Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 884 Soul Palace? My Family Owns It (Two Chapters Combined, Bonus Chapter for 7k Views!)
On the endless plains of Chibi, sandstorms rage, and the blood-red sunset hangs halfway in the sky, dyeing the earth a crimson hue.

This is the Xuanhuang Fortress, located in the heart of the Northwest.

Due to its natural environment, Xuanhuang Fortress became a natural stronghold that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Within a radius of a thousand miles, only the iron chain bridge inside the fortress could be used for passage.

Beyond the Xuanhuang Fortress lay an endless grassland, teeming with people. The sounds of weapons being sharpened could be faintly heard, chilling and unsettling.

On the grassland, a burly man with a beard and hair as unruly as a lion stood with his arms crossed, gazing at the crowd in the distance.

"Is this all the people in your Gama Empire Alliance?" he said calmly.

As the sandstorm swept by, familiar faces emerged.

The Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian of the Jia Ma Empire, and Fa Ma, though their faces are now slightly aged, their aura is far beyond what it used to be.

"Lion Nether Sect, our allied forces have arrived. If you have anything to say, please speak frankly!"

Beside Hai Bodong, a man exuding a fierce aura said coldly, "However, let me make this clear: don't think that your so-called bullshit negotiations will work in front of the Xiao family!"

"Even if I, Xiao Li, die, I will definitely bite a piece of flesh off you, Shi Tian!"

That familiar face was none other than Xiao Yan's second brother, Xiao Li!

Upon hearing Xiao Li's words, the expressions of the others on the field gradually darkened, and a chilling aura slowly spread through the air.

Since the destruction of Ice River Valley, the Lion Nether Sect has risen like a dark horse, expanding rapidly in the Northwest Region and even establishing some connections with the Central State.

In just a few years, it has risen to become one of the largest hegemonic forces in the Northwest Region.

Although there is no connection between Ice River Valley and Lion Nether Sect, both are backed by a mysterious and unpredictable force.

Soul Palace!

Everyone was already well aware of the terrifying power of the Soul Hall. Even Protector Wu, who had once manipulated the entire Yunlan Sect, was merely an insignificant figure within the Soul Hall.
Even though the strength of the people of the Gama Empire is now vastly different from what it used to be, it is still nothing more than a drop in the ocean compared to the terrifying Soul Palace.

"Alas, Lord Xiao Li, I have already made it clear that I came here only to negotiate with you, and I have no ill intentions whatsoever. Why must you make things so difficult for me?"

The burly man sighed softly, shook his head helplessly, and said, "As long as the patriarch of your noble family comes forward to negotiate with me, I can guarantee that I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Pah! Who doesn't know that the Lion Nether Sect is backed by the infamous Soul Palace?"

Xiao Li laughed in fury, and said coldly, "Shi Tian, ​​let me tell you, if you want to see my father, you can crawl over on your knees and kowtow to him three times. Otherwise, you're not qualified!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Lion Sky's eyes widened as if he had heard something unbelievable, and his face instantly darkened.

"Xiao Li, why waste words with him? Make your move quickly! With Queen Medusa in charge and backed by the Xuanhuang Fortress, we might not be unable to fight him!"

Hai Bodong let out a cold shout, his aura rising steadily, and faint spatial ripples appeared around him.

Behind him, Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, and the others also responded in unison, no longer holding back and displaying their full strength.

He had actually reached the high-level Dou Zong!
Through years of management by the Gama Empire, the Imperial Alliance is now vastly different from what it used to be, forming a power jointly managed by the Xiao family, the royal family, and the Snake-People.

The moment it made its move, it unleashed considerable power.

Seeing this, Lion Sky's expression grew even more gloomy, as if he had finally made up his mind, and he shouted, "Good!"

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for using my trump card!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lion Sky's body trembled violently, and the terrifying strength of a six-star Dou Zun emerged, making it difficult for the Lion Nether Sect members behind him to even stand up. They bowed and made way for him.

