"Fifth elder, what should we do? They're from the Soul Refining Sect!" An early-stage Void Refinement cultivator asked the white-robed cultivator standing at the front with an ugly expression.
Most of the people around them had ugly expressions as well. They were the ones who had discovered the level-two Immortal Ancient Jade first, but when they were about to collect it, the Soul Refining Sect had interfered and wanted to snatch it from them.
If it were any other force, they would probably turn around and leave immediately after seeing the Chen family's symbol. However, their opponent this time was the Soul Refining Sect, a second-class cultivation force that was much stronger than the Chen family. Moreover, the Soul Refining Sect was the most powerful soul refining sect in the entire cultivation world. Once they fought with such a sect, it would be hard to say who would win in the end even if they had the advantage in numbers.
The fifth elder of the Chen family stood at the front of the crowd and silently looked at the shining Immortal Ancient Jade in the distance. If he wanted to, he could reach out and take it. However, the soul pressure around him told him that if he took it, the Soul Refining Sect would probably start a war with them in the Immortal Ancient Crack. He was not only shouldering his own life, but also the interests of the entire Chen family.
"Let's wait and see. Even if we want to retreat, we have to wait until the Soul Refining Sect arrives!" The fifth elder did not speak, but a cultivator beside him spoke up.
Hearing this, everyone could only nod helplessly.
They were actually very conflicted. As a Rank 3 cultivation force, they rarely suffered losses. However, they didn't have much confidence in facing the Soul Refining School this time. They would rather face a Rank 1 cultivation force than become enemies with the Soul Refining School. The Soul Attacks were just too terrifying. Without any soul defense, it would be a one-sided massacre if they encountered this group of people.
Soon, over ten figures appeared on the horizon. They were all clad in black robes and their bodies exuded a strange and cold aura. The moment they appeared, the cultivators from the Chen Family felt an oppressive pressure coming from their souls. Although the cultivators from the Chen Family did not necessarily have a higher cultivation base than the cultivators from the Chen Family, in terms of souls, the cultivators from the Chen Family were definitely inferior to the cultivators from the Chen Family.
"The Chen family of the Great Western Sea Region, right? We want this level-two Immortal Ancient Jade. How about you give it to us? "The leading man said in a hoarse voice.
"Let's see if you have the strength to take this Immortal Ancient Jade from my hands!" The Fifth Elder said in a deep voice.
"Looks like you're prepared to exchange a few blows with us. That's fine too …" The leader nodded. He could tell what the Chen family was thinking. They didn't directly take away the Immortal Ancient Jade, most likely because they were wary of the Soul Refining Sect's strength. However, if they retreated just like this, they would appear to be too lowly. Since that was the case, then they might as well settle it with a duel. That way, both sides wouldn't lose face.
"But before I attack, I need to get rid of the people who are spying on us!" The man from the Soul Refining School slammed his palm down at the forest below.
Weng! The huge palm imprint carried a soul pressure as it pressed down on Hayashikawa and the other two.
"We were discovered!"
Hayashikawa and the other two immediately unleashed their strength and dodged, appearing in mid-air.
"Are they your men?" Gui Shisan, who was standing at the front, asked.
"No!" The Fifth Elder shook his head as he looked at the three figures with strange masks that suddenly appeared. At the same time, he was shocked because he didn't notice that there were people here at all.
"Hehe, you hid well. If it wasn't for the fluctuation of your soul, even I wouldn't have noticed!" Gui Shisan said as he sized up Hayashikawa and the other two under his hood.
"Well … You guys continue … We're just passing by …" Shi Jin, who was wearing a cat mask and a leopard print robe, said.
Although Xiao Heng's expression couldn't be seen under the rabbit mask, he nodded in agreement. He looked very cute.
Only Hayashikawa didn't move or speak.
He had once devoured the three Soul Children of the Soul Refining School, so he knew the Soul Refining School very well. There was no doubt that the strongest disciples of the Soul Refining School were the Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang. However, these four people weren't fixed. There were a hundred candidates in the entire Soul Refining School, and the Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang were the top four.
Whenever one of the Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang died, a new Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang would be born from the people behind them. These people didn't have their own names, but were ranked according to their strength and were collectively known as Gui.
At this moment, among the Soul Refining School disciples standing in front of Hayashikawa, the leader had the number thirteen on his chest. This meant that he was ranked thirteenth among the hundred people, and was called Gui Shisan.
Back in the Floating Spirit Temple, Hayashikawa devoured the three Soul Children of Mei, Wang, and Liang. He killed the number one Soul Children of the Soul Refining School, causing the four Soul Children of the Soul Refining School to fall in the Floating Spirit Region. However, this didn't affect the Soul Refining School too much because they could replace them at any time. Now, the four Soul Children of the Soul Refining School were all new.
However, back then, Hayashikawa sealed the news, so not many people left the Floating Spirit Temple alive. Therefore, the Soul Refining School didn't know what happened in the Floating Spirit Temple. Otherwise, they would've already caused trouble for the Xiao.
However, even if the Soul Refining School didn't cause trouble for Hayashikawa, after coming to the Nakagawa Continent, Hayashikawa would still cause trouble for the Soul Refining School. This was because when he devoured the Mei, Wang, and Liang, he obtained the three chapters of the Soul Refining Art, but only the first chapter, Chi, was missing. Therefore, no matter what, Hayashikawa had to find this generation's Chi and devour it to perfect the Soul Refining Art.
"Passing by? Who are you trying to fool? " A cultivator from the Soul Refining School said coldly. The number thirty-two embroidered on his chest represented his ranking.
"Aren't you all ghosts?" Hayashikawa suddenly said. "We've also taken a liking to this level two Immortal Ancient Jade. You can fight with us first. If you win, then fight with us!"
Hayashikawa was wearing a spiral mask, so no one could see his expression. They could only see the blood-red pupil in his only right eye flickering slightly.
"You don't know what's good for you. I'll kill the three of you first!" Gui Thirty-Two was clearly angered by Hayashikawa's words. He moved his hands to attack, but Gui Thirteen stopped him.
"You don't want to fight with the Chen family?" Gui Thirteen asked.
Hayashikawa looked at the hundred or so people of the Chen family and said softly, "Chen Xiao is my friend. If the Chen family wins your fight, then we'll withdraw!"
"Hehe, interesting …" Gui Thirteen looked at the people of the Chen family.
The fifth elder also looked at Hayashikawa's trio in surprise. He didn't expect them to be related to Chen Xiao.
"Come!" Gui Thirteen's forehead slowly split open, and a black chain emerged. He said to the people of the Chen family.
