Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Fan with an awkward smile on his face and slowly began to speak, adjusting his mask as he spoke.

"Senior brother, aren't you planning to get in touch with Liu Ke?"

Looking at Liu Ke, who had completely killed the assassins from the Yellow Springs Pavilion in the distance, Xiao Yan spoke calmly and curiously to Xiao Fan.

"Her family is located in the Western Regions, and her father is the lord of a city, so her strength shouldn't be too weak. Perhaps she can help us investigate the true strength of the Soul Palace..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan shook his head slightly, withdrew his gaze, and looked at Xiao Yan beside him, saying, "No, the importance of our teacher is self-evident. The Soul Palace's guards are definitely extremely powerful. With their strength, they might not only fail to help us, but could also easily alert the enemy. Let Elder Feng handle this matter."

"Besides, everything Liu Ke said is true, but we can't guarantee who's behind her..."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and then the two of them did not stay where they were, but headed towards the nearest city.

The nearest city to where the two were located was called Blackwater City. However, Blackwater City was not very prosperous and did not have any spatial wormholes. The reason why Xiao Fan and his companion chose this place was to first find out about the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

After all, the information they had just received came from Liu Ke.

Upon entering Blackwater City, Xiao Fan and his companion saw a kill warrant posted at the city gate, bearing the seal of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. The seal emitted a faint, oppressive aura of thunder, deterring anyone from damaging it, lest they incur the wrath of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion…

Beside the mark of the Lingfenglei Pavilion, there was a faint phantom of a demonic phoenix, which was none other than the emblem of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

The only saving grace is that the Wind and Thunder Pavilion's attention is now focused solely on Xiao Yan, and they haven't noticed Xiao Fan, who didn't make a move at the time. The people who traveled with Xiao Yan are only briefly mentioned in the kill order.

"It seems that everything Liu Ke said is true."

Xiao Yan glanced at his own portrait on the kill order, nodded slightly, exchanged a glance with Xiao Fan who was carrying Zi Yan on his back, and then disappeared into the crowd again...

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

Within the dim little world, a heavy stench of blood permeated the air. As the wind blew, the stench spread further and further away. In the dense forest, Mo Shang lowered his head and panted heavily, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Swish!

Suddenly, Mo Shang turned around and swung the dagger in his hand, but the next moment, terrifying energy spread and a pressure suddenly surged down, instantly immobilizing Mo Shang's body in place.

"it's me."

An aged voice rang out, and then a figure appeared in front of Mo Shang.

"Greetings, Heavenly Venerable..."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Mo Shang's pupils constricted slightly, and he lowered his head, bowing respectfully to the person.

"good."

The old man, known as the Celestial Venerable, nodded in satisfaction at Mo Shang's performance. He reached out and patted Mo Shang's shoulder, and then a surge of powerful battle qi flowed into Mo Shang's body, raging through him and completely healing his injuries.

"You are quite good. Your talent in both alchemy and cultivation is extremely terrifying. And you persevered to the end on your own. Now, you will have the opportunity to witness the powerful foundation of the Soul Palace!"

As he uttered his last words, the "Celestial Venerable" waved his hand, and Mo Shang felt the surrounding space distort. Several figures, dressed similarly to him in tattered clothes, clearly having just finished a battle, appeared together in an ancient, grand hall...

P.S. This month has been so busy!!! I'll definitely update again when I have some free time.

The original reader group was full (I didn't expect it to be so full), so the author couldn't upgrade the group chat and created a new one: 935543114.

Chapter 120 Changes in All Sides

"Heh heh heh, so these are the elites of this generation from the Soul Hall? You all look... rather disheveled..."

Just as Mo Shang and the others were sizing each other up, a sinister voice rang out. Mo Shang and the others looked up and saw an old figure appearing strangely in front of the main hall, with a pair of sinister eyes constantly scanning Mo Shang and the others.

