Chapter 310: Soul Palace Takes Action

Once Xiao Ling had the idea of seizing the method to practice the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies in his mind, his brain began to work rapidly, thinking about the best plan of action.

With his current strength, dealing with an eight-star Dou Zong expert like Fei Tian should be a piece of cake.

If Fei Tian died unexpectedly in Tianbei City, there is no doubt that everyone's attention would be focused on Xiao Ling first. As an eighth-grade alchemist, and having a puppet that can resist eighth-grade pill thunder, such a combination is indeed too eye-catching, and it is hard not to arouse suspicion.

However, Xiao Ling did not intend to make enemies for no reason. At present, it was the most ideal situation to avoid conflict with Fenglei Pavilion.

Although he was not afraid of forces like the Fenglei Pavilion, it was hard to say whether the Thunder Venerable, a mere three-star Dou Zun, could defeat the Skyfire Venerable, but Xiao Ling did not want to make trouble out of nothing and bring himself unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Xiao Ling had already started to conceive a plan in his mind, a plan that would allow him to obtain the method of practicing the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body without arousing suspicion.

As he was thinking in his mind, a brilliant plan quickly flashed through Xiao Ling's mind. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a smug smile.

In Xiao Ling's opinion, if he could command the soul body in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, disguise it as the guardian of the Soul Palace, and assassinate Fei Tian, then the plan would be perfect.

Once he succeeds, he will be able to take the cultivation method of the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Bodies from Fei Tian.

"Leave a few people alive during the operation, so that they can witness the Soul Palace's actions with their own eyes." He continued to think, "In this way, the greatest suspicion will naturally fall on the Soul Palace, and the more muddy the water, the better. Maybe Fenglei Pavilion will have a grudge against the Soul Palace because of this. Although the Soul Palace may not take Fenglei Pavilion seriously at all, why not give them a little trouble?"

Xiao Ling became more and more confident in the feasibility of this plan. He believed that as long as it was done properly, he would not only be able to obtain the cultivation method he had always dreamed of, but also be able to cleverly create some trouble for the Soul Palace.

After having a preliminary plan, the next step was to take action. Afterwards, Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly and took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner from the system space.

As soon as this flag appeared, the air around it seemed to vibrate, emitting an indescribable strange aura.

As Xiao Ling's mind moved, ten Dou Zong-level souls responded to the call, led by none other than the old demon ghost who was once feared in the Black Horn Region.

Under Xiao Ling's careful cultivation, the soul body of the old demon has reached the peak of Dou Zong. With time, breaking through to the Dou Zun realm is just around the corner.

The other nine souls were all Dou Zong masters, and their strength should not be underestimated. The strongest among them reached the level of Dou Zong Seven Stars, and the weakest was also at the level of Three Stars Dou Zong. If these ten masters joined forces to deal with Fei Tian, an Eight Star Dou Zong, it would be a piece of cake.

As soon as these souls appeared, the air around them seemed to become colder, their eyes flashed with scarlet light, revealing a chilling aura. Then, they all knelt on one knee, facing Xiao Ling, waiting for his instructions.

Looking at the ten souls in front of him, Xiao Ling nodded with satisfaction. These souls were the result of his careful cultivation.

Whenever there were things that needed to be handled secretly, he could always send these capable subordinates to take action, and he could also cleverly shift the suspicion to the Soul Palace afterwards.

He casually took out ten black robes worn by the Soul Palace guardians and handed them to the souls one by one, motioning them to put them on.

After these soul bodies put on the black robes representing the Soul Palace, Xiao Ling looked at them again and found that their temperament was indeed somewhat similar to that of the people in the Soul Palace.

These souls transformed by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner have a gloomy aura, which coincides with the temperament of the Soul Palace. Now with the iconic black robe, they are just like the real Soul Palace guardians.

"Earth Demon, take the others and deal with the guy named Fei Tian down there later." Xiao Ling gave the order. Although his voice was calm, there was a hint of excitement.
"You can make a bigger move to ensure that everyone in the Hong family will notice it. As for other ordinary people who are not related, just ignore them."

