Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 457

Suppressing the raging chaos within him, he forced a smile to mask his inner turmoil and said in a relaxed tone, "Thank you for your explanation, sir!"

Hearing the other party's words, Mo Shang's previous doubts were finally answered. No wonder he was so relaxed in the Soul Palace back then...

However, Mo Shang was also at a loss as to how to face the Eagle Protector.

Although he enslaved him when he brought him to the Black Corner Region, he later removed the soul mark on him after arriving in the Central Continent. Then, in the Soul Palace, he used his connections to help him advance in the Soul Palace.

Besides, Protector Eagle never coveted him in the slightest. In fact, later within the Soul Palace, Protector Eagle repeatedly used his connections to obtain numerous rare medicinal herbs to enhance his strength...

With a sigh, Mo Shang remained completely unaffected. If anything, it could only be said that their positions were different...

"Shh!"

The next moment, the yin-style expert beside Mo Shang retreated instantly, his figure reappearing in the distance. Looking at Mo Shang, he said, "Hehehehe, what an interesting little fellow. I am Mei Lin, or, in your words, the Seventh Heavenly Venerable!"

"As for the two below, they are the Fifth Heavenly Venerable Feng Hua and the Sixth Heavenly Venerable Miao Qi." Mei Lin spoke slowly, her gaze towards Mo Shang carrying a meaningful glint, and said, "Little fellow, cultivate diligently. Your name has already reached the Palace Master's ears; perhaps one day you can join us..."

As soon as Mei Lin finished speaking, Feng Hua and Miao Qi returned and landed beside her. They spoke calmly, "There were no signs of a fight in the cold pool, but I did sense Old Ghost's presence. The people they reported should be Old Ghost and Old Bai..."

Of the two, the one who was slightly overweight spoke, his voice revealing a simple and honest nature.

However, given that the other party was one of the few Heavenly Venerables in the Soul Palace, Mo Shang was not naive enough to think that he would be as unassuming as he appeared.

"So, Old Ghost really did bring Old Bai here..."

Mei Lin nodded slightly, then her gaze fell on Mo Shang again, and she asked, "When did you realize something was wrong?"

Upon hearing Mei Lin's words, Mo Shang did not hesitate at all and recounted everything that had been arranged. In any case, he had already made all the arrangements, so he was not afraid of them verifying them.

After hearing Mo Shang's words, Mei Lin and the other two exchanged glances, a hint of doubt on their faces.

"If it was Old Ghost and his group, why did they leave without saying goodbye? Furthermore, a team of Dou Zong cultivators even died at their hands..."

Meilin and the others looked at each other, unable to figure out the specific reason. However, after checking, they found no trace of a fight in the cold pool. With Lao Gui and Lao Bai's strength, even if they were seriously injured, they couldn't have been killed without making a sound. So it seemed that the only reason was that they left on their own.

"Since they've left, they'll reappear eventually. Let's ask them then."

The three exchanged glances, and then Mei Lin's gaze fell on Mo Shang. Her aura suddenly changed, and the terrifying fluctuations made everyone on the field struggle to cope.

"Mo Shang! By order of the Palace Master, effective immediately, Mo Shang shall assume the position of Palace Master of Yongluo Palace, one of the Twenty-Four Earthly Fiend Palaces!"

As soon as Mei Lin finished speaking, a jet-black token flew out of his arms and landed directly in Mo Shang's hand. At the same time, two scrolls also fell into Mo Shang's arms, and Mei Lin's voice appeared in his ears.

"To be appointed as the Palace Master of the Earthly Fiend Hall right after advancing to the Dou Zun position is unprecedented in the Soul Hall. The Palace Master has high expectations for you. However, the Soul Hall is a place that values ​​strength. If you cannot uphold this honor, no one can help you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Meilin and his two companions disappeared from the spot.

