"So that's how it is."
After listening to Protector Tie's full confession, Yun Shan nodded slightly, then raised his hand and unleashed a burst of energy, instantly annihilating Protector Tie's soul.
No one found Yun Shan ruthless.
Because no one truly believed that an organization that hunted other people's souls and propped up puppets could have good people within it.
If one were to compare the Hall of Souls with the original Spirit Hall of the Douluo Continent.
Although both forces were antagonists, there were still differences between them.
A large portion of those corrupted within the Spirit Hall were high-ranking members, while most of the lower and middle-ranking Spirit Hall members still sided with the common people.
For example, Si Si, Su Yuntao, and Matthew Nuo, among others.
As for the Hall of Souls, it was a purely evil force that would stop at nothing to achieve its goals.
Led by Soul Heavenly Emperor, it had even laid down the Spirit Devouring Life Severing Array across the entire Central Plains.
And as the claws and teeth of the Soul Clan, the Hall of Souls hunted powerful soul bodies everywhere, propping up puppets, committing countless evil deeds in the process.
After Yun Shan eradicated Protector Tie's soul, he looked at Qi Lin.
"Young Friend Qi Lin, now that two Protectors of the Hall of Souls have fallen in the Gama Empire, I'm afraid it won't end here."
"This time they only sent a Dou Zong-level Protector, next time it will likely be a Dou Zun."
Qi Lin smiled upon hearing this and said, "Brother Yun Shan, there's no need to panic. Didn't we just learn the location of his branch hall from this Protector Tie?"
Yun Shan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said, "Young Friend Qi Lin, are we going to take the initiative and directly attack their base?"
"That's right, if we directly attack and destroy that Hall of Souls branch hall, who would ever imagine that the reason for the entire branch hall's demise was merely two minor Protectors?"
Qi Lin shook his head and smiled calmly.
"No need for such trouble."
With that, his soul power spread out.
In the blink of an eye, he had already locked onto the location of the branch hall that Protector Tie had mentioned.
Tianxin Empire, Heavenly Burial Gorge.
After locking on, Qi Lin raised his hand and waved, and a silver spatial rift immediately appeared before him.
Everyone watched his actions, their faces filled with curiosity.
Was he planning to go directly to the Hall of Souls branch hall?
But the next moment, Qi Lin's actions completely stunned everyone.
After opening the spatial rift, Qi Lin raised his hand and pointed a finger into the rift.
A brilliant golden energy immediately shot out from his fingertip.
Is that all?
Everyone looked at Qi Lin, puzzled.
Qi Lin looked at Yun Shan and smiled faintly, saying, "That Hall of Souls branch hall is gone. Now Brother Yun Shan can rest assured."
All the women knew Qi Lin's true cultivation realm, so although they found it exaggerated, their acceptance was strong, and they returned to normal after only a moment of surprise.
But Yun Shan did not know Qi Lin's true strength, so upon hearing Qi Lin say this, he was instantly too shocked to speak.
If it had been anyone else who said this, he would have certainly thought the other party was toying with him.
After all, the Tianxin Empire was tens of thousands of miles away from the Gama Empire.
What kind of attack could be launched from tens of thousands of miles away?
Wasn't this an outrageous absurdity?
Even a Dou Sheng expert could absolutely not accomplish this feat.
But the person who said this was Qi Lin.
Given Qi Lin's character, he would never make groundless statements.
Yun Shan looked at Qi Lin, unable to help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
It was precisely because he believed what Qi Lin said that Yun Shan felt a sense of unreality.
Young Friend Qi Lin… just who is he?
Not a Dou Zun, not a Dou Sheng, could he possibly be a Dou Di?
At the same time.
Tianxin Empire, Heavenly Burial Gorge.
As one of the Hall of Souls' branch halls in the Northwest Continent, the Heavenly Burial Gorge branch hall had two Dou Zun-level hall masters (one main, one vice), as well as dozens of Protectors above the Dou Zong level.
At this moment, there weren't many people in the Heavenly Burial Gorge branch hall, because many Protectors or lower-ranking Soul Envoys were out on missions.
However, it was precisely for this reason that they narrowly escaped disaster.
The clear sky above, which had been cloudless, suddenly opened up with a silver spatial rift.
Subsequently, a golden light shot out from the rift, and upon contact with the outside air, it instantly transformed into a colossal, sky-conquering finger that blotted out the sun.
This colossal, sky-conquering finger erupted with a brilliant, dazzling golden light like the sun.
The moment the giant finger appeared, deep within the Heavenly Burial Gorge branch hall, the expressions of two figures drastically changed, and they flashed out from within the palace.
When the two saw the colossal, sky-conquering finger in the sky, their faces immediately showed terror and fear.
The giant finger emanated a terrifying aura that made their souls tremble, and the moment they were illuminated by the brilliant golden light, their bodies actually began to spontaneously combust.
"What… what is going on?!"
"Could it be that some Saintly Sky Conqueror has attacked this branch hall of ours?"
Before the two could continue their exchange, the brilliant golden, sky-conquering giant finger had already crushed down.
Boom!
In an instant, the entire Heavenly Burial Gorge was melted, transforming into a massive, bottomless pit.
Everyone in the Hall of Souls, including the two Dou Zun realm hall masters, was reduced to ashes… Yunlan Sect.
After Protector Tie's death, Qi Lin's life returned to normal.
Half a month had passed again.
During this half-month, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao still came to Qi Lin's side every day.
Qi Lin had said earlier that they could come to him if they didn't understand anything.
Xiao Yan and his master truly took that to heart, not being polite with Qi Lin at all.
Fearing they would miss this opportunity, the two came to Qi Lin's side every day.
Questions about cultivation, questions about Dou Skills, questions about alchemy.
At first, it was just the two of them, but later, due to the extremely significant results, the group seeking guidance from Qi Lin gradually expanded.
From the initial Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, it later included Nalan Yanran, Yun Yun, Yun Shan, the Tianshui Girl Group, and others.
Even the Saintly Sky Conqueror came to join the fun.
The result was that Qi Lin was even able to guide the Saintly Sky Conqueror.
At this point, his strength was completely exposed.
If he could guide the Nine-Star Dou Sheng peak Saintly Sky Conqueror, did one still need to guess Qi Lin's true strength?
Besides a Dou Di, who else could guide the Saintly Sky Conqueror?
Upon learning that Qi Lin was actually a Dou Di, everyone was first shocked, but soon this shock turned into pride and self-satisfaction.
After all, there were countless people in this world who, let alone receiving guidance from a Dou Di, would never even see a Dou Di in their entire lives.
On the other side.
The Yunlan Sect's Sect Master Yun Yun, finally, at the instigation of someone from the Tianshui Girl Group, entered Qi Lin's sleeping quarters under the cover of night.
The phoenix's first cry, a sleepless night!
On the Spousal Register of a Myriad Beauties, another name was added.
