”What?”

Wei Yang lifted his head, black flames and lightning flickering in his eyes, like two black suns bursting with light.

Hmph!

Just that one look, and the gaunt old man couldn’t help but grunt softly. His feet stumbled back two steps, and he hurriedly looked away, not daring to meet his gaze again.

The entire place fell into dead silence.

”Don’t be so arrogant, it’s pointless.” Wei Yang withdrew his scorching gaze and said calmly, ”Also, come down. Don’t stand up there acting all high and mighty. I don’t like looking up when I talk to people.”

Upon hearing this, the gaunt old man’s chest seemed to heave several times. Then, under everyone’s stunned eyes, he obediently descended with his group and stood on the ground.

”Not bad. That’s better.” Wei Yang nodded. ”So, how should I address you?”

The old man lifted his hand, pushed back his hood, revealing a dry, withered face, and said slowly, ”This old man is Qiong Tian Zun.”

”Oh.” Wei Yang nodded slightly, then asked with casual indifference, ”The Hall of Souls seems a bit short on manpower lately, doesn’t it? Knowing I’m here, your Hall Master still sent only five of you to cause trouble for me?”

At those words, Qiong Tian Zun’s gaze sharpened, black mist surging violently around his body. He said in a deep voice, ”Wei Yang, the Hall Master sent me here this time with other orders. We’re not here for you, nor are we here to fight you over that so-called Heaven Grade Dou Technique.”

Uh.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Some even nearly burst out laughing. Many caught the hidden meaning in Qiong Tian Zun’s words.

He was basically saying: Wei Yang, I’m not here for you, and I won’t compete for the Heaven Grade Dou Technique. So don’t come picking a fight. Let’s just mind our own business.

The Hall of Souls had backed down.

”I see. That makes sense.” Wei Yang looked suddenly enlightened, then said with a hint of disappointment, ”I thought you were here to cause trouble for me. I even got ready for it.”

Qiong Tian Zun’s shriveled face twitched.

Who the hell would be stupid enough to come looking for trouble with you! Isn’t living a good life better?

He took a deep breath and said nothing. Seeing this, Wei Yang lost interest, glanced aside, and stopped paying attention to him. Qiong Tian Zun kept a blank face, but in truth, he let out a long sigh of relief inside.

The only reason he had made such a flashy entrance earlier was to try and intimidate Wei Yang—keep the man guessing about his strength. But to his dread, Wei Yang had immediately locked eyes on him.

For a moment there, he’d thought he was dead.

Fortunately, Wei Yang just said a few words and seemed to lose interest in him afterward.Qiong Tian Zun’s feelings were a bit complicated. He was both relieved and... insulted.

Relieved that Wei Yang wasn’t interested in him. Insulted because, well, Wei Yang wasn’t interested in him—he was a dignified Tian Zun of the Hall of Souls, and that guy just brushed him off!

Without a word, Qiong Tian Zun led his group aside, choosing a spot far away from Wei Yang.

Everyone stared in disbelief, feeling like what they’d just witnessed couldn’t be real. Since when had the people of the Hall of Souls ever been this...many glanced at that strange, domineering figure, unable to help but suck in a cold breath, their hearts trembling.

It seemed this man was even more terrifying than they’d imagined!

After all, even a Tian Zun from the Hall of Souls had chosen to lower his head before him in public—something almost unheard of. Not far away, Tang Zhen also looked on in shock, deeply shaken inside.

This young man... truly wasn’t simple.

”Brother Wei?” Xiao Yan stepped closer, transmitting his voice quietly as his gaze swept coldly toward the direction of the Hall of Souls members.

”Just a few small fry, not worth your attention.” Wei Yang said calmly, ”Focus on that Dou Sheng skeleton. As for the Hall of Souls, we’ll deal with them later.”

”Got it.” Xiao Yan nodded and said no more. He naturally understood which mattered more right now.

Time passed, second by second.

Under countless watchful eyes—the light clusters floating in midair within the great hall were growing dimmer and dimmer.

”The seal is about to fade.” Wei Yang spoke softly. As his words fell, the ten light clusters suddenly trembled violently.