"Oh no, watch out!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Li and the others' expressions changed drastically. In the alliance, apart from Queen Medusa, who had the highest talent, there was no one who could contend with Lion Sky in front of them. If the other party really wanted to kill them, their strength would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"We need to find a way to hold him off. The Queen and Father are on their way, and Xiao Ning and the others have already gone to Zhongzhou for reinforcements. As long as Xiao Yan and Ruoruo arrive, we may still have a chance to fight them!"

As Xiao Li shouted, Hai Bodong and the others all became serious. They immediately channeled their fighting spirit and poured it into the Xuanhuang Fortress's great formation, trying to buy some time for Queen Medusa's arrival.

However, at that very moment, something unexpected happened.

As expected, Lion Sky, the so-called butcher of the Northwest Region who was said to be able to defeat ten thousand men, did not launch an attack after displaying his cultivation. Instead, he seemed to be welcoming something and slowly lowered his head towards the passage behind him.

The next moment, a young boy and girl slowly emerged from inside the Lion Nether Sect's main camp.

“Lion Sky, I remember the Soul Hall has a rule that when dealing with outsiders, you must either drive them away or kill them all. You must not let anyone say a bad word about the Soul Hall.”

A melodious voice, like a clear spring splashing on stones, drifted over and slowly echoed across the grassland.

“Nowadays, the atmosphere in my Soul Hall is becoming increasingly deplorable. Even someone like Second Brother, one of our own, is so wary of the Soul Hall. Shouldn’t you reflect on this?”

Upon hearing this, Shi Tian's burly body trembled violently, while Xiao Li and his group, who were already on the verge of exchanging blows, gaped wide open as if their jaws were about to drop to the ground.

"Miss Ruoruo?!"

"Little Yanzi?!?"

Xiao Li and the others stared blankly, their expressions even more fascinating.

They never expected that the reinforcements they had placed their hopes on would actually appear in the enemy's headquarters!

They even seemed to know each other very well!

If it weren't for that "Second Brother," Xiao Li would probably have been thinking of surrendering by now.

Instead of responding to the crowd immediately, Hun Ruoruo stared at the limp Lion Sky on the ground and said calmly, "Speak."

She already knew about the situation in the Northwest Region. It was safe to say that there was no Soul Hall branch in such a remote place, and it was probably impossible to find even a temporary branch.

This is precisely why the atmosphere within the Soul Palace has become so deplorable.

If they can't even kill everyone, what kind of Soul Hall are they?
It can be said that the reason why the Soul Palace enjoys the reputation of being the number one power in the Central Plains is entirely due to its fierce fighting!
Those who slander the Soul Palace, kill them!

Kill those who target the Soul Hall! Even if they reveal the truth about the Soul Hall, they will still be killed!

It is precisely because of this fine tradition, coupled with the Soul Palace's honesty in never cheating in transactions, that it has become the number one power in Zhongzhou today!
On the other hand, what about these people in the Northwest Region? Not only can they not even kill a person properly, but their integrity in transactions has also been tarnished by others, and even Xiao Li doesn't trust them.

Where does this leave Hun Ruoruo's face?

Feeling the girl's increasingly cold gaze, Shi Tian slowly raised his head, forcing out an expression that was more like crying, tears streaming down his face.

"I dare not kill."

His face flushed red, his lips trembled, and he murmured almost tearfully, "I have fought for the Soul Hall for many years, and I dare not kill a single person from the Gama Empire or the vicinity of Canaan Academy."

"You dare not kill?"

Hun Ruoruo frowned.

Lion Sky nodded hard and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, you don't know, but the forces that Lord Four Nine Heavenly Venerable supported in the Northwest Region were completely wiped out by him with his own hands just because he accidentally injured a student from Canaan Academy. He was really scared!"

"Demon Rain?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyelids twitched violently.

He almost forgot that the seemingly benevolent old man, who appeared to be a sycophant, was actually a ruthless Soul Palace Celestial Venerable.
"It seems that the Soul Hall's reputation in the Northwest Region was too bad before."

