Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 700 Old Nine: I Need More Money (3,800, more chapters to come!)

"Om-"

The fluctuations emanating from the star field were quickly noticed by the outside world. The already chaotic Saint Pill City was now engulfed in flames, and countless areas had fallen.

"The Soul Palace is indeed still up to its old tricks!"

Xuan Kongzi's face turned ashen. Even though he had been prepared, he still hadn't expected that there would be so many traitors lurking in the Pill Tower.

From the most ordinary guards to the elders of the Pill Tower, it can be said that the interior of the Pill Tower is now riddled with holes!

"Elder Xuan, there's no need to be in a hurry."

Xun'er stepped forward, her pretty face cold and stern, yet she showed no sign of panic. She calmly said, "The Soul Palace's decision to make its move at such a critical juncture may not be a bad opportunity for us."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Kongzi's brows furrowed, but he did not refute it. Instead, he stopped and clasped his hands in a fist, saying, "Forgive my ignorance, but please enlighten me, Master."

Xun'er smiled slightly and said, "From the moment Elder Mu Gu was able to ignore the Saint Pill City's review and sneak into the Pill Gathering without anyone noticing, you and I should be very clear about just how corrupt the Pill Tower has become."

"."

Xuan Kongzi remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Xun'er's words.

Seeing the other party's increasingly grim expression, Xun'er didn't keep them in suspense any longer. She took a deep breath and whispered, "The reason these troublemakers haven't been completely eliminated is because they never show themselves. Now that they've all attacked at once, although it has caused quite a bit of trouble, it has also given us the opportunity to completely wipe them out."

"What does the president mean?"

"Lue the snake out of its hole."

A cold glint flashed in Xun'er's eyes as she whispered, "The rise of the Pill Tower is now unstoppable, and the Soul Palace is well aware of this. Therefore, for them, this is undoubtedly their last chance. Even their most deeply hidden spies will no longer hold back."

"Since these troubles will inevitably erupt sooner or later, we might as well let them run rampant and then wipe out all the traitors when they are most complacent and least vigilant."

The girl's voice was soft and elegant, carrying an otherworldly nobility, yet chillingly cold.

Her years of experience with the ancient tribe had made her accustomed to the corruption within the clan, where layers of protection were laid off. This was the root of the disease and a harbinger of the tribe's decline.

If it's an illness, it needs to be treated.

Xun'er was well aware of her own abilities, so she never mentioned this idea to her clan, and even her blood relative Gu Yuan was completely unaware of it.

In fact, she could have become the princess that the hero was to marry, just like in the picture books, spending half her life in an ivory tower, waiting for her dream lover to descend from the sky on auspicious clouds, and then becoming his reward for defeating the evil dragon.

She believes Xiao Yan has the ability, and she remains steadfast in her belief to this day.

But she didn't like this kind of life.

Xun'er still doesn't know why she has never seen her mother's face, why her father never interfered with the clan council, or why she seemed so different from her peers when she was a child.
This is Xun'er's own pursuit; she is unwilling and will not allow herself to rely on others to solve it.

She is not a hero, nor does she belong to the story in the picture book.

Xun'er slowly turned around, and under Xuan Kongzi's horrified gaze, she held her fair and well-proportioned palm bones in the air.

"Without destruction, there can be no construction; we will destroy and then construct."

Xun'er's eyes were indifferent as ice, but at this moment, her pupils shone with a blazing light like the sun.

"coming."

In the star field, as if sensing something, Hun Ruoruo suddenly whispered softly.

Xiao Yan, standing beside her, glanced sideways in confusion, only to see the girl lightly snap her fingers and turn back playfully: "Considering how hard your little Xun'er is working, it wouldn't hurt for Ruoruo to do her a favor~"

"Doing a favor?"

Xiao Yan seemed to sense something was wrong, looked up at the sky, and asked in astonishment, "Ruo Ruo means—"

“With the Soul Palace attacking, the Pill Tower naturally can’t sit idly by. Since she wants to play it big, I might as well go with the flow and give her a hand.”

Hun Ruoruo gazed at the two people in the sky above the star field, her lips slightly upturned, and her toes lightly touched the ground.

The next moment, a figure shrouded in black mist flashed out of the shadows and disappeared from the spot.

"This"

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the girl who seemed to have a telepathic connection with Xun'er, and couldn't help but scratch his head, inwardly grumbling.

