As the Eighth Heavenly Venerable silently contemplated the half-body remains of a Battle Saint within his storage ring, a smile bloomed on his face once more.
"But Mo Shang's talent, strength, and character are all top-notch. And it seems he trusts me quite a bit now. I can put in a good word for him with the Palace Master in the future..."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire Soul Palace procession was quite relaxed and friendly.
.................
Meanwhile, on the way away, the situation was completely different for the other two Soul Hall Dou Zun powerhouses.
At this moment, a Soul Hall three-star Dou Zun named Hei Yun is on his way to his lair.
He had been summoned by the Eight Heavenly Venerables to go to the Dou Sheng Ruins. Their original mission was to seize the Dou Sheng's remains, but Xiao Fan's appearance caused their mission to fail.
Hei Yun originally thought he would be punished by the Eight Heavenly Venerables, but unexpectedly he was not reprimanded by them in the end.
However, Hei Yun could understand, since even the Four Heavenly Venerables had failed this time.
If this is the case, and all eight Heavenly Venerables are to punish them, they probably won't be able to convince the people in the hall.
However, although he didn't leave behind any great achievements this time, he also didn't make any major mistakes. In the Soul Hall, making mistakes is the most taboo thing.
Moreover, during this trip to the Dou Sheng Ruins, he also connected with the Eight Heavenly Venerables, which means his future development within the Soul Palace is just around the corner!
Thinking of this, Hei Yun became even more excited and overjoyed.
Even the scenery rushing past him as he moved forward seemed so enchanting.
"I never really appreciated the scenery along the way before. It seems I can't just bury myself in cultivation anymore; I should really take a good look at the scenery around me."
Hei Yun looked at the surrounding scenery, nodding repeatedly, his smile never fading.
"Yes, the scenery along the way was beautiful, it's just a pity you'll never see it again!"
Hei Yun had no idea that a figure shrouded in dark flames had somehow gotten close behind him.
Enveloped in the pitch-black flames, not a single trace of his aura was leaked.
So even though the figure was right behind him, he didn't notice it.
"Pfft!"
Hearing the sound behind him, Hei Yun became wary and was about to turn around when a spear pierced through his chest. The spear was covered in scorching flames that made his body burn.
The next moment, scorching flames instantly erupted from his chest cavity, and his internal organs were instantly reduced to ashes under the mutated burning, leaving only an empty shell in mid-air.
Xiao Fan floated in mid-air, holding the Thousand Flame Spear, with a withered corpse impaled on the spear tip, a look of astonishment on his face.
He hadn't expected that this Soul Hall expert, with the strength of a three-star Dou Zun, would be so easily defeated.
When these two Dou Zun powerhouses who had broken away from the Soul Palace team parted ways, Mo Shang embraced them and used the cover of the Chaos Fire to leave a mark on their clothes.
Xiao Fan was able to find him precisely because of this mark.
After spotting the Soul Hall expert's trail from afar, Xiao Fan used the Chaos Flame to cover himself, concealing all his fluctuations, and then quickly approached the Dou Zun expert.
He just hadn't expected the Chaos Fire to be so monstrous.
Under the cover of the Chaos Flame, even as he moved forward at full speed, all the energy around him was firmly sealed within the Chaos Flame, without any leakage.
So even though he had gotten close enough to be behind the Soul Palace Dou Zun expert, the other party had no idea he was there.
It was at this moment that Xiao Fan heard the other person utter a sigh, which he agreed with in his heart, but Xiao Fan would no longer give him the opportunity to admire the scenery along the way.
Holding the Thousand Flame Spear, he ended his life with a single thrust.
"Since I can't let you continue to see the scenery along the way, then I'll make you the scenery along the way!"
Xiao Fan stared calmly at the corpse on the Thousand Flame Spear.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Fan adjusted the pressure in his hand, and a wisp of battle qi flowed from his hand to the tip of the Thousand Flame Spear.
The black cloud's corpse was shattered and fell into the mountains below.
After obliterating Hei Yun's corpse, Xiao Fan put Hei Yun's storage ring into his pocket, then looked into the distance.
That was the direction he sensed another Dou Zun powerhouse from the Soul Palace had gone.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Fan used the same trick again, enveloping his body in chaotic fire to conceal his aura, and then chased after the direction his opponent had gone.
Because the distance between the two was not close, and the other party was constantly moving, Xiao Fan's huge bone wings unfolded and trembled slightly.
Thunder rumbled in the sky as the Three Thousand Thunderbolts were activated to their maximum, leaving trails of afterimages in mid-air.
Xiao Fan vanished from his spot in an instant.
Chapter 271 This is a high-ranking official close to the Eight Heavenly Venerables.
Xiao Fan's figure flickered, leaving afterimages in mid-air.
Dark spatial rifts appeared, and Xiao Fan continued to tear through space, rushing towards the direction of the chaotic fire imprint he sensed.
Without any unexpected events, Xiao Fan caught up with the Dou Zun expert.
The opponent's strength was only at the two-star Dou Zun level. Facing Xiao Fan, the opponent's fate was already sealed.
