Patriarch Huoyun ran away with Tang Zhen, but the atmosphere at the scene did not ease at all. Instead, it became even more solemn. Everyone looked at Yao Lao, wanting to know whether the new Danta Tower Master would pay such a high price for those innocent Dou Zuns.

Eighth-grade elixirs or eighth-grade elixir recipes are extremely precious resources for cultivation. Even for a Dou Sheng, it is impossible for him to eat them casually like candy beans.

Say something unpleasant.

The eighth-grade elixir is the highest-grade elixir circulating in the world. As for the ninth-grade, ordinary Dou Sheng is not qualified to touch it at all, let alone ask someone to refine the elixir. Whether it is the materials for refining the ninth-grade elixir or the cost of hiring a grand master to refine the elixir, it is a terrifying figure, enough to discourage Dou Sheng.

Even within the imperial clan, such as the Medicine Clan who are best at refining pills, the number of ninth-grade elixirs is extremely rare. Its value is far greater than that of a heavenly-grade fighting skill, and it is a strategic-level resource!

In other words, a ninth-grade precious pill can almost guarantee that a high-level semi-saint can enter the realm of fighting saint!
You can imagine its value.

"This kid is ruthless enough. He has captured the Danta Tower Master with just one sentence. It's not easy to be a good person!" The Sky Snake Saint who retreated to a safe distance said to the Spirit Turtle Saint beside him. He was also curious about Yao Lao's choice, and wanted to use this incident to see what the other party's character was like.

If possible, he might be able to temporarily join Danta in the next period of time.

The Spirit Turtle Saint remained silent, quietly waiting for the development of the situation.

"What do you say?" Yao Yan looked at the silent Yao Chen and asked softly. He was not in a hurry at all. The longer the time dragged on, the better it would be for him. He knew the situation in the ancient ruins very clearly. Under the personal control of Hun Mie Sheng, the souls of the three dragon kings and Huang Tian were not far from being completely extracted.

Yao Chen pondered for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "Dan Tower doesn't have so many eighth-grade elixirs, and even if it did, it's impossible for them to be exchanged for these people just because of a word from this old man... But I can take out a ninth-grade precious elixir in exchange for all the Dou Zun strongmen inside, regardless of life or death or soul!!"

The moment the words fell, there was an uproar at the scene. Obviously, no one expected Yao Chen to be so generous. That was a ninth-grade precious pill, and its value was enough to make even a Dou Sheng excited and even force a move!

Many of them were attracted by the ninth-grade elixir, but before they even set foot in the ancient wilderness, they were shocked by the fighting at the level of Douluo.

Afterwards, two large formations came down to suppress and block the space of the ancient ruins.

The terrifying aura made all the fighting saints present tremble.

Now, Yao Chen has taken out such elixir to exchange for someone else. This is a big deal. It also reflects a problem from the side. It seems that a ninth-grade alchemy master has appeared in Danta again!
Yao Yan's eyes moved slightly, looking at Yao Chen, he chuckled and said, "Your alchemy skills have been promoted to the ninth-grade master level?"

With Yao Lao's original alchemy skills at the peak level of the eighth grade, it was obvious that it was natural for him to step into the realm of the ninth grade alchemy master after being promoted to the Fighting Saint.

"Thanks to you~" Yao Chen said indifferently. This sentence was not sarcasm, but the truth. If it were not for Yao Yan's help, it would not be so easy for him to break through this bottleneck. Although the alchemy technique has entered a new level now, what has been lost can never be returned.

After hearing what Yao Lao said, many Dou Shengs hiding in the dark came out and began to actively support him: "The Tower Master is right. The Soul Palace really can't go too far. Zhongzhou has its own rules. If you really want to break the rules set by the Imperial Clan, we old guys can also come out and walk around."

As one person led a group of people, many old guys came out one after another. They were obviously attracted by Yao Chen's identity as a ninth-grade alchemy master.

The ninth-grade elixir is enough for a Fighting Saint to take risks, or even give it a try.

This is the charm of the alchemist. No one can resist the elixir that can directly enhance strength, not even the Fighting Saint.

"Ask him what kind of elixir it is~" Just when Yao Yan was thinking about whether to agree, he heard Hun Mie Sheng's voice. He paused, and said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that he could be promoted to the level of a ninth-grade alchemy master. If I had known earlier, I would have captured him, hehe~"

After saying this, Hun Mie Sheng himself laughed. Apparently, he also found the last sentence funny. With his original realm and identity, it was obviously impossible for him to attack a Dou Zun.