Xiao Yan gave a wry smile and said helplessly, "Let alone my second brother and the others, even if it were me back then, I wouldn't have had a good impression of those idle protectors either."

"."

Hun Ruoruo rubbed her throbbing temples and said coldly, "Didn't Mo Yu tell the Xiao family about our situation?"

"I told you, I told you!"

Upon seeing this, Lion Sky responded repeatedly, then said with a bitter expression, "Lord Four-Nine Heavenly Venerable once personally went to the Jia Ma Empire to meet the Xiao family, but as soon as he revealed his identity, he was immediately kicked out without even a chance to explain."

As he spoke, his voice gradually faded, and he stared fearfully at the girl in front of him whose expression was unpredictable.

have to.

This is another case of the Soul Palace having such a prominent reputation.

Hun Ruoruo rolled her eyes. Back then, the Soul Palace not only controlled the entire Yunlan Sect, but also kidnapped Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family. It would be strange if they weren't on guard.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken such a huge risk to rescue Xiao Zhan, only to be clung to by Xiao Yan so devotedly.

It's all that unscrupulous outsourcing company's fault!

Just as Hun Ruoruo was lost in thought, a spatial tunnel suddenly opened up in the distant sky.

Immediately afterwards, Medusa led Xiao Zhan and the others to the Xuanhuang Fortress.

"Yan'er? Miss Ruoruo?!"

"Young Sect Master?!"

As expected, Xiao Zhan and his companions were also dumbfounded when they saw the two people in the center of the enemy formation. Even the usually aloof Queen Medusa couldn't help but have a glint in her eyes as she stared intently at the girl's small hand being held.

Seeing this, Hun Ruoruo's eyes grew increasingly irritated, and she casually dismissed him, saying, "It's your chance to show off. Do what you think is best."

"Yes Yes!"

Lion King felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and kowtowed repeatedly. He then glanced at the two of them discreetly and quickly turned away.

For some reason, he felt that the young lady in front of him seemed a little nervous.

Illusion.

Lion shook his head, quickly dispelling the strange thought from his mind.

With such a high status, even the Four Heavenly Venerables are only worthy of kneeling at her feet. What could possibly make her nervous in this mere Northwest Region?
Without much hesitation, Shi Tian leaped forward and arrived in front of Xiao Li and Hai Bodong, saying with utmost sincerity, "Young Master Xiao Li, if I may be so bold as to ask you, do you still stand by your previous words?"

"Second, Second Young Master?"

Xiao Li was dumbfounded, not even knowing what the other party was asking, and could only nod stiffly.

Upon hearing this, Shi Tian's tense expression finally relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. He then stepped forward and knelt down in front of Xiao Zhan with a "plop," his eyes filled with a firmness that seemed even more devout than when he founded the Shi Ming Sect.

"This humble servant, Shi Tian, ​​greets Lord Xiao Zhan!"

"I've heard that you've mastered a martial art called 'Raging Lion's Fury.' I wonder if I might have the honor of becoming your mount?"

"this--"

Xiao Zhan had never seen such a scene before, and he froze on the spot.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's petrified expression, Lion Sky panicked and hurriedly explained in a fawning tone, "My lord, please don't panic. I am not a real lion beast. Just treat me like a dog."

Seeing this shameless scene, the people who were initially a little nervous all twitched at the corners of their mouths, and some even wanted to pinch their own faces hard, feeling as if they were watching some kind of absurd fantasy.

"This...this can't be a dream, can it?"

Xiao Li also pinched his own face hard, as if he wanted to crush it off. He gasped in pain and came back to his senses.

He turned his head and looked at the girl, who was even more beautiful and captivating than he remembered. He couldn't help but swallow hard and asked dryly, "Sister-in-law... no, Miss Ruoruo, what exactly is your relationship with the Soul Palace?"

"Soul Palace?"

Xiao Yan curled his lip: "It's her family's business."

At this point, Xiao Li's eyes bulged out. Upon seeing the girl's slightly unnatural expression, his mind went blank for a moment, and his scalp felt like it was about to explode.

"Wh-what?!?!"
