Chapter 234: Interrogation of the Iron Guardian

With the black light moving faster than lightning, Xiao Yuan had almost no time to dodge!
Faced with Xie Bi Yan's sudden and desperate attack, Xiao Yixiang was even more terrified. She wanted to save Xiao Yuan, but she was powerless. She could only watch the black light come to Xiao Yuan.

However, Xiao Yuan, who had long been on guard against Xie Bi Yan, although indeed lacked in fighting spirit, his methods were not limited to fighting spirit!

The majestic soul power was sent into Xiao Yuan's body by Yao Lao. The next moment, a bluish-brown strange fire appeared at Xiao Yuan's fingertips, and a snake shadow was quickly drawn in front of him!
Strange Fire Snake Sealing Technique!
As the snake shadow emerged, the majestic soul power turned it into a strange fire snake. The fire snake opened its mouth and swallowed up Scorpion Bi Yan's desperate attack, turning into a snake totem and falling into Xiao Yuan's palm. They stuck together and became a small snake-shaped mark.

"Are you feeling better?"

Xiao Yuan flashed in front of Xie Bi Yan and slapped his head, sending it flying.

Looking at his body that was getting farther and farther away from him, Xie Bi Yan's eyes were full of confusion.

Why does this woman have so many tricks?
At this time, Little Medical Fairy hurried over, took Xiao Yuan's hand, and looked at his palm.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

The little medical fairy asked quickly.

"It's okay. His attack was sealed by me. It's quite poisonous. Unfortunately, I have strange fire."

Xiao Yuan smiled and signaled to the Little Medical Fairy not to worry.

"Ah That's good."

The Little Medical Fairy breathed a sigh of relief, and then her eyes seemed to see through the snake-shaped mark on Xiao Yuan's palm and saw what was inside.

"This old man is really ruthless. He actually used the magic poison spot on you. You have to react in time, otherwise you will be in trouble!"

A trace of fear flashed across Xiao Yixiang's eyes, and she hugged Xiao Yuan tightly.

After a moment, Xiao Yixiang came out of Xiao Yuan's arms with a cold face, looking at the people from the Wanxie Sect below, with murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

"Although you are fine, I still want to kill all these people from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect!"

There was a strong sense of murderous intent in Xiao Yixiang's words. Obviously, the life-and-death crisis that Xiao Yuan had just encountered made her quite angry.

"Okay, let them take care of the cleanup. Please introduce this demon poison spot to me."

Xiao Yuan held Xiao Yixian's hand, smiled softly, and spoke softly.

"Well, I'll go and explain."

The Little Medical Fairy nodded, then called several elders from the Poison Sect and arranged the relevant matters. She then called Zi Yan, quickly returned to Xiao Yuan's side, and took Xiao Yuan back to Tiandu City.

In the valley of Tiandu City, Zi Yan was sitting outside eating a small pill, while Xiao Yuan was sitting on the terrace on the second floor with Xiao Yixian, talking.

"The Demonic Poison Spot is a vicious move used by the Izumo Empire to cultivate poisonous fighting spirit. It can gather the poisonous fighting spirit of the whole body and shoot it into the enemy's body, eventually forming a black spot. This black spot will continuously release poisonous lines, and when these poisonous lines spread to every acupuncture point in the body, the meridians of the person who is hit will quickly fester, and finally suffer endless pain and die in despair."

The Little Medical Fairy frowned, looked at the snake-shaped mark on Xiao Yuan's palm, and gave a brief introduction.

"In other words, it contains the lifelong fighting spirit of a Dou Zong master. If I can dissolve the poison in it, then that huge fighting spirit will be inherited by me."

Xiao Yuan smiled and said with interest while looking at his palm.

"You didn't know this would happen, did you? That's why you did this?"

Upon hearing this, Little Medical Fairy suddenly looked at Xiao Yuan with an unfriendly expression.

"Not really. I just had a sudden impulse. Before coming here, I read the information about the Izumo Empire. This Demonic Poison Spot is also very famous. A strong man from the Gama Empire had died from this move before. Naturally, I couldn't help but be on guard."

Xiao Yuan shook his head and waved his hand.

"Then you are taking too much risk. The poison spots cast by Dou Zong masters are incapable of being removed even if I advance to Dou Zong, unless I can find a master who is one level higher than the caster. You'd better not do such dangerous things in the future. I don't want your life to be in any danger."

The Little Medical Fairy shook her head, stared at Xiao Yuan seriously, and said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I can find a Dou Zun strongman. Otherwise, how could I dare to take this thing?" Xiao Yuan smiled, and then couldn't help but said: "Do you think there is a possibility that I can force the strongmen of other forces in the Izumo Empire to this point, and then break it, and then I can turn their Dou Qi into my own use?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yixian looked at Xiao Yuan with a dark face, and couldn't help but punch him, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Let's not talk about whether it is right or wrong. Are you going to die? Who knows what kind of mutation will occur when their magic poison spots gather together? What if they can't control it and poison you to death?"

