Chapter 425: Void Jade Talisman Shatters! Gu He Is Summoned!

"The weakest of the Four Pavilions has at least one Dou Venerate seated in each? Then doesn’t your Soul Hall have several Dou Venerates?" Nalan Yanran continued to probe after listening to Protector Feng’s introduction.

"Heh, not just several Dou Venerates. Even those standing at the pinnacle of the continent—the Saints—we have quite a few of them!"

Seeing that Nalan Yanran and her group had started to believe his claims, Protector Feng grew smug.

"Saints? Quite a few? Who are you trying to fool? Do you think Grandpa Dragon is so easily frightened?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Detecting the arrogance in Protector Feng’s tone and his veiled disdain for them, Flame Dragon’s anger flared once more. After a loud rebuke, he swiftly threw a punch at Protector Feng’s soul, causing a piercing scream to ring out.

"Ah!"

"You’ve got a lot of nerve! Knowing that I’m from the Soul Hall, yet you still dare to treat me like this? You will regret this sooner or later!"

Protector Feng’s voice carried more confidence this time after boasting about the power of the Soul Hall. Even while enduring Flame Dragon’s torment, he stubbornly issued threats.

"Still talking back? Grandpa Dragon will kill you!"

The hot-tempered Flame Dragon didn’t care for such threats. Hearing Protector Feng’s defiant words, his large hand, glowing with red light, tightened around Protector Feng’s soul, ready to crush it entirely.

Seeing this, Nalan Yanran quickly intervened. "Flame Dragon, don’t be impulsive!"

"Ah—"

Under Flame Dragon’s terrifying grip, Protector Feng’s soul let out another wretched scream. If not for Flame Dragon pausing at Nalan Yanran’s words, Protector Feng’s soul would have been destroyed outright. Even so, his soul was severely damaged, leaving him weak and dispirited.

"If the Soul Hall is as powerful as you claim, then you’re nothing more than a small fry. Killing a nobody like you shouldn’t provoke any attention, right? But if you refuse to honestly explain why you’ve come to my Yunlan Sect, don’t expect to leave alive," Nalan Yanran analyzed seriously, her tone laced with a threatening edge.

After observing the group’s interactions, Protector Feng realized that the seemingly insignificant Dou King girl in front of him was the one calling the shots. Weighing his options to preserve his life, he confessed, "I came here to carry out an extremely important mission for the hall. The higher-ups value this task greatly… Furthermore, every member of the Soul Hall has a soul imprint left behind in the hall. If I die here, the imprint will vanish, and a Dou Venerate-level powerhouse will undoubtedly investigate this place."

"An extremely important mission… So vague. It seems you’re still unwilling to tell us anything meaningful!" Nalan Yanran frowned.

Under her interrogation, Protector Feng remained silent. He knew that revealing the details would ensure the Soul Hall’s wrath upon him as well.

"Yanran, this matter is of grave importance. Mishandling it could spell disaster for the Yunlan Sect!" Yun Shan warned with concern.

"Grandmaster, please don’t worry. Yanran will handle this properly!" After replying respectfully to Yun Shan, Nalan Yanran turned to Flame Dragon. "Flame Dragon, as he said, killing him might alert the Soul Hall. For now, find a place to imprison him."

"Understood, Miss!"

Hearing Nalan Yanran’s instructions, Flame Dragon nodded. He quickly formed several hand seals, sending red energy threads from his palm to bind Protector Feng’s soul tightly. Then he produced a jade bottle, sealed Protector Feng’s soul inside, and applied a restrictive formation to the bottle.

"We don’t know if Protector Feng has any accomplices in the Jia Ma Empire. For the next few days, we must monitor every corner of Yunlan Mountain closely. We should also discreetly investigate the situation regarding the Soul Hall."

After pondering for a moment, Nalan Yanran bade farewell to Yun Shan with Qing Lin and Flame Dragon, swiftly leaving the area.
…

Soon, by the third night, the Soul Hall’s Protector Qing, under Gu He’s control, reached the base of Yunlan Mountain outside the Jia Ma Empire’s capital.

Following the trail of markings left by Protector Feng along the way, Protector Qing determined that Protector Feng had already ascended Yunlan Mountain.

Having figured this out, Protector Qing immediately relayed the information to Gu He.

“Master, it seems Protector Feng has already ascended Yunlan Mountain. What should I do next?” Protector Qing inquired.

On Gu He’s side, after a long flight, he had exited the Black-Corner Region and arrived near a city marked on the map as Tianya City.

This city was the most prosperous within a thousand-mile radius and even boasted a spatial wormhole that directly connected to Central Plains.

However, given Gu He’s current cultivation level, he didn’t need to rely on such wormholes; he could easily tear through space and traverse the void.

At this moment, inside the cabin on the back of the Black Scaled Frigid Python, Gu He received Protector Qing’s message. Calmly, he turned to Yun Yun, who was seated and meditating, and said, “Yun’er, Protector Qing reports that his companion has already entered Yunlan Sect. I wonder how Yanran and the others are dealing with this Soul Hall member.”

Gu He wasn’t worried that Protector Feng could pose any real threat to Yunlan Sect. After all, Yunlan Sect was guarded by Xiao Yixian, Xiao Yin, and Flame Dragon—each capable of utterly overwhelming any Protector from the Soul Hall.

What he hoped was that Nalan Yanran and her companions would handle the matter with caution. A foreign Dou Sect-level individual appearing in the Jia Ma Empire was highly unusual. Simply killing him outright would seem reckless.

“Dear, if the Soul Hall is truly as formidable as you’ve said before, I hope Yanran won’t choose to kill that Protector outright,” Yun Yun replied.

“Let’s hope so… Even if they do kill him, it won’t lead to an irreparable situation,” Gu He responded confidently.

After exchanging a few words with Yun Yun, Gu He sent a remote order to Protector Qing, instructing him to hold his position to avoid any unexpected dangers.

Meanwhile, Gu He’s clone had already entered the Jia Ma Empire and was about a day away from Yunlan Sect. Once he arrived, everything would be easily resolved.

Just as Gu He issued his command to Protector Qing, his expression suddenly turned serious. At that moment, a Void Jade Talisman had been shattered, summoning his projection.

“Who could it be?”

Gu He murmured softly to himself, and his body instantly transformed into a projection, heading toward the summoning point.
