Among all the heavens, I, Xiao Yan, did not use any cheat codes.

Chapter 26 The Good Days Are Coming for the Soul Palace

The back mountain.

After sending three elders to clean up the mess in the two major families, Xiao Yan stopped worrying about the aftermath. With the ringleader eliminated, the rest posed no further threat.

After having a meal of steamed buns and wontons with Xiao Xun'er, and then chatting for two hours, Xiao Yan returned to the back mountain feeling refreshed.

Holding the two soul essences in his hands, Xiao Yan fell into deep thought.

One of them was formed from a third-tier magical beast, a serpent, while the other belonged to someone else. Xiao Yan didn't care what the Soul Palace Soul Envoy's name was; he was just a nobody, so it didn't matter.

After the Samadhi Fire burned his soul, he also obtained some fragmented information.

Even disregarding Mencius's judgment of expelling someone from the human realm based on morality, Xiao Yan still expelled the other party from the human realm, rendering them neither human nor ghost.

The other person is no longer considered human.

The life forms are more like animals than humans.

Xiao Yan was a bit of a germaphobe, so even if he could, he didn't turn those enemies into any kind of material. Instead, he developed a small skill, adding an automatic species recognition setting to the Samadhi True Fire. Humans were reduced to ashes, while alien races were put to full use.

As a result, this thing was automatically identified as non-human.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the evil Soul Palace turns people into ghosts."

Smacking his lips, Xiao Yan placed the two soul essences on the table in front of him, and then removed the seal that he had placed on the ancient ring after finishing his meal with Xiao Xun'er.

Older people shouldn't listen to heart-to-heart talks between two people. Young people are hot-tempered and it's inevitable that they will have different opinions. It's normal for them to have some arguments while chatting.

cough cough.

Xiao Yan believed he was still a good boy, but there were too many female demons, and he couldn't withstand their sharp tongues. He could only follow the example of the World Honored One, cutting off his own flesh to feed the eagles, so that they could taste some sweetness.

"Old man, what's going on? Why have you been pretending to be dead for so long? Is your old lover in the Soul Palace?"

Just as he was thinking of playing with the Pythagorean theorem again next time, he noticed that Yao Lao hadn't come out for a long time and that his soul fluctuations were unusually intense, which made Xiao Yan a little suspicious.

This shouldn't be the case. Although we had agreed that I would handle this matter entirely, the old man's reaction is still somewhat unusual.

Although there wasn't much communication because the old doctor was pretending not to exist, there was still some spiritual exchange throughout the process.

For example, criticizing Xiao for his pretentious behavior.

However, the most unusual thing was that after the fluctuations of the Soul Palace appeared, Yao Lao fell silent, and his soul fluctuations became much more intense than before.

Especially after that person appeared.

The old doctor only spoke with him briefly, and after confirming that he could solve the problem, he fell silent again.

However, the soul fluctuations were still intense, and Xiao Yan strongly suspected that the other party was fighting between the left and right hemispheres of his brain.

Normally, after he has had intimate contact with his female confidante, this lewd old man would immediately jump out, bring up his past glories, and make fun of her.

The fact that this old rascal could be turned into a serious person today must be a very big deal.

Xiao Yan felt he needed to reassess the Soul Palace's level. If the Soul Envoys were ranked according to their level, and each rank had one Soul Envoy, then even a Heavenly Rank Soul Envoy would only be a Dou Huang. He thought the highest combat power would be at most a Dou Zong.

The result could cause the old man to exhibit this behavior...

Xiao Yan felt like his jinx had come true. He had been wondering if a villainous soul would cause him trouble, and it seemed like he had actually run into one.

"Sigh, that's a behemoth. At first, I thought they were looking for me, but it seems you're the one being targeted."

With a sigh, Yao Chen slowly appeared, his brows furrowed, and he shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Sigh, I didn't expect these guys to exist in the Gama Empire. They rarely come here, so why this time..."

