Xiao Yan's face was filled with disbelief. Although he had never been to the Central Region, he knew the distance between the Central Region and Canaan College. Even if a Dou Zong flew at full speed, it would still take a few days.
And he was still in the Inner Court of Canaan a second ago, and in the next second, he was in the sky above the Central Region.
"As expected of Boss Chu, you're really resourceful!" Xiao Yan calmed his mind and couldn't help but sigh.
"Speak, why did you call me?" Chu Bei went straight to the point.
Xiao Yan was stunned at first, but quickly thought of something. His face was filled with anxiety as he hurriedly said: "Yao Lao was captured by the Soul Hall!"
Chu Bei frowned: "Then why are you looking for me? I'm just a merchant. "
Xiao Yan seemed to understand Chu Bei's meaning. He took out a transparent jade box about one meter long and one meter tall from his storage ring.
Inside the box, there was a ball of white flame dancing.
When this ball of flame was taken out by Xiao Yan, even though it was wrapped in a jade box, the temperature in the flying ship still dropped a lot.
"Bone Chilling Flame?" Chu Bei looked at Xiao Yan with some surprise.
"Bone Chilling Flame, ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. It is a unique flame that combines extreme cold and extreme heat. It can only be found in places of extreme cold and extreme Yin every hundred years when the sun and moon alternate."
"This was originally Yao Lao's Heavenly Flame, but when he was captured by the Soul Hall, he gave it to me."
At this point, Xiao Yan's expression became extremely serious: "Boss Chu, you're a merchant. I'm now using it to make a deal with you on behalf of Yao Lao. I want you to save Yao Lao and reconstruct his physical body. "
[Host, please complete the Bone Chilling Flame trade as soon as possible.]
[After the trade is completed, Level 9 commodity rights will be granted to the host and the host will be rewarded with 1,000,000 willpower.]
Just as Chu Bei was hesitating whether to be a good person for free, the system's voice sounded.
"Alright, I'll accept this trade."
Chu Bei really couldn't refuse the reward after completing the mission, especially the Level 9 Commodity Authority.
Therefore, Chu Bei could only suppress his kindness for the time being.
Once the Level 9 Merchandise Authority was unlocked, he would have the confidence to roam the Dou Qi Continent.
In the short conversation that followed, Chu Bei also found out the reason why Yao Lao was captured.
Speaking of which, this had something to do with him.
When Han Feng brought people into the Inner Court of Canaan, Chu Bei killed a Nine Stars Dou Zong from Soul Palace. Before this Dou Zong died, he had used the Soul Tablet to inform the Branch Hall Leader that he belonged to.
After this Branch Hall Chief had determined the general location of the Nine Stars Dou Zong's death, he had sent people to patrol and monitor in an attempt to find the entrance to the Inner Academy. However, it was to no avail.
Until today, when Vice Dean Hu Gan was leading a group of new students to train in the back mountain, they were discovered by the people of Soul Palace.
The Branch Hall Leader had also rushed over immediately. Although his interrogation was to no avail, he had discovered Yao Lao's existence.
The Branch Hall Leader was so strong that Hu Gan and Su Qian, who had arrived later, were heavily injured. As for Yao Lao, he was taken away by the Branch Hall Leader.
"Boss Chu, do you have any plans?" Xiao Yan probed.
Chu Bei smiled knowingly. After glancing at Xiao Yan, he moved his mind and pressed the transfer button on the agent interface.
In an instant, the entire Meteor Metal Ship turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
"I'm back!"
Looking at the familiar forest around him, Xiao Yan was shocked.
"Boss Chu!"
At this moment, Su Qian, Hu Gan, and the others saw Chu Bei and immediately flew over. Their voices were filled with shock.
They didn't expect that Xiao Yan would bring Boss Chu back after disappearing for a few minutes.
"Let's go and save Yao Chen." Chu Bei nodded at Su Qian and the others and said.
"Boss Chu, do you know the location of the Soul Palace Branch Hall that captured Elder Yao?" Su Qian was confused and asked.
The Soul Palace had many Branch Halls. Any one of them was extremely hidden and hard to find.
Chu Bei smiled. When the system accepted the Bone Chilling Fire, a small map appeared in his sea of consciousness.
There was a red dot on the map that represented Yao Lao's location.
— — —
The Bone Burying Mountain Range was located in the northwest of the Black-Corner Region.
Due to the terrain, the yin aura here was extremely heavy. Moreover, the yin aura was mixed with a thick corpse aura.
As this mountain range was close to the chaotic Black-Corner Region, it had the name Bone Burying Mountain Range.
The corpses of those who were killed in the Black-Corner Region would mostly be transported here and then casually discarded.
Regardless of day or night, it was almost impossible to find a shadow in this mountain range.
A cool breeze filled with chilliness brushed past the piles of bones. A ripple appeared in the air above a pile of bones. Several figures walked out from the ripple.
"I didn't expect the Branch Hall to be hidden in such a gloomy place."
Xiao Yan glanced at the hundreds and thousands of corpses below and couldn't help but crease his brows.
"Isn't this the most suitable place for them?"
The corners of Chu Bei's mouth held a smile. His gaze was fixed in between the two tall grey trees in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, one could discover that there was a spatial barrier between the two tall trees.
Arriving in front of the spatial barrier, Chu Bei casually waved his sleeve. The spatial barrier instantly shattered and waves of suction came from within.
