Alliance and Response

"Pavilion Master, it's done." The hot-tempered Second Elder now had a serious expression, a cold smile on his face.

"They threw it in front of one of their Soul Hall's Earthly Fiend Branch Hall."

"Hmm." Xiao Han nodded gently, and the Second Elder returned to his seat upon seeing this.

Looking around at the expressions of indignation and satisfaction on everyone's faces, Xiao Han slowly spoke:

"Since the Soul Clan has issued a challenge to us, then we should give them a proper welcome."

"But..." someone said worriedly at this moment:

"Elder Ye, he..."

"Make your move!" A cold voice suddenly interrupted the words that were about to be spoken. Everyone's hearts skipped a beat. After all, they were very familiar with the owner of the voice. It was Grand Elder Ye Jianxin, who was also Ye Shenghan's father.

Ye Jianxin said indifferently, "You don't need to feel any burden. I will bear all the consequences myself."

The implication was that Ye Jianxin was willing to disregard the life or death of his own son in order to give the Soul Clan a piece of the pie.

Xiao Han felt helpless and said:

"Send a message to the Soul Hall: I will not personally attack the Soul Clan for five years. This is my bottom line!"

What the Soul Clan truly feared was not the immense power of the Langya Pavilion, but rather him Nine Star Dou Sheng was in charge of the Langya Pavilion and acted recklessly.

Therefore, Xiao Han's proposal can be seen as a deliberate act of sealing him off as the strongest combatant of the Langya Pavilion. Without him, Langya Pavilion would not pose a significant threat to the Soul Clan.

Everyone present was a true core member of the Langya Pavilion, and they naturally understood the meaning behind Xiao Han's words, yet no one dared to refute them.

Seeing this, Xiao Han's lips curled slightly, a gentle smile concealing a terrifying killing intent.

"Next, we need to discuss how to cause some trouble for the Soul Hall."

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly. How dare they kidnap someone from their Langya Pavilion? They didn't know what death was!

Heavenly Mansion.

After reading the letter in his hand, Elder Yao frowned deeply and exclaimed in shock, "Has the Langya Pavilion gone mad?"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed what heinous things the Soul Hall had done that would cause the lone-wolf Langya Pavilion Master to extend an invitation to the Heavenly Mansion to launch a joint attack.

The letter also promised that all expenses during the battle would be borne by the Langya Pavilion. The fact that Langya Pavilion would offer such a generous offer speaks volumes about their determination to deal with the Soul Hall.

He immediately became beaming with joy. Being able to deal with the Soul Hall was a godsend!

A crimson jade Jade Pendant appeared in his palm. Elder Yao crushed it with a slight force, and a strange fluctuation emanated from it, gradually merging into the space.

Within a day, representatives of the Founding Elder of the Heavenly Mansion appeared in the meeting hall of the Starfall Pavilion.

Upon meeting, Elder Yao heard the wild laughter of Fire Cloud Old Ancestor.

"Yao Chen, did you summon us here to expect us to let your Starfall Pavilion win the battle for the Bodhi Ancient Tree?"

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed and turned their curious gazes toward the slightly excited Elder Yao.

The latter smiled slightly, flicked his fingers, and several streaks of Flowing Light shot towards the tables beside the group.

"Please take a good look!"

A short while later...

"Is this true?" The voice of the Fire Cloud Old Ancestor echoed once again in the conference hall, rough yet filled with intense astonishment.

Not only Fire Cloud Old Ancestor, but everyone else also said in disbelief:

"What did the Soul Hall do to provoke the Langya Pavilion?"

"I do have a clue about that," Elder Yao said with a light laugh.

He didn't do nothing all day; he naturally found out something.

After the Elder Yao explained the situation in detail, everyone fell silent.

After an unknown amount of time, someone said:

"Has the Soul Hall gone mad?"

"Yes." This statement won everyone's heartfelt agreement.

