Postwar Matters

"Wind Chasing? Judgment!!" Yun Shan shouted in a low voice.

This was the Heaven Rank Low-Level Dou Techniques Xiao Han had previously gifted to the former. This was the first time Yun Shan had used it since learning it, and the sacrifice for this Dou Techniques was the life of this Soul Hall Heavenly Venerate.

Feeling the arrow of Flowing Light locked onto it, the Poison Scorpion steeled its resolve and lay completely prone in the void, its massive tail swaying from side to side.

Then he suddenly charged forward, shouting, "Scorpion King Calamity!"

Two streaks of Flowing Light, one black and one green, collided. What was expected to be a fierce battle turned out to be something completely unexpected.

Without any grand display, the seemingly indestructible hook melted away as quickly as spring snow the moment it came into contact with the Flowing Light arrow.

It was completely dissolved, without causing the slightest obstruction. And the arrow shot towards the Poison Scorpion, which was frozen in place, without any hesitation.

"How is this possible?" The Poison Scorpion was still reeling from the shock it had just suffered.

His Dou Techniques, which combined the strength of the Emerald Emperor Scorpion who was only Two Star Dou Zun), clearly possessed power comparable to the Heavenly Rank, yet it was easily pierced by the opponent's strange arrow.

The Poison Scorpion learned a lesson with his life: to be comparable to someone is to never be able to match them. The gap between the Heavenly Rank and the Earth Grade is like an insurmountable chasm. The Poison Scorpion's Dou Techniques didn't even make a ripple in front of the Heaven Tier Dou Technique.

"Pfft~" The arrow pierced the Poison Scorpion's chest with a slight sound, exploding into a cloud of blood mist. The wound then continued to widen, directly engulfing the Poison Scorpion's entire body, leaving no trace of its remains!

Yun Shan face was slightly pale, suddenly erupted with Dou Qi, instantly suppressing the entire scene. With a thought, countless long swords condensed and shot towards the Hall of Souls Protector who were stunned by the death of the Poison Scorpion.

Faced with the overwhelming power of Dou Zun expert, those Hall of Souls Protector who were only at the Dou Zong level were powerless to resist. They either died on the spot or were killed by their opponents after being seriously injured.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan also created an opening, and an extremely sharp sword aura directly sliced through Ying Ye's body. However, due to the terrifying vitality of Dou Zun expert, even though he lost half of his body, he was only seriously injured.

Dou Qi coalesced into a giant hand, seizing the opportunity to capture the heavily injured Ying Ye. Then, Xiao Zhan, holding Ying Ye in one hand, instantly appeared beside Yun Shan.

Raising Ying Ye's body high, it signifies the end of this epic battle.

Before long, due to the unexpected events such as the killing of the Poison Scorpion and the capture of Ying Ye, Xie Bi Yan and Xie Shan, who were in a state of panic, also revealed their weaknesses.

The former was devoured by dozens of ice dragons released by Hai Bo Dong, turning directly into an ice sculpture, which shattered into Heavenly Ice in the fierce sky, shining brightly in the sunlight.

The latter was rather tragic. Xie Shan was far inferior to Jia Xing Tian, and he completely manipulated the entire battle. Seeing that the time was almost up, Jia Xing Tian directly pierced through Xie Shan's body with a huge claw shadow, giving him a heart-wrenching blow.

The strongest figures like Dou Zun and Dou Zong were all eliminated, and the remaining Dou Wang Dou Huang expert were quickly wiped out as well.

As for the fleeing troops of the Chu Yun Empire and the escapees of the Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect below, Jia Xing Tian, who was in charge of the imperial army, simply let them beat the drowning dogs.

There was no need to waste time relentlessly pursuing them. What they were more concerned about at the moment was the Soul Hall Ying Ye that Xiao Zhan was holding.

"What, do you need my help with the interrogation?" Jia Xing Tian asked eagerly.

This is Dou Zun expert! A mere breath from him could kill me, a mere Dou Zong. How could I not seize this opportunity to experience it firsthand?

"I can do that too. I used to be an assassin, and I'm quite good at interrogations." Hai Bo Dong couldn't resist the temptation either.

"Thank you both for your kind offer, but I'd better handle this person myself!" Xiao Zhan declined.

Having said that, Jia Xing Tian and the other man had no further thoughts, only indicating that Xiao Zhan could ask them for help if he encountered any trouble.