Moreover, after killing the previous Soul Hall Dou Zun powerhouse, Xiao Fan had already received a reward from the system.
"100 Battle Qi Points!"
"boom!"
Xiao Fan instantly broke through the six-star Dou Zun strength barrier, and his Dou Qi surged, reaching the level of a seven-star Dou Zun.
Feeling the vast difference in strength within his body, Xiao Fan remained calm and quickly arrived behind the Soul Palace's two-star Dou Zun expert.
"Shadow Cage!"
Now, in Xiao Fan's eyes, the Dou Zun powerhouses of the Soul Palace and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan are just walking Dou Qi points. Xiao Fan is unwilling to let them escape like this, as each one is a great medicine for him to improve his strength!
So the instant he approached his opponent, Xiao Fan immediately activated his fighting spirit, and the "Shadow Prison," which he rarely used before, instantly enveloped him, controlling his opponent within it.
After all, Shadow Cage is a fighting technique mastered by "Mo Shang". If it were leaked, it would easily expose Mo Shang's existence.
However, Xiao Fan's current actions were driven by the intention to kill his opponent. Moreover, there were no other powerful figures present besides this two-star Dou Zun, which is why Xiao Fan dared to act in this way.
"Um!?"
The Soul Palace Dou Zun expert felt the cage forming around him and a look of surprise appeared on his face. In an instant, his face was replaced by a cold killing intent.
"Who are you, you scoundrel?!"
However, when Xiao Fan appeared in his perception, his face looked like he had seen a ghost.
In his field of vision, a figure shrouded in black flames charged toward him, and in the figure's hand came a distinctive long spear.
He remembered the Soul Palace's kill list very clearly. This spear was Xiao Fan's weapon, but... why did this pitch-black flame resemble the black flame controlled by Mo Shang?
Moreover, why did the powerful figure in front of him seem to be non-existent in his perception?
However, his thoughts didn't last long, because at that moment, Xiao Fan had already arrived in front of him.
"Pfft!"
The sudden ambush, coupled with the "Shadow Cage," left the Soul Palace Dou Zun expert with no way to dodge. Just as he was about to mobilize his Dou Qi in the face of the attack, he discovered that a ball of ethereal flame suddenly appeared at his heart, causing his Dou Qi to stagnate.
With a single stroke of his spear, Xiao Fan killed the Soul Palace Dou Zun expert. Under the burning of the strange fire, everything turned into nothingness.
Xiao Fan easily put away the storage ring belonging to this Dou Zun powerhouse. He felt that this task from the system was just what he wanted.
It can target the powerful figures of the Soul Palace and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, and also seize their entire fortunes, increasing one's Origin Coin balance. Now, under the system's missions, it can also enhance one's strength.
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
[Battle Points have been credited!]
[Battle Aura +100]
Xiao Fan had just broken through to the Seven-Star Dou Zun realm, but after killing this Dou Zun expert, his strength rose again, reaching the Eight-Star Dou Zun realm. Feeling the Dou Qi within his body as deep as mountains and seas, Xiao Fan lowered his eyes and gazed into the distance.
That's the direction the Soul Hall experts left in...
.............
Among the Soul Palace's ranks, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable watched the departing Blood River Venerable with a calm expression. Although he also sensed the Fourth Heavenly Venerable's anger, he couldn't blame him for it.
Looking at the Soul Hall experts behind him, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable still followed his plan and led everyone toward the nearest Soul Hall branch.
Now, apart from Mo Shang, all the other Dou Zun powerhouses in this team are elites he brought out from the Earth Palace.
Mo Shang surveyed the group. Besides himself and the Eight Heavenly Venerables, there were two other experts at the Dou Zun level, both of whom were three-star Dou Zun. Apart from them, the other experts were not worth paying attention to.
However, seeing that Xiao Fan's strength had now broken through to the eight-star Dou Zun level, Mo Shang no longer felt any worry.
The Blood River Venerable, a fourth-level Dou Zun, has already left. Within this group, even an Eight Heavenly Venerable cannot stop Xiao Fan.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and Mo Shang and his group, led by the Eight Heavenly Venerables, arrived at a branch hall of the Soul Palace.
The powerful figures in this branch hall were solemn upon sensing the arrival of Mo Shang and his group, but their expressions immediately turned obsequious upon seeing the Eight Heavenly Venerables leading the group.
This branch hall houses two Dou Zun experts from the Soul Hall, but both are only at the level of a one-star Dou Zun.
Now that the Eight Heavenly Venerables and others have arrived, they naturally dare not offend them.
By taking over the branch hall, the Eight Heavenly Venerables and others directly occupied it. The healing herbs inside were also "offered" to the Eight Heavenly Venerables by the branch hall master. Although the Eight Heavenly Venerables tried to refuse, they could not resist the other party's hospitality and had no choice but to accept it.
That evening, the Eight Heavenly Venerables had their entourage of powerful warriors stationed there to recover from the injuries they had sustained in the Battle Saint Ruins.
