One Against Five

The resurrection of Yao Lao would take a considerable amount of time, so Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan remained inside the Stone Tower to await Yao Lao resurrection.

This wait lasted for a full ten days.

On this day, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan were studying the Great Heaven Creation Palm.

Suddenly, the two noticed that the entire Stone Tower trembled violently. Immediately afterward, a cold shout filled with murderous intent resounded across the sky.

"Starfall Pavilion, hand over Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan, Yao Chen, or we will slaughter this place today!"

"Boom!"

A loud shout rang out, and Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan's expressions changed drastically. They stood up abruptly and stared coldly at the stone platform.

"Is it the Soul Hall?"

Xiao Yan's face darkened as he asked.

"Yes, most likely!"

Xiao Yuan's expression was also grim. After annihilating the Soul Hall's group in the Beast Region, he knew that the Soul Hall would not let the matter rest.

Unexpectedly, it came so quickly! On Starfall Peak, all the Starfall Pavilion Disciples stood up at this moment, looking at the distant sky with doubt and uncertainty. Because of the array formed by the falling meteorite, they could not see the situation outside, but they could vaguely sense that Starfall Pavilion seemed to be in great trouble today.

On a plaza atop the mountain, Wind Venerable and the others gathered, their faces solemn as they gazed at the sky.

"The people from the Soul Hall have arrived," Heavenly Flame Venerable said in a deep voice, frowning.

"There are many powerful auras outside. This time, it seems the Soul Hall truly intends to massacre the Starfall Pavilion as a warning to others."

A serious expression also appeared on Cai Lin's face as she spoke.

Wind Venerable nodded slightly, but his expression remained quite calm. He knew that this day would come sooner or later; it was just a matter of time.

As he stepped out slowly, Wind Venerable changed the hand seals in his hands, causing the Starfall Great Array in the sky to fluctuate. Then, as space slowly distorted, the situation outside became clearly visible to everyone.

"Hiss"

When everyone saw the scene outside, they couldn't help but gasp. The area outside the Starfall Pavilion was now completely shrouded in a thick black mist. Not far in front of them, nearly a hundred figures stood on the black mist. In addition, there were some people who did not appear to be from the Soul Hall. Their sinister gazes seemed to pierce through the formation and see the Wind Venerable and others hiding inside.

"The Eight Tianzun Prisoner, Tian Ming Zi?"

Upon seeing the leader, Wind Venerable's expression hardened. He hadn't expected the Tianming Sect to join forces with the Soul Hall against the Starfall Pavilion. This was a huge problem! "Pavilion Master Feng, what should we do now? The Soul Hall has launched a massive attack, and judging from their momentum, it doesn't seem like they're just here to demand someone."

An elder from the Starfall Pavilion asked with a somewhat frightened expression.

"What's the panic? The Soul Hall is no pushover. They're planning to massacre the Starfall Pavilion. Otherwise, why would they send three Heavenly Venerable experts?" Wind Venerable frowned, shouted, and then looked around the Star Realm, gazing at the thousands of Starfall Pavilion Disciples. He said in a deep voice, "Therefore, there is no other way but to fight to the death!"

"You are all elders of the Starfall Pavilion. Today is an unprecedented calamity for the Starfall Pavilion. What are your plans?"

Wind Venerable turned his intense gaze to the many elders of the Starfall Pavilion and said.

"Sect Master Feng, Starfall Pavilion is our root. We have devoted no less effort to it than anyone else. No matter who tries to destroy it, we will fight to the death!"

The elders, their faces solemn, shouted in unison.

"Very well, Feng Xian's judgment is sound. Since that's the case, let's fight to the death today. I want to see just how domineering this Soul Hall can be!"

Wind Venerable's powerful shout boosted the morale of all the Starfall Pavilion Disciples. For many of them, Starfall Pavilion was their root. If even their root was destroyed, how could they face walking in the Central State in the future?

"Wind Venerable, I advise you to obediently hand over the person. This Starfall Pavilion's grand formation cannot protect you!"

The Eight Tianzun Prisoner stared sinisterly at the space below. Although it was just a Sea of Forest, he understood that it was all because of the Starfall Great Array.

The cold shout fell, but it didn't elicit any response. Seeing this, the Eight Tianzun Prisoner couldn't help but sneer. He turned his gaze to Tian Ming Zi beside him and said, "Brother Tianming, let's join forces and break the great formation. Our trip has caused too much of a stir, and many forces are probably following us with their spies. So today, we must use bloody means to suppress the Starfall Pavilion and let the other forces on the continent know that my Soul Hall and your Tianming Sect are not people that just anyone can mess with!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Ming Zi nodded slightly, glanced down, and then raised his hand and clenched it tightly into the space below.

