Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

"Your strength seems to have improved quite a bit..."

The Eighth Heavenly Venerable looked at Mo Shang with narrowed eyes, scrutinizing him closely.

"It's all thanks to the Eighth Heavenly Venerable that I managed to break through to the Two-Star Dou Zun realm."

Upon hearing this, Mo Shang respectfully bowed to the Eight Heavenly Venerables, his tone filled with undisguised joy.

"really!?"

Upon hearing Mo Shang's words, the Eight Heavenly Venerables immediately showed a hint of surprise on their faces. They carefully examined Mo Shang, who was hiding in the black robe, and frowned.

"What are you doing hiding in the dark all day, shrouded in black robes? If you're so capable, then show your face..."

"Let me see your strength!"

Although the Eight Heavenly Venerables mentioned Mo Shang's strange behavior of hiding in the black robe, they did not investigate it further, since everyone in the Soul Palace had their own secrets.

Upon hearing the words of the Eighth Heavenly Venerable, Mo Shang no longer hesitated and immediately revealed his strength as a peak Two-Star Dou Zun.

"really!"

As the Eight Heavenly Venerables sensed Mo Shang's genuine strength, a hint of excitement appeared on their faces, and their gazes toward Mo Shang became increasingly satisfied.

"Not bad, not bad, this kid really has talent..."

The Eighth Heavenly Venerable was secretly pleased, and then reached out and patted Mo Shang's shoulder:

"Alright, we are about to head to the Starfall Pavilion. Don't forget what I told you before: as long as you gain enough merit in this battle, we and the Three Heavenly Venerables will be your greatest support."

"I understand, kid!"

Mo Shang nodded slightly, then landed and stood not far away.

Without wasting too much time, the vast square was filled with Soul Palace experts, and not a single one was late.

Mo Shang stood in the corner, carefully observing the Soul Hall experts in the square, and a sense of worry rose in his heart.

Below, on the plaza, the group of more than ten people leading the way were all powerful individuals at the Dou Zun realm.

In addition, the number of experts at the Dou Zong and Dou Huang levels exceeded three digits, and they were all fully prepared to go.

"Shh!"

Just then, the figure of the Three Venerables appeared silently in mid-air, their majestic eyes, like those of a hawk, sweeping over the group of Soul Palace experts below.

Everyone stared intently at the Three Venerables on the stage, their eyes filled with fervor.

Feeling the gaze of the Three Venerables, their bodies involuntarily straightened up a bit, and the aura of the entire Soul Palace reached its peak at this moment.

Mo Shang felt the aura emanating from the group of Soul Palace experts, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

As the biggest villain in the Dou Qi Continent, the Soul Palace's strength is beyond doubt. However, at this moment, Mo Shang also discovered that the Soul Palace's iron-fisted rules, besides being a cradle of the strong, also made the entire Soul Palace strictly enforce its orders.

Even powerful figures at the Dou Zun and Dou Zong levels genuinely abide by the rules of the Soul Palace.

Thinking about it this way, if it weren't for the unexpected turn of events like Xiao Yan, the Soul Emperor's plan, which he had laid out for a thousand years, would have actually succeeded!

Or rather, if the Soul Emperor hadn't been so hasty in the end, the outcome would still be uncertain...

"Not bad!"

Just as Mo Shang was pondering, the hoarse voice of the Third Venerable slowly rang out, his gaze sweeping over the group of Soul Palace experts before he slowly spoke: "Follow me to annihilate the Starfall Pavilion!"

"Annihilate the Starfall Pavilion!"

The crowd cheered excitedly. Then, the Three Venerables waved their hands, and a huge, dark spatial rift instantly appeared in the space in front of them. Then, under everyone's gaze, the entire space split open in all directions, and the dark rift instantly filled the sky.

"set off!"

The Three Venerables waved their hands, and under Mo Shang's gaze, several massive warships emerged from the void. Upon seeing this, many Soul Palace experts quickly landed inside the warships.

"Boy, from now on you will stay by my side."

Mo Shang heard the voice of the Eighth Heavenly Venerable, nodded slightly as his gaze fell on the Eighth Heavenly Venerable, and then followed the Third Heavenly Venerable into a warship.

After all the powerful figures had boarded the warships, the Three Venerables waved their hands, and the warships instantly transformed into streaks of light, flying away into the distance through the void.

Through his connection with Xiao Fan, Mo Shang could clearly feel the distance between himself and his true form getting closer and closer...

...................

Meanwhile, in the Starfall Pavilion, on the back mountain.

Xiao Fan, who was originally lying on the ground, sensed the situation on Mo Shang's side and instantly jumped up, a gloomy look on his face.

Without delay, Xiao Fan immediately headed towards the main hall in front of the Starfall Pavilion.

Even before they got close, Mo Shang sensed the auras of many powerful figures. Xiao Fan understood that these were the powerful figures who had received the news of the Starfall Pavilion's summons and had come here specifically for this purpose.

As the young master of the pavilion, Xiao Yan is currently receiving everyone with Elder Feng.

"Senior brother..."

