213: Chapter 213 Tang Huo'er: This is a spoiler

"Mu Qingluan": You were the one showing off first, don't you know your own status?

"Feng Qing'er": Do you really think I would be a mount for my whole life?

"Mu Qingluan": What, can you flip the script and become the master instead?

"Feng Qing'er": Big Sister Huo Zhi can go all out, so can I, Feng Qing'er.

"Mu Qingluan": Even so, aren't you still a mount? You've just changed locations.

"Cai Li": ?

"Yun Yun": There have been fewer Hall of Souls members killed by my sword recently.

"Mu Qingluan": *Cough*, sisters, I'm only targeting Feng Qing'er.

"Feng Qing'er": You will always just be the Junior Sister.

"Mu Qingluan": Trying to provoke me? I'm not afraid of you.

The women were chatting in the group.

In reality, they were all sitting on the deck refining pills.

However, refining an Eighth Grade Pill takes a long time, so they didn't watch it the whole time.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and a spatial wormhole exit suddenly appeared in front of the spatial channel the spirit boat was traveling through.

For ordinary cultivators, they can only ride specific spirit arrays and disembark at specific locations.

But Xiao Ting's strength is comparable to a Dou Sheng, so creating a spatial wormhole—something a Demi-Saint could do—is a trivial matter for him.

At this moment, the spirit boat passed through the spatial channel and arrived above a mountain range in the Western Region.

Rumble!

An Eighth Grade Pill was about to be born, causing the surrounding heaven and earth energy to change, and a celestial phenomenon appeared.

This situation immediately attracted the attention of nearby Hall of Souls Dou Zong-level Protectors and Dou Zun-level Elder Zuns.

The Western Region of the Central Plains is the headquarters of the Hall of Souls; most important areas are ruled by the Hall of Souls or are forces affiliated with the Hall of Souls.

With an Eighth Grade Pill about to be born, some Dou Zongs and Dou Zuns instantly caught the scent and rushed over.

They wanted the pill, and they also wanted the soul of the Alchemist capable of refining an Eighth Grade Pill.

"Collect!"

As the pill finished refining, Xiao Ting controlled the soul cauldron in his hand to fly out, enveloping the pill before directly swallowing the Pill Lightning in the sky to gestate and undergo the tribulation internally.

Seeing this, several Elder Zuns from the Hall of Souls immediately attacked, intending to snatch the Eighth Grade Pill.

But just as they moved, they discovered countless purple flames surrounding them, within which thunder seemed to be gestating.

"Perish!"

Wiping out over a dozen Dou Zongs and three Elder Zuns with a wave of his hand, Xiao Ting deliberately left the weakest one on the scene and said indifferently, "Go back and tell the people of the Hall of Souls: I am Xiao Ting, and I specialize in killing Hall of Souls dogs."

"If there is any dissatisfaction, the people of the Hall of Souls are welcome to come and die."

Leaving these words behind, Xiao Ting controlled the spirit boat to leave, traveling straight south, intending to traverse the entire Western Region from north to south.

Along the way, people from the Hall of Souls repeatedly attacked, but they were all killed by Xiao Ting.

Numerous messages were sent out one after another, and they immediately spread throughout the Central Plains.

"Have you heard? The Hall of Souls' home base was overturned by a mysterious Dou Zun."

"What mysterious Dou Zun? He didn't hide his identity at all; it's that City Lord of Zixiao City in the Black-Corner Region who made a name for himself in the Northwest Continent not long ago, Xiao Ting."

"It's actually him? I heard he broke through to Dou Zun at seventeen. At the time, I thought that couldn't be true, but now it seems it's not fake."

"Naturally, it's not fake. The Hall of Souls has had over a dozen Dou Zuns killed in a row."

"How many!?"

"Over a dozen?"

"The Four Pavilions seem to only have one Dou Zun each, how does the Hall of Souls have over a dozen Dou Zuns?"

"Ignorant. In this Central Plains, the Hall of Souls and the Pill Tower are on a tier of their own. Not only do they have Dou Sheng experts, but they also have many Dou Zun experts. The so-called Four Pavilions are only comparable to one Earthly Hall."

"Most branch halls of the Hall of Souls are only managed by Dou Zong Protectors, but it is said that there are twenty-four Earthly Halls and special branch halls that have Elder Zuns stationed there, all of which have two Dou Zun experts."

