Chapter 436: The Land of Falling

Chapter 436: The Land of Falling

He had always felt that alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent relied too much on raw soul power when facing enemies, or in other words, there were too few Soul Skills that could make efficient use of soul power.

"Soul Gaze" was a soul technique he had created based on Silent World. When he made eye contact with an opponent, his eyes would instantly burst with soul power, catching them off guard. Those affected's consciousness would be trapped within their own bodies, leaving them at his mercy. It can be described as a terrifying and dominant Soul Skill.

This was Xiao Ming's first time using it, and he was very pleased with the results.

Of course, this Soul Gaze could only trap them temporarily, not permanently. In other words, Old Demon Tian Ming and the others were still alive.

He would not leave any future problems behind. Although he had no grudges against Old Demon Tian Ming, he had become involved with members of the Hall of Souls, so Xiao Ming couldn't take any chances.

Xiao Ming extracted the three dumbfounded soul bodies with his right hand, sealing them inside a jade bottle.

He then placed the jade bottle containing the soul bodies and the three lifeless corpses into his storage ring.

'I can use them later to refine Half-Saint puppets.'

The idea flashed in his mind, and then he turned around to look at the densely packed disciples and elders of the Flower Sect and the experts of the Profound River Alliance in the Flower Realm. At this moment, they were all stunned and rendered silent by his terrifying display of power earlier.

Slightly tilting his head, he shifted his gaze to the beautiful woman beside him, whose face had turned a strange shade of red. A flicker of doubt passed through Xiao Ming's eyes.

'Why is her face so red? Could it be some internal injury?'

Coughing lightly, Xiao Ming softly said, "Lady Hua, this Saint is Xiao Ming, the Leader of the Heavenly Court. I came here uninvited, so please don't take offense."

"How can that be? Alliance Leader Xiao's timely support is deeply appreciated by this Palace. How could we blame you?" Recollecting herself, Fairy Hua suppressed the odd feelings in her heart and replied with a hint of tenderness in her voice.

'Oh.'

Alright, Xiao Ming had seen this kind of reaction from Fairy Hua before. Wasn't it just that of a lovestruck girl?

He didn't think that the other party was obsessed with his looks. Thinking about how he just saved her from danger, three words popped up in his mind - Suspension Bridge Effect.

Could it be that the Suspension Bridge Effect also worked in higher realms?

Xiao Ming took out a large white robe from his storage ring and covered her body, concealing her exposed state.

He then retrieved a bottle of pills from the storage ring and poured out a high-grade pill, feeding it to her.

The pill Xiao Ming brought out was naturally no ordinary product.

Soon, Fairy Qing felt her body improve significantly, and before long, disciples came to attend to her.

Assisted by the disciples, Fairy Qing stood up and spoke to Xiao Ming, "Alliance Leader Xiao, this place is not suitable for conversation. Let's return to the main hall..."

"Sure," Xiao Ming nodded. The group quickly flew towards the direction of the main hall within the Flower Realm.

...

In a grand hall within the Flower Sect's main compound, Fairy Qing, Xiao Ming, and others were seated at different positions. Xiao Ming listened attentively as Fairy Qing recounted the day's events in great detail.

"So, you're saying that Old Demon Tian Ming attacked you with the intention of using you as a stepping stone to break through to the Dou Saint realm?" Xiao Ming's face showed surprise upon hearing Fairy Qing's words.

"Yes, Old Demon Tian Ming has been seeking to capture a high-level Half-Saint, but he himself is only a high-level Half-Saint, so his attempts have failed thus far. This time, he must have heard about my recent breakthrough and wanted to take advantage of my unstable realm to defeat me," Fairy Qing explained.

"He sought assistance from the Hall of Souls, and if it wasn't for your sudden arrival, our Flower Sect would have been in grave danger."

"But now, Old Demon Tian Ming has perished at your hands, along with most of the strong members of the Profound River Alliance. We no longer need to worry about them. However, we can't let this grudge go unaddressed; it would make us appear weak. Once we've settled the situation in the Flower Realm, I will personally lead our people to eradicate them. As for the other sects that joined the Profound River Alliance, not one of them will be spared!" Fairy Qing's eyes flickered with a cold light. If it weren't for Xiao Ming's timely arrival, the Flower Sect would have truly fallen into the hands of the Profound River Alliance.

"Alright, let's not dwell on these unpleasant matters," Fairy Qing shifted the topic to something else.

"I assume Alliance Leader Xiao has arrived in relation to the Flower Sect's joining the Heavenly Court, correct? We've made the decision to agree to it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, my visit is indeed related to that matter. However, there's something else I need you to do."

"Oh? What is it? Just give us your orders, and our Flower Sect will do everything in our power to fulfill them!" Fairy Qing replied eagerly.

"I need you to search for the Fallen Ground of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Tribe."
