Now, Do You Still Think That?

"I flew here openly and honestly, okay? It's just that you're too weak to sense it," Xiao Tian shrugged, looking completely innocent. "Also, remember to wash your feet when you get back; they smell sweaty."

Tang Huo'er's pretty face turned bright red with anger at his words, especially his lewd remarks that implied she had "stinky feet," which made her feel both ashamed and indignant, and she even forgot the pain in her calves.

She pointed at Xiao Tian, her chest heaving, and for a moment she was so angry that she couldn't speak.

I, who have always been competitive, was actually told that I was weak. Besides, I am a cultivator, and moreover, I am of the Fire Attribute. I don't have smelly feet at all; they smell wonderful.

Tang Huo'er now wished she could stomp on his face and make him smell whether it smelled good or bad.

"The aperture has disappeared, we're safe."

"Mom, I want to go home. It's too scary here."

After the aperture disappeared, many people finally relaxed their tense nerves. However, this sudden change in tension caused some people with low tolerance to have a mental breakdown.

The Main Hall had vanished, leaving only a massive, deep cave several hundred feet in size, from which terrifying energy still lingered.

Everyone's eyes were searching the deep pit, but they did not find the Dou Sheng Skeleton.

The Black White Heavenly Venerate' faces instantly turned ashen, as if they had eaten excrement. The mission had failed again, and the two dared not imagine what punishment they would suffer upon returning.

Black Heavenly Venerate's face was as black as his clothes. Not only did he fail to complete the mission, but he also lost half of his right hand, which affected his combat power by at least 20%.

Looking at the still dense crowd in the square, and with two major forces missing and individual forces also suffering losses, their Combat Power was reduced by at least 50%.

Because of several instances of failed missions by the Soul Hall Heavenly Venerate, this mission was ostensibly led by the Black White Heavenly Venerate Venerables, but secretly the Four Heavenly Venerate Venerable Elder, Blood River, was dispatched to provide support at any time.

Thinking of this, Black Heavenly Venerate Venerable's confidence instantly surged. He exchanged a glance with White Heavenly Venerate, a tacit understanding common among those in the Soul Hall, a greed for souls.

"Hehehe..." The Black Heavenly Venerate let out a chilling laugh, his voice hoarse and grating, "Now that things are over here, I would like to invite your Soul Body to my Soul Hall as guests!"

White Heavenly Venerate and the two Venerable Elder beside him also unleashed powerful auras, pressing down on the crowd.

"Having experienced such fear and despair with my souls, they are certainly more suited to the task of collecting them, hehehehe."

"You four, one of whom is crippled, think you can devour us?" A young white-haired man from the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan looked at the Soul Hall members with disdain.

Upon hearing the other party's words, Black Heavenly Venerate's face turned as black as if he had just crawled out of a coal mine.

"Hehehe, of course the four of us can't do it alone, but there are more than just the four of us." White Heavenly Venerate took out a blood-red Jade Slip, and then crushed it in front of everyone.

Then, from other parts of the ruins, nearly ten Dou Zun- level auras came towards this side, instantly enveloping the entire plaza with their powerful auras.

"Do you still think that way now?" The Black Heavenly Venerate's expression instantly changed from gloomy to sunny, his face full of delight.

Inside the plaza, apart from Xiao Tian and his companion, and Xiao Yan and his two companions who roughly understood Xiao Tian's strength, everyone else's expressions became uncertain, clearly also intimidated by this sudden aura.

The same applies to the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. At this moment, there are only three Five-Star Dou Zun in the square. Although there are quite a few low-level Dou Zun, the Soul Hall has two Six-Star Dou Zun and two Four-Star Dou Zun. The rest are two- or three- Dou Zun.

Although they may appear to be of similar numbers, the difference between each star Dou Zun is enormous.

"Does your Soul Hall intend to declare war on my Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan?" The white-haired youth of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan stepped forward, his voice full of threat.

White Heavenly Venerate let out a piercing, eerie laugh, his eyes flashing with cruel light. "Declare war? Ridiculous!" His voice was hoarse and full of sarcasm. "Once you're all cold corpses, who will know what happened here? The dead don't speak, you fools of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan."

Before he finished speaking, White Heavenly Venerate shook the Soul Banner in his hand, and a chilling black Dou Qi surged out from the banner, transforming into a dense black beam of light as thick as a finger. With a shrill shriek, it shot straight at the white-haired youth of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan!

"Watch out!" Huang Xuan, standing beside the white-haired youth, had a drastic change in expression. He hadn't expected White Heavenly Venerate to act so decisively. He couldn't help but shout and took a step forward, unleashing his powerful Dou Qi without reservation in an attempt to block the attack from Six-Star Dou Zun.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened!

The already incredibly swift black soul sword increased its speed even more dramatically in an instant, piercing through space and reappearing right in front of the white-haired youth.

"What?!"

The threat and shock on the white-haired youth's face froze instantly. Before he could even react, the deadly black light in his pupils widened rapidly.

"Damn it!!" Huang Xuan roared.

"Pfft!"

The beam of light pierced precisely through the young man's forehead, drawing out a red and white mixture from the back of his head.

His face froze, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror. He hadn't expected that even with his Dou Zun strength, he wouldn't have time to react.

The beam of light did not stop after piercing the young man's head, but instead struck the ground directly.

"Boom--!!!"

A terrifying ripple of Black Energy spread outwards from its point of impact, like a destructive storm!

The ground was instantly blasted into a huge crater, and the aftershocks of the explosion sent Huang Xuan, Feng Qing'er, and the other members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan flying.

The closest few Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan Dou Zong were torn to pieces before they could even utter a sound.

With just one strike, the leader of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan's expedition team perished on the spot. Apart from Feng Qing'er, who was protected by protective gear, all the other Dou Zong members were dead. The two Dou Zun Elder and Huang Xuan sustained minor injuries.

A deathly silence fell over the arena. Even White Heavenly Venerate of the Soul Hall was slightly taken aback. He looked at the Soul Banner in his hand, then at the huge crater caused by the explosion and the wounded Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. His attack with the Soul Banner... seemed more powerful than usual? And the speed was ridiculously fast.

Forget it, never mind. Maybe they're just too weak.

"Soul Hall, you've gone too far!" Huang Xuan roared angrily, unleashing the vast and powerful aura of Five-Star Dou Zun as he attacked White Heavenly Venerate. He also shouted to the crowd, "If you don't make a move, you'll be next!"

White Heavenly Venerate watched as he, holding Soul Banner, fought against Huang Xuan, the battle causing the heavens and earth to change color.
