Following the shrinking of the black light film within the ancient remains, an increasing number of people began to gather towards the central region.
The faces of the experts who were already at the central region were all filled with shock as they watched the nine corner large formation that was agglomerated from the strength of over a thousand experts from the Gathering Soul Hall.
Even people as strong as Tang Zhen, zun-zun Acheron, Sword Venerable and the others also had grave expressions on their faces.
Screech!
Suddenly, the nine corner formation swayed. A strange screech that seemed to have originated from hell was emitted from the dark black pupils of the formation eye and resounded over the top of the bright red palace.
The sound wave that caused one's scalp to turn numb spread far and wide across the entire ancient remains. The empty space shook until it emitted a shattering sound.
At this moment, the nine corner formation was just like a primitive living creature that had just awoken from its slumber. The screech carried a heart palpitating cruelty and brutality that was filled with endless destruction and massacre. The source of the sound represented the most terrifying calamity in the world.
"Boss Chu, what are they trying to do?" Xiao Yan pointed at the nine corner formation above his head, looked at Chu Bei and inquired.
"Other than collecting souls, do the people from the Hall of Souls have any other hobbies?" The corner of Chu Bei's mouth was lifted into a smile.
Once he said this, Chu Bei continued to lift his eyes to look at the formation lines in the sky whose aura was becoming increasingly frightening.
Compared to the seriousness of Sword Venerable and zun-zun Acheron, Chu Bei appeared incomparably calm.
"Everyone, let's go!"
At this moment, a hoarse voice that was filled with coldness was emitted from old ghost Zhai Xing's mouth.
In the next instant, a beam of black light shot out from the dark black pupils in the middle of the nine corner formation and landed at a spot where the experts were gathered.
Clang clang clang
Hundreds of chains shot out from within the black light.
These chains appeared to have their own consciousness. Each of them pierced towards an expert. Their speed was so fast that it caused one's hair to stand on end.
"Ah —!"
Immediately, a sharp miserable shriek sounded.
The experts that were gathered together did not have the time to dodge before they were pierced by the chains and pierced into their bodies.
The person with the highest strength among these experts had already reached the seventh star of the Dou Zong class. However, he did not have the slightest ability to resist in front of these symbol chains.
"I can't … can't use my power anymore!"
"How could this be?!"
"I feel my life slipping away. No, don't."
…
After being pierced by the rune chains, the group of experts instantly discovered that the power in their bodies had been sealed.
In addition, they also felt their life force being sucked away bit by bit. Their souls seemed to be hooked by an invisible force and were about to leave their bodies.
Looking at the painful expressions on the faces of those who had been pierced by the chains, the other experts became even more terrified.
Chi!
The pitch-black pupil in the center of the nine-cornered formation shot out a beam of black light again, landing in the direction of another group of experts.
A similar scene played out again.
Amidst the panic, hundreds of experts were pierced through by the chains, wailing in agony.
Chi, chi, chi!
After the second black light beam, the third, fourth, and fifth light beams shot out from the pitch-black pupil in the center of the nine-sided formation.
Hundreds of black chains extended out from these beams of light and pierced towards the experts in the air.
In just a few breaths, over a thousand experts had been pierced through by the chains.
"I can't stay here anymore!"
The experts around the crimson palace became more and more terrified, and they all flew back.
"None of you will be able to escape."
Old ghost Zhai Xing swept his gaze across the experts who were fleeing in all directions, his eyes filled with disdain.
As old ghost Zhai Xing's dense and cold voice sounded, a couple of black light beams once again shot out from the dark black pupils that hung high in the sky. Their speed was so quick that they arrived in the vicinity of those escaping experts in an instant.
Even though they were thousands of meters away, these experts still couldn't escape the fate of being pierced through by the chains.
"Old ghost Zhai Xing, is your Hall of Souls going to become enemies with all the forces in the Central Region?!"
Tang Zhen, Lei The Venerable, Honorable Acheron and the others exchanged glances. After communicating with their eyes, they made a unanimous decision.
They would deal with Old ghost Zhai Xing first, before snatching the skeleton.
Tang Zhen and the others looked at Old ghost Zhai Xing at the same time, their eyes cold.
Chi!
Another black light beam shot out from the nine-cornered formation and landed in the surroundings of Tang Zhen and the others.
However, the might of the chains within the black light beam was clearly a little lacking in front of Tang Zhen and the others.
Many chains pierced through the void with a frightening momentum. However, they were unable to even pierce through the Dou Qi armours of Tang Zhen and the others.
"Tsk tsk, all of you are no match for me."
Old ghost Zhai Xing's gaze swept across Tang Zhen and the others. After his cold laughter sounded, he turned his head to look at a direction. His expression suddenly became incomparably respectful, "Sir Saint, it is your turn to attack."