As the two grasped, terrifying Space Power rapidly spread out. Three invisible hands gripped the Void Space, and then light emerged. An invisible light shield, shimmering with starlight, appeared out of thin air in everyone's sight.

"Break it!"

With a cold shout, the Eight Tianzun Prisoner clenched his fist, and the invisible hand slammed down hard onto the invisible light barrier.

"Bang!"

With a single punch, ripples spread across the light barrier, and a thunderous roar echoed through the sky.

"Bang bang bang!"

Following the Eight Tianzun Prisoner, Tian Ming Zi's terrifying gust of wind swept down from the sky, then poured down on the light barrier like a torrential rain. Under the fierce attack of two powerful experts with strength at the peak of the Eight Star Dou Zun, the light barrier became shaky and on the verge of collapse almost instantly.

Within the Star Realm, all the disciples of the Starfall Pavilion, watching the constantly trembling light barrier, gripped their weapons with sudden, forceful force.

"The great formation can't withstand the attacks of those three." Venerable Wind Venerable's expression darkened slightly as he looked at the nearly shattered light barrier. "The Soul Hall has sent five Heavenly Venerable and eight Venerables this time, along with quite a few Dou Zong experts." Wind Venerable's eyes flickered, and then he said in a deep voice, "The eight Dou Zun and the other experts aren't too troublesome, but the Eight Tianzun Prisoner and Tian Ming Zi, as well as the remaining four Heavenly Venerable, are a real problem."

"Hehe, it's not that troublesome. Leave the experts above the Heavenly Venerable level to me, Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Yan. As for the rest, you take your men and hold them off for now."

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Flame Venerable smiled freely, stomped his foot in mid-air, and unleashed an aura at the level of Nine Stars Dou Zun!

"I'll handle the Eight Tianzun Prisoner and the remaining four Heavenly Venerable. I'll trouble Senior Tian Ming Zi. Xiao Yan, you'll have to deal with the remaining Dou Zun expert quickly!"

Just as everyone was silent and at a loss, a calm voice suddenly rang out, and then the white-robed figure that reassured Cai Lin and the others slowly appeared in mid-air above the mountain.

"That's... Young Pavilion Master Xiao Yuan? He's emerged from seclusion!"

As soon as Xiao Yuan appeared, the disciples of the Starfall Pavilion were immediately invigorated. Over the years, Xiao Yuan had truly made a name for himself in Central State, and everyone in the Starfall Pavilion knew of his strength. His appearance was like a powerful stimulant, boosting the morale of the Starfall Pavilion.

"You've emerged from seclusion? Where's Yao Chen?"

Upon seeing Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan suddenly appear, Wind Venerable's face immediately lit up with surprise, and he quickly said...

"It will take more time."

Xiao Yuan slowly shook his head, his gaze fixed on the trembling light barrier. He then turned to the Eight Tianzun Prisoner outside the barrier, his face grim. A cold glint flashed in his dark eyes. "Since you're here, don't expect to leave!" With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yuan retrieved six Dou Zun Puppet from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, separating them into pairs and assigning them to Cai Lin, Qing Lian, and Xiao Yan. Then, raising his gaze, he said softly, "Open the great formation. It's about to break."

Upon hearing this, Wind Venerable nodded, his hand seals shifting, and the light barrier in the sky trembled and slowly dissipated. As the light barrier disappeared, the world gradually darkened, and the black mist that filled the sky appeared close to everyone's eyes.

In the sky, watching the slowly dissipating light barrier, the Eight Tianzun Prisoner smiled coldly. Then, his gaze pierced through space, looking at the gaunt figure standing on the mountain peak. His chilling voice, carrying a bone-chilling coldness, resounded throughout the world.

"Xiao Yuan, Mo Yu's death is inextricably linked to you. Today, I'll see just how capable you are!"

Hearing the sinister laughter of the Eight Tianzun Prisoner, Xiao Yuan remained expressionless as he slowly rose into the air, gazing at the black mist that filled the heavens and earth. Such a grand spectacle had likely already attracted the attention of many forces. According to his guess, the area outside the Starfall Pavilion was probably already filled with spies from other forces.

The Central State Plains is a land of hidden talents and powerful forces, and the struggles between these forces are extremely fierce. As one of the Four Directions Pavilion, Starfall Pavilion has faced numerous challenges since its establishment. However, this time will undoubtedly be the most dangerous one in its history. If it can overcome this challenge, Starfall Pavilion will surely become famous and leave the other three pavilions far behind. But if it fails to overcome this challenge, Starfall Pavilion may be permanently removed from the Central State.

