Thrown into Disarray, Intent on Destroying the Physical Body
Chen Ning raised his palm, releasing a ray of pure white light that repaired Zhao Jinxiu's soul.
"Sect Leader Chen, it's alright. My soul is very resilient; you don't need to trouble yourself to repair it."
Zhao Jinxiu grinned, "That's the truth."
The reason he said he would die was because he felt Chen Ning wouldn't let him go.
And at this moment.
He can recover slowly through his own healing process.
Chen Ning understood Zhao Jinxiu's deeper meaning and stopped.
I can't expend too much Divine Power.
Some reservations should be made.
After all.
We are now in this secluded ancestral hall.
Next, we will inevitably face a deadly trap set by the Hall of Heroic Souls.
"It seems that the Hall of Heroic Souls not only wants to keep those soul cultivators who deciphered the ancient map, but also those soul cultivators who were unable to continue in the first place."
Chen Ning looked at the soul cultivator opposite him.
Now.
These people were all extremely respectful.
Strength reigns supreme.
When Chen Ning displayed such terrifying Divine Power, they were all completely convinced.
They also regarded Chen Ning as their pillar of support.
"Sect Leader Chen, what did you mean by saying that the Hall of Heroic Souls doesn't intend to let us go? Is there some conspiracy involved?"
Before Chen Ning could speak...
A deep voice rang out. "To call it a conspiracy is less accurate than to say it's the price you're paying for your search for fortuitous opportunity."
The cultivators were all startled.
They all looked towards the distance.
Now.
Hua Xusheng, the Hall of Heroic Souls, swept in from afar.
His spirit was very solid.
Clearly, the realm of the soul is also unfathomable.
"The Prajna Ancient Scripture is such a treasure, an immense fortuitous opportunity, but it naturally comes with risks, and those risks are that you will all perish here today."
As the last syllable was uttered.
All the soul cultivators felt as if they were being pricked by thorns.
The Hall of Heroic Souls actually intends to kill them all.
"Hua Xusheng, do you know what you're doing? Are you going to make enemies of all the soul cultivators in the world, and of the righteous path of the Nine Provinces?"
"How noisy you are... You mediocre people are not worth my time. If the divine soul required by that ancient diagram were not so lacking, I would never have injected the divine souls of you mediocre people into it..."
A burning glint flashed in Hua Xusheng's eyes as he looked at Chen Ning and Zhao Jinxiu, and continued, "What I truly care about are the souls of Sect Leader Chen and this thief who Three Quarters Past Noon."
"Three Quarters Past Noon?"
"This burly man is actually the thief who Three Quarters Past Noon."
The group of soul cultivators were taken aback.
Zhao Jinxiu's eyes narrowed, and she asked in surprise, "You actually know my identity?"
"Hahaha, the thieves who Three Quarters Past Noon are all skilled in extraordinary arts, and someone has told me about your name, Zhao Jinxiu."
Hua Xusheng shook his head and smiled, "This is truly worry-free and effortless. This villain was defeated by Sect Leader Chen himself, saving me the trouble of lifting a finger. On behalf of the Nine Provinces, I thank Sect Leader Chen."
"As for this reward, it is to make Sect Leader Chen's soul the most crucial link in deciphering the ancient map. How about that? That would be an honor."
Hua Xusheng's smile grew even wider.
If it's outside...
He couldn't guarantee that he could keep Chen Ning.
But this is within the secret realm of the ancestral hall.
Their souls could not escape.
Let him do as he pleases.
"Sect Leader Chen, when did you first notice something amiss?"
Hua Xusheng looked at Chen Ning with curiosity.
With victory firmly in hand, Hua Xusheng appeared even more relaxed.
"From the very beginning, I had my doubts."
Chen Ning laughed and said, "You, the Hall of Heroic Souls, chose the perfect time to appear and open the shrine as soon as A-Bai and I arrived. It was obvious you were waiting for me. Of course, that was just my guess at the time. Now I understand. Perhaps your real purpose is to gather enough powerful divine souls?"
"Sect Leader Chen truly lives up to his reputation."
Hua Xusheng clapped his hands slowly, "It's just a pity that you were ultimately outmaneuvered. Even if you guessed everything, you still couldn't escape this place. In the end, you'll be filled into the ancient map. How tragic..."
A look of sorrow crossed Hua Xusheng's face as he said, "Today, Sect Leader Chen displayed his brilliance in deciphering the ancient map, but at Three Quarters Past Noon, the treacherous Zhao Jinxiu plotted against us, attempting to harm a group of soul cultivators. In the end, Sect Leader Chen perished alongside him. A prodigy has fallen, and the world is in mourning..."
"So, what do you think of this story, Sect Leader Chen? If you're satisfied, I'll have it announced tomorrow..."
"The story is good, but it won't fool everyone, will it? Especially since the young master of the Star God Palace also perished here. Can you really hide it from the Star God Palace?"
Chen Ning spoke calmly.
Zhuge Bai is, after all, the future of the Star God Palace.
The old palace master doted on her.
If my grandson dies, there will be a thorough investigation.
Chen Ning said unhurriedly, "If A-Bai dies here, even if the old palace master risks his life and suffers divine retribution, he will probably still look to the stars and ask the heavens to investigate the truth. Can your Hall of Heroic Souls really keep it a secret?"
Chen Ning's gaze shifted, and his voice deepened. "You couldn't possibly be unaware of something like this, so you must have a secret behind you. That's probably why you're so fearless."
Upon hearing this...
Hua Xusheng's expression changed slightly.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Sect Leader Chen, you are so dazzling, you really cannot be allowed to live. Standing before you, I feel as if I have been stripped naked."
"As for the secret you mentioned, the dead have no right to know..."
Hua Xusheng finished speaking.
As the palm was raised, the entire secret realm of the ancestral hall trembled.
Hua Xusheng.
Lord of the Hall of Heroic Souls.
He can be said to be the person with the strongest soul realm above all others in the Nine Provinces, below even the Saint.
Even the pinnacle of soul cultivation is nothing more than this.
Faced with the actions of such a being.
The group of soul cultivators were immediately filled with despair and a sense of hopelessness.
One is Zhao Jinxiu.
This makes it impossible for them to even catch up.
Later.
Sect Leader Chen once again displayed his extraordinary strength, defeating Zhao Jinxiu.
Now, another peak-level Soul Cultivator has made a move.
The experience of this day.
That's just too amazing!
That's amazing.
However.
Hua Xusheng was startled at this moment.
He felt his soul becoming increasingly ethereal, and his spiritual realm beginning to decline.
What did you do?
Hua Xusheng at Chen Ning.
"Hehe, the Hall of Heroic Souls not only possesses powerful Essence Power cultivation, but his soul realm is also unfathomable. It took me quite a bit of effort to influence you."
Chen Ning gave a faint smile.
The Immoral Scripture is unlikely to have any effect on someone of the level of the Hall of Heroic Souls.
But it's not entirely hopeless.
Chen Ning's words just now were all setting the stage for that last sentence; the secret behind him is the key factor that can influence his mind.
At this moment, Hua Xusheng's spiritual realm rapidly declined.
They were already terrified.
"Sect Leader Chen, I have underestimated you after all."
Hua Xusheng grew increasingly anxious; with each moment he delayed, his spiritual power began to dissipate.
In front of the ancestral hall.
The four powerful warriors from the Hall of Heroic Souls Heaven Martial Realm the sky suddenly opened their eyes.
Just now.
They received a special message from the temple master.
They were ordered to destroy Chen Ning's physical body.
