Chapter 85 The Prince Replaced by a Civet Cat
Yun Congxin's plan is very simple.
Although they managed to kill Han Feng and Protector Lu by taking advantage of a time difference, this was only the prelude; the impending catastrophe had not yet been averted.
The real threat is the Elder who could arrive in the Black Corner Region at any moment. To deal with him, Yun Congxin plans to exploit an information gap.
Based on the information currently available, the Elder of the Soul Palace does not know which guardian has come to the Black Corner Region, let alone whether the guardian has brought a Soul Envoy.
Therefore, Yun Congxin planned to use the secret techniques of the Soul Palace within her body to impersonate a Soul Envoy who had come to the Black Corner Region with Protector Lu.
Once the Venerable Elder arrives, he will go and test the waters. If it is not Elder Mu Gu who arrives, then Gu He will disguise himself as Han Feng and make a grand entrance, bringing the Venerable Elder "bad news".
To escape the guardian's pursuit, Yao Chen resolutely jumped into the lava river at the bottom of the Burning Heaven Refining Tower. The guardian followed him, and his fate remains unknown.
Yun Congxin believed that if he could persuade him to personally go to the magma world to search for the legacy of the Heavenly Fire Venerable, he would surely be able to provoke those mysterious races in the magma, given the Soul Palace's consistent arrogance.
The rest is quite simple: Dou Zun and Huo are merged, and Elder Zun dies suddenly. Doesn't that sound pleasing to the ear?
During this peaceful period before the elders arrived, Yun Congxin extracted a lot of information from the Protector of the Demon.
Originally, Protector Lu wanted to play some tricks, but his subtle writing was easily seen through by Elder Yao. After receiving another hundred draws, he finally became completely honest and explained the relevant knowledge of the Soul Palace's Soul Envoys in great detail.
During this time, Xiao Yan did not go to the refuge of the inner courtyard disciples, but instead enthusiastically fought with the magical beasts in the vast mountains next to the inner courtyard (physical). In the continuous battles, his fighting spirit quickly solidified and he soon touched the threshold of the Dou Ling level.
Xiao Yan is just one opportunity away from advancing to the Dou Ling level!
Yun Congxin was amazed by his rocket-like cultivation speed.
To be fair, Yun Shan, who was once hailed as the hope of the Yunlan Sect, was stuck at the Great Dou Master level for five long years before finally advancing to the Dou Ling level! And Xiao Yan? He has only been a Great Dou Master for less than a year, yet he has already touched the threshold of the Dou Ling level!
Is there no justice left? Is there no law left?
The uneventful days did not last long. On a sunny afternoon, Yun Congxin was studying the fighting techniques and cultivation methods she had bought at the auction, just like always.
Suddenly, he sensed a calling from the depths of his heart.
"They're here..." Yun Congxin said in a low voice. He soared into the sky, startling birds out of the forest and causing beasts to run wildly.
Sensing Yun Congxin's movement, all the elders and Su Qianguhe opened their eyes.
The real test is coming!
"Greetings, esteemed elder!"
On the Black Domain Plain, Yun Congxin concealed his figure with a thick cloak. He activated the secret technique of the Soul Palace within his body using the method taught by Protector Lu, and his aura was like that of a true Soul Envoy.
Looking at the black-robed figure standing on thin air, the newcomer frowned: "Which of your subordinates' protectors are you?"
"Respected Elder, I am not a protector, but a Soul Envoy, serving under Protector Lu. I recently broke through to the Dou Zong realm..."
"Hehehe, I see. Well, you're lucky then, kid. From now on, you're a protector! I'm in a good mood today, so I'll grant you this opportunity. From now on, you'll work for me..."
"You may call me: Venerable Chang!"
"Thank you, Venerable Chang!" Yun Congxin said, bowing.
"Hmm, neither humble nor arrogant, very good. Tell me, what exactly does that so-called Protector Lu do here?"
"Reporting to Venerable Chang, your subordinates and Dharma Protector Lu are here on orders to capture Venerable Yao's soul!" Yun Congxin said calmly, following the pre-arranged plan.
"Medicine Venerable...hehehe!" The Chang Venerable chuckled twice. "Very well, who has the audacity to send someone to compete with me for credit? Lead the way, I want to see this damned protector and see whose subordinate he is!"
Hmm, this person seems to have a bad temper...
Yun Congxin blinked and continued, "Reporting to Venerable Chang, Protector Lu, in order to capture the soul, chased Venerable Yao into the underground magma of the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy, and it has been more than ten days now..."
"Lava? What exactly is going on? Tell me the whole story from the beginning."
So Yun Congxin told the story he and the elders had carefully compiled: from the time when the Protector of the Demon Slayer found Han Feng, to the battle in Fengcheng against the soul of the Medicine Venerable, and then to the Medicine Venerable's escape to Canaan Academy and his plunge into the lava.
The situation was urgent, so the Protector of Slaughter also chased after them, leaving the Soul Envoy behind to cover their retreat.
"Han Feng?" The Venerable Chang frowned, recalling for a long time before asking, "Is he the master of the Sea Heart Flame?"
"Indeed, Protector Lu and his subordinates only found this person thanks to the Sea Heart Flame."
"Take me to see him!"
According to the plan, Yun Congxin led the Venerable Chang to the bottom of the Burning Heaven Refining Tower to see the Ancient River.
This was Gu He's first time facing a Dou Zun powerhouse, so he was inevitably a little nervous and flustered. When faced with the Chang Zun who suddenly emerged from the spatial rift, he froze on the spot.
Fortunately, Yun Congxin stepped out from behind the Venerable Chang and introduced him, saying, "Mr. Han, this is Venerable Chang of my Soul Palace. Protector Lu told you before that the news you mentioned has reached the ears of the Heavenly Venerable. The Heavenly Venerable has been merciful and asked Venerable Chang to come out of the mountains to lend you a helping hand."
Hearing that Yun Congxin used the word "invite" instead of "send," the Changzun nodded in satisfaction: "So you are Han Feng?"
Gu He cupped his hands and said, "It is indeed this junior."
"Words are not enough. I need proof. Show me the Sea Heart Flame."
With a flick of his finger, Guhe conjured a bright, azure flame.
"It really is a strange fire..." Sensing the heat of the strange fire, Chang Zun clicked his tongue and said, "You alchemists are all crazy. You only have the strength of a Dou Huang, yet you dare to touch something as dangerous as a strange fire... Never mind that, let's get down to business. What are you doing here?"
"Venerable Huichang, Dharma Protector Lu has entered the magma. To prevent him from losing his way, I am releasing my aura here to guide him."
"Hmm... No wonder you're so bold, not even concealing your aura when you see me." The Venerable Chang nodded, looking at the crimson river of lava to the side.
"So, Yao Chen's soul is here?" he asked.
"Exactly, that old bastard is right down there." Gu He said, feigning a gritted-teeth expression, his acting so superb that even Yun Congxin couldn't help but applaud him.
"Hehehe, what I've been searching for has come to me without any effort! Dharma Protector, come with me!" The Venerable Chang rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Huh? Me?" Yun Congxin exclaimed in surprise.
"Your Excellency is wise; the temperature within this magma is extremely high, capable of burning even battle qi. Your subordinate..."
"With me here, the lava can't harm you. Or are you saying that you've been deceiving me from the very beginning, that Yao Chen's soul has already been captured by some damned Protector Lu, leaving you here to buy time?"
