642: Deciphering the Cause and Effect of the Soul-Destroying Decree! A Crisis Divination from the Astrological Tower!

Zhao Xi of the Demon Hall saw that the encirclement had closed in, and she shot an arrow, emanating a chilling aura, towards Gouli's hidden location.

Just as the arrow was about to hit the ground,

A violent force suddenly surged from beneath the ground.

In just an instant,

The arrow was split in two by Gouli, who had taken the initiative to attack.

Boom!

A violent explosion echoed, forming a strong whirlwind.

When Zhao Xi saw Gouli, her pupils constricted, then she laughed, "Haha! Gouli! You've really fallen to rock bottom! To actually use a broken machete to fight me, you're truly seeking death!"

"You're the one seeking death!"

Gouli shouted with a powerful aura.

She suddenly leaped in front of Zhao Xi, raising the machete in her hand and chopping down towards Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi was completely fearless of this; her aura surged, and a light screen automatically condensed.

And a hint of purple cold air condensed on her finger.

Just as Zhao Xi was preparing to block Gouli's mountain-splitting strike and then launch her attack,

Something she hadn't expected happened.

Zhao Xi heard a faint metallic clang.

She saw a white light flash before her eyes.

Immediately after,

Zhao Xi was split in half, her internal organs and blood bursting out instantly.

She didn't know what had happened until her death.

Zhao Xi's Vassals saw this, their pupils constricting, "Holy crap! Run!"

Everyone turned and fled in all directions.

Gouli turned and took out a Mist Pistol, firing several shots at the fleeing enemies.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the blink of an eye, clusters of exploding flames bloomed on the distant enemies.

Gouli looked at the continuously rising mushroom clouds, and she was startled, "Holy crap! That powerful?"

At this moment,

She couldn't help but tremble.

However,

Gouli did not hesitate.

She collected the resources left by Zhao Xi, and then went to other directions to search.

Afterward,

Gouli used her Dragon Wing Talent, and with the power of the great desolation wings, flew 10,000 kilometers away.

Then,

She directly returned to her territory.

About 10 minutes after she left,

A strong fluctuation appeared on the previous battlefield.

Ying Xiantian, the Demon Hall Master, arrived here with more than a dozen Demon Hall Survivors.

He found Zhao Xi's body, which had been chopped in half.

This made Ying Xiantian's pupils constrict, and he whispered, "What a sharp weapon, to have shattered her without Zhao Xi even realizing it!"

"Holy crap!"

He cursed softly.

He turned his head and scanned the surroundings.

Ying Xiantian said to his Vassal, "It seems Gouli has a powerful force guarding her! ...She must be hiding in her territory now, not daring to come out! ...This will be difficult!"

He thought for a moment, then instructed his Vassal, "Since Gouli failed here! Then go to Su Lie's territory to find Li Fengxian!"

"Hall Master! Do we need to retrieve that karma item? This is an extremely important item!"

A Demon Hall Survivor couldn't help but ask.

Ying Xiantian shook his head, "No need! Even if Gouli gets this item, she won't be able to use it for a while! And it's temporary; it will dissipate on its own in about an hour!"

"Hall Master! Li Fengxian is Chairman Qingfeng's person!"

At this moment, another Survivor asked.

Ying Xiantian said indifferently, "Afraid of what?! If this matter didn't have Qingfeng's tacit approval, would I dare to do this? Don't worry! This is a rule mission! Chairman Qingfeng will know, but he'll be powerless!"

"You just need to make sure that the Fourth-Turn Professionals Su Lie left in his Title Territory don't make a move!"

After giving these instructions,

The Survivor beside him chuckled, "Haha! Hall Master, don't worry! This time, with Senior Brother Yao, a Fourth-Turn Professional, helping us, it will surely be a piece of cake! But, do we really have to wait for Su Lie to enter the battlefield before starting the plan? Will such a plan be effective against Su Lie?"

"Why wouldn't it be effective? This is the power of the Great Dao of Karma! We'll use Li Fengxian as material, and through his karma with Su Lie, severely wound Su Lie's soul! This is related to where he is and what he's doing!"

Ying Xiantian said indifferently, "You just focus on executing the mission; there will be important rewards for those who complete it!"

