Chapter 497: Guardian and War

The invisible and intangible flames burned fiercely in Xiao Yan's heart, and a negative emotion that made him restless suddenly rose in his heart.

Caught off guard, he was unable to respond effectively for a while, and his eyes were full of bloodshot.

An old student who entered the room at about the same time as him saw Xiao Yan's appearance and understood that he was in a state of heart fire. He did not leave in a hurry, but watched from the side and observed his situation.

If the new student could not control the heart fire by himself, he would immediately call for help from the elders.

He suddenly found that there was another person around him. The instructor who was originally on duty at the entrance had come over at some point.

The on-duty instructor nodded slightly at him and said with a smile: "I'll watch, you can practice on your own."

The old student nodded, but did not leave in a hurry. He still looked at Xiao Yan: "I want to see how he will behave."

Xiao Yan quickly reacted and controlled the Azure Lotus Earth Heart Fire to surround it and isolate it from its influence on himself.

At the same time, he called Yao Chen: "Teacher, what is this?"

"Invisible and colorless, it appears through the heart, and there is no trace to be found... This is the Falling Heart Flame." Yao Chen's voice with some doubts sounded from Xiao Yan's heart.

"Is this the Falling Heart Flame?" Xiao Yan was slightly surprised, and then ecstatic.

I haven't even gone to look for it yet, and the strange fire came by itself? Could it be that I am really the man of destiny?

Yao Chen's next words poured cold water on him again: "Don't be excited, this heart flame is too weak, it is not the body of the Falling Heart Flame, but just a projection that naturally appears in your body after approaching it."

"Oh, so..." Xiao Yan was a little disappointed, and soon cheered up.

Since it can produce a projection, it means that the real body of the strange fire is below!

Under the guidance of Yao Chen, Xiao Yan discovered that the Falling Heart Flame can help purify and refine the fighting spirit.

He came back to his senses and found that there were mentors and seniors looking after him. After thanking him, he continued to walk inside.

…

In the depths of Yunlan Mountain, Jiama Empire.

An old man in a moon-white robe stood in front of the cliff, with his hands behind his back, looking at the endless mountains and ridges, his eyes deep.

"Hehehe... I didn't expect you to break through to Dou Zong without making any noise, very good." The black mist-shrouded Wu Protector floated from the air, and said happily.

"You seem to be looking forward to this from the beginning." "Yunshan" looked at him indifferently.

Wu Protector did not hide this, and said hoarsely: "Hehe, since you have broken through to Dou Zong, do you want Yunlan Sect to go further?"

"No." "Yunshan" answered very quickly and decisively.

Wu Protector: "..."

He was silent for a while, and his tone was a little gloomy: "It seems that breaking through Dou Zong has given you a lot of confidence, and you dare to tease me."

"Wu Protector, you can say it directly." "Yunshan" showed a gentle smile on his face.

"Heh, I didn't let you do any tasks for so long before, you have to make up for it now." The guardian Wu said without question.

"You let Yunlan Sect control the entire Jiama Empire first, and then go to war with the Chuyun Empire."

"Yunshan" pinched his right eye socket: "Is this your purpose?"

The guardian Wu laughed softly: "What our Soul Palace needs is souls. It's not good to cause too much killing in normal times, but it's different during wartime... How can there be no deaths in war?

"My previous investment in you was for this from the beginning... I've waited for so long, and it's time for me to reap the fruits."

"I thought the Xiao family was your main target."

The guardian Wu said with a warning: "The matter of the Xiao family ends here, I hope you can forget about it..."

"Does the Chuyun Empire also have Dou Zong supported or controlled by your Soul Palace?"

"Very perceptive..."

"Yunshan" said casually: "It's not hard to guess, I will cooperate with you, but I hope you can also cooperate with me to complete some things."

"Hmm? "The guardian Wu asked.

"Don't worry, it won't conflict with your goal, nor will it be difficult... I'm just going with the flow, it's not convenient for me to take action."

"Okay." The guardian Wu agreed to "Yunshan's" request.

"By the way, where is your apprentice?" The guardian Wu took the initiative to ask about someone who impressed him. "You mean Yunmeng? I sent him to do some things, and he will be back in a while."

