Shadow of the Soul Hall, Three Dou Emperors Battle a Dou Zong!

Chapter Thirty-Two

From the depths of Misty Cloud Mountain, a vast and majestic aura descended like an ancient dragon awakening, carrying an irresistible pressure!

As this immense aura awakened, at a place several hundred li away from the Misty Cloud Sect.

Where Pill King Gu He and Misty Cloud Sect Leader Yun Yun were recovering from their injuries.

The stunning woman in white suddenly widened her eyes and muttered:

"Teacher... why has he awakened?"

The majestic aura, like that of an awakening dragon, instantly blanketed the entire Misty Cloud Mountain. An incomparably powerful pressure spread from its depths and finally permeated the plaza, which resembled purgatory.

"A Dou Zong powerhouse? Nobody told us this job was so dangerous."

Although White Fang and Lü Man were covering Xiao Lin and sealing off the Misty Cloud Sect's entrances and exits, they still trembled when they sensed that powerful aura.

At the same time, they noticed that the tall, upright old man in green robes, standing with his hands behind his back, was not surprised by this aura.

Clearly, Xiao Lin had known long ago that the Misty Cloud Sect had a Dou Zong!

Lü Man and White Fang felt like crying. They had thought they were only going to bully some Dou Wang-level opponents, but instead, they had provoked a Dou Zong powerhouse.

"Old Master Xiao struck so ruthlessly, directly cutting off the Misty Cloud Sect's bloodline and inheritance. This is an irreconcilable grudge greater than heaven and earth itself. He should have quite a bit of confidence in dealing with that Dou Zong, right?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Lü Man's beautiful eyes. In the end, she could only hope that Old Master Xiao, Xiao Lin, had sufficient confidence.

"This Jia Ma Empire is truly insane. I never want to come here a second time."

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor sucked in a cold breath. If Old Master Xiao could not withstand this, they might not even get the chance to leave the Jia Ma Empire.

"Once you board a pirate ship, it's hard to get off!"

The majestic aura emanating from the depths of Misty Cloud Mountain grew increasingly intense. Finally, a clear cry suddenly shot into the heavens.

A white figure suddenly emerged from the depths of Misty Cloud Mountain. Then, stepping through the void, he slowly made his way toward the Misty Cloud Sect plaza.

The white figure had not summoned Dou Qi wings, yet his speed as he walked through the void was not the least bit slower than Xiao Lin, Lü Man, and the other Dou Emperors.

Wherever his feet landed, ripples spread through the void. When the ripples faded, he had already appeared a hundred meters away. It was exceedingly mysterious.

The white figure wore an extremely simple white robe. As the breeze blew, his robes fluttered, giving him an ethereal and unworldly air.

He did not appear very old. There were no wrinkles befitting an elderly man on his face; instead, it resembled warm jade radiating a faint glow.

If not for his snow-white hair, no one would have thought him to be a Dou Zong old monster who had lived for an unknown number of years!

Yun Shan, the previous sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, looked upon the hellish sight on the Misty Cloud Sect plaza. His gaze abruptly turned icy, and boundless killing intent surged forth without concealment.

With Yun Shan's anger alone, the Dou Qi between heaven and earth trembled. Even Xiao Lin's Wind Sword Domain seemed to be shaking at this moment.

A Dou Zong powerhouse was terrifying indeed!

Yun Shan neither roared nor shouted threats. He remained silent, his eyes cold and deep like ten-thousand-year ice, while powerful Dou Qi flowed within his body.

The dogs that barked the fiercest often did not bite that hard.

The dogs that bit the hardest were the kind that stayed silent until they struck, and then went straight for your life!

Yun Shan's gaze swept across the plaza, passing over the hundreds of Misty Cloud Sect disciples and the many figures upon the Elder Platform. Finally, he saw Yun Leng, dead with ten thousand swords piercing his heart, his eyes bulging wide in an unrestful death!

He did not need to ask anything, nor was there any need to ask.

Everything was laid bare before him. A sect with a dignified Dou Zong had been slaughtered clean today, leaving not a single survivor!

After slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, Yun Shan fixed his gaze on the green-robed figure in the sky, and killing intent suddenly erupted from his eyes!

"Boom!"

High in the sky, only a few of Xiao Lin's hundred thousand cyan longswords remained. The Wind Sword Domain was already somewhat damaged.

Even so, destroying those longswords would still take considerable effort for an ordinary Dou Emperor.

At this moment, Yun Shan's anger alone caused wild winds to rise between heaven and earth. Wind Element, Wind Attribute Dou Qi, and all the wind in the world seemed to have become his possession.

The cyan-green sky and the Wind Sword Domain were directly dissolved, turning into an azure sky.

With a single thought, heaven and earth were overturned.

With a single thought, the sun and moon sank.

"You will all die here today!"

At last, Yun Shan spoke these words, and endless killing intent surged skyward from his body!

Yun Shan's expression was incomparably grim. With a sweep of his sleeve, a vast ribbon of deep cyan Dou Qi burst forth from the surface of his body.

The color of this Dou Qi was extremely dark, even appearing somewhat viscous. It was immensely powerful, causing the space around him to tremble continuously.

"Great Sorrow Wind Tearing Hand!"

As Yun Shan's shout fell, light suddenly blazed from his palm. A massive energy hand several zhang wide appeared strangely, then, carrying a fierce gale, reached directly for Xiao Lin.

That was right. Xiao Lin was indeed a peerless Dou Emperor, but no matter how powerful a Dou Emperor was, he was still only a Dou Emperor. Yun Shan, on the other hand, was a Dou Zong. The gap between their realms was an insurmountable chasm!

"Help me hold him off for a few exchanges."

Xiao Lin also felt a trace of pressure in his heart. After all, he was facing a Dou Zong powerhouse. He opened his mouth and said this to Lü Man and White Fang behind him.

Lü Man and White Fang exchanged glances. Having already boarded the pirate ship, how could they disembark so easily? Even if they revealed their identities as members of Heavenly Snake Manor, this enraged Dou Zong would not let them leave.

In that case, they might as well take a gamble and buy time for Old Master Xiao!

One woman and one serpent moved before Xiao Lin, meeting the enormous handprint powerful enough to tear apart a Nine-Star Dou Wang.

After Xiao Lin stepped back, he brought his hands together in a seal. The Dou Qi within his body began flowing madly as he prepared to unleash an even more powerful technique.

At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Yao Lao and told him a secret.

"Yao Lao, don't help me for now. Yun Shan is only small bait. Behind him are people from the Soul Hall. When that time comes, we'll catch them off guard..."

Upon hearing the two words "Soul Hall," Yao Lao's emotions underwent a violent change.

Toward the Soul Hall, Yao Lao possessed nothing but endless hatred and thoughts of revenge!

The Soul Hall was the most mysterious faction on this continent, without question.

They captured those with powerful Soul Power. Once a soul became sufficiently strong, even if the physical body died, the soul would not dissipate. It could still remain and seek another chance at resurrection. Such souls were called "Living Souls"!

When Yao Lao's physical body had been destroyed in the past, the Soul Hall detected his existence and launched a siege against him, intending to capture him.

After a fierce battle, Yao Lao escaped with his life, but his already injured soul became even more damaged. In the end, he could only linger within a black ring.

The black ring passed through many hands before finally ending up with Xiao Yan.

There was a deep enmity between the Soul Hall and Yao Lao. Upon hearing Xiao Lin's voice transmission, even Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Flame flickered, as though ready to strike at any moment.

"Old Master, are you ready yet? We can't hold on much longer!"

Lü Man and White Fang, one woman and one serpent, were being suppressed and battered by Yun Shan, barely holding on.

"Enough. Move aside." Xiao Lin took a deep breath. After dozens of breaths of preparation, his Dou Technique was ready.

An incomparably powerful aura emanated from his body. For a moment, he was able to stand toe-to-toe with Yun Shan, who was at the Dou Zong realm!
