Descends upon Langya Prefecture! Overawes Langya Hall!

Central Martial Region.

Qingzhou.

Langya Prefecture.

Because one of the continent's Lower Seven Sects, Langya Hall, was located here, Langya Prefecture was one of Qingzhou's top prefectures, enough to rank among Qingzhou's top three.

Langya Prefecture covered an extremely vast territory, spanning ten thousand li in every direction.

At the center of this vast expanse stood a city known as Tianding City.

Langya Hall was located within Tianding City.

Tianding City was exceedingly prosperous. At a glance, Soul Masters could be seen everywhere; there were no ordinary mortals at all.

That was because Langya Hall had a rule: only Soul Masters could set foot in Tianding City.

Not to mention little Tianding City, even across the vast Langya Prefecture and Qingzhou itself, few dared defy Langya Hall's rules. Ordinary mortals naturally dared not violate them.

However, after so many years of growth, Tianding City had long since developed another rule: Soul Masters from outside the city could not enter unless they were Soul Emperors of level sixty or above.

Thus, Soul Masters below level sixty were almost never seen within Tianding City.

Of course, it was better not to see them. Seeing one was even more troublesome, for it meant they were natives of Tianding City.

Those born in Tianding City more or less had some connection to Langya Hall.

Perhaps a talented member of their clan had joined Langya Hall, perhaps a beautiful woman from their clan had caught the eye of a Langya Hall genius and become his Dao companion, or perhaps some ancestor in their family held a position such as steward or elder within Langya Hall.

After all, Langya Hall had been passed down for a long time. Tianding City had long been forged into an impregnable stronghold by Langya Hall.

It was not a nation, yet its cohesion was absolutely tighter than that of the nations that had once existed on the continent.

Passing through Tianding City and reaching its center, the area spanning over a hundred li was all Langya Hall's territory.

This place was like a kingdom within a city, with strict hierarchy. The deeper one went, the more prosperous it became.

Yet beneath this prosperity, the atmosphere inside a great hall was rather stifling at this moment.

Many figures were seated in the hall, each radiating an astonishing aura.

Every one of them was a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.

Especially the few at the front of the hall—their auras were so powerful that they had already entered the realm of Super Douluo.

After a long while, someone in the hall spoke.

"We thought that since we received word in secret that Lin Langya was going to seek refuge with the Empire, he would bring valuable gifts with him. Yet after killing him, we found nothing of value!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another person immediately said, "What do you mean by valuable items? Everyone present knows perfectly well that we merely wanted to see whether he had any clues regarding the Azure God Hall!"

"That's right. Back then, Lin Langya's ancestor suddenly broke away from Langya Hall. At first, we paid it no mind. Only later, through certain clues, did we learn that perhaps that ancestor of Lin Langya had found a trace of information about the Azure God Hall!"

"Unfortunately, with them in Qingzhou, we cannot send too many powerhouses out. Otherwise, if word leaked, forget searching for clues—even we would be in danger. That was why Lin Langya's ancestor was able to remain hidden for so many years!"

"Yes. By the time we found his trail again, he was already dead. His descendant, Lin Langya, had established an Auction House, and his strength was not weak either. He had five Title Douluos!"

"Five Title Douluos are nothing but ants. If not for them preventing us from deploying too many Title Douluos, we would never have taken such a conciliatory approach. Who would have thought Lin Langya would actually agree to hand over eighty percent of his profits as tribute!"

"Say, is it possible that Lin Langya himself never knew about that clue?"

"It's possible, but unless we turn the entire Langya Auction House upside down, we cannot draw a conclusion for now!"

"Alas, information about the Azure God Hall is far too terrifying. Even the slightest leak would shake the entire continent. We can only act in secret, and they have been monitoring all of Qingzhou, further restricting our movements. The limitations are simply too great!"

"If you ask me, we should just fight them. With the strength of Langya Hall, no matter how strong they are, we can still make them pay dearly!"

The people in the hall spoke one after another.

Finally, the middle-aged man seated at the very center of the hall, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke.

"Fight? With what?"

"They are very likely the Azure God Hall's guardians in the outside world. There is more than one Peerless Douluo among them!"

"And if they truly are the Azure God Hall's guardians, they may very well possess Godly Martial Souls!"

"Among the Peerless Douluos who possess Godly Martial Souls, who here can withstand even one move from them?"

"Have you all forgotten what happened when Su Yao descended upon Langya Hall a few years ago?"

The middle-aged man's words made everyone recall what had happened a few years earlier.

At the time, Su Yao of Papal Hall had just emerged and established the Empire.

Many forces had refused to submit.

They had intended to unite against her.

However, somehow, Su Yao discovered the news.

So Su Yao personally came to their door.

That day.

Su Yao came to Langya Hall with only seven people from Papal Hall, and Langya Hall was naturally delighted to see this.

After all, this was Langya Hall's headquarters. Su Yao had brought only seven people with her—was she not courting death?

Without any hesitation, Langya Hall's many Title Douluos attacked together.

Yet with a single Angelic Divine Light, Su Yao directly intimidated them all into place, sending their minds reeling and leaving them unable to move.

And that was merely Su Yao's sixth soul skill.

She had not even used her Martial Soul Avatar.

It was from that moment on that they understood just how powerful Su Yao was. Below the Peerless Douluo realm, probably no one could withstand even a single soul skill from her.

If Su Yao had not feared that Langya Hall would ring the Langya Bell and summon all the Soul Masters of Tianding City, or if she had not merely come to intimidate them,

then perhaps Langya Hall at that time, even if it had not been destroyed, would have suffered grievous losses and fallen from the ranks of top forces—perhaps even out of the first-rate forces entirely.

And Su Yao possessed the legendary Godly Angel Martial Soul.

If those people also possessed Godly Martial Souls, facing them would be no different from facing Su Yao.

Everyone fell silent.

Yet this only made them desire the clues to the Azure God Hall even more, so that they could enter it.

That was said to be the dwelling place of true Divine Beings. If they could obtain some opportunity there, perhaps they could undergo a heaven-shaking transformation.

Just then.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"Langya Hall, get out here and die!"

For a moment.

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

Since when had Langya Hall's reputation become so weak?

How could just anyone want to trample on Langya Hall's head?

Su Yao was one thing.

After all, she was a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo with the Godly Angel Martial Soul.

But what were these others?

Fury immediately appeared on the faces of the powerhouses in the hall.

"How dare you!"

"I would like to see who it is that dares openly provoke Langya Hall!"

"Hmph! This old man has not acted for years. Have people already forgotten my reputation?"

In an instant.

The many powerhouses in the hall vanished. Their figures flashed, and they had already appeared in midair.

Ahead of them, a flying shuttle soul tool hovered in the air.

"An eighth-grade flying soul tool dares provoke Langya Hall?"
