Because Yao Chen was still in seclusion practicing, the Shengyu Sect also needed a sufficiently powerful existence to protect it, so Lin Ran did not bring anyone else with him this time, but acted alone.
After all, the Soul Hall of the Disha Palace in the Tianya Mountains is not well equipped. With two ordinary Dou Zuns and a dozen guardians, Lin Ran can handle a Disha Palace of this level alone.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Lin Ran still brought a lot of medicinal pills with him, and only officially set out after he had mastered the two heavenly-level fighting skills.
The Tianqing Mountains are located in the eastern part of the northwest continent. Because of the existence of the space wormhole in Tianya City, this place is well-known and extremely lively, with a huge flow of people.
When Lin Ran traveled to Zhongzhou, he passed through the space wormhole of Tianya City in the Tianqing Mountains.
Lin Ran was moving very fast. Soon he crossed the plain and entered the mountains. Then, the wide roads in the mountains appeared in Lin Ran's sight.
On the road, one could see many people coming and going. Even from such a long distance, Lin Ran could hear some noise coming from the ground.
The sky above the mountain range was filled with all kinds of strange-looking flying beasts, flapping their wings and flying towards the mountain range. The prosperity here even surpassed that of the Holy Rain Sect!
"I haven't seen you for two years. The Luo family has developed Tianya City even better..."
Lin Ran narrowed his eyes. It seemed that it was time to pick the peach.
When Lin Ran went to Zhongzhou, he already had the plan to take over the Luo family's space wormhole, but for various reasons, he eventually gave up this idea.
However, with more than two years of development, the Holy Rain Sect has now become a force to be reckoned with. Next, as long as the space wormhole between the two empires is completed, the Holy Rain Sect's sphere of influence will be greatly increased in an instant.
The current Shengyu Sect has the ability and capital to swallow up the entire Tianya City!
"Wait, this is..."
Suddenly, Lin Ran's eyes narrowed suddenly, and a dark soul figure actually walked out of Tianya City openly, and with the help of the cover of space power, he directly left Tianya City.
No, it's not just the cover of the power of space. If it was just the cover of the power of space, other Dou Zong-level powerhouses in Tianya City would definitely be able to sense it, but this guy also has an extremely special layer of energy fluctuations on his body.
That is... the power of Tianya City's defensive barrier!
"interesting..."
Lin Ran sneered. It seemed that Tianya City had not been clean for a long time.
I think so.
It is indeed interesting that the Soul Palace is hiding in the city, but it is impossible for such a powerful force to hide completely. Moreover, the Soul Palace still needs to plunder a large number of souls. If it really keeps hiding, it will not be able to achieve the level of the Disha Palace.
but.
If they cooperated with Tianya City, and the Luo family who controlled the space wormhole and knew the information of countless people...
Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and his figure instantly merged into the space.
…
In Tianya City, Luo family.
In the center of Tianya City, there is an extremely spacious bluestone square. In the center of the square is a stone platform. On the stone platform, a huge dark space wormhole is slowly rotating, and an astonishing space fluctuation is spreading from it.
At the far end of the space wormhole, on the high platform of a majestic hall, Luo Cheng, dressed in a blue robe, stared at the space wormhole, stroking his white beard, with a gleam in his eyes.
"With this kind of traffic, our Luo family can be said to be making a fortune every day. This space wormhole is really lucrative, lucrative!"
"Hehehe, this is huge profit? Patriarch Luo, your Luo family is still too timid." Just as Luo Cheng was fantasizing about the prosperity of the Luo family, a group of black mist suddenly emerged strangely in the shadow of the hall, and then hovered in the hall, and strange laughter came from it.
Seeing the black mist, Luo Cheng's face was slightly impulsive, and he said with a smile: "Master Protector, you are joking. My Luo family has a small appetite, and we are already very satisfied with this kind of income."
"Really? In just two years, your Luo family has swallowed up all the major families one after another. Now the entire Tianya City has become a one-man show for your Luo family. Now, Patriarch Luo says that he has a small appetite. This kind of hypocrisy is not good."
The sinister Jie laughed continuously: "Of course, it doesn't matter what you think in your heart, Luo Cheng. As long as you can give me the list of all the high-level alchemists who have passed through the space wormhole, your Luo family will not only become the overlord of Tianya City, but also the overlord of Tianqing Mountains and the overlord of Northwest Continent. What's wrong with that?!"