Killing a few people and capturing powerful Soul Body is one thing, and the occasional ambushes of the younger generation of various forces are also understandable.

Everything was built on the premise that there was no success, and everyone could tolerate it.

But the person captured by the Soul Hall this time is no small fry; he is one of the heirs of the Langya Pavilion!

Furthermore, all indications suggest that Ye Shenghan's strength has most likely reached the Dou Sheng level, which is the foundation of a force.

These two identities alone are significant enough, let alone when they are combined.

"So, what have you all decided?" Elder Yao asked.

A major war cannot be started easily. Even if the two sides join forces and have an overwhelming advantage over the Soul Hall, they will have to pay an extremely heavy price to completely destroy the other side. They must carefully consider the matter.

However, to the Elder Yao's surprise...

"What's there to consider?" Fire Cloud Old Ancestor waved his hand.

"Didn't Langya Pavilion say they would cover the expenses? When will we ever get such a good deal again? I've been holding back these disgusting things from the Soul Hall for a long time."

"That's right, I also believe this is a great opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Soul Hall," the Pill Tower Grand Elder said with a faint smile, his tone firm.

"Yao Chen, it's your decision!" The Grand Elder the Flower Sect stared intently at Elder Yao and said softly.

"Since that's the case..." Elder Yao immediately said:

"I will reply to the Langya Pavilion immediately!"

In terms of hatred, who could be more vengeful than him? He had long since been unable to contain himself against the bastards of the Soul Hall.

While Heavenly Mansion and Langya Pavilion were sharpening their knives, some subtle changes were also taking place in the Soul Hall.

"Greetings, Elder Hun Jing!" Hun Miesheng bowed to the newcomer.

"Hmm." Hun Jing nodded faintly. "Langya Pavilion might be about to give in, right?"

"Yes." Hun Miesheng bowed his head and said, "According to our intelligence, Langya Pavilion seems to be preparing to join forces with the Heavenly Mansion to attack my Soul Hall."

Sensing that Hun Jing was slightly displeased with his words that boosted the morale of others while diminishing his own, Hun Miesheng changed the subject and said:

"But with Elder Hun Jing personally overseeing things, everything will be fine..."

"Alright, no need to flatter me."

Hun Jing Ancient Well Still Tunnel:

"I am not so arrogant as to disregard these two forces. If it weren't for the fact that the Ice Saint had to intervene, even our own clan would be in great trouble."

Hun Jing still had some self-awareness. Back then, his colleagues were powerless against the Ice Saint. When he looked at Hun Tu, who was like a dead dog, he was filled with fear.

If the Soul Clan hadn't planned ahead and managed to capture Ye Shenghan, it would have been a pipe dream to seal off such a restricted weapon.

This plan seems simple, but it is extremely difficult to implement. Not to mention how to track the other party's whereabouts, one must also guard against Ye Shenghan's means of self-preservation. All of these factors must be taken into account.

Even so, an unexpected event still occurred. Ye Shenghan, who was only a late-stage Two-Star Dou Sheng at the time, actually broke through the spatial blockade of that Five-Star Dou Sheng expert, and even took the opportunity to send his wife and daughter away.

Otherwise, the Soul Clan would have had an even greater bargaining chip.

Thinking of this, Hun Jing suddenly asked, "How is Hun Ying's condition?"

Hun Jing still had some recollection of the Vice Hall Master went to deliver a message but was severely injured by the Langya Pavilion and left in front of the Soul Hall.

Upon hearing this, Hun Miesheng revealed a cold expression, shook his head, and sighed:

"My left arm is ruined, and my body has been completely destroyed by an extremely domineering Cold Qi. It will take a lot of effort to recover, and it is impossible for me to make any progress in this lifetime."

"My clan will not mistreat him," Hun Jing casually remarked, then paid no further attention.

"From now on, we will proactively consolidate the Soul Hall's forces and prepare to deal with their joint attack."

"Yes!"

Hun Miesheng slowly retreated.
