338: Chapter 338 Soul Annihilation: The Slap in the Face Came Too Fast, Like a Tornado

Yao Chen, the Pavilion Master of Starfall Pavilion, finally appeared, and with the high-profile stance of a One-Star Dou Sheng, the news immediately spread throughout the entire Central Plains.

Yao Chen forced back a Dou Sheng powerhouse from the Hall of Souls and also declared that he would soon open his furnace to refine a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, attracting countless attention for a time.

Some of Yao Chen's former friends, or those who had received favors from him and admired him, all set off for Starfall Pavilion, preparing to accept the invitation to join from Wind Venerable.

The focus of discussion among powerhouses at the Semi-Sheng level and above, however, remained on the Hall Master of Xuanwu Hall, simply because Yao Chen did not hide the details of his resurrection and Breakthrough to Dou Sheng; it could be said that it was entirely by relying on Gu Han that he had his achievements today.

Yao Chen also revealed the truth about his disappearance for many years and publicly declared war on the Hall of Souls, stating that it would be a fight to the death.

This made the various Emperor Clans and cultivators who had reached the Semi-Sheng level even more interested in Gu Han.

However, this Hall Master of Xuanwu Hall seemed to have vanished into thin air, and no one could find his tracks.

Occasionally, there were clues, but it was only when he suddenly appeared to meet some people and say some things.

"A bunch of idiots!"

Upon receiving the news transmitted by his subordinates, Soul Mie Sheng let out a cold snort, causing the Souls of all the Hall of Souls powerhouses present to tremble.

"What Young Master Tianji? Why haven't I seen any prominent performance from him before?"

"The so-called deducing of heavenly secrets is nothing more than having enough information, being good at analysis and maneuvering, and doing it casually."

"The Nine Serene Earth Python Clan is numerous, and ninety percent of the Serpentine magical beasts on the Fighting Qi Continent are loyal to it. The entire continent is filled with their eyes and ears; this is the source of Gu Han's information, so it is no wonder he seems to know everything."

"If he could truly see through heavenly secrets and know the future and all the secrets on the continent, then he should know about the plans of my Hall of Souls."

"Now that the Hall of Souls and Xuanwu Hall have completely torn off all pretense, it is a life-or-death relationship."

"If he knew about the Hall of Souls' plan, why didn't he spread it publicly?"

Soul Mie Sheng completely disbelieved the claim that Gu Han knew everything and could deduce heavenly secrets.

The reason was simple; the two most important things the Hall of Souls was doing now were, first, collecting Souls to help Void Swallowing Flame break through to an Emperor Realm Soul, preparing for the subsequent annexation of all Emperor Clans.

Second, deploying the Soul Devouring Life Killing Array across the continent to prepare for a special blood sacrifice in the future.

Just these two things alone, if either were leaked, would make the Hall of Souls a target for everyone, becoming the public enemy of the entire continent.

Even the Hun Clan would be targeted by the Gu Clan and all other Emperor Clans.

Why didn't Gu Han do that!?

Naturally, it was because he couldn't.

Therefore, the so-called deducing of heavenly secrets was just an exaggerated rumor.

Soul Mie Sheng felt that Gu Han must possess a talent similar to a Treasure-Seeking Mouse for sensing heaven and earth spiritual objects, so he could follow the scent to find some high-grade Heaven And Earth Treasure, and places with high-grade Heaven And Earth Treasure were generally auspicious locations, so it was normal to discover some ruins of powerhouses along the way.

Coupled with the massive amount of information provided by the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan, it allowed him to analyze some of the overall situation and trends.

With all these circumstances piled up, it became what others called "knowing everything"!

"The Hall Master's words are reasonable." The Deputy Hall Master immediately chimed in after Soul Mie Sheng finished speaking: "Gu Han is just fishing for fame, and now he is just hiding well. As long as we spend a little time finding him, he is not worth worrying about at all."

With the Deputy Hall Master taking the lead, the other high-level members also voiced their affirmation one after another.

Soul Mie Sheng nodded slightly and was about to state a plan targeting Gu Han.

But the next moment, a strange, eerie, and fury-filled voice suddenly resounded within the great hall: "Soul Mie Sheng, what has your Hall of Souls been doing during this period!?"

