Capítulo 103: Surprise Attack From The Hall of Souls!
Cao Ying feels wronged and confused, emotional value increased by 50
"Young Master Gu Fei, do you really have such a big prejudice against me? If you truly dislike me so much, then I'll just leave!"
The cold tone in Gu Fei's voice made Cao Ying feel extremely wronged. She questioned herself, wondering if she had done anything wrong to deserve his dislike. Was it really enough to make him despise her?
"If you're here, why hide?"
Gu Fei ignored Cao Ying and instead focused on a spot in the air within the hall.
"Heh, as expected of someone who can tame the Three Thousand Burning Flame…"
As soon as Gu Fei spoke, there was a faint ripple in the air, accompanied by a chilling voice echoing through the hall. Following that, two figures completely shrouded in black robes slowly emerged from the twisted space.
"People from the Hall of Souls, always acting as stealthy as rats…"
Gu Fei's eyes turned icy as he glared at the two figures.
"What's happening? Are these people from the Hall of Souls?"
"They have actually come to Holy Pill City?"
The sudden appearance of these figures took everyone by surprise.
"So, I misunderstood him!"
Seeing the two black-robed figures, Cao Ying realized that Gu Fei's earlier words were actually for her benefit. He knew that danger was imminent and had tried to get her to leave the inn in advance.
At this moment, Venerable Tian Huo also appeared on the balcony, frowning.
"Protect those two!"
Gu Fei sent a message to Venerable Tian Huo, knowing that the people from the Hall of Souls had probably been lurking for a while, waiting for his return. This didn't surprise him much, as the news of him taming the Three Thousand Burning Flame was widely known in the Pill Tower. It wasn't exactly a secret, and with the Hall of Soul's infiltration capabilities, it was likely that they had agents within the Pill Tower.
"People from the Hall of Souls, you are too bold to dare commit crimes in Holy Pill City!"
Cao Ying, now aware of the situation, shouted angrily at the two Soul Palace figures.
"Heh, old man here has already set up a soul barrier. No one will notice anything happening here for a while," said one of the old men in a sinister tone. Judging by his soul strength, it seemed to have reached the Spirit Realm.
Gu Fei, meanwhile, had already figured out the identities of these two men through the feedback from the emotional values.
One of them was Elder Mu Gu, who shared the same teacher as Yao Chen. The other was Old Ghost Zhai Xing. Mu Gu was a Three-Star Dou Venerate and an eighth-tier alchemist, while Zhai Xing was a Five-Star Dou Venerate.
"You seem quite confident in yourself!" Gu Fei remarked with a mocking smile.
"To deal with a mere fledgling like you, I have every confidence!" Elder Mu Gu sneered, completely missing the sarcasm in Gu Fei's voice. "I advise you to hand over the Three Thousand Burning Flame now, and perhaps I'll consider sparing your life!"
"Sparing my life? I think you should be more concerned about your own!" Gu Fei retorted with another sneer.
As he spoke, a massive surge of soul power erupted from his brow, forming a soul sword that slashed at the soul barrier.
After tempering his soul with the Core Soul Marrow, Gu Fei's soul power had nearly reached the late Spirit Realm. The soul barrier that Elder Mu Gu had set up was no match for Gu Fei's soul sword and shattered almost instantly.
With the barrier destroyed, the fluctuating energies within the inn began to spread out.
Elder Mu Gu feels astonished, emotional value increased by 20
"How is this possible?" Elder Mu Gu was shocked. He never expected that this young man's soul power would be so strong, breaking the soul barrier before they even made a move.
"This is the Pill Tower's territory; Hall of Souls cannot act as it pleases here…"
As this voice echoed through the hall, the faces of the black-robed figures immediately turned grim. One of them looked up to the sky, his voice hoarse, "Xuan Kong Zi?"
"Great, Master will be here soon. You two Soul Hall minions won't leave Holy Pill City today!" Cao Ying, hearing this voice, let out a sigh of relief and rejoiced.
"Damn it…" Elder Mu Gu hovered in mid-air, his sinister gaze fixated on Gu Fei, glowing with a cold light. He hadn't expected his careful plans to be foiled by the Pill Tower elders.
Now that their location had been exposed, staying any longer would likely draw more powerful experts from the Pill Tower.
"Xuan Kong Zi, this matter doesn't concern the Pill Tower. Why must you meddle?" Old Ghost Zhai Xing, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke, his voice filled with frustration as he shouted towards the sky.
"Heh, this is Holy Pill City. If I allowed the Soul Hall to act recklessly here, how could the Pill Tower maintain its reputation?" The voice, ancient and distant, echoed once again, resonating from a void in space. Clearly, the speaker hadn't yet arrived but was projecting his aura from afar.
"Old Ghost, let's go!" Elder Mu Gu, sensing the gravity of the situation, made a swift decision to retreat.
"You think you can come and go as you please? You're underestimating us!" Gu Fei struck, sending a pillar of flames shooting from beneath Elder Mu Gu.
"So, it really is a Heavenly Flame…" Elder Mu Gu's face lit up with greed as he felt the strange energy within the flame. He had long coveted such power. He thrust out his palm, forming a massive energy claw that intercepted the flame pillar.
"Boom!"
The enormous energy wave forced Elder Mu Gu to retreat several steps. His expression grew more serious; clearly, Gu Fei's strength had far surpassed his expectations.
Originally, Elder Mu Gu had brought Old Ghost Zhai Xing along, thinking they only needed to deal with Venerable Tian Huo and that Gu Fei was just an afterthought. But now, this youngster had managed to push him back with a single move—truly outrageous.
"Mu Gu, this kid is dangerous! If we leave him alive, he will become a future threat!" Old Ghost Zhai Xing finally made his move, shouting loudly as he extended his hand, sending five streams of sticky black mist shooting from his fingertips.
The black mist quickly formed into eerie black chains, which wrapped around themselves and pierced through the void, appearing above Gu Fei in an instant.
The sudden attack made Gu Fei's face change slightly. Old Ghost was not like Mu Gu, who could be dismissed. His strength, nearing the peak of Five-Star Dou Venerate, required Gu Fei to take him seriously.
