Chapter 417 Soul Palace Undercover Plan

"Your Excellency Lei, given the current situation, I will not stay any longer. Goodbye." Xiao Ling saw that the people from the Wanjian Pavilion had already left, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he smiled faintly at Lei Zun.

After saying that, Xiao Ling suddenly waved his sleeves forward, and the air in front of him suddenly twisted, and a dark and deep space crack was torn open in an instant.

Xiao Ling's figure flashed, and he was the first to step into it, and then turned his head to signal, and took a few people around him into the space crack together. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace, leaving only the slightly empty place.

…

The top of the steep mountain surrounded by clouds and mist was originally very quiet, with only the mountain wind whistling through the rugged rocks, as if humming an ancient ballad.

Suddenly, a strange wave appeared in the air without any warning, as if the calm lake was stirred by an invisible giant hand. The air twisted and torn sharply, and a dark and deep space crack suddenly appeared.

After a short period of dead silence, several figures emerged from the crack one after another, with fluttering clothes. They were Xiao Ling and his group.

"Where is this? It should not be far from the place just now, right?" Zi Yan frowned slightly, quickly scanned the surroundings, and then looked at Xiao Ling and said.

"This is the outskirts of the Fenglei Mountains, not far from the Fenglei East Pavilion just now." Xiao Ling responded to Zi Yan's question in a calm voice. Then he looked at Qinglin and ordered calmly, "Qinglin, please summon two snake pets. Liekongzuo is still resting now, so don't disturb him."

"Got it, young master." Qinglin responded obediently, raised his white wrist lightly, and the two thin snakes, one blue and one red, that were originally coiled around him, "whoosh" out, like a smart silk ribbon, and landed in front of everyone.

In the blink of an eye, the bodies of the two expanded rapidly until they were more than ten feet long. The huge bodies lay firmly on the ground, just like two towering hills, and the wide backs were enough for everyone to ride.

The two snake-like monsters were surrounded by the majestic aura unique to the seventh-level monsters, and the invisible pressure spread out, which made Xiao Yan and Lin Yan on the side look surprised, with their eyes full of surprise.

"I can actually ride a seventh-level magic beast. This kind of treatment has never been offered before." Xiao Yan smacked his lips, his face full of amazement, his eyes revealing unconcealed novelty and envy. As he spoke, he raised his foot to tentatively approach the majestic snake pet. His palm subconsciously stretched out, as if he wanted to touch it, but he retracted it out of awe.

Lin Yan also nodded heavily, scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Yes, it is difficult enough to encounter a seventh-level magic beast normally, but I never thought that I could ride one now. It's really majestic!" As he spoke, he was full of excitement that he could not contain, his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't wait to experience this special "mount".

"Okay, the two of you don't get startled here, hurry up and get on it, and I will treat you well when we get to Xingyun Pavilion." Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, urged him, and then ignored him.

After hearing this, Xiao Yan and Lin Yan smiled at each other, and without saying much, they leaped up tacitly, like a nimble swallow, and steadily jumped onto the broad back of the blue giant snake.

"Xiao Ling, from what you said, are you planning to go out for a trip?" Zi Yan looked at Xiao Ling, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity, and couldn't help asking.

"Indeed, you have been talking about wanting to catch a small pet before, haven't you? I just need to deal with some things when I go out later, and I will catch one for you on the way." Xiao Ling said, while reaching out and gently rubbing Zi Yan's head, his eyes revealing pampering and gentleness, and a faint smile hanging on the corners of his mouth.

"Since you are going to catch a pet, then this lady will go with you." Zi Yan's eyes lit up, and her words revealed a bit of eagerness and expectation.

On the one hand, she was thinking about catching the Sky Demon Phoenix with her own hands; on the other hand, she really didn't want to be separated from Xiao Ling for too long. Who knew how long it would take for Xiao Ling to see people again after he went out.

"You can go back to Xingyun Pavilion first. I won't be out for too long this time. Don't worry." Xiao Ling patted Zi Yan's shoulder gently and said lightly.

