**
No matter how furious he was, he could only urgently come to a halt, lest he be struck by that sword light.
However, at the very moment he stopped, a new surge of Heavenly Flame emerged from within Lin Feng's body, rapidly patching up the breach in the fire net.
"Trap!"
A low cry suddenly rang out across the heavens and earth. The emerald flame atop the fire net above Protector Wu's head surged violently.
The giant net then plummeted, instantly enveloping his entire body.
"Ahhhh!"
The moment Protector Wu's somewhat illusory soul came into contact with the emerald fire net, a shrill, blood-curdling scream burst from his mouth.
The Fallen Heart Flame, with its strange soul-suppressing ability, rendered the already weakened Protector Wu completely powerless.
"I am a Protector of the Hall of Souls! If you dare kill me, the Hall of Souls will never let you go!"
Realizing there was no escape, Protector Wu endured the searing agony of the flames and let out a fierce threat with a savage expression.
In his heart, he still held a sliver of delusional hope.
He hoped that Lin Feng and the others would spare him because of the Hall of Souls's fearsome reputation.
"Heh... I'd like to see whether your colleagues would risk their lives to avenge you."
Hearing the enraged roar, Lin Feng's lips curled slightly in a sneer.
He was indeed hoping that other Protectors would come for revenge.
As long as they didn't swarm in all at once with overwhelming numbers, he could keep any incoming Protectors here—just like Protector Wu.
If that happened a few more times, his soul power might just soar directly to the peak of the seventh-tier alchemist.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the fire net that had ensnared Protector Wu rapidly flew toward him, guided by his soul force.
"Kid, capturing me won't benefit you. How about letting me go? I won't pursue the matter of you injuring me earlier. What do you say?"
Seeing that the situation was turning against him, the vicious glint in Protector Wu's eyes quickly receded. He forced a stiff smile as he spoke to Lin Feng.
"No deal. You'd better behave."
Lin Feng flicked his fingers, and a formless flame suddenly appeared in his palm. Without hesitation, he shot it straight at Protector Wu.
The Fallen Heart Flame shot through the fire net and stuck directly to Protector Wu's true body.
"This damn flame again! You bastard—if I ever get a chance, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
The moment the formless flame touched him, thick white smoke and hissing sounds erupted from Protector Wu's body.
Immediately after, a scream of soul-wrenching agony resounded from his mouth.
Watching the defenseless and thoroughly tormented Protector Wu, Lin Feng stripped the storage ring from his hand.
After all, the Hall of Souls possessed many Dou Techniques that could directly affect the soul—something Lin Feng was very interested in.
In times like this, of course, he had to strip Protector Wu of his storage ring.
He then pulled out a jade bottle from the ring. With a wave of his hand, a stream of Dou Qi pushed Protector Wu's remains into the jade bottle.
With another flick of his finger, a formless flame wrapped around the jade bottle and its opening.
Thanks to Lin Feng's deliberate control of the flame's temperature, the bottle itself was not incinerated by the Heavenly Flame.
"The first strange specimen is in the bag. I wonder how much this guy will boost my soul power."
Tossing the jade bottle in his hand, Lin Feng murmured to himself, then casually stored it in his storage ring.
"Now that Protector Wu has been dealt with, I'll head back to the Snake-People Clan. There are still many unresolved matters in the clan."
Once the jade bottle was properly stored, Medusa's seductive figure flew to Lin Feng's side and spoke.
"Alright, I have some matters to attend to in the Jia Ma Empire. I'll come find you after some time."
Thinking of a few familiar faces, Lin Feng immediately replied.
Hearing this, Medusa instantly thought of Yun Yun, her long-time rival. A trace of displeasure flickered in her enchantingly narrow eyes filled with exotic allure.
But knowing she couldn't stop it, she simply nodded slightly, then her seductive figure vanished into the distant sky.
"Senior Yun Shan, let's head back to your Yun Lan Mountain for now."
Watching Medusa's figure gradually disappear from view, Lin Feng turned his head and said with a smile to Yun Shan beside him.
"Alright."
The latter responded with a single word before taking the lead, flying swiftly toward the Yun Lan Sect.
Seeing this, Lin Feng retracted the bone wings on his back and extended the emerald Dou Qi wings once again, flying after the figure ahead.
In the main hall of the Yun Lan Sect, Yun Yun's graceful figure was seated on the main seat with elegance.
On both sides sat various elders of the sect, including Gu He, the sixth-tier alchemist.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the compensation for disciples who had fallen in the recent battles.
After a while, everyone seemed to reach a consensus.
Seeing this, Yun Yun was just about to adjourn the meeting when two familiar figures suddenly appeared in the center of the hall.
"Who dares intrude into my Yun Lan... Former Sect Master!"
An elder was about to scold the intruders but, upon seeing who they were, quickly bowed respectfully.
The other elders, upon recognizing the newcomers, also followed suit.
Over the past few days of battles, Yun Shan had frequently appeared to confront the Little Doctor Immortal.
As such, most of the elders were now familiar with his identity.
"Hmm."
Yun Shan gave a faint nod, his gaze sweeping across the assembled elders.
Finally, his eyes lingered for a long moment on Gu He, who had now broken through to become a high-level sixth-tier alchemist.
After a moment of contemplation, he ultimately decided to give up on Gu He and marry Yun Yun to Lin Feng instead.
After all, Gu He's intentions were well known throughout the entire Yun Lan Sect.
If he married Yun Yun off to someone else, the relationship between Gu He and the Yun Lan Sect would essentially be over.
Although Yun Lan Sect had helped Gu He rise to his current position...
Gu He had also refined pills for the sect for so many years. The favors between them were already settled.
On the other hand, despite being more than twenty years younger than Gu He, Lin Feng's alchemy skills were already on par as a sixth-tier alchemist.
Moreover, with his strength at the level of a three-star Dou Huang, his combat power could already rival that of a Dou Zong.
So between the two, Yun Shan naturally knew which to choose.
Furthermore, over the years, Lin Feng had often sent gifts to Yun Yun, clearly expressing his feelings for her.
And Yun Yun had always happily accepted those gifts—so she likely wouldn't refuse this union.
Thinking of this, Yun Shan suddenly spoke, "Since everyone is gathered here today, I have something to announce."
Upon hearing this, all the elders turned their gazes toward Yun Shan.
Lin Feng and Yun Yun also looked over curiously.
Yun Shan's eyes moved back and forth between Lin Feng and Yun Yun a few times, then smiled faintly at Lin Feng and said, "I intend to marry Yun'er to Lin Feng. Lin Feng, what do you think?"
"What?!"
The elders were stunned the moment they heard those words.
