Soul Demon Old Man Appears

After some haggling, Hun Miesheng finally managed to redeem the two Great Heavenly Venerate with twenty High-grade Earth-tier Cultivation Method and Dou Techniques, half of Thunder Phoenix's high-grade medicinal resources, and most importantly, the corpse of a Dou Sheng Expert.

"Now that the transaction is complete, let's part ways here!" With everything settled, Xiao Han smiled and said to Hun Miesheng and the other man. These were important clients, so he had to be polite.

After saying that, he called to Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, and turned to break through space to leave.

However...

"Pavilion Master Su, it's not appropriate for you to just leave like this!" Hun Miesheng's sinister voice rang out behind Xiao Han.

"Oh?" Xiao Han turned to look at Thunder Phoenix and the other person, who had already begun circulating their Dou Qi, and said seemingly innocently, "Do you two intend to make a move?"

"Hmph~" Thunder Phoenix snorted coldly, saying in an unfriendly tone, "Boy, let me give you a piece of advice: hand over our things, and we might spare your life. Otherwise..."

"Hasn't Senior Thunder Phoenix heard the saying?" Xiao Han asked in return.

Before the other party could answer, Xiao Han gave his reply, "People die for wealth, birds die for food. I will not give up the wealth I have gained."

"If you two are interested..." Xiao Han's expression remained unchanged, but his Dou Qi suddenly erupted, "I wouldn't mind having a fight with you all."

Um?

Sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Han, Hun Miesheng frowned deeply, while Thunder Phoenix was utterly astonished, taking several steps back and saying incredulously, "You... how could you be a five-star?"

"Pavilion Master Su, you are truly remarkable. You have managed to hold back your strength for so long." Hun Miesheng said in a low voice, as if he were praising him.

Xiao Han's initial strength was only at the peak of One-Star Dou Sheng. Now, in just twenty years, he has skyrocketed to four stars like a rocket. Who would believe that?

It must be that the other party has been hiding his strength all along, and now that he is under too much pressure in joining forces with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, he finally couldn't help but reveal his true strength?

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" Xiao Han smiled and said noncommittally.

"This is going to be difficult!" Hun Miesheng thought to himself. Although he was now Five-Star Dou Sheng, he might not be a match for his opponent at the same level.

Moreover, once their true strength is exposed, the Soul Hall will be heavily guarded by those Ancient Races in the Central Plains, which will affect their operations.

So, it really has to come to that point?

"Join forces!" Hun Miesheng glanced at the somewhat dazed Thunder Phoenix and said succinctly. Xiao Han was only at the Mid-Stage Five-Star Dou Sheng, but the two of them at the late-stage of a four-star Dou Sheng still had a fighting chance.

"Hmm!" Thunder Phoenix nodded solemnly. Although he was arrogant, he was not reckless. It was better to deal with things that involved opponents of higher levels together.

"Join forces?" Xiao Han scoffed. "Are you sure you have a chance to join forces?"

"Let's go together, and finish this job before we go home!" Xiao Han shouted to someone, leaving Hun Miesheng and the other person somewhat bewildered.

"Attack together? Ye Jianxin is seriously injured. Does Heavenly Sound Old Man still have the right to interfere in their battle?"

Something was wrong. The two of them felt a chill and stiffly turned their gazes to the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, which they had never paid any attention to before. At this moment, the latter twisted its neck and its Dou Qi burst out unrestrainedly— Four Star Dou Sheng Late Stage.

Although it is extremely difficult for Mysterious Object of heaven and earth to Spirit Awakening intelligence and take human form, heaven is fair, and every Mysterious Object that takes human form possesses top-tier talent for cultivation.

The reason why Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice's previous level was not high was entirely due to the fact that he had wasted a lot of time and energy on suppression and sealing. When he regained his freedom and devoted himself to cultivation, his terrifying cultivation speed was naturally revealed to everyone.

In less than ten years, he went from the early stage of the fourth star to the late stage of the fourth star, a speed that can only be described as astonishing. And Hun Miesheng and the other person will be the first witnesses to his entry into the world.

"There's another Four Star Dou Sheng?!" Thunder Phoenix exclaimed in shock and anger, questioning the equally dumbfounded Hun Miesheng, "What are you Soul Hall doing? How could you not even get such crucial information?!"

Thunder Phoenix's feelings now went beyond mere regret. The power that Langya Pavilion possessed at this moment far exceeded her expectations.

Leaving aside the core combat forces, among the Dou Sheng level experts alone, there is one mid-five-star, one late-four-star, one peak two-star, plus an ally at the peak one-star.

They're not far behind the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. If they really went to war, they would suffer heavy losses.

I thought it was just a game where he would easily beat noobs, but now it could easily turn into him getting beaten.

"What? Do you two seniors want to fight again?" Ignoring their shock, Xiao Han smiled, but his warm smile seemed full of mockery in the eyes of Hun Miesheng and the other man.

"Hehehe~"

"I never imagined that such a gifted being could exist outside of Ancient Races." Just as Thunder Phoenix was about to swallow his anger, an aged voice came.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, an elderly man dressed in a black robe, with a hunched back and leaning on a cane, appeared in a corner. His long black eyebrows drooped down, and his mouth, which had few teeth left, was slightly grinning, as if he were smiling.

"Oh? May I ask your name, senior?" Xiao Han raised an eyebrow and cupped his hands in greeting.

Although this doesn't stop Xiao Han from killing the other party, basic manners are still necessary! It wouldn't be too late to let the other party leave their name before they die.

"Name?" The Black Eyebrow Old Man smiled and said with a touch of vicissitude, "You can call me the Soul Demon Old Man."

"Damn it, the Soul Clan actually has reinforcements." Thunder Phoenix felt not relief at the arrival of the Soul Demon Old Man, but rather worry. The former's reputation wasn't good; remaining vigilant was essential.

"Old Demon, you've arrived a bit late!" Hun Miesheng said indifferently, showing no respect whatsoever for the Soul Demon Old Man.

"Hun Miesheng, your Soul Hall still needs to request assistance from within the clan to deal with a new force, and I haven't even mentioned that yet!" the Soul Demon Old Man sneered.

"Looks like I'm still highly regarded by the Soul Clan!" Xiao Han stretched and laughed, completely unconcerned about the arrival of the Soul Demon Old Man.

"Oh?" The Soul Demon Old Man was surprised. "I didn't expect you, a junior, to know so much!"

The fact that the Soul Hall is a branch of the Soul Clan is known only to a top group of people or forces in the Central Plains.

In the eyes of the Soul Demon Old Man, even though Xiao Han was powerful, he had only been associated with the Langya Pavilion for a little over a hundred years, and his rise to power had occurred within the few decades since Xiao Han's return. It was truly astonishing that he could know such inside information.

But that's all there is to it! How could a late-stage five-star character like him lose to a junior in the early stages?

"Elder Demon, I advise you not to let your guard down." At this moment, Hun Miesheng sensed something unusual; Xiao Han was far too calm.

He didn't believe that the Langya Pavilion Master, who could hide his strength all this time, was some arrogant and ignorant person; there was no guarantee that the latter had some hidden tricks up his sleeve.

"Cowardly as a mouse, I really don't know why the clan chose you to be the Soul Hall Master." However, this advice only earned him the sarcasm of the Soul Demon Old Man.

"Hehe~"

"Suit yourself!" Hun Miesheng remained silent; it was impossible to persuade this damned ghost with kind words!
