Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

95: Chapter 94 The Soul Palace’s Actions”Hehehe, Old Nine, with a powerhouse of your caliber at the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Zun level taking action, capturing Yao Chen, who is still in soul form, should be incredibly simple, right?”

The Grand Heavenly Lord spoke, his voice filled with the scent of decay, like an old man on the verge of death. In fact, the Grand Heavenly Lord’s lifespan was indeed coming to an end; if not for the Hall of Souls helping him break through to a Two-Star Dou Sheng, he might have died long ago.

It was precisely because of the Hall of Souls’ help that he chose to join them and become the Grand Heavenly Lord. He could be considered the most powerful figure below the Hall Master and Vice Hall Master. This system of Ninth Celestial was also established by him to facilitate the management of the branch halls below.

One must know that among the nine Celestials, even the one with the lowest cultivation, the Ninth Celestial, possessed the cultivation of a peak Eight-Star Dou Zun, and there were even two Saints. It could be said to be the strongest faction in the Central Plains on the surface.

”Grand Heavenly Lord, please rest assured. I, Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu, am willing to sign a military pledge. This time, heading to the Northwest Continent, I will definitely bring Yao Chen and Xiao Yi Xian back. If I cannot complete the mission, I am willing to accept punishment!”

Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu said sternly. He did not look at the Northwest Continent in his eyes at all. Even if the Northwest Continent had a powerhouse capable of slaying a peak Five-Star Dou Zun, he, an Eight-Star Dou Zun, was not afraid. Although the gap between an eight-star and a five-star appeared to be only a mere two stars, the difference in strength once a fight broke out would be worlds apart.

”Good, Old Nine, with those words from you, I am relieved. However, you should still bring a few more Celestials with you to prevent overturning in the gutter. One must still be careful of that old fellow Yao Chen; after all, he was once a peerless powerhouse at the peak of the Dou Zun level, as well as an Eight-Rank peak Alchemist.”

The 8th Heavenly Venerable, Qiudi, also instructed Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu, as the fall of an Eight-Star Dou Zun powerhouse would be incredibly heartbreaking even for the Hall of Souls.

”Hehehe, everyone, rest assured, I will be back soon.”

Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu stood up, cupped his hands toward the Grand Heavenly Lord and said, ”Grand Heavenly Lord, in that case, I shall set off immediately.”

”Mm, go. I will wait for your good news at the Hall of Souls.”

The Grand Heavenly Lord replied indifferently. He did not believe that Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu would fall in the Northwest Continent. After all, his strength was there, and he was relatively assured regarding Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu.

But he did not know that Chen Yang happened to be in the Northwest Continent. The mobilization of the Hall of Souls would only be in vain; not only would they fail to capture the targets, but they would also lose many high-level combatants.

Watching Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu tear through space and leave, the Grand Heavenly Lord also stood up and slowly said, ”In that case, let everyone begin acting. Search carefully within your respective jurisdictions; even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must bring that Xiao Yi Xian back to me.”

”Yes, we will strictly follow the Grand Heavenly Lord’s orders!”

All the Celestials stood up and replied in unison.

”...”

In an incredibly hidden mountain range, a branch hall of the Hall of Souls, the Earth-Fiend Hall.

Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu suddenly appeared here, and immediately, two men, one in black and one in white, came out to welcome him.

”Subordinates pay respects to Lord Ninth Celestial.”

Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu nodded and said indifferently, ”The two of you will accompany me to the Northwest Continent to bring Yao Chen to justice.”

”There is no time to lose; we will set off immediately, so as not to let that old fellow Yao Chen run away.”

”Subordinates obey.”

The three of them directly tore through space and headed toward the Northwest Continent. Meanwhile, our Venerable Yao and Xiao Yan were still bitterly cultivating at Jia Nan Academy, completely unaware that the Hall of Souls was about to come knocking on their door.

Jia Nan Academy.

