At Venerable Xuan Yin's words, Chen Xuan frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on Valley Master Qingyou before him.
Valley Master Qingyou had clearly suffered grievous injuries in a fight, which had then endangered her pregnancy. Even now, her injuries had not improved.
"Your Majesty, is something wrong?!"
Seeing Chen Xuan's slight frown, Venerable Xuan Yin's expression changed, and she asked nervously.
"I would like to ask you, Valley Master, how exactly you sustained these injuries."
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Xuan looked at Valley Master Qingyou and voiced his question.
At this, Valley Master Qingyou's expression shifted slightly. Then she sighed. "It is nothing I cannot speak of. Since you wish to know, Your Majesty, I will tell you."
"On one of my trips outside, I encountered Old Man Mu Gu. He was the one who injured me."
A strange gleam appeared in Chen Xuan's eyes. "Old Man Mu Gu? The Soul Hall?!"
"Yes, Old Man Mu Gu of the Soul Hall. His strength is only that of a Three-Star Dou Zun, but his soul power has already entered the spirit realm. He is a genuine Eighth-Tier Alchemy Master."
"Caught completely off guard, I was no match for him. Had Xuan Yin not arrived in time, I might have died!"
Valley Master Qingyou's gaze turned cold. Clearly, she had no affection for those from the Soul Hall.
"Hmph! The Soul Hall has grown increasingly brazen in recent years. They even dared to ambush the valley master of our Sound Valley so openly."
Venerable Xuan Yin's expression was utterly grim.
Even so, Venerable Xuan Yin could do nothing about it. The Soul Hall was a mountain weighing down on practically every top faction on the Central Plains Continent. Even a power as mighty as the Pill Tower could only protect itself
