Ice Shards Covering the Ground

This time, the group made no attempt to conceal their movements and headed directly towards the entrance of You Family Village.

Upon arriving at the village entrance, I saw the village signboard broken and lying on the ground, with bloodstains on it.

As the five went deeper, a series of chilling scenes unfolded before them.

The wooden doors and windows, now smashed to pieces, were stained with foul-smelling blood. Upon closer inspection, one could even see bits of flesh and entrails on them.

Even in some corners, there are still many severed limbs.

It's easy to imagine how horrific the massacre must have been.

Then the biggest question arises: what happened to the bodies of all the villagers?

There were quite a few severed limbs and broken bodies in front of us, but we couldn't piece them together to form a complete corpse.

At this moment, Wang Qingya asked, her face pale, "Why did the Evil Soul Master take away all the villagers' bodies after killing them?"

Although she had killed many Soul Beasts, Wang Qingya had never killed a human, let alone Evil Soul Master. Seeing the tragic scene before her, she was already quite lucky that she hadn't vomited.

The five of them had already searched the area in front of the ancestral hall in You Family Village. Looking at the ancestral tablets scattered on the ground, most of which had been burned, Zhou Huan replied, "Evil Soul Master, it's normal for you to take away corpses. Have you forgotten what I told you about Corpse Explosion?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingya felt a chill run down her spine and almost activated her level-five Defensive Soul Tool.

At this moment, Wang Qiu'er said, "This village isn't actually small; it has over 150 households, let's say 700 people. With so many corpses, even if there are still living villagers among them, how many Evil Soul Masters would it take to transport the entire You Family Village? And all of that, without anyone noticing."

Listening to Wang Qiu'er's analysis, Zhou Huan nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. Whether they're dead or alive, it's impossible for Evil Soul Master to move so many villagers in broad daylight."

After a pause, Zhou Huan continued, "Therefore, there is only one explanation: the villagers of You Family Village are still here, and even the Evil Soul Master are still here."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu'er frowned. "But we've searched the entire You Family Village, and there's not a single living person here."

Zhou Huan shook his head and said, "No, we haven't searched the entire village yet, because there's more... underground!"

Underground? Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu'er's eyes lit up, as if she had suddenly thought of something.

Then, Zhou Huan looked at Wang Qingya and Wen Xiaoshuai and said, "Prepare your defenses."

Then, Zhou Huan slowly raised his right palm and slammed it hard onto the floor of the ancestral hall!

Emperor Palm - Great Cold Without Snow!

Instantly, a chilling aura enveloped the entire ancestral hall in a flash, especially the ground where Zhou Huan's right palm had come into contact, which shattered inch by inch as if ice had cracked!

In the blink of an eye, a hole more than a meter wide appeared in front of everyone.

This scene left Wang Qiu'er utterly shocked, her mind filled with countless questions. "This is what you call Agility Attack System Soul Master? Are you taking advantage of me because I'm uneducated and don't understand the different types of Soul Master?"

But at this moment, there was no time for Wang Qiu'er to think too much.

A furious roar echoed from underground, "Who is it?!"

Zhou Huan glanced at Wang Qingya and the others, and said, "I'll go down first, then you can go down. Remember to activate your Defensive Soul Tool at any time."

After saying that, Zhou Huan was the first to jump down.

Next came Wang Qiu'er and Zhang Lexuan, and finally Wen Xiaoshuai and Wang Qingya.

After Zhou Huan down, he discovered that this place was actually a huge cellar with a width of 400 square meters!

There were even quite a few coffins inside.

Of course, these are not the main points right now.

The key point is that Zhou Huan saw the ten Evil Soul Master here, which were the same ten evil energies he had sensed earlier.

The leader of these ten Evil Soul Master was clearly the gray-haired youth standing on the altar.

The gray-haired youth was not good-looking, especially his face, which was as pale as a demon, unlike any living person in the world.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the gray-haired youth's bloodless face suddenly flushed crimson, and he coldly asked, "Who are you?"

Anyone with half a brain would know that the person in front of him was no weakling; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to detect their presence, let alone break through the passage to the cellar from the ground.

You should know that after they came in, they destroyed the mechanism to enter the cellar.

Their original plan was to slaughter the entire You Family Village, then use their corpses and blood to cultivate in this cellar, and once their Soul Power greatly increased, they could break through the barrier and emerge.

Anyway, this place is basically a no-man's-land, and hardly anyone comes to this remote mountain village.

Besides, even if someone came, they'd find it's a dead village and leave. Who would bother digging around looking for someone?

The gray-haired youth felt this was a sure thing, a classic case of the devil being right under your nose.

However, just a few days later, the cellar was breached from top to bottom?

What kind of powerful individual would be so bored as to pay attention to a border village?

Just as he was thinking this, the gray-haired youth saw Zhou Huan, a young man who looked to be no more than twenty years old.

But his strength... is definitely very strong.