A man dressed in green appeared in front of the protective barrier of the Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy. Immediately, The Two Elders Qian Bai, two Dou Zun powerhouses, appeared and looked at Wind Idle vigilantly.

”Who are you, and what are you doing at Jia Nan Academy?”

Elder Qian asked first, looking at Wind Idle with a solemn expression. In his senses, the person in front of him was very powerful, at least a Dou Zun powerhouse of three stars or higher. He and Elder Bai were both One-Star Dou Zuns and might not be his match.

”Haha, the two of you need not be nervous. I am Wind Idle, the Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion. I have come here to find someone.”

Although Wind Idle spoke gently on the surface, he could not help but be surprised in his heart. He had not expected that this Jia Nan Academy actually had two Dou Zun powerhouses, even if they were both One-Star Dou Zuns.

But one must know that in the Four Pavilions of the Central Plains, there was only one Dou Zun powerhouse.

As expected of the best academy on the Fighting Qi Continent; it truly lives up to its reputation.

”Find someone? Who are you looking for?”

Elder Bai immediately asked upon hearing Wind Idle say he was looking for someone.

”Xiao Yan!”

Hearing Wind Idle say Xiao Yan, the two were surprised. They had not expected Xiao Yan to be in their academy. After watching the live stream, they naturally knew that Xiao Yan’s master was Venerable Yao. In other words, if Xiao Yan was inside, then Venerable Yao must also be inside.

”May I call out? I believe Xiao Yan will certainly come out to meet me once he hears my voice.”

Wind Idle said calmly.

The Two Elders Qian Bai looked at each other and slowly said, ”In that case, Wind Venerable, you may call out.”

”Wind Idle is here; please come out and meet me!”

Wind Idle shouted loudly. The massive sound instantly resounded throughout the entire Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy. Xiao Yan, who was cultivating, naturally heard it too.

”Teacher, it is Wind Venerable who has come.”

Xiao Yan’s face was filled with excitement; after all, he was now a person with a backer.

”Hahaha, Little Yan-zi, there is no need for that. Come, let me take you to meet my good friend.”

In the past half a year, Xiao Yan had long since reached the Dou Wang level. A pair of red Fighting Qi wings appeared, and Xiao Yan immediately flew toward the place where the sound came from.

Wind Idle waved his fan, waiting calmly for Venerable Yao to appear. Sure enough, not long after, a fiery red figure flew toward this side.

The Two Elders Qian Bai naturally saw this figure as well, and looks of shock appeared in their eyes.

”I didn’t expect that Xiao Yan was actually in Jia Nan Academy.”

”Hahaha, old fellow, long time no see.”

Venerable Yao emerged from the storage ring and flew beside Xiao Yan, speaking to Wind Idle in a hearty manner.

”Old friend, being able to see you again is truly great.”

Seeing Venerable Yao appear, Wind Idle also revealed an excited expression, but looking at Venerable Yao’s soul form, he said with uncontrollable rage, ”Old fellow, I didn’t expect that heartless person Han Feng would actually harm you to such a state. Where is he now? I will capture him right now and leave him to your disposal.”

Venerable Yao shook his head and said with a sad face, ”Han Feng, that rebellious disciple has already been finished off by my own hands.”

Hearing this, Wind Idle nodded and said, ”That beast Han Feng deserved to die, but being able to take revenge personally has also resolved a piece of karma.”

”Hehehe, I didn’t expect to find you as soon as I arrived in the Black-Corner Region, Yao Chen.”

A man with a face full of bloodthirst appeared in front of Venerable Yao and Wind Idle, bringing with him two figures, one black and one white.

”Ninth Celestial of the Hall of Souls!!!”

Venerable Yao’s expression changed instantly upon seeing the person in front of him. He had not expected that the Hall of Souls would actually send the Ninth Celestial to capture him. One must know that this was a peak Eight-Star Dou Zun powerhouse.

This was not something that Wind Idle, a Four-Star Dou Zun, could compare to.

”A fierce battle is about to come.”
