134: Chapter 133 The Ancient Clan's Soul Extinction Hall
After settling Zi Yan, Ling Yuan changed into the black robe he had prepared in advance, wrapping himself up tightly so that only his eyes were visible, and then charged directly towards the Hall of Souls Branch Hall.
As usual, Ling Yuan fought his way in, killing quite a few Dou Zongs of the Hall of Souls.
Only then did the Elder Zun guarding the branch hall come out.
This Elder Zun was initially somewhat afraid, as he had heard about the more than ten branch halls that had been destroyed recently.
The person attacking now was very likely the culprit, and he was unsure if he could defeat the opponent, feeling uncertain in his heart.
However, when he focused his senses on the opponent's aura, he discovered that the opponent was also at the One-Star Dou Zun Realm, with strength comparable to his own. His hanging heart immediately dropped, and immediately after, a surge of wild joy flooded his heart.
If he could capture this mysterious person and send him to the Earth Hall of the Hall of Souls, it would certainly be a top-tier merit. At that time, generous rewards would surely be inevitable, and perhaps he could even gain the appreciation of the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and advance further.
"Little thief, the recent uproar about the destruction of the Hall of Souls Branch Halls, that must have been your doing, right?"
Ling Yuan deliberately adjusted his voice to sound hoarse and spoke slowly:
"After the Hun Clan wiped out the Shi Clan, they have been cowering in the Soul Realm like rats, not daring to come out. Today, I have destroyed this Hall of Souls Branch Hall of yours, and I would like to see if they will come out or not."
This Elder Zun was only a One-Star Dou Zun; his level was not high enough, and he did not know much information about the Dou Di Clans.
He only knew that the Hall of Souls was backed by the Hun Clan, and he also knew that the Shi Clan had been wiped out by the Hun Clan some time ago. Beyond that, he had no further understanding.
However, this did not prevent him from guessing the opponent's identity from these words.
"Are you a member of the Dou Di Clans?"
"Since you know, why don't you obediently come over and meet your death?"
To be honest, upon learning that Ling Yuan was from a Dou Di Clan, the Elder Zun actually had thoughts of retreating.
But as soon as he thought of the rewards recently issued by the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, that bit of fear instantly vanished.
So what if the opponent is from a Dou Di Clan? Their Hall Master is also a member of the Hun Clan. With the Hun Clan backing them, what is there to fear?
At worst, once he gets the reward, he can find a remote place on the continent to hide for a while, and come out after the situation blows over.
Thinking of this, the Elder Zun became tough again.
"Hmph, little thief, you cannot represent the Dou Di Clans! The ones who guarded the branch halls you destroyed before were all trash, which is why you succeeded by luck. Now that you have hit me, you have hit a wall!"
As soon as his voice fell, the Elder Zun made the first move, forming seals with both hands and shouting: "Soul Hand Chain!"
Seeing several strands of black Dou Qi condense, they instantly transformed into black chains nearly a hundred zhang thick, carrying a whistling wind as they shot violently towards Ling Yuan.
In the past, Ling Yuan would have dismissed this level of attack with contempt.
When he was a Six-star Dou Zun, he could already contend with a One-Star Dou Zun, let alone now.
But he had to act right now; he could not expose his true strength and could only pretend to be dealing with it with all his might.
Ling Yuan raised his hand to condense a Dou Qi attack, which looked imposing but actually had little power.
The two attacks collided, emitting a huge explosion, and the ripples of Dou Qi spread outwards.
Borrowing the force of the explosion, Ling Yuan deliberately retreated a distance, pretending to be knocked back by the aftermath, and even intentionally swayed his body, feigning that his Qi and blood were surging.
This act of holding back was done very realistically.
Seeing that he had the upper hand, the Elder Zun's eyes lit up.
He thought: 'This person from the Dou Di Clans isn't that strong. I haven't even used my full strength, and he's already barely holding on.'
