Chapter 303: Getting Worse
Within the Star Domain, Xiao Ze and his group also prepared to leave.
Finally, the situation had been resolved, and the numerous strong individuals showed expressions of relief. The environment of the Star Domain was not exactly good; staying in such a place for a long time was real torture.
Before leaving, Xiao Ze took one last look at the Three Thousand Flames of Space. It was still a gigantic endless dragon body, constantly emanating purple-black flames that made the area very hot.
However, compared to its previous violent state, the Three Thousand Flames of Space dragon now had its eyes closed and was asleep, radiating a peace unknown before.
Xiao Ze's eyes rested on the dragon's scales, where numerous seal lines like cobwebs were visible.
After confirming the seal was intact, Xiao Ze followed the group and exited the Star Domain.
In the secret place of the Pill Tower, the three presidents slightly closed their eyes, and their spiritual forces intertwined to form a powerful repression.
"The agitation of the Three Thousand Flames of Space has disappeared. It seems to have entered a state of sleep."
"With Xiao Ze's intervention, no unforeseen events occurred."
"Hahaha, Xiao Ze is participating more and more in the affairs of the Pill Tower. Maybe it won't be long before I can retire with peace of mind."
Tian Lei Zi said with satisfaction. Hearing his words, Xuan Kong Zi and Xuan Yi also smiled, very satisfied with Xiao Ze's performance.
About ten minutes later, the three presidents perceived someone approaching the spatial anchor point and, without hesitation, made seals and opened the silver door.
The group hurried out, but without making any noise. Although they didn't speak, it was evident they considered Xiao Ze their leader.
The three presidents also noticed this and were secretly surprised, not expecting Xiao Ze to gain the trust of these strong individuals so quickly.
"Thank you all. The Pill Tower has prepared generous rewards for the effort of sealing. Please rest first."
Finally, it was Xuan Kong Zi who spoke, causing smiles among the strong individuals present.
After all, they had worked hard precisely for Xuan Kong Zi's words.
The three presidents sent someone to take the strong individuals to rest and then turned their attention to the elders of the Pill Tower.
"Thank you all. Rewards will be given according to each person's contribution."
Several elders quickly bowed and said, "This mission was completed so quickly thanks to Elder Xiao Ze."
"That's right, Elder Xiao Ze is excellent in both strength and sealing skills."
The elders praised Xiao Ze without cease.
Qing Lin, who followed Xiao Ze, smiled with joy upon hearing the praises directed at him.
If someone praised her, Qing Lin might feel embarrassed, but when they praised Xiao Ze, she felt genuinely happy.
At that moment, Tian Lei Zi noticed something strange, and the elders also realized it.
Xuan Yi looked at Tian Lei Zi with concern and asked, "What happened?"
"I gave Elder Lei Chang a communication jade. If something urgent happened, he would contact me immediately."
Everyone present became serious upon hearing this.
That type of jade was only used in extremely urgent situations, which meant Elder Lei Chang was probably in grave danger.
Xiao Ze remembered Elder Lei Chang, whom he had met earlier during a guard exchange in the Pill Realm.
Elder Lei Chang had left him with an impression of seriousness and coldness, probably due to his extensive combat experience.
According to Elder Sheng, Elder Lei Chang was responsible for external conflicts of the Pill Tower.
And now, the only matter that could put Elder Lei Chang in danger was something related to the Hall of Souls.
Everyone thought of the recent conflicts between the Hall of Souls and the Pill Tower.
"Tian Lei Zi, where is Elder Lei Chang?" Xuan Kong Zi frowned and asked.
"In the south of the Pill Domain," replied Tian Lei Zi with a grim expression.
"The Hall of Souls really wants a full-scale war with the Pill Tower," said Xuan Yi, surprised.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Let's go see Elder Lei Chang!"
After a brief discussion, they decided that Tian Lei Zi, Xiao Ze, and Qing Lin would go investigate.
Xiao Ze volunteered to go, knowing that with the presence of a Pill Tower president, his safety was guaranteed.
Additionally, he had just reached the five-star Dou Wang level and was looking for an opponent, making the Hall of Souls the perfect target.
He also wondered why the Hall of Souls was openly attacking the Pill Tower.
The Hall of Souls hadn't yet completed its goal of collecting souls.
Provoking the Pill Tower would surely cause problems in other areas for the Hall of Souls.
The Pill Tower wasn't an ordinary force, and attacking it would significantly distract the Hall of Souls.
This was what Xiao Ze didn't understand.
"This isn't right! In the original story, soul collection was just one of the Hall of Souls' goals."
"They appeared to be collecting souls, but secretly they were preparing the Soul Annihilation Formation, using the soul collection as a cover."
Suddenly, Xiao Ze understood and was scared.
With the control that the Pill Tower had over the Pill Domain, even the Hall of Souls couldn't infiltrate unnoticed.
They needed a reason to send many people into the Pill Domain without raising suspicion.
Thanks to his knowledge of history, Xiao Ze could make this assumption.
The Hall of Souls had no reason to provoke the Pill Tower and didn't seem to want to stop but kept going further.
Xiao Ze looked at Tian Lei Zi and frowned. The Hall of Souls' tactics were too much for the Pill Tower to handle alone.
To protect the alchemists, the Pill Tower would have to focus on defense, reducing their control over the Pill Domain.
If Xiao Ze's assumption was correct, the Hall of Souls could establish the Soul Annihilation Formation in the Pill Domain.
Xiao Ze thought he had no immediate solution. Additionally, his assumption needed the approval of the three presidents.
Even if the presidents believed him, the Pill Tower didn't have enough strength to face the Hall of Souls. The defense was already leaving them vulnerable.
The true strength of the Pill Tower was in alchemy, not combat...
"I must wait for the situation to calm down and find the Soul Annihilation Formation in the Pill Domain. Only then can I change the situation."
Xiao Ze decided to wait. Although the Soul Annihilation Formation was dangerous, it could still be destroyed before activation.
