Chapter 1070: with translation of chapter title

Xiao Yan?

Hearing the former's unexpected words, the people around all stared at each other, unsure whether to answer.

Thus, after the former finished speaking, this stretch of sky fell into an eerie silence.

After all, those people's aura was extremely formidable, so even the majority in the field who did not know the other's identity—him—likewise dared not underestimate them.

Thus they could only look toward their leader with questioning expressions, waiting to see how the leader would react.

Of course, the people of the Tianming Sect, whose sect master's whereabouts were unknown, could only look toward the Tianming Old Demon.

"Everyone, Xiao Yan is my disciple; I don't know what you want with him."

Facing that hostile group of Thunder Clan people, Yao Chen could only brace himself and speak up to inquire.

Although he did not know why they had come looking for his land disciple, it was still necessary to clarify things.

"Your disciple?"

Hearing that, the Thunder Clan members instantly snorted coldly, all turning their gaze to Yao Chen.

Immediately, the purple-robed elder who had spoken earlier stepped forward, his face killing intent, and said: "What do you want? Your disciple killed two of our Thunder Clan's young talents in the Tian Mu; what do you think we're looking for him for?"

"What?!"

As soon as the former's words fell, Yao Chen's face drastically changed, incredulously staring at the purple-robed elder.

At that moment, another purple-robed elder seemed to recognize the former, then stepped forward, his expression indifferent, and said: "Yao Chen, you were once a member of the Yao clan; you should know your disciple's crime. Now I advise you to hand him over, or else you'll only suffer loss."

"Hehe, is Xiao Yan's courage this great? He dares to kill a Thunder Clan member—this is an existence even our Soul Hall is reluctant to provoke."

After hearing the former's explanation, Gu You was also instantly frightened.

I never expected Xiao Yan to be this bold, directly killing two young Thunder Clan geniuses inside the Tian Mu.

But then, his gaze swept over the Thunder Clan people, and he thought in astonishment: "Two initial half-saints, over a dozen Nine-turn Dou Zun Peak cultivators—Xiao Yan is surely doomed this time."

"Besides, Yao Chen and Qing Xiao are opposed to my Soul Hall, and the opposition is the Thunder Clan; how am I to capture Xiao Yan from their hands and return with merit?"

However, just as Gu You finished his thought, he suddenly blinked slightly and turned his gaze toward Yao Chen opposite.

"Hehe, if we can't catch the disciple, grabbing the teacher isn't bad either; after all, Yao Chen is someone the hall master needs, especially after that Mu Gu fellow died."

Thinking this, Gu You interrupted Yao Chen before he could speak, suddenly pointing to the western area and shouting loudly: "Thunder Clan people, Xiao Yan previously ran toward the Central Region; our Soul Hall's target is also him, but since you want him, I'll let you have him. However, you'd better chase quickly, or else losing his trail will make him hard to find."

"Swish!"

Hearing the former's sudden loud shout, the people around instantly turned their bewildered gazes entirely onto Gu You.

At this moment, not only Yao Chen, but even the Tianming Sect and other Soul Hall venerables failed to understand why the other would reveal Xiao Yan's whereabouts.

"After all, their Soul Hall also wants to capture Xiao Yan, right?"

But after a brief stupor, the reacting Yao Chen pointed at the former and cursed furiously: "Gu You, you bastard, I'll fuck your grandmother!"

After saying that, Yao Chen quickly turned to the Thunder Clan and others, clasped his hands, and said: "Everyone, my disciple Xiao Yan is widely known as an honest man; from childhood he's never done anything bad, so he couldn't possibly have slaughtered your Thunder Clan's young talents. I think there may be some misunderstanding here."

"Hmph, what misunderstanding? Do you think we're blind? The corpses are laid out in our clan; could they be faked?"

As soon as the words fell, one of the purple-robed elders gestured behind him and said: "Hurry up and chase; no matter what, we must capture Xiao Yan today!"

Having spoken, the former's figure shot forward first, dashing madly toward the Central Region.

"Yes!"

Those behind him, hearing that, immediately shouted in unison, then shot forth, closely following the former.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this situation, Yao Chen immediately disregarded everything, silently cursed, and wanted to give chase.

However, just as the former prepared to move, Gu You swiftly darted and blocked Yao Chen's path.

"Hehe, Yao Chen, your opponent is me; before the outcome is decided, don't even think of leaving here."

As he spoke, Gu You's dou qi surged explosively, then he launched a straight attack at the former.

"Damn bastard, now it seems we can only see whether Xiao Yan can escape alive."

When Yao Chen saw Gu You's attack, he could only curse inwardly, then hurriedly deployed a dou technique to meet it.

At the same time, he prayed in his heart that his disciple could survive this ordeal.

"Kill!"

As the two in front moved, the surrounding people instantly shouted in unison again, then frenziedly attacked their previous opponents.