"You'll soon find out what I'm capable of. You really aren't afraid of death to come looking for trouble at this time!"

In the sky, Xiao Yuan looked at the Eight Tianzun Prisoner and said calmly.

"Snort!"

Upon hearing this, the Eight Tianzun Prisoner's expression darkened, and a sinister look gradually emerged in his eyes. He stared at Xiao Yuan, who was suspended in mid-air, and gave a cold smile before suddenly waving his hand.

"Bloodbath at the Starfall Pavilion!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing the cold shout of the Eight Tianzun Prisoner, the numerous Hall of Souls Experts also roared in unison, their powerful Dou Qi erupting forth. Then, amidst a series of clattering sounds, pitch-black chains shot out across the Star Realm.

"Kill!"

Deafening battle cries echoed across the land, and the once peaceful Star Realm was quickly transformed into a scene of overwhelming killing intent.

Xiao Yuan hovered in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the Eight Tianzun Prisoner. When the Hall of Souls Experts who rushed over reached within ten feet of him, they would disperse and head towards the Star Realm.

"Boy, this time, I will personally bring you back to the Soul Hall. Then, I will make you understand what it means to wish you were dead!"

Looking at Xiao Yuan, the Eight Tianzun Prisoner's face twisted in rage. He stomped his foot on the void and charged straight at Xiao Yuan.

As the Eight Tianzun Prisoner began their operation in the prison, Tian Ming Zi exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. Stepping on the void, they walked step by step into the Star Realm. With each step, a vast expanse of Dou Qi, as boundless as the ocean, slowly swept out, causing the energy of this world to surge.

"Laugh!"

Just as Tian Ming Zi was about to enter the Star Realm and wreak havoc, Heavenly Flame Venerable flew over, and with a wave of his arm, flames rose up, stopping him.

"Nine Stars Dou Zun?"

Tian Ming Zi's pupils contracted, and his heart suddenly trembled.

I've never heard of such a person in the Starfall Pavilion.

"Bang!"

As Tian Ming Zi and Heavenly Flame Venerable began their standoff, Xiao Yuan also collided violently with the Eight Tianzun Prisoner like meteorites. The terrifying aftershocks of their Dou Qi qi swept out from mid-air, causing nearby mountains to tumble down with huge rocks.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan and the Eight Tianzun Prisoner were completely clashing head-on. He had already activated the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations Qi Gathering Palaces Imbue Secret Method, and his aura surged to the peak of the Nine Stars Dou Zun.

The Eighth Heavenly Venerate Venerables originally thought that even if Xiao Yuan was strong, relying on the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, he was only a six or Seven Star Dou Zun.

Who knew that Xiao Yuan would give him a big surprise, directly Nine Stars Dou Zun!

If we fail to kill Xiao Yuan this time, it will be even more difficult to kill him later! This boy must not be allowed to live! With killing intent surging in his heart, the palm wind of the Eight Tianzun Prisoner became more and more fierce. The vast battle Dou Qi in his body roared and circulated like a raging flood, and finally burst out along the meridians. Wherever the palm wind passed, space collapsed, and dark Space Rift were filled out, like a ferocious mouth.

The sudden and fierce attack of the Eight Tianzun Prisoner also caught Xiao Yuan's attention. A cold smile appeared on his face. The Eighth Heavenly Venerate Venerables were not as strong as him, yet they wanted to kill him. It was obviously a pipe dream! With a shake of his body, Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body flew out and attacked the remaining four Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Hall.

Although they are all called Heavenly Venerable, there is a considerable gap Heavenly Venerable Heavenly Venerable. None of these four Heavenly Venerable are capable of reaching the Seven Star Dou Zun. The strongest among them is only at the peak of the Six-Star level.

This would be quite difficult for Xiao Yuan in his normal state, but for Xiao Yuan, Nine Stars Dou Zun, even with his Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body, he could restrain those four people on his own!

Seeing this, the Eighth Heavenly Venerate's face turned extremely gloomy. This kid was actually holding back his strength in the fight against him, which was outrageous! At that moment, his Dou Qi qi became even more violent!

"Bang bang bang!"

In mid-air, two figures flickered like ghosts. Every contact would unleash a deafening roar, and bursts of violent energy storms would spread out continuously, echoing in the sky like muffled thunder. Such a fierce battle left onlookers speechless.
