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

105: Chapter 104 The Exchange with the Medicine MasterFurthermore, this Chen Yang was not a person from the Fighting Qi Continent, but came from a mysterious place called the Primordial Ancient Star. Everyone kept guessing, assuming that such a place must harbor some unknown, peerless techniques.

”Gu You.”

The Grand Heavenly Lord slowly shifted his gaze to the Second Heavenly Venerable, Gu You, and said indifferently: ”I now order you to immediately lead all the remaining Heavenly Venerables to the Northwest Continent. Search with all your might for the whereabouts of Chen Yang and Yao Chen. You must bring them back to the Hall of Souls at any cost.”

Having said this, the Grand Heavenly Lord gently raised his hand and flipped it. A pitch-black jade slip shimmering with light appeared in his palm. Then, the Grand Heavenly Lord pushed it slowly, and the jade slip floated toward Gu You, while a low, hoarse voice entered Gu You’s ears.

”Gu You, this is a spatial jade slip refined by my own hand. If you find Chen Yang and Venerable Yao and find yourselves outmatched, crush the jade slip in time. I will sense it immediately and rush over to reinforce you.”

”However, I believe that with the formidable strength of you, Gu You, and the Third Heavenly Venerable—one a high-level Half-Saint and the other a low-level Half-Saint—plus the assistance of the other Heavenly Venerables, capturing a mere Dou Zun should be a simple task.”

Gu You’s expression tightened. He stood up with a ”whoosh,” looked at the Grand Heavenly Lord with a firm gaze, and said with a serious face: ”Grand Heavenly Lord, please rest assured. I will do my utmost on this trip. Even if I have to risk my old life, I will surely bring Chen Yang and Yao Chen back to the Hall of Souls for you to dispose of.”

The other Heavenly Venerables saw this and also stood up one after another, shouting in unison: ”Please rest assured, Grand Heavenly Lord. We will certainly not fail your expectations and will definitely capture Chen Yang, Yao Chen, and the others back to the Hall of Souls!”

The sound was imposing and echoed continuously throughout the great hall. The Grand Heavenly Lord nodded, stood up, and said indifferently: ”Go. Let this outsider, Chen Yang, see the methods of my Hall of Souls.”

”Yes!”

Gu You acknowledged, then led the remaining Heavenly Venerables as they strode out of the hall. The Grand Heavenly Lord watched them leave quietly, his eyes flickering with a complex light. He knew very well that Chen Yang’s strength was unfathomable, and he could not accurately estimate just how strong he was.

The Grand Heavenly Lord could not be certain whether the few he had sent out would be able to take down Chen Yang, but he assumed it shouldn’t be a major issue. After all, he had the jade slip he had personally refined. If they were outmatched, as long as they crushed the jade slip, he could directly tear through space and head to the Northwest Continent to strike at Chen Yang himself.

As long as he captured Chen Yang and obtained the secret within him, the day for the Hall of Souls to rule the Fighting Qi Continent would surely be just around the corner.

”Jie jie jie.”

Thinking of this, the Grand Heavenly Lord could not help but look up and laugh wildly. The laughter echoed continuously in the great hall, carrying a hint of complacency and arrogance, as if he had already seen the glorious future of the Hall of Souls unifying the Fighting Qi Continent in his mind.

”...”

Black-Corner Region, outside the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy.

Chen Yang looked at the corpse of the Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu, directly raised his hand and pressed it onto his skull, and unleashed the Undying Heavenly Art. Only to see the soul of the Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu being snatched out by Chen Yang in one go.

The Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu’s face was filled with extreme terror. He had originally wanted to hide his soul deep within his dead body, but he had not expected that Chen Yang would be able to discover it, and that he even possessed the same means as the Hall of Souls to extract a person’s soul from their body.

”You cannot kill me. Yao Chen, you know that we, the Ninth Heavenly Venerables, all have Soul Tablets in the Hall of Souls. As long as I die, the Hall of Souls will immediately discover it, and then they will surely dispatch even more powerful Heavenly Venerables to come and hunt you down.”

The Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu looked at Chen Yang with a ferocious expression and threatened.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang laughed ”hahaha,” looking at the soul of the Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu, his eyes filled with disdain.

”Go ahead and die. Anyway, the Hall of Souls isn’t trying to capture me, but Yao Chen. What does this have to do with me?”

Hearing Chen Yang’s words, Yao Chen and Xiao Yan’s faces darkened. They had not expected Chen Yang to actually say that it had nothing to do with him?

Wasn’t this Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu killed by you?

Weren’t these Black and White Heavenly Venerates killed by you?

Wasn’t the Heavenly Venerable Zhaixing killed by you?

And you say it has nothing to do with you?

If one were to talk about hatred with the Hall of Souls, he, Yao Chen, had not actually offended the Hall of Souls; the Hall of Souls only wanted him to join them. Whereas Chen Yang was truly in an irreconcilable feud with the Hall of Souls.

Starting from the Jiama Empire, Chen Yang had embarked on the path of killing Hall of Souls envoys, beginning with two Dou Zong protectors and a one-star Dou Zun, up to the current Black and White Heavenly Venerates, and plus this Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu who held quite a bit of influence within the Hall of Souls. You, Chen Yang, were the Hall of Souls’ number one enemy; even he, Yao Chen, had to rank behind you.

Yao Chen and Xiao Yan looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness. They had no way to resist the Hall of Souls, and even with Wind Idle, they did not possess strength as formidable as Chen Yang’s. Now, they could only rely on Chen Yang to evade the pursuit of the Hall of Souls.

”Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu, you talk too much. Die!”

Chen Yang looked at the ferocious expression of the Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu and smiled contemptuously. As the Undying Heavenly Art circulated, the Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu let out continuous screams.

”Ahhh... uh... uh.”

Finally, under Chen Yang’s refining, the renowned Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu turned into a ball of pure soul origin energy.

Venerable Yao looked at the soul origin energy in Chen Yang’s hand, his eyes revealing a look of yearning. He only felt that the ball of energy in Chen Yang’s hand was constantly attracting him.

”Ahem, Han Li, do you think you could trade that soul origin energy in your hand to me?”

Venerable Yao coughed twice, his eyes fixed tightly on the soul origin energy in Chen Yang’s hand, and he said with an embarrassed face.

Chen Yang looked at Venerable Yao’s almost transparent soul body, his eyes flashed, and he said indifferently: ”Haha, since our Venerable Yao wants it, I must definitely give it to you. But as for the price, you understand.”

Hearing this, Venerable Yao immediately understood Chen Yang’s meaning. With a pained heart, he took out a golden scroll from his storage ring and said slowly: ”This is a pill formula for the Ninth Grade Pill, the Lightning Tribulation Pill. Its specific function is to help Dou Sheng experts break through by one star. Do you think this will do?”

Venerable Yao asked Chen Yang tentatively. Actually, for this bit of soul origin energy, giving any Eighth Grade pill formula would have sufficed. But since this soul origin energy was in Chen Yang’s hands, based on Venerable Yao’s dealings with Chen Yang over these years...

...he had discovered that Chen Yang was a person who wouldn’t release the hawk until he saw the rabbit. With no other choice, Venerable Yao could only directly take out a Ninth Grade Pill formula to trade, hoping that Chen Yang would trade it to him out of consideration for him being an old man.

Hearing that Venerable Yao was actually willing to use a Ninth Grade Pill formula to trade for the ball of soul origin energy in his hand, Chen Yang was pleasantly surprised for a moment and quickly said: ”Haha, Old Mister Yao, this Ninth Grade Pill formula can certainly be traded.”

Chen Yang took the pill formula from Venerable Yao’s hand and directly infused the soul origin energy into Venerable Yao’s illusory soul body. As the ball of soul origin energy entered...

”Whew...”

Venerable Yao’s body became increasingly solid. Venerable Yao gently exhaled, as if he had let go of something.
