Chapter 332: Spread
The course of the war took an unexpected turn. Once the decisive battle was settled on the most important battlefield, the outcome of the war was no longer in doubt.
With many members of the Yun Lan Sect surrendering and laying down their weapons, Xiao Yi Xian quickly ordered the members of the Dark Alliance to take control of them.
Xiao Yi Xian also looked up at the sky, where the nine-headed serpent was present, with deep envy in her eyes.
However, she soon controlled her emotions. The matter with the Yun Lan Sect had been resolved.
When Xiao Ze returns, he can solve his problem with the poisonous body. Then, reaching the Dou Zun level will not be difficult.
In the sky, Qing Lin directed her gaze toward the center of the crater.
At the Dou Zun level, each star of difference is significant. After enduring the terrifying attack of the ancient serpent, the two elders of the Hall of Souls were on the brink of death.
At that moment, Qing Lin's eyes, with her Three Flower Green Snake Pupils ability, detected a spatial fluctuation.
Qing Lin became alert, looking toward the location of the spatial fluctuation, which possibly indicated the presence of a hidden expert from the Hall of Souls.
However, upon sensing the essence of the spatial fluctuation, Qing Lin's cold and vigilant expression relaxed, showing a radiant smile.
Her figure flickered rapidly towards the location of the spatial fluctuation.
In the next instant, two figures emerged from the space: one slender and elegant, the other cold and enchanting.
"Young Master Xiao Ze!" Qing Lin smiled broadly, speaking softly, completely different from her cold behavior during the battle.
Just as he exited the spatial passage and was greeted by Qing Lin's warm smile, any weariness generated during the space travel vanished.
Xiao Ze couldn't help but pat Qing Lin's head.
Xiao Ze didn't know that this gesture left many on the battlefield astonished.
Was this the same powerful warrior who had decided the battle?
How could he show such a tender smile in front of that man?
Xiao Ze glanced at the battlefield, and the smell of blood in the air indicated how fierce the fight had been.
At that moment, Xiao Yi Xian also ascended, smiling as she met Xiao Ze. "How did it go? Did you succeed in your mission?"
"Yes, we arrived at the Snake Empire at the last moment, avoiding more casualties."
Xiao Ze nodded, directing his gaze toward the two elders of the Hall of Souls in the center of the crater.
"It seems the Hall of Souls didn't take this seriously; they only sent two elders."
Xiao Yi Xian blinked. Although she had heard about the central continent through Xiao Ze and Qing Lin, she had never seen it with her own eyes.
That the Hall of Souls sent two Dou Zuns and that this didn't mean anything serious to Xiao Ze was hard for her to imagine.
Xiao Yi Xian began to desire to know the central continent, but she didn't forget her main task and asked Xiao Ze:
"Xiao Ze, what should we do with the surrendered members of the Yun Lan Sect?"
Xiao Ze glanced over and, seeing many with bloodshot eyes, frowned and said coldly:
"Kill all those with bloodshot eyes. Those individuals have practiced secret techniques that are no different from devouring humans to increase their power."
"As for those who haven't practiced those techniques, if they have the capability, check if they have killed innocents, and if so, kill them too."
Xiao Yi Xian nodded. "That's more or less what I thought. I'll give the orders."
While Xiao Yi Xian dealt with the members of the Yun Lan Sect, Xiao Ze, accompanied by Medusa and Qing Lin, headed towards the crater.
The two elders of the Hall of Souls were completely unconscious, on the brink of death.
Xiao Ze controlled the illusion field to finish them off. "Reviving them would be a waste of elixirs."
Medusa and Qing Lin nodded in agreement.
Medusa suddenly asked: "Qing Lin, have they already dealt with Yun Shan?"
"Yun Shan? Wasn't he at the Yun Lan Sect headquarters in the Jia Ma Empire? We didn't detect his presence in the Black Horn Region."
Xiao Ze frowned upon hearing this.
Yun Shan, being the cause of the chaos in the northwest, could not be left unpunished.
But now, Yun Shan, the main culprit, was missing. Given the importance Yun Shan placed on the Black Horn Region, he should have been there to oversee.
"Maybe we can get answers from the remaining members of the Yun Lan Clan," said Xiao Ze, looking at the prisoners.
Shortly after, Xiao Yi Xian, in charge of the interrogations, approached Xiao Ze.
"Yun Shan secretly came to the expansion front. He was secretly directing the operations of the Yun Lan Clan in the Black Horn Region."
"But before this great battle, Yun Shan summoned the high command, ordering them to take the Black Horn Region at all costs, and then went into seclusion."
"I've already sent people to counterattack the base camp of the Yun Lan Clan front…"
Xiao Ze shook his head. "Yun Shan has probably already fled. Maybe he has some method to know that the Yun Lan Clan headquarters was destroyed and decided to launch a desperate offensive."
"So he abandoned all the members of the Yun Lan Clan on the front, considering them disposable?" Qing Lin said, surprised.
Medusa also frowned. She wanted to take revenge on Yun Shan, the main responsible for the persecution of her empire.
But Yun Shan had been cautious, and his decision to abandon his subordinates was quick and ruthless.
"In that case, I will organize a counterattack and issue a bounty for Yun Shan, spreading the news that he is still alive."
Xiao Yi Xian quickly devised a strategy.
With the collapse of the Yun Lan Clan, Yun Shan, known for his evil methods, would not have a safe hideout.
However, Xiao Ze could only nod resignedly. He didn't expect the situation to become complicated, leaving the chapter of chaos in the northwest unresolved.
"That's what we'll do. Let's hope no more problems arise." ...
Outside the Black Horn Region, Yun Shan was on top of a mountain, looking towards the region with eyes full of fury.
The Yun Lan Clan headquarters was no longer an option. Returning now would be suicidal.
"Surely they will try to hunt me… but I'll give them something else to think about."
Yun Shan smiled coldly. "If they hate the soul-devouring technique so much, I'll make it spread throughout the northwest."
He planned to propagate the soul-devouring technique in the northwest. For those stuck at a level for a long time, this technique was a dream come true.
In the Dou Qi continent, there is never a shortage of those willing to take risks to gain power.
Moreover, the destruction of the Yun Lan Clan headquarters had already spread.
The clan had stationed many of its members in the conquered empires, and they would surely have fled. They could be useful to him to continue spreading the soul-devouring technique.
With this in mind, Yun Shan quickly vanished from the area.
