Chapter 430: Encement! The Poise of a Dou Saint!

  Jia Ma Empire.

  Gu He's avatar, apanied by Qing Protector, had already arrived at Yu.

  Upon reag Yu, Gu He’s avatar observed that the sect seemed calm, with no signs of turmoil. Without dey, he employed the Void Thunder Fsh, transf into a silver bolt of lightning and traversing through the void to ehe Nine-Colored Valley.

  Though Nan Yanran and her panions had never met Gu He’s avatar before, his aura and the ability to effortlessly ehe sealed Nine-Colored Valley quickly vihem of his identity.

  “Master, so this is one of your avatars? That’s truly remarkable…”

  Nan Yanran curiously ied Gu He’s avatar from head to toe but quickly restrained herself when Gu He shot her a disapproving gnce.

  “Yanran, where is the Soul Hall Protector you captured earlier?” Gu He asked directly.

  “Right here!”

  Without hesitation, Nan Yanrarieved the Soul Hall Protector, who had been sealed by the Scarlet Jiao, and handed him over.

  “Bang!”

  With a single grip, Gu He crushed the jade bottle, revealing the faintly visible bck mist inside.

  The Soul Hall Protector, now exposed to the outside world, initially thought Nan Yanran and her group had decided to release him after realizing the might of the Soul Hall. He felt a fleeting joy as the bottle and the seal shattered. However, that joy quickly froze when he sehe overwhelming and terrifying aura emanating from Gu He’s avatar.

  “This aura… it’s strohan the Elders of the Soul Hall. It must belong to a Heavenly Sn!” the Soul Hall Protector thought, horrified.

  Gu He’s avatar wasted no time on pleasantries. As soon as the seal was removed, he g the bck mist and immediately unleashed the a puppet-seeding spell. A strand of soul power surged into the bck mist.

  “Aahhh—!”

  A sharp, agonized scream echoed from the Soul Hall Protector, but it tly cut off after a sed.

  Moments ter, the Soul Hall Protector, like Qing Protector before him, became a puppet loyal to Gu He.

  Both these individuals reported to the same Heavenly Sn within the Soul Hall. This Sn, in turn, had received direct orders from the mysterious Deputy Hall Master of the Soul Hall to execute a mission in the Northwestern ti.

  Based on Gu He’s calcutions, if no one disrupted the Soul ’s pns, they would likely initiate their grand schemes within the decade.

  Currently, the Soul Hall was waiting for Void Swallowing Fme to reach a level of power capable of momentarily tending with Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Gu . At that point, Hun Tiandi would have the fideo openly defy the agreement among the Eight A s and seize the A Jade pieces.

  For now, the Soul Hall refrained from overt dispys of power. In the Jia Ma Empire, the Xiao ’s possession of an A Jade shard deterred the Soul Hall from ag brazenly due to the Gu ’s watchful eyes.

  “This subordinate greets the master!”

  The Soul Hall Protector, now impnted with a puppet seed, k befu He’s avatar in reverence.

  Gu He po have both Qing Protector and the Soul Hall Protector remain hidden within the Jia Ma Empire. Wheime was right, they would reect with their superior. At that point, Gu He would deal with the Soul Hall Heavenly Sn who had dispatched them.

  “Master, why is this Soul Hall Protector addressing you as ‘master’?”

  Nan Yanran and Qing Lin, who had just approached, were both startled by the sudden ge.

  “It’s a teique of miheir minds are now under my trol and pose no threat,” Gu He expined casually, no further details.

  “Su incredible teique! Master subdued him in just moments!” Nan Yanran marveled.

  “But Master didn’t seem to do anything. How did he gain trol over his mind?” Qing Lin asked, her wide eyes filled with curiosity.

  “Yi-ya, yi-ya! Master used a soul teique, which is why you didn’t notice,” Cai’er expined, hopping on Qing Lin’s palm.

  Among the group, only Cai’er had sehe fluctuation in Gu He’s soul power when he employed the a puppet-seeding spell. As a result, she wasn’t as surprised as Nan Yanran and Qing Lin.

  "Master, is the Soul Hall’s power truly so formidable, ranking among the peak forces in Zhongzhou?"

  Recalling the Soul Hall Protector’s earlier threats, Nan Yanran posed her question to Gu He.

  “Indeed,” Gu He nodded lightly. Through the Soul Hall Protector’s memories, he had firmed much of what the Protector had told Nan Yanran. “The Soul Hall’s strength is exactly as described—it stands at the pinnacle of the ti. They have many Dou Saint-level powerhouses. Even for me, they are not oppos I would front recklessly.”

  “So it really is true!”

  Hearing Gu He’s affirmation, Nan Yanran’s thoughts grew plex. At that moment, she couldn’t help but feel how insignifit her strength was in parison.

  “Master, with the Soul Hall’s strength being so overwhelming, could it be that their prese our Yu means they have designs on us?” Now fully aware of the Soul Hall’s terrifying capabilities, Nan Yanran’s torayed her .

  Seeing her worried expression, Gu He reassured her. “Don’t worry, Yanran. The Soul Hall’s appearan the Jia Ma Empire has nothing to do with targeting Yu. They have oals. Besides, by the time you and the others have matured, even the Soul Hall won’t dare provoke you.”

  Gu He firmly believed that, while the path to being a Dou Saint in the Dou Qi ti had been severed for most, his uudent empowerment system would allow him to cultivate his disciples into high-level Dou Saints before the Soul could fully enact their pns. By then, even the Soul would be uo touch him.

  Hearing her master’s words, Nan Yanran’s eyes initially brightened with hope but soon dimmed again as she hesitated. “Master, we really do it? After all, those are legendary Dou Saints we’re talking about!”

  Notig her doubt, Gu He offered words of encement. “Yanran, being a Dou Saint is indeed a near-impossible task for ordinary people. Even with immense effort, they might not achieve it. However, you and the others possess extraordinary talent. What seems unattainable for most is entirely within your reach. Have fiden yourself!”

  “Our talent… is really that exceptional?”

  Refleg on Gu He’s words, Nan Yanran still harbored doubts about her own abilities.

  “Of course! My disciples, ead every one of you, are destio be the cream of the crop!” Gu He’s expression was calm and resolute, his tone brimming with fidence.
