"The situation is not right. Withdraw first!"
The gazes of countless experts within the mountain range were thrown towards the spiritual bodies that were tied to the metal chain net. Fear began to surface in their eyes.
A moment later, a couple of long rays of light shot past each mountain. However, when they were less than ten metres from the metal chain net, a frightening black glow suddenly erupted from the metal chain net. The frightening energy shook them until they flew backwards.
Even elite Dou Zuns only discovered that the space of this mountain range had been sealed by the energy of the metal chain net after attempting to use a short distance spatial displacement.
"Why is it like this! The last time we were in the ancient remains, we managed to escape with great difficulty. Now, we are once again in such a dangerous situation. "
"Dammit, the more one fears death, the easier it is to be placed in a dangerous situation. If we had known earlier, we would have learned from the Burning Flame Valley and followed behind Boss Chu. "
"We should not have come to join in the fun. Now, we might even lose our lives here."
"Don't worry. As long as Boss Chu arrives, we will still have a chance to escape."
"I am only afraid that the 'Hall of Souls' will strip our spiritual bodies before Boss Chu arrives."
… …
On the various large mountains, it was not only the experts from the ordinary factions who had become panicked. The Ice River Valley, the Flower Sect, the Profound Sky Sect, the Wind Thunder Pavilion, and the other top factions within the Central Plains, clearly revealed a terrified expression on their faces.
"Deputy Hall Chief, I am curious about something. Why is your 'Hall of Souls' gathering so many powerful spiritual bodies?"
The chief of the Flower Sect looked at the hunchbacked old man. When this question was asked, Lei The Venerable, the Valley Chief of the Ice River Valley, and everyone else present looked at the hunchbacked old man. Their eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Forget it. In any case, all of you are about to die. Since this is the case, there is no harm in telling all of you. "
The hunchbacked old man's eyes glanced indifferently at the chief of the Flower Sect, Lei The Venerable, and the others. He said, "All of this is for the legendary realm!"
"The legendary realm? Don't tell me that it refers to the Dou Di class! "Everyone present revealed stunned faces when they heard this.
"However, all of you will not be able to wait until the time when my clan's Dou Di appears."
The hunchbacked old man spoke again and said, "But you don't have to be afraid now. Before I strip your souls, I'll let you see with your own eyes how Boss Chu dies at my hands."
At the same time, not far from the mountain range.
Chu Bei and the army behind him stopped in the void.
"Boss Chu, Soul Palace seems to have made a move." Venerable Wind pointed at the chain formation that covered the entire mountain range and furrowed his brows.
"Those fellows probably never thought that not only did their wishful thinking fail, but they even put themselves in a dangerous situation." Tang Zhen let out a cold laugh.
"Boss, are we going to break the formation now?" Zi Yan looked at Chu Bei and asked.
"There's no rush."
Chu Bei's lips curled into a smile. "Let's wait and see first."
The reason he wanted to flatten Soul Palace wasn't to benefit Central State, but to open the prestige gift bag. Since it was Reputation Points, it would be best for him to appear when everyone needed him the most.
"Wait and see?"
Confusion appeared on the faces of Zi Yan, Xuan Kong Zi, Xiao Yan and the others when they heard Chu Bei's reply.
However, seeing that the other party had no intention of breaking the formation, they could only quietly watch together.
With the passage of time, an hour quietly passed.
At this moment, the experts from the various large factions in the mountain range were incomparably anxious. The Soul Palace Honorable Elders in front of the hall also showed some irritation on their faces as they frowned.
"Is that fellow who threatened to destroy my Soul Palace coming or not? Could it be that the Ancient Void Dragon clan is tricking us? "Black Qi surged out from the body of a Soul Palace Honorable Elder as killing intent faintly spread.
"The Ancient Void Dragon is the overlord of the beast race. They won't do such a meaningless thing. Don't be anxious, wait a little longer." The hunchbacked old man sat on a chair and spoke with half-closed eyes.
Time flowed like water, and another two hours passed.
"It's been almost four hours. Why hasn't Boss Chu appeared yet? Could it be that he is afraid of the Hall Master of Soul Palace and changed his mind at the last moment? "
"Do you guys think that this is a trap? Now that I think about it, the Ancient Void Dragon is a beast race. They have never interacted with humans. Why would they move out on such a large scale for this information? "
"Could it be that they are aware of the recent actions of the Soul Palace and have gathered information regarding Boss Chu? Thus, they purposely spread the news in the name of Boss Chu to trick us into coming here so that the Soul Palace can kill us?"
"From what you have said, it seems that this is possible! In this way, they can use the Soul Palace to wantonly weaken the strength of our human race! "
"If this is really the case, I will not let those despicable evil dragons off even if I become a ghost!"
… …
More and more experts began to become restless, especially when they looked at the chain formation above. The fear on their faces became even greater.
"Vice hall master, should we continue to wait?" An Honorable Elder respectfully asked the hunchbacked old man.
"Forget it. Since they don't dare to come, let's get rid of these fellows first!"
The hunchbacked old man opened his eyes and glanced at Lei The Venerable, Sword Venerable, and the others again, "They have helped us greatly. Otherwise, it would have taken us some effort to obtain so many excellent souls."