What a loss of points.

And it’s easy to break the rules.

"Type, effect." Yao Yan nodded slightly and asked Yao Chen.

“The Jade Bone Pill is an auxiliary pill that can help a peak Nine-turn Dou Zun to directly break through to the Semi-Saint level. A high-level Semi-Saint has a 40% chance of breaking through to the Dou Saint level. Dou Saint powerhouses below three stars have a certain chance of ascending one or two small levels.” Yao Chen took out a jade bottle and described its efficacy calmly.

The moment the words fell, the eyes of many Douluo present became hot, and at the same time, their eyes looking at Yao Chen were different, because this Jade Bone Pill had an effect on many people present.

"The effect is just average~" Hun Mie Sheng was a little disappointed.

"Do you want to exchange them?" Yao Yan asked. Those Dou Zuns in the formation were the rewards he promised to Hun Mie Sheng. They were the other party's private property. Naturally, he could not make the decision on his own and destroy the good cooperative friendship between the two parties.

"Let's change it. Killing so many Dou Zun powerful warriors at one time will have too much impact... Anyway, we have already obtained so many Dou Sheng souls this time, so this little extra is dispensable." Hun Mie Sheng did not think about it for too long and agreed to it directly.

There was a pause.

He said in a playful tone: "It's a pity that Yao Chen's identity is too sensitive, otherwise we could capture him directly, extract his soul and bring it back to the Soul Palace... The soul of a ninth-grade alchemy master is far more valuable than the soul of an ordinary Dou Sheng!"

"It's a pity that the old monster in Danta is a bit troublesome..."

If it really is a life-and-death fight, Hun Mie Sheng may not be a match for the ancestor of Danta. This is why he has always been so wary of Danta. As for why he doesn't call for people from the Soul Palace... The other imperial clans are not fools. How could they tolerate the Soul Palace dominating the entire Douqi Continent?

Maintaining a balance is the best outcome for the major imperial clans. "Changed!" Yao Yan nodded in response, raised his hand to distort the space, and brilliant flames wrapped in figures emerged from the void. As the brilliant flames dissipated, the frightened Dou Zun inside looked around in panic.

There were no fewer than fifty of them.

Yao Chen did not expect everyone to be intact, so he did not waste time and threw the jade bottle to Yao Yan. With their strength at this level, there was no need to do any tricks of deception, especially since everyone had the means to break up with each other, and keeping the promise was obviously good for everyone.

Yao Yan checked the pills in the jade bottle and handed it to the void beside him. The space twisted and the jade bottle was taken away by Hun Mie Sheng.

Just when Yao Yan was about to leave.

The Heavenly Snake Saint and the Spirit Turtle Saint showed up, licking their faces, and asked Yao Chen for help: "Danta Tower Master, can you help save the people of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan? They are all trapped inside. If you can rescue them, we are willing to work for Danta!"

Yao Yan paused and looked at the two old guys in front of him with familiar auras. His eyes moved slightly. He didn't expect that the Fighting Saint from the Northwest Continent would actually come to Zhongzhou. It seemed that he had friendship with the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan.

Yao Chen was embarrassed when he heard this. It was easy to save the Dou Zun, but he might not be able to afford the price of saving the Dou Sheng!

The Dou Zun who regained his freedom at this moment realized that he was saved by Yao Chen. Many of them knew Yao Chen. After all, the Yao Zun was very famous back then, and now he is the master of Dan Tower. After breaking into the semi-saint realm, his strength is unfathomable. It is rumored that he has already entered the realm of Dou Saint!

"They should forget about it... If you really want to go in and save people, I can give you this chance~" Yao Yan chuckled, raised his hand and twisted the space, revealing a gorgeous fire path that led directly to the interior of the ancient ruins, "I will only give you one stick of incense, if you don't go in, then today's matter ends here!"

"Your Excellency has already set up the formation. If we enter it now, it will be exactly what you want. We are not that stupid!" A two-star Douluo said coldly.

The combat power bonus of the formation is quite terrifying. It may not be effective against the strongest, but among low-star level Fighting Saints, it is enough to allow people to fight across levels and even gain a crushing advantage!

“If you are not stupid, then don’t say stupid things!” Yao Yan glanced at the person who spoke and said indifferently: “The rule that Dou Sheng is not allowed to take action was made by the imperial family. They broke the rule and naturally have to pay the price. If anyone wants to save them, they will all be guilty!”

At this moment, he stood on the moral high ground, relying on his status as an imperial family, he acted recklessly, and no one dared to refute him.

