201: It's a soul skill!

"Venerable Realm Fourth Stage!"

Shi Bao said, "Your uncle! Last time you said you were only at the Venerable Realm First Stage. You lie without even blinking."

"My lying is nothing compared to Jiang Ye. He even managed to trick this Saintess out of the Cold Water Palace."

"Scram! You're the one tricking people," Jiang Ye cursed.

Wu Linglong smiled and said, "Hehe, I came out with the Young Master of my own free will. There is no deception involved."

"Sigh! How did he brainwash you?" Zhu Donghai sighed.

Bang!!! Suddenly, the door was kicked open violently, and three Inner Sect Disciples from the Heavenly Fiend Hall walked in.

One of them said, "A Female Disciple is actually hiding here trysting with four men? Hmm?" The speaking Disciple was startled; the terrifying Evil Qi released by Jiang Ye suppressed him.

Jiang Ye stood up and said, "Which of you pieces of trash sent you here to cause trouble?"

"You... dare to attack an Inner Sect Disciple? You..." Bang!!! With a single sound, he exploded into ashes!

Jiang Ye looked at another person and said, "Keep talking!"

"You killed..." Bang!!! Another one was blown up.

The last one remaining was so scared he almost wet himself, his body trembling uncontrollably. "I... it was the Heavenly Fiend Hall's Chief Disciple Zhao Yang. He sent us to tell the new Saintess of the Cold Water Palace to go and accompany him for drinks."

"A so-called 'Chief' who just broke through to the Venerable Realm First Stage actually dares to ask a Saintess of the Venerable Realm Second Stage to accompany him? Where does he get the nerve?"

"He... he is the Grand Elder's grandson and the most talented Elite Disciple in the Heavenly Fiend Hall. His status in the Heavenly Fiend Hall is very high. Whatever he says, even some Elders have to obey."

"It seems this piece of trash does plenty of evil normally! Scram back and tell him that if he wants to find the Saintess, go to the Tianxiang Tower in Jieyu City. The Saintess is hosting a banquet there specifically to invite him for drinks and entertainment."

"Yes... yes..." The last Disciple who wasn't killed nervously walked out of the room in terror.

Shi Feng asked Jiang Ye, "What do you want to do?"

"Let's go! Leave this place. If he dares to go, I'll slaughter him outside! While we're at it, we'll enter the Secret Realm to find the emperor spirit qi. Staying here will only waste time and bring more trouble."

"Alright! Let's go."

A short while later,

Inside a palace hall of the Heavenly Fiend Hall, Chief Disciple Zhao Yang was instantly enraged upon learning that Jiang Ye and the others didn't take him seriously at all!

"Where are they?"

"That Jiang Ye said he's waiting for you at the Tianxiang Tower in Jieyu City."

"Let's go! Death-seeking ants, I'll trample him under my feet and crush him to death!"

And so, Zhao Yang set off for the Tianxiang Tower in Jieyu City with several Heavenly Fiend Hall Disciples following him.

At this time, Mu Ji, the Hall Master of the Heavenly Fiend Hall, had just come out of seclusion. After Qu Xiao told him about Jiang Ye and the others in detail, he also expressed his approval.

But then an Elder rushed in frantically to report, "Hall Master, Vice Hall Master, something terrible has happened! The newcomer Jiang Ye and Zhao Yang have had a conflict. They've agreed to meet at the Tianxiang Tower in Jieyu City. Given Jiang Ye's personality, he'll likely kill Zhao Yang directly!"

"What? What exactly happened between them?" Qu Xiao asked.

"Zhao Yang sent three Inner Sect Disciples to have the Cold Water Palace Saintess accompany him, and Jiang Ye and his group happened to be there. He killed two Inner Sect Disciples on the spot and left one Disciple to inform Zhao Yang to go to the Tianxiang Tower. They are heading there now."