Mo Shang looked at the pitch-black token in his arms, which emitted a strange fluctuation that made him feel a sense of threat. It seemed to contain a terrifying energy. On the token, the words "Yong Luo" were engraved.

"Meet the Palace Master!"

Just as Mo Shang was in a daze, the Soul Hall experts around him knelt down on one knee, staring intently at him, which startled him back to reality.

"Lord of the Palace..."

...........................

Zhongzhou is located in a remote canyon near the north.

Amidst a vast desert landscape filled with yellow sand, a massive canyon stretches across the landscape. At its widest point, the canyon extends for tens of kilometers, its edge seemingly invisible from afar.

Legend has it that this was once the mark left by a powerful warrior's sword, and the sword intent has lingered for a thousand years, eventually forming this canyon.

The headquarters of Huangquan Pavilion, one of the four famous pavilions in the Dou Qi Continent, is located here.

The Yellow Springs Pavilion is a special entity. As long as someone is willing to pay a sufficient price, the Yellow Springs Pavilion will step in and help you eliminate your enemies. Such behavior should naturally attract many powerful enemies.

However, due to the existence of Venerable Huangquan, and the fact that Huangquan Pavilion rarely takes action against powerful forces or geniuses with strong backgrounds, although many people harbor resentment towards Huangquan Pavilion, few are willing to provoke it.

But today, in this desert, a few uninvited guests have entered...

"Shh!"

Spatial power surged, and a silver wormhole appeared in mid-air, from which several figures stepped out.

Xiao Fan looked around, slightly surprised, and looked at the Iron Sword Venerable in front of him, and said, "Senior, the headquarters of the Yellow Springs Pavilion is actually in this desert?"

"Yes!"

The Iron Sword Venerable nodded slightly, a sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes, and said, "The Yellow Springs Pavilion has many branches, but few people know about their headquarters. Unfortunately, I am one of them."

"That old guy Huang Quan is basically always stationed at headquarters, so coming here to find him is definitely the right thing to do!"

Chapter 215 The Iron Sword Takes Action

Hearing Iron Sword Venerable's words, Xiao Fan nodded silently, exchanged a glance with Xiao Yan, and then said to Iron Sword Venerable, "Then, I'll have to trouble you next, senior!"

"Hahaha!" The Iron Sword Venerable laughed heartily: "No need to be so polite. I have long been uncomfortable with that old bastard Huang Quan. Now that you have made your move, I am very excited."

The Iron Sword Venerable laughed heartily, and Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, seeing his generous and unrestrained manner, were also infected by his hearty laughter.

"Let's go then!"

With the Iron Sword Venerable leading the way, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan followed behind him, and they quietly sneaked into the headquarters of the Yellow Springs Pavilion.

This time, in dealing with the Yellow Springs Pavilion, considering that the Starfall Pavilion cannot be left without manpower, only Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan will go together, apart from Iron Sword Venerable who needs to know the location.

Venerable Wind, Venerable Heavenly Fire, and Elder Medicine all remained in the Starfall Pavilion.

However, dealing with the mere Yellow Springs Pavilion was more than enough for Xiao Fan and his two companions.

With the Iron Sword Venerable leading the way, it didn't take long for Xiao Fan and the others to sense several faint auras heading towards the huge canyon ahead.

"These must be the disciples of the Yellow Springs Pavilion..."

Sensing the chilling aura emanating from the figures below, Xiao Fan spoke. The disciples of the Yellow Springs Pavilion couldn't hide their cultivation techniques from them. Furthermore, their presence in such a remote place meant they were either disciples of the Yellow Springs Pavilion or employers looking to make a deal with them.

Therefore, the three of them were able to easily find out each other's identities.

"The headquarters of the Yellow Springs Pavilion is just ahead..."

The Iron Sword Venerable spoke, ignoring the weak disciples below. Xiao Fan and his companion were not bloodthirsty people, so they naturally wouldn't attack a few ordinary disciples who were only at the Dou Ling realm. With a flash, they appeared in the sky together with the Iron Sword Venerable.

