After the two left, apart from Elder Yao and Venerable Feng and their disciples, only Venerable Tiejian and Venerable Tianhuo remained in the main hall.
"This is Senior Venerable Heavenly Fire, back when we were at Canaan Academy..."
Looking at everyone, Xiao Fan took the initiative to speak, recounting the origins of Venerable Heavenly Fire, and said to Elder Yao and Venerable Feng, "Teacher, Elder Feng, we owe our junior brother many times thanks to you..."
"I see......."
The old master of medicine cupped his hands in greeting to Venerable Tianhuo and said kindly, "Thank you, Your Excellency. My two disciples have troubled you."
"Haha, I didn't have to do anything. In fact, they saved my life!"
When Tianhuo Venerable heard Yao Lao's words, he shook his head slightly. He naturally knew that the body he was currently using and the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill he had taken were materials prepared by Xiao Yan to revive Yao Lao. However, after the battle in Saint Pill City, Xiao Yan gave them to him, allowing him to come back to life. Such a kindness was enough for Tianhuo Venerable to remember for a lifetime!
Seeing this, Yao Lao did not continue to be polite. He was not angry at Xiao Yan for giving the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill to Venerable Tianhuo. On the contrary, he agreed with it. After all, it was just a pill. Once one reached a certain level, one could naturally refine it. And a Dou Zun powerhouse like Venerable Tianhuo was not someone one could meet by chance.
Seeing that the hall was full of their own people, Venerable Feng and the others stopped chatting and began to speculate about the Soul Palace's next move.
"In order to rescue Yao Chen, we destroyed a branch of the Soul Palace and killed a Black Celestial Venerable. I'm afraid the Soul Palace won't let this go easily. We need to plan carefully..."
After listening to Venerable Feng's words, everyone fell silent for a moment, looking at Xiao Fan as if he were a monster.
Of the seven Dou Zun in Saint Pill City, there is now Black Heavenly Venerable who killed a six-star Dou Zun. Xiao Fan's strength is truly terrifying.
"This...you've misunderstood..."
Seeing everyone's expressions, Xiao Fan hesitated for a moment, coughed, and, noticing that everyone's eyes were on him, said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well... after the battle in Saint Pill City ended, I chased after them and ambushed them, even killing one Yin Bone. As for Mu Gu and the other Dou Zun, I let them escape..."
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Venerable Feng and Elder Yao exchanged a glance and frowned. They were unaware of this news.
"Alas! It seems the Soul Hall now considers us a thorn in their side. This battle is unlikely to be easy..."
Seeing Venerable Feng's sighing expression, Xiao Fan felt a little embarrassed to tell him about Mo Shang's achievements.
However, Venerable Feng, being an old and shrewd man, noticed the hesitation that flashed across Xiao Fan's face and immediately felt a bad premonition. His eyes twitched, he exchanged a glance with Elder Yao, looked at Xiao Fan, and said, "You... have more?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded amidst the numb gazes of the crowd and said, "Ahem..."
"This... Old Ghost Zhaixing and Bai Tianzun... have also..."
Swish!
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, not only Venerable Feng, but everyone else looked at Xiao Fan in surprise.
"Gudong~"
Venerable Wind swallowed hard, then sat back down heavily in his chair and said, "You... this is fake, isn't it?"
However, when they saw the serious expression on Xiao Fan's face, they all fell silent.
Even Xiao Yan and Yao Lao felt a sense of numbness.
"Damn it, they're actually resisting J2?"
Even with Venerable Feng's composure, he uttered a rare swear word.
"Seven Venerable Ones, plus Yin Bone, Star-Picking Old Ghost, and Black and White Heavenly Venerables!"
"These individuals were all prominent figures in the Soul Hall, and now they've all died at your hands. You're probably already on the Soul Hall's kill list! Having suffered so many losses, the next time the Soul Hall makes a move, it won't just be against experts at the Dou Zun realm..."
