"Oh? This Hall of Souls isn't simple either, it seems."
With a sigh of emotion, Tian Huo Zun Zhe turned to dusa and said, "You step back for now. I need to deal with him quickly."
Hearing that, she gave a slight nod and flickered back to the side of the Snake-People Clan.
Tian Huo Zun Zhe then turned to Lin Feng and quickly said, "Let borrow your fla for a bit."
"Alright."
Lin Feng didn't waste words and imdiately lent his Heavenly Fla to him temporarily.
In the distance, Protector Kong saw that one of his opponents—a Dou Zong—had actually retreated. A cruel smile curled up at the corner of his lips.
Although he didn't know why that Dou Zong backed off, the remaining soul before him only had the strength of a One- or Two-Star Dou Zong.
But he himself was at the Four-Star Dou Zong level—and had even cultivated Dou Techniques specifically ant to restrain souls.
In a one-on-one fight, capturing this soul should be a piece of cake.
Thinking of the reward he'd get for offering up these three powerful souls to the Hall, greed flashed across Protector Kong's face.
The surrounding black mist surged and rolled, with the constant clattering sound of tallic chains ringing from within.
Suddenly, two chains shot out, turning into dark shadows that streaked violently through the sky toward Tian Huo Zun Zhe.
As the black chains abruptly lashed out, Yao Tianhuo rely let out a cold chuckle.
Around his body, the surrounding space suddenly surged with a massive outpouring of Falling Heart Fla.
Then, with a flick of his fingers, the fla let out a low whistle like a train, transforming into several enormous fiery pythons that coiled and shot forward.
"Ssss!"
As the invisible fire pythons collided with the black chains, the latter imdiately began to lt away rapidly—just like snow eting flas—amid a constant sizzling hiss.
"Damn it, what kind of Heavenly Fla is this?"
Watching his attack dissolve quickly under the refining force of the formless fla, Protector Kong cursed under his breath.
But a flicker of solemnity passed through his dark red eyes.
He didn't know exactly what fla this was, but from what he had just witnessed, it clearly had an extrely strong suppressive effect on soul bodies.
"You little black wretch... My soul power is too precious to waste on you. Just be a good boy and beco nourishnt for !"
With a cold smirk tugging at his lips, Tian Huo Zun Zhe clenched his palm, and a vast torrent of soul power surged outward.
Under his control, the formless Falling Heart Fla exploded forth like a tide, blanketing the skies and transforming into a massive fire net woven from the fiery serpents.
"Wait, wait! I'll retreat right now! I don't want your soul anymore, okay?"
Staring up at the sudden appearance of the massive, invisible fla net above his head, Protector Kong imdiately caved.
He still didn't know what this Heavenly Fla was called, but as a soul body, he could instinctively feel the overwhelming sense of danger it radiated.
He instantly turned into a cloud of black mist and tried to flee.
"Bind!"
Ignoring the man's plea as though he hadn't heard it, Tian Huo Zun Zhe imdiately manipulated the fire net to wrap around him.
In the blink of an eye, the fiery net caught up to the black mist and enveloped it entirely.
"AHHH! Bastard! If you kill , Hall of Souls won't let you off!"
The mont he touched the Falling Heart Fla, Protector Kong's agonized screams echoed wildly across the sky.
"Hmph, if I were afraid, I wouldn't have co to capture you in the first place."
Watching Protector Kong struggle desperately, Tian Huo Zun Zhe began pulling him in.
"You bastard! I'm a mber of Hall of Souls! Hall of Souls won't let you get away with this—nooo—!"
Amidst his incessant cursing, Protector Kong's body was forcefully dragged closer and closer to Lin Feng's side.
With a final soft "chi" sound, the black mist that Protector Kong had turned into was sucked into the white ring on Lin Feng's finger.
"Young man, I've helped you eliminate this Hall of Souls Protector. As for what cos next, it's all up to you."
After saying that, Tian Huo Zun Zhe—whose strength had now dropped to the level of a high-rank Dou Huang—quickly retreated back into the white storage ring.
"Now that their high-end combat power is wiped out, the rest are nothing to fear."
Sensing the soul force retreating rapidly, Lin Feng quickly regained control of his body and smiled.
At the sa ti, he extended his right hand and took the lone ring left behind by Protector Kong, storing it away in his robe.
Right after, he retrieved a few pills from his own ring and swallowed them.
After all, in the battle to kill Yan Luotian earlier, he had burned a massive amount of energy—especially in forming that fire lotus and resisting the aftershock of the explosion.
Tian Huo Zun Zhe, who had just captured the Hall of Souls Protector, was now extrely weakened as well.
If they didn't recover imdiately and soone launched a sneak attack, things could really take a turn for the worse.
On the other side, when the coalition armies of the two empires saw that all their high-end fighters had been killed, the soldiers on the ground imdiately retreated like a receding tide.
From atop the city wall, the Snake-People Clan erupted in a thunderous, earth-shaking cheer.
"You rest for now. I'll lead the others to pursue the remaining enemy experts."
Seeing the situation below, dusa quickly said this to Lin Feng.
She then led the Snake-People and Zi Yan to fly after the fleeing powerhouses of the two empires.
There were simply too many regular soldiers—they couldn't be bothered to chase them all down.
But the royal families and sect leaders of the two empires? Those high-level experts definitely couldn't be let off so easily.
Lin Feng simply nodded, then turned and flew to the rear.
The earlier battle had consud him greatly, and he really needed so ti to recover now.
The Next Day
Although the battle of the Tagore Desert had already ended…
The Snake-People Clan had suffered devastating losses. Countless affairs surged all at once, and everything was in chaos.
Over 80% of the Snake-People's cities and towns had been destroyed in the war. Reconstruction was urgently needed.
As for casualties—it was even more tragic. The number of Snake-People corpses scattered throughout the desert by the two empires' armies was impossible to count.
Even the camp they had stayed at earlier still had so surviving Snake-People won.
Whether it was the dead or the living, their identities had to be confird one by one, so they could be reunited with their families.
Due to the overwhelming complexity of the situation, even dusa had gone personally to the frontlines to oversee and guide the recovery efforts.
As for Lin Feng—after recovering—he saw the situation and couldn't bring himself to ask dusa to leave everything behind to go help the Yun Lan Sect.
So he and Zi Yan could only patiently wait until dusa finished handling the clan's internal affairs.
After all, neither he nor Zi Yan were mbers of the Snake-People. Rather than barking orders pointlessly, it was better to quietly enjoy the scenery.
However, Zi Yan had already grown bored of waiting and had gone out to look for the dicinal ingredients she needed for her next advancent.
As for Lin Feng, his thoughts turned to the three storage rings dusa had given him the day before…
And the two rings he'd collected himself during the battle that still hadn't been checked.
So, he decided to go open a few "loot boxes" to see if he might find sothing useful.
After flying over the Tagore Desert for a while, Lin Feng found a tall sand dune.
He casually summoned a cluster of Glazed Lotus Heart Fla, then flicked it toward the dune.
Under the scorching heat, it didn't take long before a large sandy cave ford.
Retracting his wings, he lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and leapt straight into it.
