Chapter 239 The Dark Pope
This method can briefly condense a layer of soul power shield during sword moves. Although it does not last long, it may play a key role at a critical moment.
At the same time, in the Dark Church.
The mysterious man who had returned in defeat from the Qingyun Sect was kneeling under the throne of the Dark Pope, with his head lowered and his body trembling slightly.
"Waste! You can't even bring back a little disciple of Qingyun Sect!" The Dark Pope's voice was cold and angry, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell. His roar echoed throughout the hall, and the candlelight on the wall swayed violently.
The mysterious man didn't dare to look up and said quickly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Lan Yunyan is highly regarded in the Qingyun Sect, and her strength far exceeds our expectations. We were also stopped by the elders of the Qingyun Sect.
However, Your Majesty, I discovered during my battle with her that although she can temporarily unleash powerful strength, she seems unable to fully control it. As long as we can find a way to restrain her, we will be able to capture her next time."
The Dark Pope was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Send the order and gather all the wise men and masters of our sect to discuss strategies to deal with Lan Yunyan.
This woman must have a special opportunity. If I can use it, then the Dark Church's dominance in the world of immortal cultivation will be just around the corner."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The mysterious man hurriedly retreated after receiving the order.
The wise men of the Dark Church gathered together and discussed in low voices in the dim chamber. Some proposed using a dark magic circle to trap Lan Yunyan, while others thought they could find a magic weapon that could seal her soul power.
Some believers who are good at making poisons suggested developing a special poison that could weaken Lan Yunyan's strength.
After many days of planning, they finally came up with a sinister plan. They planned to set a trap in a small town near Qingyun Sect, using a magical weapon that could simulate the aura of a powerful treasure emerging from the world to lure Lan Yunyan to them.
Then, they set up numerous dark magic circles and hidden masters around the town. Once Lan Yunyan stepped into the trap, they would launch a surprise attack, first weakening her strength with poison, then trapping her with magic circles, and finally having the masters capture her.
Lan Yunyan, who was practicing in Qingyun Sect, finally broke through her own bottleneck after a long period of seclusion.
She felt as if she had been reborn, her soul power became more powerful, and her understanding of the Qingfeng Sword Technique reached a whole new level.
She stood up and swung her sword gently. Before she could make any moves, the spiritual energy around her was drawn in, forming tiny vortices.
At this time, she received a piece of news that a strange light and powerful spiritual power fluctuations appeared in a small town near Qingyun Sect, and it was suspected that a peerless treasure was about to be born.
Lan Yunyan's heart moved. She knew very well that in this troubled time, any abnormality might hide danger, but she also didn't want to miss any opportunity to improve her strength or obtain treasures to fight against the Dark Church.
After some thought, she decided to go to the town to find out.
Lan Yunyan approached the town cautiously. She could feel a strange smell in the air.
Her vigilance increased instantly, and her soul power slowly circulated in her body, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
The moment she stepped into the town, suddenly, countless followers of the Dark Church poured out from the surrounding houses, and a black magic circle appeared in the sky, covering the entire town.
The followers of the Dark Church shouted in unison, and all kinds of dark magic poured down on the blue clouds like black raindrops.
Lan Yunyan remained calm in the face of danger and cast the "Gentle Wind Blowing Willows" technique. The sword shadow instantly enveloped herself, forming a defensive barrier that blocked the dark magic one by one.
But she could feel that there was a special power contained in these dark magics, which seemed to be constantly eroding her defenses.
At this moment, a black figure fell from the sky. It was the mysterious man who had fought with her in the back mountain of Qingyun Sect.
"Lan Yunyan, today is the day you die. You can never escape from our clutches again!" said the mysterious man with a wild laugh.
Lan Yunyan snorted coldly, "You sinister villains think you can trap me?" After that, she unleashed the Star-Breaking Wind Sword, and the golden sword energy rushed towards the mysterious man like a scorching sun.
The mysterious man didn't dare to take it head-on. He dodged and hid in the dark magic circle.
Lan Yunyan knew very well that she had to break the formation as soon as possible, otherwise it would be extremely disadvantageous to her to get stuck in a protracted war.
She began to carefully observe the flaws in the magic circle. She found that there were several key nodes in the circle. As long as these nodes were destroyed, the magic circle would collapse.
So, she focused her energy and attacked the node.
However, the Dark Church had been prepared, deploying numerous experts to guard the nodes. Lan Yunyan's every attack was met with stubborn resistance, and her body was constantly damaged by the attacks of dark magic.
But she gritted her teeth, and with her tenacious perseverance and ever-increasing strength, she rushed towards the node again and again.
In the fierce battle, Lan Yunyan suddenly remembered the method of combining defense and offense that she had learned while practicing deep in the spiritual veins.
She condensed a soul shield in the sword move, and then rushed towards a node desperately. Under the protection of the shield, she successfully resisted the enemy's attack and stabbed the node with a sword.
As the nodes shattered, cracks began to appear in the magic circle.
Lan Yunyan pursued the enemy with her victory, destroying several nodes in succession, and the dark magic circle finally collapsed completely. Seeing the situation was not good, the followers of the Dark Church fled.
But how could Lan Yunyan let them go so easily? She used the Qingfeng Sword Technique to kill the fleeing believers one by one.
Seeing the situation was hopeless, the mysterious man tried to sneak away. Lan Yunyan's sharp eyes locked onto his figure in an instant.
Lan Yunyan's figure flashed and appeared in front of the mysterious man like a ghost. Her eyes were cold and full of endless murderous intent. The long sword in her hand trembled slightly, as if she was also eager to drink the blood of her enemy.
"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Lan Yunyan's voice was low and firm, like a verdict from the underworld.
The mysterious man's face was full of fear, his legs were weak and he could hardly stand.
