Although he spoke lightly, only he, as the person involved, truly understood just how terrifying the eight ancient tribes were.
Even though the Spirit Race is the weakest of the eight ancient races, there are still countless powerful warriors among them.
It was something that Xiao Fan in his current state simply couldn't resist.
However, Xiao Fan is not worried now. His priority is to help Yue Yao pass the Moon Goddess Trial.
Throughout history, the Spirit Race has produced countless geniuses, but very few have actually passed the Moon Goddess Trial. Even with the help of the Moon Goddess Envoy, the success rate remains hopeless.
It is clear that the difficulty of the Moon Goddess Trial has exceeded Xiao Fan's expectations.
Moreover, judging from the information revealed by Xun'er, the Moon Goddess Trial not only involves facing the initial Dou Di inheritance, but now also the consciousness of so many previous Spirit Clan Saintesses.
In Xiao Fan's memory, Yue Yao was just someone whose strength was no more than that of a Grand Master.
Xiao Fan found it hard to imagine what the other party would look like now that he had advanced to the Dou Zun level.
"No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely rescue you."
Xiao Fan took a deep breath. Even in the worst-case scenario, he still had the system.
I just don't know exactly how far the system can go.
"System, is there a way to pass the Moon Goddess Trial?"
[As long as the source currency is provided, this system can provide everything.]
How many Source Coins are needed to safely pass the Moon Goddess Trial?
Upon hearing the system's reply, Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment, pondered in his mind, and then began to ask questions.
[1000000 Source Coins.]
When Xiao Fan saw the price given by the system, his face suddenly darkened. Although he suspected that the system was taking advantage of his misfortune, he had no way to do anything about it and had no evidence to prove it.
But at least this gave him a direction.
As long as the price of what I offer is right, I can help Yue Yao overcome even the Moon Goddess Trial of the Spirit Clan.
With this in mind, Xiao Fan finally felt relieved. His top priority now was to improve his strength.
[Ding! Side quest triggered based on current host status.]
[Task 1: Exterminate a branch of the Soul Hall. Reward: 100 Battle Qi Points and 3000 Source Coins for each branch destroyed.]
[Task Two: Kill a Soul Hall Dou Zun expert. Reward: 50 Dou Qi points and 1000 Origin Coins for each Soul Hall Dou Zun expert killed.]
[Task 3: Slay a Dou Zun level expert from the Heavenly Demon Royal Clan. Reward: 50 Dou Qi points and 1000 Origin Coins for each Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Dou Zun level expert killed.]
[Mission Hint: Completing the above tasks may trigger a pursuit by a Saint-level expert. Please choose carefully.]
A series of mechanical voices rang in Xiao Fan's mind, causing him to freeze in place.
Xiao Fan hadn't expected that his simple desire to increase his strength would suddenly trigger so many messages from the system, which hadn't activated any missions in a long time.
After carefully reviewing the task given by the system, Xiao Fan suddenly revealed a strange smile.
"Soul Palace, Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan..."
"The offensive and defensive momentum is different!"
Xiao Fan revealed a strange smile. He suddenly changed his direction and headed towards the retreating location of the Soul Palace experts.
And the reason he knew all this so clearly...
That must have been tipped off by Mo Shang, the Lord of the Senluo Hall of the Soul Palace!
At this moment, Mo Shang, who was in the Soul Palace's procession, also learned about the system's mission. Beneath Mo Shang's mask, a sinister smile appeared as he looked at the Soul Palace's Dou Zun who was advancing alongside him.
At this moment, these former colleagues were no longer vibrant lives in Mo Shang's eyes, but rather walking whetstones.
A more accurate description would be that they are individual moving battle qi points.
Just then, a terrifying aura enveloped Mo Shang and his group from behind, and it was none other than Blood River Venerable, one of the Four Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace.
"See my lord!"
When Mo Shang and the others saw the appearance of the Four Heavenly Venerables, their faces showed a look of admiration, and they bowed to Xue He.
"Humph!"
Blood River Venerable took the initiative to attack Xiao Fan, but was stopped by the ancient clan experts. At this moment, he was filled with rage.
Seeing the group from the Soul Palace, he let out a cold snort and looked at the Eight Heavenly Venerables at the front, saying, "With the protection of the ancient clans, those two brats escaped. I'll return to the palace to report first; you can come back yourselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, Venerable Blood River flew straight towards the distant horizon, and with one step, his figure disappeared from the spot.
The Soul Palace group naturally noticed Blood River Venerable's current mood and dared not voice any objections.
Chapter 270 Reversal of the Chase (Eighth Update)
Among the powerful figures of the Soul Palace, Mo Shang watched the departing Blood River Venerable with great joy.
He was worried that the Blood River Venerable, a fourth-level Dou Zun, staying here would have an impact on him, but now that the other party has rushed back to the Soul Palace, Xiao Fan has nothing to fear in this group.
