Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 272 The Soul Extinction Plan

"What! Dead! The Vice Hall Master was a late-stage Three-Star Dou Sheng! How could he be dead?"

The Great Celestial Venerable was extremely surprised. The Deputy Hall Master could be considered the second most important person in the Soul Hall. Unless it was an Imperial Clan member, even if it was an Imperial Clan member, they would not be harmed because of the Soul Clan.

"Yes, they're dead! Oh, you don't know about this yet. You've been busy with the Styx Alliance, and you haven't gone to the Human Palace yet, right? Not only him, but Blood River and the other six are all dead!"

"Now, of the nine Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace, only you, Gu You, and Shuo Wu remain." Soul Extinction said slowly, as if it were a trivial matter.

"How could that be?"

"Because he went to cause trouble for the Xiao clan. You saw it yourself. The Xiao clan still has an extremely powerful Dou Sheng expert alive! Given the level of hatred between the Xiao clan and my Soul Clan, he will have no chance of survival!"

"I have already reported this matter to the clan, and their advice is for us to remain inactive! Keep your Styx Alliance under your command in check and try to disrupt the waters of Central Plains for me!"

Hun Miesheng said calmly, as if he were indifferent to the death of the deputy hall master.

That's how the Soul Palace works—survival of the fittest. If you're not strong enough, you'll die. But if you affect the clan's plans because of your own selfish desires, you'll find it hard to die even if you want to.

"Yes!" The Great Celestial Venerable nodded in agreement.

Hun Miesheng continued, "Considering that the Soul Palace is short-handed, you can select some decent people from several Earthly Fiend Palaces to fill the positions of the Nine Heavenly Venerables!"

"This hall has also managed to obtain some pills from the clan. You and Gu You should consume them quickly. From now on, you will be the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall, Gu You will be the Great Celestial Venerable, and Shuo Wu will be the Second Celestial Venerable! Understand?"

The Great Celestial Venerable immediately knelt down: "Thank you for your guidance, Lord Palace Master!"

The Great Celestial Venerable never expected that such immense wealth would fall into his lap. Now that he was a two-star Dou Sheng, he could be considered the face of the Soul Palace. With the death of the Vice Palace Master, it was only natural that he would take over!

"Our Soul Hall doesn't care about these empty words; doing practical things is the most important thing. Our Soul Hall's tasks for the future are only the following."

The next Pill Gathering is just around the corner. Have Mu Gu bring the Three Thousand Burning Flames here. Tell Mu Gu that if he succeeds in obtaining the Three Thousand Burning Flames, I will give him an incredible opportunity!

Next, let the Styx Alliance grow even bigger. No matter what method you use, turn the Styx Alliance into a mad dog and make it bite the Sound Valley, the Burning Flame Valley, the Flower Sect, and the Starfall Pavilion!

Force that so-called Heavenly Mansion Alliance to come out! If we can force out this Heavenly Mansion Alliance, hehe, I suppose we won't need to take action; the other imperial clans will take their place!

One last thing: raise the soul quotas for branch temples in all regions again, and improve the reward system as well! The more rewards, the more motivated the subordinates will be, understand?

Hun Miesheng told the newly promoted deputy hall master about his next plan!

"Yes, sir! I will arrange it immediately!"

The Great Celestial Venerable was naturally overjoyed to be promoted directly to the position of Vice Palace Master. He was now full of energy, and if he could arrange these matters properly, he would surely receive a reward from the clan!

One particularly good thing about the Lord of the Soul Palace is his clear distinction between rewards and punishments! As long as someone has made a contribution or is of great use, Soul Extinction will not hesitate to personally reward them. For example, the Demon Protector who had made a contribution was promoted to the rank of Elder by Soul Extinction.

And then there's Mu Gu, who is the only eighth-grade alchemist in the Soul Palace! Hun Miesheng arranged for him to participate in the next Pill Gathering! He personally rewarded him with a flame whose power was no less than that of a strange fire.

If it weren't for the fear of exposing the Void Devouring Flame, Hun Miesheng would have even wanted Mu Gu to bring the Void Devouring Flame sub-flame to the Pill Gathering. Firstly, to humiliate the Pill Tower, and secondly, with the Void Devouring Flame's blessing, Mu Gu would have an easier time taking down the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Unfortunately, the people within the clan disagreed. The Void Devouring Flame was too ostentatious and would affect Lord Void Devouring Flame's plans. The Soul Clan would never agree to it.

