Sword Soul Mountain, Sword Soul Hall!
In the vast main hall, only a man wearing a green crown sat upon the highest throne, leaning against the chair with his eyes closed.
In truth, he was cultivating.
The dense Darkstar stellar source surrounding the main hall gathered before him like a whirlpool.
Though his eyes were closed, his mouth remained open.
Buzz!
With a breath, his chest swelled like a toad's. Torrential Darkstar stellar source surged like a river and poured into his mouth.
Boom!
When he closed his mouth, his swollen chest slowly shrank back. Murky black vapor rushed from his nostrils, forming two fierce beasts like azure dragons that charged forward, their breath stretching on without end.
The man in the green crown was none other than Lin Xiaoyun, master of the Lin Clan's third branch.
On a dark platform not far before him sat numerous golden communication stones!
Just as he was cultivating, one of the golden communication stones suddenly lit up.
A figure quickly rose from it.
"Hall Master, something has happened in Sword Soul Purgatory."
The figure spoke in a deep voice.
"What is it?"
"A 'Bloodline Hair Demon,' a 'mid God Ruins-class ferocious beast,' somehow infiltrated Sword Soul Purgatory. It killed two Lin Clan disciples, a man and a woman—a young married couple from the second branch. One was a second-level disciple, and the other a fourth-level disciple."
"Because the incident happened suddenly, and the Bloodline Hair Demon possesses special concealment abilities, the rescue did not arrive in time."
The figure said.
"A Bloodline Hair Demon? These stellar source ferocious beasts are innately savage and bloodthirsty. Normally, they cannot pass through our barrier. It may have sneaked in during the last disturbance to the barrier... It has been caught and killed by now, hasn't it?"