"Since that's the case, why don't we target Wang Baobao and September?"

...On the other side.

Gouli, who had returned to her territory, finally let out a long breath.

She first glanced at the panel of the Mist Pistol in her hand.

Previously, after she received Su Lie's resources,

By using attribute orb, she had increased the power of her four basic attributes to 1000 trillion.

At this time, Zhao Xi had already attacked her.

She could only be forced to strike back.

During this process, she didn't even know what kind of weapon Su Lie had given her.

Upon seeing it,

Gouli was filled with overwhelming guilt: "Hiss! Holy crap! How can I ever repay this kindness, Su Lie!"

She hadn't expected it to be a level 12 god-grade weapon.

This made her hand, holding the gun, tremble uncontrollably.

She then looked at the machete's panel.

【machete: Red God-level Quality; level 12 god-grade rule item;

Special effect, never worn: This item will never be damaged.

Special effect, double collection: Resources collected using this item will receive a 100 billion times resource multiplier (i.e., cutting 1 unit of wood yields 100 billion units of wood)

Special effect, sharpness: machete's sharpness value +100 trillion points;

Special effect, bleeding: A target wounded by the machete will enter a bleeding state. In this state, the target loses 5 trillion health points per second, lasting for 1 month;

Special effect, cut in two: The machete can cut anything in half, ignoring all of the target's defenses.

Rule, Void Breaking: The machete can break through space.

Note: This machete is primarily used for resource gathering and self-defense.

Note: This machete can only be used by Second Turn professionals and above.】

After reading it, Gouli exclaimed, "Damn it! What a monster! To be able to refine such a weapon! Holy crap!"

Although a machete is a common item,

Refining it into a level 12 god-grade item is extremely difficult.

This requires performing special unlock tasks, and even then, it's not a 100% success rate.

What she didn't expect was that

Su Lie not only gave her a level 12 god-grade Mist Pistol but also a rare level 12 god-grade machete.

This blade was the weapon that helped her directly chop Zhao Xi to death.

This made Gouli fondle it admiringly, "If only this were my weapon!"

"What a pity!"

Thinking of this,

She took out Zhao Xi's storage ring, and after some searching, she found a jade talisman emitting a golden glow.

Under Gouli's inspection,

The jade talisman's panel appeared in her sight.

【karma soul annihilation token: Red God-level Quality; rule Buddhist treasure;

Through a target's aura, token, or friend, deliver a heavy blow to the target's soul via the Dao of Karma.

If the target's Spirit attribute value is below 100 quintillion points, the target's soul will be directly annihilated.

If the target's Spirit attribute value is above 100 quintillion points, there is a certain chance of annihilating the target's soul, and it can 100% severely wound the target's soul.

Remaining time: 54 minutes 44 seconds;

Note: The higher the target's Spirit attribute value, the weaker the power of the karma soul annihilation token.

Note: The karma soul annihilation token is a one-time temporary item. If it cannot be used within the specified time, it will disintegrate on its own.

Note: The karma soul annihilation token can only be used by Second Turn professionals and above.】

"Insidious! Malicious!"

Gouli's expression changed drastically after reading it. She immediately told Su Lie in detail about her encounter and returned the ring and weapons Su Lie had traded to her, along with this karma soul annihilation token, back to Su Lie: "Su Lie! Thank you for saving my life! I didn't expect to owe you another life this time!"

"Now, even if I wanted to join your territory, it would be impossible!"

"When you return! I will become your bride!"

"I will join your territory and follow you to the death!"

"I don't want any reward!"

"I will only serve you like an ox or a horse!"

She sent a flurry of messages.

Su Lie had just completed a transaction with Qingfeng.

This transaction

Su Lie consumed a total of 50 trillion, 256 billion, 50 million reputation points.

Because his points and contribution points were insufficient to cover the amount of this transaction,

Therefore,

Su Lie chose to trade with reputation points.

He now had 49 trillion, 9820 billion, 6838 million, 9921 reputation points remaining.

This transaction acquired 1 unit of ghastly crystal, level 5 monster crystal, level 10 monster crystal, level 15 monster crystal, electric element crystal stone, dragon blood crystal, and iron resources containing five elements each.

Among them, these iron resources containing five elements were all god-tier rule quality.

