929. Soul Palace Rescue
The moment he fully awoke, the Demon Flower Evil Lord was once again under Xiao Yan's deliberate control. Xiao Yan used absolute soul control to make the Demon Flower Evil Lord lose all his previous memories. Apart from feeling some discomfort in his body, he did not feel anything unusual.
He felt a vague sense of unease about why he had suddenly appeared here, but with a Dou Sheng expert from the Soul Palace already standing before him, the Demon Flower Evil Lord didn't dwell on it further. With such a powerful figure present, what trouble could the Flower Sect or Xiao Yan possibly cause?
Ultimately, under Xiao Yan's control, he transmitted the pre-arranged information according to the original plan of the Soul Palace.
"The Flower Sect's infiltration mission is complete. We await the Palace Master's arrival to take control of the Flower Sect!"
Having confirmed that the message had been sent, Xiao Yan repeated the process, once again using his soul power to plunge the Demon Flower Evil Lord into a complete coma. The reason he didn't kill him outright was mainly because the Soul Palace's methods were extremely strange, and Xiao Yan didn't want any unnecessary accidents to occur or reveal any clues.
After dealing with the Demon Flower Evil Lord, Fairy Hua glanced at Hua Jin, who was still kneeling on the ground, and coldly snorted, "Keep this guy in his acting sect leader position for now, and deal with him after this matter is over!"
"Until those people from the Soul Hall arrive, we must pretend we know nothing about it, and wait for the grand show of luring them into a trap to begin!"
Upon hearing this, faint smiles appeared on the faces of Xiao Yan, Fairy Hua, and Yao Qingyu.
As Xiao Yan sensed his own soul power, another plan formed in his mind. If he could wait for the enemy to tire themselves out, his combat power could be even stronger than usual!
……
Soul Yan, the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall and a two-star Dou Sheng powerhouse, has been having a rather difficult time lately.
Because of a previous operational error he was in charge of, his faction's influence within the clan plummeted, and he was punished by being sent to the vanguard in the battle against the Yan Clan's attack, suffering considerable losses.
He himself was clearly a Dou Sheng level expert from the Soul Clan, a genius who was originally expected to succeed the Soul Hall Master. However, the Soul Hall Master's attitude towards him has changed considerably. Although it has not been made public yet, it has already subtly indicated that he is unlikely to take another step forward.
Hun Yan was indignant, but there was nothing she could do, because this was the internal dynamic of the Soul Clan. Everyone had to perfectly fulfill their responsibilities, unless they were exceptionally talented, like Hun Feng, who would receive extra patience from the clan. Everyone else was severely punished for any mistake!
The familiarity with the clan rules caused Hun Yan immense pain. Despite his young age, he already possessed the strength of a two-star Dou Sheng, and could be considered a rising star. He had a clear understanding of himself; he had little chance of attaining higher positions within the clan, but a position within the Soul Palace was entirely possible! However, due to the failure of a single operation, he was almost completely wiped out.
Fortunately, perseverance paid off, and the determined Hun Yan accurately detected the movements within the clan. While others were still awaiting orders from the clan, he had already discerned that the Hun Clan, having launched a surprise attack on the Yan Clan, would not continue to show weakness, but would instead gradually begin to reveal their true strength, which had been hidden for many years, in the Central Continent.
Meanwhile, others haven't reacted yet, or even if they have, they haven't made a move. Hunyan understands that this is her best opportunity!
If I can make a great contribution that will impress people before the clan launches a large-scale operation, my situation will be reversed immediately!
Therefore, he finally set his sights on the Flower Sect. This force had been entrenched in Zhongzhou for a long time, and because of its special nature, other forces usually did not target it intentionally or unintentionally.
After all, it would be somewhat embarrassing to attack a force that only has female disciples. In relatively peaceful times, everyone is quite mindful of saving face.
However, turmoil in Zhongzhou is now inevitable, and it would be foolish to worry about saving face when things really get chaotic.
Hunyan was also very clear: now was the best time to make a move against the Flower Sect!
As long as I take over the Flower Sect and control all the high-ranking members, I can achieve great things, whether as a puppet of the Soul Palace or as part of the Soul Clan's grand plan!
With this achievement, he could wash away his stains and have a good chance of returning to the competition for the position of Hall Master of the Soul Palace.
Therefore, Hunyan went to great lengths to infiltrate the Demon Flower Evil Lord from the Heavenly Nether Sect, a powerful force recruited by the Soul Clan's affiliated Spirit Clan, hoping to take over the Flower Sect as quickly as possible. Now that the Demon Flower Evil Lord has sent back good news, Hunyan has also brought his loyal followers, one one-star Dou Sheng and two half-saints, to the Flower Sect.
It wasn't that Hunyan didn't want to bring more help, but rather that he didn't want any information to leak out. Only by taking down the Flower Sect with swift and decisive action could he claim all the credit. Once the news leaked, the final outcome would be unpredictable.
So when they were about to arrive at the Flower Sect's territory, Hun Yan's direct descendant, Hun Guard, smiled and flattered him, saying, "Congratulations, Palace Master! After taking over the Flower Sect this time, you will surely be able to secure the position of Palace Master's successor."
As a direct descendant of Hunyan, Hunhu knew very well what his backer cared about most, so he flattered him in a way that suited his tastes.
Upon hearing this, Hunyan tried his best to remain calm in front of his subordinates, maintaining his image of not showing his emotions. However, the other two half-saints also "woke up" at this moment and immediately began to boast about Hunyan's succession as the palace master, which made Hunyan unable to suppress his smile any longer. He had been holding back for too long, and now that hope was within reach, he simply couldn't control himself.
"After this trip, the Palace Master's achievements will be enough to overshadow all the other Palace Masters!"
"More than that! Such achievements in expanding territory are likely to have caught the attention of the clan chief!"
"That would be perfect. With the Palace Master back in the clan, our status within the Soul Palace will surely rise accordingly."
Hearing these words, Hunyan couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. If she could really become a backbone of the clan, it would be a meteoric rise to power!
So he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as I make a contribution in this matter, I will never forget the three of you. When I become the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, you will be my three most important Vice Hall Masters!"
Upon hearing this, the three continued to boast, creating a lively atmosphere.
In this state, they officially arrived in front of the Flower Sect.