Mu Qingluan, who was standing aside, heard Xiao Ling and Zi Yan talking about catching pets, and a glimmer of curiosity flashed in her eyes for a moment, but she was just a little stunned, then pursed her lips, suppressed her curiosity, and didn't ask any more questions. She just stood there quietly, as if thinking about something, and her expression seemed quite indifferent.

After giving a few more detailed instructions to a few people, Xiao Ling urged them to set off quickly.

Looking up, I saw the four women lightly straddling another red giant snake.

Then, the two majestic giant snakes suddenly stretched out their huge bodies, flicked their long tails, and slowly took off with several people. As the height gradually increased, their figures became smaller and smaller, until they gradually disappeared in the distant sky. Seeing this, Xiao Ling also retracted his gaze.

Immediately, Xiao Ling's expression condensed, and he quietly released the power of the soul, which slowly spread out in all directions, passing through every corner and every inch of space, carefully conducting a full-scale exploration of the surrounding environment.

When he was sure that there was indeed no one around and the surroundings were so quiet that only the slight sound of the wind was left, Xiao Ling raised his hand with a cautious expression and waved it. A faint light flashed, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was taken out by Xiao Ling.

As soon as the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was taken out by Xiao Ling, it faintly exuded a breathtaking and strange aura, as if it was calling from the depths of the netherworld. The surrounding air seemed to be affected by this aura, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Xiao Ling didn't care about this at all, and his expression was calm as usual. He just waved his arm lightly, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner suddenly seemed to have intelligence. A faint light flashed, and dozens of black streams of light shot out from the banner with a "whoosh".

In an instant, these black shadows appeared in front of Xiao Ling. Each figure was illusory, and there were wisps of black mist around them, as if they were evil ghosts from the netherworld.

As soon as they appeared, these banner slaves knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Ling, their movements were uniform, and they shouted in unison: "Greetings, Master!"

The voice was hollow and gloomy, echoing in this silent place, adding a bit of weird atmosphere.

Xiao Ling glanced at these banner slaves casually and nodded indifferently. The strength of the banner slaves he summoned this time should not be underestimated. The weakest one has a high-level Dou Zong level of profound cultivation.

The three black shadows standing in the front were even more powerful. One of them was a five-star Dou Zun, and the remaining two were two-star Dou Zun level masters.

Such a group of strong people gathered together, even in Zhongzhou where there were many strong people, it could be regarded as a force that should not be underestimated. If they were to deal with the Glacier Valley, with their strength, it would not take too much time to destroy the Glacier Valley, one of the three valleys in Zhongzhou.

"Qinghai, you will lead the team this time. Di Mo and Fei Tian will listen to your orders. You must destroy the Huangquan Pavilion for me, so as to replenish a batch of soul bodies for the Wanhun Banner." Xiao Ling looked indifferently, looking directly at the figure in the black robe in the middle, and his tone was cold and full of unquestionable majesty, and he opened his mouth to order.

The black-robed man heard it, and his body shook slightly, and then he responded respectfully: "Yes, master, I will not fail my mission!" There was a hint of fierceness in his words.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, and then he gently waved his arm, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner seemed to be pulled, floating and falling directly in front of Qinghai. Seeing this scene, Qinghai hurriedly reached out and took it steadily in his palm.

After a slight pause, Xiao Ling then continued to order: "By the way, you still act in the name of the Soul Palace this time. You used to be a respected elder of the Soul Palace, and you should be more familiar with the process than I am. After handling the matter, take the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and go directly back to Xingyun Pavilion to find me."

"Hehehe, master, just relax, I will definitely do this without any mistakes." Qinghai's face floated with a sinister smile, and the red light in his eyes suddenly flashed, as if he instantly recalled the things he did in the Soul Palace in the past, and his eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness and fanaticism.

Immediately, he hurriedly stood up and bowed to Xiao Ling respectfully. After the ceremony, he raised his hand and waved, calling the dozen banner slaves, who turned into black shadows and rushed towards the direction of Huangquan Pavilion like arrows. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from Xiao Ling's sight, leaving only a gloomy wind whistling in the place.