"Young Master, should we go to Xiao Yan's side, or stay here?"

After those people had walked away, Qing Lin immediately turned to Lin Feng beside her and asked.

Hearing that, Lin Feng lowered his head in thought for a while, then raised it and said disappointedly: "We'd better stay here; the strength disparity on Xiao Yan's side is huge, with no suspense, whereas here the disparity isn't great, and we might still pick up a bargain."

While speaking, he involuntarily glanced helplessly in the direction Xiao Yan had gone.

Originally this was a great opportunity to kill Xiao Yan, but unfortunately the Thunder Clan also got involved.

"Mm, I'll follow the Young Master's lead."

Seeing the former intend to stay, Qing Lin lightly nodded to show support.

"Boom!"

However, before the former's words had even finished, a sudden loud sound came from outside.

Hearing the sound, Lin Feng and Qing Lin hurriedly lifted their heads to look.

Immediately, they realized that this sound was Yao Chen being struck again by Gu You.

However, this time Yao Chen, although spitting blood profusely, wore a smile on his face.

Then, leveraging that force, he instantly turned into a stream of light and shot westward at extreme speed!

"Damn it, we've been tricked"

Seeing this, Gu You's face turned slightly bluish-black; after scanning the surroundings, his figure likewise turned into a stream of light, pursuing in the direction Yao Chen fled!

After all, his target is Xiao Yan and Yao Chen both; if he had gathered so many people this time only to return empty-handed.

I'm afraid that after he returns, it won't be easy to explain to the Hall Master.

"Young Master, should we chase them?"

Seeing the scene outside, Qing Lin asked again.

"Hmm, don't chase; keep watching below. We came out in a hurry this time, lacking the strength to silently kill Yao Chen and Gu You."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and chose to refuse again.

After all, on our side we only have a mid-level Half-Saint; let alone killing a senior Half-Saint like Gu You, even killing Yao Chen is a struggle.

Hearing that, Qing Lin promptly nodded obediently and said, "Then I'll follow the Young Master's orders."

After finishing their discussion, the two immediately continued to look outward.

At the same time, seeing Gu You suddenly leave, Xuan Kongzi's eyes flashed with excitement.

Immediately after, he suddenly extended both hands, forming a hand seal.

"Soul Technique: Soul-Suppressing Hammer!"

As Xuan Kongzi's hand seal continuously changed, an invisible, intangible hammer instantly formed above the sky.

"Go!"

Seeing the soul technique form, the former let out a cold shout.

"Whoosh!"

In the next instant, the Three Heavenly Sovereigns of Soul Hall only heard a faint sound of tearing space near their ears.

Immediately after, his head felt as if struck by a huge hammer, transmitting an intense pain he could not bear.

"Ah!"

Suddenly suffering such a trauma from deep within the soul, the Three Heavenly Sovereigns could no longer bear it, covering their heads as they let out a miserable scream.

After all, his soul was far inferior to that of the early-stage Xuan Kongzi, and he had not expected the opponent to suddenly use such a move.

The damage he suffered even far exceeded being hit by the opponent's battle technique.

Meanwhile, Xuan Kongzi seized the opportunity, his figure explosively shooting out as battle qi gathered violently in his hand.

"Heaven Tier Battle Technique: Blazing Flame Sky-Sweeping Leg!"

Then he let out a loud shout, leapt up, and thrust out his toe.

In the next moment, his toe, wrapped in a cluster of intense flames, fiercely kicked the Three Heavenly Sovereigns of Soul Hall in the heart.

"Pfft!"

Struck in the heart by a peer of equal strength, even though the Three Heavenly Sovereigns were junior Half-Saints, they could not hold on, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood.

Immediately after, their body flew backward like a meteorite falling to the ground.

In that flight, the Three Heavenly Sovereigns did not stop until they had shattered four or five mountains along the way, after which their figure vanished into the thick dust.

However, after blasting the opponent away, Xuan Kongzi quickly released three or four powerful Earth Tier battle techniques before pausing.

"Third Brother!"

Seeing the Three Heavenly Sovereigns defeated, the four or five Heavenly Sovereigns on other distant battlefields immediately burst into worried cries.

After all, if the Three Heavenly Sovereigns were defeated, they could only abandon the mission and hurriedly flee.

And doing so, those behind them would certainly receive a considerable punishment.

However, after the two shouted, there was still no response from within the thick dust and mist.

"This is bad."

As time passed, the four or five Heavenly Sovereigns saw that their third brother showed no movement, and their hearts sank sharply.

After all, after so long with no response, the other side must be either severely injured or dead.

Either way, it means the opponent has lost the ability to fight.

Thus, the Elixir Pagoda side, which possessed two Half-Saints, basically had victory secured.

Thinking of this, the Soul Hall crowd's faces turned ashen; this time they had really messed up.
