"That is … a soul oracle?"
"Soul oracles … Didn't they go extinct several dozen millenniums ago? Why would they still exist? "
"That soul oracle said that he would deal with Teacher and Junior … Could it be that he's Zhang Xuan's student as well?"
"Not only did he teach a poison master, he even has a soul oracle?"
Everyone's face warped in astonishment. The Nine Stars master teachers, who could remain calm even if the heavens were to collapse, looked as if they had seen a ghost.
It was one thing for Zhang Xuan to teach the head of the Poison Temple the Innate Poison Body, but to think that such a powerful soul oracle would actually claim to be his student … Was this for real?
Even though the heritage of the soul oracles had been severed for several dozen millenniums, to be able to grab the Pavilion Master Seal and force Ren Qingyuan into a corner … the crowd was still able to discern the strength of the soul oracle.
To have a student who was even stronger than them … More importantly, there were two of them at the same time!
"Let go of me!"
Not expecting a soul oracle to appear out of nowhere and snatch the Pavilion Master Seal from him, Ren Qingyuan's face warped in horror, and he hurriedly grabbed the soul oracle.
The Pavilion Master Seal represented the authority and standing of the Mingshi Tang Empire, and it couldn't be lost!
Si la!
Space was torn apart, and the surroundings warped.
As the deputy hall master, Ren Qingyuan's strength was significantly higher than Zhang Wuheng's. Exerting his full strength, the crowd felt as if all light and sound had been stripped away, leaving only darkness before them. It felt as if the heavens and earth had been torn apart in an instant.
Of course, it wasn't truly a tear in the heavens and earth, but an illusion. This move was already powerful enough to affect one's Primordial Spirit and soul, making it impossible for one to discern reality from illusion.
"You are indeed powerful, but you are still lacking if you wish to capture me …"
The soul oracle chuckled softly as his figure began to fade away. In the blink of an eye, he had already vanished from sight, as if he had never appeared before.
"It's the long-lost [Soul Traverse]!" Luo Qingchen narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
"Soul Traverse?" Zhang Wuheng was perplexed.
"Souls are formless and immaterial. As long as one's will is sufficient, they are able to tear apart the shackles of space and traverse through space. Even though it can't teleport over long distances like a Teleportation Formation, it's still a huge advantage over others!"
Luo Qingchen explained.
Thanks to his bloodline, his control over space was much stronger than everyone present, so he was very clear about the difficulty of this kind of teleportation.
In order to traverse through space with one's physical body, one would have to withstand all kinds of spatial storms. On the other hand, it would be much easier for one's soul oracle to break through the limitations of space. As powerful as Ren Qingyuan was, it wouldn't be that easy for him to capture Zhang Xuan.
Whoosh!
But before he could finish his words, his vanished soul had already appeared before a Nine Stars master teacher.
Rumble!
As soon as it appeared, a surge of unique energy gushed forth, heading straight for the Nine Stars Master Teacher.
Bang!
Before the master teacher could react, he was already struck and sent flying, crashing through countless buildings.
Fortunately, before Ren Qingyuan and the others came, they knew that it would cause a great commotion, so they asked the local Mingshi Tang to evacuate the ordinary people. Otherwise, who knew how many innocent lives would have been lost in this collision.
"You … transferred my power away …"
Ren Qingyuan hurriedly halted his attack as fury blazed in his eyes.
With his eye of discernment, he could easily tell that the other party had transferred a portion of his power away when he used Soul Traversal, thus severely injuring his companion.
"Indeed. Come, continue your attack. I can see that there are still plenty of Nine Stars master teachers left.
You can take them all down, "the soul oracle said with a faint smile.
"You …"
Geji! Geji! Geji! Ren Qingyuan felt as if he would explode on the spot.
If the other party was able to traverse through space, his attack would be rendered useless. If he were to divert his attack to another master teacher, wouldn't that be equivalent to injuring one of his own?
"Soul oracles who are capable of Soul Traversal are at least Nine Stars. Isn't the heritage of the soul oracles extinct? Who in the world are you? Where did you come from? "
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Zhang Xuan bellowed.
Possessing such strength was definitely not something that one could achieve overnight. Why hadn't he heard of any news regarding the Mingshi Tang?
"The soul oracles were destroyed by the Mingshi Tang, but their heritage hasn't been completely severed yet … Alright, are you still going to attack? If not, I'm going to rest …"
The soul oracle looked at Zhang Xuan mockingly.
"Hand over the Pavilion Master Seal, or else the Mingshi Tang will be able to destroy you a second time!"
Ren Qingyuan bellowed as he stomped his foot on the ground.
Si la!
The surrounding space seemed to have been frozen, making it impossible for the soul oracle to tear it apart.
Battle technique, Frozen Space!
It was a technique that could seal the ripples in space, rendering even Teleportation Formations ineffective.
While he had intentionally used this as an excuse to ask Zhang Xuan, in truth, he had been accumulating his strength to execute this move.
"Let's see how you're going to escape then!"
After freezing the space around him, Ren Qingyuan heaved a sigh of relief. Flicking his wrist, a sword appeared in his hand, and he pierced it toward the soul oracle.
The sword harnessed intense killing intent, and even before it reached the soul oracle, it seemed to have materialized. Even the soul oracle wouldn't be able to escape from it.
Knowing that he wouldn't be able to dodge the sword, the soul oracle didn't panic. Instead, he chuckled softly, and his massive body abruptly shrunk to the size of the Pavilion Master Seal, hiding behind it.
Weng!
Not expecting the soul oracle to be able to shrink, Ren Qingyuan knew that the soul oracle would be able to pierce through the Pavilion Master Seal. Thus, he hurriedly raised his sword and retracted his strength.
As he had retracted his zhenqi too quickly, he felt a stinging pain in his chest. Unable to hold it in any longer, he spurted a mouthful of blood.
"Haha, you can continue your attack. In any case, with the Pavilion Master Seal here, you won't be able to kill me!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had retracted his strength, the soul oracle chuckled softly before reverting back to his original form.
"You …"
Ren Qingyuan narrowed his eyes in fury. His chest was heaving up and down furiously, and he felt as if he would explode at any moment.
A poison master who hadn't dared to show himself for the past ten thousand years, an occupation that had disappeared ages ago … To think that he would be so furious that he couldn't vent his anger at all. If someone had said those words to him in the past, he wouldn't have believed it at all.
"The Pavilion Master Seal contains the wills of the previous Pavilion Masters. Even though you managed to snatch it away with your soul, you'll never be able to control it. On top of that, you'll have to guard against the backlash from the Pavilion Master Seal!"
Taking in a deep breath, Ren Qingyuan suppressed the rage in his heart before looking at the soul oracle once more. "If I'm not mistaken, even though you're holding onto the Pavilion Master Seal, your soul feels as if it's burning hot!"
The Pavilion Master Seal represented the dignity of the Mingshi Tang. If anyone could snatch it away, there would be no meaning to it at all.
It might seem like the other party had taken away the Pavilion Master Seal, but in truth, the soul oracle was still under the attack of the wills of the previous Pavilion Master Seal.
"This thing is indeed a little troublesome …"
The soul oracle chuckled softly. "However, I can't return it to you yet!"
After saying those words, Zhang Xuan turned his attention away from the other party and landed on the ground.
"Disciple Lu Chong … has returned!"