"Well, let him do it as soon as possible. I want to have a war that is evenly matched and protracted, and the more people die, the better... Let that kid come and plan it." The guardian Wu looked at "Yunshan" and added:

"Of course, I supported you, so I naturally hope that you will win in the end... The guardians in charge of the Chuyun Empire are not as strong as me, so the final winner will be your Yunlan Sect. ”

…

Behind the main hall of the Yunlan Sect, where all the past sect masters or people who have made great contributions to the sect are enshrined, Yun Yun looked at a tightly closed door with a worried look in her eyes.

“Yanran… I hope you are safe.”

She turned and left the main hall. When she passed the square, she saw two young men in moon-white sect uniforms fighting.

Both of them used the fighting skills of the Yunlan Sect, but they looked a little eerie and strange, and they also exuded a cold aura.

Her eyes became deep.

In recent times, the fighting skills of the Yunlan Sect, from the elders to some core disciples valued by the elders, have improved significantly.

The entire Yunlan Sect presented a prosperous scene, but she felt inexplicably uneasy. One can vaguely feel that there is a huge undercurrent hidden under this vigorous development.

"Sect Master." An older man, who looked to be in his fifties, walked up to Yun Yun where Yun Yun was standing and said hello.

"Elder Yun Du." Yun Yun nodded slightly.

"Perhaps Xiao Yan's incident has stimulated the disciples of the sect. Recently, everyone has worked harder than before. Their cultivation has also increased a lot." Yun Du said with a smile.

"I hope so." Yun Yun felt a little vigilant in her heart.

Yun Du and Yun Cha have made the most obvious and fastest progress among all the elders, and the cold aura on their bodies is also noticeable.

She once mentioned this matter to "Yunshan", but "Yunshan" just said "I know" without giving any suggestions, nor did he appear surprised or surprised. It was obvious that he had already discovered this situation. , or in other words, it was her teacher herself who brought about the change.

Therefore, although Yun Yun was wary and suspicious, she still maintained restraint and did not adopt a more radical way to test.

…

After communicating with Yunshan and determining the general goal, Protector Wu left Yunlan Sect.

He flew towards the Izumo Empire in the north.

One day later, he came to a remote mountain stream, and a familiar yet unfamiliar wave of fighting energy came from a distance.

The bird protector flew straight over there without hesitation.

At the bottom of the mountain stream, a river flows quietly. There is a huge boulder protruding from the water on the river. On top of the boulder, stands a figure wearing a black robe, with a light mist lingering on his body. There is also a big word "soul" written on the back of the black robe.

The Bird Guardian flew down and landed on the other side of the boulder. He asked with some confusion: "Who are you? Where is the Iron Guardian?"

The Iron Protector is the protector responsible for the affairs of the Izumo Empire. He has made an agreement with the Wu Protector to jointly start a war between the Izumo Empire and the Gama Empire.

They originally made an appointment to discuss the follow-up development and the distribution of those high-end souls here, but now the Iron Protector is nowhere to be seen, and a strange face comes.

"I am Protector Meng. Protector Iron will not come. Now I will take over some of his arrangements in the Izumo Empire." Protector Meng pinched the monocle on his right eye and showed a smile.

"Huh?" A chain suddenly protruded from the black mist and pierced towards Protector Meng.

With a calm expression, the latter condensed a black sphere in his palm and pressed it against the stabbing chain.

With a "bang", the chain was bounced off, the two collided, fighting energy burst out, and the turbulent air flow rapidly spread to the surroundings.

"Guardian Wu, what do you mean by this?" Protector Meng retreated slightly using the power produced by the collision.

"Jie Jie, I just want to confirm whether you are qualified to cooperate with me..." Guardian Wu didn't seem to hear the anger in Guardian Meng's tone.

Protector Meng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "As for Protector Bird, you should pay more attention. Maybe at some point, I will also want to confirm your qualifications as Protector."

The bird protector didn't pay attention, he let out a low laugh and said:

"Since you replaced the Iron Guardian and took over the affairs of the Izumo Empire, let's proceed as agreed before."
