73: The feeling of playing with everyone is truly indescribable!

Immediately after, Xuan Tianchen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his thoughts spun like lightning.

In an instant, the ten thousand souls banner seemed to be endowed with life, and the black qi swirling around it began to churn violently.

It was at this heart-stopping moment!

Two profound, ink-black chains, emanating an eerie aura, shot out like lightning from within the ten thousand souls banner.

They tore through the void with astonishing speed, carrying unparalleled might.

In just a fleeting moment... they precisely and effortlessly hooked the Nascent Emperor souls of the two Haoyue Immortal Sect elders, dragging them into the ten thousand souls banner.

At this moment, the next target was clearly visible—it was Ling Xiao's confidante.

Xuan Tianchen's gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, fixed tightly on her graceful, curvaceous, and delicate figure.

He couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curl into a cruel and wicked smile.

A hint of unconcealed greed and desire also flickered in his blood-red eyes.

He mused to himself: Such a captivating young woman, if This Imperial Son could play with her to his heart's content, that wonderful taste would surely be irresistible, what a pity!

After all, personally destroying such a peerless beauty would truly be a waste of heavenly resources!

However... although Xuan Tianchen thought this, his actions showed no hesitation.

He suddenly stretched out his thick, powerful hand, gripping the other party's beautiful head like an iron clamp.

It was as if he intended to instantly crush and refine it.

When Ling Xiao, the human stick, saw this scene, his inner defenses instantly collapsed.

His face was filled with horror, and his voice trembled as he pleaded bitterly: "I beg you, please spare her..."

Facing Ling Xiao's desperate pleas, Xuan Tianchen showed no mercy.

Instead, he sneered and replied: "Didn't you just keep saying that This Imperial Son wasn't fit to be a righteous person?

What, now you've come to beg This Imperial Son for mercy, do you think it will be useful?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying blood-red divine light instantly burst forth from Xuan Tianchen's palm.

The divine light was almost corporeal, so thick it seemed to drip blood, instantly staining the surrounding void a blood-red.

With a sudden squeeze of his palm, he instantly crushed Ling Xiao's old lover's head, refining her in an instant!

A moment later, only her soul remained, held in Xuan Tianchen's hand, looking pained.

The soul twisted and struggled, but it could not break free from Xuan Tianchen's control.

Before it could recover, Xuan Tianchen directly threw it into the ten thousand souls banner.

"Yanran... Yanran..."

At this moment, Ling Xiao, whose face was ashen, repeatedly muttered these two words.

His voice was trembling and hoarse, filled with endless pain and despair.

At this moment, his eyes were hollow, and he had no desire to live.

After all, watching the person he loved being crushed by another's hand right before his eyes, and then having her soul imprisoned in the ten thousand souls banner, never to reincarnate, never to be reborn.

Anyone would feel heart-wrenching pain and despair.

"Look, This Imperial Son just obliterated the woman you love right in front of you, leaving not even a speck of her, where is your so-called righteous path?"

Xuan Tianchen looked at the despairing Ling Xiao, a faint smile on his lips.

The smile was full of cruelty and mockery, as if he was enjoying Ling Xiao's suffering.

And this feeling of playing with all living beings, for Xuan Tianchen, was indescribably wonderful.

"Since Yanran is gone, you should kill me too!"

As Ling Xiao said this, two shocking streaks of blood tears flowed from his eyes.

The blood tears slid down his cheeks like two rivers of blood, showing how much anger and despair he truly felt in his heart.

"Naturally, how could This Imperial Son bear to let the two of you be separated?"

With a faint smile, Xuan Tianchen's palm glowed with a brilliant blood-red divine light.

The light was dazzling, like a blood-red scorching sun.

"Refine!" Xuan Tianchen roared softly.

Then, he instantly crushed Ling Xiao's head, refining his body, which had already been reduced to a human stick, in an instant.

Only his soul power, cultivated for a hundred thousand years, remained.

It was at this moment that Ling Xiao's soul suddenly went berserk, determined to break free from Xuan Tianchen's control.

"This Seat cannot die here, This Seat must avenge the entire Ling Family and Yanran!"

(The Haoyue Immortal Sect elder, who had already become a fellow daoist in the banner, thought: Oh my god, so we just died for nothing?)

Ling Xiao's true purpose in asking Xuan Tianchen to kill him earlier was for this moment.

His body had been reduced to a human stick by Xuan Tianchen, so escaping was no longer an easy feat.

But in his soul state, he was complete.

Only then could he have a chance to flee.

But he still overestimated himself!

Xuan Tianchen could easily handle him in his peak state, let alone now that he was just a soul.

"Trying to escape in soul form, my dear brother, you are truly too naive!"

Xuan Tianchen laughed wildly, already activating the ten thousand souls banner.

Immediately after, the ten thousand souls banner suddenly trembled violently, and terrifying sounds emanated from within.

It was as if countless wronged souls were screaming in agony, making one's scalp tingle.

A moment later, accompanied by a monstrous surge of eerie black qi, Jiuyou, as the main soul of the ten thousand souls banner, suddenly materialized.

His figure was tall, sinister, and eerie, exuding an aura of endless terror.

Under Xuan Tianchen's will, Jiuyou didn't hesitate and immediately waved his hand.

In an instant, several terrifying, pitch-black chains shot out from behind him.

The chains were like black lightning, tearing through the void and firmly locking Ling Xiao, who was trying to escape.

Under this power, Ling Xiao's soul was instantly unable to move at all.

As Jiuyou pulled, Ling Xiao's soul was instantly captured in his palm.

"This aura... it's an Immortal Emperor's soul!"

Ling Xiao looked at the powerful soul figure before him, his face filled with shock.

His eyes were wide, full of disbelief.

Such an existence had actually fallen to the tragic fate of being captured by Xuan Tianchen into the ten thousand souls banner.

How could he, a mere Qi Refinement realm cultivator, escape with his life? Today, Ling Xiao was destined to die.

Just as Ling Xiao was filled with myriad emotions, Jiuyou suddenly grabbed him by the neck and dragged him towards the ten thousand souls banner.

At the same time, countless imprisoned souls within the ten thousand souls banner also sensed Ling Xiao's special soul and couldn't help but cheer.

It was as if they were saying: "Oh, a fellow daoist has arrived, quickly take a seat in this banner. It's very lively in here, everyone is talented, and they speak so well! You'll love it once you come in."

Ling Xiao: "I don't believe you, you old scoundrel, you're very bad."

As Ling Xiao was dragged into the ten thousand souls banner by Jiuyou like a dead dog.

The matter of the Ling Dao Immortal Domain finally came to an end.

"Collect!" Xuan Tianchen roared softly, and the ten thousand souls banner immediately transformed into a stream of light, merging into his body.

After doing all this, Xuan Tianchen slowly raised his head and looked towards the depths of the endless void.

And smiled calmly: "Fellow daoists, This Imperial Son has killed his way here, have you all enjoyed the show?

If you think it's not bad, and you don't want to become brothers in this banner, please remember to support This Imperial Son's boss!"

Xuan Tianchen's voice was like a grand bell, instantly resounding throughout the entire endless void, spanning the vast universe.

The voice echoed among the heavens, lingering for a long time... [PS: Since the protagonist has said so, fellow daoists, aren't you planning to send some gifts? Hahaha... (The author laughed like a pig)]