Even the Eight Heavenly Venerables, who were at the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Zun realm, were only somewhat feared by Xiao Fan. If he were determined to escape, the Eight Heavenly Venerables would not be able to stop him at all.
Now that he saw Venerable Blood River depart, Mo Shang felt much more at ease.
At the rear of the Soul Hall's ranks, Xiao Fan did not immediately go to surround and kill the Soul Hall's experts. Instead, he found a secluded place and sat down cross-legged.
I plan to focus on recovering from my injuries first.
In the lush mountains, Xiao Fan slipped into a hidden cave and turned the local inhabitants into roasted bear paws. With a gentle wave of his hand, a strong wind swept through the cave, and all the stench disappeared.
Xiao Fan sat down cross-legged and took out a healing pill from his storage ring and swallowed it.
Vast battle qi surged within his body, continuously repairing his injuries.
In the surrounding void, strands of starlight surged toward Xiao Fan, then entered his body, repairing his injuries.
This is precisely the characteristic of the Three Thousand Burning Flames absorbing the power of stars in the space.
Using the power of the stars and the pills he had swallowed, Xiao Fan continuously repaired his internal injuries, and his complexion improved considerably.
Xiao Fan's physique was already extremely formidable, and now, with the added power of the stars, it didn't take long for his injuries to recover by 70%.
Although he had not yet fully recovered, Xiao Fan felt that there were no major problems.
As for his depleted soul power, although it had been replenished somewhat in such a short time, Xiao Fan still felt a bit dizzy.
He took out a bottle of spiritual medicine from his storage ring. As soon as he opened it, a refreshing and subtle fragrance filled the entire cave.
Immediately, a surge of icy blue energy emanated from the jade bottle, within which seemed to be wondrous illusions, creating an extremely dreamlike scene.
If someone with a low level of strength were to examine this thing, they might even experience hallucinations.
Seeing this, Xiao Fan quickly stepped forward and inhaled the icy blue energy from the jade bottle under his nose.
This is a spiritual liquid specifically designed to repair soul injuries. It was something Mo Shang obtained from the old ghost's storage ring after killing him.
For alchemists who frequently exhaust their soul power, this is an invaluable treasure; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a sacred medicine.
Even the old ghost who picks stars doesn't have many of these things in his storage ring.
But now, all of this has benefited Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan greedily inhaled the energy from the bottle, instantly feeling much more awake, and a cool, stimulating sensation spread through his mind.
The headache that had been aching due to the depletion of soul power was relieved.
Without hesitation, Xiao Fan poured the condensed liquid from the jade bottle into his mouth and swallowed it, slowly refining its power.
As Xiao Fan gradually absorbed the energy from the jade bottle, his condition improved at a visible rate.
After half an hour of recuperation, Xiao Fan's previously depleted soul power was completely replenished, and he no longer felt any discomfort.
"Now, it's time for you to feel fear..."
Feeling himself back to peak condition, Xiao Fan smiled, took a step forward, and a spatial rift appeared before him. He instantly disappeared into the cave.
Relying on his connection with Mo Shang, Xiao Fan took the shortest route and headed towards the location of Mo Shang and the others.
Apart from the leader, Eight Heavenly Venerables, and Blood River Venerable, the rest of the Dou Zun powerhouses in Mo Shang's team were mostly powerhouses transferred from various branches of the Soul Hall. Only a very few were brought out of the Soul Hall by Eight Heavenly Venerables.
As they gradually approached the Soul Palace, the Dou Zun powerhouses who had been transferred there, under the arrangement of the Eight Heavenly Venerables, also rushed back to their respective branches.
Before parting, Mo Shang, as a rising star of the Soul Hall, naturally wanted to befriend these Soul Hall Dou Zun experts, so he took the initiative to give them a simple hug.
Although many Dou Zun felt somewhat awkward, Mo Shang was now a rising powerhouse in the Soul Palace, with outstanding talent and the Palace Master's favor, holding an extraordinary position within the palace. They couldn't very well offend him.
Moreover, being able to get acquainted with a young prodigy like Mo Shang, a genius with a promising future, is also a good thing for them.
So seeing Mo Shang take such initiative, they smiled and hugged him, feeling a sense of mutual respect as they parted.
However, they never expected that this embrace would be like a death list, where whoever was embraced would die.
As Mo Shang watched the Dou Zun experts break away from the group and head towards their respective branches, the corners of his mouth, hidden behind his mask, turned up uncontrollably.
I just feel that the Eighth Heavenly Venerable is so considerate of me, which makes me really lovable.
Therefore, Mo Shang felt even more at ease looking at the Eight Heavenly Venerables who were leading the group.
The Eight Heavenly Venerables naturally noticed Mo Shang's gaze and sensed the goodwill in his eyes.
The Eight Heavenly Venerables merely nodded slightly to Mo Shang, appearing quite calm, but inwardly they also felt a sense of pleasure.
"Indeed, this trip wasn't entirely fruitless, although we only completed half of the task assigned by the Palace Master..."
