Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 430 What does the Palace Master say?
Zhongzhou, Mountains of the Dead.

In this mountain range shrouded in black mist, a huge valley surrounded by mountains on all sides stands majestically on the top of the mountain range.

Countless giant birds with pitch-black bodies were circling and screaming here, and their scarlet ghost eyes were like bloodthirsty sickles, wantonly reaping the souls of the passing creatures.

Black-feathered mist crow.

This item is one of the important magic weapons of the Soul Palace for hunting living souls and detecting information. It is extremely precious. Even with the power of a heavenly guardian, only a few can be obtained.

But here, it has become a flood!
It is conceivable that the treatment here is so different from that of ordinary Soul Palace forces.
At this moment, in the huge black hall, an old man in linen clothes was sitting in the center of the hall.

His face was gloomy, and he did not hide his features at all with his black robe, but he still made the guardians below silent and afraid to make any unusual movements.

After a long silence, the old man's dry mouth suddenly cracked into a smile, and he said hoarsely:
"I have been in seclusion for a long time, concentrating on elixirs. I didn't expect that the first thing I would hear after coming out would be the news that the projection was destroyed. Interesting, really interesting."

"My Soul Palace has been roaming the continent for a long time, and we are well-informed about every sect. But who could have expected that a Dou Zun-level expert would be quietly hiding in the Black Horn Region?"

Upon hearing this, the guardians below looked at each other in confusion, and no one dared to respond to the other person's words.

The old man in front of him has always been known for his bad temper and viciousness. Even in the Soul Palace, almost no one is willing to have contact with him.

The reason was because of his identity as an eighth-grade alchemist and the fact that he had been valued by the Palace Master.

With this special honor, even many powerful people at the level of Heavenly Venerable would be extremely polite to him.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly depressing, a Heavenly Grade Guardian finally couldn't withstand the pressure anymore and stepped forward tremblingly, saying, "Respected Elder, what if it's the one from the Heavenly Snake Palace?"

"Heavenly Snake Mansion?"

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a sinister smile, he said, "If that old snake hadn't been unable to survive in Zhongzhou, why would he have fled to that barren land in the Northwest?"

"He didn't even dare to provoke Mang Tianchi, who hadn't yet been promoted to Dou Zun. Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he would never destroy my projection!"

In his rage, a faint breath leaked from the old man's body. It was just a tiny, imperceptible trace, but it was enough to make the Heavenly Guardian's knees twist and his face change drastically. He immediately roared:
"Respected Elder, a Dou Zun-level dispute is beyond our comprehension with our limited authority. I hope you will show some mercy!"

"Hehehe, ignorance is not a crime, but you clearly know that you don't understand the entanglements involved, yet you still wantonly discuss them. Aren't you misleading me?"

The old man laughed grimly, and then, amidst the pale faces of the guardians, he grabbed the heavenly guardian from the air and threw him straight to the huge formation on the side.

"No, please spare my life, please spare my life!"

The Heavenly Guardian looked at the ever-approaching formation, his body shaking like a sieve and cold sweat pouring down.

However, upon hearing the other party's wailing, the old man did not feel any pity, but instead revealed a bloodthirsty smile, and his previously gloomy expression seemed to have eased a lot.
"Hehehe, since you can add strength to my Soul Palace formation, your death is worthy."

"what!!!"

The domineering and brutal scene made everyone's hearts tremble. They crawled on the ground in rows and dared not say anything.

Obviously, they were already accustomed to the old man's eccentric behavior. Even if they were extremely dissatisfied, they could only swallow their anger under the hopeless gap in their cultivation.
But just when the unfortunate Heavenly Guardian was about to be swallowed by the formation, an old and indifferent voice suddenly sounded in the hall -

"Mu Gu, the guardians of this branch temple of mine are not ordinary people. If you destroy them all with this excuse, I'm afraid it won't be long before we disband."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guardian, who had been struggling against the formation's suction, suddenly formed a layer of deep purple barrier around him, instantly breaking free from Mu Gu's condensed hand. Seeing this, Elder Mu Gu's expression froze slightly, and he stopped trying to stop him. Instead, he said with a forced smile, "So it's you, old fellow, who's here. Since you're asking me to help you refine the medicine, you're not willing to pay me a little in advance?"

"I will pay your reward separately. As for the lives of these guardians, I'm afraid you don't have the final say."

After saying that, the black fog flickered quietly, and a figure suddenly walked out slowly from it.

The man who came was wearing a gray-white robe and had several horizontal hooks on his feet. The invisible aura he exuded actually suppressed Mu Gu a little.

It is obvious that this person is the core existence in charge of this branch of the Soul Palace!
"Since the real owner is here, I will naturally give him this honor."

Glancing at the old man in the distance, a trace of fear flashed in Mu Gu's eyes, and then he spoke slowly.

The invisible confrontation was fleeting, and many guardians only felt a palpitation, and the originally tense atmosphere turned into calm in an instant.

Seeing the confused expressions of the people below him, the old man sighed slightly and waved his hand casually.
"I have something important to discuss with Elder Mu Gu. Since your cultivation is insufficient, please withdraw first."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, all the guardians breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to stay any longer. They almost crawled out of the hall.

Seeing the hall return to silence, the old man nodded slightly, found a seat and sat down casually, then smiled faintly and said:

"Now that you know the location of your enemy, instead of going to the Black Horn Territory to seek revenge, you are taking someone down in my branch hall to vent your anger on Mu Gu. This is not like your temper."

Hearing this, a gloomy look flashed across Mu Gu's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Hmph, if I could go and seek revenge, why would I stay here for so long!"

"Oh?"

The old man frowned, and his smile gradually faded: "You mean, there are powerful people in the Black Horn Region who even you can't contend with?"

"If it was just a powerful enemy that I couldn't handle, why would I be so upset?"

Elder Mu Gu sneered, "As an eighth-grade alchemist, apart from those top-tier experts, when have I ever taken the rest of the Dou Zun seriously? Ultimately, it's just because I'm restricted."

"what do you mean?"

"With my own caution, I would have brought enough people to eliminate this mysterious and powerful individual who suddenly appeared. However, when I reported this to the Palace Master, I only received one sentence."

".What does the Palace Master say?"

After taking a deep breath, Old Man Mu Gu suddenly became expressionless: "Don't touch Jianan!"

These four short words were like a thunderclap, shocking the old man sitting there so much that his pupils could shrink slightly and his face was filled with shock.

"What did you say?"