His calm and domineering words made many Dou Sheng present look unhappy, but they were helpless. The Imperial Clan was indeed the maker of the rules of the Dou Qi Continent, and the right of interpretation was in their hands. This could be seen from the Soul Palace's style of doing things.

Everyone knows that the imperial family doesn’t really care about the life and death of ordinary people; they only care about the stability of the Douqi Continent!

The Fighting Saint is not allowed to attack at will in order to maintain this rule.

Yao Chen did not continue discussing this topic. He looked at Yao Yan and asked, "Yao Yan, do you think the path you are taking is correct? Strength is not everything sometimes. There are many other things worth paying attention to in a person's life!"

"But without strength, you are nothing~" Yao Yan replied calmly. He had clearly understood this sentence when he was very young. As the words fell, his figure was wrapped in gorgeous flames and disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a gorgeous fire path, waiting for some fool to enter it.

In response, no one present said anything, nor could they say anything.

The person we were communicating with has left, so we can't really just rush in and kill them, right?
……

In the ancient ruins, there were continuous screams. The pain of soul extraction drove the three dragon kings crazy, but most of their souls had been extracted and they could not resist at all. The pitch-black flames wrapped around the soul locks, burning their souls and absorbing their soul essence, making them weaker and weaker, and gradually even their screams began to become smaller.

"It should be almost done in another cup of tea... Huang Tian is a little troublesome. He is quite powerful, and his soul is exceptionally strong. He seems to have mastered a secret method of protecting souls. It will take some time." Hun Mie Sheng said to Yao Yan.

Yao Yan looked at Huang Tian, ​​whose body was pierced by hundreds of soul chains. The huge body of the Phoenix was like a towering mountain, crawling on the ground with its eyes closed. The soul chains connected to it were blocked by colorful rays of light from time to time, slowing down the speed of pulling.

"It should be some kind of secret method of inheritance." Yao Yan said calmly, and then the vertical pupil between his eyebrows opened. Under his control, dozens of purple-black chains broke out from the vertical pupil between his eyebrows and penetrated into Huang Tian's body in a brutal manner.

In just a moment, Huang Tian's tightly closed eyes opened, with a flash of shock and anger in them. He looked violently and madly at Yao Yan in the sky, because these soul locks were completely different from the soul locks of the previous people in the Soul Palace. They directly penetrated into the origin of his soul and extracted his strength in a barbaric manner.

Huang Tian began to get agitated. He wanted to resist, but he couldn't. He could only watch as the essence of his soul was extracted bit by bit.

"What kind of secret method is this?" Hun Mie Sheng looked at the vertical pupil between Yao Yan's eyebrows and the soul locks bursting out from it with some surprise. These soul locks were very similar to the methods of the Soul Palace, but they were also a bit evil and weird. The aura emitted from them made him, a powerful five-star late-stage Dou Sheng, feel creepy.

"I figured it out by luck." Yao Yan did not explain too much, because he himself could not explain it clearly. He could not say that this was a method that evolved from the vertical pupil between his eyebrows, right?
"It's quite strange that it can actually directly extract the soul essence of others... The Soul Palace needs the assistance of formations to extract the soul essence, and the steps are extremely complicated!" Hun Mie Sheng's eyes condensed slightly and he said slowly.

"It's quite a burden on me," Yao Yan explained calmly.

Hun Mie Sheng nodded slightly, thinking that this was normal. If one could extract the soul essence of others at will, then this method would be too exaggerated. Yao Yan could even easily step into the emperor realm of soul as long as he had enough Dou Sheng soul bodies!
While the two were talking, Huang Tian's soul could no longer hold on and was pulled out of his body by the soul lock. The pain of having his soul forcibly pulled out made him look painful and he wailed.

The soul lock is quite overbearing in extracting the soul, peeling off the soul imprints of the soul and the body bit by bit. The feeling is more painful than skinning and scraping bones, and it is unbearable and goes straight into the depths of the soul.

However, the people present were used to it, and none of them changed their expressions. Combined with the ruins around them and the formation of ghosts and wolves howling, it was indescribably weird and evil!
Obviously, the people standing here are not good people!
After about a cup of tea, Hun Mie Sheng finished his work and left contentedly with several Douluo souls. Yao Yan put the bodies of the three dragon kings and several Douluo of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan into his storage ring.

He was equally satisfied!
Because I have the cultivation resources to enter the Five-Star Fighting Saint level! (End of this chapter)