Xiao Ling stared quietly at the figures of the dozens of banner slaves going away until they completely disappeared from the end of his sight, and then he slowly retracted his gaze. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Perhaps, he could arrange a few banner slaves to sneak into the Soul Palace as undercover in the future. After all, those banner slaves are absolutely under his control, and he can use them with confidence.

In this way, he can obtain more valuable information from the inside of the Soul Palace, which will surely be of great benefit to the many things he plans in the future, and may play an unexpected role in helping at critical moments.

From Qinghai Venerable and others, Xiao Ling did know a lot about the situation of the Soul Palace branch. As expected, those branch halls are likely to contain the soul essences collected by those branch halls.

But Xiao Ling did not intend to attack them at the moment. After all, this is the result of the Soul Hall's careful planning for many years. If he rashly touches those soul essences, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Soul Hall's high-level officials, and perhaps some situations beyond his expectations will occur, and even strengthen the supervision of the soul essences or directly transport them to the Soul Clan to supply the Void Devouring Flame. That is not what Xiao Ling wants to see.

Xiao Ling has already made plans in his mind. He plans to wait until his own strength is strong enough, and then further obtain more detailed information about the branch halls. At that time, he will directly attack those branch halls at the same time, catch them off guard, and take all the soul essences in them at once. That is truly foolproof and maximizes benefits.

If he acts in this way, even if the high-level officials of the Soul Hall and even the people of the Soul Clan notice it, by that time, Xiao Ling has already taken all the soul essences of the branch halls. Even if they want to save the situation, they are probably out of reach and have no way to do it.

Xiao Ling shook his head gently, putting aside all the thoughts about the Soul Palace in his mind. There was no rush to place an undercover agent in the Soul Palace. There was another important matter that he had to deal with personally, which was the pet that he promised Zi Yan to catch for her. Xiao Ling had always kept this in mind.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Ling did not hesitate. He suddenly jumped up and instantly turned into a dazzling golden stream of light. He flew rapidly towards the direction of Fenglei East Pavilion again. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot, leaving only a golden light and shadow trail, flickering faintly in the air.

…

The night was like a huge piece of ink-colored silk, slowly spreading out, wrapping the whole world in its arms. Everything was gradually silent, and only the breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, quietly passing through the corridors of Fenglei East Pavilion.

In the area where the core disciples live, silver-white pavilions stand in scattered rows, and the eaves are raised like swallowtails, creating a simple yet exquisite silhouette under the hazy moonlight.

Under the caress of the moonlight, the stone road glowed with a cool luster. The flowers and shrubs beside the road, their branches and leaves rustling with the breeze, seemed to be whispering about what they had seen during the day.

Feng Qing'er had just finished a day of practice, her steps were a little heavy, and she dragged her tired body slowly into this quiet place and returned to her residence.

Today's Sifang Pavilion Competition, after fierce battles, she was exhausted, her muscles all over her body were sore, and her spirit was weak after being highly stressed. At this moment, she only hoped to get into the house quickly, collapsed on the couch, and fell into this familiar place. Find a moment of tranquility in the small world and soothe your tiredness.

After a while, Feng Qing'er returned to her bedroom, gently closed the door with her backhand, stood with her back against the door, and calmed down.

After a moment, she moved lightly to the dressing table, raised her hand to untie the hair ribbon, and her black hair poured down like a waterfall and spread behind her.

Then, she raised her delicate hands and slowly untied the colorful dress. The dress slid down her graceful figure and piled up at her feet, leaving only a light and elegant nightgown that fit her exquisite body. curve.

She raised her eyes lightly, looked at the bed, walked over to it, and lay down on it sideways. Her loose hair covered the brocade quilt, making her face more delicate and charming.

He stretched out his jade hand to pull the brocade quilt, covered his body, and snuggled into the bed comfortably, lying quietly with his eyes closed, as if he wanted to indulge in the tranquility of the night.

However, just when Feng Qing'er was about to indulge in sleep, she suddenly seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and her heart suddenly tightened. Without warning, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up instantly, the corners of her pajamas trembling due to the sudden movement.

