Xiao Yan finished speaking and stared coldly at the Hall of Souls Protector who still looked unwilling.

Killing intent filled his face as he said, ”If you don’t speak, I’ll send you to the after life right now. There are plenty of Hall of Souls Protectors here, no one will miss you!”

There was absolutely no trace of a joke in his tone.

The Hall of Souls was terrifyingly powerful. Every extra second he stayed on their turf meant an additional layer of danger. So, if this Protector dared to waste time, he would kill him without the slightest hesitation!

Seeing the sinister expression on Xiao Yan’s face, a flash of fear immediately surfaced on the Protector’s features. In his heart, he was silently cursing. Out of all the Protectors here, why did they have to catch him?

”The souls here are mostly kept in the Soul-Locking Hall.”

Sensing the dense killing intent in Xiao Yan’s eyes, the Hall of Souls Protector no longer dared to play tricks. He could only speak tremblingly.

”Lead the way, or die!”

Seeing the man cooperating, Xiao Yan didn’t kill him immediately. Instead, he spoke coldly. The unlucky Protector hurriedly pointed toward one side of the grand hall and said, ”Turn left ahead.”

”Hmph, if you dare take me the wrong way, I’ll let you experience something worse than death!”

Following the direction the Protector pointed at, Xiao Yan let out a cold snort. Right after, he stomped the ground and his figure turned into a black shadow, shooting toward the passage like lightning.

As for Feng Zun Zhe and the others, the moment they saw Xiao Yan leave, the boundless aura that belonged solely to a Dou Zun erupted without restraint.

”Boom!”

Nine Dou Zun experts erupted simultaneously. The force was so overwhelming that the supporting stone pillars inside the massive hall shattered instantly.

A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, causing more than half of the Hall of Souls Protectors present to vomit blood and be blasted backward.

”Daring to cause trouble in my Hall of Souls, are you looking for death?”

Just as they were wreaking havoc inside the grand hall, an enraged roar resounded across the sky. Immediately after, two figures filled with murderous intent shot out violently from within the hall.

Once they stabilized themselves, one of the Hall of Souls Elders swept his gaze around and recognized Feng Zun Zhe. He immediately sneered, ”So you people from Falling Star Pavilion really did come to save that old fool Yao Chen.”

”You Hall of Souls dogs, where’d you get so much nonsense? Die for me!”

Seeing the two elders, a Seven-Star Dou Zun who held an irreconcilable blood feud with the Hall of Souls roared furiously and charged straight toward the two, whose strengths were only that of a Three-Star and a Two-Star Dou Zun.

”Hmph, did you really think we would show up without any preparation?”

Knowing they couldn’t defeat these nine Dou Zuns head-on, the branch hall master and vice hall master let out a smug smile. Then, each quickly took out a spatial jade slip and crushed it.

”Boom!”

As the two jade slips shattered, a powerful spatial force tore through the space within the hall, forming two spatial cracks.

Immediately, a blue figure and a white figure slowly walked out from within the ruptured space. When the two appeared, a streak of blue Dou Qi shot out abruptly, intercepting the charging Seven-Star Dou Zun.

Seizing the chance, the two branch hall masters hurriedly retreated behind the blue and white figures, looking proudly at Feng Zun Zhe and the others.

Then, the three-star Dou Zun hall master cupped his hands and said, ”Lord Ninth Tian Zun, Lord Eighth Tian Zun, these people are the ones who killed many of our Hall of Souls members earlier. Please take action and kill them.”

”All right. The two of you go outside the hall and seal the spatial prison we set up earlier to prevent them from escaping. Leave everything else to us.”

Hearing this, the white-robed Eighth Tian Zun waved his hand.

”Understood.”

Hearing that they were only being ordered to go outside the hall and maintain the spatial prison, the hall master and vice hall master both let out a deep sigh of relief and immediately replied.

As soon as their voices fell, the two of them each tore open a spatial crack before them. Without even looking back, they stepped inside and vanished from sight.

Seeing Eighth Tian Zun and Ninth Tian Zun send the two elders away, Feng Zun Zhe frowned slightly, feeling a bit confused.

Still, to maintain morale on his side, he turned to the others and said, ”Everyone, don’t panic. They only have two Eight-Star Dou Zuns. On our side, we have two Eight-Star Dou Zuns, three Seven-Star Dou Zuns, two Six-Star Dou Zuns, and two Two-Star Dou Zuns. We completely have the upper hand.”

”Feng Zun Zhe, rest assured. Just two Hall of Souls Tian Zuns—we’re not bothered.”

Seeing that the Hall of Souls only sent their weakest two Tian Zuns, another eight-star Dou Zun immediately smiled with confidence.

”That’s right. Why don’t we take this chance to slaughter these two Tian Zuns and let the Hall of Souls see our strength?”

The others also felt relieved at the situation and laughed as well. No matter how one looked at it, they clearly held the advantage. There’s no way the Hall of Souls brought a third Tian Zun… right?

”Hehe, I hope you can keep that confidence.”

Looking at the overly confident group of Dou Zuns, Eighth Tian Zun let out a cold smile.

Hearing this, the smiles on Feng Zun Zhe and the others’ faces vanished instantly. A faint sense of dread emerged in their hearts. Immediately, Feng Zun Zhe locked his gaze onto Eighth Tian Zun and said in a deep voice, ”What do you mean?”

”What he means is that there are three of us here.”

Just as Feng Zun Zhe and the others began to feel something was wrong, a voice suddenly rang out behind them. Everyone hastily turned their heads.

A third figure had appeared behind them at some unknown point.

”Nine-Star Dou Zun… Seventh Tian Zun!”

After clearly seeing the newcomer, the expressions of Feng Zun Zhe and the others were filled with shock.

”It seems Xiao Yan’s worries from before have really come true!”

Immediately, the words Xiao Yan once said at the Pill Tower resurfaced in all nine of their minds, filling them with mixed emotions.

Still, even when faced with this development, they weren’t particularly afraid. After all, Xiao Yan had warned them about this possibility before coming here. They already had some mental preparation for an encounter like this.

Besides, as long as they held out until Xiao Yan rescued Yao Chen, they could retreat immediately. Even if Seventh-, Eighth-, and Ninth Tian Zun joined forces, it was unlikely they could kill all nine of them in such a short time.

”Oh? You aren’t afraid? So you had already guessed?”

Seeing their shock but lack of fear, Seventh Tian Zun looked mildly surprised.

But soon, the corner of his lips curved into a faint smile. What he had prepared was far from just this. Then, Seventh Tian Zun lifted his head and looked toward the distant Eighth Tian Zun and Ninth Tian Zun, shouting:

”Old Eight, Old Nine—form the formation!”
