Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

But to destroy the Soul Palace...

Hope remains slim.

That's why Yao Lao didn't have an outburst.

Even with his current Dou Sheng level strength, Yao Lao was still deeply moved by Xiao Fan's plan.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, observing the plan and the various powerful forces involved, stared wide-eyed, a hint of fear in his eyes as he looked at Yao Lao, a flicker of doubt in his gaze as if asking:

Teacher, can you handle this?

Seeing this, the old apothecary raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly, rubbed his brows, and nodded with a heavy heart.

With my current strength at the Dou Sheng level, I should be able to... protect him, right?

However, as for the spirit that brought them this plan...

"I'm sorry, it seems you'll have to make do for a while."

With a wave of his hand, the space in front of him was instantly torn apart and then gradually shrank, falling into the sleeve of the old man. As for the soul within, it had already been imprisoned by the old man.

After all, only the master and his disciples truly know about this plan so far, and as Xiao Fan's messenger, Yao Lao naturally doesn't feel at ease letting him leave.

Although the other party had a restrictive technique left by Xiao Fan, even if there was only a one in a million chance, Yao Lao was unwilling to gamble.

"Teacher, we..."

Xiao Yan hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself. He was a true fan of Xiao Fan, and countless times along the way, his senior brother had protected him. Through this journey, Xiao Yan had also honed the demeanor of a strong person.

As a Dou Zun-level figure, he is qualified to express his opinions to the forces on the mainland.

In terms of strength, he is a Dou Zun powerhouse; in terms of background, he is a disciple of the Medicine Saint, and the Starfall Pavilion behind him is the most attractive and powerful force in the Dou Qi Continent. At the same time, he is also the undisputed number one in the Pill Tower Pill Gathering, an honorary elder of the Little Pill Tower, and an eighth-grade alchemist.

Looking across the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Yan can already be considered one of the strongest individuals.

However, at this moment, he still hesitated when faced with Xiao Fan's plan.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Yao Lao also fell silent. He had already reached the Dou Sheng level of strength, and as for his own life and death, he had long since seen through it all.

Now, his two disciples have become his pride.

Without any reluctance, Yao Lao took a deep breath and handed the choice to Xiao Yan.

"The world now belongs to you young people. You decide. Don't worry, your teacher is here for you. Even if a Dou Sheng comes, your teacher can still hold up half the sky for you!"

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Yao Lao's decision, his gaze falling on his palm as strange flames flickered in his eyes.

Fallen Heart Flame, Tortoise Spirit Earth Fire, Three Thousand Burning Flames...

Each and every strange flame was solved by his senior brother, who helped him solve his biggest problem. Even the Three Thousand Burning Flames, which had been imprisoned in the Pill Tower for countless years, was still solved by his senior brother. As long as he could enter the starry sky, he could subdue it.

Although he didn't know the details, Xiao Yan understood that it must have been extremely dangerous.

All of this was simply to make the absorption process easier for the senior brother.

As Xiao Yan and Xiao Fan journeyed together, he recalled the time when they encountered the Black Annihilation Army in the inner courtyard. His senior brother had defied the odds and attacked the Black Annihilation Army commander, who was at the Dou Huang level, all for his sake.

That indomitable figure will forever be etched in Xiao Fan's mind.

The sight of his senior brothers blocking his way filled Xiao Yan with a surge of fighting spirit.

"Senior brother, this time, I finally don't have to hide behind you anymore!"

Xiao Yan looked up at the sky with a disdainful gaze, and his aura rose again. Although his strength had not broken through, the improvement in his state of mind made him even more in control of his power.

The old doctor smiled as he looked at Xiao Yan, then his figure disappeared from the main hall.

...........

The grand banquet at the Starfall Pavilion reached its peak on the third day after the arrival of a group of powerful figures.

The elusive and powerful Medicine Saint, a Dou Sheng expert, appeared before a group of experts, his terrifying strength leaving them utterly astonished.

However, just as the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax, a terrifying spatial fluctuation suddenly erupted from the body of the Medicine Saint in front of everyone, enveloping several powerful figures, including Mu Qingluan, a disciple of the Starfall Pavilion and the personal disciple of Venerable Feng.

However, it only lasted for a moment and did not cause any panic, but it greatly surprised the group of powerful people.

Shortly afterward, the space around the Medicine Saint's body trembled violently once more. After leaving behind a single sentence, he vanished from the spot.

"Hehe, I've made a sudden discovery, so I'll take my leave now."

With the disappearance of the Medicine Saint, the powerful figures from various forces did not take it to heart.

only......

The next day, rumors began to spread across the plains.

"Hahaha, what kind of Medicine Saint is he? In my opinion, he's just asking for death! He's only just entered the Dou Sheng realm and he already wants to condense his own little world, causing a backlash. He deserves it!"

"That's right, is creating your own world really that simple? Space is in chaos, and positions are shattered. It seems that the so-called Medicine Saint is about to break the record of the Dou Qi Continent again, the shortest Dou Sheng powerhouse, hahahaha!"

...........

Amidst the rumors, the top figures of various factions looked on with distant, uncertain eyes.

