While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 117 The Soul Palace Appears (Bonus Chapter)

The successive deaths of six powerful figures shook countless hearts, and also made the faces of the two elders, Jin and Yin, at the highest point of the battlefield extremely grim.

They originally thought that by joining forces and using their power to intimidate others, they could get a share of the pie.

Unexpectedly, he gained nothing but trouble instead of any benefit.

With Kui Sha gone, only the Beast Taming Sect Master remains, who is hardly capable of being of any use.

And they have reached their limit!

The two elders, Jin and Yin, exchanged a glance and immediately clashed with Queen Medusa, using the force to widen their distance.

"Even a Dou Zong level expert is ultimately insurmountable!"

"Your Excellency, please stop. Consider those two Azure Longevity Pills as a congratulatory gift for the change of control of Maple City. Farewell."

The two elders, Jin and Yin, bowed to each other. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, they immediately and without hesitation flew towards the distant horizon, a decision that left everyone speechless.

Queen Medusa frowned slightly and did not pursue.

In an instant, only the Beast Taming Sect Master, who seemed all alone, remained high in the sky. Feeling surrounded by enemies, his face turned deathly pale, and he was drenched in cold sweat.

Originally, he and Hai Bodong were evenly matched, but because of this distraction, Hai Bodong seized the opportunity and launched the Xuanbing Dragon Soaring again, severely injuring him in one fell swoop!

Knowing there was no way out today, the Beast Taming Sect Master gave a bitter laugh, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes, as if he was prepared to perish together with everyone else.

Unfortunately, at that moment, a seven-colored ribbon shot down from the sky, completely extinguishing his life.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hai Bodong forced himself to step forward and thank them.

A powerful opponent of the same level, if they were to disregard everything, would pose a significant threat to him.

It's unlikely he'll fall, with so many people around, but injuries are probably inevitable.

Queen Medusa ignored Hai Bodong and glanced at Chen Xiao in the distance.

"Remember what you said."

She left with just one sentence and then departed.

In a burst of bright light, the little Devouring Python appeared, rolled in mid-air, and transformed into a seven-colored line, which darted into Chen Xiao's sleeve at a speed that could not be detected by the naked eye.

Chen Xiao looked towards a mountain peak outside the city and sensed that the powerful auras that had gathered there had disappeared before he withdrew his gaze.

"Hehe, finally some peace and quiet. From now on, these people will have to think twice before trying anything funny. Beast Taming Sect, Kui Wolf Gang, let's raid their homes!"

Zi Yan was in high spirits as she gathered all the spoils of war.

Chen Xiao smiled helplessly and took out the small Devouring Python and handed it to her.

"Leave professional matters to professionals. You go and handle it cleanly."

The Kui Lang Gang and the Beast Taming Sect are not far from Maple City, so they can easily detect any battles between powerful individuals.

With Queen Medusa protecting him, Chen Xiao felt quite at ease letting Zi Yan act on her own.

"Okay! That's my specialty!"

Zi Yan readily accepted this lucrative job and vanished in a flash.

"Those two elders, Jin and Yin, are quite pragmatic. They ran away faster than anyone else when they saw the situation was not going well," Hai Bodong sneered.

"Let's talk about it downstairs."

Chen Xiao chuckled, winked at Little Fairy Doctor and Hai Bodong, and headed towards the city center first.

In fact, he had intended to keep the two elders, Jin and Yin, but on the way, he received a telepathic message from Elder Cao Xi, which made him change his mind and let the two leave for the time being.

Hai Bodong and Little Fairy Doctor were moved and followed closely behind.

Back in the bamboo house in the city center, Cao Xi and Cao Ying had been waiting for a long time.

"Don't worry about those two old guys, they won't get away. I'll make a trip there tonight when I have some free time. The reason I used telepathy to stop you is because I sensed a very subtle aura just now. This person is extremely good at hiding, and his strength is probably similar to mine. If he hadn't secretly captured the souls of several people, I wouldn't have been able to sense him."

Without Chen Xiao and the other two needing to ask, Cao Xi explained the reason with a serious expression.

If his strength is comparable to his, then he is a four-star Dou Zong level expert!

With such a powerful figure hiding in the shadows, it's essential to be cautious and avoid revealing too much of your strength.

Listening to Cao Xi's words, Little Fairy Doctor and Hai Bodong were a little confused. They didn't know much about the Black Corner Region, let alone the situation in the Central Plains.

Chen Xiao's expression turned slightly serious. His Dou Zong strength and ability to collect souls were all too obvious!

"Soul Palace!"

"Indeed, your information network is very efficient." Cao Xi nodded.

Noticing the expressions on Xiao Yixian's and Hai Bodong's faces, he gave a brief introduction.

"The overall situation in Zhongzhou can be summarized in one sentence: one palace, one tower, two sects, three valleys, and four pavilions. Well, that's how it appears on the surface. Each of these forces is a behemoth, with the one palace and one tower being the most powerful. And that one palace is the Soul Palace! Compared to them, a family like my Cao family, which relies on the Pill Tower, is simply not worth mentioning."

hiss~

Hai Bodong gasped.

In his eyes, the Cao family was already extremely powerful. One of their fourth elders possessed the strength of a four-star Dou Zong. One could imagine that their patriarch, the Supreme Elder, and other such figures would only be stronger.

If even a family like this is not worth mentioning in front of the Soul Hall, then how terrifying must the Soul Hall be?

Unbelievable!

It's unimaginable.

"I didn't expect that the Soul Hall would have such a presence in the Northwest Region. However, the Soul Hall has always been mysterious, and outsiders know very little about them. Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising that they would appear here. Chen Xiao, after Cao Ying and I leave, you two should be more careful when you're operating in the Black Corner Region. Since you know about the Soul Hall, you probably know their reputation as well," Cao Xi reminded him.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly.

He had long considered that as his strength increased and he left the Jia Ma Empire, he would inevitably come into contact with the Soul Palace.

Last night, when dealing with Han Feng, we were cautious because we were concerned about the possibility of the Soul Hall appearing.

He knew much more about this force than Cao Xi did.

"The Soul Palace is far more interested in souls than living beings. For now, I'll just keep to myself and them. But if anyone in the Soul Palace really harbors ill intentions... I'm not without ways to deal with them!"

Chen Xiao remembered that the Black Corner Region should be under the jurisdiction of Protector Xuan.

The strength of a four-star Dou Zong is indeed very strong, but Chen Xiao can now draw upon the Heavenly Demon Puppet at any time. In addition, with Queen Medusa and Elder Su Qian, who can be summoned, he has nothing to fear if they really face off!

"You must hide Han Feng's soul well. Alchemists' souls are generally stronger, which is very attractive to the Soul Hall."

Cao Ying spoke up to remind him, her expression unusually serious.

Chen Xiao nodded in response.

To reiterate, he understands the Soul Palace better than anyone else present.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. After making an example of them, Fengcheng should be able to stabilize. We should get back to our main business."

Improving our strength is an urgent matter!

Not just myself, but also the people around me.

We've acquired so many resources these past two days; we can't let them gather dust in our storage rings. We need to make the most of them.
