Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 479

At the top of the giant tree, "Grandma" and Tianchi watched the energy gradually surging in the cold pool. The moonlight connected with the cold pool, and each ray of moonlight that entered the cold pool transformed into pure milky white energy that spread evenly across the bottom of the cold pool.

The solitary figure in the icy pool exuded an aura that shifted unpredictably, sometimes sharp, sometimes fiery, sometimes majestic...

Sensing the ever-changing energy within the icy pool, both "Grandma" and Tianchi's eyes were filled with worry.

"How much longer can she hold on?"

Tianchi's gaze revealed helplessness, and upon closer inspection, one could perceive the sorrow in her eyes. Her gaze fell on the "grandmother" beside her, and Tianchi said, "This hurdle... no one can get through it."

When "Grandma" heard Tianchi's words, her hands gripping her cane tightened, and her face seemed to turn a little paler.

"Tuk!"

Suddenly, the old woman's hand holding the cane trembled violently, and she slammed the cane to the ground. Her expression turned icy cold as she looked at Tianchi beside her and said, "She can do it, they can all do it! Only if they succeed can the Spirit Clan return to its peak!"

"But each of them is more talented than you or me."

Tianchi's expression was calm, eerily calm, like a stagnant pool. He looked at "Grandma" and said, "After all these years, you should know better than me that it gets harder to succeed the further you go, because each of her faces geniuses from different eras."

"It must succeed!"

The "mother-in-law" spoke calmly, her voice laced with clenched teeth.

"boom!"

Just as the two were arguing, a dazzling white light suddenly rose up behind them, followed by a pure white beam that shot straight into the sky, emanating a pure and rich aura that startled both of them.

"It's...it's an Imperial Artifact!"

Sensing the rising aura behind them, the two exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a hint of excitement. Then, the space shifted, and their figures disappeared. When they reappeared, they were in a space shrouded in the fluctuations of a terrifying array.

Within the space, a tiny fragment slowly rippled, and the fluctuations that spread throughout the entire spirit realm emanated from this palm-sized fragment.

"Hahahahaha..."

Sensing this pure and terrifying energy, "Grandma" smiled excitedly, knelt down, and bowed respectfully to the fragments in front of her, excitedly saying, "The Imperial Artifact has returned to its place! This time, the matter of the Holy Maiden will surely be resolved!"

Tianchi, standing to the side, also bowed to the fragments in front of him, a complex expression on his face as he listened to "Grandma's" words.

Chapter 240 Parting, Massacre

Within the Gama Empire, Xiao Fan sensed the ice-blue spear gradually receding into the void, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Just like that, you left?...."

Originally, Xiao Fan thought that this thing he found should have been prepared for him, right?

Xiao Fan was fully prepared for a great battle, but the outcome was so anticlimactic. He had just gotten ready when the thing had already run away.

Moreover, Xiao Fan carefully sensed the speed of the spear and finally realized that he couldn't catch up with it at his own speed. Seeing this, Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly, turned around and looked at You Ruo and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in the distance, and said, "Alright, it's fine now."

"That thing..."

"They've slipped away."

Xiao Fan scratched his head helplessly, looking at You Ruo's mocking face. Trying to save face, he said, "There's nothing I can do. That thing is too fast. It must have been dormant here and has just awakened. I just don't know what kind of powerful being possesses such a terrifying weapon..."

All the anomalies here were resolved. The Amethyst Winged Lion King glared at Kai Jin with lingering fear before leaving with Kai Jin, leaving Xiao Fan and his two children behind.

Xiao Fan's gaze fell on You Ruo, then he waved his hand and left with You Ruo and the two little ones.

...............

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Fan looked at You Ruo sleeping soundly beside him, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Xiao Fan's return to the Gama Empire this time was purely by chance. Since resolving the matter of the Ice Blue Spear three days ago, he has not left again.

You Ruo seemed to have noticed Xiao Fan's departure. In the past few days, she had entrusted the affairs of the snake people to Hua She'er, and took the two little ones to play around with Xiao Fan everywhere.

After a brief but warm three-day stay, many peaks in the Monster Mountain Range fell to You Ruo's hands. Feeling the handprints on the mountain range, Xiao Fan felt he needed to find another place, otherwise, there might not be enough peaks in the Monster Mountain Range.

However, even the happiest days will pass. Three days is a long time, and time flies by. Now, it is time for Xiao Fan to leave.

Xiao Fan lowered his head and gently kissed You Ruo's forehead. His gaze shifted, and he noticed that the two little ones who were fast asleep beside him had already opened their eyes and were lying quietly to the side, pouting and blowing bubbles.

Seeing Xiao Fan's gaze, the two little ones skillfully stretched out their hands, wanting a hug from him.

Xiao Fan's heart softened, and he reached out and scooped up the two little ones. In truth, he didn't want to part with them either, but the matter of the Starfall Pavilion had not yet been resolved. There would eventually be a battle between the Starfall Pavilion and the Soul Palace, and the forces involved would likely involve half-saints. Therefore, Xiao Fan dared not take You Ruo and her children with him now.

Compared to Zhongzhou, the Gama Empire is now the safest place.

Xiao Fan gently patted the two little ones, and when he turned around, his eyes met You Ruo's.

The two looked at each other in silence. Xiao Fan didn't say anything either, but simply hugged You Ruo gently.

You Ruo knew that Xiao Fan's departure was inevitable, so she didn't try to stop him. She went with Xiao Fan to the location where the teleportation array had lit up earlier.

The two stood there for a long time. Xiao Fan gently kissed You Ruo's lips, then kissed Xiao Qi'an and Xiao Lening on the cheeks, before handing the two little ones over to You Ruo.

