Although Yun Shan could contact Protector Wu, the latter seemed to have more arrangements for Yun Shan, not even setting a task quota for him, telling him to focus on breaking through to Dou Ancestor.
Therefore, joining Soul Hall through another channel and in another form became quite necessary.
The Black Storm had passed, and Xiao Protector had also left with the Black Storm.
Returning to the cave where his main body was hidden, the Amon avatar said with a smile, "Good luck, this Protector is easier to talk to."
Amon adjusted his monocle and softly said, "He seems to be using the Black Storm as cover to kill people, disguising their deaths as being caused by the Black Storm."
"After all, even the Black-Corner Region wouldn't welcome an organization that targets killing and preying on people's souls," the Corpse Dance Crow said in a hoarse voice.
Soul Hall A Meng played with the Soul Pouch and said, "No wonder the Black Storm is so dangerous, making people change color at the mention of it. It turns out more of it is due to human factors."
"Xiao Protector's side is up to you. You've been marked, after all, so let's keep our distance from now on," the main body of Amon said indifferently.
Soul Hall A Meng clicked his tongue but said nothing.
Amon and the Corpse Dance Crow set off again.
After several days of flying, the black color of the land below gradually faded, and some villages and small towns appeared.
The Black-Domain Great Plains was behind them; they had officially entered the Black-Corner Region.
Above some large cities, flight restrictions were in place. Flying recklessly over these areas would be considered a provocation to the local ruling powers.
So Amon took some detours, trying to avoid these powers. The Fallen Heart Flame was his primary target.
In the Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy, a young woman dressed in black training clothes, with an enchanting and charming face, sat atop a building, looking boredly into the distance.
As if sensing something, she turned her head and gazed intently into the distance.
"Has he come…? It's been a long time, main body."
She unconsciously raised her right hand to pinch her eye socket, but stopped abruptly in mid-air, curbing the action.
"Hey, Xiao Meng, I'm planning to go treasure hunting in the mountains, are you coming?" Below, a girl in white clothes waved and shouted.
Xiao Meng shook her head, "I have something going on recently, so I don't have time to play with you."
"Oh, is that so? Alright then," the girl in white left with a slight look of disappointment.
...
Amon, atop the Corpse Dance Crow, curled his lips into a smile.
"Tsk, in that direction?"
Using the connection with Xiao Meng, he immediately pinpointed the location of the Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy, which, unlike the location marked on the map for Jia Nan Academy, was situated deep within the endless mountains.
His gaze flickered, and after a moment of hesitation, he didn't directly cross the vast mountains. Instead, he headed towards Peace Town, which was marked on the map.
To obtain the Fallen Heart Flame from Jia Nan Academy, his current power was insufficient. His primary target was the nascent stage exotic flame deep underground, within the Magma.
However, finding a nascent stage exotic flame was by no means easy; it was isolated by the spatial Barrier left by the Heavenly Flame Venerable, making it undetectable by ordinary means.
In the original work, Xiao Yan also found it by relying on the special connection between the two Fallen Heart Flames.
Amon was unsure of his luck, so he had to make two preparations. If he could find the small flame, that would naturally be good, allowing him to easily achieve his goal.
If he couldn't find it, he would act against the mature Fallen Heart Flame, which would require some planning.
Peace Town was the first small town in the Black-Corner Region that led to the area around Jia Nan Academy.
As its name suggested, Peace Town was a "peaceful" town. Of course, it wasn't absolutely peaceful, and some conflicts were naturally unavoidable, but they were usually controlled within a certain degree, unlike the Black-Corner Region where life and death were often decided at a whim.
The Corpse Dance Crow lowered its altitude, and Amon leaped down from the bird's back, bending his knees slightly to absorb the impact.
A Worm of Spirit emerged from his body and transformed into a human form amidst a starlight glow.
Amon's main body then transformed into the Worm of Spirit's beast form and merged into the clone's body.
The main body maintained a high level of mental connection with this clone, so the one controlling the body's words and actions was actually Amon's main body.
The Corpse Dance Crow flapped its wings and landed on Amon's shoulder.
Amon unhurriedly walked towards the town situated in the valley between two majestic mountains.
Joining the dirt road that led directly to the town, he observed the passing pedestrians.
Even before reaching Peace Town, they consciously began to restrain their killing intent, trying their best to abandon the Black-Corner Region's way of doing things, lest they lose control after entering Peace Town and kill someone, leading to expulsion by the Jia Nan Academy Enforcement Team. More severely, they might even be killed on the spot.
Along the verdant dirt road lined with trees, Amon slowly approached Peace Town. The closer he got to the town, the softer the expressions of the pedestrians became.
At the entrance to Peace Town, Amon paused briefly, admiring the "Spirit Tree of Death" with its dozens of hanging corpses next to the town for a while.
The "Spirit Tree of Death" was just an ordinary tree with a rather strange appearance and distorted branches, but it was famous for having corpses hanging on it year-round.
These were hung by people from Jia Nan Academy to deter lawless ruffians coming from the Black-Corner Region.
The effect was also very significant, as the pedestrians who were struggling to control their killing intent were the best manifestation of this deterrent effect.
Upon entering the town, and before walking far, a dozen figures blocked Amon and some others who entered with him.
They were the Jia Nan Academy Enforcement Team, uniformly dressed in light blue robes, with azure badges on their chests, on which a blood-stained dagger was carved.
The leader of these dozen people, in a calm tone, asked the entrants to state their identities and to take a light red pill.
He explained, "This is not poison, but a pill that can sense killing intent. If someone harbors killing intent, a red light will emanate from their body, and we will expel those who emit red light..."
A burst of red light suddenly glowed from the young man who had just taken the pill.
"Yes, just like that..."
The leader of the Enforcement Team looked at the patch of red light in front of him and subconsciously said.
Immediately, he reacted, flashing back and quickly creating distance, his expression grave as he stared at the outsider who was continuously emitting red light.
This was a young man with black hair, brown eyes, a slender build, ordinary facial features, a deeper outline, and dressed in ordinary linen clothes.
Amon did not use his own appearance; he used his shaping ability to make some changes.
The Killing Intent Sensing Pill would automatically adjust the depth of the red glow emitted based on the intensity of a person's killing intent.
At this moment, the red light on Amon was so intense it seemed about to drip blood, so Rich that it was almost black!
This naturally aroused the high vigilance of the Jia Nan Academy Enforcement Team. They had been doing enforcement work for so long, and this was the first time they had encountered such a color.
A person with such vast killing intent would certainly not be simple. Therefore, the leader of the Enforcement Team did not directly act, but spoke in a subtle yet firm tone:
"Friend, please leave. Our Peace Town does not welcome..."
Before he could finish speaking, the red light on Amon quickly receded. He revealed a gentle smile and politely said:
"I apologize. Hearing your introduction, I became curious and decided to try it. I hope I haven't caused you any trouble... My name is Zhou Mingrui. May I enter now?"
