Afterward, Si Tingxuan turned to look in the direction of Hua Residence.

At that moment, two figures were fleeing at top speed!

They could also be seen carrying someone between them.

They were the three people who had initially pursued Hua Qingluo and Hua Wufeng.

His eyes narrowed, shooting forth a chilling killing intent.

Since he had already killed a Spirit Hall Soul Douluo, there was no possibility of settling this peacefully.

The key was that, with his current strength, he was not yet capable of facing Spirit Hall's retaliation!

He had to buy himself some time so that he could rapidly grow stronger through the system.

Therefore.

Today, he was afraid he would have to begin a massacre!

He turned to look in the direction of the Hua Family.

There, two figures carrying someone were fleeing at high speed.

They were the Hua Family's Seventh Elder and Eighth Elder.

Both of them possessed the strength of Soul Kings!

Perhaps in a small town, they could be considered notable figures.

But the one they were facing now was Si Tingxuan!

That made them nothing at all!

The Seventh Elder could not help but curse, "Has the old family head gone mad? What was he thinking, making an enemy out of such a monster? Isn't that just courting death?"

The Eighth Elder said, "Who the hell knows? This Si Tingxuan is actually such a freak that he even killed the Spirit Hall Vice Bishop, a Soul Douluo."

Hearing this, the Seventh Elder did not know how to refute him.

Indeed, no one could have expected Si Tingxuan to be this powerful.

In the end, he gritted his teeth. "Just wait! He won't be arrogant for much longer. He killed Spirit Hall's Vice Bishop, and Spirit Hall will absolutely never let him go."

The Eighth Elder nodded. "Come to think of it, this Si Tingxuan is quite scheming. He broke through to Soul Sage and did not say a word about it."

Yet they failed to notice.

A figure was following behind them.

He had heard every word they said.

Naturally, that figure was Si Tingxuan. At this moment, his eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Tsk, tsk. I broke through, and I have to report it to you? What arrogance!"

"Ah!"

The Seventh Elder and Eighth Elder both shuddered in fright.

Then, instinctively turning their heads, they discovered Si Tingxuan less than three meters away from them.

Both of their faces filled with terror.

Si Tingxuan continued, "Don't forget. I helped the Hua Family and saved them from being wiped out by the Oriental Family."

"I never expected you to repay me, but for you to stab me in the back like this is truly ungrateful!"

As he spoke, the cold gleam in Si Tingxuan's eyes intensified.

At the same time, he raised both hands. Flames surged from one, while the other emitted bone-piercing cold.

Combined with Si Tingxuan's killing intent, he looked like a god of slaughter who had emerged from hell.

"Y-you... what are you going to do?"

Si Tingxuan sneered. "What am I going to do? Can't you see? Of course I'm going to kill you! You don't honestly think that after plotting against me alongside those people from Spirit Hall, I would let you go, do you?"

The Eighth Elder was horrified. "But our eldest young lady is your disciple—"

Bang

The gap in strength between them and Si Tingxuan was far too great.

The moment Si Tingxuan attacked, they did not even have the chance to summon their martial souls or soul rings.

Both were struck directly in the heart.

The Eighth Elder had not even finished speaking before his heart froze into fragments.

The Seventh Elder beside him did not escape either. The difference was that his heart had been burned to a crisp.

Looking at the Seventh Elder and Eighth Elder lying on the ground, Si Tingxuan said coldly, "What idiots! Your eldest young lady is my disciple, not you. Even if you were my disciples, if you dared plot against me, Si Tingxuan, I would still kill you without hesitation!"

Afterward, he glanced at the Spirit Hall member, whose body had frozen stiff as he stared at him in terror.

Si Tingxuan gave him a brilliant smile. "Tell me! Which members of the Hua Family were involved?"

The Spirit Hall member said, "..."

Silence!

The smile on Si Tingxuan's face became even brighter. Flames appeared once more over his right hand, and he said kindly, "Would you like to experience Ice and Fire Double Heaven?"

As he spoke, Si Tingxuan raised his flaming palm before the man's face and slowly brought it closer.

If a sharp sword were placed before your eyes and moved closer bit by bit.

You would understand the fear in this Spirit Hall member's heart at this moment.

What humans feared most was not death, but having the process leading to death slowed down tenfold.

Although the flames in Si Tingxuan's hand were still half a meter away from him, the Spirit Hall member seemed to already feel their scorching heat.

Even though his face remained covered in white frost!

Icy cold.

As the flames continued to draw closer, the pressure upon his soul and his fear of death gradually shattered the resolve in his heart.

When Si Tingxuan's flaming palm was only fifteen centimeters from his face, he broke down.

He completely broke down and revealed everything he knew.

All he wanted was a quick death. Seeing how decisively Si Tingxuan killed, he knew that survival was already impossible.

Having obtained what he wanted to know, Si Tingxuan nodded in satisfaction.

He was a man of his word. He had said he would give him a quick death!

And he would absolutely keep his word!

With a single palm strike, he directly shattered the man's heart. It was so fast that it happened in an instant!

The man felt no discomfort at all before going to join Vice Bishop Qin Haoyuan.

The Hua Family.

The old family head sat in the seat of honor.

To his left and right sat the current family head and a middle-aged man dressed in Spirit Hall robes.

Below them sat the Hua Family's elders.

Some of them wore strange expressions as they looked at the three people seated above.

Although the old family head sat in the seat of honor, he wore a fawning expression toward the middle-aged man on his left.

Then, he addressed everyone below. "This is Lord Wu Bingchong from Spirit Hall! He is a powerful Soul Sage!"

The hot-tempered Great Elder below could not help but ask, "Old family head, what do you mean by this?"

They were, after all, a Soul Master Family of the Baroque Kingdom.

Therefore, they belonged to the Baroque Kingdom's faction.

They were not ordinary civilian soul masters.

Yet now, they had invited a Spirit Hall Soul Sage to sit in a position of honor. This was truly inappropriate!

It meant directly standing against the entire Baroque Kingdom.

Several elders did not speak, but their faces were similarly filled with confusion.

The others, however, remained calm and composed, as though they had long known everything.

The old family head extended both hands and pressed them downward, signaling everyone to remain calm!

Then, with high spirits, he declared, "I called everyone here today to announce one matter: from today onward, our Hua Family will join Spirit Hall and become a part of Spirit Hall!"

"Spirit Hall will bring Meng Xin to the Holy City and cultivate her as a future core member."

"I believe everyone here is sensible, so I need not say more, right?"

"This..."

The Great Elder and the others looked at one another. This news had come far too suddenly.

Just then, a voice sounded from outside the room. "Indeed, there is no need to say more. One simple sentence has answered all my doubts!"
