Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 631

Suddenly, Hun Ying realized that Mo Shang, who was only at the Dou Zun level before, had become the acting hall master of the entire Soul Hall. In addition, he was personally recommended by the hall master Hun Miesheng to become the deputy commander of the Heavenly Soul Guard. A flash of inspiration seemed to appear in Hun Ying's mind.

"I see!"

Soul Shadow's gaze instantly became intense as it stared intently at Xiao Fan.

"That's it! If that's the case... then it makes sense!"

Hun Ying spoke in a low voice, thinking he had seen through everything. With Hun Miesheng, a Dou Sheng, secretly supporting him, Mo Shang was naturally able to reach his current level in such a short time.

Moreover, the first time one performs the Netherworld Heart-Piercing Array to replace their bloodline, they can reach the sixth rank.

This made Soul Shadow even more certain that his deduction was correct.

"Although the aura you just emitted was at the sixth rank, it's possible that the residual blood energy within the formation caused me to misjudge it since it was your first time entering the formation."

Soul Shadow gently waved his hand, noticing that the other elders were about to speak. His lips moved slightly, and the other three also froze, saying nothing more.

"Alright, now that you've passed the Netherworld Heart-Binding Array, go back."

With a wave of his hand, the other three elders also formed complex hand seals, and Xiao Fan's figure gradually disappeared into the teleportation array.

"Congratulations, sir."

Xiao Fan reappeared at the spot where he had disappeared. The Soul Light was still standing in the same place. Seeing Xiao Fan appear, it understood that Xiao Fan had passed the test of the Netherworld Heart-Piercing Array. This also meant that Xiao Fan's position as the deputy commander of the Heavenly Soul Guard was now completely secure.

Xiao Fan sensed that the soul light was more respectful than before, and he suddenly realized that the Heavenly Soul Guardian held considerable power within the Soul Clan.

"What should I do next?"

Xiao Fan nodded slightly and looked at Hun Guang as he spoke. He only knew that he was going to take over the position of deputy commander of the Heavenly Soul Guard, but he didn't know what to do next.

"My lord, you should first go to the Heavenly Soul Hall to obtain the appropriate identity token. After that, the commander of the Heavenly Soul Guard will assign you a hall-sealing and hunting mission."

Hun Guang respectfully addressed Xiao Fan, hesitated for a moment, and then continued speaking to Xiao Fan:

"However, your journey to the Heavenly Soul Palace may not be smooth. You will probably need to take care of some miscellaneous matters first."

Soul Light saw the probing look in Xiao Fan's eyes. Now that he had taken the initiative to speak, he didn't hesitate and said directly:

"Within the clan, people look down on those who are promoted from the Soul Palace. Even if they pass the Netherworld Heart-Piercing Array trial, many people will still look at them with prejudice. Therefore, outsiders who are promoted from the Soul Palace often suffer disdain."

"and........."

"The position of Deputy Commander of the Heavenly Soul Guard, which you have now taken over, was previously held by Commander Soul Flood Dragon, who commands considerable prestige within the Heavenly Soul Guard..."

"However, I heard that the Soul Flood Dragon Commander suffered a great defeat in the Netherworld Ancient Battlefield some time ago and was punished, which is why he was demoted. But the Soul Flood Dragon Commander is a direct descendant of the Fourth Elder, and the Fourth Elder and the Palace Master often disagree on matters..."

Soul Light spoke slowly, and Xiao Fan immediately understood.

It seems I've been reaping the benefits of someone else's efforts.

Or rather, it's a contest between Hun Miesheng and the four elders of the Soul Clan, and he and Hun Jiao are merely pawns in their game.

Xiao Fan also understood. No wonder when he left the Soul Palace, Hun Miesheng told him not to be afraid, as long as he was within the rules, he would protect him. At first, Xiao Fan thought that the elders of the Netherworld Heart-Piercing Array would target him.

Now it seems that Hun Miesheng's meaning was clearly to tell me that I could rest assured and continue to reorganize within the Heavenly Soul Guard. As long as I did not make any fundamental mistakes, I did not need to worry about the other party's retaliation.

Having risen through the ranks from the Soul Hall, he was destined to be labeled as belonging to the Soul Extinction faction.

Besides, Xiao Fan was worried that the Soul Clan wasn't chaotic enough. The factional struggle between Soul Extinction and the four elders of the Soul Clan was a perfect opportunity for him to stir up trouble.

Hun Guang then explained to Xiao Fan many rules that required caution within the Heavenly Soul Guard, as well as some of the factional distribution of the Heavenly Soul Guard that he knew.

Given Hun Guang's status, he wouldn't be able to reach the core area of ​​the Heavenly Soul Palace without a special mission. However, this time, he was dispatched by Hun Miesheng and flew towards the Heavenly Soul Palace with Xiao Fan along the way.

Within the Soul Realm, many places were equipped with teleportation arrays. After traversing through them multiple times, Xiao Fan also sensed a trace of the Void Devouring Flame's aura within the arrays.

So, the teleportation method within the Soul Clan relies on the Void Devouring Flame to succeed. No wonder the Dou Qi Continent still uses spatial wormholes to shorten the distance between two places instead of direct teleportation.

With the teleportation array in place, Xiao Fan and Hun Guang quickly arrived at the Heavenly Soul Palace, one of the core areas of the Soul Realm.

The teleportation array flashed with light. As soon as Xiao Fan appeared, he sensed the auras of at least three Dou Zun experts locked onto the array. The defensive strength here was naturally beyond question.

"Soul Clan disciple Soul Light, under the orders of Elder Soul Extinction, is to guide Lord Mo Shang to assume the position of Deputy Commander of the Heavenly Soul Guard!"

The moment the two figures appeared on the formation, Soul Light bowed to the four directions, explaining its mission, while the crimson token on Xiao Fan's body also emitted a faint aura.

