Chen Yang gladly accepted the system's mission.
Following the system's guidance, he tore open space and left the Cloud Yang Sect, heading for the first location it indicated.
Several Soul Hall Protectors appeared in an unnamed village on the border of the Central Plains. After arriving, they buried formation stones around the village and set up the Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Formation.
Once they finished setting up the formation, they would head to the next village and lay down another.
But just as they were about to leave, they sensed a supreme aura descending from overhead into this remote village.
The aura was terrifying beyond measure. Its immense power actually affected the weather.
The sky, clear for miles just moments ago, suddenly filled with rolling black clouds, as though a world-ending thunderstorm was about to descend upon the mortal realm.
The Soul Hall Protectors stared intently at the sky, their eyes grave.
With an aura like that, the newcomer was likely an enemy, not a friend.
The Soul Hall's enemies now spanned the entire Dou Qi Continent. The most troublesome among them was the continent's current overlord, the Cloud Yang Sect, known as the sect above all sects.
The Soul Hall Protectors made a swift decision. Before that aura fully descended, they would immediately leave the village or hide within it.
Yet a moment later, the aura locked directly onto their positions.
Every Soul Hall Protector's expression changed drastically as they were targeted.
Terror filled their faces and eyes.
They all raised their gazes toward the source of the aura. High above, a long, pitch-black spatial rift slowly tore open, revealing a figure in white. He possessed the bearing of a banished immortal and the peerless beauty of a sage. In looks alone, he could wipe the floor with countless Eddie Pengs.