After speaking, the hunchbacked old man stretched his body. Clearly, he had waited for too long and could not sit still.
"Attack!"
When the hunchbacked old man's cold voice sounded, all of the Soul Palace's upper echelons on the chairs, including him, shot into the sky at the same time.
In the next moment, these figures intersected with each other until they each took a position. Large amounts of black gas began to surge out of their bodies.
Clang clang-
Amidst the frightening sound of metal rubbing against each other, a pitch-black chain appeared behind these figures at the same time and connected to the huge chain net above.
Soon, the chain net that enveloped the entire mountain range began to tremble and sway. In an instant, a series of ear-piercing screeches spread out.
Following which, this enormous chain net appeared to have become a living thing in front of a countless number of horrified gazes. It multiplied endlessly. The number grew from ten to a hundred, then from a hundred to a thousand, and finally to tens of thousands.
An uncountable number of dark-black chains fell from the sky and covered every corner of the mountain range. The continuous sound of intertwining collisions was like a group of demons dancing wildly, causing one's heart to palpitate.
Seeing this scene, even people as strong as Lei The Venerable, Sword Venerable, and the Valley Chief of the Ice River Valley became extremely uneasy. Their frowns became increasingly deep.
They had experienced the Hall of Souls' formation once when they were in the ancient remains. However, the formation back then did not have any effect on them, elite Dou Zuns.
However, this large chain formation, which was formed by three Dou Shengs and dozens of elite Dou Zuns, caused them to feel a sense of danger.
"No … don't!"
The first chain that fell swiftly wrapped around the head of a seven star Dou Zong amidst the terrified cries.
Within a couple of breaths, it had successfully hooked his soul out. After which, his soul was tied to the chain net above, just like the Nine Star Dou Zong from earlier.
Ah —
Before everyone could recover from their shock, another miserable cry was emitted.
Following which, a third cry, a fourth cry … until various miserable cries spread through the air.
Experts with the cultivation of the Dou Zun class could still entangle with the Soul Hooking Chains for a while under the precondition that they were prepared.
As for those experts below the Dou Zun class, even Nine Star Dou Zongs did not have any ability to resist in front of the Soul Hooking Chains.
"If this continues, our strength will sooner or later be exhausted!"
"That's right. Even if we die, we must drag them down with us!"
The experts above the Dou Zun class in the inner area of the mountain range swiftly communicated with their eyes.
After which, with Lei The Venerable, Sword Venerable, and the others in the lead, they pounced toward the Hall of Souls' Honorable Elders in the sky.
"A pointless struggle."
The hunchbacked old man glanced at Lei The Venerable's group with disdain. After which, he turned his head to look at the couple of Honorable Elders beside him. His eyes indicated for them to intercept and kill Lei The Venerable's group.
They continued to control the Thousand Elephant Soul Locking Formation.
"Nine sections of the Soul Chain!"
After receiving the hunchbacked old man's order, a portion of the Honorable Elders immediately went to meet Lei The Venerable, the Valley Chief of the Ice River Valley, and the others.
Rumble — —
A huge battlefield appeared in the distant sky amidst a series of collisions and explosions.
However, due to the support of the Thousand Elephant Soul Locking Formation, the Hall of Souls' Honorable Elders clearly possessed an overwhelming advantage in a battle of the same level. The many deep colored chains in their hands had become powerful killing weapons.
Lei The Venerable, the Valley Chief of the Ice River Valley, the Flower Sect Chief, and the others were forced to retreat. The battle situation was becoming increasingly dangerous.
"Don't tell me that we are really going to die here today?"
"How hateful! To think that I've calculated everything, but in the end, I've fallen for this little trick that I thought I had. "
"This is ultimately a world where the strong prey on the weak. I, the leader of a faction, have actually ended up in such a miserable state."
"What ridicule. Who would have expected that our final destination would be to become someone else's stepping stone to the Dou Di class!"
"If we had headed to Tianhuang City first, we would not have ended up in this situation!"
… …
Within the mountain range, the experts from the various factions dodged the Soul Attracting Chains while uttering regretful words.
"Your Hall of Souls' actions have become enemies with all the factions in the Central Plains. There will come a day when you will disappear from the continent!"
Lei The Venerable's expression was gloomy to the extreme as he watched an increasing number of Wind Thunder Pavilion's Elders having their souls extracted.
"Before that day arrives, our Hall of Souls will have already ruled the entire continent!" A Hall of Souls' Honorable Elder let out a cold laugh.
Gradually, the miserable cries and terrified screams on the battlefield began to calm down. The number of souls on the chain net in the sky increased. Each of them were like newborn silkworms.
"Reel in the net!"
The crooked old man lifted the corner of his mouth and revealed a sinister smile as he watched the remaining Dou Zuns struggling below.
His cry had just sounded when all the experts controlling the large formation, including him, pressed their hands down at the same time.
Immediately, one could see the large chain formation that covered the entire mountain range begin to sway and shake. It emitted a strange buzzing sound.
Almost at the same time, the many silkworm like souls began to struggle and twist in pain. It was as though they were suffering from unbearable torture.
However, just as the tens of thousands of souls were about to be swallowed by the large formation, a wave of high temperature suddenly attacked.
