Chapter 67: The Soul Hall Retreats
Since Xiao Han dared to come in person, he, being well-versed in the art of raiding homes, would naturally have arranged the defenses of his own base.
With the grand formation running all day and dozens of Dou Zun powerhouses left to guard it, it would be impossible to break through the Langya Pavilion's defensive line unless a Dou Sheng appeared.
Although the Soul Hall has quite a few Dou Sheng, they are not exactly cabbages; many Dou Sheng powerhouses have their own positions to guard and cannot be easily mobilized.
Aside from the Soul Hall Hall Master, the three who appeared before him are likely the limit.
However, Xiao Han has never understood why the Soul Hall would spend such great effort to deal with him.
Moreover, even if they use the Langya Pavilion to threaten him, once he successfully escapes, the Soul Hall might never have another peaceful day again, facing a Dou Sheng powerhouse constantly lurking in the shadows.
Xiao Han does not believe that fellow Hun Miesheng is that stupid!
"It seems Pavilion Master Su has great confidence in his Langya Pavilion!"
Xiao Han's calmness exceeded the Vice Hall Master's expectations; he had thought he could threaten him a little.
"However, this Hall Master was just speaking casually, Pavilion Master Su, please do not take it to heart."
The Vice Hall Master's simple sentence left everyone shocked.
Tianyin Laoren: "The Soul Hall Vice Hall Master actually chose to back down!"
He was very agitated at this moment; when the Soul Hall Vice Hall Master appeared just now, he had already prepared to break out with Xiao Han.
Yet, who would have thought that the arrogant Soul Hall Vice Hall Master would choose to concede? It was simply outrageous!
Great Heavenly Venerable, Guyou Shengzhe: "Why must the Vice Hall Master concede? The power of the three of us is enough to keep this Langya Pavilion Master here permanently."
However, as subordinates, they naturally could not question their superior in public; otherwise, no one would dare to help them if they were targeted!
"Are you playing with me?"
Xiao Han was feeling irritable at this moment due to the Soul Hall's nonsensical style. However, Xiao Han was in a bad mood, and the Soul Hall Vice Hall Master's mood was equally poor.
The original plan was indeed to kill two birds with one stone: on one hand, to ambush and kill Xiao Han and Tianyin Laoren on the only path to Sound Valley.
Isn't it a sure thing for three Dou Sheng to ambush a one-star Dou Sheng and a Half-Saint?
Then, taking advantage of the moment when both sides were leaderless, they would wipe out both the Langya Pavilion and Sound Valley in one fell swoop.
What a wonderful thing that would be!
However, the original one-star Dou Sheng became a two-star, and the Half-Saint became a Dou Sheng.
Just now, the Vice Hall Master himself had watched the entire process of Xiao Han fighting the Great Heavenly Venerable one-on-one. Although he did not know how he managed to crush someone of the same level with the cultivation of a two-star Dou Sheng.
But, the Vice Hall Master had just calculated in his heart that even with himself added, the combined power of the three might not be able to keep the Langya Pavilion Master.
Furthermore, that trash Gu You was still being suppressed and beaten by that Tianyin Laoren.
What's more, defeating and killing are two different things; the Langya Pavilion Master is not stupid, if he can't win, can't he run?
And according to his observations, this Langya Pavilion Master seemed to have sensed him long ago; looking at that relaxed appearance, he definitely hid his strength.
Once he really becomes a mortal enemy with the Soul Hall, they would constantly have to guard against the underhanded tactics of a top powerhouse with combat strength comparable to a three-star Dou Sheng.
That would truly be a beautiful disaster!
Being caught off guard is a small matter, but delaying the Hall Master's and the clan's grand plan is what would really be the end.
The Langya Pavilion Master himself does not have much conflict with the Soul Hall, which is completely worth noting for the Soul Hall, which has enemies everywhere!
Therefore, it is better to back down; those who achieve great things do not fuss over trifles!
Isn't it just Sound Valley? If it weren't for coveting that little bit of inheritance within Sound Valley, why go to such great lengths?
Now this is great; didn't get to eat the meat, but ended up covered in filth.
