Do you know how much damage a big slap can do to a Peak Dou Huang?
The Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire naturally restrains all kinds of Demonic Beasts, not to mention that Bai Ya is a cold-attribute snake.
Furthermore, at that time, it was still caught in Ali's Soul Power impact and hadn't recovered.
In other words, Bai Ya took a solid fire critical hit while completely off-guard.
With all these buffs stacked up, Bai Ya's head was buzzing after just one punch, and it couldn't recover for quite a while.
Xiao Xue knocked back Bai Ya with a single punch, then flashed a few times to intercept Lü Man, blocking her path.
Lü Man is only a five-star Dou Huang; her speed is still lacking in front of the current Ali.
Xiao Xue looked at Lü Man and sneered, "You dare to snatch someone that my Hall of Souls has taken a fancy to; how impressive."
Her calm voice, however, caused Lü Man's expression to change drastically.
"The Hall of Souls?! You are from the Hall of Souls?!"
The waters of the Hall of Souls are truly too... wait, no, too deep.
Although Soul Emissaries make up the majority, any Protector who comes out could easily turn her and Bai Ya into specimens.
On the other side, Bai Ya finally managed to recover and flew to Lü Man's side. The person and the snake stood guard, confronting Xiao Xue vigilantly.
"Leave the person behind, and you can scram." As Xiao Xue said this, she took out a [Soul] token and wore it at her waist.
"You also know that keeping both of you here is not difficult for me."
Bai Ya and Lü Man exchanged a glance, seeing hesitation and wariness in each other's eyes.
Although the Hall of Souls is spread throughout the entire Fighting Qi Continent, they act insidiously and ruthlessly, always operating in the shadows.
Therefore, not many people know about the Hall of Souls.
However, Bai Ya and Lü Man came from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, one of the top-tier powers in the Northwest Continent, so they naturally had heard of the Hall of Souls.
As for Xiao Xue's words, they actually already believed half of them.
After all, for the sake of caution, Xiao Xue only borrowed Ali's power and did not release Ali's aura.
Therefore, judging from the speed Xiao Xue—or rather, Ali—had just shown, she was merely a Peak Dou Huang.
Yet the Soul Power she had just unleashed was comparable to a Peak Tier 7, or even a Tier 8 Demonic Beast!
Possessing such exaggerated Soul Power, which exceeded her own cultivation Realm by a full major stage, is something even the Pill Tower might not be able to Cultivate.
Perhaps only the Hall of Souls, which specializes in the Soul, could nurture such an expert.
Furthermore, it is normal for the Hall of Souls to fancy the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. This is one of the top-tier, powerful Physiques, and becoming a Dou Zun is just a matter of time.
The Hall of Souls is an existence their Heavenly Serpent Mansion absolutely cannot afford to provoke. If they were to anger the other party and a high-level Dou Zun were summoned, the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion would be finished.
Therefore, they must either hand Qing Lin over to the other party, or they must finish the battle quickly, kill the other party right here, and then flee far away.
However, the other party seriously injured Bai Ya with a single punch. Given this strength, do they even have a choice?
If they insist on taking the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, the two of them might just end up as specimens today.
"Have you decided?" Xiao Xue's somewhat impatient voice rang out, with the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire surging in her hand.
"If you don't want to leave, then leave your lives behind."
In fact, looking solely at the original work, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion might not be a bad place for Qing Lin.
However, even having read the original work, Xiao Xue did not have much understanding of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion faction.
In the original work, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion appeared only twice.
Once when they came out of Stone Desert City to take Qing Lin, and once when Xiao Yan mentioned them upon reuniting with Qing Lin; that was it.
Xiao Xue did not think much of this faction that only appeared twice in the original work.
A top-tier power in the Northwest Continent probably doesn't even have a high-level Dou Zun; what could they possibly give Qing Lin?
Cultivation Techniques, Dou Techniques, Medicinal Pills, and the like—anything the Heavenly Serpent Mansion can give Qing Lin, Xiao Xue can also provide.
