Eternal madness

Chapter 166 First Confrontation with the Soul Palace

"What a courage!"

Suddenly, a reddish-brown flame attacked. Xiao Li waved his hand, and a black fire dragon swept out.

Boom——

With a roar, the black fire dragon dispersed the reddish-brown flames, which were completely defeated!

"Exotic fire!"

The one who made the move was none other than the Sixth Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace, the Demon Flame Heavenly Venerable. The Demon Flame Heavenly Venerable was famous throughout the continent for his demonic flames, but unfortunately, his demonic flames were ultimately no match for the strange fires of heaven and earth.

"Yin Yang Venerable, do you think that by joining Yin Valley you can become an enemy of my Soul Palace? Don't forget that one of Yin Valley's Dou Sheng powerhouses was killed by our Palace Master back then!" Six Heavenly Venerable said sinisterly.

"Heh, the Lord of the Soul Hall? He'll get into trouble sooner or later. As for me, I just don't like your Soul Hall! So what! Besides, doesn't your Soul Hall have enough enemies already?"
"Others fight over treasures, while your Soul Palace's stray dogs ambush them. I simply can't stand it. Although it's a world of survival of the fittest, in my eyes, they're still meat. What? You, Sixth Heavenly Venerable, want to play with me?"

Xiao Li crossed his arms and said that he really didn't know that a Dou Sheng powerhouse from Yin Valley had fallen at the hands of the Soul Palace Master.

The Sixth Heavenly Venerable sneered: "Very well, since you can't stand it, then this Heavenly Venerable will grant your wish! I'll take your soul. I'm sure a Soul Palace Master like you will be happy, hehehe."

Xiao Li sneered, then looked at the group of powerful figures vying for the treasure and shouted, "Everyone, look at me! I have something to say!"

Xiao Li's voice immediately quieted down the noise in the room.

Seeing that many people were looking at him, Xiao Li said, "Today, I have a bad feeling about the Soul Palace and am recruiting strong people to hunt down its members. I will reward you with pills! Are you all interested in participating?"
If you kill a Soul Hall Elder and offer his head to me, I will pay him three Grade 8 pills as a reward. If you kill a Soul Hall Celestial Venerable, I will give him three Grade 8 pills that have been tempered by the Six-Colored Pill Lightning.

"If anyone can kill these six Heavenly Venerables, I can personally refine three Grade 8 pills for them, each one having undergone the Eight-Colored Pill Lightning!"

As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, the eyes of all the powerful figures present were fixed on the direction of the Soul Palace, their gazes bloodshot and filled with greed. However, none of them made the first move. They were all shrewd and had not yet determined the credibility of Master Wang Li.

Although Wang Li has a great reputation, and some busybodies compare him to the Medicine Venerable of yesteryear, if the powerful figures present were to choose between the two, most would choose the Medicine Venerable because of his good reputation and the fact that he had never defaulted on any pills.

Wang Li wasn't saying that he had a bad reputation, but rather that none of the powerful figures present had ever cooperated with him before, so they adopted a conservative attitude and waited to see how things would develop.

At this moment, the people from the Soul Hall had turned ashen-faced, but they were surrounded by an eerie black mist, making it impossible to see their dark faces.

"The Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire: First Transformation, Second Transformation, Third Transformation!"

Suddenly, a loud shout broke the silence. Tang Zhen, the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, exuded an overwhelming aura. His cultivation had also broken through the four-star Dou Zun level and reached the five-star Dou Zun level.

"Taiyi Fire Palm!"

Tang Zhen's powerful battle qi erupted like a volcano, and his huge silver palm shone brightly. In the center of his palm, a mysterious silver rune was faintly visible. The dazzling light caused many people around to shield their eyes from the glare.

Tang Zhen's target this time was a two-star Dou Zun level elder from the Soul Palace. Tang Zhen immediately unleashed the full power of the Heavenly Flame Three Transformations, barely raising his strength by one star to the level of a five-star Dou Zun. For a five-star Dou Zun to kill a two-star Dou Zun should be a piece of cake.

