"This is what my Soul Hall wants, and you dare to interfere!"
Seeing that Huo Xuan had taken the entire Dou Sheng Skeleton, the Old Ghost Zhai Xing Zhaixing disregarded his own injuries and roared angrily at Huo Xuan.
"Kid, it's not good to eat alone!"
Just as Huo Xuan was about to finish off the Old Ghost Zhai Xing, a cold shout suddenly rang in his ears, and then a series of figures flashed over from not far away.
After much effort, the group finally managed to defeat the ten Puppet. Once they were done with the Puppet, they immediately rushed over to fight for the Dou Sheng Skeleton.
"So what if I devour it all? Today, not only is this Dou Sheng Skeleton mine, but the lives of everyone here are mine too!" Huo Xuan said coldly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
Upon hearing this, not only Old Ghost Zhai Xing, but everyone else present turned deathly pale, because Huo Xuan's words were not only directed at Old Ghost Zhai Xing and his group, but at all of them.
Next, Huo Xuan did not use Dou Technique, because dealing with a Five-Star Dou Zun was not worthy of his use of Dou Technique. He condensed his fighting Dou Qi and with a few punches and kicks, he killed the Old Ghost Zhai Xing Zhaixing.
"Old Ghost Zhai Xing is dead!"
Inside the main hall, everyone gasped in shock. Old Ghost Zhai Xing was a Five-Star Dou Zun expert, and to kill him so easily was a rare feat.
The death of Old Ghost Zhai Xing caused panic among the crowd.
They knew that someone who could easily kill a Five-Star Dou Zun must be at least an eight-star or Nine-Star Dou Zun.
Among everyone present, there was no one who could reach or surpass that level of strength.
After killing Zhaixing Laogui, Huo Xuan not only took away his storage ring, but also stole a large number of souls that Zhaixing Laogui had painstakingly collected in his soul bag.
"You... you killed the Star Picking Heavenly Venerable, the Soul Hall will definitely not let you get away with this!"
"I almost forgot about you guys!"
Huo Xuan casually waved his hand, unleashing a burst of Dou Qi that instantly annihilated all the Soul Hall experts who had come to the Ancient Ruins with the Old Ghost Zhai Xing Zhaixing.
Just like when dealing with the Old Ghost Zhai Xing, Huo Xuan took away their Storage Ring and the souls they had painstakingly collected over the years.
"It's your turn!"
Huo Xuan's icy gaze swept across the hall, and everyone immediately felt a strong killing intent. Under his cold gaze, they felt like lambs to the slaughter.
"Run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, some people who were far away from Huo Xuan endured the pain and dragged their heavily injured bodies as they quickly rushed out of the main hall.
With them taking the lead, the rest of the people in the hall also became chaotic, and they all tried to escape in a flash.
Unfortunately, the space around the main hall had already been sealed off by Huo Xuan, so they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
"The space... is sealed off!"
"We can't get out!"
"Let's fight him!"
At this moment, many powerful figures looked on in despair, and then they turned around with grief and indignation, wanting to join forces to eliminate Huo Xuan.
Huo Xuan simply smiled as he sent them one by one to their Road to the Yellow Springs. If they were all still in their prime, he might have been somewhat wary of them if they had joined forces. However, after the scroll battle and the Puppet attack, most of them had perished, and those who survived were either on the verge of death or severely injured.
Huo Xuan could deal with this group of small fry without breaking a sweat.
"I am Wind Venerable, the Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion. If you allow us to leave, then from this day forward, you will be an honored guest of the Starfall Pavilion."
Inside the main hall, an old man in a green robe from the remaining forces of the Starfall Pavilion quickly spoke up.
"Oh? A distinguished guest?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan robe. The old man in the green robe had long hair that was draped over his shoulders, giving him a carefree look. His appearance was not ordinary, and even though he was old, one could still vaguely see a hint of handsomeness in him.
"The Wind Venerable?"
In the original novel, Feng Xian, the Wind Venerable Yao Chen, was a close friend of Yao Chen. Old Ya once saved his life with the Bone Chilling Flame. Wind Venerable always regarded him as a sworn brother. Later, in order to commemorate their friendship, Feng Xian changed his name to Gu Ling, taking Yao Chen's Strange Fire as his name.
Even after his disciple Han Feng publicly claimed that the pill refining had backfired, Yao Chen did not give up and searched everywhere for Yao Chen's whereabouts.
"I wonder if Ancient Spirit Venerable said is true?" Huo Xuan asked with great interest.
Upon hearing this, Wind Venerable was overjoyed and hurriedly nodded, saying, "As long as you can spare us, you will always be a distinguished guest of my Starfall Pavilion."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan smiled slightly and said, "But, Ancient Spirit Venerable, I once killed one of your friends. Under these circumstances, can I really still become a distinguished guest of your Starfall Pavilion?"
