A violent surge of soul energy erupted in an instant, like a storm sweeping across the entire Soul Refining Mist Sea at terrifying speed before spreading into the distance.
Having learned from experience, the Chen Family members immediately took evasive action the moment they sensed something was wrong. Yet because this wave covered such a vast area and erupted with such force, many were still injured. Numerous Chen Family disciples had their heads buzzing and their faces turn pale. Even the circulation of spiritual energy within their bodies was severely disrupted, leaving them unable to fly.
Shi Jin and Xiao Heng, on the other hand, were much more composed this time. The pills they had taken earlier seemed to still be effective, allowing them to withstand the erupting soul wave head-on without suffering any harm.
At the center of the Soul Refining Mist Sea, the destruction of the Soul-Locking Bell instantly dealt a severe blow to everyone from the Soul Refining Sect. Aside from Ghost Thirteen and Ghost Thirty-Two, all the others had already fallen unconscious.
"You... who exactly are you...?" Ghost Thirteen stared at Lin Chuan. The 108 Soul-Locking Chains dancing around him were like tentacles from hell, while the three runes flashing upon them left Ghost Thirteen dry-mouthed!
That was the Soul Refining Sect's most powerful secret art—the Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang chapters of the Soul Refining Art. Even within the Soul Refining Sect, only a handful of people could cultivate such a formidable secret art. The Four Soul Heirs had been named after cultivating these four chapters. Yet the masked, mysterious man standing before him had actually cultivated the Mei, Wang, and Liang chapters at the same time. His Soul-Locking Chains had shattered the Soul-Locking Bell jointly cast by all fourteen of them in an instant.
