The Flustered Old Ghost Zhaixing
Above, a faint, aged voice, mingled with powerful Dou Qi, slowly drifted into the In The City once more, finally resounding clearly in everyone's ears.
"Fine, since you won't show up, then I'll slaughter the entire Ye Family as well."
After saying this, to avoid any unforeseen complications, Old Ghost Zhaixing decided to take action himself, directly condensing his Dou Qi, causing the entire sky to distort as if it were about to shatter.
Two minutes ago, the entire city was in turmoil because of this, and the Ye Family was also extremely unsettled. All the members of the Ye Family stared in disbelief at the scene in the sky, especially Ye Zhong and several elders, whose faces turned pale.
"Hall of Souls Elder..."
Ye Zhong's lips trembled slightly. Let alone the Hall of Souls Elder, any one of the people behind him was enough to destroy the Ye Family. Now, with him personally taking action, the Ye Family...
"The people from the Hall of Souls are so arrogant, aren't they afraid of retaliation from our Pill Tower?" An elder opened his mouth, speaking in alarm.
The Hall of Souls is causing trouble for Xiao Ming. Not to mention Xiao Ming, even the Ye Family, one of the Pill Tower's Five Great Families Pill Tower, would not stand idly by if they were wiped out.
In truth, the Hall of Souls isn't afraid of the Pill Tower at all. The Hall of Souls dared to cause trouble at the Pill Gathering, attempting to destroy Holy Pill City, so why would it fear the Pill Tower's retaliation?
Moreover, the Hall of Souls is always up to no good, so if they stir up more hatred, it's like having too many lice and not being afraid of the Hall of Souls, or having too many debts and not worrying about them.
"What's there to panic about? It's not like we're asking your Ye Family to fight them to the death."
Amidst Ye Zhong and the others' panic, a faint voice rang out. They turned their gazes and saw a beautiful figure slowly emerge in the courtyard ahead—it was Medusa.
Ye Zhong and the others dared not be negligent in the slightest towards Medusa. They could not afford to offend the Hall of Souls, but they also could not afford to offend the person in front of them, regardless of her level of Five-Star Dou Zong or her status as Xiao Ming's companion. At the moment, they could only wear bitter faces. Being sandwiched between these two behemoths was the most painful thing for them.
After Medusa appeared, she merely frowned slightly as she gazed at the distant sky. Her gaze seemed to pierce through the distance, stopping directly on the Old Ghost Zhaixing.
"Dou Zun, huh? I wonder where Xiao Ming got his enemies from..."
"The Hall of Souls is truly a persistent ghost."
As Medusa murmured to herself, a soft voice suddenly rang out from the side. Medusa turned her head slightly and saw a young figure standing on the eaves, his body straight as a spear. Judging from his appearance, who else could it be but Xiao Ming?
Beside her, Xiao Yi Xian, dressed in a plain white robe, exuded a sharp and unfathomable Aura, a departure from her usual Aura.
"Why would someone from the Hall of Souls come looking for you?" Medusa moved swiftly and appeared beside Xiao Ming, asking.
"This is a long story, so let's not go into it. Let's deal with the immediate problem first," Xiao Ming said slowly.
Medusa glanced at him indifferently, and seeing that Xiao Ming showed no anxiety, she didn't say anything more. She knew that Xiao Ming was no ordinary person, and that his composure must be due to something he was relying on.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, two Dazzling Gold Puppet appeared beside Xiao Ming.
Medusa knew that the puppet before her was equivalent to Dou Zun Expert. Adding to the one she had summoned earlier, that made three puppets, plus...
Medusa glanced at Xiao Yi Xian; adding Xiao Yi Xian, who had successfully broken through, made a total of four Dou Zun.
Four against one, Medusa suddenly really wanted to know the old man's expression later.
Just as Medusa was pondering to herself, she suddenly heard exclamations from the crowd. In the sky, a vast black mist surged and condensed into a massive Black Mist Palm Print, a hundred feet in size, which slammed down hard on the Ye Family.
Wherever the black palm print passed, the space rippled violently, as if it were about to shatter. If this palm were to land, the Ye Family would surely be razed to the ground.
In Ye City, countless people gazed at the palm print, feeling incredibly fortunate that the Hall of Souls's target was not them.
"Go!"
At the same time, with a sharp shout from Xiao Ming, three golden figures shot through the air and collided fiercely with the Black Mist Palm Print.
"Bang!" The terrifying Black Mist Palm Print was easily shattered by the three puppets.
"Ye Zhong, rest assured, this matter arose because of me, and I will not allow it to implicate your Ye Family."
Xiao Ming turned his head and smiled slightly at Ye Zhong and the others in the courtyard, whose faces were pale. Then he turned his gaze to Xiao Yi Xian and said, "Xian'er, come with me upstairs to take a look."
"Yes, I must teach this old man a lesson!" Xiao Yi Xian gritted her teeth.
Medusa's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything. With her current strength, following them would only cause trouble; it was better to stay put.
Xiao Ming stepped through the void, soaring straight into the sky. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, he stopped not far from the Old Ghost Zhaixing, with Xiao Yi Xian and three puppets surrounding him.
"Is that Xiao Ming? He doesn't flinch even when facing Dou Zun. He truly lives up to the rumors, possessing extraordinary talent!"
"The puppets surrounding him seem quite formidable; they so easily dealt with the Hall of Souls Elder's attack!"
"Hehehe, it seems the Hall of Souls has really messed up this time!"
"That Xiao Ming is so handsome! If only I could spend a night with him..."
"Xiao Ming does have some guts, but isn't he just too much of a pretty boy?"
Xiao Ming's appearance aroused various thoughts among the people of Ye City: some were curious, some admired him, and of course, some despised and disdained him.
"So you are Xiao Ming?" When the Old Ghost Zhaixing saw Xiao Ming appear, he stopped what he was doing and scrutinized Xiao Ming's body with his sinister eyes.
He finally understood why the four Venerable Elder hadn't returned. He had initially thought it was because of the red-robed elder who was with Xiao Ming, but he hadn't expected Xiao Ming to have other trump cards up his sleeve.
Four Dou Zun! And not just Dou Zun One Star, but all Two-Star Dou Zun or higher. This is troublesome. Even if he is Five Star Dou Zun, he can't handle so many Dou Zun!
"You know perfectly well what I mean. You've probably known my portrait by heart for a long time, haven't you?" Xiao Ming sneered. "You haven't learned your lesson after killing four of your Venerable Elder a few months ago, and you still dare to send people to their deaths. In that case..."
Just as Xiao Ming was about to make a move, the Old Ghost Zhaixing said, "Wait, Xiao Ming, there might have been some misunderstandings between you and our Hall of Souls before. Our Hall Master admires you very much. If you join our Hall of Souls, our previous misunderstandings will be wiped clean, and we will even vigorously cultivate you to become our Hall of Souls's Chief Alchemist... Die!"
Halfway through his sentence, Old Ghost Zhaixing suddenly launched an attack. At this point, he certainly didn't think Xiao Ming would be attracted by what he said; he had only been trying to lull Xiao Ming into a false sense of security.
