"Bang!"
The instant the dark, cold voice of unknown origin was once again emitted, the entire hall was immediately filled with four incomparably frightening pressures. Turbulent Dou Qi waves swept repeatedly within the hall, causing the entire hall to emit waves of trembling sounds.
"What did you say!"
Four shocked cries sounded at the same time. The entire hall shook unceasingly. A thunder-like buzzing sound resounded throughout the hall, shaking one's soul.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk … looks like the few of you have not forgotten about that thing … Sky Extinction Steps, the skill that Tian Jue Shangren became famous for. It is one of the keys to opening the Tian Jue Ancient Tomb. Only by doing so will you have the opportunity to obtain Tian Jue Shangren's inheritance …"
A dark cold laughter was faintly emitted. The person who spoke did not reveal much fear in the face of these four renowned Ultimate Zun experts. On the contrary, the four people present were even more afraid of him.
"Do you know where that clan is now?"
One of the four people asked with a somewhat doubtful tone.
The four factions had searched for that clan for an unknown number of years. Until now, there was still no news. They did not believe that this ghost thing that hid in a dark corner and did not dare to show itself could be found.
"Haha, I don't know."
These simple words caused the old man who was addressed as Sect Leader Wu to immediately become furious. An invisible force crazily erupted and the stone chair under him was immediately crushed into a pile of rocks.
"Humph! Ghost thing, you are playing with the four of us! "
With a stern cry, the old man's palm violently smashed into the empty space beside him. Immediately, a circular invisible spatial ripple swiftly spread apart. It carried a frightening might that could crush everything as it swept in all directions.
The spatial ripple automatically scattered when it reached the other three people. At the same time, a mysterious aura was finally emitted from a certain spot in the darkness.
"Humph! Get out here for me! "
The moment the aura was emitted, the old man's hand was suddenly extended. His five fingers were spread open and a suction force surged out from his palm. Immediately, the space where the aura was emitted from was forcefully torn apart by this crazy suction force.
At the same time, a black figure swiftly flashed through the empty space. A dark cold laughter was once again emitted.
"Kekekeke … Sect Head Wu's temper is really fiery. Although I don't know where that clan is now, but regarding the Sky Extinction Step … Kekekeke …"
Once these words were spoken, the eyes of the four old men hardened. They exchanged glances with each other. That Leader Wu also slowly withdrew the Dou Qi that he had released. He withdrew his aura and did not say anything else.
At this moment, another old man slowly spoke. His tone and attitude were much better than the previous two.
"Haha, Palace Master, since you have already said so much, this old man thinks that there is no need for you to continue beating around the bush. We usually mind our own business. Now that you have gathered us here, it can't be just to say these words to us, right?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk … Sword Sovereign is indeed the one who knows how to conduct himself. Compared to Sovereign Wu …"
"Enough, there's no need to say any more superfluous words. You bunch of things that are neither human nor ghost. You've never suffered a loss when doing things. Speak, tell us the specific location of the Heaven Extinguishing Steps. What are the conditions?"
That ghost like human figure had yet to finish speaking when the second old man who had spoken earlier spoke once again and interrupted the words in his mouth.
The four old men clearly knew this person who called himself the Hall Master. Hence, they spoke with the intention of making a deal.
"Kekekeke …"
The ghost like strange laughter once again sounded. A cluster of black fog instantly flew past the only space in front of the four of them that had light. The four of them remained indifferent on the surface, but their hearts were secretly awed.
"Since the few sect heads are in a hurry, this Palace Master shall not say any more nonsense. The few of you only need to be clear that the Heaven Extinguishing Steps is in the hands of a little fellow called Xiao Yan. He has changed his name to Yan Xiao. Currently, he is at a place that one must pass when traveling to the Western Region, the Savage Ancient City. There is no need for this Palace Master to say anything more about who is guarding that place!"
