Chapter 331: The End of the Great Battle
While Qing Lin was full of doubts, she suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation in the space. The cold aura emanating from it was very familiar to her after several encounters.
"Have they finally arrived?"
Under Qing Lin's watchful eyes, the void in the distance seemed to break, letting out a thick black mist. Accompanied by the heartrending screams of souls, two figures emerged from the mist.
"I thought we wouldn't need to intervene, that the Misty Cloud Sect would handle it, but it seems Yun Shan is unreliable."
An elderly man with some baldness shook his head, visibly annoyed at how Yun Shan had been held back in the Black Corner Territory.
"The foundation of the Jia Nan Academy is deep, and their director, although always on the move, is a difficult opponent."
Said another elder with a white beard.
However, upon appearing and noticing that the presence they had sensed, at the Dou Zun level, came from a young girl, both couldn't help but express their surprise.
"Is it not the director of the Jia Nan Academy? Just an unknown young girl?"
Qing Lin showed a serious expression. According to her perception, these two elders were pinnacle two-star Dou Zun, stronger than her by a margin.
At that moment, the bald elder stared fixedly into Qing Lin's eyes, widening his own.
"You have the legendary Jade Triple-Colored Eyes!"
The white-bearded elder was also surprised, but after the shock, a silent greed arose in him. The Jade Triple-Colored Eyes, known as the most powerful eyes in the world, had such astonishing abilities that they provoked anyone's greed. If he could obtain the Jade Triple-Colored Eyes, he wouldn't have to worry about being stuck at his current level. He had heard that the Ice River Valley was skilled in stealing others' special abilities. If he managed to capture this young girl, the temptation of the Jade Triple-Colored Eyes would be enough to risk going to the Ice River Valley to obtain this secret.
Both elders of the Hall of Souls were well aware of the value of the Jade Triple-Colored Eyes. With a look between them, having worked together for years, they understood each other's intentions well.
"Capture her first and then decide?" Proposed the bald elder.
"Agreed! But be careful, the Jade Triple-Colored Eyes are very powerful; do not underestimate this young girl."
The white-bearded elder added. If before they underestimated Qing Lin due to her youth, now with the revelation of the Jade Triple-Colored Eyes, they were on full alert. This mystical power could be very dangerous.
"Hmph, wanting to capture me is a great illusion." Qing Lin snorted coldly, as the small green flowers in her eyes rotated slowly, emanating a strange power. The elders of the Hall of Souls, with their years of experience, seeing the unusual activity in Qing Lin, immediately took action. The white-bearded elder retreated, allowing the bald one to advance covered in a thick black mist, filled with the screams of tortured souls. Even so, facing Qing Lin's Jade Triple-Colored Eyes, the bald elder felt a moment of mental confusion.
The white-bearded elder, having avoided a direct attack, formed hand seals, making the black mist in his palm stir with soul lights. The powerful energy caused ripples in the surrounding space. As Qing Lin turned her gaze towards the white-bearded elder, he had already formed a huge skull head of black mist, glowing with soul lights.
"Tribulation of the Thousand Souls!"
The gigantic skull opened its mouth, emitting a sharp soul scream that caused those nearby to bleed from their orifices and fall dead. Just its sound rivaled earth-level sound techniques. Qing Lin frowned, retreating as an energetic aura enveloped her to protect against the sonic attack. Knowing that the black skull was the real danger, she raised her right hand. A nine-headed serpent, formed by dark energy, appeared, growing rapidly to the size of a mountain. With a unison roar, the nine-headed serpent launched an attack that disintegrated the black skull in an instant.
"Impossible!" The white-bearded elder was stunned to see the serpent. The bald elder, having regained his mental control, tried to retreat quickly, but the serpent's attack was too fast, striking the black mist with a force that made them feel a weight in their chests and see everything red. Qing Lin, controlling the nine-headed serpent, displayed a strength that left the elders of the Hall of Souls surprised and desperate.
"We can't defeat her..." They thought, trying to escape by distorting the space around them.
"Since you came, stay here."
The serpent lashed its tail, impacting with a force that made the space tremble and throwing the elders like shooting stars towards the ground. Controlling their movements, Qing Lin made them fall in the middle of the Misty Cloud Sect troops, creating huge craters with their impact. With the battlefield trembling and the soldiers of the Misty Cloud Sect in shock, their weapons fell to the ground. The Misty Cloud Sect's war of expansion, wasn't it just a ridiculous illusion? As more and more warriors of the sect abandoned their weapons, the battle finally came to an end.
