Chapter 352: Planting the Puppet Seed! Controlling the Soul Hall's Forces in the Northwest Continent!

"Since you've said that, I obviously wouldn't come alone!"

Hearing these words from "Protector Yun," the previously calm face of the black-robed elder finally showed a hint of unease.

In the next moment, a half-meter-wide bolt of silver lightning suddenly shot out from the space between him and "Protector Yun."

Then, under the gaze of both the black-robed elder and "Protector Yun," this thick silver lightning instantly transformed into a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe, with an extremely refined and scholarly appearance.

As soon as this refined man appeared, the elder of the Soul Hall faintly sensed a dangerous aura.

On "Protector Yun's" side, after the refined man appeared, his figure began to dissolve mysteriously, ultimately turning into a stream of soul energy that entered the body of the refined man.

"Who exactly is this person? To possess such a bizarre soul clone technique!"

Seeing "Protector Yun" merge into the body of the refined man, the black-robed elder immediately realized that this was just one of his clones.

However, while the black-robed elder was pondering this, the refined man didn't waste any words and directly charged toward him.

Just as the black-robed elder was about to mobilize his Dou Qi to resist, a sudden, intense burning sensation erupted in his chest.

"Heart Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame!"

Sensing the abnormality within his body, the black-robed elder hurriedly tried to suppress the Heart Flame. Because of this distraction, the powerful punch that the refined man had been gathering struck him directly.

With just one punch, a deep fist imprint appeared on the elder's chest, and his body was sent flying a hundred meters back, blood spurting from his mouth.

However, during his rapid retreat, the black-robed elder finally managed to suppress the strange Heart Flame within him.

"This man's strength is formidable, and he has an accompanying Heavenly Flame. I can't stay here any longer..."

After suffering such a heavy blow, the elder of the Soul Hall was decisive and immediately prepared to flee.

Seeing the elder attempt to escape, the refined man remained utterly composed.

"One Step to the Horizon!"

With a soft murmur in the refined man's mind, his figure suddenly vanished from where he stood. In the next moment, in front of the fleeing elder, a fist wreathed in an invisible flame was already crashing toward his head.

"How is this possible? This man's movement technique is too monstrous!"

Seeing the fist coming at him, the black-robed elder was utterly horrified. He forcefully halted his retreat and conjured a pitch-black shield in front of him.

"Boom!"

Under the impact of the fist, the Dou Qi shield that the black-robed elder had hastily formed provided no resistance at all and was shattered almost instantly. Then, in his view, those fists seemed to grow larger and larger, completely blocking his sight.

"Thud!"

The refined man's punch landed squarely between the black-robed elder's eyes, and the invisible flames on his fist quickly spread out.

Under the force of this violent punch, the emaciated black-robed elder let out a shrill scream and was once again sent flying, retreating dozens of steps.

The invisible flames continued to burn his body and even his soul.

It should be noted that the Fallen Heart Flame naturally had a strong suppressive effect on soul energy, completely negating the soul techniques of the Soul Hall members.

Seeing that the elder's body was starting to fall, the refined man showed no mercy. Using the same technique, he appeared behind the elder once more and delivered another devastating blow.

With the refined man's current cultivation level, even a half-saint level expert would be unable to match his "One Step to the Horizon" technique without the aid of spatial powers.

It didn’t take long before the black-robed elder was severely wounded, rendered incapable of resisting any further.

In this situation, the refined man suddenly channeled his soul power in a strange manner, driving it into the brow of the Soul Hall elder.

What he was executing now was the ancient secret technique, Puppet Seeding Technique, which was returned by the system after he taught Liu Ling the Heavenly Demon Puppet Technique last time!

Though the ancient Puppet Seeding Technique is complex, its success rate becomes exceedingly high when there is a vast difference in soul power or when the opponent's consciousness is faint.

At this moment, the refined man’s soul realm was a full level higher than the Soul Hall elder’s, and the elder was already dazed from the severe beating he had received, making this the perfect moment to plant the puppet seed.

As the refined man’s soul power frantically poured into the Soul Hall elder's body, it swiftly enveloped his soul, then directly penetrated deep into it in a mysterious manner.

Moments later, deep within the Soul Hall elder's soul, a nearly transparent crystal-like particle appeared. Around this transparent crystal particle, countless fine, transparent threads extended, firmly rooting the particle within the soul.

Only when those transparent threads had spread throughout every corner of the Soul Hall elder's soul did the refined man withdraw his soul power from his body.

"Your subordinate, Ye Ming, greets Master!"

After the refined man completed this process, the Soul Hall elder's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, and he bowed respectfully to the refined man.

There was no trace of dullness in his eyes; in fact, he was still forcibly enduring the pain from his injuries.

"Take this."

Seeing the condition of the Soul Hall elder who had been implanted with the puppet seed, the refined man tossed a healing pill into his mouth.

As the pill took effect, the pained expression in the elder’s eyes gradually began to fade.

During the process of performing the Puppet Seeding Technique, the refined man had already gleaned some memories from the Soul Hall elder.

From these memories, the refined man discovered that this branch of the Soul Hall in the Northwestern Continent was managed by Ye Ming, who would collect soul bodies every four years and deliver them to a superior, a Tianzun-level expert of the Soul Hall.

It was during this time, just before Ye Ming left the branch hall, that he would journey to Central Plains to hand over the four years’ worth of collected soul bodies.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly formed in the refined man's mind. He intended to use a similar method to lure Ye Ming's superior, the Tianzun-level expert of the Soul Hall, out alone. Then, he would use the same technique to plant a puppet seed in that Tianzun, gradually infiltrating the Soul Hall until he could fully control it.

"Ye Ming, I want you to go to Central Plains again, find your superior, and tell him you’ve discovered the location of an untamed Heavenly Flame, the Fallen Heart Flame! Lure him out! Remember, you must report your progress to me at all times!"

Due to the puppet seed, the refined man could communicate directly with Ye Ming through their minds.

"Yes, Master!" Ye Ming responded respectfully.

By taking control of Ye Ming, the refined man had effectively seized control of over ninety percent of the Soul Hall’s forces in the Northwestern Continent.