Old Feng's tone was somewhat helpless as he slumped back into his chair.
Upon closer examination, everyone realized that the number of Soul Hall Dou Zun experts who had died at Xiao Fan's hands had actually exceeded double digits. It should be noted that even in the heart of the continent like Zhongzhou, having one Dou Zun expert in a sect was enough to qualify it as a first-rate power.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but be shocked by Xiao Fan's abnormal strength.
"Next, a bloody battle is likely to await us..."
Seeing the worried looks on everyone's faces, Xiao Fan was not afraid at all. Looking at everyone, he said, "Hehe, in my opinion, the next step should be for us to take the initiative!"
"Take the initiative!?"
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Venerable Feng and the others exchanged glances, a hint of worry rising in their hearts. It seemed Xiao Fan's strength was too monstrous, making him somewhat arrogant and underestimating his opponent...
If this continues, we'll suffer losses.
"Hehe, seniors, rest assured, I naturally understand the terror of the Soul Palace. What I mean by taking the initiative is not to attack the Soul Palace."
Seeing the gazes of Venerable Feng and the others, Xiao Fan knew what they were worried about and quickly added his own words.
“The Soul Hall and we are now sworn enemies. The next time they make a move, the strength of the Soul Hall’s experts will be terrifying. With our strength, it will be very difficult to resist them.”
"Moreover, once the Soul Palace makes a move, other forces will inevitably take advantage of the situation."
"You mean..."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Wind and Thunder Pavilion?"
"No!"
Xiao Fan's lips curled up, and he uttered a name that no one had expected.
"The Pavilion of the Underworld!"
"The Pavilion of the Underworld!?"
Venerable Feng looked at Xiao Fan in surprise and asked, "You still have a grudge against the Yellow Springs Pavilion?"
Xiao Fan looked at Venerable Feng, shook his head slightly, and said, "Back when the Four Directions Pavilion Conference was held, we had already fallen out with Venerable Huangquan. Moreover, when the Wind and Thunder Pavilion issued a warrant for our arrest, we also encountered assassins from the Huangquan Pavilion. It was only after my strength as a Dou Zun was exposed that the Huangquan Pavilion stopped making any moves."
"However, given the Yellow Springs Pavilion's vengeful nature, this matter will certainly not end here; once the Soul Palace makes a move, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will inevitably follow suit. The Yellow Springs Pavilion already has a grudge against us, and given its ability to befriend the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Soul Palace, it will definitely get involved!"
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's analysis, Venerable Feng remained silent.
He and Venerable Huangquan were both Dou Zun, one of the four pavilions, so he naturally knew Venerable Huangquan's temperament. After listening to Xiao Fan's words, he couldn't help but sigh. If they did nothing, Xiao Fan's guess would most likely come true.
"Why don't you attack the Wind and Thunder Pavilion first? Thunder Venerable is stronger than Huang Quan, and given the irreconcilable conflict, wouldn't it be better to kick him out of the game first?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "It's no secret that Fenglei Pavilion wants to rely on the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. Given the enmity between Fenglei Pavilion and us, there might be powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan residing within Fenglei Pavilion. If we act rashly, we might fall into their trap."
Everyone was surprised as they listened to Xiao Fan's reasoned analysis.
Originally, it was thought that Xiao Fan was blinded by the fruits of victory, but now it seems that he has seen further than anyone else, not only considering the enemies that have already appeared, but also the potential enemies.
However, both Venerable Feng and Elder Yao hesitated to make a move against the Yellow Springs Pavilion so soon.
After all, once the war starts, there will be no turning back. At that time, what the Starfall Pavilion will face is definitely a battle to the death.
"You two are so fussy and indecisive, you don't even have the foresight of a younger generation!"
Just then, the Iron Sword Venerable, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, interrupting Venerable Feng and Elder Yao's thoughts. He said, "This lad is not bad, he suits my taste. No matter who the other party is, I just need to hold my sword tightly. The people of the Yellow Springs Pavilion are enemies, not friends. Why hesitate so much?"
