Chapter 103: Soul Hall Surprise Attack!

【Cao Ying feels aggrieved and confused, Emotion Value +50】

"Young Master Gu Fei, do you really have such a deep prejudice against me?"

"If you truly dislike me that much, then I shall leave!"

The coldness in Gu Fei's tone made Cao Ying feel very aggrieved; she asked herself, she had not done anything excessive.

Was she really so annoying to him just for that?

"Since you've come, why hide and skulk about!"

Gu Fei ignored Cao Ying at this moment and instead looked toward a certain void in the hall.

"Heh heh, truly worthy of being the prodigy who could subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame..."

As Gu Fei's voice fell, subtle ripples suddenly spread through that void, and at the same time, a sinister voice echoed in the hall.

Immediately following, two figures entirely wrapped in black robes slowly emerged from that distorted space...

"People from the Soul Hall, your actions are truly as dark as rats..."

Gu Fei looked at the two with a cold gaze.

"What is going on? Are these people from the Soul Hall?"

"People from the Soul Hall, they actually arrived in Shengdan Cheng?"

This sudden situation caught some of the people around them by surprise.

"So I misunderstood him!"

Seeing those two, Cao Ying finally understood that Gu Fei's words were actually for her own good.

He knew there would be danger in the inn later, so he told her to leave early.

At this time, on the balcony of the inn, Venerable Tianhuo also appeared with a frown.

"Protect them both well!"

Gu Fei sent a voice transmission to Venerable Tianhuo.

He understood that the people from the Soul Hall must have been staking out this place for a long time, just waiting for him to return.

Gu Fei was not particularly surprised by this; after all, the news of him going to the Pill Tower to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame was known to most people in the Pill Tower and was no secret.

With the Soul Hall's infiltration capabilities, they might even have their own people within the Pill Tower.

"People of the Soul Hall, you are too bold, actually daring to commit crimes in Shengdan Cheng!"

After Cao Ying reacted, she wore an angry expression and loudly rebuked the two from the Soul Hall.

"Heh heh, this old man has already set up a Soul Barrier here; in a short time, no one will discover the situation here!"

Upon hearing this, one of the old men spoke gloomily; it seemed this person's soul power was not weak and should have reached the Spirit Realm.

On Gu Fei's side, he had already learned the identities of these two through the Emotion Value feedback.

One of them was the Mugu Elder, who had studied under the same master as Yao Chen.

The other was Zhaixing Old Ghost.

These two, one was a Three-Star Dou Venerable and Eighth Grade Alchemist, and the other was a Five Star Dou Zun.

"You are quite confident in yourself!"

At this moment, hearing Mugu Elder's confident words, Gu Fei could not help but smile faintly.

"To deal with a fledgling junior like you, this old man still has that much confidence!"

"I advise you to hand over the Three Thousand Burning Flame early; this old man might still consider sparing your life!"

Mugu Elder clearly did not understand the sarcasm in Gu Fei's words and sneered.

"Spare my life? I think you had better pray for yourselves!"

Gu Fei mocked again.

As his voice fell, vast soul power surged out from between his brows, transforming into a Soul Sword that stabbed at the Soul Barrier.

Having tempered his soul with the Earth Heart Soul Marrow, Gu Fei's soul power was already nearing the late stage of the Spirit Realm.

The mere Soul Barrier set up by Mugu Elder had almost no power to resist and shattered under the attack of Gu Fei's Soul Sword.

As the Soul Barrier shattered, the fluctuating aura here immediately spread out.

【Mugu Elder feels surprised, Emotion Value +20】

"How is this possible?"

Mugu Elder was full of surprise.

He did not expect that the soul power of this young man, Gu Fei, would be so strong; before they had even made a move, the Soul Barrier had been broken.

"The Pill Tower's territory will not tolerate the Soul Hall running wild here..."

As this voice rang out, the black-robed man's expression suddenly changed; he looked up at the sky and said in a hoarse voice, "Xuan Kongzi?"

"Great, Teacher will arrive immediately; you two lackeys of the Soul Hall will not be able to leave Shengdan Cheng today!"

Hearing this voice, the worry that had just been on Cao Ying's face melted away, and she said with great joy.

"Damn it..."

Mugu Elder hovered in mid-air, his sinister gaze staring at Gu Fei with a ghostly glow.

He did not expect that even with such caution, he would still be discovered by those old fellows from the Pill Tower.

Now that his tracks had been locked, if he stayed here for too long, the experts of the Pill Tower would likely arrive.

"Xuan Kongzi, this matter has nothing to do with your Pill Tower, why must you meddle in other people's business?"

Zhaixing Old Ghost, who had not spoken until now, shouted gloomily toward the sky with a dark face.

"Heh heh, this is Shengdan Cheng; if I let your Soul Hall run wild here, how would my Pill Tower answer to others?"

In the sky, the aged voice that had sounded earlier slowly echoed once more.

This voice came from the Void Space; clearly, the speaker had not arrived here yet but had used a mysterious method to transmit their aura from afar.

"Old Ghost, let's go!"

Mugu Elder knew the situation was critical at this moment, so he decisively wanted to leave this place.

"You think you can come and go as you please? You are thinking too simply!"

Gu Fei launched his attack at this moment; he struck the ground with his palm, and an instant later, a pillar of fire shooting into the sky erupted from beneath Mugu Elder's feet.

"It really is an Exotic Fire..."

Sensing the strange power within the fire pillar, Mugu Elder's face carried a hint of joy; he had coveted such a thing for far too long.

He struck out with a single palm, and a massive energy crystal claw instantly blocked the front of that fire pillar.

"Bang!"

Amidst this massive energy shockwave, Mugu Elder's figure retreated several steps in succession.

His face once again revealed a grave expression.

Clearly, Gu Fei's strength had already far exceeded Mugu Elder's estimations.

Originally, after receiving some information, he had chosen to bring Zhaixing Old Ghost along only to deal with Venerable Tianhuo, and he had not placed this junior, Gu Fei, in his eyes.

Now, a junior had actually managed to repel him with a single move; it was truly too outrageous.

"Mu Gu, this brat has some skills! Keeping him alive will likely be a disaster in the future!"

"Better to eliminate him early!"

Beside Mugu Elder, Zhaixing Old Ghost, who had not yet made a move, shouted loudly, then immediately extended his palm, pointing all five fingers toward Gu Fei.

His fingers trembled, and five streams of viscous black mist surged out from his fingertips.

Amidst a clattering sound, the black mist condensed into eerie black chains; the chains coiled in mid-air, and with a hiss, they pierced directly through the void, appearing above Gu Fei's head in the blink of an eye.

This sudden lightning-fast offensive also caused Gu Fei's expression to change slightly.

Zhaixing Old Ghost was not some trash like Mu Gu; his strength was close to Five Star Dou Zun Peak, so even Gu Fei had to take him seriously.
