Chapter 494: Meeting

Everyone present knew exactly who these newcomers were from the prelude of their entrance. They quickly gathered their focus.

The black fog swirled and a violent turbulence followed. Seven figures slowly appeared under the watchful eyes of the onlookers.

Each of these figures exuded a vast and mighty aura, instilling fear in many who beheld them. This Hall of Souls was truly worthy of being the overlord of the Central Plains. They had sent out seven Dou Saints at once. Such a magnificent display truly left one with little choice but to sigh in admiration.

Among these seven figures, the leader was naturally the Chief of the Hall of Souls. Behind him were likely experts from the Hun Clan.

The entire area turned dark and chilly after the arrival of these seven individuals. Even the sunlight streaming down from the sky felt cold against one's skin.

"After the battle with the Heavenly Court, the Hall of Souls still has such terrifying power..."

The expressions of the Grand Elders of several major sects showed the gravity they felt upon witnessing this scene. It was only after the sight of the Hall of Souls' line-up that they truly understood the vast and insurmountable gap between their factions and the Hall of Souls.

"Now that the members of the Heavenly Court have arrived, it's time to show yourselves..."

The Chief of the Hall of Souls swept his eyes over the densely packed crowd with an indifferent air after he had appeared. He immediately raised his head and looked at a mountain in the distance. His faint voice echoed like thunder over the Fallen Mountain Range.

"You are indeed worthy to be the Chief of the Hall of Souls. Your perception is quite sharp..."

A chuckle followed the resonant voice of the Chief of the Hall of Souls. Then everyone watched as the space on the other side of the Fallen Mountain quickly distorted.

The surroundings, which had become dark and cold due to the monstrous Dou Qi emanating from the Hall of Souls group, gradually regained some warmth after the appearance of more than a dozen figures. At this moment, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Such a battle was too terrifying; even the release of their auras affected the temperature and climate of the world.

"The Heavenly Court Alliance actually has more than a dozen Saints!"

After the shock wore off, everyone had a close look at the figures from the Heavenly Court. The sound of inhaling cold air could be heard. Some of the old demons had drastically changed their expressions.

Over a dozen Saints!

The Heavenly Court had sent a large number of experts this time.

Both Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin now possessed the aura of a one-star Dou Saint.

In addition to them, there were Zi Yan, Ancestor Huo Yun, the Nine-Tailed Fox Saint, Yao Ming, the First Elder of the Small Pill Tower, and three other one-star Dou Saint experts who had been invited to join the alliance. In terms of the number of Dou Saints, the Heavenly Court had quietly amassed an astonishing eleven! And this count didn't even include the Half-Saints, who were also classified as Saints.

This lineup could rival the vanished Spirit Clan!

Of course, the powerful members of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe were not fully integrated into the Heavenly Court. Apart from Zi Yan, no one else had appeared this time. Otherwise, the Chief of the Hall of Souls would have fled long ago.

The surroundings became much quieter. The great strength of the Heavenly Court Alliance had obviously stunned everyone. The eyes of some old demons and the Grand Elders of certain sects were filled with shock. Everyone knew that the Heavenly Court was incredibly powerful, but the extent of their might was beyond anyone's expectations.

"Xiao Ming, I must admit, you're rather impressive. It's quite unexpected that the fallen Xiao Clan could produce someone like you. When it comes to achievements, even your ancestor Xiao Xuan pales in comparison to you. However... my Hun Clan brought down the first Xiao Xuan, and we can bring down the second, you, as well."

The Chief of the Hall of Souls didn't seem too flustered by the Heavenly Court's impressive display. With his intelligence network, he had long discovered much about the Heavenly Court's secrets. His gaze shifted to the young man in white at the front, his tone filled with indifference.

"Your Heavenly Court Alliance has only one chance in this battle. If you fail, there will be no coming back. Xiao Ming, do you dare to accept?"

The Chief of the Hall of Souls looked at Xiao Ming with indifference. His voice was like the ringing of tens of thousands of bells. It was also accompanied by an extremely terrifying spiritual attack that swept towards Xiao Ming from all directions.

Under this impact, Xiao Ming stood firm with a faint smile on his face.

"The Hall Chief likes to talk big. If someone who doesn't know heard it, they might think that our Heavenly Court was at a disadvantage in our previous encounters, heh."

"When has the Heavenly Court ever feared the Hall of Souls? As for the challenge, of course, I accept!"

As Xiao Ming uttered the word 'accept', everyone could feel the atmosphere in this world suddenly become oppressive.

A storm was brewing!

"Hee hee, quite the audacity..."

Beside the Hall Chief, an elderly man with long, drooping eyebrows looked at Xiao Ming with a dark and cold expression as he laughed strangely.

Xiao Ming gave him a casual glance. He sensed the old man's strength as an advanced five-star Dou Saint, which didn't pose a significant threat. Then he turned to Hun Mie Sheng.

"I wonder how you propose to determine the victor?"

"Three battles, two victories. Each side selects three participants for a life-or-death battle."

The Hall Chief's voice was deep, "Of course, if you want everyone from the Hall of Souls and the Heavenly Court to fight, this chief will have no objection. However, the Hall of Souls has stood in the Central Plains for so many years; it's not something you can just destroy. You may not be able to bear the loss."

"Let the representatives step forward," Xiao Ming said with a faint smile. Today's outcome was already determined. He couldn't be bothered to engage in verbal sparring with Hun Mie Sheng.

"Hee hee, in all these years, this is the biggest provocation my Hun clan has faced..."

Hun Hei Mao, the elderly man next to Hun Mie Sheng, chuckled darkly and took a slow step forward.

"Young fellow from the Xiao Clan, include me as one of the three."

With that step, anyone with keen senses could feel a slight tremor in the massive mountain. A dragon-like sonic wave erupted from beneath his foot, shattering the rocks within the mountain's body in a wild fashion. It then roared and rushed towards Xiao Ming.

Bang!

However, just as the dragon-like force was about to burst out of the ground, a graceful figure behind Xiao Ming also took a step forward.

This step happened to land on the ground where the hidden force was located. The figure's step immediately caused the hard ground to sink half a meter, shattering the hidden force.

"The old folks from the Hall of Souls always enjoy these sneaky tricks. This Emperor will make sure to teach you the right way to behave later."

In public, Zi Yan's delicate face wore a dignified expression. Her sharp purple-golden pupils locked onto Hun Hei Mao, a faint killing intent seeping from her.

She couldn't stand the Hall of Souls repeatedly using these sneaky tricks to provoke her Xiao Ming.

'A six-star Dou Saint!'

The Chief of the Soul Hall furrowed his brow slightly. Only the true higher-ups of the Heavenly Court had access to information about Zi Yan. She wasn't an established powerhouse, and there were no records of her demonstrating her strength. This made her appearance as a six-star Dou Saint unexpected, and made him extremely wary of her.