The Overlord of the Northwest Continent...
Hearing this, Luo Cheng's face flushed a little, and he grinned: "Please rest assured, Lord Protector, I will report to you whenever a high-level alchemist comes in or out!"
"That's great, very great, hahahahaha!"
The black fog surged slightly, and a strange laugh was heard again. Then it began to slowly dissipate in the hall in an eerie manner. Luo Cheng also had a flattering smile on his face.
But suddenly, the black fog that was gradually dissipating was restricted by an invisible force. The next moment, a gray-black figure fell from the space in an extremely embarrassed manner, looking around in shock and panic.
"Who is it!"
"Master Protector, what are you doing..." Luo Cheng looked at the Soul Palace Protector in front of him with a confused face. He seemed to understand something and suddenly showed a solemn expression, looking around cautiously.
The Soul Palace guardian was actually slightly weaker than him, at the level of a three-star Dou Zong. But he was able to so easily and miserably repel a three-star Dou Zong directly from the space. The strength of the newcomer must not be underestimated!
"I was wondering why your Luo family has been doing so well in recent years. It turns out that you are in cahoots with the Soul Palace."
An indifferent voice sounded from the hall. Lin Ran did not hide his whereabouts at all. He directly tore through the space and appeared above the hall.
"This is... a Dou Zun strongman?!"
"Lin, Young Sect Master Lin?!"
Seeing Lin Ran appear, both the Soul Palace guardian and Luo Cheng's faces changed drastically. Luo Cheng's mouth trembled constantly, forcing out an extremely ugly smile: "Young Sect Master, I, I...you..."
Lin Ran glanced at Luo Cheng and ignored him. Instead, he raised his hand and clenched it towards the Soul Palace guardian with a calm expression.
The Soul Palace guardian suddenly felt an irresistible terrifying force bursting out, forcibly pulling his body into Lin Ran's palm.
The next moment, extremely piercing wails and screams suddenly burst out from the mouth of the Soul Palace guardian. The ferocious appearance made Luo Cheng's eyelids twitch.
"Soul-searching method..."
Luo Cheng was not a useless person who knew nothing. He could see what Lin Ran was doing at a glance. He felt horrified and his mind exploded. His fear of Lin Ran increased sharply.
This is not an ordinary Dou Zong expert, he is a member of the Soul Palace. However, Lin Ran did not even ask a single question and just started fighting. This really shocked Luo Cheng.
Isn't he afraid of the revenge of the Soul Palace?
Luo Cheng dared not speak, cold sweat ran down his face, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
The wailing and screaming of the Soul Palace Guardian became smaller and smaller, until the sound stopped, and the Soul Palace Guardian's life was gone.
"I see. A three-star Dou Zun, a four-star Dou Zun, and fourteen Soul Palace guardians..."
Lin Ran slowly opened his eyes and casually put the Soul Palace Guardian in his hand into the storage ring.
A Dou Zong-level corpse soul puppet can also be considered a combat force, and is very useful for maintaining the public security of the Shengyu Sect.
As for Luo Cheng...
"Lin, Young Master Lin..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Young Master?"
"Don't you know that I have already had a falling out with the three scorpion demons? Why do you like to disgust people so much, Chief Luo?"
Hearing this, Lin Ran grinned, and Luo Cheng in front of him suddenly changed his expression. But before he could make any move, Luo Cheng's eyes rolled up and he fell to the ground without any warning.
Soul shock, spirit rupture!
After waving his hand and putting Luo Cheng's body into his bag, Lin Ran glanced at the space wormhole that was still running in the distance, sneered, and then the whole person directly merged into the space.
Let's deal with the Disha Palace first, and then take over Tianya City!
With the memory of the Soul Palace guardian, Lin Ran instantly locked onto the location of the Disha Palace. Soon, Lin Ran arrived in the belly of the Tianqing Mountains.
As his eyes moved, Lin Ran quickly locked onto a number of Soul Palace's whistles, but these whistles naturally could not detect Lin Ran's trace. Lin Ran opened his mouth slightly, and the next moment, an invisible sound wave burst out, and these whistles all lost their lives silently.
