A Dou Zong at the sixth level, slightly inferior to himself.

As for the other one, he is a Seven-Star Dou Zong, whose cultivation level is comparable to his own.

Hun Qianqiu's heart sank. He was not afraid of fighting alone and might even be able to capture the opponent.

However, one of the two people in front of him had the same cultivation level as him, while the other was slightly lower. If they were to fight, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. He then glanced at Protector Wu beside him.

That damned bastard, what on earth did he do to deserve this? In this Northwest Continent where there are so few Dou Zongs, he actually managed to provoke two high-level Dou Zongs. I must say, you must have some special talent.

But after thinking about it, since they are my subordinates after all, if I don't speak up and hold back, I might lose my authority. But if they insist on doing so, then don't blame me for not holding back. After all, this is a formidable enemy you have provoked, and it is your responsibility to deal with it.

Hun Qianqiu thought to himself, and immediately spoke:

"I apologize for disturbing you both. It was not that I, your subordinate, had offended you in any way. If it was..."

Before Hun Qianqiu could finish speaking, Gu Di interrupted him.

"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to us? Hand over the person to me right now, oh wait, I mean, hand over that dog next to you."

Upon hearing this, Hun Qianqiu frowned, his composure crumbling instantly. He hadn't expected the person in front of him to be so foul-mouthed, which made him look rather embarrassed.

Originally, I thought I would release the person if the other party's attitude was a little stronger, since I didn't want to argue with them. However, I didn't expect the other party to say such a terrible thing. Now that the other party is so disrespectful, if I hand the person over, what will people say about me as the temple master in the future?

"Why don't you two give my Soul Palace some face, otherwise..."

Hun Qianqiu suppressed his anger and spoke coldly to the two people in front of him, but his tone already carried a subtle threat.

"Hahahaha, big brother, did you hear that? This little thing is killing me with laughter. It's really unique in appearance. No wonder it talks so funny. I'm giving you face, but who do you think you are, a Dou Zun?"

"Soul Heaven Pig Seal".

Looking at the foul-mouthed Gu Di in front of him, Hun Qianqiu could no longer hold back. Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone a high-level Dou Zong expert. He had tolerated it time and time again, but he did not expect the other party to be so ungrateful. Since that was the case, he no longer needed to be afraid.

"The Mountain-Opening Seal".

Looking at Gu Tian, ​​who had blocked his attack, Hun Qianqiu couldn't help but find it hard to believe. This was a mid-level Earth-rank combat skill that he had painstakingly obtained from the Central Continent Main Hall, yet it had been blocked so easily by the person in front of him.

What to do? It seems like he's kicked a hornet's nest. Hun Qianqiu knows that these two people in front of him must be backed by a powerful force, otherwise they would never have blocked his fighting technique so easily.

Chapter 38 The Poor Protector Wu

Looking at the two menacing figures before him, Hun Qianqiu felt a little uneasy. He had thought that he could hold his own against them with his Earth-rank fighting skills, and even turn the tables on them. However, he hadn't expected that these two were not ordinary Dou Zongs. This was going to be difficult.

After thinking for a moment, Hun Qianqiu decided to back down. He might as well lose face; otherwise, if a real fight broke out, he might not be a match for the two of them. He also had many souls in his palace, and if they were destroyed by the two of them, he couldn't bear the consequences. He seemed to recall the cruel punishments of the Soul Palace and couldn't help but shudder.

"Gentlemen, how about..."

Thinking of this, Hun Qianqiu forced a smile onto his face and was about to open his mouth to back down, but before he could finish speaking, he was shocked by a voice beside him.

"Did you hear that? Our Lord has spoken. You two little dogs are finished. Fortune changes every thirty years. Don't underestimate the Soul Palace. Hehehehe. If you obediently kneel down and beg for mercy now, we might leave you with a whole corpse."

Hearing the arrogant remarks from the side, Hun Qianqiu's face froze, his heart filled with raging fury.

Is this idiot blind to the times? My attack was blocked by that person just now, can't you see that? Who let this fool into the Soul Palace? I actually thought he had made some contribution before.

Hun Qianqiu glanced at the expressions of the two people opposite him. As he expected, their faces had gradually darkened from their initial slight twitching. They were clearly angered by the Yin Protector beside him.

I thought the guy on the other side was foul-mouthed enough, but I didn't expect our side to be even better. Hun Qianqiu had no doubt that it was this guy's foul mouth that had provoked these two powerful people on the other side.

If Hun Qianqiu had any hesitation before, his actions just now dispelled the last trace of guilt and doubt in his heart.

Seeing the expression on the other side gradually worsen, Hun Qianqiu immediately shouted:

"Shut up, you idiot! You two, I take back what I just said. You can do whatever you want with this person. It has nothing to do with my Soul Hall."

After saying this, Hun Qianqiu immediately retreated and watched quietly from a distance, seemingly to show Gu Tian Gu Di his attitude.

Wu Hufa, standing to the side, was completely stunned, just like Hun Qianqiu had been earlier. He never expected that the Palace Master he trusted would abandon him.

Protector Wu turned to look at the two men chasing him. They were both glaring at him with murderous intent, clearly angered by his earlier words. He knew he had been abandoned, but still wanted to try, so he weakly asked:

"I admit my voice was a little loud just now. You won't abandon me, will you, Lord?"

