Chapter 139: Soul Hall Seeks Peace

"Boom—"

A loud noise erupted, and the opaque sphere in the Void Space slowly opened, revealing several rather disheveled figures within.

"Well, you two from the Soul Clan, do you still wish to continue?" Xiao Han was panting slightly at this moment, staring straight ahead without blinking as he spoke.

"Hmph!" Hunmo Laoren and Hun Miesheng had lost all their composure at this moment,

their clothes tattered and their states clearly not very good. What made the two of them most displeased was that even by joining forces, they had only managed to fight to a draw with their opponent.

How could they, who were usually top-tier powerhouses, bear this?

"Hahaha—"

"I'd like to see how this old bird can still be so arrogant?" Thunder Spirit laughed loudly as he hurried toward Xiao Han's direction from afar, carrying the unconscious Thunder Emperor in his hand.

The latter had now lost all the demeanor of an expert; his purple robes had been scorched to charcoal by the lightning of Thunder Spirit, and his entire body twitched from time to time.

"Pavilion Master Su, are you certain that Langya Pavilion has the strength to offend two super factions at the same time?" Hun Miesheng adjusted himself,

a sharp glint flashing in his eyes,

and spoke.

"What, what level of powerhouse do you still want to send out?" Xiao Han's tone was unkind; beating them one after another, was the Soul Hall not tired?

"This Hall Master is willing to sign a contract with Langya Pavilion. From now on, the grievances between both sides shall be erased, and we shall not interfere with each other, how about that?" In any case, this was not the first time Hun Miesheng had done such a thing; he had handled the Dan Tower the same way back then.

As for the effect, as long as both sides could save face, that was enough. They could just keep fighting in the shadows! As long as it didn't escalate into a chaotic battle of Saints, everything remained under control.

If Langya Pavilion still wanted to meddle in the affairs of the Soul Hall, then they would continue to rely on their own abilities. If that didn't work, they could go to places outside the Central Plains and cause trouble without restraint.

"Why are you so certain that I will agree?" Xiao Han narrowed his eyes, looking at Hun Miesheng, and said in an unkind tone.

"I think Langya Pavilion should not want to fight the Soul Hall for a long time either," Hun Miesheng said with a smile.

In Hun Miesheng's view, there was no deep hatred between the two sides. The battles between the Soul Hall and the other party,

had even seen Langya Pavilion gain some advantages.

The greatest result they had achieved against Langya Pavilion was probably nearly finishing off the personal disciple of that Vice Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion,

but hadn't that not succeeded yet?

Moreover,

there was no conflict in the business scope of the two sides; there was really no need to start a war.

Of course, the most important thing was that the strength of Xiao Han and Langya Pavilion had already gained the attention of Hun Miesheng and the others; even Hunmo Laoren, who had always been at odds with Hun Miesheng, did not speak.

In their view, Langya Pavilion had already become a more thorny and troublesome existence than the Dan Tower. The Dan Tower belonged to the old-school factions; its foundation was too large, and its conduct was somewhat pedantic.

Furthermore, the combat effectiveness of that group of Alchemists was just so-so, not worth mentioning. The only one who could fight, the Dan Ta Lao Zu, was missing all year round.

But Langya Pavilion was completely different. After fighting group battles for so many years, the Soul Hall had more or less figured out the other side's combat power.

After years of development, Langya Pavilion already had no fewer than two hundred Dou Venerate powerhouses, among whom no fewer than ten were Peak Dou Venerates on the path of the Nine Turns, and this was even a relatively conservative answer.

Added to this were several powerful Saints like the Ice Saint; it could no longer be described as hard, it was simply like a diamond bone.

As a rising star, Langya Pavilion was very driven, which translated into action as: all members were very enthusiastic about shedding blood for their own sect.

Their combat power was top-notch!

To sum up,

Hun Miesheng still chose to let it go. Although he was returning empty-handed,

it had to be this way.

A Five-Star early-stage and a late-stage joining forces could not take down this Ice Saint,

did they still need to ask the clan to send out Six-Star level old monsters?

Did they really take those people from the Ancient Race for fools? Hun Miesheng dared to guarantee,

that this battle alone would be placed on the desks of many major factions within three days.

