Hearing the former's words, Lin Feng didn't speak further. He immediately controlled the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame and surged forward, burning straight toward that black soul imprint.
"Zzz~"
The moment the emerald-green flame touched the imprint, a series of sharp, screeching sounds came from within Yun Shan's body.
Not long after, a foul stench, accompanied by black smoke generated as the imprint melted, slowly wafted out from Yun Shan's pores.
From within the soul imprint, it seemed that faint, agonized howls could also be heard.
At the same time, in a certain location within the Jia Ma Empire, a jet-black chain shot out from the midst of a dark mist, piercing through and dragging a soul into it.
"Hmm?"
Just as he sealed the soul into a soul pouch, Protector Wu's dark red eyes suddenly turned sharply toward the direction where Lin Feng was.
Then, from within the black mist, a voice tinged with uncertainty echoed:"The soul imprint seems to be getting destroyed… Yun Shan?"
As soon as the words fell, the black mist began to churn violently and then disappeared into the distant sky.
Inside Yun Shan's body, the soul imprint had already been burned away by Lin Feng by more than eighty to ninety percent, leaving only the final faint trace of black stubbornly resisting.
Moments later, as the last wisp of black smoke drifted out from Yun Shan's pores…
The method Protector Wu had left behind to control his soul was completely eradicated by Lin Feng.
After scanning the area to confirm everything was safe, Lin Feng finally withdrew the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame.
"Haha, that damned thing has finally been dealt with completely. Lin Feng, I really have to thank you this time."
Sensing that Lin Feng's Heavenly Flame had completely exited his body, Yun Shan looked at the fading black mist in the air and spoke with lingering fear.
In his heart, he felt extremely fortunate that his own disciple had managed to captivate such a rare genius.
Otherwise, he might not have known when his soul would be extracted by that Protector Wu.
At the same time, when it came to selecting a husband for Yun Yun, his mind had also shifted from Gu He to Lin Feng.
After all, one of them only managed to reach sixth-tier alchemist at around forty years old, while the other had already surpassed that level in his twenties.
Between these two, anyone with a slightly rational mind would know which to choose.
Thinking of this, the gaze Yun Shan directed at Lin Feng grew even softer.
"Jie jie… Yun Shan, I didn't expect you, of all people, to discover the secret technique left behind by our Hall of Souls."
As the eerie laughter sounded out, a cloud of black mist suddenly emerged in the sky above the valley.
The churning black mist rippled and contracted, slowly condensing into a figure entirely shrouded in deep, dark smoke.
Faintly, a pair of slightly dark red pupils could be seen emerging from the dense fog surrounding the figure.
Looking down at the two people below, a glint of killing intent flashed across Protector Wu's eyes.
The moment he sensed the soul imprint being destroyed, he knew Yun Shan must have already broken free of his control.
However, he wasn't too concerned.
After all, he was a Four-Star Dou Zong at peak stage, while Yun Shan was merely a Two-Star Dou Zong.
Besides, he also possessed many high-level Dou Techniques bestowed upon him by the Hall of Souls.
Killing a crippled Dou Zong with only Black Class Dou Techniques should be a piece of cake.
"Oh? No wonder you were able to dispel the control of the secret technique. So you brought in a sixth-tier alchemist."
Gazing at Lin Feng below, a trace of greed flickered in Protector Wu's eyes.
A soul of this caliber was extremely attractive to Hall of Souls Protectors like him.
Thinking of the potential rewards from Hall of Souls, Protector Wu sneered,"Yun Shan, as long as you kill this alchemist and hand over his soul and storage ring to me, I'll forget your breach of our agreement. How about it?"
"Hehe, Protector Wu, this kind of cooperation makes this old man feel rather chilled."
Yun Shan's eyes narrowed slightly, his tone filled with icy coldness.
"Jie jie… Since you've chosen to betray our agreement, I'll let you understand today: just as Hall of Souls elevated you to the level of Dou Zong, we can also make you lose everything!"
As he heard Yun Shan's frosty tone, how could Protector Wu not realize that the former had developed killing intent toward him due to the secret technique?
As he finished speaking, the black mist around Protector Wu began to churn violently, and faint sounds of metal chains scraping against each other echoed within.
A moment later, with a flick of his palm and amid the clamor of clashing metal, two pitch-black chains coiled out like venomous serpents, twisting ominously at his sides.
"You two, will now become my contribution to Hall of Souls."
With a sinister laugh, Protector Wu's arm flicked. The chains sliced through the air, turning into two black streaks as they shot straight toward Lin Feng and Yun Shan like venomous fangs.
"Heh, want to kill me? You're far from capable."
Watching the rapidly approaching chains, Lin Feng, who had remained silent until now, let out a cold laugh.
However, his heart was guarded. With a surge of thought, the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame erupted from within his body.
In the blink of an eye, a flaming barrier condensed in front of him.
"Zzz~"
The moment the barrier formed, the metal chains stabbed into it.
As soon as they touched the Heavenly Flame, the black chains immediately began to melt in midair, like snow under a scorching sun, quickly disintegrating.
"Wind Wall!"
To the side, Yun Shan gave a soft shout, and a fierce gale suddenly whipped up in the sky. A giant wall of azure wind formed in front of him, blocking the chain outside the barrier.
"Heavenly Flame?"
Seeing the flames circling around Lin Feng, a trace of gravity entered Protector Wu's tone.
He had, of course, heard of such legendary treasures of heaven and earth.
He just hadn't expected to encounter one today.
"Jie jie... Surrender. A mere Two-Star Dou Zong and a Three-Star Dou Huang—how could you possibly defeat a peak Four-Star Dou Zong like me?"
At the same time, the black mist around Protector Wu grew even denser.
It was clear he intended to end the fight quickly.
"Then what if you add this queen into the mix?"
Before his sinister laugh had faded, a cold and alluring female voice slowly echoed through the skies.
Protector Wu immediately sensed it—an unfamiliar Dou Zong-level aura had appeared right behind him.
"Who are you? I advise you not to meddle in Hall of Souls's affairs. You might bring disaster upon yourself."
Turning around, Protector Wu's dark red eyes flickered slightly as he looked toward the stunningly beautiful and seductive woman in the distance. His voice turned cold and threatening.
"The one this Queen is looking for… is precisely someone from Hall of Souls."
Gazing at the walking embodiment of a soul's origin, Queen Medusa's long, narrow eyes—brimming with otherworldly charm—narrowed slightly. A flash of killing intent passed through them.
If Lin Feng could absorb the soul of a Dou Zong-level expert like this one, the chances of refining a Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill for her child would rise significantly.
Sensing the chilling aura brushing against his neck, Protector Wu's expression grew dark.
From the look in her eyes, it was clear she was absolutely determined to stand against him.
He wasn't afraid of Yun Shan alone. But if he had to face two Dou Zong-level experts together, the situation would become extremely troublesome.
Seeing that he could no longer intimidate them, a strange red gleam suddenly flashed from Protector Wu's eyes.
An immense surge of black mist exploded from within him, rising like a column of smoke straight into the sky.
The power released from his body was so intense that if any Dou Wang-level cultivators approached…
Their Dou Qi would immediately falter, its circulation plummeting by at least seventy to eighty percent!
