Elder Yao's Plans
"Yao Chen, how do you plan to deal with the Soul Hall?" Xuan Kongzi asked in a deep voice.
Although the group had a good relationship, that was no excuse for them to blindly help Yao Chen; it would be irresponsible towards the Pill Tower.
In fact, the actions prepared by the Three Giants were not discussed with the Elder Council of the Little Pill Tower at all, and were considered to be unauthorized actions, which is a serious violation of regulations.
If Yao Chen didn't have a feasible plan, they would absolutely not carry it out; otherwise, if it caused significant losses to the Pill Tower, they would be held responsible to the death.
"Don't worry, we won't let your Pill Tower suffer any losses!" Elder Yao understood Xuan Kongzi's concerns and chuckled.
"Besides, I didn't say this time that you, the Pill Tower, should be at the forefront!"
"You mean..." Xuan Kongzi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Elder Yao laughed, "I, Yao Chen, am no longer as foolish as I was back then, blindly confronting the Soul Hall head-on!"
"Over the years, I have accumulated quite a network of connections under the title of Medicine Venerable, including many old guys who are not afraid of the Soul Hall."
"Aren't you afraid that your return to Central Plains will be exposed?" Xuan Yi asked worriedly from the side.
Friends are friends, but those people are not worthy of Elder Yao's complete trust. Yao Chen's greatest advantage now is his secrecy. The Soul Hall has no idea that he has returned to Central Plains, or even that he is still alive.
Therefore, the Elder Yao had ample time to plan and look for suitable opportunities.
However, once the other party's information is exposed, not only will it fail to inflict effective damage on the Soul Hall, but it may also be countered by the latter, resulting in more harm than good!
Xuan Kongzi also thought that Elder Yao's approach was very inappropriate, and he frowned.
"You all know those old guys, they would never betray me," Elder Yao said with considerable confidence.
"Who?" the Three Giants asked curiously. Although they were confident in Yao Chen's judgment and had rarely misjudged people over the years, wasn't there still the precedent of Han Feng?
"Burning Flame Valley, Flower Sect, and two rogue cultivators who were Peak Dou Zun I befriended back then, they have all broken through to the Half-Saint now."
"It's still possible to persuade them, even if it costs some money."
"I see!" Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi both had expressions of understanding. They didn't think Yao Chen was referring to the Sect Master and valley master of the two forces; it must be the Supreme Elder behind them.
With four Half-Saint, plus two Dou Sheng, Yao Chen and Fire Cloud Old Ancestor, their chances of winning are indeed quite high.
But...
"You went to find that vixen?" Xuan Yi's tone was unfriendly, Xuan Kongzi and the other two felt a cold wind blow from behind.
Jealous women are quite terrifying. Xuan Yi was in a very bad mood when she heard her old flame offering himself to another woman.
Yao Chen suddenly realized, "Oh no, how did I say that here!"
However, relying on his years of experience in the world of women in his youth, Elder Yao quickly calmed down Xuan Yi, who was feeling jealous.
"So what are your plans?" Xuan Kongzi asked.
"That depends on what your Pill Tower can do," Elder Yao said with a gloomy smile.
"What do you mean?" Xuan Kongzi was taken aback.
"The Central Plains Pill Assembly!" Elder Yao said solemnly.
"You want to make a move against the Soul Hall at the Pill Assembly?" Xuan Kongzi was first taken aback, then suddenly realized.
The Soul Hall has been eyeing their Pill Tower's Three Thousand Burning Flames for quite some time now. At the Central Plains Pill Assembly more than two years from now, the latter will definitely cause trouble, and it wouldn't be a problem for them to take the opportunity to kill a group of the Soul Hall experts.
"But isn't this a bit of a waste of talent?" Xuan Kongzi asked curiously.
Although the Soul Hall coveted the Three Thousand Burning Flames of their Pill Tower, it was unlikely that they could send out any particularly powerful beings. Ordinary people couldn't enter the Star Region, so at most they could only send a few Dou Zun expert.
Six Saint Realm experts came out together just to kill a few Dou Zun. Isn't that using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
"This is only the first step," Elder Yao said with murderous intent.