It was fine for them to break the rules once; after all, it hadn't damaged the interests of other Ancient Races, so everyone could turn a blind eye.

But if they did it again, they couldn't use "unintentional act" as an excuse. That would be stepping on the faces of other Ancient Races; Hun Miesheng admitted that his small arms and legs couldn't withstand such pressure.

However, although Hun Miesheng thought this way, the final result depended on the attitude of the Langya Pavilion Master.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Han, who had been lost in thought, gave his reply: "Deal!"

In any case, Langya Pavilion was not losing out this time. The losses originally caused by the clash with the Soul Hall and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan were instantly compensated for after Xiao Han took the ransom for five Saint powerhouses at once, and he even made a huge profit.

Especially those Medicinal Herbs; if they had to rely on Langya Pavilion to collect them themselves, he didn't know how much time and energy it would cost, but now it was all done in one step.

With the Medicinal Herbs in hand, a certain plan could continue to be pushed forward; how delightful!

Moreover, Xiao Han's goal of intimidating the Soul Hall had been achieved, and steady development was completely in line with the interests of Langya Pavilion. There was no need to delay his own development for the sake of that bit of empty fame from opposing the Soul Hall.

As for such things, that little fellow Xiao Yan would naturally do it in the future. Xiao Han still wanted to enjoy his retirement!

What's more...

Xiao Han glanced at Lei Huang, who was in the hands of Yunlei Jingling, and killing intent surged in his eyes. This Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan didn't stay properly in the Beast Domain and had taken the initiative to deliver themselves to his door.

It was just right to settle the new and old grudges together. Although he wouldn't finish off the other party's Saints, they wouldn't be able to escape a massive bloodletting.

"Then we shall part here. Later, members of my Soul Hall will come to discuss the ceasefire with your pavilion," Hun Miesheng once again put on that hypocritical demeanor and said gently.

As he spoke, Hun Miesheng and Hunmo Laoren took the still-unconscious Great Heavenly Venerable and the others and tore through space to leave.

"What do we do next?" Yunlei Jingling asked. As for Tianyin Laoren, he had returned to Langya Pavilion with Ye Jianxin to heal his wounds according to Xiao Han's instructions during the five-person battle.

"Let's go, to the Beast Domain!" Xiao Han took the Lei Huang from the other's hand, his voice raised slightly. It was just right; the two of them were carrying four Heavenly Demon Phoenix Saints, ready to go and settle the score.

Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Demon Phoenix Domain.

At this time, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan Leader, Huang Tian, was quietly staying at the entrance of the Yao Huang Kong Jian with his eyes closed, his brows furrowing from time to time, and then he opened his eyes again.

For some reason, Huang Tian always felt a bit panicked in his heart, as if something major was about to happen to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.

But he soon shook his head self-deprecatingly. How could that be! The only major action the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan had taken recently was sending four Supreme Elders of Saint level to assist the Soul Hall in destroying Langya Pavilion.

In the eyes of Huang Tian, although Langya Pavilion possessed two Saint-level powerhouses, the Ice Saint and Ye Jianxin, and had a not-insignificant reputation in the Central Plains, it was still far inferior compared to the Soul Hall.

Moreover, the Soul Hall had paid the price of a perfectly preserved Ancient Heaven Phoenix corpse! One could not know how many clansmen with extremely high bloodline purity could be created from this corpse, and perhaps he himself would have the opportunity to advance further.

Although this was not worth the price of four Saint-level powerhouses, it would not take much effort; he could just treat it as letting the Elders go out for a stroll or to clear their minds, and it was not as if they could be lost.

Since that mongrel remnant of his own clan did not know what was good for him, and the Soul Hall was so sincere, it was the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the might of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to the Central Plains, which would facilitate future actions.

Summarizing all of this, was there any reason to hesitate about how to choose?

Just as Huang Tian was indulging in fantasies about the wonderful life of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan...

"You motley birds of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, hurry up and come out to receive these four Saint-level Supreme Elders of yours; I won't wait past the deadline!"

Outside the Yao Huang Kong Jian, an extremely disrespectful voice suddenly rang out.
