Chapter 440: The Soul Hall Attacks

Just as Xun Er and Xiao Yi Xian were chatting, a battle suddenly broke out on the periphery of the Yuan Gu Yi Ji, and the powerful shockwaves caused the ground to tremble incessantly.

At this moment, Yao Lao, who had been exploring the Ancient Ruins with Zi Yan, also returned and said urgently, "The people from the World Association have been attacked, and there are quite a few attackers; the main force among them is the Soul Hall."

"I also received a message from an Elder. The Soul Hall has sent many people this time, with the goal of taking away the Yin-Yang Dual Flames and incidentally wiping out the World Association." Xun Er nodded. Before she came, she had asked the Elders to look after the World Association, and the fact that even the Elders had sent an emergency communication showed that the attackers were numerous and their strength formidable.

"Then what are we waiting for? Xiao Yan won't be able to wake up for a while, we should go out and help first!" Xiao Yi Xian said urgently.

"Right! Zi Yan, you stay here and guard Xiao Yan, we will go out to help." Yao Lao instructed Zi Yan.

Upon hearing this, although Zi Yan was somewhat unwilling in her heart—after all, her strength had improved significantly this time and she was preparing to find an opponent to test her power—Xiao Yan's safety was also very important.

Before Yao Lao, Xun Er, and Xiao Yi Xian even reached the periphery of the ruins, they heard the constant sounds of shouting and killing. After the three looked at each other, grave expressions appeared on their faces, and they immediately quickened their pace.

When the three arrived at the battlefield, they discovered that the people from the Soul Hall were besieging the members of the World Association; it was not just the Soul Hall, but also the Wind Lightning Pavilion, the Ice River Valley, and people from the Heaven Underworld Sect.

At this time, the people of the World Association were being beaten back step by step. Fortunately, Xun Er had brought many Gu Clan experts with her this time, otherwise, those from the World Association who came would have been completely wiped out.

"Heh heh, I thought the World Association was so impressive! Is this it? We went to such great lengths for nothing; they are so fragile." An old man wearing a blue robe casually killed a member of the World Association and said disdainfully.

"Old Nine, you can't say it like that. Mu Gu, Zhaixing Laogui, and the Hei Baitian Zun have all fallen at Xiao Yan's hands. The number of Dou Zun experts from the Soul Hall who have died at Xiao Yan's hands has already reached double digits, otherwise, they wouldn't have sent us here." An old man wearing black robes said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the blue-robed old man nodded. He looked down on the likes of Zhaixing Laogui, but he was aware of the Hei Baitian Zun; even for him, it would take some effort to defeat the two of them working together.

"This time, those above have issued a strict order for us to wipe out the World Association and also to take away the ancient jade on Xiao Yan's body as well as his Exotic Fire. After all, that person was very interested after learning that Xiao Yan possessed this Exotic Fire," the black-robed old man said with a serious face.

The blue-robed old man nodded and immediately said, "Taking the ancient jade from Xiao Yan and subduing the Exotic Fire is not our job; our mission is only to wipe out the World Association."

"That is true... It is not easy to subdue this Exotic Fire; even we cannot do it." The black-robed old man nodded, looking at the World Association below who were already retreating step by step. He felt a sense of regret in his heart; although there were Gu Clan experts helping, it was still of little use. The World Association ultimately lacked a deep foundation.

"Let's just take action and kill these Gu Clan experts! That way we can return to report our mission sooner." Seeing that the people of the World Alliance were still putting up a desperate struggle, the blue-robed old man lost his patience.

"Ninth Heavenly Venerate, Eighth Heavenly Venerate, we have a presumptuous request. Could you hand over these women from the World Alliance to our Heaven Underworld Sect?" Just then, a rather tall and thin old man licked his lips and smiled lecherously.

In fact, with Liu Cang's strength, he naturally did not need to bow and scrape to these two people who were weaker than him, but he knew that these two were just the weakest among the experts sent by the Soul Hall. "Yes! Yes! These women are so beautiful, it would be a waste to kill them!" A young man holding a purple folding fan and looking quite handsome also chimed in.

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Heavenly Venerate and Eighth Heavenly Venerate felt a wave of contempt in their hearts, but they were just a few women; giving them away was fine, and they would surely suffer a fate worse than death once they reached the Heaven Underworld Sect.

"Vice Sect Master Liu has contributed a lot this time. They are just a few women; if you want them, just take them away." Although he felt some contempt, the Ninth Heavenly Venerate agreed directly, after all, Liu Cang's strength was there! This superficial inquiry was just to give the Soul Hall some face.

Upon hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Liu Cang's face. He flashed directly in front of Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, looked at the beauties before him, and said with a lecherous smile, "The two of you had better come with me! That way you can at least keep your lives, and it will be very enjoyable when the time comes."

Looking at the lecherous Liu Cang in front of her, Yun Yun felt a wave of disgust in her heart and immediately shouted coldly, "Don't indulge in wishful thinking. Even if we die, we will not fall into your hands."

"Hmph! Truly refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" Seeing that Yun Yun was so unappreciative, Liu Cang was somewhat annoyed. However, as a Dou Zun Peak expert, Liu Cang was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly forcibly immobilized Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, and the other women.

Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, and the other women of the World Alliance suddenly felt the space around them locked, and a wave of despair filled their hearts.

Seeing this, Venerable Feng and Tianhuo Zunzhe rushed up to stop him, but they still could not block this Dou Zun Peak expert, Liu Cang.

Just as Liu Cang repelled Tianhuo Zunzhe and Venerable Feng and prepared to forcibly take Yun Yun and her group away, a giant black python appeared out of thin air and attacked him.

Looking at the suddenly attacking purple python, Liu Cang frowned slightly, then flicked his sleeve and directly dispersed the incoming python.

After the python was dispersed, a white figure appeared out of thin air. The woman had a tall figure, her three thousand strands of dark hair draped casually, and she looked like a fairy.

Looking at the beauty who suddenly appeared before him, Liu Cang drooled and said ecstatically, "I didn't expect another surprise. I will definitely take you back to the Heaven Underworld Sect to cherish you well. Come with me!"

Looking at the lecherous old man in front of her, Xiao Yi Xian knitted her willow-leaf eyebrows. The mark between her brows lit up, and endless poison energy surged out from her body, turning into a huge python in the air and attacking Liu Cang.

"So it's a rose with thorns, but that's what makes it flavorful." Looking at the two giant pythons rushing toward him, although Liu Cang spoke flippantly, he did not dare to be careless, as the Woeful Poison Body was not to be trifled with.

"I was wondering why the World Alliance was so weak! So it turns out the experts left temporarily." Seeing Xiao Yi Xian suddenly appear, the Ninth Heavenly Venerate was somewhat surprised, but he did not take it to heart. Although Xiao Yi Xian possessed the Woeful Poison Body, her strength was still a bit low at this moment; even with the Woeful Poison Body fully unleashed, she could barely reach the level of an Eight-Star Dou Zun and was simply no match for Liu Cang, a Dou Zun Peak expert.