"arrive........"

Even without Iron Sword Venerable's reminder, Xiao Fan and his companions could sense the dense human presence emanating from the canyon ahead.

Xiao Fan's vast soul power enveloped the entire Yellow Springs Pavilion, carefully probing the aura within. Under his powerful soul power, those below the Dou Zun level were completely unaware of his presence.

After a moment, Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes and said, "Found it! That old guy Huang Quan is right below the canyon!"

No sooner had Xiao Fan finished speaking than a furious voice rang out from within the canyon: "Who is it that has come to visit my Yellow Springs Pavilion?"

Although Xiao Fan's strength far surpasses that of Venerable Huangquan, this is, after all, Venerable Huangquan's home ground. There are countless array formations and techniques set up within the Huangquan Pavilion. If Venerable Huangquan could not discover Xiao Fan's open and aboveboard investigation, then the Huangquan Pavilion would probably have been destroyed long ago.

As the words of Venerable Huangquan fell, his figure appeared in mid-air.

His cold gaze swept across the surrounding space, trying to find the unfamiliar aura he had just sensed.

However, as soon as Venerable Huangquan finished speaking, the air remained completely calm, as if his discovery was just an illusion.

"Ok?"

The Venerable Yellow Springs frowned, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding space, his hands concealed within his sleeves, his eyes half-closed.

"Friend? Since you're here, why not come out and greet me?"

As the Yellow Spring Venerable's voice fell, a terrifying sword aura appeared on the distant horizon. The entire space, before the sword aura, was like a fragile piece of paper, and cracks appeared everywhere.

The elders and disciples in the Yellow Springs Pavilion felt the sharp sword energy from afar, and a look of panic appeared on their faces.

As Venerable Huangquan sensed the sword energy appearing in the distance, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He almost mistook it for the Sword Venerable. Fortunately, he finally realized that although the other party's sword intent was terrifying, it was completely different from the path taken by the Sword Venerable.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, the Yellow Spring Venerable released a terrifying aura, blocking the sword intent filling the sky outside the pavilion. Only then did the people inside the Yellow Spring Pavilion feel at ease, but their gazes towards the distance were filled with intense curiosity.

Swish!

"An iron sword?"

Seeing the elderly figure appear in the distance, Venerable Huangquan was slightly taken aback. He carefully examined Venerable Tiejian and said, "I wondered who it was. It's you."

A hint of apprehension flashed in Venerable Huangquan's eyes.

Iron Sword Venerable, that old fellow has a pretty good relationship with Feng Xian. I wonder what his purpose is in coming here, and what about Feng Xian...?

However, despite Huang Quan's request, Tie Jian had no intention of responding.

"Shh!"

A wisp of sword energy flashed past, and in the next moment, it appeared directly in front of Venerable Huangquan, carrying an incomparably sharp aura, and fell towards Venerable Huangquan's fierce bullet.

"Zheng!"

However, Venerable Huangquan was not entirely unaware. The moment Venerable Tiejian made his move, he sensed it. His fighting spirit surged forth, and he unleashed a palm strike that collided with Venerable Tiejian's sword energy.

"An iron sword!?"

Anger flashed in Venerable Huangquan's eyes. He felt a surge of annoyance at Venerable Tiejian's disregard, but he remained vigilant.

After all, with the Iron Sword Venerable here, the Yellow Spring Venerable was momentarily unsure of what grudge or enmity he had with the other party.

Despite the Yellow Springs Venerable's angry rebuke, the Iron Sword Venerable did not offer any rebuttal.

Actually, that wasn't his original intention. According to the Iron Sword Venerable's original plan, he should at least catch up with Huang Quan. After all, he came to kill the other party, so it wouldn't hurt to reminisce a bit, right?

For some reason, Xiao Fan seemed quite opposed to it, so he told himself, "Just draw your sword and ignore whatever Huang Quan says!"
