Meanwhile at Gu Liang's residence, after Yan Susu's departure a moment ago, Gu Liang appeared to call one of the trust elders he had to head to his room.
"Honor to the sect head." His words that had just entered the residence of his sect head.
"You know what you have to do." Said Gu Liang who was immediately greeted by a nod of the head from the elder who was none other than Tzu Ning.
"I understand." Tzu Ning then walked out of the residence and ordered some members of the skull mountain sect who had the strength of senior warriors to guard around the area of the residence of the sect head.
While the sect members who had the power of a king swordsman to a soul swordsman, they were assigned to guard the main territory of the sect, the, and the rest were assigned to patrol alternately around the skull mountain with a holy warrior.
"For the others who have not yet obtained a task from me, you are not allowed to exit the sect arena before the chairman is finished with his closed-door training, if anyone still does that, he said, then I'll take him as a traitor and kill him right away." It was clearly Tzu Ning with a cold look in her eyes.
This was done by Gu Liang of course to ensure the safety of himself who would confine himself in absorbing the death flame spirit core that was currently sealed before him.
Because it is not impossible that there is a possibility that the sect has been infiltrated by warriors from outside who disguise as a black swordsman.
Although he had already been helped by the soul protection pill, but still, the process of absorbing the death flame would also take quite a long time and be painful.
"I thought I'd wait a little longer before absorbing your power, but it seems like you should prepare now since it's time for you to become my strength!!!."
After saying that Gu Liang directly took out a grain of soul protective pill that Yan Milk gave him and thoughtlessly swallowed it straight away.
At the same time he released a seal that locked the fire of death and it was seen that the fire spirit immediately shot up and intended to escape.
"Want to run away from me, never dream." With such a powerful inner strength, Gu Liang caught the death flame spirit and before long the effects of the soul protective pill had also begun to be seen.
"Watch the true spiritual fire power!!!!! Ahahaha!!!! Ahahaha!!!!!" Gu Liang's laughter broke out as he began to absorb the flames of death, then after some time had passed, his laughter had now changed with cries of pain due to the burning heat of the soul power he possessed.
"Yahoooooooo!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaa!!!! Aaaaaaaa."
The horrifying cry from within Gu Liang's residence was now shaking the entire region of the skull mountain sect.
Suppose he had not swallowed the soul-protective pill first, perhaps by this time his soul power had already been burnt to ashes along with the body he had.
From outside of his residence, the swordsmen of the skull mountain sect who heard such terrifying screams of pain could only shudder in horror at the pain felt by his current sect master.
"When sect master Gu Liang was a ninth stage saint warrior already at the peak, what if we were to absorb that death fire spirit." Said one of the soul warriors standing in front of Gu Liang's residence.
One of the other soul warriors who was there also shuddered in horror after hearing the words of his colleague.
"Have it, we better be quiet if we don't want to get punished later." Answer the partner.
Without any one of the skull mountain sect members realizing, among the black warriors there was something else lurking about them from under their feet.
"Based on a fucking rat, get you out of there." Shouted a golden swordsman who had just kicked a little mouse and made him run away.

Meanwhile, at the same time, Ling Yan who was now facing four eyes with his teacher was seen putting on a face so serious after what his teacher had just said.
"Fire star stones!!! That master was one of Wei's fire spirit cores, he gave the fire spirit core to one of his students named Yuanrang."
Ling Yan was so shocked when Shen Yu said that the spiritual flame aura he had just sensed was the aura of a spiritual fire spirit named the star stone fire (ranked 17).
"Hmm.. no doubt, that means the black swordsman who just came here was Yuanrang, and if that is true, it means, then it was certain that he had come to see the state of the soul-burning fire." Shen Yu.
"But teacher, how could he know the existence of the soul-burning fire, whether anyone had informed him of the existence of this spiritual flame, whether he might have known it from....." Ling Yan tried to guess who could tell the existence of the soul-burning fire to one of his fellow students.
And without thinking, what he thought was exactly the same as what his teacher thought.
"That's right, there's a possibility that he has currently allied himself with Jin Fan, since only he knows the existence of the soul-burning fire in the thousand-sword sect." There was a hint of regret in Shen Yu's eyes because at the time of the attack he instead let Jin Fan escape from his pursuit.
Ling Yan who saw the expression of his teacher immediately tried to comfort him.
"Teacher doesn't have to feel that guilty, doesn't there be no one who can stop them but me." Ling Yan said.
"Doesn't that mean that even if the teacher didn't let him escape at that time, he would still be able to get away from you, after all even though the two of them are currently building an alliance, anyway, those two fellows of mine will definitely take quite a long time to gain a lot of strength." Continued Ling Yan again with such a calm facial expression.
Hearing his disciple's words made Shen Yu again turn his facial expression serious.
"In that case, I'll give you a favor just this time."
Shen Yu was seen taking out a soul protective pill from within his nat ring.
"The "soul eyelids that are the main prize in the fight can only be used to concoct one soul protection pill, and you have to concoct it yourself, as for this soul-protective pill you should use it to absorb the sky flames that are on my teacher's scroll."
Ling Yan did not reject the pill but his subsequent words left Shen Yu stunned at the persistence of the child.
"Even if master gave me this pill, I would still not absorb the celestial flames before I managed to concoct my own soul protective pill.
Because for me the test that the teacher gave before is still a test that I have to pass and complete on my own, and for this pill, he said, I will keep it first and will use it if the situation can't be controlled anymore." Replied Ling Yan firmly.
"I see, after this test, I will give you 5 more months, and if by the time you reach 16 you can't concoct the soul-protecting pill yet, then you must use my pill to absorb one of the two fire spirits."