Continuing forward, Lin Ran soon arrived at a valley.
This valley is very wide. Inside the valley, there is a huge black palace that is hundreds of feet tall. It is like a crawling prehistoric beast. In the darkness, there is a terrifying and chilling aura.
On its surface, Lin Ran also felt a thick layer of spatial force. It was obvious that in addition to the secret sentries outside, this place was also imposed with an extremely powerful spatial barrier.
However, these things are of no use to Lin Ran.
There is no other way. After Lin Ran merged with the blood of the ancient Taixu dragon, he can only use these spatial means with ease.
With his mind moving, purple fluorescence spread all over his body. He took a step forward and walked directly towards the distorted space. The next moment, the space barrier in front of Lin Ran turned into nothingness and absorbed Lin Ran in!
The eerie black palace sits in the valley, filled with ghosts and dark chains all over the sky.
On some of the stone pillars surrounding the huge black palace, one can vaguely see some dark shadows sitting cross-legged. These figures are all surrounded by black mist, and an eerie air permeates the air.
But in such an environment, Lin Ran was calm and walked around in it openly, and the ghost guards around him seemed to not see him, and completely ignored him!
Not long after, Lin Ran walked into the depths of the hall.
It was an extremely vast square, on top of which, stone pillars hundreds of feet high stood tall.
The stone pillars were covered with countless strange runes. Pitch-black chains extended from the stone pillars, crisscrossing in the air above the square. At the end of these chains, there were suspended balls of faint light, and inside them were souls with painful expressions and illusory bodies.
In the central area of the square is a platform about ten feet above the ground. On the platform, there is a special existence shrouded by a black soul. Four huge chains are connected to the black soul, and also to the chains that imprison all soul bodies.
If a being with strong soul power carefully perceives it, he will definitely find that the soul power in these soul bodies is being extracted by these black chains every moment, and finally integrated into the black soul through the huge chains.
"Such a strong soul power..."
Feeling the soul fluctuations emanating from the black soul, Lin Ran's eyes were burning. He took a step forward and the next moment he appeared in front of the black soul.
There is no doubt that this thing is the soul origin of this Disha Temple. Judging from the strong soul strength, this soul origin has not yet been handed over to the main temple by this branch temple, and it happens to be at the time of maximum accumulation.
If he could completely absorb the soul essence, his soul realm would probably be able to directly rise to the peak of the spiritual realm, or even the level of the heavenly realm!
Without any hesitation, Lin Ran waved his hand and landed directly on the object entangled by the black soul. The pure Yang fighting spirit shook, and the black soul instantly disintegrated.
Immediately afterwards, a ball of light about half a meter in size appeared in front of Lin Ran.
This ball of light is transparent, and there are four pitch-black chains connected to its periphery. It is obvious that this ball of light is the source of the soul power of countless souls in the Disha Palace!
"Okay, okay!"
Seeing this thing, Lin Ran was overjoyed. The Holy Golden Meteorite Heart Fire burst out, instantly burning all the soul-locking chains that were specifically used to restrain the soul. Then he grabbed the origin of the soul and put it into his bag.
At this moment, two terrifying auras suddenly burst out, and two figures filled with murderous aura rushed out from the huge palace. They swept their eyes and finally stopped at Lin Ran. At the same time, they also saw the empty platform.
"Soul Origin! You dare to come to my Soul Palace to cause trouble? You are seeking death!"
"Hand over the essence of your soul!"
Two angry roars echoed throughout the huge hall. Lin Ran then slowly raised his head, looked at the two Soul Hall elders, and grinned.
"You really made me wait for so long. With such a slow reaction, no wonder you were able to let Xiao Yan reach the peak in the original novel."
"But it's not a big problem. My Soul Puppet doesn't need reason. Do you want to end your life by yourselves, or let me melt you? I suggest the former. After all, it won't be too painful that way."
The arrogant words made the two Soul Palace elders furious. They naturally discovered Lin Ran's extraordinaryness, but no matter how extraordinary he was, they had to take back the origin of his soul.
The date to hand in their souls is approaching. They have been accumulating this soul essence for a long time. If Lin Ran takes it away, even if they are the elders of the Soul Palace, they will have to bear great punishment!
