The Enraged Star-Picking Old Ghost

The Soul Hall didn't have a good reputation among the major powers in Central Plains, so after hearing just a few words from Zi Hong, they were already certain that this matter was definitely related to them.

There's no way around it; everyone's eyes are sharp enough to see what the Soul Hall has done.

Star-Picking Old Ghost Zhaixing glanced at everyone present, many of whom looked as if they wanted to devour him alive, which made his scalp tingle.

After all, that attack just now killed quite a few people, and now those grudges are all pinned on him...

"Damn it! Are all those people from the Heaven Nether Sect dead?!"

Upon discovering that he had no allies at all, Star-Picking Old Ghost Zhaixing cursed inwardly.

However, he was wrong, because not all the people of the Heaven Nether Sect were dead; at least two of the three Sect Masters of the lower three sects were still alive...

At times like these, they all wished they could disappear into the shadows, lest they attract the attention of the evil spirits of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. So naturally, they wouldn't take the initiative to stand with the Soul Hall, which was like a rat crossing the street.

However, the Heaven Nether Sect also suffered heavy losses this time. Not only did an elder like Senluo Ghost Venerable, a Six-Star Dou Zun, perish, but most of the powerful figures who came with him were also lost. They don't know how to explain this when they return!

The Star-Picking Old Ghost steadied himself and coldly snorted at the crowd in a fearless voice, "Let's talk about assigning responsibility after we're safe..."

Have you forgotten that the Dou Sheng remains are still inside?

If I'm not mistaken, those Dou Sheng remains should be a wisp of his will left behind before his death. Although it seems irresistible, it's actually not difficult to deal with. As long as we join forces, we can definitely suppress it."

The Soul Hall suffered such heavy losses this time. If the mission is not completed, he probably won't be able to live when he gets back. Therefore, Star-Picking Old Ghost still needs to rely on the power of these people to achieve his goal!

"Now that all ten scrolls have been claimed, what are we still doing here? We'd better get out of here quickly..."

Among the crowd, someone spoke for the majority of people at that moment.

Based on what just happened, who among these people isn't afraid?

"Want to leave? It's not that easy! This will will surely eliminate everyone who has entered the Ruins. Who among you is confident that you can escape its pursuit? If you try to escape, I'm afraid none of you will make it out alive!" Star-Picking Old Ghost continued to coax and intimidate.

Just as everyone was in a panic, a large plume of blood-red mist suddenly surged out of the hall, as if some kind of primordial beast was about to appear, and a chill immediately enveloped everyone's hearts.

"Crunch, crunch..."

A grating sound of bones grinding together rang out.

A skeleton, its entire body stained crimson with blood mist, slowly emerged from the mist and appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Those who trespass on the Ruins shall die!"

The crimson skull stopped a hundred meters in front of the crowd, slowly raised its head, and a blood-red light flashed in its empty eyes. An ancient and hoarse, indifferent voice echoed throughout the entire hall.

In an instant, everyone who was swept over by those dark eyeholes felt as if they were being watched by the Grim Reaper, and cold sweat instantly soaked their backs.

"Be careful, he's absorbing that blood mist!" Tang Zhen shouted immediately as he looked at the skeleton enveloped in the blood mist.

Mo Tang stepped forward at this opportune moment, saying, "We can't wait any longer, otherwise he'll only get stronger! Star-Picking Old Ghost, why aren't you making a move yet!"

These words made Star-Picking Old Ghost Zhaixing want to bite Mo Tang to death!

Damn it, you know it's this serious and you still don't do anything, but you have to drag me into this?

But since he was the least popular person at that time, he had to grit his teeth and go for it.

"Alright! I'll make the first move! But listen up, we're all in the same boat now. If we don't destroy the skeleton, none of us will leave here alive!"

He roared at the crowd, and as expected, Star-Picking Old Ghost Zhaixing roared and struck the skeleton with a palm.

Seeing this, Mo Tang's lips curled up slightly, and he became a spectator with great interest...

This Star-Picking Old Ghost had already exhausted himself in the battle with Mo Tang, so how could he possibly hold out for too long now?

Seeing those guys behind him calmly watching the show, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger...

"What are you doing? Make your move!"

Hearing the old man's roar, Tang Zhen, the Valley Master of Blazing Flame Valley, whose strength was still relatively intact, looked at Mo Tang and said, "Pavilion Master Mo, nowadays only our two families can take action. How about the four of us—you, me, Elder Huang Xuan, and Elder Zi Hong —go to help that Star-Picking Old Ghost?"

Tang Zhen himself was a five- Dou Zun, and with the power of the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire Heavenly Flames, his combat strength was no weaker than that of Six-Star Dou Zun like the Black-White Heavenly Venerate.

As for the other powerful individuals present, they were not qualified to join this most dangerous battle. It would be good for them to deal with the human puppets that had already rushed out.

Mo Tang naturally did not object to such a proposal.

Nodding to Xiao Yi Xian and giving Bi Wu a wink, Mo Tang, along with Huang Xuan, Zi Hong, and Tang Zhen, charged directly into the battle ahead.

With the addition of the four, Star-Picking Old Ghost breathed a sigh of relief...

He was almost beaten to death by this skeleton!

Although this Dou Sheng remains was incredibly hard, it showed no signs of damage even after being attacked by numerous powerful figures...

But Mo Tang and the others noticed that each time their attacks struck the skeleton, the latter's scarlet eyes would dim a little.

If they can maintain this level of attack, they will eventually exhaust the last bit of Soul Imprint within the skeleton...

However, as the attacks intensified, Mo Tang became increasingly vigilant.

If he's not mistaken, this thing might unleash Dou Technique at the last moment...

Moreover, it's Heaven Tier Dou Technique!

To Mo Tang's surprise, just as he was about to think of Heaven Tier Dou Technique, the skeleton suddenly stopped all its movements...

"Damn it! This is bad!"

Mo Tang immediately knew something was wrong.

Without a second thought, she unleashed her Heavenly Phoenix Wings, instantly appearing beside Zi Hong and grabbing her slender waist...

Zi Hong was startled by this sudden scene, and when he saw who it was, he was filled with doubt.

Before she could ask a question, Mo Tang reappeared behind Huang Xuan, grabbed his shoulder, and shouted, "Back off!"

He himself, along with two others, had retreated hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye!