After verifying the identity of the three Dou Zun soul powers that were secretly guarding them, they withdrew immediately.

However, there were many Heavenly Soul Guards around the teleportation array. Hearing Soul Light's words, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Fan, and many people showed an expression of watching a good show.

Chapter 5 Soul Dragon

As a direct descendant of the fourth elder of the Soul Clan, Hun Jiao naturally had his own power within the Heavenly Soul Palace.

When the many Heavenly Soul Guards around the teleportation array heard that Xiao Fan was the soon-to-be deputy commander of the Heavenly Soul Guard, their eyes all fell on Xiao Fan. However, Xiao Fan's expression was covered by a mask, so they could not see his expression.

In the shadows, several figures gradually disappeared after learning Xiao Fan's identity.

Sensing the figure disappearing into the shadows, Xiao Fan did not intervene.

Since Hun Miesheng had said that as long as things were within the rules, he would cover for him, Xiao Fan naturally had to do as he wished.

"Let's go."

Xiao Fan sensed that the figure in the shadows had already left. After waiting for a moment, he turned his head to look at Hun Guang beside him. Under the watchful eyes of many Heavenly Soul Guards, Xiao Fan and Hun Guang walked along the main road and soon arrived at the outside of the real Heavenly Soul Palace.

"call out!"

Just as Xiao Fan and Hun Guang arrived at the Heavenly Soul Palace, a burly figure, as imposing as an iron tower, appeared in mid-air. The man was almost naked from the waist up, with only a small portion of his body covered by armor. He stared intently at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan felt the other party's burning gaze, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Even before getting close, he could already feel a strong power of blood and qi.

Even before making a move, the opponent, in Xiao Fan's perception, seemed like an ancient ferocious beast, exuding a powerful aura.

"Greetings, Commander Hun Jun!"

When Soul Light, who was standing next to Xiao Fan, saw the iron tower figure appear in mid-air, he respectfully bowed to it, which made Xiao Fan understand the other party's identity.

One of the three commanders of the Heavenly Soul Hall, and also Mo Shang's superior, Commander Hun Jun.

Hun Jun ignored Hun Guang and scrutinized Xiao Fan. Looking at Mo Shang, the young man who was already famous in the Soul Realm, Hun Jun could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from him, even though he looked extremely thin.

"laugh!"

Without uttering a word, Hun Jun's figure flashed in mid-air, and the next moment, he appeared directly in front of Xiao Fan, his enormous fist falling directly towards Xiao Fan's chest.

"boom!"

Sensing the other's movement, Xiao Fan also threw a punch, a dark energy covering his fist. The two fists collided in mid-air, and ripples spread outwards.

Xiao Fan felt the force from Hun Jun's fist in his hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He did not sense any hostility from Hun Jun, and both sides only used their physical strength in this punch.

"Hahaha, good!"

Hun Jun flipped in mid-air and landed not far away. Feeling Xiao Fan's terrifying power, he was quite satisfied. At least the kid in front of him was not just all show and no substance, which was what Hun Jun valued most.

As for whether his deputy commander was Xiao Fan or Hun Jiao, it made no difference to him.

As long as they don't drag your side down, that's fine.

After all, no matter who their backers are, as long as they are in the Heavenly Soul Palace, they have to follow their orders.

Hun Jun beckoned, and the crimson token in Xiao Fan's arms seemed to receive some kind of command, flying straight out and landing in Hun Jun's hand.

Hun Jun took the token, imprinted a mark onto it, and then threw it back to Xiao Fan.

"I've activated your deputy commander's token. There's a hunting mission inside the hall, but the other two deputy commanders aren't here. I was supposed to go, but..."

Hun Jun sized up Xiao Fan, a mysterious smile appearing on his face, and said:

Are you interested in taking over?

Xiao Fan took the token, channeled his soul power into it, and immediately felt a faint connection between himself and the token. He then asked Hun Jun:

"Only me?"

"Of course not."

Hun Jun waved his hand, and his figure gradually disappeared from the spot:

"Your Fengdian Palace and your Heavenly Soul Guards can both be located using the token in your hand. In that case, this task is entrusted to you."

As Xiao Fan sensed Hun Jun's departure, he began to examine the token in his hand. This commander's token was not only a symbol of his identity, but also contained the aura of the Heavenly Soul Guards under his command. Through the token, Xiao Fan could find them. At the same time, it was also the switch for Xiao Fan's sealing formation.

However, these functions were not enabled before, but after obtaining authorization from Hunjun, they can now be used normally.

"Come on, come with me and see what kind of soldiers I have under my command."

Xiao Fan chuckled, sensing the several not-too-distant auras within the token, then turned and headed in one direction outside the Heavenly Soul Palace.

Hun Guang had received Hun Miesheng's signal beforehand, and since he had already decided to follow Xiao Fan, he naturally wouldn't back down at this time.

"Why is Mo Shang fighting with Commander Hun Jun? Could it be that Commander Hun Jun looks down on Mo Shang?"

"Who knows? It concerns the commander, so you'd better say less..."

"Why did Mo Shang change direction? Judging from the direction he's heading... it seems to be towards the location of the Soul Dragon Commander!"

"This is going to be good! Let's go! Hurry up and follow us!"

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

Sensing the direction Xiao Fan was heading, everyone became excited and followed behind Xiao Fan and Hun Guang.

The once quiet avenue was now filled with Heavenly Soul Guards, each with their own thoughts, following behind Xiao Fan and his group, as the large crowd gradually made its way out of the Heavenly Soul Palace.

As Xiao Fan gradually approached the location of the auras within the token, the surrounding environment gradually became desolate, with fewer magnificent and imposing buildings and palaces, and more training grounds resembling military camps appearing.
