Chapter 431: Father!

  Hearing Gu He’s firm response, Senior Sister Yanran fell silent for a moment. Then, with determination in her gaze, she said, “Master, I uand that you’re encing me. I’m well aware of my own talents. Senior Sister Xian and Little Junior Sister both possess abilities far greater than mine. However, I won’t let this disce me. That position of Saint? I’ll fight for it too!”

  “Senior Sister Yanran, how could Qing Lin’s talent possibly pare to yours…”

  “Little Junior Sister, your Senior Sister is fully aware of her own abilities!”

  Qing Lin, standing nearby, tried to expin nervously upon hearing Senior Sister Yanran’s words, but tly interrupted by her. Just as Qing Lin was about to speak again, Gu He raised his hand slightly, signalio stop. Then, with a calm and warm tone, he said, “Yanran, talent does indeed determine a person’s upper limit. It’s good that you refle this. I assure you, as long as all of you put in the effort, the results will not disappoint you.”

  “I will firmly remember Master’s teags!” Senior Sister Yanran replied early, bowing respectfully to Gu He.

  Seeing this, Qing Lin also followed suit aed Senior Sister Yanran’s words.

  “Very good... As your master, I will be away from the Jia Ma Empire for some time. Here are eight Void Jade Talismans. If you enter troubles during your training jourhat you ot resolve, don’t hesitate to use them, especially if it involves matters reted to the Soul Hall!” Gu He handed ht Void Jade Talismans to Senior Sister Yanran as he spoke.

  “Uood!”

  Receiving the talismans, Senior Sister Yanran nodded solemnly.

  After giving these instrus, Gu He’s avatar arranged for Protector Qing and Protector Feng to leave Nine-Colored Valley. Protector Qing was sent to a city near Wu Tan City, while Protector Feng remained he imperial capital.

  Currently, Gu He’s main body had reached the terrifying peak of the Two-Revolution ar Dou Vee. Before the avatar advao this level, it fao bottlenecks, requiring only immense energy accumution. Thus, the avatar stayed in Nine-Colored Valley, a pce ri spiritual energy, to focus on training.

  In the blink of an eye, nearly two months had passed.

  During this time, Senior Sister Yanran had bee increasingly adept at handling the affairs of Yu. With her overwhelming strength, which could easily surpass that of the eion, her prestige within the sect grew immensely. Even Yun Leng and the other elders began to follow her directives without question.

  Oher hand, Liu Ling, after heading to Sto City with Xiao Jin, had spent over two months expanding the strength of the Senior Brother Merary Group. Its members were no longer fio Sto City alohe group’s influence had spread to the Jia Ma Empire's bions ected to the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Furthermore, the group had recruited two new Dou Spirit-level experts, while the number of meraries at the Great Dou Master level had also increased signifitly.

  Additionally, on the desert’s edge near Sto City, Liu Ling tally entered Yue Mei, the leader of the Sribe’s Charm Snake . During this meeting, the two cshed agaio a previous agreement. However, with Liu Ling’s current strength as a-Star Dou King, he easily defeated Yue Mei.

  Stunned by his rapid improvement, Yue Mei couldn’t help but excim, “What a freak!” After defeating her, Liu Ling deliberately showed off, leaving Yue Mei both furious and helpless.

  After teasing Yue Mei for a while, Liu Ling, seeing her angry expression, tried to coax her bato a good mood. Through their iions afterward, the two began to develop mutual feelings. However, Yue Mei, strained by Queen Medusa’s earlier orders, hesitated to express her true emotions.

  “Yue Mei, ime I e to the Tagore Desert, I’ll bring the Transformation Pill. Wait for me!”

  Standing atop a sand du the edge of the vast desert, Liu Ling waved goodbye to Yue Mei and flew off toward Yu, wings fpping behind him.

  Cloud Empire

  Over two months ago, when Xiao Yi Xiauro the Poiso, she did not rely on Xiao Yin’s power. Instead, she used her own strength to pletely subdue all the strong figures in the sect, including Scorpion Bijan.

  Under her pressure, the Poiso, which had been rife with both open and covert disputes due to its ret establishment, quickly became united and imperable. Any dissenting voices were ruthlessly silenced.

  Within the Poiso, Hua An tio serve as the Left Protector of the sect, managing day-to-day affairs on behalf of Xiao Yi Xian, who was the sect master. Meanwhile, Scorpion Bijan, a Dou Aor powerhouse, became deeply impressed by Xiao Yi Xian’s overwhelming potential aed himself fully to her cause, daring not to defy her in the slightest.

  Thanks to her efforts, within just half a month of her return, the Poiso had solidated power over nearly all the forces in the Cloud Empire, excluding only the Alchemist Association. Even the empire’s royal family, whose role had long been reduced to symbolic, could not resist the tide. Under immense pressure, all royal members were stripped of their titles and reduced to oners. Most of the royal family’s worshippers and generals had no choice but to join the Poiso.

  With this, the Poiso’s roster of Dou Emperor-level experts swelled to over ten, while the number of Dou King-level experts reached an astonishing sixty to seventy individuals.

  After stabilizing the sect, Xiao Yi Xian finally initiated the pn to excavate the Poison Saint’s relics. Large numbers of Poiso disciples were secretly sent into the relics, located within an a forest, to gather venomous is and poisonous pnts. The amount of toxic materials in that a forest was inparable—even ten Cloud Empires could not rival it. Xiao Yi Xian only o visit periodically to collect resources, which provided her with an abundant supply of materials for cultivation.

  Ohese matters were arranged, Xiao Yi Xian didn’t linger in the Cloud Empire but promptly returo Yu.

  Yu, Nine-Colored Valley

  When Xiao Yi Xiauro Nine-Colored Valley with Xiao Yin, she was surprised to see Gu He’s avatar cultivating in seclusion.

  “Is that Master?” she asked uainly, pointing at the blurry figure shrouded in a yer of distorted, sealing energy atop the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus.

  “Xiahat is indeed Master. However, what you see now is only one of Master’s avatars,” Senior Sister Yanran expiruthfully.

  “So that’s how it is. Master truly has so many mysterious secrets!” Xiao Yi Xian nodded gently, her eyes still filled with intense curiosity.

  Not long after, Xiao Jin and Liu Ling also returo Nine-Colored Valley. Although Liu Ling had previously witnessed Gu He and his avatar perf a seamless double act, at this moment, he could only see a vague silhouette. He failed to ect this figure with the refined man he had cshed with outside Sto City.