"Alas~ In just over ten years, the Demon Flame Space will open again! This time, my Soul Clan has made great preparations, and we are determined to obtain the Pure Lotus Demon Flame! Unfortunately, my cultivation has been suppressed to the peak of the four-star Dou Sheng."

With my talent, I can at least reach the level of a six-star Dou Sheng. Why should I follow those old guys who have exhausted their potential?

'

Hun Miesheng muttered to himself that he was the most talented person in the Soul Clan in the past thousand years. If it were for the sake of the Soul Clan's grand plan, he would never have suppressed his cultivation to the peak of the four-star Dou Sheng.

He could break through to the Five-Star Dou Sheng realm at any time if he wanted, but unfortunately, the Imperial Clan's broken rules forbade anyone above the Five-Star Dou Sheng realm to make a move! For the sake of the clan's plans, Hun Miesheng had no choice but to endure it!

"Sigh~"

Hun Miesheng sighed and closed his eyes again, and the entire Heavenly Palace fell silent once more.

In the northern region of Zhongzhou, at the headquarters of the Fenglei Pavilion in the Fenglei Mountains, the East Pavilion said, "Lord Lei, join our Styx Alliance, and you will advance even further! You should have heard of the Starfall Pavilion's medicine..."

The Venerable One has returned, oh, he should now be called the Medicine Saint!

Your Wind and Thunder Pavilion is no longer the head of the four pavilions! I imagine the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan behind you wouldn't easily offend this Medicine Saint.

Lei Zunzhe sat in the main seat, listening to the invitation from the Styx Alliance's Dou Zun below.

"I need to consider this matter. Could we perhaps postpone it a little?" Venerable Lei rubbed his temples, honestly, he really didn't want to get involved in this mess!

Joining the Styx Alliance? To put it nicely, it's an alliance; to put it bluntly, it's an annexation! On the surface, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion seems to wield immense power in the Central Plains!

And he received the title of the head of the Four Directions Pavilion! In fact, this title was given because the Medicine Venerable of the Starfall Pavilion had disappeared, and his Wind and Thunder Pavilion had allied with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. With the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan as his backer, other forces would be more wary of him!

In reality, Lei Zun Zhe knew that his Wind and Thunder Pavilion was nothing special. He himself was a peak three-star Dou Zun, and with his Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body, he could barely compete with a four-star Dou Zun. But how many Dou Zun experts were there in the Central Continent?

There are many who are stronger than Lei Zun Zhe. The Dou Zun who extended the invitation is none other than the Demon Flower Evil Lord of the Tianming Sect, a six-star Dou Zun!

Lei Zun Zhe was certain that if he fought this Demon Flower Evil Lord, he would be defeated within ten rounds!

The Demon Flower Evil Lord chuckled as he played with his fan, "What is Venerable Lei still considering? The Yellow Springs Pavilion, which is on par with your Wind and Thunder Pavilion, has already joined the Styx Alliance."

If I remember correctly, the weakest of your Four Directions Pavilion's leaders, that old man Huang Quan, was only a two-star Dou Zun. Now he is a five-star Dou Zun, even stronger than that old man Feng from the Starfall Pavilion!

Some time ago, he severely injured the Sword Venerable of the Myriad Swords Pavilion with a single palm strike. Who told that old swordsman to refuse the invitation from my Styx Alliance? So, Venerable Lei, what are your thoughts?

Lei Zun Zhe clenched his fists, utterly astonished! How long had it been?! That old fellow Huang Quan Zun Zhe had actually reached the Five-Star Dou Zun level! What the hell was that?!

You know, even the Valley Masters of the Three Valleys are only at this level! The Yellow Springs Pavilion is defying the heavens!

At this moment, Thunder Venerable was torn between heaven and man!

The Demon Flower Evil Lord looked at Lei Venerable with a smile, he didn't believe that the old man Lei Venerable wasn't tempted!

Since the return of the former sect leader, the Netherworld Saint, the status of the Heavenly Netherworld Sect has risen dramatically! It's almost surpassed the Pill Tower!

"Report!!!"
