Soul Hall's presence

Lu Man's actions stunned everyone around him. Yuan Yi, who was closest, didn't even have time to react. He only had time to circulate his Dou Qi to form a shield on his body before the wooden spike pierced through him fiercely.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Yuan Yi was instantly sent flying. After this attack, Lu Man charged towards Xiao Yu. The sudden change caused a slight shift in the expressions of everyone present.

The elders from the Jia Nan Academy, including Hu Gan, looked astonished, while Han Feng looked confused and angry. Han Feng stared coldly at Lu Man and said, "Is the Heavenly Snake Mansion planning to oppose me?"

At this moment, Lu Man also removed his black robe and looked at Han Feng with a smile, saying, "City Lord Han, I apologize. When my Heavenly Snake Mansion acquired the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill, we were ambushed by the Blood Sect. However, if it weren't for Xiao Yu Yu's help, I think the pill would have already been obtained by the Blood Sect."

"When the pills were auctioned off, although the auction house stated that the successful bidder for the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill would have to agree to a condition set by the seller, we paid a heavy price to obtain it. Moreover, we also stated at the time that we would not do anything that violated the principles of the Heavenly Snake Mansion. Now, City Lord Han taking action against the Jia Nan Academy, where Young Master Xiao Yu is located, which violates the principles of the Heavenly Snake Mansion!"

Han Feng sneered, "Good, very good. It seems that after we resolve things here, we will definitely have to go to the Heavenly Snake Mansion!" The chilling killing intent in his words was self-evident.

However, Lu Man didn't take it to heart. The foundation of the Heavenly Snake Mansion was not something Han Feng could shake, even if this person was Sixth Grade Alchemist!

The moment Hu Gan saw Lu Man, he turned his gaze towards the students beside him. His eyes met Xiao Yu's Xiao Yu nodded slightly. Hu Gan understood and laughed heartily, "The Heavenly Snake Mansion is indeed different from these snakes, ants, and rats. Jia Nan Academy will certainly express its gratitude for this matter. And if anyone truly attacks the Heavenly Snake Mansion, Jia Nan Academy will naturally not stand idly by!"

Upon hearing Hu Gan's words, Lu Man bowed slightly to Hu Gan and said, "Then thank you very much, Dean Hu Gan!"

In contrast to Hu Gan's excitement, Han Feng coldly observed them and said, "The outcome is still undecided; isn't it too early to say such things?"

Han Feng looked at Yuan Yi on the other side. Although he managed to block Lu Man's attack in time, he was still forced back dozens of meters and spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Lu Man.

Suddenly, a black aura emanated from Yuan Yi's body, cold and icy, completely different from Yuan Yi's previous aura!

Han Feng's eyes narrowed immediately. This aura was naturally very familiar to him. The people from the Soul Hall who had come into contact with him also had this kind of cold and icy aura, which made people feel fear involuntarily!

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, standing on the other side, heard Yao Lao's voice say, "The Soul Hall's aura... be careful!"

In a secluded space, Gu Yuan, along with a group of elders from the Ancient Clan, stood there. Looking at the black aura emanating from Yuan Yi, a cold smile appeared on his face. Gu Fa snorted angrily, saying, "It seems the Soul Hall has been plotting this in the Northwest Continent for a long time. What exactly is the Soul Clan trying to do?"

Gu Yuan, his face expressionless, said, "The Eight Ancient Clans have an agreement that we cannot act now. When we do, let's make it as clean as possible!"

Gu Fa nodded and said, "Don't worry, clan leader. I will personally take action and twist their heads off. But, clan leader, do you believe that kid can do it?"

Gu Yuan naturally knew he was referring to Xiao Yu, and said calmly, "It's not a matter of whether I believe him or not, but rather that Xiao Xuan believes him. The Soul Hall is indeed too arrogant now. Back then, I hesitated for a moment. If we had cooperated with the Xiao Clan, the situation would definitely not be like this now!"

With that, Gu Yuan sighed and said, "Since Xiao Xuan left behind the Soul Jade Fragment, he must have had other plans. Now it seems that I am indeed inferior to Xiao Xuan; I lack both courage and foresight!"

The Ancient Clan elders behind him looked at Gu Yuan with some shock. In all these years, this was the first time they had ever heard Gu Yuan say that he was inferior to Xiao Xuan.

The Gu Fa stated, "This cannot be blamed on the clan leader. It was those bastards in the Elder Council ' council who stopped us back then. Otherwise, our Ancient Clan's strength would certainly not be inferior to the Soul Clan's now. Those old bastards were truly confused, not only confused but also extremely arrogant."

"They're always looking down on this and that, little do they know that the Ancient Clan are now weaker than the Soul Clan. And the Soul Clan's patriarch is no pushover!"

"Back then, my elder brother Gu Dao said that cooperating with the Xiao Clan would be better than cooperating with the Soul Clan, not to mention the other five ancient clans. The strength of the other five clans was far inferior to that of the Xiao Clan back then!" Gu Fa said with some disappointment.

Gu Fa's words caused the elders behind him to exchange bewildered glances, none daring to speak. Although they were also members of the Elder Council, their status was far inferior to that of the old man before them, not only in terms of status but, more importantly, in terms of strength!

Gu Yuan didn't say much, but instead turned his gaze back to the outside of space.

As the black energy around Yuan Yi increased, his previously listless aura began to slowly grow stronger. His strength, which was originally at the peak of the Two-Star Dou Emperor level, actually broke through to the Three Star Dou Huang. Then, he continued to break through to higher levels, the Four Star Dou Huang, the Five-Star Dou Emperor, and finally stopped climbing at the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Huang!

Everyone present was stunned by this bizarre phenomenon; they had never witnessed anything like it before.

A chilling glint flashed in Han Feng's eyes. At this moment, he understood that the Soul Hall was not cooperating with him alone in the Black Corner Region, but had also found others. Yuan Yi was one of them, and even the Blood Sect and the Earth Flame Sect were allies of the Soul Hall.

"Soul Hall, Soul Hall, it seems you don't trust me either, is that it? It's just a pity you chose the wrong partner. What can Yuan Yi bring you?" Han Feng sneered inwardly.

Han Feng immediately stopped looking at Yuan Yi and shouted, "Go!"

Han Feng then charged straight towards the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, his target the Heavenly Flames that had just been sealed away!

"Stop them!" Seeing this, Hu Gan waved his hand, and more than thirty academy elders behind him rushed out in a overwhelming wave, trying to intercept Han Feng.

"Your opponents are us!" A cold laugh rang out, Fan Lao, accompanied by more than a dozen figures, suddenly appeared in front of the thirty-odd academy elders, exuding a strong aura of bloodshed!

Boom!

After the battle broke out, a series of energy explosions echoed from high above, and the auras of Dou Wang Dou Emperor pressed down, causing all the students in the Inner Academy to change their expressions slightly.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Xiao Yu flapped his wings and shot off towards Hu Gan's location.
