Luo Zheng's physical body had just returned to the temple in Heaven Palace when he saw the Heaven Palace disciples standing guard at the entrance, all of them grim and ready for battle.
That formation clearly meant that a powerful enemy had invaded.
"What happened?"
Luo Zheng stepped forward and grabbed one of the Heaven Palace disciples to ask.
Although these Heaven Palace disciples did not know the identity of this physical body, they more or less understood that he was on Heaven Palace's side.
"Y-you weren't here just now... but something major happened!" the Heaven Palace disciple said.
"What major event? Did the Youxiong Clan come looking for trouble again?" Luo Zheng asked.
The Youxiong Clan had suffered such a huge loss that they should have learned their lesson. It was impossible for them to cause trouble for Heaven Palace at a time like this. Could an outsider have invaded instead?
The Heaven Palace disciple shook his head. "Someone did come looking for trouble, but it wasn't the Youxiong Clan... We don't know where this fellow clan member came from, but he can actually devour other people's souls directly!"
"Devour souls directly?" Luo Zheng was startled as well.
"Yes!" The Heaven Palace disciple nodded. "That fellow came straight here demanding Soul Crystals. We refused to give him any, so he directly devoured one of our people. We retreated into the temple after that."
The temple was filled with powerful restrictions. Other than Luo Zheng's physical body, which could come and go freely, even the most powerful souls would be burned to ashes.
"And then he left?" Luo Zheng asked again.
"No." The Heaven Palace disciple shook his head. "He went over to the Youxiong Clan's side. He probably went to demand Soul Crystals there too..."
How could Soul Crystals