Soul Mie Sheng's expression changed slightly; he stood up, cupped his hands, and saluted the void: "Lord Void, the work responsible by the Hall of Souls is progressing smoothly. Recently, apart from the appearance of a small bug, there has been nothing amiss."

The other high-level members all knelt on one knee, expressing their submission and respect to Void Swallowing Flame.

Void Swallowing Flame was the spiritual totem of the Hun Clan!

"Nothing amiss?" A black flame with strange runes swirling around it appeared out of thin air, and an indifferent voice came from within: "Then, why has the matter of the Soul Devouring Life Killing Array been exposed?"

"What!?" Soul Mie Sheng suddenly raised his head, his resolute face full of disbelief.

The deployment of the Soul Devouring Life Killing Array had been exposed!?

Moreover, Void Swallowing Flame had actually received the intelligence a step ahead of him!

Just at this moment, the Second Heavenly Venerate of the Hall of Souls, who was ranked lower in the crowd below, kept his expression unchanged and took out a Jade Slip to crush it.

The next moment, a man's voice came through: "Lord Second Heavenly Venerate, it is bad; news about our Hall of Souls deploying the Soul Devouring Life Killing Array has started to appear all over the Central Plains."

"Forces like Starfall Pavilion, Flower Sect, Pill Tower, Sound Valley, and Burning Flame Valley are fanning the flames the first moment, and they have stated that the rumors are true."

"The person who published this information should be that Hall Master of Xuanwu Hall, Gu Han."

"The Ancestor of the Pill Tower has also appeared, saying that the Hall of Souls preparing this great array should be for the benefit of the Hun Clan; it is the Hun Clan Chief, Hun Tiandi, who wants to capture him, use the blood sacrifice of the billions of living beings in the Central Plains to increase his grade and control him, and then consume the Medicinal Pill to break through to Dou Di!"

"What should we do!?"

There was one error in this information,

which was that the existence of the Soul Devouring Life Killing Array was to increase the grade of the emperor pill embryo in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode.

But when Gu Han arranged to spread this information, he did not directly point this out, because not only would it easily attract the attention of top powerhouses, but it might also cause them to directly enter the fray.

Even Hun Tiandi might be drawn out, because the information about the emperor pill embryo was currently known only to him and Void Swallowing Flame, and the rest of the Hun Clan only knew that the two strongest adults of the Hun Clan were preparing for a Breakthrough to Dou Di.

The Ancestor of the Pill Tower coming out to claim credit was also instructed by Gu Han, in order to confuse the judgment of the Hun Clan and the Hall of Souls.

"Gu! Han!"

Soul Mie Sheng gritted his teeth and spat out these two words.

If Gu Han dared to appear in front of him at this very moment, he would swallow him alive.

He had just said that it was impossible for Gu Han to deduce heavenly secrets and that he didn't even know about the Soul Devouring Life Killing Array, yet in the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face.

It wasn't just about being slapped in the face; he had also lost face in front of Void Swallowing Flame.

Of course, the most important thing was that the exposure of the Soul Devouring Life Killing Array would affect the grand plan of the Hall of Souls.

"What is going on with this Gu Han?" Void Swallowing Flame inquired.

"Lord Void, it is like this." Soul Mie Sheng immediately recounted all the information about Gu Han.

"Claims to know everything, huh." Void Swallowing Flame sneered, saying in a very confident voice: "Even the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor of the past did not have such a Divine Ability; he is just a kid with some talent and good luck."

"Back then, Xiao Xuan was stunningly talented and a half-step Dou Di, but he was still killed by me and Hun Tiandi working together; a Gu Han is nothing."

"If this seat guesses correctly, he must have obtained the Legacy of some Dou Di by chance, probably the Heavenly Snake Great Emperor's Legacy, which is why he knows more about some things, and he has gained the loyalty of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan."

"Although the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan has declined, their population has greatly increased, bringing him a large amount of intelligence, and since Xuanwu Hall is hostile to the Hall of Souls, he must want to find out the bottom line of the Hall of Souls."

"After obtaining some intelligence, he made some deductions."