To be honest, he couldn't tell whether these two girls were enemies or friends anymore.
"boom!!!"

As a Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace, Blood River and Prison Land's strength was naturally far beyond that of the Grand Elder. In just a moment, they easily broke the seal and completely liberated the Star Domain.

With a faint hum, all the strange noises in the void stopped abruptly. The boundless star field froze at this moment, and then shattered layer by layer like glass, causing the dragon's figure to roar out.

"damn it"

The Grand Elder stared at the giant dragon in the sky with a gloomy expression, his heart filled with anxiety.

Having absorbed the power of countless stars, the Three Thousand Burning Flames' strength has already reached its peak, far surpassing that of ordinary Dou Zun. Only the three giants can withstand its power.

Now that the reinforcements have not yet arrived, who can stop them?
"Jie Jie"

The sand giant, the embodiment of the prison, revealed a smile that appeared extremely eerie beneath its ferocious face. He chuckled and said, "Congratulations on your escape. As we agreed beforehand, please move to my Soul Palace and await the one-year deadline."

"This Soul Palace actually made a deal with the Three Thousand Burning Flames?"

Upon hearing this, the alchemists below were all extremely shocked. They had never imagined that the Soul Palace was so powerful, nor that the Three Thousand Burning Flames would be so spiritually connected.

Such a being, with both exceptional strength and mental fortitude, is no different from any other powerful individual. How could he possibly be willing to be absorbed and refined by someone else?

As expected, the dragon's eyes, filled with contempt, sneered, "Foolish, you humans, you nothing but try to seize my origin, hoping to gain my trust? Dream on!"

Although the Three Thousand Burning Flames didn't know exactly what kind of power the Soul Palace was, he only needed to understand one thing—

These people all just want its primordial fire!
Compared to Hun Ruoruo's frankness, the hypocrisy of the Prison Land was clearly more disgusting to the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

"You're courting death." Prisoner's eyes flashed with ferocity as he sneered, "Since you refuse to listen to reason, don't blame me for being ruthless. The Pill Tower is willing to seal you away, but my Soul Palace will let you know what it means to wish you were dead!"

As he spoke, the prisoner's body grew rapidly, instantly transforming into a sand giant a hundred feet tall.

Clearly, from the very beginning, they never intended for the matter to end peacefully.

For the Soul Palace, an obedient Strange Flame is far more efficient than a Strange Flame with intelligence. Only by completely capturing the Three Thousand Burning Flames can they make up for the losses caused by Mu Gu.

At that time, the Palace Master will naturally change his mind!
"Regroup immediately!"

With a low shout, Qiu Di crushed the jade tablet in his hand, and spatial power instantly surged out, tearing a rift in the star field.

However, just as the prisoner's eyes were filled with great joy, an old voice suddenly came from the crack.

"No need to wait."

The next moment, two aged figures slowly stepped out from the middle, raised their hands and waved, and a string of fine heads suddenly fell from mid-air and rolled all over the ground.

The white-browed old man slowly raised his head, meeting the astonished and suspicious faces of the two prisoners. His old eyes closed slightly: "Your reinforcements have all been executed."

Upon seeing this, the Grand Elder was overjoyed and quickly clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your help, Elder Lin!"

As the most capable assistant to the president of the Ancient Society and also the strongest combat force of the Ancient Society, Elder Lin and his companion held a status that was second only to the three giants of the Pill Tower, and were naturally far more prestigious than him.

The two of them acted at this moment, which relieved the Dan Tower's urgent crisis!
The prisoner's face was ashen. Looking down at the heads scattered on the ground, he spoke coldly: "Ancient Society. A mere emerging force, yet you dare to oppose my Soul Palace. It seems that the backer behind you must have a profound background."

Elder Lin smiled and said, "There's no need to test you. Since we dare to be enemies with your Soul Palace, our Ancient Society naturally has its own strengths. There's no point in saying more."

Seeing that the prisoner seemed to want to say something more, Blood River raised his hand to interrupt him, his pair of snake-like blood-red eyes locking onto the other party, and he chuckled, "As you said, there is no point in saying more."

"In that case, the two of you will serve as compensation for the sacrifices made by my Soul Palace."

Seeing that Xuehe showed no fear whatsoever, Elder Lin frowned slightly, subconsciously sensing something amiss.