Although the Starfall Pavilion immediately refuted the rumors, Xiao Yan, as the closed-door disciple of the Medicine Saint, made an example of them by killing several Soul Palace spies who were spreading rumors among the crowd.

However, it had no effect and instead made the matter even more complicated.

Even more surprisingly, the several powerful figures who had disappeared due to the spatial chaos around the Medicine Saint had not reappeared in everyone's sight.

Even Mu Qingluan, the personal disciple of Venerable Feng, has not been seen by anyone since that day.

Someone wanted to check the nameplates of the Azure Phoenix Clan, but found that the entire Azure Phoenix Clan was under heavy guard, and no one except the clan leader could enter the clan's sacred ground.

Although the Qingluan Clan claimed that Mu Qingluan was unharmed, no one was willing to believe it. Even when Venerable Feng personally came forward and said that Mu Qingluan was just in seclusion, it didn't have much effect.

After all, it wasn't just Mu Qingluan who disappeared. The families and forces of the other missing experts also only said that they were safe and sound, but that they were temporarily unable to show themselves due to various reasons.

In this way, everyone seemed to have reached a consensus:

It's likely that the imbalance in the small world within the Medicine Saint's body caused a spatial upheaval, resulting in the complete annihilation of Mu Qingluan and the others, who were not far from the Medicine Saint, within the space of the Dou Sheng powerhouse.

After all, how could they possibly withstand the aura of a Dou Sheng expert?

Although the Starfall Pavilion has lost the protection of the Medicine Saint, it still boasts several Dou Zun powerhouses and remains a first-class force on the continent. However, some people are beginning to have other ideas.

Three days after the Medicine Saint disappeared, he reappeared.

This time, although they were well hidden, due to rumors, many peak Dou Zun experts hid outside the Starfall Pavilion Plain.

Although the Medicine Venerable appeared unharmed, his aura powerful and undiminished, even a peak Dou Zun expert couldn't detect anything amiss; however...

Is it necessary for a Dou Sheng powerhouse to make a special appearance to explain because of rumors circulating outside?

The appearance of the Medicine Saint is precisely the biggest problem.

So, new rumors have emerged!

"The Medicine Saint failed to condense a small world, his position was shattered, and he was seriously injured. However, even a seriously injured Dou Sheng expert is still not comparable to an ordinary Dou Zun. But this kind of injury is almost impossible to recover from. As time goes by, he will eventually fall back to the Dou Zun realm. If not handled properly, his soul may dissipate and he may die!"

Chapter 360 Heavenly Palace Order

The rumor spread like wildfire across the entire plains of Starfall Pavilion.

The powerful figures from various factions, who had been preoccupied with their own thoughts due to the previous events, now seemed to have reached a consensus, their minds filled with intrigue in the face of this sudden rumor.

At this very moment, the Soul Palace, which had aroused the fear of many forces by mobilizing its internal forces, sent dozens of spaceships out of its main hall. Their terrifying aura swept across the Central Plains as they attacked the location of the Starfall Pavilion.

The purpose of the Soul Hall's trip has also been revealed.

"Slay the Saint!"

The breakthrough of the Medicine Saint to the Dou Sheng realm had already changed the landscape of the entire Dou Qi Continent, and the Medicine Saint had become a senior figure that everyone talked about over tea.

Now, with the Soul Palace announcing its intention to slay a Saint, the aura of the entire Dou Qi Continent has once again reached its peak.

After all, even a Dou Zun powerhouse wouldn't necessarily show himself in public under normal circumstances.

Just like the previous Four Directions Pavilion Conference, the appearance of Venerable Feng and others was enough to make the many forces attending the event feel that their trip was worthwhile. But now, the Soul Palace has actually made the bold statement of slaughtering a Saint!

It should be noted that if it weren't for the recent unrest in the Dou Qi Continent, with too many Dou Zun experts dying at Xiao Fan's hands, even the fall of a single Dou Zun expert would normally be a hot topic of conversation in the Dou Qi Continent for half a month.

The emergence of the name "Slaughter Saint" sent chills down the spines of many leaders of various factions.

Only those who truly understand the terrifying power of the Soul Palace can comprehend just how terrifying its foundation truly is.

This is also why even after breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm, the Medicine Saint dared not actively seek trouble with the Soul Palace.

However, the Soul Palace's actions have caused many forces that originally wanted to join forces with the Starfall Pavilion to waver.

Many people participated in this Starfall Pavilion Conference in order to establish connections with the Starfall Pavilion, or more precisely, to establish connections with the Medicine Saint.

However, although the Starfall Pavilion has not yet admitted it, everyone can already tell from the actions of the Soul Palace.

I'm afraid the previous rumors...

This is not just a rumor!

The Medicine Saint, who has just broken through to the Dou Sheng level, may very well become the shortest-reigning Saint on the Dou Qi Continent.

After all, if the Soul Hall didn't have absolute confidence, how could it possibly attack a fully-fledged Dou Sheng expert?

They even made the arrogant statement of "slaying the saint"?

Upon realizing this, the Starfall Pavilion Plains became considerably quieter overnight.

"Hmph, these opportunistic fair-weather friends!"
