Myriad Soul Devouring Spirit Array
Deep within the Desolate Ancient Region.
A huge Bodhi Ancient Tree stands alone in the center of the grassland, with a vast expanse of pure energy spreading outwards from it, creating a truly magnificent sight.
Although the group that came to explore this time did not gain anything, they also did not suffer any losses, unlike the previous people who were corrupted into puppets. So from this perspective, they can be considered lucky.
Unfortunately, the human heart is never satisfied...
Just as everyone was about to leave, their expressions suddenly changed. The space suddenly began to twist violently, like a prison, sealing them inside...
Mo Tang and the others turned their heads away with grim expressions, staring at the source of the spatial fluctuations.
All that could be seen was the Hun Yu, who was smiling broadly as he tossed a broken jade slip onto the ground...
"Spatial Jade Slip!"
Gu Nan Hai frowned and his voice came from the direction of the Gu Clan.
"The Soul Clan is indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing; they've been preparing to attack us for a long time?"
But that doesn't seem to make sense...
For the Soul Clan, taking them down would come at a much higher price; such a large-scale operation would be a complete waste of resources.
Gu Xun'er watched all this with a serious expression. After hearing Gu Nan Hai's words, she retorted in a deep voice, "No! Their target is not us... Their target is— the Bodhi Ancient Tree!"
As soon as Gu Xun'er finished speaking, a huge crack was torn open in the direction from which the spatial fluctuations came, and then figures quickly walked out from inside.
As the figure moved forward, four vast auras, like a storm, suddenly swept across this Void Space...
Even under such a vast storm, a Four-star Dou Sheng look flashed across Gu Nan Hai's eyes.
"Soul Clan Dou Sheng Expert!"
The Soul Clan's Battle Saint level expert, who had never shown himself before, finally appeared, and his appearance immediately gave everyone present a shock!
A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Tang's eyes.
"Four Dou Sheng of two stars or above, the Soul Clan is really going all out!"
Of these people, apart from the Great Heavenly Venerate of the Soul Hall, Mo Tang did not recognize the other three. They must be powerful individuals sent by the Soul Clan.
However, Mo Tang was very curious: where were the Soul Hall Master and the Deputy Hall Master? Why hadn't these two appeared yet?
"Hun Yu, your efficiency this time is really low. Why did it take so long to send out your spatial imprint summoning?"
Following the four dark figures, a young man with black hair and black eyes slowly emerged from the space and directly questioned Hun Yu.
This greatly surprised Mo Tang ...
This Hun Yu is the possessor of the Divine Bloodline of the Soul Clan, and at such a young age he is already Half-Saint. His status in the Soul Clan must be quite high. Even Dou Sheng Expert probably wouldn't question him in such a tone.
More importantly, the person who spoke didn't look much older than Hun Yu, but his strength was a genuine Early Two-star Dou Sheng...
This Soul Clan is truly... terrifying!
Hun Yu's expression also turned sour when confronted with the questioning.
Strictly speaking, his mission was actually a failure...
With a cold snort, Hun Yu said to the man in a chilling voice, "Do you think this Bodhi Ancient Tree is so simple? Besides, there's a true Dou Sheng Expert here..."
These words sounded forceful, but they were actually just an explanation, which also reflected that Hun Yu dared not refute the Soul Clan youth in front of him.
Upon seeing the person before them, the faces of the Gu Clan members immediately turned extremely grim.
"Hun Feng... I didn't expect him to come too!"
Hun Feng, the second member of the younger generation of the Soul Clan to possess Divine Bloodline, boasts terrifying strength at the level of Two-star Dou Sheng. Most importantly, barring any major unforeseen circumstances, he should be the next patriarch of the Soul Clan ...
Unexpectedly, the appearance of the ancient Bodhi Ancient Tree has attracted him out of the world.
"Miss, be careful in a moment! We must not let the Soul Clan get the Bodhi Ancient Tree!"
If the Soul Clan were to subdue the Bodhi Ancient Tree, wouldn't they be able to mass-produce Dou Sheng? At that time, let alone the Gu Clan, even if all the other clans joined forces, they might not be able to withstand the Soul Clan's terrifying strength!
Gu Xun'er nodded, fully aware of the seriousness of the situation.
Her gaze shifted to Mo Tang and the group of Old Ancestor Huoyun beside her...
At this point, apart from Gu Nan Hai, only Mo Tang, Yao Ming, and Old Ancestor Huoyun are qualified to stand up and stop the Soul Hall.
The strongest members of the other clans, such as the Yan Clan and the Yao Clan, only sent one Advanced Half-Saint. They never expected the Soul Hall to send so many powerful individuals.
However, getting these people to agree to join forces with us to stop the Soul Clan will probably not be so easy!
On the other side, after hearing Hun Yu's words, Hun Feng did not press the matter further. He turned to the four people beside him and said, "Four elders, to avoid any unforeseen complications, immediately form an array to stop the Bodhi Ancient Tree from escaping!"
If this Bodhi Ancient Tree were to burrow back into the ground, not only would they be unable to find it, but even the Hun Tiandi might not be able to locate it again...
As Hun Feng finished speaking, the leader of the four Soul Clan experts was the first to leap out, followed by the other three who also split into three directions and flashed away, surrounding the massive Bodhi Ancient Tree.
"Myriad Soul Devouring Spirit Array!"
A chilling shout erupted from the four men, followed by a surge of eerie black mist that surged forth from their bodies and rapidly spread outwards...
The black mist was filled with an unusual chill, and faint, piercing screams could be heard emanating from within it.
Mo Tang couldn't help but frown upon seeing this. The Soul Clan's fighting style was truly monstrous. They actually relied on consuming the souls of powerful individuals to set up formations, directly severing the Bodhi Ancient Tree from all connections with the outside world.
However, to think that one can capture the Bodhi Ancient Tree simply by relying on these methods would be to underestimate this sacred object that has existed since ancient times.
The Bodhi Ancient Tree's crystal-clear, emerald-green canopy shook violently, and then boundless pure energy was released from the canopy, instantly colliding with the black mist, causing the entire formation to shake violently.
"You beast! You dare to resist!"
The Soul Hall Saint, who was in charge of presiding over the formation, changed his expression and then roared angrily.
The handprints shifted with lightning speed, and suddenly the sound of chains echoed from the cold, black mist.
"Sizzle! Sizzle!"
The black mist rippled, and then hundreds of thick black chains, each tens of meters long, shot out from within the mist, piercing through the clear energy barrier. Like giant pythons, they swept out in all directions, constantly coiling around the ancient tree's massive branches, eventually forming a giant net that sealed off the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
