Coexistence

A violent aura surged towards the two of them instantly. Xiao Yu pulled Yao Ye, who was walking in front, behind him with one hand, and with the other hand, a surge of Ice Cold Dou Qi formed a thick ice wall in front of them.

Click click click!

The violent aura, carrying a hint of chill, crashed into the ice wall, causing cracking sounds to emanate from the thick ice wall. Fortunately, the ice wall did not shatter completely.

Standing behind Xiao Yu, Yao Ye's face was pale and incredulous. She couldn't believe that her great-grandfather had made a move. If Xiao Yu hadn't been by her side, Yao Ye knew that she would have been seriously injured by this powerful aura!

Xiao Yu's heart stirred, and the ice wall vanished from their sight. Xiao Yu walked inside, chuckling as he went, "Elder Jia, your temper has certainly gotten hotter these past few months!"

"Xiao Yu?" A dark figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yu and Yao Ye.

Yao Ye addressed the shadowy figure with a slight, respectful "Great-Grandpa!"

Xiao Yu stared at Jia Xingtian before him, a sudden thought flashing through his mind, a hint of killing intent rising in his eyes. However, it quickly vanished, replaced by a chuckle. "Elder Jia? You've broken through to the Dou Zong?"

Jia Xingtian looked at the tall and upright young man in front of him and was slightly shocked. Even with his current strength, he could not sense Xiao Yu's current strength, which made Jia Xingtian feel a sense of vigilance.

"Hehe, yes, it was just luck. I gained some insight from the last great battle, so after going into seclusion, I directly broke through to the Dou Zong realm!" Jia Xingtian said with a smile on his aged face.

Upon hearing Jia Xingtian's words, Xiao Yu thought to himself, "As expected, this old guy has indeed broken through to the Dou Zong realm."

However, Xiao Yu knew that what the old guy called enlightenment was just talk, and nobody would believe it. He also sensed the aura of the Soul Hall from Jia Xingtian, which made Xiao Yu's heart surge with killing intent. The Soul Hall was truly omnipresent. However, what puzzled him was that most of the experts of the Soul Hall had died at the Jia Nan Academy, so how could there still be people from the Soul Hall appearing in the Northwest Continent!

"Now that Elder Jia has broken through to the Dou Zong realm, are you still worried that other families in the Jia Ma Empire might covet the Imperial Family?" Xiao Yu said with a faint smile as he looked at Jia Xingtian.

Jia Xingtian turned and walked towards the futon behind him. After sitting down, he looked at Xiao Yu and said, "The deterrent power of Dou Zong is enough for other families, but for you, Xiao Yu, I'm afraid it's not enough, is it?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yu was truly confused now. What did this have to do with him?

Jia Xingtian shook his head and said, "Xiao Yu, when you went to the Misty Cloud Sect, did you already know about the Soul Hall?"

When Jia Xingtian directly mentioned the Soul Hall, Xiao Yu's expression changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you also know something? Are you cooperating with the Soul Hall?"

Jia Xingtian smiled faintly and said, "No, the Soul Hall came to me before, but I refused. Do you know what conditions the Soul Hall offered me?"

Jia Xingtian continued, "Dou Zun! The Soul Hall once told me that even the Dou Zong, who dominates the Northwest Continent, is merely at the bottom in the distant Central Plains. Only Dou Zun is considered a true powerhouse!"

Xiao Yu took two steps and stood in front of Jia Xingtian, saying, "Since the Soul Hall offered you the condition of becoming Dou Zun, didn't you agree?"

"If I hadn't seen what Yun Shan looked like, I might have agreed. Such conditions are too tempting!" Jia Xingtian chuckled.

Xiao Yu sized up Jia Xingtian, and after a while said, "Since you haven't cooperated with the Soul Hall, then we can still be friends. The Mittel Family will accompany me to the Black Corner Region, so you don't need to worry about that. However, if you really have any ties with the Soul Hall, then we are enemies, and I will definitely kill you with my own hands!"

After speaking, Xiao Yu's aura surged forth, and an extremely terrifying power swept through the underground palace Yao Ye, standing to the side, turned deathly pale, while Jia Xingtian, his expression unchanged, chuckled at Xiao Yu, "Don't worry, we won't become enemies!"

Xiao Yu didn't say anything more, but turned around and left.

"Yao Ye, you stay here!" Jia Xingtian said to Yao Ye.

Yao Ye originally intended to see Xiao Yu off, but upon hearing Jia Xingtian's words, she stopped in her tracks!

In the vast underground palace, Yao Ye's face was slightly pale, and she looked at Jia Xingtian, a trace of black aura surged from Jia Xingtian's body, and a ferocious look appeared on his old face, making him look somewhat terrifying!

"What are you doing bringing Xiao Yu here? Are you doubting me? Or do you not want to be the Empress of the Jia Ma Empire?" Jia Xingtian's tone had completely turned sinister and icy.

Yao Ye didn't know why her great-grandfather had changed like this, but she still explained, "Great-grandfather, you've changed so much lately. I... I was worried about you, that's why I wanted Xiao Yu to help you!"

"Help me? No one is allowed in here without my permission, understand?" Jia Xingtian roared, his eyes bloodshot.

Yao Ye's eyes were slightly glistening, but she still nodded and said, "I understand, Great-Grandpa!"

"Go out!"

"Yes!"

After Yao Ye left, Jia Xingtian Xingtian's originally hunched body trembled slightly and straightened up. A struggle appeared on his somewhat ferocious face.

"Get out of my body!" That was Jia Xingtian's voice!

"You and I are one, have you forgotten?" Another cold, hoarse voice came from Jia Xingtian's mouth, and his face became more ferocious as he spoke.

Jia Xingtian roared, "You lied to me!"

"Deception? It's nothing but your greed. Now that you've broken through to the Dou Zong, I'm just temporarily staying in your body for a while!" the sinister voice chuckled.

"Just now Yao Ye almost ruined my plans. I never expected Xiao Yu's soul to be so powerful. Even I had to lie dormant within your body, otherwise I would have been completely exposed!" the chilling and terrifying voice said.

Jia Xingtian sneered, "So you're afraid too! I thought everyone from the Soul Hall was this arrogant and conceited!"

"Arrogance? That's just the strength of our Soul Hall. Once Venerable Qin Tian returns, he will eliminate Xiao Yu and the Xiao Clan!"

"What exactly is it about the Xiao Clan that attracts you so much, making you keep chasing after the Xiao Clan?"

A cold, hoarse voice rang out, "This has nothing to do with you!"

"Once we get what we want, the Soul Hall will help the Jia Ma Empire become the only empire in the Northwest Continent!"

Jia Xingtian sneered, "Still trying to fool me?"

Watching Jia Xingtian's aged face shift between ferocious anger and cold calm, as if he had a split personality, constantly arguing in the empty underground palace, it was a pity that no one paid any attention to this place.
