165: Zi Yan: Is the Soul Palace so great?

In the slightly distorted space, there was a vast expanse of black land.

The surface of the land occasionally exposed some stark white, which were clearly broken bones, exuding a strange chill.

At the center of this vast region, a colossal black hall stood silently, like an ancient Vicious Beast prostrate on the ground.

From within the black hall, countless extremely thick black chains extended outwards, their other ends plunged deep into the ground.

And above each of these chains, a black mist swirled, vaguely forming a human shape. The chains also flickered with light from time to time, which then swept into the black mist, making it more solid.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, over a dozen black mists rose from the chains, contracting and transforming into over a dozen figures with cold expressions.

“Let’s go, it’s our turn to carry out the mission. I hope this time we can bring back enough Souls…”

Among these individuals, a figure who seemed to be the leader spoke in a hoarse voice.

After speaking, he waved his palm, and the over a dozen figures transformed into a black mist, swiftly shooting out of this space like lightning.

“Bang!”

However, just as the black mist was about to break through the spatial barrier, the space around them suddenly solidified, and then violently collapsed.

The over a dozen figures were crushed into nothingness by the terrifying spatial power before they could even let out a single scream.

“Chh!”

Immediately after, a large rift appeared in the spatial barrier, and two figures slowly walked in.

The newcomers were Gu Fei and Zi Yan.

“Woo!”

As soon as Gu Fei and Zi Yan entered the spatial barrier, a mournful wail came from the giant hall. Immediately, within the black mists on the chains, sinister gazes shot out, fixing on the two of them.

“How dare you trespass into my Hall of Souls territory! You seek death!”

A series of sinister shouts suddenly broke the silence of this space. Numerous figures rose from the chains and, without waiting for any orders, directly transformed into black streaks, bringing with them a chilling wind, and surged towards Gu Fei and Zi Yan like a tidal wave.

“A bunch of cannon fodder, quite eager to rush forward!” Gu Fei raised his hand and clenched it, and the large mass of approaching black shadows shattered into nothingness.

At this, the black shadows rushing from behind finally became afraid and paused.

“You scoundrels, how dare you act wildly in my Hall of Souls! You truly are tired of living!”

“All Heavenly Masters, capture him!”

Above the giant hall, an old man appeared.

This old man was hunched over, leaning on a skull-headed staff. His eyes were deeply sunken, with two faint green glows flickering within them, giving off a sinister and eerie feeling.

After his hoarse voice fell, over a dozen figures immediately shot out from the giant hall like lightning, finally hovering in the sky.

These individuals all possessed Dou Zun cultivation.

“Heh, a mere Second Heavenly Master of the Hall of Souls, quite good at putting on airs, aren’t you!”

Besieged by over a dozen Dou Zuns, Gu Fei let out a sneer. With his current cultivation, these people were no match for him, not even for a single move.

“Great Creation Palm!”

“Boom!”

As Gu Fei’s palm descended, space almost instantly collapsed, and a terrifyingly dark black halo, chilling to the core, spread outwards.

Anything that entered it instantly vanished completely. With one palm strike, seven or eight Heavenly Masters of the Hall of Souls were utterly devoured.

“You seek death!”

Gu You’s figure vanished from his original spot, reappearing in front of Gu Fei and Zi Yan. At the same time, a withered palm also extended, striking towards Gu Fei’s forehead.

“You are the one seeking death!”

Zi Yan, standing beside Gu Fei, made her move. With a casual palm strike, Gu You, a Half-Saint expert, instantly felt the threat of death.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the need to finish this quickly, Gu Fei would have truly wanted to clash with Gu You, this Half-Saint expert, to gain some combat experience.

“Myriad Soul Bone Armor!”

Under the threat of death, countless Souls wailed from Gu You’s body, converging into a black bone armor, which looked extremely sinister.

However, even such an extraordinary defensive method still appeared vulnerable under the immense disparity in cultivation.

A palm print rapidly caved in on Gu You’s chest. Immediately after, the bone armor completely shattered, and Gu You’s Physical Body within also instantly transformed into a mist of blood, scattering into the air.

The esteemed Second Heavenly Master of the Hall of Souls was instantly killed by Zi Yan in just one encounter.

“It seems that for a long time to come, I’ll need this girl Zi Yan to protect me…” Witnessing Zi Yan truly make her move, Gu Fei couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

“Hmph…”

As the Second Heavenly Master Gu You died, a cold snort emanated from the depths of the giant hall.

Immediately, dense black mist surged out from within. From that black mist, an ancient, emaciated figure, resembling a skeleton, slowly emerged, carrying a sinister aura!

The black mist churned, and a hunched figure, as withered as bones, slowly appeared in the sight of Gu Fei and Zi Yan.

“A Two-Star Dou Sheng. It seems this person is the Grand Heavenly Master of the Soul Hall…”

Looking at the ancient figure, Gu Fei murmured in his heart. If only the Grand Heavenly Master was guarding the Human Hall, today’s events would proceed very smoothly.

“Who is Your Excellency? Why do you attack my Hall of Souls? Do we have a grudge?”

The ancient figure slowly raised his head, his hoarse voice questioning Zi Yan.

In this person’s eyes, Gu Fei’s cultivation was not worth mentioning, so he paid him no mind.

However, his question received no response from Zi Yan.

“He’s yours. I’ll handle the others!”

Gu Fei instructed, then directly moved to harvest the other Hall of Souls experts.

“A mere useless person, daring to act in front of this Venerable One!”

Seeing this, the Grand Heavenly Master of the Soul Hall was enraged. Overwhelming black mist shot out from his five fingers, transforming into five gigantic chains, which rattled as they surged towards Gu Fei’s direction.

“Clang, clang!”

Just as the black chains were about to approach Gu Fei, the space around him suddenly fluctuated violently. An extremely violent spatial turbulence erupted, and the terrifying tearing force directly shattered all of those chains.

“You are the useless one! Your whole family is useless! The biggest useless person among the useless!”

The Grand Heavenly Master insulting Gu Fei immediately angered Zi Yan, who furiously cursed back.

“Who exactly are you?”

“How dare you attack my Hall of Souls!”

“At your level, do you not understand the power behind my Hall of Souls?”

The Hall of Souls Vice-Hall Master looked at Zi Yan with a solemn gaze. However, beneath his black robe, he could not clearly see Zi Yan’s appearance. It was just Zi Yan’s distinct female voice that surprised him.

When did such a powerful female Dou Sheng expert appear on the Central Plains?

“Is having a backer so impressive?”

Hearing this, Zi Yan pouted, appearing quite disdainful.

In the past, when the Void Ancient Dragon Clan was strong, they weren't even afraid of the Hun Clan, let alone a subordinate force of the Hun Clan, the Hall of Souls.