"Hehe, I just said that casually, don't take it seriously!"

Xiao Yuan raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender. At this moment, he was still dressed in women's clothes and looked pitiful. For a moment, Xiao Yixian was no longer angry and could only shake her head helplessly.

"Anyway, just take it easy. This demon poison spot will erupt in half a year. You must find a way to crack it within half a year. Or, I will find a way to help you delay the eruption of this demon poison spot now."

The Little Medical Fairy thought about it and said seriously.

"No, trust me, just give me some time."

Xiao Yuan smiled and said calmly.

"Okay, then I'll protect you."

Hearing this, Xiao Yixian nodded. She naturally chose to believe Xiao Yuan.

Looking at the Little Medical Fairy sitting there, Xiao Yuan nodded, then returned to his room. With a wave of his arm, invisible soul power surged out and enveloped the room.

"Teacher, in your opinion, what do you think of this demonic poison spot?"

Xiao Yuan summoned the strange fire sealed snake in the palm of his hand, looked at the black substance in its body, frowned and said.

"You are quite calculating. This contains the lifetime fighting spirit of a Dou Zong strongman. If you can refine it, I'm afraid your strength will be greatly improved."

Yao Lao stroked his beard and sighed as he observed the evil poison spots in the body of the strange fire sealed snake.

"It's all thanks to the teacher's help, otherwise this thing would have fallen on me, and I would have been in big trouble."

Xiao Yuan shook his head when he heard this. With his own soul power, he was actually unable to perform the Snake Sealing Technique to this extent. It was thanks to Yao Lao's powerful soul power that Xiao Yuan was able to achieve this.

"Well, don't worry. Your five Qi Palaces do require a lot of energy. It's okay to use this method to speed up your cultivation. I will start to study this thing. Maybe I can use it to make a pill this time."

Yao Lao nodded, and his words were quite confident. With his level of alchemy skills, it would not be difficult to deal with a demonic poison spot!

"Then I'll leave it to you, teacher!"

Xiao Yuan naturally trusted Yao Lao very much, and immediately put his mind at ease. Then he took out the jade bottle containing the Iron Guardian, and his eyes swept over the jade bottle in Xiao Yuan's hand. Yao Lao's eyes also condensed slightly, and then he set up another layer of tyrannical seal in the room. After all, it is also a Dou Zong-level soul body, and it cannot be underestimated.

Nodding at Yao Lao, Xiao Yuan wiped the mouth of the bottle with his palm, and the fluctuations of the orange-red flame gradually weakened and slowly dissipated.

At this time, Yao Lao's figure gradually faded and seemed to disappear, but Xiao Yuan knew that he was using the power of space to hide his figure.

With Yao Lao's strength back then, he had already mastered the use of the power of space. Now, to achieve this effect, it only takes a thought.

As the flames dissipated, an illusory soul rushed out, and finally shot towards the roof desperately.

"Oh!"

With a muffled sound, the soul body was bounced back and hit the ground, but was burned by the orange-red flame thrown out by Xiao Yuan, and then a shrill scream was rang out.

Xiao Yuan looked at the illusory soul body that was running away with its head in its hands, smiled faintly, and moved his hand seal. The orange-red flame rolled up and closed at the same time, wrapping it up.

"Iron Guardian was so arrogant just now, but now he's in a hurry to run away?"

Xiao Yuan said with a smile as he looked at the Iron Protector who was carefully hiding in the flame cover, not daring to let his body touch the surrounding flame wall at all.

"What do you want? We Soul Palace guardians all have soul marks in the Soul Palace. If you kill me, you will definitely be discovered. At that time, the Soul Palace law enforcers will definitely not let you go!"

The Iron Protector glared at Xiao Yuan and the others and growled.

"I just want to ask a few questions. As long as the Iron Guardian tells you the truth, I won't kill you."

Xiao Yuan did not comment on the Iron Protector's threat and just smiled.

Hearing this, Iron Guardian's eyes flickered, and he sneered, "What do you want to ask?"

"Tell me the news related to the Soul Palace." Xiao Yuan asked softly while sitting on the chair.

"News from the Soul Palace?"

The Iron Protector was stunned and looked at Xiao Yuan in surprise. Ordinary people avoided them, but he didn't expect that this guy would dare to take the initiative to inquire about this news.

"Boy, you are really so bold. Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you have the strength to defeat two Dou Zong masters. In the eyes of the Soul Palace, it is just a piece of cake to kill you. If you know what's good for you, let me go as soon as possible. Otherwise... ah!"