"So, it really is an old acquaintance of yours chasing you?" Xiao Yan remained unmoved.

Medicine dust: (눈_눈)

Yao Chen's face fell, and he rubbed his temples. Mentioning an old acquaintance inexplicably reminded him of that filthy Mu Gu, and he was instantly disgusted.

However, the previous emotions were indeed abruptly interrupted.

This reaction made Xiao Yan's eyes widen. He only wanted to prevent Yao Lao from getting into negative emotions and interrupt his train of thought, but he ended up with an unexpected gain.

So there really is a love-hate relationship aspect.

His teacher's early life was indeed quite eventful, probably enough to write a novel.

Xiao Yan's eyes widened even more, blinking as he waited for Yao Lao to tell him a story.

Yao Chen and Xiao Yan exchanged glances, pursed their lips, and fell silent for a long time before finally speaking. They had both cursed Mu Gu a thousand times in their hearts.

"Little guy, I originally wanted to tell you these things when you became stronger, but it's still a bit too early for you right now."

As for that Soul Envoy, you don't really need to care. He was just a nobody in the Soul Palace, and nobody would care if he died.

But the things I'm involved in are extraordinary.

If you want to know, then I can only tell you in advance; you'd better think it over.

As he spoke, the old doctor paused for a moment, his gaze becoming exceptionally serious.

"However, I must remind you that the forces involved behind this matter are far too great, far beyond what sects like the Yunlan Sect can compare to. And once they discover my whereabouts, those who come will not be those kinds of people, but Dou Zong, or even Dou Zun."

You really didn't need to get involved...

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yan interrupted him, staring directly into Yao Chen's eyes.

"Tell me, where is their nearest stronghold?"

Yao Chen was stunned. He guessed that there was a high probability that Xiao Yan would choose to stand on his side, and he had even considered that Xiao Yan might choose to refuse.

In the ancient ring, he also went through a great struggle, with his left and right brains battling each other. In the end, thinking of Xiao Yan's honesty, he decided to tell the truth, no matter what the outcome, he could accept it.

But Xiao Yan's words were something he had never considered.

"Tell me the nearest stronghold, and I'll collect some debts for us first."

I'm very grateful to that person for making me realize today that such a formidable enemy exists.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, exuding a unique air of confidence.

"So that I don't find out who my enemy is too late."

Looking directly at Yao Lao, Xiao Yan spoke with exceptional seriousness.

"A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, while a petty person takes revenge from morning till night. I, Xiao Yan, do not consider myself a good person, but I can still repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude and distinguish between gratitude and resentment."

Since they have such a deep-seated hatred, causing my teacher to fall into such a state, and now dare to target me, then I will make them live in constant fear, even ten years from now, guarding against my revenge from morning till night.

"Even without teachers, I'm bound to run into them. If they dare to target me, they won't have any peace."

"It just so happens that we, master and disciple, share a common grudge. Let's settle both old and new scores together. Master, I, Xiao Yan, will bear your brunt!"

Yao Chen's gaze had become somewhat unfocused, while Xiao Yan smiled carefree and unrestrained.

"As for the gathering of experts and the immense power..."

Haha, teacher, fortunes change every thirty years, they have no idea who they've messed with!

"Within three years, I will definitely first avenge my teacher, and then vent my own anger!"

"Besides, on another note, meeting them is a good thing." After saying this with bright eyes, Xiao Yan suddenly chuckled and changed the subject. "Teacher, your chance to recover has arrived."

Xiao Yan handed over several soul essences with a bright smile.

After so many years of transmigration, I'm finally about to encounter the main villain and begin the main quest.

Let's show him what this Soul Palace really is!

If you're weak, that's fine; you can overcome it with hard work and sweat. But if you're very strong, then I'm sorry.

Xiao is about to give you a little bit of a shocking, overpowered experience.

It's not considered open if it's not turned off!
