Chapter 305: Battle Against the Hall of Souls

With Elder Lei's account, Xiao Ze understood the situation. Elder Lei had been extremely busy infiltrating the Hall of Souls, always being the first to respond wherever help was needed.

This time, it seemed that the Hall of Souls had set a specific trap for the Elders of the Pill Tower. Near Heavenly Fire City, Elder Lei had captured a group from the Hall of Souls when the Revered Green Sea suddenly appeared and severely injured him.

Xiao Ze frowned slightly. At first glance, it looked like a trap against the Elders of the Pill Tower, but considering his previous suspicions, he paid more attention to Heavenly Fire City.

Perhaps the actions of the Hall of Souls in that place were not just to ambush the Elders of the Pill Tower, but they might be preparing a spiritual devouring formation without being detected.

The Spiritual Devouring Formation, being an important plan of the Soul Clan, should not be prematurely revealed. However, Xiao Ze wanted to find out the exact location of this formation in the territory of the Pill Tower.

Xiao Ze decided to go to Heavenly Fire City later to see if he could detect the Spiritual Devouring Formation using his own methods.

He directed his gaze at the lifeless body of the Revered Green Sea. Being a high-ranking member of the Hall of Souls, his death at the hands of the Pill Tower would surely provoke retaliation.

Master Tianlei and Elder Lei also had serious expressions. Master Tianlei sighed and said, "Since the Hall of Souls has decided to take things to the extreme, our Pill Tower should not be afraid."

"From today, we will summon the powerful from the Central Region. I don't believe the Hall of Souls can dominate the entire Central Region."

Master Tianlei spoke coldly, clearly disgusted with the actions of the Hall of Souls.

Xiao Ze collected the belongings of the Revered Green Sea. As he was the one who had killed him, Master Tianlei and Elder Lei had no objections. Additionally, since the Revered Green Sea was a water attribute cultivator, and Xiao Ze was also a water attribute cultivator, the reverend's belongings would be more useful to Xiao Ze.

After checking the advanced ring of the Revered Green Sea, a satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Ze's face. The combat techniques and secrets left by the reverend were of great value to him.

Back at the Pill Tower, the other two Masters listened to Master Tianlei's decision seriously. Master Tianlei saw the doubt on their faces and said coldly, "Still hesitating? The Hall of Souls has already acted seriously, even sending their reverends. Should we wait for their leader to attack to summon the powerful?"

Master Tianlei's words made the other two Masters waver. Being Masters of the Pill Tower, they considered the overall well-being of the Tower.

Master Xuankong said, "If we are to confront the Hall of Souls, the Great Elder of the Small Pill Tower must decide. Without her support, the Pill Tower cannot face the Hall of Souls."

Master Xuan Yi also expressed his concern, "Moreover, the Great Elder of the Small Pill Tower also fears the Hall of Souls."

The words of the Masters left Master Tianlei silent, but Xiao Ze intervened, "Masters, may I say something?"

The three Masters turned their attention to Xiao Ze. Master Tianlei, with curiosity, said, "Go ahead, Xiao Ze."

"My suggestion is that the Pill Tower shows a firm attitude and at the same time invites powerful allies and friendly forces to form an alliance."

The faces of the three Masters remained unchanged, but it was a step forward from Master Tianlei's proposal.

"The Hall of Souls has a presence throughout the Dou Qi continent, even in the northwest. We don't know their true intentions, but it is impossible for them to control everything simultaneously."

Xiao Ze continued, "If the Pill Tower shows a firm attitude and gathers more allies, the Hall of Souls will have to dedicate more resources to face us, which could affect their other plans."

After listening to Xiao Ze, the Masters reflected. According to Xiao Ze, this could work.

The Hall of Souls was not only causing problems in the Central Region but also in other areas of the Dou Qi continent. It was evident that they had a bigger plan in motion.

A full-scale war with the Pill Tower would force the Hall of Souls to divert more resources, affecting their other plans. Unless a war with the Pill Tower was a crucial part of their plan, the Hall of Souls would avoid a total confrontation at this time.

"Ha, ha! Three elders like us did not think as clearly as you, Xiao Ze. Let's follow your suggestion."

"Let us invite the powerful from the Central Region and form alliances with other forces. At the same time, we must firmly face the infiltration of the Hall of Souls in our region."

Master Xuankong laughed, and the other two Masters nodded, without much hesitation this time.

Showing a firm attitude did not require the support of the Small Pill Tower. Moreover, if the Hall of Souls realized that the Pill Tower was prepared for a total war, they might retreat.

If it did not work, at least the Small Pill Tower would support their decision, and they could resign if necessary. The infiltration of the Hall of Souls was already affecting the normal functioning of the Pill Tower. Without containment measures, they would be slowly devoured.

The only option was to follow Xiao Ze's advice and show a firm attitude:

Fight against the Hall of Souls!