Before the Iron Protector finished his words, the orange-red flame wall around him suddenly shrank, and finally adhered to his soul body. The scorching heat made his body constantly emit a hissing sound, and shrill screams rang out again.

After burning for about half a minute, the flames slowly dissipated, revealing the extremely weak soul inside.

Xiao Yuan glanced at the Iron Guardian indifferently, and said in a flat voice: "This is not the answer I want. Don't think that I dare not kill you. Moreover, before killing you, I will make you suffer enough."

"You" stared at Xiao Yuan with a resentful look, and then saw the burning orange-red flame wall around him. A trace of fear flashed across the Iron Protector's eyes. After a long while, he said unwillingly: "What news do you want to know about the Soul Palace?"

"How strong is the Soul Palace?"

Xiao Yuan asked calmly. Although he knew some news about the Soul Palace, it was not in detail, and it was not easy for him to tell Yao Lao. However, through the mouth of Iron Protector, he was able to reasonably understand the information about the Soul Palace.

Hearing this, Iron Guardian's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm, and he said, "I'm not afraid of being offended by this question. The hierarchy within the Soul Palace is strict. The guardians alone are divided into three levels: heaven, earth, and man. I am only a human-level guardian. Above the guardians are the respected elders with lofty status. Their strength is so strong that there are few rivals even in the entire Douqi Continent. In the eyes of the Soul Palace, your so-called Poison Sect can be directly wiped out with just a small branch hall."

"I wonder if you know a person called Wu Hufa?"

Xiao Yuan's expression did not fluctuate at all. He tapped the table with his fingers and spoke slowly.

"Duck Eagle? Have you ever met him?"

This time it was the Iron Protector who was a little surprised.

"We've fought." Xiao Yuan said lightly.

With a flash of surprise in his eyes, the Iron Guardian once again looked at the young man in front of him. After a moment, he said, "He is also a guardian of the Soul Palace, but he is more senior than me. He is an earth-level guardian."

"So where do you submit your captured souls?"

Xiao Yuan continued to ask.

"We have a mission every time, and we must complete the mission within the specified time before we can go back and pay. However, this does not mean we have to go back to the headquarters. The Soul Palace has many branch palaces on the continent, and the place where we pay our souls is in those branch palaces."

The Iron Protector looked at the dancing flames around him, trembling involuntarily, and spoke quickly.

"Do you know the locations of several branch temples?"

Xiao Yuan continued to ask questions.

"One, every time when going out on a mission, a human-level guardian is only qualified to know the location of one branch temple, an earth-level guardian can know the location of two, and a heaven-level guardian can know the location of three."

Feeling the heat of the flames around him, the Iron Guardian answered without hesitation.

"where?"

Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked slowly.

Hearing this, Iron Guardian gritted his teeth and shook his head:

"This is the secret of the Soul Palace. If it is exposed, my fate will not be much better than dying in your hands!"

A cold light flashed in his dark eyes, and Xiao Yuan clenched his hands suddenly. The orange-red flame wall suddenly shrank down and instantly adhered to the body of the Iron Protector. The hissing sound rang out again, and the Iron Protector let out a shrill scream.

"You have two choices. One is to die in the flames now, and the other is to pray that your disclosure of the secret will not be known to the Soul Palace." Xiao Yuan said indifferently, looking at the Iron Protector who was covered in white smoke.

"You bastard, ah, I say, I say, let me go!" The Iron Protector had just cursed when the temperature of the orange-red flame suddenly increased. In severe pain, he also shouted hurriedly.

Hearing his voice, the tightened wall of fire slowly spread out, revealing the listless soul.

“The branch temple I know of is very far away from the Izumo Empire, in a place called Tianzangjian in the Tianxin Empire, near the junction of the center of the continent and the northwest region.” The Iron Protector’s soul trembled slightly, and he finally said dejectedly.

"Tianxin Empire. Tianzang Gorge?" Xiao Yuan murmured softly and frowned. He had never heard of this place.

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, glanced at the Iron Guardian whose soul was trembling slightly, and then said lightly: "I hope what you said is true, otherwise if you can't find this place by then, your fate will probably not be good."

"You still want to imprison me?" Upon hearing this, Iron Protector's face changed and he roared.

"Are you going to be let go just like that?" Xiao Yuan sneered. Without waiting for the Iron Guardian to curse, he waved his hand and a suction force surged out, sucking him into the jade bottle again. Then, an orange-red flame poured in. While sealing the jade bottle, it also continuously penetrated with high temperature, causing the Iron Guardian's soul inside to remain in a state of severe injury. (End of this chapter)