At this moment, Feng Qing'er felt as if the blood in her body had been thrown into a raging fire, boiling instantly with a "boom", and the raging heat wave rushed towards everywhere around her body like a wild horse.

Immediately afterwards, an overwhelmingly strong attraction surged crazily from the depths of her heart, like a surging tide, completely breaking her peace. This was not over yet, her breathing also became rapid, and her chest rose and fell violently, completely out of control.

"This feeling..." Feng Qing'er fell into deep thought, and gently licked her red lips with her fragrant tongue. Such a scene was really full of endless temptation. The deep thought lasted for a moment, and her delicate body trembled violently, and her eyes Among them, a look of shock gradually emerged.

"Ancient Phoenix Blood Essence?

When this idea came to her mind, Feng Qing'er was shocked, but she still forced herself to remain calm. Her eyes swept around the room eagerly, her eyes full of heat and anxiety, and she wanted to find out this inexplicable thing. The source of the situation, but except for the quiet night filtering in through the window, there was nothing unusual around him. Only the strange feeling was still raging in his body.

"This strange feeling... The ancient phoenix blood essence is probably not in Fenglei Pavilion. However, judging from the strength of this attraction, the distance between it and Fenglei Pavilion is not out of reach, at most it is Just wandering around and hiding."

Feng Qing'er murmured and slowly withdrew her searching eyes. Her two beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted together, her expression was solemn, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

In fact, Feng Qing'er also knew in her heart that there must be something fishy happening when such an inexplicable situation suddenly happened, and it was definitely not accidental. But at this moment, she had no time to think deeply about the many possibilities, because the ancient phoenix blood essence was too important, and she could not miss even a trace of clues, and she had to find out clearly.

Moreover, the current situation is so special and many unknown factors have not yet been identified. Feng Qing'er has thought over and over again and decided not to bring anyone else with her on this trip to explore the ancient phoenix blood essence.

Even if there is a tricky accident on the way, Feng Qing'er has something to rely on in her heart. She only needs to send a message and with the speed of Lord Lei, she will arrive in a blink of an eye. It will not take too long. Once help arrives, even if she encounters danger, You can also find vitality and cope with it calmly.

More importantly, Feng Qing'er was convinced in her heart that with the powerful reputation of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan that resounded throughout Zhongzhou, who in this vast land would dare to rashly attack a member of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's lineage? Did she act rashly?

The idea was decided, Feng Qing'er didn't hesitate any more, and had no time to sort out her clothes. She flashed to the window like lightning, suddenly pushed open the window, and then, with the strong wind, she rushed towards the direction pointed by the sensor. He swept out and disappeared into the night in an instant, leaving only the sound of clothes flying in the air, echoing in the quiet corridor.

…

The color of the ink is like thick ink, impregnating the entire forest, and the thick night is like a thick curtain, pressing heavily on the forest tops. Occasionally, the shrill cry of a night owl breaks the dead silence, causing a flock of resident birds to flutter in panic.

Suddenly, a dazzling electric light flashed across, quickly splitting the thick night, briefly illuminating this strange place.

At the moment when the electric light appeared, a slender figure was wrapped in the light and flashed past like a ghost.

However, wherever the figure passed, the branches and leaves were not greatly disturbed, and the leaves on the ground only trembled slightly, as if being blown by the breeze, and then returned to silence, but did not make any movement.

As the distance got closer, Feng Qing'er could only feel the blood in her body surging. The inexplicable attraction was like a raging undercurrent, rushing around her body, becoming more and more powerful, going straight to the depths of her heart, making her heart surge and unable to control herself.

Excitement instantly burned throughout his body, and his steps speeded up unconsciously, just like an arrow leaving the string, flying towards the place of induction.

Not far away, on the treetops covered with mottled shadows, Xiao Ling was leaning against them, his slender fingers casually fiddling with the five drops of ancient phoenix blood essence in his palm. As he sensed the breath approaching step by step, Xiao Ling's mouth curled up slightly, outlining a faint arc...