Just like that, the Soul Hall party left Sound Valley under the gaze of Xiao Han's displeasure and Tianyin Laoren's shock.
"Hoo~"
Tianyin Laoren let out a long sigh of relief.
Today was truly a close call; he had originally thought that one Soul Hall Great Heavenly Venerable was enough to take Xiao Han seriously.
He never expected that even the Soul Hall Vice Hall Master, a three-star Dou Sheng, would come in person.
As for that trash Guyou Shengzhe, he was subconsciously ignored by Tianyin Laoren; just kidding, why remember a guy who can't even beat him?
To waste his own brain, which is already not very sharp?
"Let's go!"
Xiao Han said to Tianyin Laoren. Now that the Soul Hall powerhouses have left, it is naturally time for Tianyin Laoren to clean up the house.
Just right, Xiao Han can pay homage to the slick maneuvers of this Sound Valley traitor who was able to hide for so long.
"Fine, but I hope Pavilion Master Xiao can keep it a secret."
Tianyin Laoren did not refuse Xiao Han's idea of watching the show; he was, after all, a savior to him and Sound Valley, and these messy affairs had already been spilled by himself, so he wasn't afraid of this little bit more.
However, watching is one thing, but family scandals should not be made public! For this reason, Tianyin Laoren specifically reminded Xiao Han.
Xiao Han could still manage to keep his mouth shut, and he agreed quite readily.
At this moment, inside Sound Valley, the Second Elder Yin Xian was strolling around the valley with a relaxed face, and from time to time, he would smile and greet the disciples in the valley.
Thinking that he would soon control this top force of the Central Plains, even being a dog for the Soul Hall was no problem!
Yin Xian knew very well that the Soul Hall seemed to have taken a fancy to the Sound Saint Inheritance of Sound Valley, but that was absolutely not a problem for Sound Valley or for him.
So many years have passed, and no one has appeared who could obtain the inheritance.
Since no one can get it, then this so-called inheritance is nothing but waste.
Subsequently, the sharp-eyed Yin Xian caught a glimpse of the two Supreme Elders monitoring him out of the corner of his eye, and he felt a burst of comfort in his heart.
"So what if you two are Half-Saint powerhouses? You still can't do anything to me."
Afterward, a warm smile curled at the corners of his mouth, and he waved in the direction of those two.
This made the disciples on the side think that the Second Elder seemed to have a very good relationship with the two Supreme Elders.
Back then, the sudden emergence of the Supreme Elders had also given them a fright, thinking that some powerful enemy had invaded.
Although the matter was left unsettled afterward, no one knew what madness had seized the Supreme Elders, as they just stayed here and even stopped doing something as important as secluded cultivation.
The above was merely the thinking of ordinary Disciples.
Yet at this moment, the Supreme Elders, seeing Yin Xian's smiling face, were incensed beyond control.
"Crack!"
One Supreme Elder snapped off a corner of a pillar directly and said through gritted teeth:
"A traitor who bites the hand that feeds him, how dare he be so arrogant!"
Another person hurriedly tried to soothe him; this hot-tempered one must not be allowed to cause any trouble!
"Yin Ling, calm your anger first; hasn't the Valley Master already gone to request reinforcements?"
"Sigh!" Hearing the comfort from their companion, the Supreme Elder known as Yin Ling saw their mood suddenly plummet.
"That Langya Pavilion Master is only a newly promoted Dou Sheng; can he deal with a Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Hall?"
"There is no other way; we can only treat a dead horse as if it were still alive."
The other person did not think highly of Xiao Han in their heart either; just as they had said, apart from trusting that Langya Pavilion Master, their Sound Valley had no other choice.
"However, you must hide that girl Xin'er well."
A flash of determination crossed their eyes.
"Once things truly reach a point of no return, even if we old fellows have to risk our lives, we must send her away."
"Naturally." Yin Ling nodded in agreement. Xin'er was the hope for the revival of their Sound Valley and absolutely could not be lost.
Just as the two were about to continue saying something, a roar came from afar.
"Yin Xian, you traitor, get out here!"
