Battle Against Soul Hall

"Heh heh heh, Fang Yan, your Fiery Demon Valley has really suffered badly."

Chilling laughter drifted from the black mist. The hoarse yet somewhat shrill voice scraped against the ears like stone over glass, making goosebumps rise involuntarily.

Quite a few people frowned at once.

"Reporting to Protector Xuan, Jia Nan Academy colluded with other factions and launched a sneak attack while our Fiery Demon Valley was unprepared, which was why we suffered a loss. I ask that the two Protectors lend us a hand."

Anyone with eyes could see that Jia Nan Academy was completely suppressing Fiery Demon Valley.

Moreover, every battle had been a direct confrontation. No one had attacked from behind.

Yet in Fang Yan's mouth, Jia Nan Academy had become despicable, guilty of launching a sneak attack that caused them to suffer.

To twist black into white and spout nonsense so casually without the slightest change in expression—people this shameless were rare indeed.

"Helping you is no problem, but..."

Protector Gui's sinister voice emerged.

"Protector Gui, rest assured. Our Fiery Demon Valley will certainly offer generous thanks."

The people of Soul Hall were greedy as well. Fang Yan clearly understood their nature and hurriedly spoke.

"Since Fiery Demon Valley is being so sensible, this Protector will lend you a hand."

Hearing Fang Yan's words, Protector Gui smiled in satisfaction. They were not people who acted for free.

Whenever they took action, they had to gain something