With a deep gaze, You Ruo took the child and stared intently at Xiao Fan, though her grip on the child tightened involuntarily.

The two little ones were oblivious to what was happening, nestled in You Ruo's arms, still babbling and laughing.

"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long next time I come back."

Xiao Fan's gaze swept over the pendants on the chests of You Ruo and the other two, and he said with a smile, "I'll be back when it lights up."

You Ruo nodded gently upon hearing this.

On the hilltop, the light of the array gradually emerged from the ground. Xiao Fan stood in the center of the array, not with You Ruo and her two children.

A dense spatial force slowly formed within the space, gradually enveloping Xiao Fan.

The two little ones, who had been held in You Ruo's arms, seemed to sense something and suddenly began to struggle restlessly, reaching out towards Xiao Fan's position. However, they were held in You Ruo's arms and did not succeed.

"嘤嘤嘤......"

"Waaaaah..."

The two little ones struggled, reaching out towards Xiao Fan's location. As if knowing that Xiao Fan had left, their spirits plummeted, and they continued to struggle.

"Om~"

Finally, within the teleportation array, the construction of spatial power had reached its peak. Silver light flashed, and Xiao Fan's body slowly disappeared under the envelopment of spatial power.

"dad......."

In the last second before Xiao Fan disappeared, he seemed to hear a childish voice. Xiao Fan was overjoyed and looked up in the direction of You Ruo, only to find that he had returned to the Central State, to the mountain outside Tianbei City.

"Click..."

Watching the teleportation array beneath his feet gradually crumble, Xiao Fan took a deep breath, his gaze resolute: "I will be back, it won't be too late!"

Having calmed his emotions, Xiao Fan unleashed his vast soul power, spreading outwards. With a flicker, he vanished from the spot.

In the Western Regions of Central China, within the Hall of Souls and the Hall of Senluo.

Mo Shang sat on the high platform, looking at the intelligence he had collected. He lowered his head and pondered for a while. After a long while, he looked up, a cold glint in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "All members of the Senluo Palace, assemble!"

As Mo Shang finished speaking, all the Soul Hall experts in the entire Senluo Palace gathered together, their eyes fixed intently on Mo Shang above.

Since Mo Shang took over the Senluo Palace, no one in the palace has dared to contradict him in the past few months, because all the powerful figures who outwardly obeyed Mo Shang but inwardly defied him have now turned into bones.

Looking at Mo Shang above, fear flashed in the eyes of many Soul Hall experts. However, amidst the fear, there was also a clear hint of excitement and flattery.

This is because, in the past two months, in addition to purging those who outwardly obeyed him but inwardly defied him in the Senluo Palace, Mo Shang also gave considerable benefits to others, and all of their wealth went into their pockets.

In addition, Mo Shang also took care of many "targets" with them, and the wealth of these powerful individuals ultimately belonged to them as well.

Now that they heard Mo Shang summoning everyone, they naturally knew that another mission had probably come!

Many Soul Hall experts now have no complaints about following Mo Shang on missions. As long as they listen to Mo Shang, they will not only be safe, but also obtain various resources. No one who has cultivated to this level is a fool, and they naturally know which choice is more beneficial to them.

Mo Shang looked down at the group of Soul Hall experts below with disdain, not caring about their attitude. He had only one goal: to improve his status within the Soul Hall.

Although he has now become the master of the Senluo Palace.

However, Mo Shang knew that the Senluo Hall was just one of the twenty-four Earthly Fiend Halls of the Soul Palace.

It sounds like a high position, but Mo Shang knows in his heart that no matter what, his current position is only that of the master of a branch hall. With the strength of the Soul Hall, the twenty-four Earthly Fiend Halls can be replenished at any time. Only by taking a further step can one be considered to have entered the true core circle of the Soul Hall.

Tiangang Hall!

Above the twenty-four Earthly Fiend Halls of the Soul Palace, there are also three Heavenly Gang Halls, also known as the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Three Halls.

Even the lowest-ranking Human Palace is managed by the Great Celestial Venerable and the Second Celestial Venerable from the Soul Palace, so their strength is considerable. Since Mo Shang has entered the Soul Palace, he naturally wouldn't be unable to govern just because he's the Palace Master of the Senluo Palace.

But what does it take to rise to the top?

The position of the ascent, and...

Fewer competitors.

Some time ago, Mo Shang, along with the people of Senluo Palace, had already dealt with many disloyal and disloyal spies, all for the sake of this moment.

Mo Shang looked at the many powerful figures gathered in the hall and nodded in satisfaction.

"Nine Dou Zong and twenty Dou Huang, it has not been in vain for me to cultivate you during this period of time."

A cold glint flashed in Mo Shang's eyes. With a wave of his hand, the palace gates were closed. Sensing Mo Shang's action, the expressions of the Soul Palace experts changed, and their gazes toward Mo Shang were filled with doubt and unease.

"Rest assured. You are all pillars of the Senluo Palace. I will not kill indiscriminately. You should have all heard the news that I have powerful backers. You naturally understand that I will not stay here for long. After I leave, the position of Palace Master will..."

Upon hearing Mo Shang's words, the group of powerful figures were overjoyed. Among the powerful figures below, three more, whose strength had already reached the peak of the Dou Zong realm, showed a hint of desire in their eyes upon hearing Mo Shang's words. They exchanged glances, and a chill ran through them.

As for Mo Shang's words, they had no doubts whatsoever. After all, the token given to Mo Shang, the Lord of the Senluo Palace, was personally bestowed by the Heavenly Venerable within the palace.