Feeling scrutinized by the other person's gaze, Mo Shang's heart tightened, and she carefully adopted a defensive posture.

"Oh? That's quite interesting..."

As if noticing Mo Shang's subtle actions, the aged figure looked at Mo Shang and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the "Celestial Venerable" in front of Mo Shang.

"Alright, old ghost, don't scare these little guys..."

As soon as he finished speaking, "Celestial Venerable" appeared beside the old man in a flash. His gaze swept over Mo Shang and the others, and then he said, "Congratulations on passing the Soul Hall's most difficult selection and standing here, becoming one of the most talented disciples among the many branches of the Soul Hall..."

"Of course, you... are also very unfortunate."

The "Celestial Venerable" changed the subject, looking at everyone and saying, "From now on, you will undergo your final trial, which can also be considered an opportunity. If you succeed, your future achievements and chances of becoming a Dou Zun will greatly increase..."

Listening to the trials described by the "Celestial Venerable," the eyes of the many surviving geniuses of the Soul Hall burned with fervor. What they sought in joining the Soul Hall was nothing more than strength.

Silently, the geniuses from the various branches of the Soul Palace exchanged glances, a flame rising in their eyes, all for the sake of their future, choosing to take a gamble!

As for the future that the "Celestial Venerable" spoke of, Mo Xin remained completely unmoved. Everything he did was simply to climb to a higher position within the Soul Palace...

Seeing the fervent gazes of the crowd, the "Celestial Venerable" had a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He then waved his hand, and everyone felt a terrifying energy fluctuation. Turning their heads, they saw an incredibly terrifying two-winged demonic beast lying prostrate on the ground outside the hall. The pressure emanating from its entire body was enough to instill fear in everyone.

"A Heavenly Dragon Beast at the Dou Zun realm..."

Looking at the magical beast outside the main hall, everyone's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but then they saw a sophisticated array constantly operating on the back of the Heavenly Dragon Beast.

"Let's go. Once you survive this ordeal, you will be part of our race..."

"Celestial Venerable" spoke softly, and the excited crowd followed behind him, heading towards the back of the Heavenly Dragon Beast. Only Mo Shang, upon hearing "our race" from the "Celestial Venerable," had a glint of light in his eyes, but before he could ponder it further, he was carried onto the back of the Heavenly Dragon Beast...

As the array on the back of the Heavenly Dragon Beast activated, Mo Shang and his group felt everything around them lose its sensation, plunging them into complete darkness...

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

Home, within the territory of the Serpent People, in the Empire.

"How is Her Majesty the Queen?!"

"It should be fine, but Her Majesty the Queen took a seventh-grade pill, and its medicinal power is extremely concentrated. It will probably take a considerable amount of time to refine its medicinal power..."

"Hahaha, excellent! A seventh-grade pill is wonderful!" The third elder of the Snake-Man Clan clapped his hands and laughed, a hint of excitement flashing across his face. "With the nurturing of a seventh-grade pill, Her Majesty the Queen's offspring this time will surely surpass that of all the Snake-Man Clan Queens in history!"

"Of course! I said from the beginning that Xiao Fan was a good kid, and Her Majesty the Queen was with him..."

"Shut up, everyone!"

Just as the Second Elder and the Third Elder were arguing, the First Elder suddenly spoke up, interrupting their argument. Seeing that he had drawn their attention back, the First Elder said, "During this period, strengthen patrols within the clan. Let Flower Snake and Moon Charm be in charge of the clan's areas, and let Flame Thorn and Mobas take turns patrolling to ensure the safety of the territory. No suspicious person should be allowed to enter the clan."

"it is good."

Upon hearing the First Elder's arrangement, the Second and Third Elders exchanged a glance and stopped joking.

After all, the period during which the Queen absorbs the medicinal power of the elixir is the most crucial, and no mistakes can be made.

Immediately, the Second and Third Elders departed hastily, and the entire Snake-People tribe sprang into action. Tribal leaders who had already advanced to the Dou Huang realm spontaneously formed a protective circle around the Queen...

