Chapter 64: Sixth-Third Chapter: The Heavenly Venerable

"Right now!" Xiao Han did not dally at all this time.

Gathering more men was impossible, and enough time had already been wasted; it was better to set off early.

For this support mission to Sound Valley, anyone else going would be a complete burden; having the two Dou Sheng powerhouses, Xiao Han and Tianyin Laoren, was enough.

"Then let us set off now," Tianyin Laoren said with some anxiety.

Although he could guess that as long as Xiao Han and he did not walk right into a trap, Sound Valley would not face any major problems.

But one cannot be too careful! If the guys from Soul Hall truly became desperate, Sound Valley would have absolutely no possibility of resistance.

Accompanied by the appearance of a pitch-black vortex, Xiao Han and Tianyin Laoren walked out side by side.

"Old man Tianyin, I say, you were really specifically let out, weren't you!"

Xiao Han swept a casual glance over the surrounding space and could not help but tease.

Just now, he had not even used his Soul Power, yet he had easily sensed a great deal of hostility.

Regarding this, what could Tianyin Laoren say? If you see through it, don't point it out; we are still good brothers! Being blocked by people right in front of his own faction's gate, he was also very embarrassed!

To Tianyin Laoren, the undisguised killing intent all around was completely like a lighthouse in the darkness—conspicuous to the extreme.

"Alright, Pavilion Master Su, let's just wait here for a moment!

After all, they have been squatting here for us for so long; we can't let them return disappointed, can we?"

It must be said that Tianyin Laoren had been incredibly stifled lately. Now that he had just broken through to Dou Sheng and a group of free punching bags had appeared before him, if he didn't take the opportunity to retaliate, it would be a total loss!

Think of him, the dignified Sound Valley Master, once a Half-Saint and now a Dou Sheng—when had he ever suffered such grievances? Today, he would just treat it as collecting some interest.

"Pavilion Master Su, please wait a moment and let this old man loosen his muscles. I'll send them to meet the founding ancestor of my Sound Valley!"

A white-haired old man, looking as if he were on the verge of death, stretched and spoke words full of killing intent with a relaxed expression.

Before the words had even faded, a spatial fluctuation appeared before them, causing Tianyin Laoren's eyes to shrink.

Suddenly, two skeletal, black-robed figures appeared before Xiao Han and the other, emitting eerie laughter.

"Hehehe~"

"It is truly troublesome for the two of you to act personally. However, I would still prefer it if you could show mercy and spare these pieces of trash.

Can you, Pavilion Master Su?"

The person who spoke was none other than the Heavenly Venerable, and behind him was Gu You, the Guyou Shengzhe who had luckily escaped with his life after being rescued by Hun Miesheng back then.

Although the Heavenly Venerable said he hoped Xiao Han and Tianyin Laoren would show mercy, he was actually only speaking to Xiao Han, the Dou Sheng powerhouse.

It was very clear that the other party did not take Tianyin Laoren, this "Advanced Half-Saint," seriously at all.

"I am truly curious, are all the powerhouses of your Soul Hall so eerie and terrifying in appearance?

Are you not afraid of scaring children until they cry?"

Xiao Han did not answer the Heavenly Venerable's words, but instead changed the subject on his own.

"Oh, no..." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Han seemed to suddenly remember something, and he patted his head.

"I forgot, your Soul Hall's reputation in the Central Plains is enough to stop children from crying at night! My apologies, my apologies!" After saying this, he even cupped his hands.

Regarding this, the two big shots of Soul Hall were not the least bit angry. Just kidding—what the man said was the truth, and they in Soul Hall did not consider it a shame, but rather a point of pride!

The Heavenly Venerable chuckled and said:

"In this world, strength is what matters most. Appearance is merely a skin. We should actually thank the Ice Saint for the compliment."

"Uh..." The corners of Xiao Han's mouth twitched involuntarily. Very good, very powerful. He could only say that the joys and sorrows of people are not shared!