Thinking of the generous rewards beckoning to him, Leng Jie's attacks became even more ferocious. Strands of black Dou Qi continuously shot towards Ling Yuan, and the Soul Hand Chain condensed again and again, forcing Ling Yuan to retreat continuously.
And in order to make the act more convincing, Ling Yuan intentionally held back while fighting this guy.
He was afraid that if he accidentally killed this guy, he wouldn't dare to use too much strength.
The fluctuations of their battle grew larger and larger, spreading far away.
After fighting for a while, the Elder Zun discovered that although he had always had the upper hand, it was very difficult to capture Ling Yuan.
The opponent looked disheveled but could always avoid his fatal attacks at critical moments, and could occasionally counterattack a few moves, making it difficult to determine a winner for a while.
Fearing that a long night would bring many dreams, he crushed the Jade Slip to summon the Vice Hall Master.
Ling Yuan had waited too long for this moment.
The opponent summoned a powerhouse of the Hall of Souls; this act of diverting the disaster could finally enter its main theme.
Ling Yuan said in a hoarse and angry tone: "Old ghost, if it weren't for the fact that I just destroyed a branch hall and consumed quite a bit of Dou Qi, I would definitely kill you today!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Jie immediately realized that Ling Yuan was about to run, and these words were the harsh threats he made before fleeing.
Sure enough, as soon as Ling Yuan finished speaking, he was about to leave.
"If you have the guts, don't run!"
The Elder Zun did not want to let Ling Yuan go, and desperately entangled him.
How could he let Ling Yuan escape? Once the opponent ran away, he would not only fail to get the reward, but would also be punished for his incompetence.
Just at this moment, Ling Yuan suddenly stopped, turned around, quickly formed seals with both hands, and a huge handprint instantly condensed in front of him.
"Sea-Turning Seal!"
As soon as Ling Yuan used this Dou Technique, the Elder Zun recognized it.
His pupils shrank slightly: "Emperor Seal Skill, you are a member of the Gu Clan!"
At this moment, facing the non-transferable Dou Technique of the Gu Clan, Leng Jie did not dare to have the slightest contempt. He immediately circulated his entire body's Dou Qi, condensed a thick black barrier, and resisted the attack of the Sea-Turning Seal with all his might.
As for Ling Yuan, he didn't care about the result and ran away at the fastest speed.
"Zi Yan, let's go!"
The act of impersonating a member of the Gu Clan and diverting the disaster had already been performed.
Next, as long as he let Zi Yan take him away from here as soon as possible, for the rest, he would just wait for the matter to slowly ferment and let the Hall of Souls point its spearhead at the Gu Clan.
On the other side, the Vice Hall Master of the Earth Hall of the Hall of Souls, after receiving the Jade Slip summoning from the Elder Zun, immediately set off.
He knew in his heart that for the Elder Zun to crush the summoning Jade Slip, it was highly likely that the mysterious person who destroyed more than ten branch halls had appeared again.
This Vice Hall Master was a Three-Star Dou Sheng, and he soon arrived at this branch hall.
Looking at the corpses and the mess all over the ground, there was not the slightest ripple on his face.
He was also a member of the Hun Clan, and he viewed the life and death of the subordinates of the Hall of Souls very lightly.
"Leng Jie, what happened? Did that mysterious person come again?"
Leng Jie was indeed very disheveled at this moment, partly because he was injured by Ling Yuan's Sea-Turning Seal.
On the other hand, it was something he had done on purpose.
He failed to keep Ling Yuan, and fearing that he would be blamed by the Vice Hall Master for his incompetence, he deliberately made himself look more disheveled, wanting to use this to reduce the punishment.
"That is correct, Vice Hall Master. That little thief is a member of the Gu Clan. He used the Gu Clan's Emperor Seal Skill, Sea-Turning Seal, which is extremely powerful. Your subordinate was no match for him and let him escape."
Upon learning that the opponent was a member of the Gu Clan, the Vice Hall Master frowned.
"Which direction did he escape to?"
"That way, he is only at the One-Star Dou Zun Realm, and he was injured while fighting me, so he surely cannot have escaped far."
