In the Star Domain, the Three Thousand Burning Flame looked at Old Mu Gu with disdain. Although it did not have a great understanding of the Hall of Souls, it knew that the other party had helped it break the seal in order to obtain its origin flame.
"A Heavenly Flame that has gained intelligence is indeed different. How cunning!"
Old Mu Gu's expression turned completely gloomy. "However, do you think that you will not need to follow me to the Soul Hall just because you have gone back on your word?"
The expressions of Elder Sheng Yao, Cao Ying, and the others not far away improved when they heard the conversation between the Three Thousand Burning Flame and Old Mu Gu. Although the Three Thousand Burning Flame had broken the seal, from the looks of the current situation, the other party was not willing to submit to the Soul Hall.
"Since you have gone back on your word, do not blame this old man!" Old Mu Gu's tone had become unusually dense.
"Do you think that you can subdue me with just you?" The Three Thousand Burning Flame swung its enormous dragon head and threw a palm with its enormous mouth. Black flames lingered around it.
"The Pill Tower cannot do anything to you, but do you think that my Soul Hall cannot do anything to you? Once I bring you back to the Soul Hall, this old man will let you know what it means to live a life worse than death! "
However, Old Mu Gu's words had just sounded when an enormous black figure tore through space above his head. It was accompanied by a terrifyingly hot wind pressure as it ruthlessly slammed toward his head.
A black figure also appeared above Elder Sheng Yao, Ye Xinlan, and the others. It was a sharp claw with flames lingering around it.
The Three Thousand Burning Flame attacked without any hesitation. It swung its tail at Old Mu Gu and its claw at Elder Sheng Yao's group.
Faced with this sudden attack, both Old Mu Gu and Elder Sheng Yao did not choose to fight head-on. Instead, they quickly dodged.
This was especially the case for the former. After dodging the Three Thousand Burning Flame's dragon tail, he flipped his hand, and a bright silver jade tablet appeared in his palm. Then, he applied some force.
"Crack!"
The moment the jade tablet shattered, a large amount of black fog surged out of the hole from earlier. Three figures wrapped in black robes slowly walked out of the black fog.
"As expected, this animal still refuses to cooperate obediently."
After the three figures appeared from the black fog, three vast auras suddenly swept through the empty space like a storm.
The appearance of the three figures in the Pill Tower's plaza in the outside world stirred a great commotion.
"Another three people have come!"
"Old Mu Gu invited them!"
"Looks like they are Honorable Elders from the Soul Hall!"
…
The powerful cultivators of the Pill City, who had their eyes fixed on the screen, were even more shocked.
"Are these Soul Palace fellows already so impudent?! Now you don't even put my Pill Pagoda in your eyes! "
The expressions of Xuan Kong Zi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Lei Zi became even more unsightly. Their eyes were filled with killing intent. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't enter the Star Field, they would have killed the people from Soul Palace on the spot.
As for the five great clans, the Bai, Dan, Qiu, and Cao clans all had anxious and worried expressions on their faces.
At this moment, the most outstanding members of their clan's younger generation were all in the Star Field. Not only did they have to face the Three Thousand Burning Flames that had broken through the seal, they also had to face the four Venerated Experts of the Hall of Souls. There was the risk of dying at any moment.
Only the members of the Ye Family were slightly calmer. In their opinion, Ye Xinlan would be fine with the mysterious Boss Chu by her side.
"Mu Gu, you've really made ample preparations this time!"
Elder Sheng Yao's frown deepened as he glanced at the three figures.
None of these three people who had just appeared were weaker than Mu Gu in terms of aura. Clearly, they were Venerated Elders who possessed extremely high positions in the Hall of Souls.
Forget about an ordinary first-rate faction in the Central Plains, even the famous Three Valley Square Pavilion would not be able to take out four Dou Zuns.
Even the Three Thousand Burning Flame's enormous eyes had an additional solemness at this moment.
"Boss Chu, we …"
Ye Xinlan subconsciously leaned toward Chu Bei. She was just about to open her mouth to say something when she was interrupted by the other party's gaze.
That gaze told her that there was no need to be impatient.
"The three of you, there is not much time left. Once those three old fellows from the Pill Pagoda can enter, we will likely not be able to leave. "Old Mu Gu glanced at the three Venerated Elders who had been summoned and spoke in a faint voice.
"Hall Leader does indeed place great importance on this plan. In that case, let's begin." One of the Venerated Elders spoke.
Old Mu Gu's expression changed slightly when he heard the words' Hall Leader '. His eyes revealed some fear.
The next moment, Old Mu Gu and the other three Venerated Elders let out a cold cry at the same time.
Soon after, the four figures split into four different directions and flashed apart, surrounding the enormous Three Thousand Burning Flame.
"Ten Thousand Soul Devouring Formation!"