Then, he waved his right hand and a huge net made of purple flames appeared in the air above the Bone Burying Mountain Range.
"There's actually such a barrier. What a big deal!" Su Qian was speechless. The barrier of this Soul Palace Branch Hall was even better than the one in their inner courtyard.
Entering the spatial barrier, Xiao Yan, Hu Gan and the others' expressions changed.
In their line of sight, there was an extremely high and steep slope. At the end of the slope was a huge valley surrounded by mountains. Inside the valley was a huge black hall that was at least a hundred zhang tall.
The huge hall was like a creeping wild beast that was hiding in the darkness. It was filled with a terrifying aura that chilled one's heart.
"Yao Chen is in that direction."
After entering this space, Chu Bei quickly determined Yao Chen's location according to the map given by the system.
Deep in the direction that Chu Bei pointed at, there was a huge plaza.
On the plaza, there were black stone pillars that were a hundred zhang tall.
Each of the stone pillars was covered with countless strange runes. Numerous pitch-black chains extended from the stone pillars, intersecting and outlining the air of the square.
At the end of these chains, there were balls of faint light floating. Inside these balls of light were illusory souls with painful expressions.
In the center of the plaza, there was a platform that was about a hundred zhang tall.
There was a huge stone pillar on each side of the platform. Four one-meter-long black chains snaked downwards like pythons.
At the end of the chains, there was a ball of light with the most intense glow.
Within the ball of light, an elderly soul was seated with his eyes closed. It was Yao Chen, who had been captured!
At this moment, the four strange black chains were entwined around his limbs like vines, causing him to be unable to move.
Suddenly, Yao Chen's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened in the deathly still atmosphere.
This was because he had sensed a few familiar auras.
"How did they find this place?"
Yao Chen determined the owners of these few auras. His puzzled old face became grave as he muttered to himself, "You should not have come."
This branch hall chief was a four star Dou Zun. Su Qian, Hu Gan, Xiao Yan and the others had taken the risk to come here. This was no different from sending themselves to their deaths.
Yao Chen tried to use his Spiritual Sense to transmit a message and ask Xiao Yan and the others to quickly leave. However, the chains on his body not only bound his soul but also suppressed his Spiritual Sense.
"Not good! The boundary wall has been broken. Quickly inform the hall chief! The remaining people will follow me to guard these spiritual bodies! "
A moment later, a black figure above the square sensed an abnormality and let out a sharp cry in a panic.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
The cry had just been emitted from his mouth when black figures rushed toward the square in twos and threes from every corner of this space.
"Yao Lao, we have come to save you."
A familiar voice sounded beside his ear. Yao Chen shook his head.
"Xiao Yan, Elder Su, with your strength, you really should not …"
Yao Chen sighed. However, he swallowed the remaining words in his mouth when he saw the few figures that had appeared in his sight. This was especially the case when he saw the person in the middle.
"Boss Chu! Why have you also come! "
Yao Chen exclaimed. The worry on his face instantly disappeared. Replacing it was a face that was filled with joy.
His originally translucent body even vaguely showed signs of disappearing due to his excitement.
"Xiao Yan, you used your Bone Chilling Flame to make a deal with me on your behalf. I have accepted this deal. Therefore, I have come," Chu Bei said indifferently.
Hearing this, Yao Chen looked at Xiao Yan. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
"The invaders are here. Let's take them down together!"
On the square, following a shout, several figures surrounded Chu Bei and his group in an instant.
Then, each of them held a weapon and charged toward Chu Bei and his group at the same time.
Looking at the attacking figures, Chu Bei smiled indifferently. As he raised his hand, a three-colored flame spread across the sky.
Amidst the terrifyingly high temperature, these black figures did not even get within ten meters of Chu Bei and his group before they were all burned by the flame. Not even their bones were left.
After casually dealing with a group of ants, Chu Bei extended his hand and pointed at the pitch-black chain that bound Yao Chen.
With a sizzling sound, the pitch-black chain was burned into nothingness under the three-colored flame.
"Thank you, Boss Chu, for saving me!"
Although he knew that the other party had saved him as a deal, Yao Chen, who had regained his freedom, still cupped his hands toward Chu Bei with a face full of gratitude.
"Who are you? How dare you come here without permission! "
"How did you find out about the entrance of this hall?"
At this moment, an icy cold voice was emitted from deep within the hall.
Immediately, a dense black fog surged out from within. Within the black fog, an old figure that was as thin as a skeleton slowly hovered above the square while emitting a sinister aura.
Within the black fog, one could vaguely see that old face appeared extremely shriveled. Both of his eyes were sunken and two clusters of ghost flames danced in his eye sockets, emitting traces of strangeness.
"Boss Chu. He is the one who captured Yao Lao, the hall chief of this branch hall." Xiao Yan pointed at the skinny old man and said.
"He is also a four star Dou Zun."
Yao Chen added. At the same time, he paid attention to Chu Bei's expression. It was as though he was testing the other party's expression when he heard that he was a four star Dou Zun.
However, to Yao Chen's disappointment, the other party's face did not reveal any joy or worry from the beginning until the end.
"Yao Chen, don't tell me that this person has received a favor from you?"
The skinny old man coldly stared at Chu Bei. His hoarse voice caused one's hair to stand.
Earlier, he had personally witnessed the scene of the person in front of him killing all his subordinates.
He had sensed the extraordinariness of the three-colored flame that was intertwined with each other.