Hearing the words from Old ghost Zhai Xing's mouth and observing the other party's actions, the expressions of Tang Zhen and the others suddenly changed.
Subsequently, all of their gazes involuntarily looked towards the direction that Old ghost Zhai Xing was facing.
After Old ghost Zhai Xing's words sounded, a ripple appeared in the void in front of him. A figure slowly walked out from the ripple.
This was an old man with a stooped figure. His hand held a skeleton walking stick. His sunken eyes flickered with two clusters of faint green light, giving one a kind of sinister and strange feeling.
The entire empty space seemed to have descended into silence the moment he appeared.
However, this deathly silence had only lasted for a couple of seconds when a wave of terrifying suffocating energy ripple was emitted from the body of the stooped old man.
Compared to the Ancient Heaven Phoenix soul fragment and the Dou Sheng skeleton, the pressure that the stooped old man carried was even more substantial. It caused one to have the impulse to kneel and kowtow.
"Dou … elite Dou Sheng!"
Sensing this aura fluctuation that was far above them, Tang Zhen, Lei The Venerable and the others involuntarily took two steps back. Their eyes were filled with caution.
Unlike the soul fragment and skeleton, this stooped old man in front of them was a living elite Dou Sheng!
"Zhai Xing, you have done very well this time around. You did not disappoint me." Saint Gu You glanced indifferently at old ghost Zhai Xing. He nodded slightly and his words carried some praise.
Old ghost Zhai Xing revealed a joyous face. After which, he pointed towards Tang Zhen and the others and said, "However, these fellows are still a little troublesome to me. I can only hope that you will intervene."
"Aye."
Saint Gu You softly replied.
After which, he looked at Tang Zhen, Acheron and the others with an expressionless face. He raised his right hand and gently slammed it downwards.
However, it was this seemingly inconspicuous palm that caused the empty space to collapse. A thousand feet large energy palm swept out.
Sensing the frightening aura within the energy palm, Tang Zhen, Acheron, Sword Venerable and the rest of the Dou Zuns, who had fought for the Dou Sheng skeleton earlier, attacked at the same time. They did not hold back and directly used their strongest killing moves.
Bang!
The couple of attacks that Tang Zhen and the others had unleashed collided with the energy palm.
An apocalyptic aftershock exploded and spread above the bright red hall.
Saint Gu You did not move even a little during the collision. However, Tang Zhen, Lei The Venerable and the others emitted a muffled groan. Other than their faces becoming pale, their bodies also staggered back by a couple of metres.
"How powerful!"
"Is this a Dou Sheng?"
"Fighting against dozens of Dou Zuns by himself and still having the upper hand."
… …
The experts around the bright red hall who had witnessed this scene revealed shocked faces.
"Too weak."
Saint Gu You looked at Tang Zhen and the others with disdain and shook his head.
Hearing Saint Gu You's words, the expressions of Tang Zhen and the others became increasingly ugly.
In just one exchange, they had personally experienced the gap between a Dou Zun and a Dou Sheng.
Although it appeared that there was only a gap of one level, there was an insurmountable gap.
"Sir Saint, I am a member of the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe. I have no intention of becoming enemies with the Hall of Souls. I even have the intention of befriending the Hall of Souls. May I know if sir will allow us to leave?"
"Sir Saint, we are from the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe. We have also heard of the Hall of Souls and have the intention of befriending it."
At this moment, the Dou Zuns from the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe and the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe bowed to Saint Gu You.
"No one in the remains will be able to leave. All of you are no exception." Saint Gu You glanced at the experts from the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe and the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe. His indifferent voice did not contain the slightest emotion.
The experts from the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe frowned when they heard this, "Are you not afraid that my tribe will take revenge?"
"Why? Are you threatening the old me? " Saint Gu You's green eyes stared at the expert from the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe. His hoarse voice was filled with a sharp murderous intent.
The skeleton walking stick in Saint Gu You's hand shook after his voice sounded.
In an instant, rolling black fog surged out and swiftly spread across half the sky.
Under Saint Gu You's control, the black fog swiftly agglomerated into a ten thousand feet large black skeleton.
The black skeleton stood in the sky. A red glow landed on the expert from the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe and threw a punch forward.
At the same time, a dark and cold pressure swept out from within the skeleton's body.
At this moment, even the souls of people as strong as Tang Zhen, Zun-Zun Acheron, and the others felt as though their souls were in a cold pool.
Bang!
The Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe elite Dou Zun did not have the strength to resist the punch from the black skeleton. The scales on his body instantly shattered. He reverted to his original body and was violently smashed into the ground.
There was an additional fear in the eyes of Tang Zhen's group when they saw the black skeleton that Saint Gu You had summoned.
"Ah ~ ~ ~"
While the attention of the experts present was focused on Saint Gu You, the first batch of one hundred experts that were pierced by the chains began to struggle wildly. The miserable cries from their mouths caused one's heart to tremble.