"Xiao Ting actually dares to provoke the Hall of Souls; does he have some kind of backing!?!"

Does Xiao Ting have any backing!?

This question was also directly asked when the Seventh Heavenly Venerable and Eighth Heavenly Venerable of the Hall of Souls simultaneously attacked to intercept Xiao Ting.

With two Eight-Star Peak Dou Zuns attacking, had he thought about how he was going to die!?

"I'll send you two to see Ninth Heavenly Venerable Mo Yu; he will surely be very pleased!"

Facing the Seventh Heavenly Venerable and Eighth Heavenly Venerable of the Hall of Souls, Xiao Ting still displayed absolute power to suppress them.

With a strike at the Dou Sheng level, the two couldn't even manage to send a warning before they were directly wiped out.

Bang!

Inside the Human Hall of the Heaven Hall, two more soul tablets shattered in the soul tablet hall.

From one of them, a message wrapped in black flames was transmitted: "The killer is Xiao Ting, a Seven-Star Dou Zun."

A figure filled with blood-red killing intent appeared, with a pair of blood-red eyes that seemed to contain a terrifying sea of blood.

"A Seven-Star Dou Zun, yet he can kill Old Seven and Old Eight? His combat strength is comparable to a Nine-Star Dou Zun."

"I have recently broken through to a One-Turn Peak Dou Zun; I'll use you to test my blade."

A streak of blood-red blade light appeared, tore through space, and vanished in an instant.

Following closely behind, two more illusory figures appeared, looking at the shattered soul tablets without any ripples in their eyes.

"Old Four has made a move. Are you planning to go?"

"I will go. Old Four has broken through to a One-Turn Peak Dou Zun; he's not like those expendable trash. If there is a chance, he might be able to step into the Demi-Saint level."

"Take this jade slip. If you discover that Xiao Ting has someone behind him, crush it, and this Saint will come as well."

The two people in this conversation were the Second Heavenly Venerable, Saint Hun Qing, who, as a member of the Hun Clan, possessed high-level Demi-Saint strength.

The other person was the Third Heavenly Venerable of the Hall of Souls, who had recently broken through to the Demi-Saint level.

When the Grand Heavenly Lord is in seclusion, the Human Hall is governed by the two of them.

"Understood!"

The Third Heavenly Venerable accepted the spatial jade slip, and his body flashed and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ting, controlling the spirit boat, had already arrived at the junction of the Western Region of the Central Plains, the Southern Region, and the southwest area of the Central Region.

For ten thousand miles around here, there are endless continuous volcanoes. The natural environment is extremely harsh, and fire-attribute energy is exceptionally dense. Xiao Ting discovered that his cultivation had improved significantly during this period.

When the spirit boat arrived in front of a mountain valley, Xiao Ting released his aura, which had just broken through to the Eight-Star Dou Zun level.

The Fire Cloud Old Ancestor, who was in seclusion deep within the Burning Flame Valley, opened his eyes and transmitted his voice to the current Valley Master of the Burning Flame Valley, Tang Zhen: "An Eight-Star Dou Zun has arrived in front of the mountain gate. His soul power is not weak; it is very likely he is a Grade 8 Alchemist. Arrange a grand reception."

If someone with hostile intent had come to the Burning Flame Valley, they would never have released their aura and transmitted a message so properly.

"Yes, Old Ancestor!"

Tang Zhen also sensed the aura of the strange Dou Zun outside the mountain gate, and upon receiving the Old Ancestor's message, he immediately took action.

Xiao Ting and his group were immediately given a grand reception. Tang Zhen held a banquet in the Assembly Hall and brought his daughter, Tang Huo'er, and his younger sister, Tang Xin, along.

Tang Huo'er was only superficially looking at Xiao Ting with curiosity, but she was incredibly excited inside, chatting with the other women in the group.

"Valley Master Tang Zhen, I have come presumptuously because my Xiao Family has a connection with your valley that has lasted for a thousand years."

Hearing this, Tang Zhen and the others showed expressions of curiosity.

They had no idea that the Burning Flame Valley knew any Xiao Family.

Tang Huo'er, however, thought her father was too stupid and didn't want to waste time, so she asked: "Could it be that you are a descendant of Xiao Xuan?"