Mu Ji said, "How can this person have such a heavy murderous intent? Killing at the drop of a hat—even our Heavenly Fiend Hall has never had such a ruthless person."

Qu Xiao said, "I'll go take a look. If I'm too late, Zhao Yang's life will be gone."

Outside the Tianxiang Tower in Jieyu City,

Jiang Ye's group had already faced off against the Disciples Zhao Yang brought, along with an Elder who supported Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang said, "You ants from the Southern Region really don't know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth. You even dare to defy my words?"

Jiang Ye brandished his black spear and said, "Saying even one more word to a piece of trash like you makes me look retarded! Even if you brought a Venerable Realm Elder, I'll still slaughter you today!"

The Elder said disdainfully, "Hmph! Just a Heaven Realm, where do you get such big talk... huh?"

Bang!! Jiang Ye flashed forward, and his spear smashed directly in front of the Elder. He barely managed to block it, and the single strike knocked all of them back.

Jiang Ye smiled and said, "Too weak! This is the strength of a Venerable Realm? Within ten rounds, I will definitely kill you!"

The Elder, having exchanged a blow with him, was also greatly shocked. He hadn't expected a Heaven Realm to have such formidable strength, not at all inferior to his own Venerable Realm Third Stage.

"You even dare to try to kill an Elder of this Hall? Truly lawless!"

Jiang Ye said, "Elder? All of you must die! Fiendish Silk Extinction Net!"

A terrifying large net formed from countless black threads instantly enveloped all of them. Jiang Ye was also inside, prepared to start the slaughter!

"What! This Evil Qi has actually turned into physical threads?" The Elder felt something was wrong. Judging by the performance just now, Jiang Ye really intended to slaughter them all!

Zhao Yang was also very surprised by Jiang Ye's strength. Now feeling the killing intent he released, he said nervously, "I am the future successor to the Hall Master of the Heavenly Fiend Hall. You dare to attack me?"

Jiang Ye's gaze was disdainful, and he said coldly, "You flies should just be on your way. You're too annoying!"

"Stop!" Bang!! The black silk net was directly slapped apart.

"Hmm?" Jiang Ye looked at the newcomer. It was Qu Xiao who had intervened. "Vice Hall Master! What is the meaning of this?"

"Why do you want to kill?"

Jiang Ye suddenly laughed loudly, "Hahaha!! Shouldn't you ask this question of your Heavenly Fiend Hall's sons?"

"No matter what, it is not a reason to kill!"

"Oh? You mean if he wants to kill me, I should just stand here and wait for him to do it?"

"That's not what I meant. He hasn't killed you either."

"Then what do you have to say now that your Heavenly Fiend Hall's sons want to make a move on me?"

Qu Xiao looked at Zhao Yang and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Zhao Yang remained silent. The Elder quickly said, "Reporting to the Vice Hall Master, it's this Jiang Ye whose murderous nature is too great. He tried to kill us as soon as he arrived!"

Jiang Ye laughed again, "Hehehe, Vice Hall Master Qu, I can't be bothered to make pointless explanations to these villains of your Heavenly Fiend Hall. If you want to step in and save them, fine! But you'd better control these dogs that bite everywhere. If they bark at me again next time, I won't hold back!"

Seeing that Jiang Ye still dared to be so arrogant even after Qu Xiao arrived, the Elder spoke again:

"What audacity! To dare speak to the Vice Hall Master like—" Thud!!! "Ahhhhh..." Before the Elder could finish, he fell to the ground, clutching his head and screaming in agony. His Soul was being scorched.

"What! You..." Qu Xiao was incredibly shocked. He recognized the attack method Jiang Ye had just used—it was actually a Soul Skill!

Jiang Ye said, "Vice Hall Master Qu, the few of us have business and need to leave for a while. My people from the Southern Region are cultivating in the Heavenly Fiend Hall. Can you help me ensure their safety?"

Qu Xiao said, "You've only just joined the Heavenly Fiend Hall. Where are you going now?"