"Humph! Since you know who is there, why is there a need to say any more nonsense to us? He is in the Savage Ancient City. Forget about us, even your Ghost Hall would not dare to do anything to him! "
The four of them had just heard Xiao Yan's name and quietly remembered it in their hearts. However, the black shadow's following words caused the expressions of the four of them to immediately change. They did not expect that Xiao Yan was coincidentally in the Savage Ancient City.
Although they were in the Western Region, the might of the Yunyin Pavilion still caused them to be extremely fearful. That kind of faction might be like the Ghost Hall behind the black shadow in front of them, which did not reveal itself, but as long as one knew about it, regardless of one's strength, one would understand that its terror was unimaginable!
Hence, they would try their best to avoid a huge being like the Yunyin Pavilion. They naturally did not dare to easily attack Xiao Yan within the territory of the Yunyin Pavilion.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk … I already said that Sect Leader Wu has a fiery temper. Why are you angry again? According to my information, ever since that kid appeared in the Southern Region, he has been heading towards the Savage Ancient City. It is extremely likely that he is preparing to come to the Western Region. I believe that he will arrive in the Western Region soon. At that time, all you need to do is to wait for him … "
In the face of Sect Leader Wu's angry shout, the black shadow laughed mockingly. Following which, he revealed the information that he knew. Only at this moment did the four people in front of him relax. They continuously muttered Xiao Yan's name in their hearts.
"Xiao Yan … Yan Xiao … Xiao Yan … Yan Xiao!"
"You have handed him over to us to deal with. I wonder how much difference is his strength compared to ours?"
Suddenly, the Sword Sovereign narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth to ask an extremely important question.
If the Xiao Yan that they were about to face had a similar strength as them, then even if they had four Sovereign Stage experts, it would still be difficult to kill him. Hence, they had no choice but to first understand the other party's strength.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy would one be able to win a hundred battles!
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, don't worry. That kid's strength has only broken through to the Three Star Half Martial Emperor level half a year ago. With your strength, how could you possibly fear him?"
Hearing the Sword Sovereign's words, the black shadow was not surprised. Instead, he sneered.
Once those words were spoken, the four people immediately frowned. A mere Three Star Half Martial Emperor actually wanted them to take action. Wasn't this like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Wasn't this thinking too highly of that kid by the name of Xiao Yan?!
There was definitely a reason behind this abnormality!
The four people thought of this at the same time. When faced with this ghost like fellow, they had no choice but to be extremely careful.
"Since that Xiao Yan is merely a Three Star Half Martial Emperor, why don't you all take action yourselves? With his strength, he is at the bottom among all of you."
At this moment, the third old man who spoke spoke faintly. Following his words, the surrounding space started to ripple like a screen of water.
"Tsk tsk … Master Chen also knows that when we do many things, it is inconvenient for our whereabouts to be exposed. Without the permission of our superiors, we are not allowed to arbitrarily kill people in the city. After all, although our Ghost Palace is powerful, there are also many people who have their eyes on us …"
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone."
The old man who was addressed as Master Chen spoke in a deep voice.
"You can say that. However, I believe that this is merely a business between you all and me. Since you all are businessmen, there is no need to ask too clearly about some things. Once the water is clear … there will be no fish!"
The four people narrowed their eyes and muttered to themselves for a moment. However, they no longer said anything.
… …
Within the black fog, a pair of sinister eyes flickering with a strange light swept across the four people present. After a long time, the black shadow once again laughed sinisterly and said,
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk … let's not waste words. At that time, if we are to meet him, there is no need for the four of you to be lenient. As long as you are able to keep him alive and ensure that he does not die, the Heaven End Steps will be yours to take away …"
The strange atmosphere was once again broken. Following that, the four people let out a sigh of relief in their hearts.
This time around, that Sect Master Wu's eyes turned. An extremely ruthless and cruel smile appeared on the corners of his mouth as he said,
"Hahahaha, I truly don't understand. A brat at that level is actually able to provoke all of you. He will truly not be able to escape this calamity!"
After those words left his mouth, a wave of extremely cooperative laughter finally sounded from within the hall.