Cries sounded once again. A strange black fog surged out from the bodies of the four people in all directions and swiftly spread.
In an instant, the temperature of this space plummeted due to the appearance of the strange black fog. It became unusually dark and cold.
One could vaguely see many translucent souls drifting within the black fog. Their mouths emitted ear-piercing miserable cries.
The strange black fog first isolated the surrounding star strength. Soon after, it began to slowly approach the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
"All of you humans deserve to die!"
Killing intent surged in the eyes of the Three Thousand Burning Flame when it sensed the energy ripple within the black fog. It had just regained its freedom. Naturally, it was unwilling to be sealed again.
The Three Thousand Burning Flame opened its enormous mouth amid a soul-stirring dragon roar. Purple-black flames shot out of its mouth like pillars of fire toward the four Venerated Elders of the Hall of Souls.
Wherever the flames passed, the surrounding space distorted and caved in. Sizzling sounds could be heard.
Faced with the crazy counterattack of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, Mu Gu and the other three Venerated Elders' faces sank. The speed at which they formed hand seals increased.
Clang clang clang-
Suddenly, the sound of metal colliding rang out from within the black fog.
Then, over a thousand black chains, each half a meter thick, shot out from the black fog and penetrated through the fire pillars. Then, like giant pythons, they continuously intertwined on the body of the Three Thousand Burning Flame until they completely wrapped around it.
"I'm going to kill all of you humans!"
The Three Thousand Burning Flame's expression turned sinister. Its enormous body twisted frantically in an attempt to break free of the black chains that pierced its body.
At the same time, purple-black flames surged out of its body endlessly, burning the chains and the surging black fog in the surroundings.
Under the burning of the pitch-black flames, the first to suffer were the translucent souls. They struggled instinctively in pain and gradually turned into nothingness.
"Evil creature, we underestimated you!"
Looking at the pitch-black chains that were beginning to crack, Mu Gu and the other three Venerated Elders looked at each other. After communicating with their eyes, a large amount of black fog surged out from behind them once again.
Within the black fog, a large number of souls shrieked miserably as they frantically pounced toward the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
As these large numbers of souls poured in, the cracks on the pitch-black chains began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Is this the reason why the Hall of Souls collects souls? Their methods are truly too cruel! "
Thousands upon thousands of souls charged into the sea of flames in a suicidal manner like moths to a flame. Although the soul power that erupted from them successfully repaired the chains, their bodies were quickly burned into nothingness by the pitch-black flames.
Witnessing this scene, the faces of Cao Ying, Bai Ying, Ye Xinlan and the others were ashen. Their gazes were filled with anger as they looked at the four Venerated Elders of the Hall of Souls.
When these souls were alive, they had been killed by the people of the Hall of Souls using extremely cruel methods. After their deaths, their souls were used as cannon fodder!
However, it had to be said that although the methods of the four Venerated Elders of the Hall of Souls were extremely vicious, the results were indeed quite good.
As time passed, the Three Thousand Burning Flame's aura gradually became weaker.
"It will not be able to last much longer! Put in more effort! "
Mu Gu and the other three revealed joyous expressions as they sensed the weakening aura of the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
"Sacrifice the Life Soul Lock!"
Just as the voice of a Hall of Souls Venerated Elder sounded, four chains that were a hundred feet thick surged out from behind them.
The size of the four chains was so large that it left one speechless. The surface of the chains was covered in strange symbols.
At a closer look, one would see that the symbols were surrounded by countless faces that were filled with mournful expressions.
Rumble rumble rumble — —
Once these four chains appeared, the Three Thousand Burning Flame that was still struggling clearly became terrified.
"The Life Soul Lock of four Venerated Elders. That Three Thousand Burning Flame will not be able to last much longer." Elder Sheng Yao sighed.
The Life Soul Lock was the final trump card of the Hall of Souls Venerated Elders. This was because the Life Soul Lock was connected to their souls. Once it was damaged, they would also suffer extremely serious injuries. Hence, the Hall of Souls Venerated Elders would not use it until the very last moment.
Although it was very risky, its might was far from what an ordinary chain could compare to. It was extremely frightening.
"Form the Life Soul Lock Formation!"
After the Life Soul Lock was sacrificed, Mu Gu and the other three changed their hand seals.
Immediately, the four incomparably large black chains that resembled flood dragons pierced through the Three Thousand Burning Flame's enormous body with earth-shaking miserable screeches.
In practically an instant, the Three Thousand Burning Flame's enormous body that was originally struggling calmed down.
Clearly, this Life Soul Lock Formation was even stronger than the Ten Thousand Souls Devouring Formation from before.
"Evil creature, do you regret it now?" Old Mu Gu snorted coldly.
Gradually, under the suppression of the Life Soul Lock Formation, the Three Thousand Burning Flame's enormous body began to shrink at a visible speed.