Chapter 214 The Lord of Yongluo Palace (Second Update)
Hearing Iron Sword Venerable's words, Wind Venerable and Medicine Elder exchanged a glance, then looked at Iron Sword Venerable and couldn't help but laugh, "You old codger, you're lecturing us now..."
As soon as they finished speaking, Venerable Feng and Elder Yao had made their decision. They looked at Xiao Fan, nodded, and said, "Alright! In that case, let's start with the Yellow Springs Pavilion!"
.................
Within a branch hall of the Soul Palace in the Western Regions of Central China.
Mo Shang sat inside the hall, surrounded by powerful members of the Soul Hall, who carefully protected the surrounding environment without causing any damage.
Swish swish!
Suddenly, several energies surged in the space, and a terrifying aura suddenly filled the space above the hall. Two figures slowly emerged under everyone's gaze.
Mo Shang looked up at the figure that appeared above him, a smile playing on his lips beneath the mask.
"Finally here..."
Concealing the unease in his heart, Mo Shang flashed forward, landing in front of the two figures, and respectfully said, "Welcome, esteemed lords!"
"Ok!"
A calm voice rang out, and Mo Shang could feel the other person's gaze sweep over him, only glancing at him briefly before settling on the icy pool behind him.
"Is this the place where the old ghost and Bai Tianzun's auras disappeared?"
A barely audible murmur arose, and two of the three figures in front of Mo Shang walked straight past him, landing directly on the edge of the icy pool behind him, carefully examining their surroundings.
Watching the two's actions, Mo Shang kept his head down, showing no reaction whatsoever, as if he wasn't the one being ignored.
However, the remaining figure's gaze fell upon Mo Shang, scrutinizing him carefully before speaking, "Mo Shang... I've heard of you!"
"I never imagined that the little guy who was brought back from the Northwest would grow up to be this powerful, becoming the acting master of a Di Sha Hall..."
Hearing the other party's words, Mo Shang was not surprised at all. After all, his experience was not a secret. The other party could find out about him with just a little inquiry. Mo Shang looked up at the other party's somewhat effeminate face and thought for a moment. He had never seen the other party before and did not know his identity.
"All of this is thanks to Protector Eagle for his guidance, which brought me from this remote place to this prosperous Central Plains!"
Upon hearing Mo Shang's words, a sickly smile appeared on the other person's effeminate face, and a sharp laugh rang out: "Hehehehe, you don't need to thank him!"
A soft, feminine voice rang out, saying, "Little Eagle's own cultivation talent isn't high, but he has a good father. When he saw your cultivation talent, he originally planned to directly possess you and change Little Eagle's cultivation talent..."
Hearing what the other person said, Mo was startled.
The little eagle he mentioned should be the Eagle Protector, and the Eagle Protector's supposed good father is the other party's father, who is a temple master.
Mo Shang's rapid rise within the Soul Palace was due to two main reasons: his own exceptional talent and the support of his father, Protector Eagle. With the backing of a branch hall master and his own extraordinary talent, Mo Shang was naturally able to achieve great success within the Soul Palace.
"Hehehehe, no need to be nervous!"
The powerful woman looked at Mo Shang, her figure swayed, and before Mo Shang could react, she had already appeared beside him, gently patting Mo Shang's shoulder as if it were insignificant, lightly brushing away the dust from Mo Shang's shoulder.
"Since you've reached this point, they've naturally given up on the idea of possessing you. Don't worry! Back then, it was Little Eagle who personally refused, saying that he had finally discovered such a promising talent and didn't want to be the one to ruin such a gem..."
The powerful, effeminate figure leaned close to Mo Shang's shoulder and spoke softly. The distance between them was such that Mo Shang could even feel the chilling aura emanating from the other's breath as he spoke.