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

"Hmph! A mere member of the Heavenly Demon Clan dares to hunt down Brother Xiao Yan!?"

Within the ancient clan, Xun'er, who had just returned from the Spirit Realm, had not yet had time to report to her father everything that had happened in the Spirit Realm when she heard the joint kill order issued by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Annoyance flashed across her pretty face, and golden flames flickered in Xun'er's eyes. A cold expression appeared on Xun'er's face, and she rushed towards the ancient clan's main hall.

"Father............"

Looking at Gu Yuan, who was sitting in the main hall and constantly handling the affairs of the ancient clan, Xun'er's anger gradually subsided, and she became extremely calm.

"came back?"

Upon hearing Xun'er's words, Gu Yuan gently raised his head, a smile appearing on his face, like a tender father. He walked to Xun'er's side and asked, "How are you feeling after your trip to the Spirit Realm?"

"Where is it...?"

Xun'er recalled what had happened in the Spirit Realm and became increasingly curious about Yueyao's situation. After the ceremony ended, she had wanted to meet with Yueyao, but the Spirit Clan refused on the grounds that the "Holy Maiden was in seclusion."

After waiting for several days in the Spirit Realm without receiving any news from Yueyao, Xun'er rushed back to the Ancient Clan.

"I want to see the records about the Eldar."

"I'll have someone deliver it to you shortly, but... the Spirit Clan is rather special. Their strength isn't among the strongest of the eight ancient clans, but one of their two emperors was revered as the Moon Goddess. Within the Spirit Clan, many hold the Moon Goddess in higher esteem. However, aside from the Spirit Clan, even we only have a few brief descriptions of the Moon Goddess..."

Upon hearing this, Xun'er nodded gently, then looked at Gu Yuan, biting her lip lightly, and slowly said, "Also, about the Heavenly Phoenix Clan..."

"Xun'er!"

Before Xun'er could finish speaking, Gu Yuan interrupted her. Looking at the expression on Xun'er's face, Gu Yuan's expression relaxed a little. He looked into the distance and said, "You know, the elders in the clan are not very friendly to the Xiao family."

Gu Yuan looked at Xun'er's furrowed brows and said, "I don't object to what's between you two. However, that kid won't easily gain my approval. Only when he makes his way into the Ancient Holy City on his own merits will I be able to look at him with new respect."

"Before that, one must go through some hardships to grow."

Seeing the lingering worry on Xun'er's face, Gu Yuan spoke again: "Don't worry, I already told the Heavenly Demon Clan that the execution team they sent would not exceed the Dou Zun realm."

"If he can't even handle a few Dou Zong, how can he gain the approval of those old guys in the clan?"

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Xun'er only belatedly realized what was happening. A blush crept onto her face as she murmured, "This...so you don't...don't object to Brother Xiao Yan and..."

"Humph!"

Gu Yuan snorted coldly, looking at Xun'er's flushed face, a hint of anger in his eyes, and a touch of jealousy in his tone.

"Let him prove it to me when he can personally visit the Ancient Holy City!"

After saying that, Gu Yuan left, wanting to avoid further annoyance. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he'd even want to personally teach that brat a lesson...

Xun'er watched Gu Yuan leave, and it took her a long time to regain her composure, though a faint sense of anticipation still lingered in her heart.

"Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er believes in you... Soon, after Xun'er breaks through again, I will be able to come out and see you..."

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

"There is a spatial wormhole in the city ahead. After passing through here, we will be able to reach the Pill Domain."

On the back of a group of flying magical beasts, Xiao Fan and his two companions sat cross-legged on one of the beasts, looking at the massive city that appeared in the distance. Xiao Yan, disguised, slowly spoke.

They chose flying magical beasts to avoid the attention of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, since they certainly wouldn't expect that Xiao Fan and his group would choose to ride flying magical beasts with ordinary people.