After thanking them, Xiao Zhan couldn't wait to part ways with the others, as he was very curious about the information in Ying Ye's mind.

If Xiao Zhan hadn't known that the Soul Hall had placed restrictions on its confidential information and the souls of its subordinates, he would have been prepared to directly search their souls. They were just powerful cultivators of the soul path; his Xiao Clan had plenty of those too.

Xiao Zhan took Ying Ye directly to the secret room and fed him a pill to quickly wake him up.

After swallowing a pill, Ying Ye, who was originally unconscious, slowly woke up in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Upon waking up, she saw a terrifying human face.

"How shall I address you?" Xiao Zhan asked with a smile.

Ying Ye remained silent. Although the people of the Soul Hall were afraid of death, they were not stupid. Since they had already fallen into the hands of the other party and were doomed, why should they provide the other party with information about the Soul Hall?

Xiao Zhan didn't expect the other party to explain everything so easily. After sealing the cultivation of this Soul Hall expert, he walked out of the secret room under the other party's puzzled gaze.

After leaving the secret room, Xiao Zhan immediately contacted Xiao Wu and the other person near the fortress and told them the information he had obtained earlier.

Xiao Wu and his companion also attached great importance to this Venerable Elder of the Soul Hall, and appeared before Xiao Zhan in less than half a day.

"Xiao Clan Leader!"

"Please follow me, both of you."

Upon their first meeting, Xiao Zhan didn't waste any time and immediately led the two to the secret room.

Upon seeing Xiao Wu and the other person, Ying Ye stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then, as if realizing something, she snorted coldly and closed her eyes.

Looking at the Soul Hall Venerable Elder in front of him, who looked as if he was ready to die, Xiao Wu found it amusing. The joke of the year: Soul Hall experts are not afraid of death!

Everyone knows who they are. The reason why the people of the Soul Hall are so stubborn is because their lives are controlled by the Soul Hall. Once they reveal their secrets, they will suffer a fate worse than death and be completely destroyed.

However, the Langya Pavilion, which has been fighting against the Soul Hall for decades, has considerable experience in dealing with such people.

"Xian'er, go!" Xiao Wu began calling for the experts. Poison can not only kill people, but also achieve other purposes.

Especially when dealing with some of the Soul Hall's methods, Xian'er's poison often has a miraculous effect, such as corroding restrictions.

Xian'er was quite adept at this kind of thing; back when she was looking for people to test poisons, the prisoners of the Soul Hall were Xian'er main experimental subjects.

Since none of us are kind or innocent people anyway, we might as well stop pretending to pity the world.

Xian'er skillfully placed her finger on Ying Ye's crown, and then, to the latter's horrified gaze, released a ball of seemingly alive Black Mist from her hand, which slowly crawled into his body.

Amidst Ying Ye's wails, the restrictions within her soul were quickly corroded away.

"That's a wrap." Having finished her work, Xian'er clapped her hands and said calmly, "That's enough. We just need to find a powerful expert skilled in soul manipulation to search your soul."

"Thank you both very much." Xiao Zhan smiled and cupped his hands in thanks.

Now that Xiao Wu and his companion have solved the most difficult problem, the rest is quite simple and straightforward.

Under Xiao Zhan's command, a Dou Zun Elder from the Xiao Clan who was proficient in souls soon appeared before the two of them. He was a gaunt old man with sharp eyes, cracked hands, and deep, unfathomable eyes.

"This is my clan Elder, Xiao Qian Yue, who is skilled in soul cultivation and illusion techniques," Xiao Zhan introduced with a smile.

Illusion? Xiao Wu and the other exchanged a glance, both showing surprise in each other's eyes. Such a powerful expert was a rare sight indeed.

Even within groups like Langya Pavilion, such individuals are few and far between. In Xiao Wu's and the others' minds, the strongest illusionist was only Ye Shenghan's fiancée, Senior Sister Yin Xin.

However, the other party only deals with a small branch of the path of sound cultivation and has not ventured into it much.

But now is not the time to consider this issue. "Then we'll have to trouble this Elder."

Xiao Qian Yue indicated that she didn't mind and then entered the secret room. After waiting for an hour, she walked out with light steps.

"Chieftain, gentlemen, at least things haven't gotten to the worst possible point yet."

Xiao Qian Yue was naturally aware of the concerns her family patriarch had, and she relaxed after finding the answer in Ying Ye's mind. Their Xiao Clan's peaceful days were still ahead.