He paused for a moment, as if remembering something, and continued, "Remember, before you attack, you must declare yourself to be the Soul Palace's guardian. Earth Demon, you can just call yourself the Soul Palace's guardian 'Hundan'. When you attack, you must use the Soul Palace's fighting skills. Also, before you attack, remember to laugh a few times to create that atmosphere."

After listening to Xiao Ling's instructions, the old demon and the other souls nodded to show their understanding. These souls all had independent consciousness, and after hearing Xiao Ling's instructions, they also knew what to do next.

Then, the old demon and the other nine souls turned into ten black streams of light, spreading silently and surrounding the reception room where Fei Tian and the other two were. Their movements were swift and precise, like a large black net, covering the entire reception room in a shadow.

Xiao Ling stood in the air, skillfully concealing his aura, like a bystander hidden in the night, quietly looking down at the situation below. His eyes revealed a hint of anticipation, waiting for the show to begin.

……

Hong family, in the reception room.

"Master Fei Tian, our Hong family has collected a lot of precious gifts recently. When you go to visit that eighth-grade alchemist, could you allow me to accompany you?" Hong Tianxiao said with a hint of smile, his tone somewhat tentative.

As soon as Fei Tian heard this, he understood what Hong Tianxiao was planning. He wanted to make himself familiar to the eighth-grade alchemist, and maybe win some favor from him. Fei Tian didn't care about this little trick.

He nodded slightly and responded calmly, "Since you have this wish, it's okay to take you there..."

As soon as Fei Tian finished speaking, he suddenly stopped talking, and his originally lazy eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he felt something.

Fei Tian's aura spread unconsciously, and the atmosphere in the entire reception room seemed to be pulled by this powerful momentum and suddenly became tense.

Hong Tianxiao, as a Dou Zong-level warrior, felt a little depressed by Fei Tian's majestic aura, but he could still hold on. On the other hand, Hong Chen, who was only a Dou Wang, turned pale in an instant, and even breathing became difficult.

Before they could figure out why Fei Tian suddenly reacted like that, the door to the reception room suddenly made a loud noise and was smashed open by a huge force. The door panel instantly turned into pieces, and smoke and dust rose up, which immediately attracted the attention of the three people.

Immediately afterwards, three dark shadows appeared in sight. Their appearance brought with it a gloomy atmosphere, as if even the air had dropped several degrees.

The three figures were dressed in black robes, their faces were hard to discern in the darkness, but their cold murderous intent was undisguised. Fei Tian and Hong Tianxiao immediately realized that the newcomers had bad intentions.

Fei Tian frowned, his eyes fixed on the three uninvited guests. They were dressed in black robes and exuded a disturbing aura. He immediately realized that these people were not simple.

This strange aura and these special clothes immediately made Fei Tian think of the origins of these people.

"You are from the Soul Palace." Fei Tian's voice was low and carried a hint of vigilance.

Soul Palace, this name is known to everyone in Zhongzhou. As the most powerful and strange force in Zhongzhou, even a force like Fenglei Pavilion is unwilling to easily provoke Soul Palace.

Fei Tian could feel that the auras of these three people were all above five-star Dou Zong, especially the leader, whose strength was almost as good as his.

Moreover, he also noticed that there were several Dou Zong-level auras outside the reception room, secretly watching him. If he really wanted to take action, he might be in danger of losing his life this time.

“Hehehe, Fenglei North Pavilion Master Fei Tian really has good eyesight.” The old demon’s voice was hoarse and sinister. “Your soul is of good quality. Once this guardian takes your soul, this year’s performance will be considered complete.”

Hearing this, Fei Tian's heart tightened. He didn't expect that the people from the Soul Palace were coming for his soul.

"There has never been any grudge between my Fenglei Pavilion and the Soul Palace. I wonder why you are targeting me?" Fei Tian tried to communicate with the other party and find a breakthrough to solve the problem.

