A dark and windy night, a night for murder and arson!
When Xiao Fan arrived at this branch hall, the Soul Hall group had already arrived at their assigned rooms and begun to rest.
Looking at the wary Dou Zong experts outside the branch hall, Xiao Fan showed a hint of disdain. Chaos Fire enveloped himself, and a dark crack appeared within the flames, which was clearly a spatial rift.
Logically, such a commotion as a spatial rift should have been enough to alarm the Soul Hall's Dou Zun experts within the main hall. However, the fact is that none of the experts in this Soul Hall branch noticed it at all.
All of this is naturally thanks to the Chaos Fire.
Within the chaotic fire, as the spatial rift completely disappeared, the chaotic fire burned in mid-air before turning into a wisp of flame and vanishing completely.
Meanwhile, inside this branch hall, a dark flame emerged from the void and burned quietly. Then, within the flame, a tiny spatial rift appeared.
Under Xiao Fan's control, the spatial rift gradually expanded, but it still did not exceed the range covered by the Chaos Fire.
He stepped out of the spatial rift, and this was the method Xiao Fan had just developed. By combining the Chaos Fire with the spatial rift, he could conceal himself from everyone and enter the Soul Palace.
Upon entering the Soul Palace branch hall, Xiao Fan looked around and exchanged a glance with Mo Shang.
The reason why the fluctuations of the spatial rift could be concealed by the Chaos Fire inside the Soul Palace was naturally because of the existence of a "coordinate" like Mo Shang.
Even on his way here, Xiao Fan had already figured out how to maximize his gains!
"Tons, tons, tons!"
Inside the branch hall, the door was knocked on, and a hint of doubt flashed in Zhu Yu's eyes.
Zhu Yu is the master of this branch of the Soul Palace.
He had struggled in the Soul Palace for so many years, and only by chance decades ago did he manage to break through to the Dou Zun realm, but he knew his own talent.
If I don't have the opportunity to change my talent in the future, I'm afraid my strength will stop there.
He had already resigned himself to his fate. After all, in the Soul Palace, without a background and talent, someone like him rarely had the chance to change himself. Although he had heard that there might be a way to change one's talent in the Heavenly Palace, what merit did he, a person who had just broken through to the Dou Zun level, have to enter the Heavenly Palace?
But now, the Eight Heavenly Venerables have arrived at his branch hall.
Zhu Yu felt that this might be his chance to change his fate.
The Eight Heavenly Venerables have the opportunity to recommend strong individuals for entry into the Heavenly Palace!
Therefore, Zhu Yu donated half of his wealth to the Eight Heavenly Venerables during the day, hoping that he could finally get what he wanted.
Now, hearing the knocking at the door, Zhu Yu, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, revealed an undisguised excitement.
Gently opening the door, Zhu Yu saw Mo Shang, the leader. Looking at the mysterious figure shrouded in black robes behind Mo Shang, Zhu Yu became even more excited.
With a hint of excitement on his face, before Mo Shang could speak, Zhu Yu pulled them into his room. After carefully checking that no one had noticed them outside, he closed the door, his face beaming with excitement.
Zhu Yu turned around, looked at Mo Shang and the figure shrouded in black robes, and his face showed excitement. He whispered to Mo Shang, "So Brother Mo is actually one of the Eight Heavenly Venerables. I have long heard of Brother Mo's outstanding talent and have been interested in befriending him. Today, my wish has finally come true!"
Mo Shang and Xiao Fan were stunned by Zhu Yu's actions, but regardless of the process, they entered Zhu Yu's room without any surprises.
The two exchanged a glance. The pitch-black flames within Xiao Fan's body emanated from his feet, without revealing the slightest trace of his aura, gradually enveloping the entire room.
"Yes, it should be more discreet. My bad, but don't worry, the soundproofing here is excellent. Even a Dou Zun expert would hardly be able to detect anything coming from inside..."
Seeing the two's actions, Zhu Yu thought Xiao Fan was setting up a barrier, and his face showed excitement as he slowly spoke.
Seeing that the other party did not stop them, in the blink of an eye, the dark flames enveloped the room.
Looking at Zhu Yu, Mo Shang feigned concern and said, "Palace Master Zhu, this is a high-ranking official who serves the Eight Heavenly Venerables. Ordinary people would never even see him..."
Upon hearing Mo Shang's introduction, Xiao Fan opportunely revealed his strength as an eight-star Dou Zun.
Zhu Yu sensed Xiao Fan's presence and had no doubts whatsoever.
With strength only slightly weaker than the Eight Heavenly Venerables, it seemed they knew about Zhu Yu's bribery of the Eight Heavenly Venerables during the day. Thinking of this, Zhu Yu felt a pang of heartache...
With trembling hands, Zhu Yu took out his storage ring and, with a heavy heart, handed it to Xiao Fan.
"Sir, since this is our first meeting, I have nothing to offer you. This is just one of my specialties; please take a look..."
Chapter 272 Killing the Enemy
Xiao Fan looked at the storage ring Zhu Yu handed him, a hint of surprise flashing across his face hidden beneath his black robe.
However, in just a moment, Xiao Fan calmly put the storage ring away.