Bang!

In the next instant, they burst out with blinding light. Within that dazzling glow, the scrolls inside each cluster transformed into streaks of light, shooting in all directions.

The entire hall instantly boiled over.

Boom!

The once silent, tense atmosphere erupted like a calm lake suddenly struck by a giant stone. In just a heartbeat, the hall was thrown into complete chaos.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

As the seals on the light clusters shattered, ten scrolls—each glowing with a different hue—shot out as streaks of light in all directions.

Through the streaks of light wrapping the scrolls, one could vaguely see that each scroll carried an aura of immense antiquity, a breath of ancient power spreading out from within. That sight caused the eyes of many powerful experts to turn blood-red, their breathing suddenly growing heavier.

”Heaven Grade Dou Techniques—they’ve appeared!”

”Go!”

”The Heaven Grade Dou Techniques are in there! Grab them!”

As the ten streaks of light shot off in all directions, the hall—silent for only a blink of an eye—erupted into chaos as sharp cries echoed out one after another.

Then—bang, bang, bang!—a wave of powerful Dou Qi surged forth all at once, erupting densely throughout the grand hall.

Countless figures leapt forward like a swarm of locusts, throwing themselves madly toward the scrolls wrapped in light. In the chaos, some people couldn’t resist starting to fight each other already.

”Get lost!”

Boom!

Of course, that was still a minority—for now, most people still rushed straight for the scrolls, their eyes locked on their targets.

Yet those ten streaks of light seemed to possess their own intelligence. As they flew, they actually twisted and swerved on their own, nimbly dodging all the grabbing hands that reached for them.

Soon, the scene grew utterly chaotic.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In midair, figures clashed endlessly, bodies weaving across the sky as the sounds of combat thundered through the hall.

One after another, figures spat blood and fell heavily to the ground below, the dull thuds echoing through the hall and making many onlookers’ hearts race. Those maniacs—they were all fighting to the death!

At the same time, no one noticed that the dozen or so grayish-white stone puppets surrounding the stone seats had suddenly opened their eyes, eyes that had been sealed shut for countless years. In that instant, a dense killing aura burst forth from the puppets, spreading violently through the air.

Amidst the chaos, there were still a few people who remained calm, standing quietly where they were, unmoved. They watched coldly as the situation in the air spiraled completely out of control.

”Zi Yan, don’t move yet.” Xiao Yan’s expression was tense as he reached out to stop the restless girl beside him, speaking in a low voice.

”If we wait any longer, others will snatch everything first.” Zi Yan said.

”What’s the rush? Right now, whoever grabs one first will only become everyone’s target.” Xiao Yan said, ”With that many people around, even a single palm strike from the crowd could crush your small body.”

”Oh.” Zi Yan shrank her neck, frightened by his words.

Beside them, Tang Zhen also nodded slightly, signaling for the restless experts from Burning Flame Valley to stay put. Then, his gaze locked tightly on the streaks of light darting around midair amidst countless powerhouses.

He spoke softly, ”Mr. Wei, little friend Xiao Yan, can you tell which of those scrolls is the Heaven Grade Dou Technique?”

Wei Yang shook his head silently.

”I can’t tell, but none of those ten scrolls are ordinary. In fact, they’re likely the high-grade Dou Techniques or cultivation techniques I’ve ever seen in all these years!”

”The surfaces of those scrolls have clearly been tampered with using some special means. Unless we get our hands on one and inspect it closely, it’s nearly impossible to sense their true nature just by perception alone.” Xiao Yan also shook his head as he spoke.

In his perception, each of those ten streaks of light contained a strange and powerful energy. It was clear that the Dou Techniques or cultivation techniques contained within them would not be of a low grade.

By his estimation—excluding the Flame Mantra among the techniques he had learned—only the Nine Dragon Fire Control Technique and the God Seal Technique could compare with the power radiating from these scrolls.

Obviously, the Dou Techniques or cultivation methods represented by those scrolls were at least of Quasi-Heaven Grade level!

In other words, the weakest among those ten scrolls were at least High-Level Earth Grade, and possibly even Quasi-Heaven Grade!
