Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 45 Vision
"Hehehe! This little girl does have some knowledge. I didn't expect that there would be someone who recognizes us in this remote corner of the Northwest Continent!" The black-robed man let out a series of eerie laughs.

Hearing his admission,

The fighting spirit that had just risen in Xiao Yue's heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a moment of silence as she stood there.

This is interesting; they've managed to capture her soul...

The black-robed man in the distance frowned slightly when he saw her suddenly fall silent. He was quite puzzled by Xiao Yue's reaction, wondering why she had stopped fighting when she had been so eager to fight just now.

"How did you find me?"

Xiao Yue's eyes flickered slightly as she asked.

According to the information provided by the old man, the Soul Palace is an extremely mysterious organization on the continent, and its way of doing things is also very strange. Few people on the entire continent know about it. Unless you reach a certain level, very few people know about them. Even Yao Chen does not know much about it because they are basically not interested in living people. Their targets are almost entirely the dead souls!
The Soul Palace has a unique characteristic in its soul-collecting techniques. They generally do not actively kill living people to collect their souls; they usually wait for people to die naturally before taking action!

It's not that they're kind-hearted. After all, if they were to carry out large-scale killing and soul-stealing without restraint, it would definitely arouse extreme resentment from the world. At that time, facing the joint counterattack of the powerful forces on the continent, even with a powerful background, they would not survive for long.

therefore,

These people usually wait for their target to die naturally, or indirectly cause the target's death through various means, before taking action to capture the soul. This way, they can avoid attracting unnecessary attention and successfully collect the required soul.

According to the old man's original words, this infamous organization was like a soul cleaner on the continent, or a soul-reaping messenger from the underworld, especially fond of alchemists with outstanding soul power on the continent.

As soon as they sense the death of an alchemist nearby, they will immediately swarm like leeches, attracting soul-collecting messengers to the place of the deceased's death, where they will stealthily and secretly remove the remnant soul from the corpse.

But Xiao Yue hadn't heard of any alchemists dying recently, so how could this have attracted a soul-reaping messenger? And what a coincidence that she ran into it.

and many more,

Suddenly, Xiao Yue seemed to remember something, and a thought struck her. She remembered a certain lowly alchemist who had died some time ago…

"You're Liu Xi's spirit-fighting teacher?"

Xiao Yue asked,
Liu Xi was just a first-grade alchemist. Even if he died, it probably wouldn't attract the attention of the Soul Reaper. After all, the Soul Palace wouldn't be so indiscriminate in its pursuit of prey unless someone was about to die right in front of it.

But in a small place like Wutan City, would there really be a Soul Reaper from the Soul Palace wandering around nearby? So, apart from the fact that the other party was Liu Xi's teacher, Xiao Yue really couldn't think of any other possibility.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the black-robed man's eyes, hidden in the darkness. He clearly hadn't expected Xiao Yue to be able to guess his identity. He then sneered:

"The little girl is quite clever. She originally planned to fatten up that wicked disciple before harvesting him, but she died so young. However, it's also thanks to his death that I was able to find you through the clues. In all my years, I have never seen such a unique soul..."

The old man in black robes revealed a greedy intent in his words, clearly showing that he was extremely interested in some kind of quality about Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue raised an eyebrow. Although the old man had warned her that her soul might attract the covetousness of this organization, she hadn't taken it to heart. Now it seemed she would have to be more careful in the future.

"I see. I've asked all the questions I needed to ask. Do you have any last words?"

Now that the ins and outs of the matter had been mostly clarified, Xiao Yue didn't plan to waste any more time. She figured she wouldn't be able to get any more secrets out of the other party if she kept asking.

Upon hearing her words, the old man in black robes paused slightly, a sudden, ominous premonition rising in his heart. "That is…"

The black-robed old monster's pupils suddenly contracted. A gentle breeze blew by in the distance, bringing a slight chill, but it could not dispel the intense unease that emanated from within.

In the silent, deep mountains, birds and beasts are startled into flight.

Under the pale full moon, he could clearly see the enormous creature that had slowly emerged behind the silver-haired girl.

Whoohoo!
A howling wind swept through the mountains and forests, and dark clouds churned in the sky, obscuring the stars and moon and shrouding the heavens. The sky grew darker and darker, and the light of the stars and moon seemed to dim suddenly, leaving the dense forest pitch black.

Xiao Yue slowly blended into the surrounding darkness, seemingly becoming one with the night. From the outside, only her crimson eyes could be seen flashing an eerie scarlet light in the night.

"Ow!"

suddenly,

With this awe-inspiring tiger's roar, the wind and clouds outside seemed to freeze instantly. The sound traveled far through the mountains, as if there were no other sounds in the world except for that rolling, turbulent roar of the beast.

The low-level magical beasts near the mountains lay trembling on the ground, a sense of fear that trembled through their very souls. Countless ferocious birds and beasts dared not move, trembling uncontrollably.

The tiger's roar carried far, even rippling slightly in the distant mountains. Hundreds of miles away, alert high-level magical beasts awoke from their slumber. They stood up with trepidation, looking up at the sky, but the night sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and the stars and moon were dim.

"What kind of bizarre fighting technique is that?!"

The old man in black robes was somewhat horrified. The air around him became unusually heavy, making it difficult to breathe. This intense sense of oppression enveloped him like a mountain, making him feel a chill run down his spine.

The tiger's roar he had just heard made him feel as if his soul was being pulled away by an invisible force, almost leaving his body.

"Weren't you just trying to take it away? Why are you scared now...?"

Xiao Yue's lips curled into a playful smile.

She slowly stepped forward, leading the enormous phantom behind her. Thick fog swirled around the Tai Sui Ferocious Tiger, obscuring its true form, yet its terrifying aura still sent shivers down one's spine. Its eyes, as large as lanterns, resembled two blood moons hanging high in the night sky, cold and intimidating.

"What...what kind of sorcery is this?!"

The old man in black robes felt as if an iceberg was slowly pressing down on him, and his body was completely unable to move. He managed to squeeze out a hoarse sound, each word filled with resentment and struggle.

"Oh!"

finally,
When the oppressive aura of the white tiger's divine soul behind Xiao Yue reached its peak, the black-robed old ghost sensed an icy chill deep within his soul! Unable to hold on any longer, his knees buckled, and he knelt down in front of Xiao Yue with a thud.

"Be more careful in your next life..."

Xiao Yue reached out a hand and placed it on the top of the other person's head.

The spirit is shattered, the body is destroyed, and the person is dead!