He was so badly tricked by the Soul Hall back then; if it weren't for his good luck in meeting a good disciple,
Let alone returning to Central Plains, he's probably suffering somewhere right now!
Now that they've paid a huge price to invite several Saint Realm experts, how could it be just to kill a few Dou Zun?
"My destination is here." The Elder Yao pointed to a map of Central Plains.
"The Burial Mountain Range?" The Three Giants looked at the location pointed Elder Yao and asked curiously, "Does the Soul Hall have some important place here?"
However, in the eyes of the Three Giants, since Elder Yao dared to point out this place, it must be a very important location in the Soul Hall.
The Elder Yao sneered, "This is the Human Hall, one of the three Heavenly Dipper Hall of the Soul Hall! It is usually guarded by Great Heavenly Venerate Heavenly Venerable."
"The Human Hall?!" the Three Giants exclaimed in surprise. This was one of the three most important branch halls of the Soul Hall, and could even be considered its headquarters. If something happened to the Human Hall, it would definitely cause a major upheaval in the Soul Hall.
"How did you know that the Human Hall was in the Burial Mountain Range?" Xuan Kongzi asked curiously. Wasn't Yao Chen just back? His body was even refined with the help of Xuan Yi. How could he know information that their Pill Tower had overlooked? That shouldn't be the case!
The Elder Yao's lips curled into a smile. Although he was embarrassed, he had indeed relied on his disciple's help this time.
However, he also knew that the Xiao Clan was not in a good position. This was a win-win deal. He was responsible for revenge and causing trouble, while the Xiao Clan was responsible for providing intelligence on the Soul Hall.
But it's best to keep this to yourself. The Elder Yao wouldn't be foolish enough to say it out loud. He simply changed the subject. The Three Giants also guessed that there might be some secrets involved, so they didn't ask any more questions.
"But can your strength handle both of the Soul Hall's Great Heavenly Venerate at the same time?" Others only looked at the success rate and outcome of things, but Xuan Yi was always concerned about Elder Yao's safety.
"Both the Great Celestial Venerable and the Second Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Hall Grand Heavenly Venerate are Dou Sheng Expert. Even if the six of you join forces, the probability of killing them is not high, is it?"

Even worse, if the Soul Hall's experts come to their rescue in time, they will probably all be left there.
"Even if you manage to kill Great Heavenly Venerate, how will you deal with the Soul Hall's retaliation afterwards?"
Out of concern, Xuan Yi directly asked a series of questions.
"It would be impossible if it were just the group of us, but I'm not the only enemy of the Soul Hall."
The Elder Yao felt a warmth in his heart. He hadn't felt this kind of care in many years. His tone was ingratiating. The two exchanged glances, making Xuan Kongzi and the other person beside them feel like they were being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing a public display of affection).
"You wouldn't be thinking of joining forces with the Langya Pavilion, would you?" Xuan Kongzi, of course, wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his fate, so he quickly changed the subject.
He didn't think much of what Elder Yao said about the Soul Hall Xuan Kongzi. Soul Hall out of ten enemies of the Soul Hall were easy to find on the street.
However, among the few forces in Central Plains capable of directly confronting the Soul Hall, excluding the Pill Tower, only the Langya Pavilion stands out.
Xuan Kongzi asked uncertainly, "Langya Pavilion has rarely clashed with the Soul Hall in recent years. Are you sure they're willing to provoke the Soul Hall alongside you?"
"They will!" The Elder Yao smiled mysteriously and said confidently.
"In that case, we'll do as you say!"
The thought of about taking down two Dou Sheng from the Soul Hall filled Xuan Kongzi with excitement. Although their Pill Tower was only responsible for providing the venue and logistics in this grand event, it did not prevent Xuan Kongzi from immersing himself in the experience.
Meanwhile, Xuan Kongzi was also considering whether he could persuade the Elder Council again to allow the Pill Tower to form an alliance with Yao Chen's group and Langya Pavilion.
With the three of them joining forces, they're more than capable of forcing out the Soul Hall's... well, you know.