In just a few seconds, the hundred powerhouses stopped moving and lost consciousness.
Under the gaze of the others, they saw the chains slowly dragging the souls of the hundred experts out of their bodies.
After the first batch, the second batch, the third batch, the fourth batch …
The scene descended into chaos as more and more experts were pierced by the chains and lost consciousness and their souls were being pulled out.
However, as the black light film continued to shrink, the area that they could move in became smaller and smaller. The pitch-black pupils in the nine-sided formation in the sky continued to shoot out black light beams.
"Don't tell me that we're going to die here today?"
"Those damn fellows from the Hall of Souls! Even if we turn into ghosts, we won't let them off! "
"We really shouldn't have come to the ancient remains this time. Who would have thought that we would die in the hands of the Hall of Souls instead of dying in the ancient remains? "
…
The group of experts looked at the approaching black light film while guarding against the chains that could pierce them at any time. Their faces were filled with unwillingness.
Chi!
A black light beam landed behind Qing Lin.
Several chains extended from the light beam and pierced toward the Little Doctor, Qing Lin, Xiao Yan, and the others.
Chu Bei made his move. Five-colored flames burned fiercely and instantly burned the chains into nothingness.
[The All-Heavens Marketplace will be opened tomorrow.]
[The system will provide the goods.]
[The sale will last for one day.]
[The host has obtained one-twentieth of the willpower.]
After destroying several more chains, Chu Bei was stunned by the system's voice that suddenly rang in his sea of consciousness.
After reading the introduction of the All-Heavens Marketplace, the corners of Chu Bei's mouth curled up.
At this moment, above the crimson palace, Saint Gu You controlled the black skeleton to attack Tang Zhen, Sword Venerable, Venerable Acheron, and the others.
Bang bang bang!
Even though Tang Zhen and several other Dou Zuns joined forces, they were still no match for the black skeleton.
After a few exchanges, the auras of Tang Zhen and the others became chaotic. They were either lightly or heavily injured.
"All of you, stand down."
Seeing that Tang Zhen and the others were about to attack again, Chu Bei slowly rose into the sky. His calm voice drifted through the air.
"Boss Chu!"
Seeing that Chu Bei had arrived at the battlefield, Tang Zhen, Sword Venerable, and Venerable Acheron were overjoyed. At the same time, there was some worry in their eyes.
After all, they were facing the Second Tianzun of the Hall of Souls, a true elite Dou Sheng!
In their eyes, although Chu Bei was strong, they were not sure if Chu Bei had entered the Dou Sheng realm. If the other party was only a peak Dou Zun, it would not change their current situation.
When the experts of the Heaven Demon Phoenix tribe saw Chu Bei, especially the heavily injured beautiful woman, their breathing became hurried. Their eyes were still filled with anger.
"Look! It's Boss Chu! "
"He is also about to attack!"
"I wonder if he can defeat that fellow from the Hall of Souls!"
"We don't know his background. Hopefully, he will be able to fight that Dou Sheng from the Hall of Souls."
…
After recognizing Chu Bei, a hopeful expression surfaced in the eyes of the experts who had yet to be pierced by the chains. It was as though they had found a life-saving straw.
"Yao Lao, do you think that Boss Chu will be a match for him?" Venerable Feng Feng narrowed his eyes and pointed at Saint Gu You in the sky.
Through the previous battle, he had witnessed the strength of Saint Gu You. He had defeated dozens of Dou Zuns by himself.
"Relax. Since Boss Chu has chosen to attack, he naturally has the confidence to defeat him." Yao Chen's eyes were filled with confidence.
Qing Lin and Little Doctor looked at each other and clenched their fists. They seemed to be cheering for Chu Bei.
"You are that mysterious merchant who destroyed Mu Gu's plan to hunt the Three Thousand Burning Flame in the Pill Tower Star Region?"
Old ghost Zhai Xing's eyes stared intently at Chu Bei when he heard the way the people around addressed Chu Bei. He frowned.
"That's me." Chu Bei nodded and replied.
"The person who destroyed the Soul Sect was also you?" Old ghost Zhai Xing inquired.
"It was also me." Chu Bei's voice was calm.
Old ghost Zhai Xing seemed to have thought of something and said, "The Earth Fiend Branch Hall in the Burial Bone Mountain Range was destroyed?"
"It was still me." Chu Bei shrugged his shoulders.
"So the rumours were not wrong. All of this was because of you!"
Old ghost Zhai Xing involuntarily clenched his fists in the face of Chu Bei's three consecutive replies. Black Qi surged behind him.
"Zhai Xing, what are you talking to him about?" Saint Gu You looked at old ghost Zhai Xing. His eyes were filled with confusion.
He had just exited his retreat not long ago. Hence, he did not know what had happened in the Hall of Souls recently.
