103: Soul Palace raid!

“Young Master Gu Fei, do you really have such a strong prejudice against me?”

“If you truly dislike me that much, then I’ll just leave!”

The coldness in Gu Fei’s voice made Cao Ying feel deeply wronged. She honestly asked herself, she hadn’t done anything excessive.

Just this, was enough to make him annoyed?

“Since you’ve come, why hide?”

Gu Fei ignored Cao Ying at this moment and looked towards a certain spot in the Void Realm of the hall.

“Heh heh, truly a Prodigy capable of subduing the Three Thousand Burning Flame…”

As Gu Fei’s voice faded, a subtle fluctuation immediately came from that spot in the Void Realm. At the same time, a sinister voice echoed in the hall.

Immediately after, two figures, completely shrouded in black robes, slowly emerged from the distorted space… “The people of the Hall of Souls, their actions are truly as dark as rats…”

Gu Fei looked at the two with icy eyes.

“What’s going on? These are people from the Hall of Souls?”

“People from the Hall of Souls, they actually came to Holy Pill City?”

This sudden situation surprised some of the people around.

“So, I misunderstood him!”

Seeing the two figures, Cao Ying finally understood that Gu Fei’s words were actually for her own good.

He knew that the inn would be in danger soon, so he wanted her to leave early.

At this moment, on the balcony of the inn, Venerable Skyfire also appeared with a frown.

“Protect those two!”

Gu Fei transmitted a message to Venerable Skyfire.

He understood that the people from the Hall of Souls had probably been staking out this place for a long time, just waiting for him to return.

Gu Fei wasn’t too surprised by this. After all, the news of him going to the Pill Tower to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame was known to most people in the Pill Tower and was no secret.

With the Hall of Souls’s infiltration capabilities, there might even be their people within the Pill Tower.

“People of the Hall of Souls, your audacity is too great! You actually dare to commit acts of violence in Holy Pill City!”

After Cao Ying reacted, her face filled with anger, and she loudly reprimanded the two Hall of Souls members.

“Heh heh, this old man has already set up a Soul barrier here. For a short time, no one will discover the situation here!”

Upon hearing this, one of the old men spoke in a faint voice. It seemed this person’s Soul Power was not weak, and he should have reached the Spirit Realm.

Gu Fei, on his side, had already learned the identities of these two through the emotion value feedback.

One of them was Mu Gu Old Man, who was from the same sect as Yao Chen.

The other was Old Freak Zhaixing.

These two, one was a Three-Star Dou Zun and an Eight-grade Alchemist, and the other was a Five-Star Dou Zun.

“You are quite confident in yourself!”

At this moment, hearing Mu Gu Old Man’s confident words, Gu Fei couldn't help but let out a faint chuckle.

“To deal with a rookie like you, this old man still has that much confidence!”

“I advise you to hand over the Three Thousand Burning Flame early, and this old man might consider sparing your life!”

Mu Gu Old Man evidently didn't understand the sarcasm in Gu Fei’s words and sneered.

“Spare my life? I think you should pray for your own good!”

Gu Fei scoffed again.

As his voice fell, a massive Soul Power surged out from between his eyebrows, transforming into a Soul sword that pierced the Soul barrier.

After refining his Soul with the Earth Core Soul Marrow, Gu Fei’s Soul Power was nearing the Late Stage of the Spirit Realm.

The Soul barrier set up by a mere Mu Gu Old Man shattered with almost no resistance under the attack of Gu Fei’s Soul sword.

As the Soul barrier shattered, some of the fluctuating Qi immediately spread out.

“How is this possible?”

Mu Gu Old Man’s face was full of surprise.

He hadn't expected that this young man, Gu Fei, would have such strong Soul Power. Before they even made a move, the Soul barrier was broken.

“The Pill Tower’s territory is not a place where the Hall of Souls can run wild…”

As this voice sounded, the black-robed man’s expression suddenly changed dramatically. He looked up at the sky and said in a hoarse voice, “Xuan Kongzi?”

“Excellent! Teacher will be here soon. You two Hall of Souls minions, you can forget about leaving Holy Pill City today!”

Hearing this voice, all of Cao Ying’s previous worries vanished, and she said with great joy.

“Damn it…”

Mu Gu Old Man floated in mid-air, his sinister gaze, imbued with a ghostly light, fixed on Gu Fei.

He hadn't expected that despite his caution, he would still be discovered by those old fellows from the Pill Tower.

Now, his whereabouts had been locked, and if he lingered here, the powerhouses from the Pill Tower would likely arrive.

“Xuan Kongzi, this matter has nothing to do with your Pill Tower. Why meddle in others’ affairs?”

Old Freak Zhaixing, who had remained silent, now spoke with a grim face, shouting sinisterly at the sky.

“Heh heh, this is Holy Pill City. If we allow your Hall of Souls to act recklessly here, how can my Pill Tower account for it to others?”

In the sky, the ancient voice that had sounded earlier slowly echoed once more.

This voice came from the Void Realm. Clearly, the speaker had not yet arrived but had used a mysterious method to transmit their Qi from afar.

“Old Devil, let’s go!”

Mu Gu Old Man knew the situation was critical, so he decisively wanted to leave here.

“Come as you please, leave as you please? You’re thinking too simply!”

Gu Fei attacked at this moment. He slammed his palm onto the ground, and a moment later, a towering pillar of fire shot out from beneath Mu Gu Old Man’s feet.

“It truly is an exotic fire…”

Feeling the peculiar power within the pillar of fire, Mu Gu Old Man’s face showed a hint of delight. He had coveted such a thing for too long.

He struck out with a single palm, and a giant energy crystal claw instantly blocked the pillar of fire.

“Bang!”

In this massive energy storm, Mu Gu Old Man’s body retreated several steps.

His face once again showed solemnity.

Clearly, Gu Fei’s strength had far exceeded Mu Gu Old Man’s expectations.

Originally, after receiving some information, he had chosen to bring Old Freak Zhaixing along, solely to deal with Venerable Skyfire, and had not put this junior, Gu Fei, in his eyes.

Now, a junior had actually repelled him with a single move, which was simply outrageous.

“Mu Gu, this kid has some skills! Keeping him might be a future problem!”

“It’s better to get rid of him early!”

Beside Mu Gu Old Man, Old Freak Zhaixing, who had not yet made a move, shouted loudly, then extended his palm, all five fingers pointed at Gu Fei.

His fingers trembled, and five viscous black mists surged out from his fingertips.

The black mist, with a clattering sound, condensed into eerie black chains. The chains coiled in mid-air, and with a 'chi' sound, they directly pierced through the Void Realm, appearing above Gu Fei’s head in a blink of an eye.

The sudden lightning-fast offensive also caused Gu Fei’s expression to change slightly.

Old Freak Zhaixing was not a useless person like Mu Gu. His strength was close to the Peak of a Five-Star Dou Zun, and even Gu Fei had to take him seriously.
