"That master of Xiao Yan's, isn't that the Yao Zun Zhe, Yao Chen? Don't tell me he was captured by the Hall of Souls?"
Hearing this, Feng Qing'er was instantly stunned.
"That's right."
Lin Feng chuckled softly and explained, "A few years ago, Yao Chen was captured by the Hall of Souls in the Northwest Continent."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing'er's delicate face showed a look of realization. If that master of his was in the hands of the Hall of Souls, then Xiao Yan's actions of stirring up trouble there made much more sense.
Thinking of this, Feng Qing'er smiled and said, "Alright then, once I get back, I'll quietly gather some information about the Hall of Souls."
"Mm."
Lin Feng nodded slightly, a faint smile playing at his lips.
Since Xiao Yan liked to jump out and cause trouble anyway, he could just use that guy's name to stir up the Hall of Souls's branch halls a few more times. When the real rescue of Yao Chen came, let's see how you'll handle it!
"Husband, I've brought the Third Elder."
At that moment, Ye Xinlan's crisp voice suddenly came from the doorway.
The instant she appeared, Xiao Yixian and Feng Qing'er, as if sharing the same thought, both quickly got up from Lin Feng's lap at the same time. After all, in front of outsiders, they still felt a little shy about sitting there.
"Third Elder, long time no see."
When Lin Feng saw the Third Elder arrive, he also stood up and cupped his hands slightly in greeting. Although his strength was greater than the elder's, the man was still Ye Xin Lan's elder, so Lin Feng gave him due respect — no need to make his wife feel awkward.
"Lin Feng, you've been waiting. The family members were crying and making a fuss, wasted a bit of time."
The Third Elder quickly replied politely, clearly understanding the situation himself.
After a few brief exchanges, Lin Feng went straight to the point and said, "Third Elder, since you've already handled things on your end, let's head to the Sun Fire Ancient Altar and begin the secret ritual."
"Alright."
Hearing that, the Third Elder's body trembled slightly, but he still nodded firmly. At that moment, one might have thought he was walking to his own execution.
Lin Feng merely sighed inwardly.
After all, the elder didn't yet know what this secret method truly entailed, and since it required him to end his own life first, no amount of comforting words would ease his mind before the revival.
So, he simply told the women to wait there, then led the Third Elder toward the Sun Fire Ancient Altar. Deep within the Ye Clan estate, there was an ancient altar enclosed by a circular stone wall, sealing Lin Feng and the elder inside completely.
From outside, one could only see towering, timeworn stone walls, their surfaces smooth as mirrors. As the ritual formation activated, beams of light began to bounce off the polished surfaces, eventually converging upon the center of the altar.
The brilliant white light was dazzling to the eyes.
Not far away, a few silhouettes stood anxiously watching in that direction — they were the Third Elder's wife, children, and kin. It was as if their eyes could pierce through the stone walls to see what was happening inside.
Within the altar, as the stone walls stabilized, Lin Feng began taking out all the materials prepared for the elder's revival.
"Third Elder, let's begin."
Lin Feng used his Dou Qi to suspend those items in midair, then looked toward the elder, whose expression was visibly tense.
"Lin Feng, if this attempt fails — even if I'm left with only a fragment of soul — I won't blame you. But if it succeeds, your kindness will be remembered by our Ye Clan for generations!"
The Third Elder's gaze swept across the items, his face solemn.
Among them were: the blood essence of a Rank 8 Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast, an eighth-grade Five-Colored Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill, and the corpse of a peak Eight-Star Dou Zun expert.
Each of these was a priceless treasure for the Ye Clan. Yet Lin Feng had brought all of them out at once.
This favor — the elder would never forget!
With that, the Third Elder's palm gathered an intense surge of Dou Qi. Then, he clenched his teeth, raised his hand, and resolutely struck his own head.
Bang!
Because he had withdrawn his protective Dou Qi beforehand, the immense pressure instantly shattered his skull — his brain matter dispersing into nothingness. His body then slumped limply onto the blazing stone platform of the Sun Fire Ancient Altar.
Immediately after, a faint, translucent figure identical to the Third Elder appeared before Lin Feng's eyes. Seeing this, Lin Feng said, "Third Elder, take a moment to get used to your current state. We'll begin shortly."
"Alright."
The Elder responded without hesitation and immediately focused on adjusting to his soul form any mistake later could mean permanent death. After some time, the Third Elder said, "Lin Feng, I think I've adapted enough. Let's start."
"Alright."
Lin Feng nodded, then closed his eyes to recall the exact process of the resurrection secret art.