However, the killing intent in its enormous eyes did not decrease. Instead, it increased as it looked at Mu Gu. Its ferocious mouth wished that it could bite the other party into pieces.
"Why are you still keeping these people from the Pill Tower?" The three Venerated Elders from the Hall of Souls looked at Mu Gu.
"Weren't you afraid that he would cause trouble back then? Since the Three Thousand Burning Flame is being suppressed now, it is time to deal with them. "After saying that, Old Mu Gu looked at Sheng Yao's group.
— — —
Outside, Pill Tower plaza.
"The Three Thousand Burning Flame is being suppressed!"
"What are the Hall of Souls' people doing now? Are they preparing to attack the Pill Tower's people? "
"Are they going to shed all pretenses of cordiality with the Pill Tower?"
"The Hall of Souls has never done things properly. This is especially true recently. Unexpectedly, they do not even care about the Pill Tower now."
…
The experts from Pill City watched Mu Gu's group of four walk toward Sheng Yao's group through the screen.
Murderous intent began to surface on the faces of Xuan Kong Zi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Leizi in the sky. At the same time, they communicated with their eyes, as if they were thinking of countermeasures.
"Association Leader, please save those little fellows."
The Bai Clan, Dan Clan, Qiu Clan, and Cao Clan — the people from the four great clans could no longer suppress the anxiety in their hearts. They bowed to Xuan Kong Zi's group of three, pleading with their words.
The expressions of Ye Zhong and the other upper echelon members of the Ye Clan also turned grave. Their gazes were fixed on the figure beside Ye Xinlan, who had not said anything since the beginning.
"Mu Gu, you despicable person. How dare you go back on your words!"
In the Star Domain, Elder Sheng Yao clenched his fists tightly as he stared coldly at Old Mu Gu.
"Old Man Yao, you have already lived for so long. How can you still be so naive? By entering your Pill Tower's Star Domain, I have already formed a grudge with you. Since that is the case, why not kill you and weaken your Pill Tower's strength at the same time? "Old Mu Gu let out a cold laugh.
Elder Sheng Yao's face sank when he heard Old Mu Gu's words. He turned to look at Cao Ying and the others, "All of you, withdraw quickly!"
Cao Ying, Bai Ying, and the others exchanged glances when they heard this. After coming to a mutual decision, they turned around and flew into the distance.
With their strength, they would not be of any help if they remained here. Instead, they would become a burden to Elder Sheng Yao.
"They are just a group of the younger generation. If I let them escape under my watch, won't I become a joke to the other old fellows when I return?"
A Hall of Souls Venerated Elder let out a cold snort. He waved his sleeve, and a spatial storm suddenly appeared where Cao Ying's group fled.
Under the pressure of this terrifying spatial storm, Cao Ying's group had no choice but to retreat.
At this moment, Old Mu Gu had already started fighting with Elder Sheng Yao.
The moment the two attacked, they both used killing moves!
Two terrifying auras surged in the air. The shock waves from the battle tore a large hole in space.
"You actually dare to split your attention and pay attention to those little fellows below while fighting with me?" Old Mu Gu pushed back Elder Sheng Yao with a palm strike and immediately followed up.
Sensing the increasingly sharp might from Old Mu Gu's palm, Sheng Yao no longer dared to split his attention. He focused on dealing with Old Mu Gu with all his strength.
"Little fellows, you are all the best of the Pill Tower's younger generation. Perhaps if you were given another hundred years, you would all become the Pill Tower's huge arms."
A Hall of Souls Venerated Elder looked at Cao Ying's group expressionlessly. Then, he suddenly changed his tone, "With such talent, I really cannot bear to kill you here. Why don't you follow me back to Soul Hall and work for Soul Hall? My Soul Hall's resources far surpass the Pill Tower's. Your future accomplishments will only be greater.
"Even if we die, we will not betray our family or the Pill Tower!"
Bai Ying, Dan Xuan, and the others did not waver when they heard the words of the Hall of Souls Venerated Elder.
"Since this is the case, we can only kill all of you on the spot!" The voice of that Hall of Souls Venerated Elder suddenly sank.
Soon after, one could see him waving his right hand. A cluster of black fog surged out of his palm. It swiftly transformed into a large black palm that tore through space and appeared above Bai Ying, Cao Ying, and the others.
The eyes of Bai Ying, Cao Ying, and the others suddenly shrank when they saw the large palm slamming down.
Just as they were prepared to use all their strength to join hands and block this large black palm, they suddenly discovered that the Dou Qi within their bodies had been suppressed by the surging energy ripple within the black fog. Even moving had become incomparably difficult.
The gap between them and an elite Dou Zun was too great. It was so great that they did not have the ability to resist.
"Dammit!"
A rich dissatisfaction rose in the eyes of Bai Ying, Cao Ying, and the others as they sensed the pressuring aura above them. Most of it was hatred for the Hall of Souls.