"This guardian is causing trouble for you, not just for your soul body." The old demon's voice was a little teasing, and he said slowly, "We in the Soul Palace don't want to offend the Wind and Thunder Pavilion for no reason. However, the Soul Palace's venerables are very interested in the practice method of the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body."

“Hehehe, when you were in Fenglei North Pavilion, this guardian might not have been able to do anything to you.” The old demon continued, with a bit of pride in his tone, “But you actually dared to leave alone. How could this guardian miss such an opportunity?”

As soon as the old demon finished speaking, he did not hesitate to act. He shouted in a low voice, "Three-stage soul lock!"

As he shouted, a series of chains clattered and clattered, and several strange black chains rushed towards Fei Tian and the other two like poisonous snakes. Fei Tian reacted quickly, and he pushed his hands hard. A powerful thunder and lightning fighting spirit gushed out from his palms and collided fiercely with the chains. The explosion of fighting spirit produced a strong air wave, which shook the entire reception room slightly.

Hong Tianxiao was also experienced and managed to dodge it, but Hong Chen on the side was only at the Dou Wang level of strength. Facing such a sudden attack, he had nowhere to hide.

The chains pierced through his body, and then a black light flashed, and a soul that looked exactly like Hong Chen was pulled out of the body. The old demon waved his sleeves, and the soul was directly sucked into his sleeves.

When Hong Tianxiao saw Hong Chen being killed on the spot and his soul being extracted, he felt angry and frightened. Such a situation was simply not something he could handle.

He turned to Fei Tian and asked in a trembling voice: "Master Fei Tian, what should we do now?"

Fei Tian ignored Hong Tianxiao and said coldly to the old demon: "I don't have the cultivation method of the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body on me. Even if you kill me, you can't get it."

“Hehehe, wait until this protector brings your soul body back to the Soul Palace and tortures you in every way. Then you will naturally ask for the method of cultivation.” The old demon laughed weirdly.

As he spoke, the old demon threw out a few black chains and headed straight for Fei Tian and Hong Tianxiao.

The two souls beside him were not idle either. Their fighting spirit quickly condensed into two sharp sickles, following the chains, and launched a fierce attack on Fei Tian.

Faced with this sudden attack, Fei Tian and Hong Tianxiao had no choice but to fight back.

Facing the attack of the old demon, Fei Tian was anxious, but with his rich combat experience, he knew that he could not just sit there and wait for death.

He took a deep breath and mobilized all his fighting spirit. Under the urging of fighting spirit, layers of lightning and thunder spread over Fei Tian's body. Even his silver pupils flashed a hint of gold.

"Three thousand thunders!" Fei Tian shouted in a low voice, and his body suddenly became blurred, as if it had turned into shadows of lightning, the speed was so fast that it was dazzling.

Although the chains of the old demon were swift, Fei Tian's figure shuttled between the chains like lightning, narrowly avoiding the attacks every time.

At the same time, Fei Tian quickly formed seals with his hands, and a powerful force of thunder and lightning gathered in his hands.

"The Thunder God is coming!" Fei Tian's voice echoed in the reception room like thunder. His body was wrapped in a layer of lightning. His strength instantly skyrocketed and reached the level of a nine-star Dou Zong.

Seeing this, Hong Tianxiao was delighted. He knew that Fei Tian was going to fight to the death. He did not dare to neglect it and immediately used his fighting skills to assist Fei Tian.

"Mysterious Killing Finger!" Hong Tianxiao shouted, and his fingers shot out wind blades like sharp swords. These wind blades rotated in the air, making shrill screams, and cut towards the old demon and the two soul bodies.

When the old demon saw Fei Tian perform "The Coming of Thundergod", a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he sneered. His body turned into a black light and avoided Hong Tianxiao's "Mysterious Killing Finger".

Although Hong Tianxiao's attack was fierce, one of the soul bodies swung a sickle and directly broke the wind blade.

Another soul came forward and slashed at Hong Tianxiao with its sickle, directly piercing through him. The wall of the reception room was also chopped down, and the entire reception room began to collapse.

