"Today, no one here will be left alive!" Zi Yan said with utmost seriousness.
"Hmph, arrogant to the extreme!"
Hearing this, the Soul Hall First Tianzun's expression turned extremely grim as he coldly retorted. In all these years, it was the first time someone had dared to storm the Soul Hall like this.
However, despite his anger, he was also very cautious.
He understood that a top-tier expert like Zi Yan was not someone he could handle.
Of course, he wasn't going to just wait for death.
In the next moment, an overwhelming black mist surged out from his sleeve.
"There's no place for you to hide in front of me!"
Zi Yan also let out a cold laugh. Her jade-like hand swiftly formed a seal, and a dark golden glow erupted from her body.
In the blink of an eye, a massive golden dragon materialized outside her body. The dragon's mouth opened wide, and just like a whale swallowing water, it absorbed the highly corrosive black mist within a few breaths.
"The Ancient Void Dragon Royal Bloodline?!"
Seeing the golden dragon that Zi Yan summoned, the Soul Hall Grand Elder immediately cried out in shock.
"Even though you're strong, the Soul Hall isn't something you can just decide to massacre at will!"
The First Tianzun's figure suddenly retreated.
Then, a silver jade slip appeared in his hand, which he quickly crushed.
"Thinking about summoning reinforcements?"
"The space in this area has already been obscured by my spatial turbulence. Any spatial fluctuations will not get through!"
Zi Yan gazed playfully at the Grand Elder, whose expression was gradually darkening, and said with a smile.
The First Tianzun's face twitched slightly, and his heart finally sank.
Clearly, the other party had come prepared.
"Enough, no more idle talk!"
Zi Yan wasted no time, launching a thunderous assault. Her Phoenix Wings unfolded behind her, and her speed was something the First Tianzun could not match.
The vast gap between a Four-Star Dou Saint and a Two-Star Dou Saint meant that the Grand Elder couldn't last more than three moves before he was completely erased from this world.
What followed was a one-sided massacre.
Gu Fei showed no mercy to anyone from the Soul Hall, nor did he feel any guilt for the killings.
After eliminating all the Hall of Souls members present, Gu Fei approached the giant hall above.
With a sweep of his hand, a powerful gust of wind struck, splitting the giant hall in two.
As the hall was torn apart, the ends of the chains were revealed, with countless souls hanging from them.
Seeing the tens of thousands of souls, Gu Fei couldn't help but feel his eye twitch.
These bastards from the Hun Clan were completely treating souls as mere nourishment!
"Well done! These people are indeed extremely sinister!" Zi Yan's expression also turned icy.
Next, Gu Fei waved his hand lightly, and the terrifying gust swept through the air like a storm.
The chains shattered in an instant, and the souls within the orbs slowly opened their eyes.
For so many years, they had been trapped here like prisoners. At times, even death had become a luxury.
"Go now, and don't let them capture you again."
Gu Fei looked at these souls, who were overwhelmed with joy and gratitude, and sighed.
In the sky, countless souls knelt down in salute to Gu Fei before departing.
"Now that we've got what we came for, it's time to leave!"
Gu Fei wasted no time. With the First Tianzun dead, the Soul Hall's higher-ups would soon find out.
So, he quickly descended and began excavating beneath the giant hall.
Under Gu Fei's rapid excavation, a large pit quickly appeared in the ruins. In the depths of that pit, a roughly half-meter-wide orb of light floated.
The orb was transparent, with countless dark chains connected to its outer edge. The other ends of these chains had been attached to the souls that had just escaped.
"What pure soul essence!"
From the orb, Gu Fei sensed an extremely terrifying soul energy.
Moreover, this energy was incredibly pure, without a trace of impurity.
"This amount of soul essence must have been condensed from at least a million souls..."
Zi Yan exhaled softly. The methods of the Soul Hall were truly too cruel.
In order to gather this soul essence, they had directly destroyed millions of souls.
At this moment, her loathing for the Soul Hall had reached its peak.
These people would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. This kind of brutality was no different from extracting blood or flesh from a human alive. In fact, it was even more vicious.
"One day, we must ensure that such a dark force disappears from this world!"
Gu Fei's voice was firm.
"Brother Gu Fei, what are these people from the Soul Hall planning to do with so much soul essence?" Zi Yan asked with a frown.
"Absorbing soul essence can enhance one's soul power..."
"They must be trying to elevate someone's soul power to an extraordinary level!" Gu Fei explained.
This was also why he had come on this mission.
This essence, painstakingly gathered by the Soul Hall, was invaluable. Once released, it would drive countless alchemists on the continent into a frenzy.
"Although this essence was condensed through slaughter and shouldn't exist in this world, since it's here, it won't be abandoned!"
As Gu Fei spoke, he waved his hand, breaking all the chains.
"I'll avenge your deaths!"
Gu Fei gently stroked the orb of light. A simple sentence suddenly caused the orb to emit a faint glow.
It was as if numerous pieces of information were being transmitted from within.
These were the lingering resentments and emotions left by those whose souls had been extracted, making it difficult to fully refine.
If absorbed recklessly, it would surely affect one's mind.
But Gu Fei's words had subtly dispelled these negative emotions.
The Soul Hall would never say such things.
"Let's go!"
After collecting the orb of light, Gu Fei sighed softly. Zi Yan then created a spatial tunnel, and the two of them stepped into the rift.
About two hours after Gu Fei and Zi Yan left, the space above a mountain peak near the ruins began to ripple slightly.
Soon after, a shadow emerged and rushed into the ruins of the giant hall. Upon seeing the excavated ruins, the shadow's expression immediately turned grim, with rage filling its eyes.
"Who did this?"
"Come out!"
The shadow roared loudly.
"The souls that the Man Hall painstakingly collected over a hundred years have all been taken. If this matter gets back to the clan, even I will face extremely severe punishment!"
Looking at the now-empty depths of the Soul Hall, the shadow's face gradually turned pale.
The Man Hall is one of the three halls of Tiangang and holds a very important position within the Soul Hall.
Now, with the soul essence taken by Gu Fei and the souls released, the loss was so enormous that even the Soul Hall could not bear it!