When Wind Venerable heard that Huo Xuan had killed one of his friends, he was taken aback at first, then forced a smile and said, "It's alright, that was a personal grudge between you and him. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Starfall Pavilion, does it?"
Wind Venerable Feng didn't have any close friends, so he believed that the friend Huo Xuan mentioned didn't have a very good relationship with him. Naturally, he wouldn't risk the lives of all the Starfall Pavilion disciples present for the sake of a friend he might have only met once.
Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan smiled, opened his palm, and a Bone White Flame quickly shot out.
"Bone Chilling Flame..."
Wind Venerable stared blankly at the Bone White Flame. He was no stranger to this fire; if it hadn't been for it when he was on his deathbed, Wind Venerable probably wouldn't be who he is today.
The owner of this Strange Fire was his long-lost friend, the true master of the Starfall Pavilion, the Venerable Yao, Yao Chen!
Even with Wind Venerable's keen eyesight, he didn't sense that deep-seated familiarity from the Bone Chilling Flame. Therefore, he understood that the Bone Chilling Flame wasn't something his old friend had willingly placed within this young man's body, but rather something the latter had seized through trickery...
"I not only stole Yao Chen's Strange Fire, but I also turned him into a Puppet. Now I probably can't be a distinguished guest of the Starfall Pavilion."
Huo Xuan controlled the Bone Chilling Flame that was floating above his palm, and finally, in a strange fluctuation, it transformed into a palm-sized, pale white Fire Lotus.
"Go to hell!"
"Boom!"
Before Wind Venerable could even speak, the snow-white Fire Lotus rushed towards them, and an explosion rang out. Wind Venerable and the others were almost instantly engulfed by the flames.
The Wind Venerable was reborn because of the Bone Chilling Flame, but now he is dying because of the Bone Chilling Flame. What a strange fate!
As the heatwave subsided, Wind Venerable and the others were all reduced to ashes, leaving only a few dozen souls behind.
"I am the Thunder Venerable of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. If you kill me, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion will never let you off!"
After Wind Venerable and the others were killed, everyone was silent for a moment. After a while, a tall Dou Zun in the crowd, dressed in silver robes and looking to be around forty or fifty years old, spoke up and made a threat.
"Yeah?"
"Indeed! Besides, my disciple Feng Qing Er is Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, a powerful magical beast family. If you kill me, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan will certainly not let you off the hook!"
In fact, after saying these words, Thunder Venerable felt uneasy. In his opinion, although this kid in front of him was not afraid of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, he could not possibly be unafraid of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.
He's gambling!
He was betting that the kid might let him go out of fear of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.
"Heh, Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, Thunder Venerable, you said I wiped you all out, so how would the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan know that I killed you?"
Huo Xuan sneered and said, "Eliminating everyone who knows the truth would make it a perfect assassination. Then, even if they want to take revenge on you, they won't have anyone to target."
"Furthermore, your apprentice Feng Qing Er should have entered the Ancient Ruins with you, but why haven't you seen her since?"
"Could it be..." Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through Thunder Venerable's mind, but he immediately shook his head and said, "That's impossible!"
"I killed her long ago!"
After saying that, Huo Xuan conjured another Fire Lotus and dealt with Thunder Venerable and the others.
"I have important matters to attend to, so I will not join in their games!"
After dealing with Thunder Venerable and the others, Huo Xuan felt a bit bored. Now he just wanted to get rid of these people as soon as possible and leave the Ancient Ruins.
Sensing the powerful killing intent emanating from Huo Xuan, everyone in the hall chose to flee without hesitation.
"Have you forgotten that this space has been completely sealed off by me? If you hadn't come to the Ancient Ruins, you wouldn't have lost your lives. Your greed has cost you your lives!"
With a flash, Huo Xuan charged into the crowd, unleashing a havoc and killing indiscriminately, each move claiming a life. A bloody storm erupted within the hall, blood splattering and dripping onto the floor, which, as if repainted, had been covered in crimson...
"The harvest was pretty good!"
"Indeed, killing and robbing is more practical than treasure hunting." Huo Xuan sighed as he looked at the dozen or so Storage Ring in his hand.
Putting away the Storage Ring containing a large number of treasures, Huo Xuan stepped over the corpses and trod on the pools of blood on the ground, leaving the hall.
This trip to the Ancient Ruins yielded far more than Huo Xuan had expected. Not only did he successfully acquire a Heavenly Tier Skill, but he also obtained an extremely precious Pill Beast. If this thing is properly nurtured, it will eventually become Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, at which point it will possess the miraculous effect of greatly enhancing cultivation.
In addition to these treasures, he also obtained a large number of miscellaneous items that he had not yet had time to sort out.
"We have exceeded our mission objectives for this trip; it's time to head back."
