Xiao Yan chatted with ancestor Huo Yun and Yao Chen for a while before leaving the large hall. He had been in a retreat for a couple of years. He missed Tang Huo Er very much after not seeing her for so many years!
Yao Chen and ancestor Huo Yun watched Xiao Yan's back as he left. They looked at each other and smiled in understanding.
… …
After Xiao Yan exited his retreat, he became busy. Yao Chen roamed all over the place and gathered many factions that had a grudge with the Hall of Souls to deal with the Hall of Souls.
The Pill Tower, Burning Flame Valley, Flower Sect, and other large factions joined in one after another. Additionally, Yao Chen's reputation as the top alchemist attracted many individual practitioners to join.
After all …
All of them had some grudges with the Hall of Souls, but the Hall of Souls was too strong. It was impossible for any one of them to be a match for the Hall of Souls. They could only join hands if they wished to fight the Hall of Souls.
In an instant …
The situation in the entire Central Plains was in an uproar. A pressuring feeling covered the entire Central Plains.
The various large factions had joined hands to fight the Hall of Souls, but the Hall of Souls did not show any activity.
There was not even the slightest sound of wind blowing.
This caused the factions in the alliance to feel that something was amiss. Many factions in the Central Plains had also sensed that something was wrong.
It was impossible for the Hall of Souls to not show any activity. However, this was the truth. The Hall of Souls did not show any activity.
This caused the factions in the alliance to feel a little uncertain. However, they did not lower their guard against the Hall of Souls.
The various factions in the Central Plains were aware of such a big movement. It was impossible for the Hall of Souls to be unaware.
The reason why the Hall of Souls did not show any activity was likely because they were plotting something.
Yao Chen did not remain idle after the alliance was successful. The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was about to be born. He needed to prepare the medicinal pill needed to refine the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame for Xiao Yan.
Time.
Time had passed while they were busy.
… …
The Hall of Souls.
The large hall of the Earth Hall.
Hun Bufan sat high on a dark-black throne. The entire hall was dark, strange, and pressuring. It did not match the aura that was being emitted from his body.
This was especially the case when his blue clothes did not match the environment of the large hall.
Hun Bufan rested with his eyes shut. A cluster of black fog gradually formed in the strange large hall.
Soon, they formed a black-robed old man. The old man had a hunched back and was holding a walking stick. He gave people the feeling that he was in his twilight years and was extremely weak.
However, the old man's body was shrouded in a pitch-black fog. His wrinkled face smiled faintly, making him look especially terrifying.
This immediately had nothing to do with the word 'too weak to stand up to a gust of wind', and gave people a feeling of panic.
The old man was a Venerable of Soul Palace. He had joined Soul Palace many years ago.
What was his original name?
He had long forgotten about it.
He knew that his surname was Shi.
Soul Palace's people liked to call him "Senior Shi".
The old man lowered his head, not daring to look at Hun Bufan, who was sitting on the high seat. He said with unusual respect, "Young Hall Master."
"Hmm?"
Hun Bufan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes when he heard the noise. He glanced at the old man below before looking away.
Hun Bufan said faintly, "Elder Shi, is something the matter?"
These short words were filled with domineering aura.
The old man replied respectfully, "Yes …"
Immediately, he did not hesitate to tell Hun Bufan everything that the Falling Star Pavilion had done during this period of time.
When he reached the end, the old man did not forget to add, "Young hall master, that Falling Star Pavilion, Pill Tower, Flower Sect and Burning Flame Valley do not know what is good for them. Since they dare to openly oppose our Hall of Souls, should we dispatch people to eliminate them?"
"Let the various factions and experts in the Central Plains understand that our Soul Palace cannot be humiliated."
After speaking.
The old man stood quietly by the side, waiting for Hun Bufan's reply.
Drip!
Drip!
Drip …
Hun Bufan used his hand to knock on the armrest. It was a long while later before he opened his mouth and said faintly, "Interesting."
"This Falling Star Pavilion is really interesting. It is fine that they openly opposed our Soul Palace in the past. Now, they have even gathered various factions to form an alliance to oppose our Soul Palace. They are really seeking death."
An invisible might erupted from Hun Bufan's body. The 'green flame' in the entire hall swayed at this moment, as though it could be extinguished at any time.
The old man lowered his head even more after sensing the frightening might that was emitted from Hun Bufan.
He did not dare to speak or breathe loudly.
Hun Bufan withdrew the might from his body and said faintly, "There is no need to eliminate them."
"They are merely ants. Even if they are grouped together, it will not change their nature as ants."
"Let them continue to jump around for a few more days!
It will not take long.
This Falling Star Pavilion, Pill Tower, Flower Sect and Burning Flame Valley will no longer be able to jump around. "
"Understood."
"This subordinate will take his leave." The old man said goodbye and left after hearing this. His body gradually turned into a black fog and disappeared from the large hall.
The old man did not understand Hun Bufan's order. However, he did not refute it.
With just him?
He was merely a Dou Zun. It was impossible for him to refute the Junior Hall Master Hun Bufan.
As a subordinate.
All he needed to do was to inform his superiors of what he knew and listen to their arrangements.
Hun Bufan was unconcerned about the departure of the old man. His finger knocked on the armrest as he muttered to himself, "Does this big action of the Falling Star Pavilion mean that Xiao Yan has already recovered?"
"Xiao Yan. A person who can cause Hun Xiu to pay attention to. This chief is quite curious about you."
"I really look forward to meeting you."
… …
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was about to be born. The chief of the Hall of Souls, Hun Miesheng, had gone to the demonic flame realm in advance to guard it.
The authority of the entire Hall of Souls had landed in Hun Bufan's hands. This could be considered a kind of transfer of authority!
It would not take long.
The entire Hall of Souls would be handed over to Hun Bufan to manage. Hun Miesheng would be able to retire after accomplishing his mission.
He would return to the Hun clan to become an Elder.
… …
Time passed slowly.
One month passed.
Nine bright stars slowly moved in front of a countless number of shocked eyes in the starry sky. Finally, they turned into a straight line …
Two moons appearing together, nine stars becoming one, the tide of the world and the demonic flame descending!
The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame had finally descended to the world at this moment!
Bang!
When the nine bright stars in the starry sky formed a straight line, an intense energy ripple immediately rose from the entire world. Immediately, an endless amount of strange fog spread from the empty space. There was actually the faint sound of waves being emitted from the sky.
At this moment.
Everyone in the Central Plains had begun to boil.
Many factions did not hesitate. They hurried to the spot where the demonic flame realm had appeared.
Xiao Yan stood at the top of the Falling Star Pavilion at this moment. He sensed the lingering heat that permeated the air.
He involuntarily sighed, "What a frightening Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. It is able to cause one to feel hot despite being so far away."
"It is indeed worthy of being the Heavenly Flame ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. It is really frightening."
