Chapter 321: Capturing the Netherworld Poison Flame!

After completely extracting the memory of the Sky Poison Saint, Gu He returned his focus, noticing the surprised expression on Xiao Yixian’s face. With a gentle smile, he asked, “Hehe, Xian'er, are you frightened by your teacher’s strange methods? Or perhaps, you think my methods are too evil?”

“Ah!”

Hearing Gu He's question, Xiao Yixian was initially stunned, but she quickly shook her head and solemnly said, “Teacher, your method of devouring souls is indeed somewhat eerie, but Xian'er is not scared at all.”

Since leaving the Yun Lan Sect and coming to the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Yixian had seen many dark sides of the world and had participated in numerous battles herself. She had even witnessed the disgusting sight of a million corpses. So, the scene of devouring souls was relatively mild for her.

“Moreover, Xian'er believes that all power in this world is neither evil nor righteous. What truly determines its nature is the person who uses it! If a person has evil intentions, even a knife or a sword can turn him into a demon!” Xiao Yixian continued.

“Exactly, exactly! Sister Xian'er is absolutely right!” The Void Beast clapped its hands in agreement from the side.

After hearing Xiao Yixian’s words, Gu He’s smile grew even warmer. He sighed, “Indeed, Xian'er, it brings me great comfort to hear your understanding! The most important aspect of power is the character of the person wielding it!”

“Thank you for the praise, Teacher!” Xiao Yixian said, her face lighting up with joy at Gu He's compliment.

After that, Xiao Yixian hesitated a bit before saying, “Teacher, does summoning you here mean I’ve failed the mission?”

Seeing her expression, Gu He chuckled, “Summoning me is related to your safety and does not conflict with the mission I assigned.”

“Really!”

“I thought summoning you here meant the mission failed, but this way, I can still complete the remaining tasks!”

Xiao Yixian’s face showed relief after hearing Gu He's answer.

“Xian'er, I am only here as a projection and cannot stay for long. Finish your tasks as soon as possible and prepare to return to the sect!” Gu He suddenly said.

“Mm! I will complete the tasks and return as quickly as possible!”

Hearing Gu He's words, Xiao Yixian nodded quickly in agreement.

However, in her heart, she was very curious about Gu He's mention of projection.

“Projection? What kind of method is this? It allows Master to cross countless distances and instantly appear by my side!” Xiao Yixian thought to herself.

Despite her curiosity, Xiao Yixian didn’t ask more about the projection but instead inquired about another concern.

“Teacher, how are Senior Brother and Junior Sister Yanran progressing with their tasks? Are they faster than me?” Xiao Yixian asked playfully.

Upon hearing her question, Gu He slightly furrowed his brow and said, “I am not yet fully aware of your Junior Sister Yanran's situation, but I visited your Senior Brother yesterday. He has completed all his tasks but has chosen to stay in Stone Desert City for a while.”

“He’s already completed his tasks? As expected of Senior Brother!” Xiao Yixian praised Liu Ling, then added, “Teacher, when I return, I will visit Junior Sister Yanran in the Demon Beast Mountain Range!”

“Mm! Arrange it as you see fit!” With that, Gu He's gaze turned to the skeleton left by the Sky Poison Saint on the throne.

Generally speaking, even after a Dou Saint perishes, their bones are treasures. Especially the marrow within a Dou Saint's bones, which can be considered a supreme treasure for Dou Venerate level experts.

Gu He gently raised his hand, intending to draw the skeleton towards him from a distance. However, as soon as the invisible force lightly touched the skeleton, it suddenly collapsed, disintegrating into countless tiny dust particles that scattered across the throne, leaving nothing useful behind.

Seeing this, Gu He felt a sudden realization, understanding that Xiao Xuan’s strike had been devastatingly fatal to the Sky Poison Saint.

“Let's go and check out the Netherworld Poison Flame.”

With a light sigh, Gu He waved his hand, tearing open a pitch-black rift in the space before him. He then led Xiao Yixian and the Void Beast through it.

When the trio reappeared, they were hovering above the toxic swamp.

Hovering above the swamp, Gu He and the others did not see any sign of the Netherworld Poison Flame. Suddenly, the Void Beast, with a proud tone in her childish voice, said, “Master, I just gave that little butterfly a good beating. It must be hiding now!”

“You're really something. Even the powerful Netherworld Poison Flame isn't a match for you!” Xiao Yixian said, joyfully patting the Void Beast's head. She felt genuine gratitude and affection for this little creature she had only recently met.

“Hehe! It’s nothing!” The Void Beast smiled bashfully.

“Where could the Netherworld Poison Flame be hiding?” Xiao Yixian suddenly asked.

Just as Xiao Yixian finished speaking, Gu He softly said, “I can sense its presence!”

Then, before Xiao Yixian and the Void Beast could react, Gu He whisked them away again.

In just a few breaths, Gu He brought Xiao Yixian and the Void Beast to the sky above an ancient city, but still, there was no sign of the Netherworld Poison Flame.

Upon arrival, Xiao Yixian pondered for a moment and then guessed, “Master, could it be that the Netherworld Poison Flame has dived into the underground dark river?”

“Exactly!”

Gu He smiled faintly before launching two terrifying beams of Dou Qi towards the ground.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

With two earth-shattering explosions, the broad streets of the ancient city split open, creating two enormous cracks several meters wide and tens of meters deep.

Soon, a stream of highly toxic green water began to gush from the cracks, and from the fissure near the green water lake, a purple figure swiftly emerged.

As the purple figure attempted to dive into another section of the dark river, Gu He transformed into a silver lightning bolt, reaching the purple figure at an unimaginable speed.

“Woo…”

Startled by Gu He's sudden appearance, the purple figure let out an indescribable cry.