They were Yang Gold Iron (Fire), Moon Refined Iron (Water), Divine Fiend Iron (Metal), Vine Gold (wood), and Sinking Dust Iron (Earth).

After Su Lie stored the resources in the territory warehouse,

He looked at the message from Gouli, and then completed this transaction.

After he took out the karma soul annihilation token from his storage pouch, he traded the resources back to Gouli.

"Keep these things to save your life! There are plenty here!"

Su Lie sent Gouli a message and a trade message: "Remember! If your territory is attacked, run directly to the Guild! It doesn't matter if the territory is destroyed; as long as you're alive, I'll help you get revenge when I return!"

His response

Made Gouli tremble suddenly.

Gouli then realized that she was not yet out of danger.

She hesitated for a few seconds, then re-completed the trade, obtaining the Mist Pistol and the machete.

Immediately after,

Gouli tidied up the resources in her territory, then took all thirty-plus Vassals under her command into the Mist Survivors Guild... On the other side.

After Su Lie read the karma soul annihilation token's panel, his eyes twitched slightly: "They actually want to use this Buddhist treasure to kill me! ...Fortunately, Gouli was vigilant!"

After thinking,

He used the Artifact Sword Path cultivation technique, consuming 1000 years of Lifespan, to transform the karma soul annihilation token into a manufacturing blueprint.

Su Lie looked at the blueprint again.

【karma soul annihilation token Manufacturing Blueprint: Red God-level Quality; Karma rule item manufacturing blueprint.

Requirements: 100 units of Prajna Gold, 1 Karma rule, 1 million monster crystals of any level;

...】

Following the blueprint were relevant details about the karma soul annihilation token.

After reading it, Su Lie put the blueprint into his storage slot: "Hmph! Buddhist stuff, huh? Now's not the time to deal with it... First, complete the plan!"

After thinking,

Su Lie then left the Great Joy Tower.

He arrived at the top floor of the Astrological Tower: "This time, to deal with me, the enemy actually targeted my friends; they truly deserve to die!"

"This time, I need to ensure my friends are safe!"

Thinking of this,

He used the power of the Astrological Tower to perform a divination for his friends.

Buzz!

Before long, Su Lie received a vast amount of information.

He instantly digested this information: "Holy crap! This is truly disgusting!"

Through this divination,

He learned that First Moon was currently deeply entangled in a series of Dungeons and couldn't get out. She wasn't in mortal danger, but due to the special nature of the Dungeons, she had lost contact with the outside world.

Although Wang Baobao wasn't in mortal danger because of her brother, a friend by her side would cast a spell on her, causing Wang Baobao to fall into a deep sleep.

Once Wang Baobao lost control of Baobao City,

Then the other party would use the name of Baobao City to launch attacks and create chaos against Su Lie's territory and Shanhai City.

September would not only die due to First Moon's loss of contact, but she would also suffer inhumane treatment.

Although Gouli had entered the Guild, she would be assigned a mission to leave the Mist Survivors Guild, and as soon as she left the Guild, she would only face death.

Although Qu Youyou and Luo Yao had less contact with Su Lie,

Their territories would be attacked by Demon Hall Survivors and foreign forces after Su Lie entered the battlefield.

Among these, there were not only figures from the Demon Hall but also Bai Yujing and foreign races.

The safest person was Li Fengxian.

Because he was right next to Kunlun Mountain, although he encountered danger, he was quickly rescued by Bai Miaoyin.

Therefore, Bai Miaoyin was targeted by the enemy and could not leave Kunlun Mountain even a single step.

She could only watch Shanhai City, Baobao City, and Xuanyuan City fall into chaos without being able to intervene.

After receiving this information,

Su Lie remained silent for a moment.

He then contacted Qingfeng: "Qingfeng! I need your help! ..."

He told Qingfeng the information he had divined.

At the same time,

While waiting for Qingfeng's response, he also told his relevant friends in detail everything he had seen.

Su Lie also gave each of them a storage ring loaded with level 12 god-grade resources.

At this moment,

In the Mist Survivors Guild,

Qingfeng fell silent, looking at Su Lie's message.

In Qingfeng's consciousness,

The consciousness of the mist rule told Qingfeng Su Lie's request: "How will you proceed?"
