Chapter 775

Dim-witted and insensible!

Seeing that the opponent wasn't frightened out of their wits, the Seven Star Venerable's eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke in a grim tone.

However, he did not immediately attack, but instead continued to maintain the formation in place, preventing the nine inside from escaping.

After all, although these nine people were trapped here by the formation used by the three of them.

But if they were to attack with all their strength now, the people inside would be in despair.

Attacking with the mindset of using them as a shield, or even self-destructing, could also cause great trouble for the three of them.

Even if unlucky, perhaps the three of them could actually be taken away by the people inside, one or two.

"Tch, these people are really boring. I thought I could take advantage of the chaos to snatch some Battle Venerable corpses or storage rings, then trade them with Lin Feng for some medicinal pills. I didn't expect these people to be more cowardly than each other."

Seeing that the fight didn't start immediately in the arena, Zi Yan in the void instantly became displeased.

She had been staring here for so long, originally thinking she could gain something.

As a result, these people are now not fighting.

This result instantly left her greatly disappointed.

"Ah, forget it, I'll go elsewhere to look around, see if I can catch some Hei Yi Ren or other soul bodies to bring back. I remember Lin Feng and his group of wives saying that inside this branch of the Soul Hall, a considerable number of soul bodies are imprisoned."

After letting out a light sigh, Zi Yan reluctantly left this place and headed to other areas of this branch.

After all, if everyone else comes out but she alone, Long, gets nothing, then where should Zi Yan, the young chieftain, save face?

Although Lin Feng's task for her was to record the entire process of Xiao Yan's rescue of Yaochen.

But before coming, she had specially taken many Soul Sacks from Lin Feng's hands.

Meanwhile, while Zi Yan was troubled about collecting souls, on the other side Xiao Yan, who had a Soul Hall Guardian guiding the way, appeared remarkably relaxed.

Along his journey, he had encountered quite a few Soul Hall Guardians.

But with Xiao Yan's current strength, practitioners below the Battle Venerable level could almost be slain with a casual swipe.

Therefore, along his journey, although he encountered twenty or thirty Soul Hall Guardians blocking the way,

but those unfortunate Guardians, in the face of this Battle Venerable powerhouse, were all unfortunately slain on the spot.

And he did not go on to capture those Guardians, but instead charged straight ahead like a war god!

After all, his main goal now is to rescue his teacher, and he doesn't want to waste time capturing those Guardians.

"Bang!"

On a spacious corridor, Xiao Yan expressionlessly waved his palm, controlling the brown fire that flew out to condense into a long spear, piercing the chest of the Soul Hall Guardian who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Then, Xiao Yan didn't even bother to look at the Soul Hall Guardian that quickly turned into a handful of dust.

Instead, he glanced briefly at another Guardian in his hand who was guiding him, and said in an icy voice: "How far is the place where souls are imprisoned?"

"The Soul Locking Grand Hall is right at the end of this corridor."

Upon hearing that, the Soul Hall Guardian hurriedly replied with trembling fear.

Xiao Yan's actions all along the way have frightened him so much that he dares not resort to any tricks.

After all, the Battle Venerable powerhouses inside the hall have all been restrained outside.

How could these Guardians, who are only of Battle Sect level, stand a chance against this Battle Sect expert before them when they cannot gather to form a formation?

Upon hearing that the destination lay ahead, Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction, but his face grew increasingly grim.

Meanwhile, the Soul Hall Guardian who had been staring at his face soon noticed the change in Xiao Yan's expression.

However, just as he was calculating how to escape this guy's control, scorching brown flames rose from Xiao Yan's palm without warning, swallowing that Soul Hall Guardian whole and burning him to a bit of black ash.

After doing that, Xiao Yan immediately clapped his hands with a cold expression.

As for the people of the Soul Hall, he bears a deep hatred; just thinking of his father and two brothers taken by these guys fills him with loathing.

When he strikes, he feels no psychological burden whatsoever.

Having dealt with the Guardian in his hand, Xiao Yan's gaze immediately turned to the end of the corridor.

There, a huge black iron door stood tall.

Subsequently, the surging battle qi within Xiao Yan's body circulated at extreme speed; in a flash, he arrived outside that black iron door.

Immediately after, he swept his sleeve, and the brown exotic fire erupted from his sleeve, then heavily struck the iron door.

"Clang!"

Under the attack of the previous fusion of exotic fire, even though the iron door's material was quite good, it still burst open explosively.

With the iron door's obstruction gone, the ensuing scene immediately appeared in Xiao Yan's field of view.

Beyond the iron door lay an extremely vast plaza, upon which dozens of stone pillars a hundred zhang high stood.

Upon those stone pillars, black chains spread out like a spider's web.

The chains extending from those stone pillars intertwined with each other, forming a great net like a spider's web.

And upon those chains, countless light orbs were strung up like barbecue ingredients.

Those light orbs, Xiao Yan had seen many of them in other branches before; he knew they were each a soul body captured by the Soul Hall.

"The number of soul bodies in this branch is truly not few!"

Although Xiao Yan had seen such a scene during his rescue, seeing it again still made him involuntarily draw a sharp breath of cold air.

In his eyes, a flicker of fervor immediately flashed.

After all, if he obtained these soul bodies, he could refine them into soul origin, then absorb them to enhance his soul power.

"No way, I don't have time to deal with these souls now; rescuing my teacher comes first."

Thinking of his teacher, Xiao Yan's gaze swept slightly, then came to rest on the high stone platform deep in the plaza.

There, an especially bright light orb continuously exuded a scent very familiar to him.

Upon realizing the true identity of that bright light orb, Xiao Yan's feet tapped the ground without hesitation, his figure shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow, flashing across the plaza.

In the next moment, he appeared on that platform, his gaze blankly fixed on the light cluster within.

And as the distance closed, the former could also see very clearly that, within the light cluster, there was a weak old man whose limbs were bound by four huge chains, sitting cross-legged.

Back then, my teacher was seized by the Soul Hall's guardians in Heijiaoyu, and it has only been a short five or six years since then.

But now, Yao Chen has become a white-haired, aged figure, no longer possessing even a trace of his former carefree and tranquil demeanor.

There is merely a weakness like that of an elderly person in his twilight years.

This scene instantly made Xiao Yan's eyes turn blood-red.

Looking at the former's condition, anyone would know.

My teacher, although not annihilated over these past few years, has obviously been faring very poorly.