If he grew up looking like that, even if Yi Huang didn't mind, he himself would want to commit suicide to atone for his sins!

"Big Brother, why do we need to be polite with this brat? Why don't we just finish him off and then destroy Langya Pavilion?"

At this moment, Guyou Shengzhe began to jump around beside the Heavenly Venerable, his hoarse voice making one's heart jump.

However, before the Heavenly Venerable could say anything, a cold light suddenly shot toward Guyou Shengzhe, giving him a fright.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Venerable blocked it with quick reflexes.

"Ice Saint, don't be so hot-tempered!"

Having caught Xiao Han's sneak attack with ease, the Heavenly Venerable's expression was not very good either.

Little brother, you are not following the rules a bit; aren't we in the middle of a verbal sparring match? Why did you suddenly decide to make a move!

"Gu You, do you, the Second Heavenly Venerable of Soul Hall, think that just because you have the Heavenly Venerable here to back you up, I can't kill you?"

Not responding to the Heavenly Venerable's questioning, Xiao Han only stared coldly at Guyou Shengzhe, the killing intent in his eyes undisguised.

He was too insufferable!

As the symbol of his hard work, Langya Pavilion was now being threatened with destruction by a defeated opponent who dared to speak such big words to his face; this undoubtedly touched Xiao Han's reverse scale.

"Sigh! This really cannot end well now." Tianyin Laoren heard the boundless rage beneath Xiao Han's cold words and sighed deeply in his heart.

At the same time, he prepared himself to fight Soul Hall to the death.

"You... you!" Facing such a naked threat from Xiao Han, Guyou Shengzhe was both shocked and angry. Think of him, the dignified Second Heavenly Venerable of Soul Hall, a Dou Sheng powerhouse.

When out and about, who would dare to be disrespectful to him, or dare to be disrespectful to the Soul Hall behind him?

Yet, he had repeatedly suffered setbacks at the hands of this Langya Pavilion Master. Even the Soul Hall behind him was not taken seriously; otherwise, he wouldn't keep calling him 'Second Heavenly Venerable' over and over.

But facing the other party's contempt, the outmatched Guyou Shengzhe could not say a single word.

"Pavilion Master Su, watch your tongue. My Soul Hall is not something that a mere One-Star Dou Sheng like you can slander."

The Heavenly Venerable's tone was somewhat unfriendly; he could naturally feel Xiao Han's disrespect toward Soul Hall.

Of course, the Heavenly Venerable didn't care about a guy like Gu You—a piece of trash who could lose a two-on-one fight. If it weren't for the fact that he was a Dou Sheng and still had some value, he would have long since had his soul extracted and his marrow refined.

But Soul Hall was his bottom line; the Heavenly Venerable would never allow anyone to dare violate the majesty of Soul Hall.

"Yo, what's wrong? Your Soul Hall is already preparing to deal with me, yet you won't let me curse a few times?"

Xiao Han said with a sneer.

The Great Heavenly Venerable suddenly paused; this was something he could not refute.

It was obvious that he and his group had appeared here today to ambush the Langya Pavilion Master; even if he explained that they were just here to be guests, would anyone believe him?

Since that was the case, given such a great enmity, wasn't it normal for the other party to curse a few times? In any case, the reputation of their Soul Hall had long since completely rotted away; one doesn't feel the itch when there are too many lice.

However, although he thought this in his heart, he absolutely could not show it; defending one's own sect is what is called political correctness.

"What a sharp-tongued brat. I won't say any more superfluous words; let us see the real truth through our actions!"

The Great Heavenly Venerable's eyes, which were like ghost fire, flickered, and his skull-like face slowly opened and closed, emitting a 'Crack!' sound as he spoke gloomily.

Hearing these words, Tianyin Laoren, who had been watching from the sidelines as Xiao Han fought two opponents and traded verbal barbs with the two from the Soul Hall, immediately tensed his entire body.
