Chapter 37: Coming to the Rescue (New book, please recommend!)
"Little girl, aren't you afraid of me?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile upon hearing her words.
"Why should I be afraid? Big brother gave me roasted meat, so you must be a good person." The girl looked at Xiao Yan with her large, watery eyes, and her light and clear voice was very soothing to hear.
Hearing the girl's answer, Xiao Yan didn't know what to say. She was truly an innocent girl, but she was quite cute.
However, it was hard to feel at ease seeing such a cute girl out alone. Under Xiao Yan's soul perception, the girl's strength was only at the level of the Heaven-Piercing Realm in the Three Days' Territory.
Although her talent was quite good, it was still extremely dangerous to venture out with such strength. After all, not everyone was as easy to deal with as he was.
"I'm full, but I still don't know what Big Brother's name is?" After finishing the skewer of roasted meat, the girl looked at Xiao Yan again.
"My name is Xiao Yan, and you?" Xiao Yan smiled lightly, not hiding anything.
"Then I'll call you Big Brother Xiao, Big Brother Xiao, my name is Luo Yuqing." The girl smiled sweetly.
"That's a very nice name." Xiao Yan smiled, then asked, "Yuqing, are your family members okay with you coming to participate in the Spirit Pool competition?"
"I only have an older sister, and this time I came with her. But after entering the mountains, I got separated from my sister, and I'm looking for her now." Luo Yuqing's beautiful eyes dimmed as she spoke softly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan sighed inwardly. He didn't expect the girl to have such a background. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Luo Yuqing say, "Big Brother Xiao, I have to go now. I need to find my sister; I'm afraid she might be in danger. Goodbye."
Before Xiao Yan could say anything, Luo Yuqing got up and walked into the dense forest. However, the moment she stood up, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly constricted. An extremely terrifying soul power erupted from the girl's body, spreading out like a storm into the depths of the forest.
"This is an Imperial Soul!?"
Watching the girl walk into the depths of the forest, Xiao Yan was taken aback, truly deeply shocked. His soul perception wouldn't be wrong; the soul power emitted by the girl was the fluctuation of an Imperial Soul.
At such a young age to possess an Imperial Soul, Xiao Yan had never heard of such a thing. This talent was truly terrifying. This girl was a natural alchemist!
"Small wonder she dares to wander alone in the Spirit Gathering Mountains." After regaining his composure, Xiao Yan finally understood. With the girl's Imperial Soul, even ordinary Supreme Realm experts would find it hard to harm her. Moreover, the powerful soul power could help her avoid many dangers unexpectedly.
"Truly worthy of the Great Thousand World, where all kinds of extraordinary people and events are countless. It seems that the Imperial Soul is not just something I possess; perhaps the talented geniuses of the Great Thousand World also have it." Xiao Yan murmured, then closed his eyes, no longer thinking about it, and entered a state of cultivation, waiting quietly for the Spirit Pool to appear.
When the sunlight shone on the earth, the darkness was completely dispelled, and the vast Spirit Gathering Mountains became lively. Young figures continuously darted through the dense forest, hoping to encounter the place where the Spirit Pool would emerge.
At this moment, Xiao Yan also came out of his cultivation state. Seeing the figure darting quickly through the dense forest, he raised an eyebrow but didn't pay much attention. He didn't plan to wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.
Xiao Yan had a powerful Imperial Soul perception, so he didn't need to worry about the location of the Spirit Pool. As long as the Spirit Pool appeared, he could detect it in the first instance. Therefore, he just needed to wait patiently.
Xiao Yan closed his eyes again to rest. After a few hours, he quietly opened his eyes, a fierce look flashing in them. Then his figure flashed, and he headed directly northwest.
Because just now, under Xiao Yan's Imperial Soul perception, the little girl Luo Yuqing seemed to be in trouble!
Xiao Yan's soul power had been spreading throughout the entire Spirit Gathering Mountains, and he was particularly attentive to the little girl Luo Yuqing. After all, the little girl was very cute, and Xiao Yan didn't want anything to happen to her. Since the Spirit Pool hadn't appeared yet, he could help her as much as possible.
Spirit Gathering Mountains, northwest direction!
In a dense forest, several young men and women were present, and the scene seemed tense.
"You bunch of bad guys, actually bullying my sister!"
In the dense forest, a pleasant female voice suddenly rang out. A very cute girl was staring angrily at the three young men in front of her. This girl was naturally Luo Yuqing.
Standing beside Luo Yuqing was a young woman. This woman was tall and beautiful, with a resemblance to Luo Yuqing.
However, she was more mature, with a cold expression on her pretty face and a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. This woman was Luo Yuqing's older sister, Luo Yuling, with a strength at the Seventh Rank Supreme Realm.
"Turns out it's a pair of sisters. I was getting a bit bored, and now a pair of sisters appears, how interesting!"
The leading young man stared at the Luo sisters, his fiery gaze constantly scanning their bodies.
This person was from one of the three major families in the Eastern Capital, the Zhao family, Zhao Yi, with a strength at the Eighth Rank Supreme Realm, making him one of the outstanding figures among the younger generation of the Zhao family.
"Big Brother Zhao Yi, let's act quickly, or we might alert others and cause trouble!" A young man beside Zhao Yi reminded him. The Spirit Gathering Mountains gathered many young figures, and it was uncertain what powerful roles they might encounter.
"Don't rush, it's more fun to take it slowly. Besides, who would dare to touch the women I, Zhao Yi, have set my eyes on in the Spirit Gathering Mountains?" Zhao Yi said coldly. He was an Eighth Rank Supreme Realm expert and a member of one of the three major families in the Spirit Capital. If others wanted to act against him, they would have to consider their own strength and the background of their families.
"Two beauties, will you surrender obediently, or do I need to take action?" Zhao Yi's eyes were filled with evil intent.
"Shameless!" Luo Yuling's eyes turned cold, gripping her long sword tightly and sternly said to Luo Yuqing, "Yuqing, you must go!"
"Sister, I won't go, I want to protect you!" Luo Yuqing pouted, her large eyes looking at Zhao Yi. A vast Imperial Soul power surged out, an invisible soul storm began to sweep the surroundings, and a large soul hand instantly formed above Zhao Yi's head, then angrily grabbed down.
"Imperial Soul?" Zhao Yi was surprised for a moment but quickly regained his composure, sneering, "The girl has good talent, but with your initial-stage Imperial Soul power, you're no match for me."
As he spoke, a vast spiritual energy surged out from Zhao Yi's body, his fingers forming a fist, and he struck directly at the soul hand above his head with a simple, unadorned punch.
Boom!
An Eighth Rank Supreme Realm strike, combined with an initial-stage Imperial Soul, was naturally hard to resist. After Zhao Yi's punch landed, cracks quickly appeared on the soul hand, and it was shattered.
Luo Yuqing was startled, but she began to desperately mobilize her Imperial Soul power to repair the soul hand, but it was of no use. After all, an Eighth Rank Supreme Realm expert was not someone she could currently contend with.
Luo Yuling naturally noticed the complete collapse of the soul hand. She immediately raised her long sword, ready to charge forward.
However, at that moment, an overwhelmingly vast soul power suddenly surged, then poured into the already collapsed soul hand.