Looking at the seemingly weak-looking Protector Wu, Hun Qianqiu remained unmoved. He was not a kind person, and once he decided to give up, he would not go back on his word. Moreover, he did not believe that Wu harbored any resentment towards him.

Looking at the cold-faced Hun Qianqiu before him, Wu Hufa still felt a chill run down his spine, even though he had expected it.

Since he was going to die anyway, Protector Wu no longer held back and immediately began attacking the three of them:

"You three bastards, you deserve to die a horrible death! What kind of skill is it to bully the weak, you bunch of bastards!"

Before Wu Hufa could finish speaking, his soul twisted and contorted in a spiral before falling into Gu Tian's hands.

Clearly, they couldn't stand the guy's foul language any longer, so they immediately used a secret technique to absorb his already broken soul, then sealed it in a jade bottle. All they had to do was take it back and hand it over to the young lady for interrogation. They were sure that the two brothers would be rewarded by the young lady.

Just as Gu Tian was collecting the broken soul of Protector Wu, Hun Qianqiu, who had retreated not far away, also looked extremely embarrassed. It seemed that he had underestimated Wu's foul mouth. Once this guy started cursing, he was a treasure for attracting fire. At that time, he wished he could step forward and use all ten of the Soul Palace's most ruthless techniques on him. He estimated that no matter how good one's self-control was, anyone who was hit by Protector Wu's verbal barrage would break down on the spot, and he wished he could grind him to dust.

Hun Qianqiu looked at the two people in the distance, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and he slowly said:

"Now that the matter has been settled, you two may take your leave. I will not see you off any further."

Seeing Hun Qianqiu issue the order to leave, Gu Di couldn't help but look at his elder brother beside him. In fact, according to the rules of the ancient clan, people from the Hun clan in remote areas should be killed if possible. However, their current task was to help Miss find the person whose portrait was being painted. If they made the decision on their own, they would probably be severely punished by Miss when they returned. Gu Di was also unsure of what to do, so he wanted his elder brother to make the decision.

Seemingly sensing his brother's gaze, Gu Tian understood his meaning, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said softly:

"No, let's leave it at that this time. We should prioritize Miss's mission. Besides, if we wipe them all out here, the Central Plains will probably send more people to guard the area soon. The people they send this time might be even stronger, and they might search the area to find out why they were all wiped out. Those Yin people are very sensitive to our presence, so there's a possibility they might discover Miss's identity. That would be troublesome."

Hearing his elder brother's analysis, Gu Di nodded quickly, then gave Hun Qianqiu a look that said, "You've hit the jackpot," before leaving with Gu Tian.

The matter should have ended here, and we could have found out the whereabouts of the person in the portrait from Protector Wu after returning. But the problem arose precisely here.

As the two returned, they handed over the soul of Protector Wu to Xiao Xun'er, and also made a solemn promise that this was the person who had captured the person in the portrait. They said that as long as they interrogated him, they could get justice. At the same time, the two stood guard by Xiao Xun'er's side while she was interrogating him, which made Protector Wu, who was preparing to escape, lose all hope.

He was nearly killed by the girl with the face of an angel but the face of a devil, who used her Soul-Slaying Whip. Even speaking was extremely difficult for her. This made him furious. He believed that these people were the forces behind the young genius he had mentioned. He thought he was doomed and decided to give up.

It was only when the girl pressed him about the person in the portrait that he realized his mistake. The man in the portrait had a face like that of a celestial being, though his face was slightly youthful. But he was in no way inferior to the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him, and was even slightly better. If the girl's question hadn't made him realize that this was a man, he probably would have thought that this was a holy maiden from some sect.

Chapter 39 Protector Wu's Unique 'Emperor-Rank Combat Technique'

However, this is where the problem lies. If the person in the portrait is the one they are looking for, then wouldn't that have nothing to do with them at all?

Although Protector Wu was beaten to the point of near death, he would never mistake the man in the portrait before him. After all, the man in the portrait was so stunning that no one would forget him after just one glance. In this light, wasn't he just a scapegoat?

Thinking of this, Protector Wu gritted his teeth. He must not let that damned bastard who framed him find him. However, if he could explain himself clearly, the three people in front of him would have no choice but to let him go.

And that temple master actually sold himself out.

Wu Hufa kept complaining in his heart, completely forgetting that it was caused by his own foul mouth.

"Snapped."

"what!!!"

As a voice rang out, Xiao Xun'er swung her Soul-Slaying Whip again, but as it struck Protector Wu with a sharp gust of wind, it caused him to let out a violent scream.

"You don't want to talk, huh? Then I'll beat you until you do. I want to see how long you can hold out."

Wu, the Protector, was completely unaware that Xiao Xun'er had seen his angry outburst in his mind, which she perceived as a fierce and unyielding figure.

"Give him the recovery medicine."

As the previously ethereal figure gradually solidified, he swung the Soul-Slaying Whip in his hand once more.

"Ah, I, I didn't."

As Xiao Xun'er lashed out with her whip, Protector Wu tried to speak evasively, wanting to say that he hadn't captured the person they were looking for, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a whip struck him, preventing him from saying anything at all.