Hong Tianxiao was beaten back and kept some distance from Fei Tian. He took a look at Fei Tian's embarrassed look and without hesitation, he flashed and fled into the distance.

The strength of these people is beyond his ability to deal with. If he stays, he will definitely die. He doesn't want to stay here and have his soul extracted. As for the Hong family, he is also powerless to do anything.

The souls lying in ambush around saw Hong Tianxiao flying backwards and wanted to intercept him, but Xiao Ling stopped them.

"Let him go." Xiao Ling's voice rang out in the soul body's heart, "Go and help the Earth Demons besiege Fei Tian, don't waste time."

Hong Xiaotian had been badly injured by the sickle of the soul body before. If it weren't for the magical medicine like the seventh-grade life-restoring pill, it would not be so easy for him to recover from his injuries.

However, it's also good to let him escape back like this, bring a message to Fenglei Pavilion, stir up the waters, and make the situation more chaotic.

Following Xiao Ling's order, those soul bodies immediately used their respective unique skills and launched a fierce attack on Fei Tian.

The roar of the battle was deafening, and naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the Hong family. Even the strong men around were attracted by the noise.

Hong Li, the head of the Hong family, sensed something unusual here and immediately spread his fighting spirit wings and hurried over.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, he witnessed his father being horribly hacked by a sickle. Just as he was about to rush forward to fight, a black shadow flashed by, and a black bracelet pierced through his body. Then his soul was pulled out, and his body fell straight to the ground.

The other members of the Hong family and the elders were horrified when they saw this scene. They dared not approach the battlefield again. Some of the powerful worshippers of the Hong family had already begun to flee when they saw that the situation was not good.

The members of the Hong family, faced with this sudden disaster, could only cry out in despair, "This is such an unexpected disaster! God wants to destroy our Hong family."

The scene was chaotic for a while. In the Hong family's yard, screams, cries, and the sounds of fleeing footsteps could be heard one after another. The entire Hong family fell into panic.

In the battlefield, facing the siege of three Dou Zong-level souls, Fei Tian could only hold on. Seeing seven Dou Zong-level souls suddenly appear, he cursed the Soul Palace in his heart a million times.

Fei Tian knew that now he had no choice but to fight to the death. He took a deep breath and the fighting spirit in his body circulated wildly.

"Three thousand thunder phantom bodies!" There was a hint of determination in Fei Tian's voice. His body suddenly split into a thunder shadow phantom body. The strength of this phantom body reached the level of six-star Dou Zong. As soon as it appeared, it pounced towards the old demon.

The clone looks identical to Fei Tian's original body, with lightning flashing in his eyes and an astonishing aura.

The old demon and other soul bodies did not dare to underestimate them and used their fighting skills to resist.

The battle broke out again, lightning flashed, and an eerie black aura filled the entire reception room. The energy fluctuated violently, as if even the space was shaking.

After several rounds, Fei Tian's original body and clones fought with the old demon and those soul bodies, and the scene was extremely intense.

"Boom!" Thunder and lightning collided with black air, making a deafening roar.

"Hehehe, Fei Tian, your Thunder Body is indeed great, but you can't escape death today!" The old demon laughed, and suddenly a bigger black chain appeared in his hand, with a strange black light flashing on the chain.

Fei Tian's real body kept dodging in the battle, but the chains of the old demon seemed to have life, locking him tightly.

However, the difference in numbers between the two sides was too great, and Fei Tian soon could not hold on. In a fierce confrontation, the old demon took advantage of the opportunity and pierced Fei Tian's body with chains.

“Puff!” Fei Tian spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale in an instant, and his body was about to fall. “Soul Palace, you deserve to die!”

Under Fei Tian's unwilling look, the old demon smiled coldly, shook the black chain in his hand again, and directly pulled Fei Tian's soul out of his body.

The soul struggled for a few times in the air, and then the old demon waved his hand and put it into his sleeve.

Afterwards, the old demon took Fei Tian's body without stopping, and with a flash, he left the chaotic battlefield with the other souls.