From afar, Xiao Yan spotted Xiao Fan's figure. When he noticed Xiao Fan's cold and stern expression, his heart clenched. He exchanged a glance with Venerable Feng beside him, then turned to look at the group of powerful figures in the hall, cupped his hands in greeting, and put on a warm smile.

"Hehe, esteemed seniors, please excuse me for a moment!"

"Hehe, Young Master, there's no need for such formalities. Please go ahead and get busy!"

"That's right, that's right. Young Master is a talented young man, he must have many important matters to attend to, so he doesn't need to worry about us..."

.............

Amidst the clamor of the crowd, Xiao Yan finally emerged from the main hall. Looking at Xiao Fan before him, a bad premonition rose in Xiao Yan's heart.

"Senior brother, could it be...?"

"Um......."

Xiao Fan nodded slightly at Xiao Yan, then looked past Xiao Yan towards the main hall behind him and transmitted his voice:

"The Soul Palace experts have already set off."

"The three Heavenly Venerables are leading the team, along with the Fourth Heavenly Venerable and the Eighth Heavenly Venerable. Besides these three, there are more than ten other Dou Zun-level experts..."

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Yan's expression immediately turned extremely gloomy. There were more than ten Dou Zun experts, including experts like the Eighth Heavenly Venerable and the Fourth Heavenly Venerable. Moreover, the most troublesome one was the Third Heavenly Venerable.

With a strength suspected to be at the level of a half-saint, he is now virtually invincible within the Starfall Pavilion.

"It happened!"

Upon hearing the news from Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan's face darkened. He turned to look at Venerable Feng deep within the hall and nodded slightly.

Venerable Feng, who was talking with a group of powerful figures, had a warm smile on his face. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Xiao Yan's actions, but then continued to talk with the group of powerful figures as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, then flew towards a large hall behind the Starfall Pavilion.

Chapter 289 War Mobilization

Inside the main hall behind the Starfall Pavilion.

Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan, Venerable Tianhuo, Venerable Tiejian, and others have already taken their seats.

As for Venerable Feng, he still needed to settle the group of powerful figures he had gathered ahead, so he was not here at the moment.

The people present were all from the Starfall Pavilion. Venerable Heavenly Fire had followed Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan all the way from Canaan Academy to Central State; Venerable Iron Sword had a life-or-death friendship with Elder Yao and Venerable Wind, so Xiao Fan naturally had enough trust in them.

Therefore, they did not hide anything and informed the two of the news that the Soul Hall experts had set off.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Venerable Tianhuo and Venerable Tiejian's expressions also darkened.

They exchanged a glance and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Although Venerable Tianhuo awoke from the magma world, he understood the terrifying power of the Soul Palace after his trip to the Dou Sheng Ruins. As a Dou Zun powerhouse who had been famous in Zhongzhou for a long time, Venerable Tiejian naturally understood how terrifying the Soul Palace was.

Otherwise, given his volatile temper, he would have already stormed into the Soul Palace with his sword when Yao Chen disappeared.

Now, hearing Xiao Fan's words, and seeing so many powerful figures from the Soul Palace marching towards the Starfall Pavilion, both of them knew that the Starfall Pavilion's greatest crisis had finally arrived.

However, Yao Chen is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Dou Sheng realm, and his strength as a Three Heavenly Venerable Half-Saint is unmatched in the entire Starfall Pavilion.

If there is no way to resist the Three Venerables, Starfall Pavilion will have no chance of turning the tide on its own.

"I wonder what kind of situation Yao Chen is in now..."

The Iron Sword Venerable spoke softly, his tone full of helplessness, after all, their only chance to turn the tide lay with Yao Chen.

"Our teacher is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Dou Sheng realm. Until he emerges from seclusion, we will have to rely on him for everything."

Xiao Yan began to speak calmly and methodically:

"Since the Three Heavenly Venerables are unmatched in strength and we can't deal with them, let's set aside our concerns for now. After all, besides the Three Heavenly Venerables, the Soul Hall has more than ten other powerful warriors, but we..."

At this point, Xiao Yan's expression turned helpless again. After all, in the Starfall Pavilion, there were only five Dou Zun experts, including the four of them and Venerable Feng.

Inside the main hall outside, relying on the old alchemist's reputation as the number one alchemist in the Pill Gathering and his status as an eighth-grade alchemist, he did manage to gather several Dou Zun experts, but there were only five of them. Moreover, the strongest of these five Dou Zun experts was only at the three-star Dou Zun level.

Even including them, ten Dou Zun powerhouses are still severely lacking in combat strength when facing the Soul Palace's higher-ups. Moreover, this does not even take into account the Soul Palace's several Tian Zun.

"Leave the Four Heavenly Venerables to me."

Just then, Xiao Fan suddenly spoke, looking at Xiao Yan, Heavenly Fire Venerable, and Iron Sword Venerable.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, the group all showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

However, nowadays, apart from the three Heavenly Venerables, among the four Heavenly Venerables at the fourth level of Dou Zun realm, only Xiao Fan can fight against him.

Seeing Xiao Yan's worried gaze, Xiao Fan reassured them, a smile appearing on his face as he unleashed his full power as a First-Rank Dou Zun.