Therefore, the gray-haired youth did not take action immediately, but instead asked questions first.

However, it was clear that Zhou Huan had no intention of answering him, but instead asked calmly, "Did you kill the people of You Family Village?"

In fact, after seeing the large number of corpses in the cellar and the foul-smelling Blood Pool, Zhou Huan was 99% certain that these Evil Soul Masters were the perpetrators.

But if we don't ask, isn't there still a 0.1% chance we might be wrongly accusing someone?

Shouldn't you at least ask politely?

You can't just kill them with a single sword strike the moment they arrive, can you?

So Zhou Huan asked.

However, the gray-haired youth's answer was unsurprising, "Friend, I hope you won't meddle in other people's business. You might not be able to handle it alone..."

Before he could finish speaking, two more figures landed in the cellar.

Following closely behind were a man and a woman.

Seeing the four unexpected people appear before him again, the gray-haired youth's eyes grew even colder. However, the pressure from the first young man who came down and the blue-clad woman who followed was too great, so he still chose not to make a move, thinking he should hold back, "How about we leave now and never set foot in the Heavenly Soul Empire again?"

Seeing that the five people in front of him did not react, the gray-haired youth threatened in a sinister tone. "There are corpses all over the place here. If we really start fighting, we might as well all die together!"

"Oh?" Zhou Huan smiled calmly, "Corpse Explosion? Then show me one."

"You—!!" the gray-haired youth roared, "Very well! Then let's see!"

Immediately, a strange white-gray Soul Ring appeared on the gray-haired youth's body. At the same time, one-tenth of the corpses in the cellar began to swell and rushed straight towards Zhou Huan and the others!

However, just as the corpses were halfway there, their bodies swelling into a hemispherical shape, they suddenly deflated with a "poof," and at the same time, all the corpses froze into blocks of ice, followed by a continuous "crackling" sound...

All the corpses in the cellar had been shattered into ice shards.

At this point, let alone Corpse Explosion, not even a complete corpse would remain.

Zhou Huan hadn't made a move until now, not because he was listening to the gray-haired youth's nonsense, but because he had secretly had Snow Empress Bing control the inside of all the corpses.

With the Floating Pagoda as a hiding place, and coupled with the Snow Empress's strength from absorbing Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, these ten minor Evil Soul Master had no way of discovering them.

The gray-haired youth's already pale face turned even paler when he saw all the corpses suddenly shattered into ice shards.

But Evil Soul Master are Evil Soul Master after all. They may have fear, but that doesn't stop them from being ruthless in their desperate fight.

The gray-haired youth said coldly, "Attack together! It's either them or us!"

The battle erupted instantly!

The Soul Ring of all fourteen people in the cellar lit up instantly!

The gray-haired youth was clearly the strongest among the ten Evil Soul Masters; he was actually a Soul Emperor!

Of the remaining nine, only two Soul Kings, while the other seven consisted of three Soul Ancestor and four Soul Elders.

What's remarkable is that Wang Qiu'er didn't rush to deal with the gray-haired youth. Instead, she grabbed a Golden Dragon Spear and charged directly at one of the Soul King and two Soul Ancestor!

Wen Xiaoshuai immediately activated his Earth Battle Bear Martial Soul and faced off against another Soul King and a Soul Ancestor.

The remaining four Soul Elders were naturally entrusted to Wang Qingya.

Despite being a Food Type Soul Master, she has already become Soul King and has used Soul Tool for many years. Her combat strength is definitely not weak. Dealing with a mere four Soul Elders, even if they are Evil Soul Master, would be more than enough.

If Wang Qingya, as a Soul King, possesses several Soul Tool, including two Level 5 attack Soul Tool and two Level 5 Defensive Soul Tool, and still cannot defeat four Evil Soul Master Soul Elder, then she might as well drop out of Shrek Academy.

As for Zhou Huan, he immediately appeared in front of the gray-haired youth with an Ice Step, and with a light touch, placed his palm on the youth's chest, amidst the youth's terrified gaze that stared at his dead eyes.

There were no flashy colors, no explosions, and no back-and-forth clashes of Soul Skill.

It was just a light pat on the back, it looked like a friendly tap.

However, only the person being photographed, the gray-haired youth, felt the shock and fear that had reached the peak of his life.

That seemingly slow palm strike was actually impossible for him to dodge; he didn't even know how the other person got in front of him.

When that palm struck him, it was an indescribable chill and coldness, as if it pierced his soul directly—no, not just as if, it truly pierced his soul!

The gray-haired youth opened his mouth, as if to say something, but no sound came out.

Because at this moment, his entire body had already shattered into ice shards, but his head was still intact, and his consciousness had not completely vanished.

However, he was actually dead.

It can only be said that his body "died" before his consciousness.

The next instant, the remaining part of the gray-haired youth's head shattered into ice shards.

Then, Zhou Huan turned around and looked at the cellar that had been divided into three battlefields.