"Indeed, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable has high hopes for you!"
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Zhu Yu's face flashed with excitement. He rubbed his hands together and looked at Xiao Fan and Mo Shang with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
"Thank you, sir. I will certainly follow the arrangements of the Eighth Heavenly Venerable!"
"I don't know... about the matter I asked the Eighth Heavenly Venerable to let me enter the Heavenly Palace to cultivate..."
Upon hearing Zhu Yu's words, Xiao Fan and Mo Shang had a sudden realization...
It turns out that Zhu Yu approached the Eight Heavenly Venerables in order to enter the Soul Palace Heavenly Palace for cultivation. No wonder he showed such an attitude when he saw the two of them earlier.
It seems their deal was shady.
It's likely that Zhu Yu mistook the two for messengers sent by the Eight Heavenly Venerables, which is why he let them in so easily.
Regardless of the process, the final result left Xiao Fan and Mo Shang extremely satisfied.
"The Eight Heavenly Venerables said..."
Xiao Fan spoke softly, his hoarse voice causing a flicker of excitement to cross Zhu Yu's face.
However, Xiao Fan's voice was very soft, and as Zhu Yu listened, his body unconsciously moved closer to Xiao Fan.
However, Zhu Yu, who was completely unsuspecting, was immediately suppressed by Xiao Fan after getting close to him.
With Xiao Fan's strength as an eight-star Dou Zun, coupled with his soul training far exceeding the Dou Zun realm, Zhu Yu couldn't cause the slightest ripple under the combined dominance of Xiao Fan and Mo Shang...
"this!"
As Zhu Yu sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Fan and Mo Shang, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and his eyes were filled with doubt and confusion before he died.
Unfortunately, no one answered him.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy..."
Xiao Fan and Mo Shang looked at Zhu Yu, who had turned to ashes, exchanged a glance, and a sense of amusement arose in their hearts.
However, this success put the two of them at ease.
At the same time, Mo Shang and Xiao Fan also opened the door to a new world.
After dealing with Zhu Yu, the two carefully examined the hall, finding no trace left, before slipping away.
They left the hall where Zhu Yu was.
Led by Mo Shang, Xiao Fan headed towards the location of the other Dou Zun.
In this branch hall, there were two Soul Hall experts with the strength of Dou Zun stationed. At this moment, Xiao Fan and Mo Shang walked towards the main hall where another Dou Zun was located.
Following the same method, he gently knocked on the door of this Dou Zun powerhouse's palace.
However, this time something unexpected happened.
As the palace doors opened, what came into Xiao Fan and Mo Shang's view, besides the one-star Dou Zun powerhouse within the palace, was another three-star Dou Zun powerhouse, none other than the one that Eight Heavenly Venerables had brought out from the Earth Palace.
"Don't hurt me!?"
The three-star Dou Zun powerhouse that the Eight Heavenly Venerables brought out from the Earth Palace was named Xu Chang.
Venerable Xuchang looked at Mo Shang, who appeared at the entrance of the hall, and showed a look of surprise. Then, his gaze fell on Xiao Fan beside Mo Shang, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"What are you doing here? And who is this person next to you...?"
Upon seeing Venerable Xuchang appear in the room, both Xiao Fan and Mo Shang felt a chill run down their spines.
If the other party is on guard, even if two Dou Zun powerhouses make a move, it is impossible for them to remain silent. Their confrontation will inevitably alert the Eight Heavenly Venerables in the hall.
Even if the Eight Heavenly Venerables were alerted, Xiao Fan would not be in any danger. However, this would expose Mo Shang's existence...
If Mo Shang's identity within the Soul Palace is exposed, then all his previous plans will have been in vain...
This was something Xiao Fan absolutely could not allow, after all, there was the future...
"Venerable Xuchang, I didn't expect to see you here..."
Mo Shang's thoughts stirred, and a smile appeared on his face. His eyes looked at Venerable Xuchang with a hint of flattery, as if he had something on him that was under the other's control.
"Enough with the nonsense, Mo Shang. What brings you here in the middle of the night?"
Seeing Mo Shang's guilty look, Venerable Xu Chang felt reassured. His gaze fell on Mo Shang and Xiao Fan, who was shrouded in black robes behind him. His eyes flashed with a dangerous light as he questioned him loudly.
"This isn't the right place to talk, how about we..."
Mo Shang glanced around the hall, then tentatively looked at Venerable Xuchang.
"Hmph! Come in!"
After pondering for a moment, Venerable Xuchang nodded slightly and allowed Xiao Fan and Mo Shang to enter the hall.
After the two entered the hall, the gazes of Venerable Xuchang and the one-star Dou Zun also fell on Mo Shang and the others.
"Alright, get to the point!"
Venerable Xuchang looked down on him with disdain. Although Mo Shang was now a prodigy in the palace, in terms of strength, Mo Shang had only just broken through to the first-star Dou Zun. Naturally, he did not take him, a three-star Dou Zun, seriously.
Moreover, now that Venerable Xuchang has finally seized such an opportunity, he naturally wants to take a piece of the pie from Mo Shang.
After all, Mo Shang, as a prodigy of the Soul Palace, possessed an unimaginable amount of cultivation resources.