Moments later, his palm waved, and a terrifyingly hot Blood Spirit Flame erupted into view. With a soft whoosh, it enveloped Dong Yan's corpse. As the Blood Spirit Flame continued to refine, a faint, meaty aroma slowly filled the Sun Fire Ancient Altar.
At the same time, threads of dark, lingering resentment from Dong Yan's soul were forced out by the scorching flame, vanishing into the void.
"Third Elder, give me a wisp of your soul power."
Watching as the remnants of the original soul within the corpse were completely driven out by the flames, Lin Feng's expression turned grave as he spoke in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the Third Elder didn't dare to delay. He immediately separated a wisp of soul power from the space between his brows and flicked it toward Lin Feng.
After all, whether or not he could regain a physical body depended entirely on this attempt. Catching the wisp of soul power, Lin Feng's palm flicked sharply, hurling it straight into the corpse.
After doing so, Lin Feng turned toward the visibly nervous Third Elder and said, "Swallow the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill, and when I give the signal, you must immediately enter the body!"
"Alright."
The Third Elder nodded solemnly, then carefully held in his hands that eighth-grade Five-Colored Pill — a treasure that he could sell himself a hundred times over and still never afford to buy again.
He took a deep breath, clenched his hand around the dark-red pill that almost seemed eager to escape, and shoved it directly into his mouth. As soon as Lin Feng saw the elder swallow the pill, he quickly reached out to grab a massive jade bottle beside him.
Inside the transparent bottle sloshed a thick, purple-black liquid. A violent and overwhelming energy radiated from within. This purple-black liquid was none other than the blood essence of the Rank 8 Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast.
With a light squeeze of his palm, Lin Feng crushed the jade bottle.
Crack!
The bottle shattered, and its contents a full bottle of raging, violet-black blood floated outward. Then, with a wave of Lin Feng's hand, the beast blood poured down upon the corpse that was wrapped in the Blood Spirit Flame.
Chi chi~
The moment the blood touched the body, the fierce energy within it exploded violently, releasing bursts of sizzling sounds as it corroded Dong Yan's corpse. However, the scene before him did not startle Lin Feng in the least.
Having performed the secret ritual once before, he remained perfectly calm. He merely glanced at it, then continued manipulating the Blood Spirit Flame to raise its temperature. As the flames grew hotter, the beast blood clinging to the corpse began to writhe strangely.
The purple-black blood started to merge with the burned flesh that had been turned into pure energy, wrapping it layer by layer. Gradually, it seeped into the exposed white bones beneath. As that purple-black energy was absorbed, the pale bones were swiftly dyed a dark purplish hue.
Even the hollow eye sockets, which had been lifeless moments ago, began to flicker faintly filled with a trace of vitality. The Third Elder, watching this sight, couldn't help but reveal a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
Although he had heard Lin Feng describe this secret technique before, hearing was one thing witnessing it was entirely another. Now that he was seeing it firsthand, he could faintly sense that this ritual was truly extraordinary.
As for Lin Feng, he stood quietly, watching as the beast blood continued merging into the bones. After roughly half an hour, a faint gleam suddenly flashed across the skeleton's eyes.
Those hollow sockets, which had once been completely dead, now flickered with traces of life. Of course, that vitality did not come from the body itself, but from the wisp of the Third Elder's soul residing within.
The instant the body's eyes opened, Lin Feng — experienced from last time — knew that this was the critical moment. He shouted in a low, commanding voice, "Third Elder, get inside the body, now!"
Startled by the sudden command, the Third Elder flinched, then hastily and clumsily dove toward Dong Yan's body. The next second, his soul collided directly with the Blood Spirit Flame enveloping the corpse.
"Ahhh!"
As his soul was seared by the flames, the Third Elder cried out in agony. But gritting his teeth, he endured the pain and forced himself onward.
Whoosh~
A few minutes later, with a faint sound, the Third Elder's spirit finally dove completely into the body surrounded by the crimson flame.
Bang!
The moment his soul entered the bones, the corpse before Lin Feng trembled violently. The hollow eye sockets began to glow with gathering light. At the same time, a strange wave of energy spread outward from within the body.
Astonishingly, under the mysterious effect of that energy, faint red liquid began to flow through the bones — blood. The flesh that had been burned away and absorbed by the beast blood's energy began to reform.
Under the miraculous power of the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill, new flesh and blood rapidly grew from the bones. But this newly grown flesh guided by traces of the old body perfectly matched the Third Elder's soul.
