From time to time, he picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, "Hmm, delicious."
"Aren't you going to make a move?"
Suddenly, a clear and cold female voice rang out. Young Master Lin was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and at some point, a perfect woman with impeccable figure was standing behind Lin Xiu.
So beautiful!
At first glance, he was deeply shocked by the woman's appearance.
Cold and aloof, with a touch of charm mixed with an inviolable dignity.
Lin Xiu actually had dealings with such a woman?! Damn it!
This woman was no less inferior to Master Yun Yun in his heart.
He could only gaze from afar at Sect Master's appearance, but Lin Xiu seemed very familiar with this woman.
Young Master Lin felt sour in his heart, suddenly realizing the woman's face was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
A flash of insight struck his mind, his face turned pale, voice trembling, "You, you, you are Medusa..."
Lin Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, as if an invisible force surged out. Before Young Master Lin could finish his words, his eyes rolled back, and he slumped from his chair to the ground.
Seeing this, Medusa's fingertips emitted a faint light. She kicked the unconscious youth away with her foot, then sat in his original chair, looking at Lin Xiu.
"Don't stare at me like that. When the time comes, I will act on my own."
Under Medusa's somewhat astonished gaze, Lin Xiu used his hand to turn her face in another direction.
Lin Xiu stared straight ahead, as if nothing had happened just now.
Medusa's eye twitched slightly, her jade hand clenched into a fist.
His courage is growing bolder. First, he choked her, and now he even dares to touch this Queen's face.
"The Snake People Tribe was attacked by the Misty Cloud Sect. It should be that guy manipulating things behind Yun Shan."
Lin Xiu looked at the dark mist.
"Isn't it because of you? If this Queen hadn't intervened in the Black-Corner Region back then, how could we have been targeted by this uncanny creature?"
Previously, when Yun Shan referred to him as 'Protector Wu', Medusa chose to reveal herself and came to Lin Xiu's side.
This year, the Snake People Tribe suffered losses in the attack by the Misty Cloud Sect.
Not long ago, the temple was almost destroyed.
She had been holding back her anger all this time, finally seeing the real mastermind and wanting to kill him immediately.
"Tit for tat, don't confuse the issue."
Lin Xiu refused to shoulder this blame.
"Alright, let's talk about now. This Queen wants to kill him, and you will join me in doing so."
Medusa has fought with Protector Wu before; his moves are somewhat tricky, making it risky to act alone.
Now that Dou Venerate Soul has entangled Protector Wu, if she and Lin Xiu join forces, no matter how skilled he is, he won't escape.
"Don't rush," Lin Xiu gently shook his head.
He had promised Xiao Yan to intervene only in unexpected situations, and the current situation was evenly matched.
"Are you crazy? Protector Wu isn't an ordinary Dou Ancestor, and he's not like Yun Shan who can be matched. This is the best opportunity," Medusa said in frustration upon hearing Lin Xiu's refusal.
She stared at Lin Xiu, pondering, "I see now. You're afraid. You fear Protector Wu and his backers."
Lin Xiu couldn't help but smile.
Back when he first entered the inner courtyard, he never thought he would clash with the Hall of Souls.
After all, the Hall of Souls targeted the other seven clans and the entire Central Plains.
Dou Qi Continent is vast and diverse. With strength, one can go anywhere. Why wait for death in the Central Plains?
As for breaking through to Dou God or when Emperor Hun Tiandi or Xiao Yan ascends to become emperor, the primordial emperor's aura will naturally return to this world. There's no need to vie for that strand of emperor's aura.
However, everything changed due to the actions of Su Qian and the other elders.
He has always been someone who repays kindness. The Academy has treated him well, so he cannot stand by and watch the Hall of Souls, led by the Hun Clan, come to the Academy to cause trouble.
Because Lin Xiu knows that the Ancient Emperor Tuo Shi's cave mansion is located beneath the Academy, unless the Academy is moved in advance, such a scene will definitely occur.
Therefore, Lin Xiu has already planned for the future arrival of the Hun Clan. Besides, if it's the Hall of Souls founded by the Hun Clan, why wouldn't he dare provoke them?
It's madness, absolute madness.
Taking back her gaze, Medusa decided she couldn't wait any longer. It's still not too late for her to take action now. If she doesn't kill Protector Wu, she will never feel at ease.
However, as soon as Medusa lifted her butt from the chair, she felt a weight on her shoulder.
"What are you doing? Xiao Yan didn't ask for your help either. Why are you meddling in this? Sit still."
Lin Xiu looked at Medusa whose face showed anger after being pressed back by himself, and his tone gradually became more serious.
Ignoring Medusa's gaze, Lin Xiu's hand never moved.
"Alright, I want to see how much progress you've made this year."
Unable to argue, Medusa simply leaned back against the chair and watched the battle together with Lin Xiu and Zi Yan.
The Covering Sun Cloud Formation, as the guardian formation of the Misty Cloud Sect, was naturally not comparable to ordinary formations.
Activated by numerous elders working together, even a Dou Ancestor could be trapped for a while.
Unfortunately, this time they faced a group of Dou Emperors and Dou Kings. Although their individual strength wasn't top-tier, their sheer numbers were overwhelming.
The formation didn't last long before it was broken open.
Afterwards, led by Hai Bo Dong, everyone rushed towards Xiao Yan.
"Old Hai, help me hold him back for a while."
Xiao Yan shouted softly, spreading his hands as two clusters of flames of different colors appeared.
That move!
Hai Bo Dong's eyelids twitched, memories of the past flooding back like a tide.
"Alright, you get ready."
He immediately agreed.
Not only Hai Bo Dong surrounded Yun Shan, but also Jia Xing Tian, Tie Wu, Su Mei, and other Dou Emperors.
Lin Xiu Ya and Yan Hao dared not approach recklessly, but from a distance, they sent strands of Dou Qi to disrupt Yun Shan.
Taking a brief breath, Xiao Yan glanced at his teacher fighting in the dark mist and then at Yun Shan, a hint of fierceness flashing in his eyes.
"Yun Shan you old dog, today I'll let you taste something big!"
The two-colored flames in Xiao Yan's hands were merging, a gleam of light flashed from the ring on his finger, and then a strand of chilling white flame appeared.
Even before coming here, Old Yao had specially arranged a portion of Chilling Bone Flame in the ring, used to help Xiao Yan construct a powerful weapon.
The fusion of three Heavenly Flames generated terrifying energy, continuously breeding and spreading outward as the flames collided.
In this world, everyone inexplicably felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, as if something terrifying was being born, stirring up unease deep within.
"Get lost! Get out of my way! Die!"
With a palpitation in his heart, Yun Shan dared not underestimate the brewing power of Xiao Yan.
The fluctuation was stronger than his full-force strike.
This was outrageous—Xiao Yan was only at the peak of Dou King, yet he was able to condense an attack stronger than Yun Shan's own?
Yun Shan didn't hold back, erupting with full force, unleashing the might of a Dou Ancestor towards Hai Bo Dong and the others.
Immediately, several people were successively sent flying by Yun Shan.
"So Yun Shan, turns out you're afraid after all."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Hai Bo Dong's mouth as he took Yun Shan's palm head-on, simultaneously releasing his condensed icy Dou Qi.
Yun Shan staggered, as if there was something he wanted to spit out, but he suppressed it in the end.
Without looking at Hai Bo Dong who was sent flying, his gaze searched for Xiao Yan's figure.
Soon, he found his target.
However, as Yun Shan saw Xiao Yan clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted.
He saw Xiao Yan, sweating profusely with a somewhat pale face, holding in his hand a slowly rotating Fire Lotus.