Boom——

Before the elder of the Soul Hall could react, he was struck by a huge silver palm and died on the spot.

Tang Zhen quickly moved forward, retrieved the remains of the Soul Hall Elder, and arrived in front of Xiao Li in a few instants.

"Master Wang Li, please accept this venerable elder." Tang Zhen said with a smile. "Hmm, thank you, Valley Master Tang. Since Valley Master Tang was the first to kill a venerable elder of the Soul Hall, I must also show my appreciation. Here! Four rank-eight pills! Take them, the extra one is a bonus from me."

Xiao Li took the corpse of the Soul Hall Elder and threw it away like trash. Then he took out four jade bottles and threw them to Tang Zhen.

"Thank you, Master Wang Li." Tang Zhen couldn't stop smiling. As an old and shrewd man, he naturally knew that Xiao Li wanted to create momentum, because Xiao Li's alchemy skills were well-known, but he did not yet have the reputation to command a large following.

Tang Zhen was already familiar with Xiao Li and naturally understood Xiao Li's character, so he took direct action and killed a Soul Hall elder on the spot. Anyway, the Soul Hall also had a grudge against their Burning Flame Valley, so killing an elder was nothing to Tang Zhen.

This way, they could not only obtain an eighth-grade elixir, but also deepen their relationship. Moreover, Tang Zhen knew what problem had arisen in Burning Flame Valley, and only a highly skilled alchemist could solve this serious issue.

Tang Zhen didn't want to hire the people from Danta, nor could he afford to, but he felt there was a chance if it was Xiao Li. So he kept trying to please Xiao Li and deepen their relationship.

hiss--

Seeing that "Master Wang Li" had readily given out the pills, the crowd had no more worries and immediately sprang into action, rushing towards the location of the Soul Palace.

"How dare you!" the Sixth Heavenly Venerable roared, intending to kill the group of arrogant fools before him.

"Sixth Heavenly Venerable, where do you think you're going? Your head is worth three Grade 8 Eight-Colored Thunder Pills. Three Grade 8 Eight-Colored Pills are enough to elevate this old man to a higher level."

A figure in gray robes blocked the Six Heavenly Venerables' path. This person looked quite unfamiliar and was not a well-known expert on the continent, but he exuded an aura far exceeding that of a peak Dou Zun.

"Transcendent Dou Zun!" Six Heavenly Venerable felt a chill run down his spine. He himself was only a Nine-Star Dou Zun. Facing a Transcendent Dou Zun, he had little advantage. Moreover, he sensed more than one gaze.

"The demonic flames surge into the sky!"

The Six Heavenly Venerables suddenly sprang into action, unleashing a torrent of crimson-brown flames from their hands as they attacked the powerful figure before them.

"A mere trick!" The Transcendent Realm Dou Zun waved his hand and dispersed the flames. After the flames were dispersed, the six Heavenly Venerables could no longer be seen, and even the Demon Heavenly Venerable had disappeared. Only a few elders and the other guardians remained.

"You just wait for me!" The Sixth Heavenly Venerable's last words echoed here.

"Tsk, he got away, damn it! My pills!" The Transcendent Realm Dou Zun was extremely annoyed at this moment, as three Grade 8 pills with eight-colored pill lightning flew away right before his eyes.

Subsequently, several powerful figures killed the elders of the Soul Hall, intending to exchange their corpses for pills with Xiao Li. However, a considerable struggle ensued over the corpses, with some even fighting over them.

"Alright, everyone, I've seen it all. Everyone who attacked the Soul Palace this time has an eighth-grade pill. Come here to collect your pills. Two eighth-grade pills for working together to kill the Soul Palace elder, one eighth-grade pill for participating in the kill, and three eighth-grade pills for killing alone."

Xiao Li said with a smile, and then countless powerful people came to Xiao Li to line up and receive the pills.

"Thank you, Master Wang Li!"

"Thank you, Master Wang Li."

"Thank you, Master."

These Dou Zun powerhouses all had rosy complexions. Having obtained eighth-grade pills, who wouldn't be happy? It can only be said that killing the Soul Palace Elder was truly worthwhile.
