Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 103 Soul Palace Raid!

Cao Ying experiences feelings of grievance and confusion, increasing her emotion value by 50.

"Young Master Gu Fei, do you harbor such a deep prejudice against this young lady?"

"If you really hate me that much, then I'll leave!"

The coldness in Gu Fei's voice made Cao Ying feel very wronged. She asked herself honestly and realized that she hadn't done anything wrong.

Is that all it takes to annoy him?

"Now that we're here, why hide?"

Gu Fei ignored Cao Ying and instead looked toward a void in the hall.

"Heh, truly worthy of being a prodigy capable of subduing the Three Thousand Blazing Flames..."

As Gu Fei's voice fell, a subtle ripple came from that void, and at the same time, a sinister voice rang out in the hall.

Immediately afterwards, two figures completely shrouded in black robes slowly emerged from the distorted space...

"The people of the Soul Hall really act as darkly as rats..."

Gu Fei stared at the two of them with icy eyes.

"What's going on? Are these people from the Soul Hall?"

"The Soul Hall has actually arrived in Saint Pill City?"

This sudden turn of events caught many people around quite off guard.

"It turns out I misunderstood him!"

Upon seeing the two people, Cao Ying finally understood that Gu Fei's words were actually meant to help her.

He knew there would be danger in the inn, so he told her to leave early.

At this moment, Venerable Tianhuo appeared on the balcony of the inn, his brows furrowed.

"Protect them both!"

Gu Fei transmitted his voice to Venerable Tianhuo.

He understood that the people from the Soul Palace must have been staking out this place for a long time, just waiting for him to return.

Gu Fei wasn't too surprised by these things. After all, most people in the Pill Tower already knew about his mission to subdue the Three Thousand Flames; it wasn't a secret.

Given the Soul Palace's infiltration capabilities, they likely have people all over the Pill Tower.

"You people from the Soul Palace, you've got some nerve! How dare you commit such atrocities in Saint Pill City!"

After Cao Ying realized what was happening, her face filled with anger, she loudly rebuked the two people from the Soul Palace.

"Hehe, I've already set up a soul barrier here. No one will discover what's going on here for a while!"

Upon hearing this, one of the elders spoke in a low voice, "Judging from this person's soul power is not weak, he should have reached the Spirit Realm as well."

Gu Fei had already learned the identities of the two people through the feedback from the emotional value.

One of them was Elder Mu Gu, who shared the same master as Yao Chen.

The other one is the old ghost who picks stars.

One of these two is a three-star Dou Zun and an eighth-grade alchemist, while the other is a five-star Dou Zun.

"You seem to have a lot of confidence in yourself!"

Hearing Elder Mu Gu's confident words, Gu Fei couldn't help but smile faintly.

"I'm confident I can handle a newbie like you!"

"I advise you to hand over the Three Thousand Blazing Flames now, and I might consider sparing your life!"

Elder Mu Gu clearly did not understand the sarcasm in Gu Fei's words and sneered.

"Spare my life? I think you'd better pray for your own good fortune!"

Gu Fei scoffed again.

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive surge of soul power erupted from between his brows, transforming into a sharp soul sword that pierced the soul barrier.

Having undergone soul tempering with the Earth's core essence, Gu Fei's soul power is nearing the late stage of the Spirit Realm.

The soul barrier set up by Elder Mugu was shattered almost without any resistance under the attack of Gu Fei's soul sword.

As the soul barrier shattered, the fluctuations in energy within immediately spread.

[The Elder Mu Gu shows surprise, increasing his emotion value by 20.]

"How is this possible?"

The old man Mu Gu looked on in surprise.

He hadn't expected that Gu Fei's soul power was so strong; their soul barrier was broken before they even made a move.

"The Soul Palace cannot be allowed to run rampant in the territory of the Pill Tower..."

As soon as that voice rang out, the black-robed man's expression changed drastically. He looked up at the sky and said in a hoarse voice, "Xuan Kongzi?"

"Great! The teacher will be here soon. You two Soul Hall lackeys won't be leaving Holy Pill City today!"

Upon hearing this voice, all the worry on Cao Ying's face vanished, and she exclaimed with joy.

"Damn it..."

The old man Mu Gu hovered in mid-air, his sinister gaze fixed on Gu Fei with a ghostly light.

He hadn't expected that despite his caution, he would still be discovered by those old guys in the Dan Tower.

Now that his whereabouts have been tracked, if he stays here any longer, the experts from the Pill Tower will likely arrive.

"Xuan Kongzi, this matter has nothing to do with your Pill Tower, so why are you meddling in other people's business?"

The old ghost who had been silent all along, with a gloomy face, shouted in a sinister voice towards the sky.

"Heh, this is Saint Pill City. If we allow your Soul Hall to run rampant here, how can my Pill Tower explain itself to anyone?"

The ancient voice that had rang out earlier slowly echoed in the sky once more.

The voice came from that void space. Clearly, the speaker had not arrived here in person, but had used a mysterious method to send their aura through the void.

"Old Ghost, let's go!"

Knowing the situation was critical, Elder Mugu decided to leave.

"You think it's so simple—coming and going as you please!"

At this moment, Gu Fei launched his attack. He slammed his palm into the ground, and instantly, a pillar of fire shot out from under Elder Mu Gu's feet.

"It really is a strange fire..."

Sensing the strange power within the pillar of fire, Elder Mu Gu's face showed a hint of joy; he had coveted such a thing for far too long.

He struck out with one palm, and a huge energy crystal claw instantly blocked the pillar of fire.

"Bang!"

Amidst this massive energy surge, Elder Mu Gu staggered back several steps.

His face once again showed a solemn expression.

Clearly, Gu Fei's strength has far exceeded Elder Mu Gu's expectations.

Originally, after receiving some information, he chose to bring Old Ghost Zhaixing along, solely to deal with Venerable Tianhuo, and did not take Gu Fei, this junior, seriously.

It's outrageous that a junior could defeat him with a single move.

"Mu Gu, this kid's got some talent! Keeping him around might be a future problem!"

"It's better to get rid of it sooner rather than later!"

Beside Elder Mu Gu, the Star-Picking Old Ghost, who had not yet made a move, shouted loudly and then stretched out his palm, all five fingers pointing at Gu Fei.

His fingers trembled, and five streams of viscous black mist burst forth from his fingertips.

With a whooshing sound, the black mist condensed into eerie black chains. The chains coiled in mid-air, and with a hiss, they pierced through the void, appearing above Gu Fei's head in the blink of an eye.

The sudden, lightning-fast attack caused Gu Fei's expression to change slightly.

Old Ghost Zhaixing is no trash like Mu Gu. His strength is close to the peak of a five-star Dou Zun. Even Gu Fei has to take him seriously.