With their combined strength, although they couldn't defeat a Celestial Venerable like Blood River, they could easily hold him back.

Being on Danta's home turf, once you get bogged down, defeat or even death is often already a foregone conclusion!

Under these circumstances, Xuehe showed no concern whatsoever; on the contrary, he was confident and prepared.
Could it be that you have something to rely on?

Seeing the fear on everyone's faces, Xuehe's pale face showed a sickly expression, and he said sternly, "Ninth Brother, what are you still hesitating for? Quickly join us in killing this fiend!"

The words had barely left his mouth when they caused an earth-shattering shock!
"Ninth brother?"

The Grand Elder's expression changed slightly. He knew perfectly well that within the Soul Palace, there was only one type of person who could be addressed as a brother by the Sequence Celestial Venerable.

That is, beings who are also of the Sequence Celestial Venerable level.
Before Elder Lin could react, a crack suddenly appeared in the void, and the ghostly figure shrouded in black mist finally revealed itself to everyone.

"Nine Heavens Demonic Rain!"

The elder was pale, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

With the three Celestial Venerables of the Sequence attacking together, the outcome was already predictable.

"you"

As expected, upon seeing Mo Yu appear, Elder Lin and his companion's expressions became incredibly varied, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

"Heh heh heh, with the three of us Sequence Celestial Venerables taking action, the defeat of the Pill Tower is inevitable today. Even your Ancient Society is powerless to reverse the situation!"

Prisoner laughed maniacally, unable to contain his excitement.

He looked at Elder Lin, whose expression was constantly shifting between anger and uncertainty, and sneered, "Still want to seek reinforcements? Apart from my Soul Palace itself, who else in Central Continent would dare to get involved in your Pill Tower and Ancient Gathering's affairs? You're just courting death!"

However, to the prisoner's surprise, Elder Lin did not show any anger in the face of his sarcasm. Instead, he sighed helplessly.

He shook his head and said in a low voice, "Were these also part of your young lady's plan?"

Mo Yu, his black robes fluttering, said calmly, "We cultivators are nothing more than seeking 'struggle,' but you, Miss, are the starting point of all struggles."

"Being schemed against by Miss is already a blessing for you all."

Although he was praising someone else, Mo Yu seemed to feel honored, as if praising that young lady was a great honor for him.

What are the Eight Heavenly Venerables and Four Heavenly Venerables, what are the orders of the Soul Palace? In front of Miss, they are all nothing but bullshit!
Elder Lin gave him a deep look, but did not refute him. He let out a long sigh and gave a bitter smile: "It seems that the dignity I was so proud of will be completely destroyed today."

Having said that, Elder Lin straightened his sleeves, bowed slightly, and paid his respects in the direction of Hun Ruoruo. He then raised his head and said, "I am Lin Hai, and I implore Miss Ruoruo to lend a helping hand!"

"Miss?"

Seeing that Mo Yu did not make a move directly, but instead began to talk with Elder Lin as if they already knew each other, Qiu Di and Xue He's expressions changed slightly, and their hearts seemed to tighten with unease.

"Mo Yu, what are you waiting for? Make your move!"

Prisoner's face was grim as he coldly commanded, "If you fail to seize the Three Thousand Blazing Flames today, you will likely face severe consequences when the Palace Master holds you accountable!"

However, Mo Yu seemed not to hear Xue He's order and slowly turned around amidst the surprised and uncertain gazes of the crowd.

"He's an eight-star Dou Zun?!"

This time, even Blood River couldn't sit still. With his strength, he could easily see that the aura on Demon Rain was no less than that of Prisoner Land!
Elder Lin sighed softly and said in a low voice, "According to the rules of your Soul Hall, these people still call you brothers, but they see you as a pawn. No wonder you've ended up in this situation today."

"No, no, Elder Lin has misunderstood."

Mo Yu stretched out his arm, and a wave of water mixed with icy mist condensed out, with black lines engraved on it, like a finely crafted work of art.

"They are my dearest relatives and friends, my brothers and sisters. In the early stages of my promotion, they put all the dirty and hard work on me, which is how I developed my smooth skills. I, Mo Yu, am grateful to them, so how could I not treat them as brothers?"

Elder Lin frowned: "What do you mean by this?"

Mo Yu grinned, his eyes bloodshot: "If you want me to kill your brothers, your Gu Society will probably have to pay more."
