In the silent valley, rustling sounds quietly arose. A black torrent instantly flooded the valley hidden within this space, steadily advancing toward the enormous square at its center.
Dozens of figures sat in meditation atop the massive stone pillars surrounding the black square. At the sudden sounds from the valley, their eyes snapped open.
"Prepare to defend!"
"The Stone-Eating Ant Swarm has gotten in. Outsiders must be attacking our branch hall. We must not allow a single one of them into our Soul Hall."
At the sight of the densely packed, countless Stone-Eating Ant Swarm, a Purple-Robed Protector spoke coldly.
"Yes!"
The dozens of Soul Hall members answered with chilling voices, their auras surging violently from their bodies. Every one of them had reached the Dou Zong realm, and most were high-level Dou Zong experts.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Meanwhile, Chen Xuan and the others appeared directly above the square, looking down at the dozens of Soul Hall members.
"Your Majesty, leave this place to us. You and Xiao Yan should hurry and rescue Yao Chen."
Looking at the Soul Hall members, Venerable Feng spoke without hesitation.
Chen Xuan was the strongest among them. Sending him and Xiao Yan gave them the greatest chance of rescuing Yao Chen, and even if something unexpected happened, his formidable strength would provide a safeguard.
Chen Xuan said nothing more. With a slight wave of his hand, nine Road Puppets appeared instantly, their entire bodies suffused with a faint golden hue.
Sensing the puppets' auras, everyone present immediately brightened with joy. Every puppet had reached the Peak Dou Zong realm. With their help, these experts would not have to waste time being held up by the Soul Hall members.
Rumble!
An instant later, everyone attacked alongside the puppets, their terrifying pressure shaking heaven and earth.
