Fights Break Sphere: Thunder Shattered

Chapter 513 Tsk tsk, 'Disdainful of lying'?
Just as he finished speaking, a medicinal herb resembling a lingzhi mushroom fell from the old man's black robe and rolled a few times on the ground, instantly silencing the entire main hall.

The black-robed old man's cold smile was still frozen on his lips when a sudden "clack" sounded like a gavel, instantly silencing the surrounding atmosphere.

All eyes instantly shifted from the old man's stiff face to the dark purple Ganoderma lucidum that had fallen from the hem of his robe and was still rolling slightly.

Time seems to have frozen.

The old man, who had just been sternly rebuking the one who "disdained to lie," suddenly seemed to have something stuffed into his throat, unable to utter a single clear syllable.

"Yunni Zizhi, this kind of medicinal herb can no longer be seen now, it only exists in ancient times. Black Heavenly Venerable, what did you just say? This Valley Master did not hear you very clearly."

Tang Zhen's face was filled with sarcasm as he slowly pointed his finger at the purple Ganoderma lucidum lying quietly on the ground, his voice tinged with disdain.

Tang Zhen had read many books on medicinal herbs and prescriptions for Tang Huo'er's health problems, and his understanding of elixirs was no less than that of a seventh-grade alchemist.

"you!"

The black-robed old man, known as the Black Celestial, first turned blood red, then his face turned ashen with rage and shame.

A powerful black battle aura emanated uncontrollably from his body, like a chilling venomous snake, forcing back the dust on the ground.

The Blood Spirit Mushroom, however, remained motionless within the vortex, standing out starkly.

"This is not mine!" he roared, his voice filled with rage. "Someone framed me! Someone planted this on me!!"

"Hmph!!" A sneer rang out, coming from the same Heavenly Phoenix Clan elder. "You mean someone framed you? What kind of power would it take to 'plant' something into the robes of a Dou Zun expert without anyone noticing?"

"This kind of mysterious and unpredictable ability, even a half-saint can't do it, right? Unless a battle saint personally comes, it can be done, right? But let's not talk about battle saints, a half-saint is enough to sweep away everyone here."

"Black Celestial, do you think we're all three-year-olds, or are you just getting senile?!"

"You," Black Celestial Venerable was covered in black mist, looking furious.

"Old Hei, calm down." The white-robed old man next to Hei Tianzun patted Hei Tianzun's body with his withered hand, suppressing his fighting spirit.

The other powerful figures in the hall also recovered from their shock and exchanged meaningful glances.

"Tsk tsk, 'disdainful of lying'?" Xiao Yan sneered coldly from the side. He had been hunted down by the Soul Hall people quite a bit during this period. "Caught red-handed, what else is there to say?"

“This young man is right. The things are still at your feet. You’re still trying to make excuses. You’ve taken everything, leaving nothing behind. You must give something up, or you’ll be leaving the main hall.”

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, a series of faint and elusive voices rose from the crowd, making it impossible to pinpoint their source.

Guided by this voice, a chorus of condemnation erupted from the crowd.

Upon hearing these people's shouts, the Black Celestial's face darkened even further, and his hands clenched tightly inside his sleeves.

His eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan, but he didn't make any rash moves. The other man possessed the soul of the Medicine Venerable; if he were to use Ghost Possession, along with the surrounding people, his Soul Hall members might not be a match for him. Bai Tianzun noticed that the other forces were also watching him with a sinister gaze. To prevent them from being targeted, he needed to clean up the situation and avoid a complete encirclement. Moreover, his Soul Hall's backup plan hadn't arrived yet; he would deal with the people here once it did.

Bai Tianzun patted Hei Tianzun on the shoulder and stepped out from the Soul Palace's ranks. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many powerful forces and rivals, these gossipy people would have been turned into part of the Soul Summoning Banner long ago.

He also knew that after this medicinal herb appeared, the rumors he had spread were now irrefutable, leaving him no room for denial unless he opened his body and storage ring for inspection.

But no one would do that to prove their innocence.

"We don't know the reason either, but there's no point in saying more. After the seal is broken, we don't want the scrolls inside, and we'll deal with some of the puppets first."

Bai Tianzun knew that all these people were saying was actually trying to make him and the others cannon fodder.

We only have two paths left.

They could either turn around and leave, and they wouldn't dare stop them, but if they turned around and left, the mission would fail, and they would have to accept punishment when they returned.

They either had to pay the price and stay, and that price was to be the vanguard. As for the Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques, although they were very tempting, that wasn't their mission.

The leaders of the various factions exchanged glances and then nodded slightly.

“Since the Heavenly Venerable has said so, we must give him face.” An elder of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan said with a smile, but his tone was full of sinister feeling. “Hei Tianzun, you’d better behave yourself next time, or you’ll lose face. You’re getting on in years, you still need to have some dignity.”

Clearly, this elder and the Black Celestial Venerable have a long-standing grudge.

"Yaofeng, you..." Black Heavenly Venerable's face turned even uglier, he was actually being mocked by a former defeated opponent.

"What do you mean 'you'? You'd better deal with this properly later. We're all watching you. If you're not willing, then get lost." The elder of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, known as the Demon Peak, said coldly.

"Hmph!!" In the end, Black Heavenly Venerable could only snort like a powerless husband, daring not to make any move.

After glancing at the people from the Soul Palace, Xiao Yan's gaze fell directly on the remains of a Dou Sheng.

He recalled what Xiao Tian had once told him, asking him to postpone the resurrection of Yao Lao.

"Teacher, if we used the remains of a Dou Sheng to refine your body, would you directly reach the Dou Sheng realm?" A fiery light flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

"Hehe, that's not impossible, but the bones of a Dou Sheng are not easy to refine. If the situation allows, adding a little bone might allow me to gain some insights and thus reach the level of a half-saint."

After a light laugh, Yao Lao continued, "However, you shouldn't make a move on this skeleton. The remains of a Dou Sheng are not simple; there might be some hidden tricks."

“Pay attention to the people from the Soul Palace. Judging from their subtle glances and their direct statement about giving up those scrolls, it seems more like they’re after the skeleton.”
