The Dragon Phoenix Divine Hoop was a top-notch Ancient God weapon. Although it was just an Ancient God weapon famous for its defense, it had a powerful amplification effect on soul power attacks.
How much of this amplification attack could be exerted depended on the strength of its master, Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao knew that Ghost Shadow might have a way to deal with soul power attacks. Thus, he didn't want to reserve any of his soul power. He wanted to strike with all of his power, hoping that it would work in one strike.
Otherwise, the news that he was a Soul Clan member would be spread out. Then, it would be troublesome.
In just a blink of an eye, Ghost Shadow had fled a long distance away.
At this distance, even the Holy Emperor would need two or three days to catch up.
However, to Ling Xiao, this distance was still within his attack range.
The Dragon Phoenix Divine Hoop radiated dazzlingly. Shadows of dragons and phoenixes hovered above Ling Xiao's head. Right after that, an invisible Golden Dragon Spear shot out from the Origin Crystal in the middle of the Dragon Phoenix Divine Hoop.
Although it didn't radiate any light of any attribute, nor did it emit any immense, cold energy, it caught up with Ghost Shadow in just a blink of an eye, directly entering his Sea of Consciousness.
Ghost Shadow had a secret technique that could sense the existence of soul power, so he could react accordingly.
However, the power of this strike was too formidable. It had far surpassed the soul power of a Half Incipient God Realm expert. It had reached the soul power attack of a true supreme expert. When Ghost Shadow sensed it, the Golden Dragon Spear made of soul power had already barged into his Sea of Consciousness, stabbing his God Soul.
Ah!
Gui Ying let out a shrill scream, and his whole body fell from the Ninth Heaven.
At this moment, Ying Ao dashed out, hugged Ghost Shadow's body, and returned to Ling Xiao.
At this moment, Ling Xiao's face was so pale. He looked like he was about to collapse.
It was obvious that the previous strike had consumed a lot of his soul power.
Normally, even if he used all of his power, he wouldn't become like this. However, the Dragon Phoenix Divine Hoop consumed a lot of soul power.
He had used all of his power to urge the Dragon Phoenix Divine Hoop, but it had almost sucked all of his soul power. That was how he could launch such a formidable strike.
He could kill a Half Incipient God Realm expert in just a blink of an eye. How terrifying was his power!
Ling Xiao had reason to believe that even a true Supreme-Being would be seriously injured by this soul power attack that had been amplified.
The might of an Ancient God Artifact could not be underestimated. It had lived up to its reputation as a top-notch Supreme Artifact!
Ling Xiao didn't have time to heal his wounds here. He believed that the news of Ghostly Shadow's death would reach the Dark Shadow Clan soon. He had to leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if he had ten legs, he wouldn't be able to escape if the Supreme Expert came!
Ling Xiao put away Ying Ao and Gui Ying's corpses, then drank the Ghost God Spring and activated his wind attribute, raising his movement technique to the limit, and quickly retreated from this place.
Fortunately, the most powerful person in Demon Soul City was Ghastly Shadow. No one expected that something would happen to him.
When the news reached the Dark Shadow Clan, Ling Xiao had already taken Yun Mengqi, Yurou Fei, and the others to another city through the space formation to leave this dangerous place.
Ghostly Shadow was killed. The entire Dark Shadow Clan was shaken. Instantly, the Demon Soul City became the most tense city. The Dark Shadow Clan had issued a ban. No one was allowed to leave the city.
They had to find the murderer before they would stop.
It should be known that a Half Incipient God Realm expert could be a true Supreme Expert in the future. However, he was killed inexplicably.
They had no choice but to mobilize a large force!
Moreover, another peak Divine King was killed earlier. All of this made them smell the scent of a conspiracy.
The Dark Shadow Clan had even sent a true Supreme Expert to investigate this case.
The Incipient God Realm experts were the strongest existences in the Heaven Territory.
Each of their moves could affect people's hearts.
If they were enraged, corpses would scatter everywhere, and the mountains and rivers would be destroyed.
Thus, the Heaven Territory had an unwritten rule that any Supreme Expert had to go out of the nine skies to fight. Otherwise, once the other Supreme Experts found out, they could join hands with the other Supreme Experts to suppress them.
Of course, if a Supreme Expert wanted to kill someone below the Great Master Realm, it wouldn't happen.
After all, if a Supreme Expert wanted to kill anyone below the Great Master Realm, he didn't need to use much energy to crush them. Of course, it wouldn't cause too much damage to the Heaven Territory.
Sovereigns possessed unfathomable abilities that even Divine Kings could not imagine. One of them was the ability to use their essence blood to reconstruct some remnant images.
What was a residual image?
It was the scene of an event that had happened in a certain place.
With this method, the Supreme Expert could understand everything that had happened in a certain place.
It was also based on the strength of the Supreme Expert. The time it took to restore the scene was different.
Normal Supreme Experts could restore what had happened within ten years. The top Supreme Experts could even restore what had happened within one thousand years.
Of course, it was just a vague feeling. It was impossible to see the original appearance of everything.
After all, this was a deduction that a Supreme Expert used his blood to connect with all things in the world. It consumed a lot of energy.
Under normal circumstances, no Supreme Expert would use this kind of divine ability. Every drop of their blood was the foundation.
But now, near the place where Ling Xiao killed Gui Ying, there was a Supreme Expert of the Dark Shadow Clan using his blood to restore the scene that had happened in the vicinity.
This Supreme Expert was Gui Ying's twin brother. Gui Ying was suddenly killed. How could he not be furious!
He had to use his own blood to find out who the murderer was!
When a drop of his blood essence scattered in the air, a series of blurry images flashed through his mind.
Although his eyes were closed, the killing intent on his body kept rising. It formed an aura that could destroy everything in the surroundings. It twisted the air in this part of the world into nothingness.
If there were any God Kings nearby, they would be turned into mincemeat by this killing intent!
"Bastard!"
This Supreme Martial Artist squeezed out two words from the gaps between his teeth. That majestic and awe-inspiring killing intent was truly frightening.
He didn't continue to stay here. He knew that the murderer had already escaped. He wouldn't be able to find him even if he chased after him now.
He disappeared into the sky. In the next moment, he returned to the Dark Shadow Clan's territory.
Then, another Supreme Expert who was even stronger than him appeared beside him. He faintly said, "Did you find something?"
"Sigh, I didn't expect … I really didn't expect that there would be a traitor in our clan!" The original Supreme Expert sighed.
Then, he told the old chief about the scene he had seen.
"What? You … You're saying that Ying Ao kid is an accomplice!" The old chief of the Dark Shadow Clan exclaimed.
"I'm not wrong. However … I suspect that he has been controlled by someone. That kind of descendant has reappeared!" the Supreme Expert replied.
"Which kind?" The old chief of the Dark Shadow Clan hadn't reacted yet.
Then, he seemed to think of something. His pupils slightly shrank as he said, "The Soul Clan?"
"That's right. The Dragon Phoenix Magic Hoop in the clan's records has reappeared. It was because that thief wore that magic hoop that he killed Xiao Qi!" the Supreme Expert replied.
The others called the divine hoop that Ling Xiao wore the Dragon Phoenix Divine Hoop. However, in the eyes of the enemies of the Soul Clan, it was also called the Dragon Phoenix Magic Hoop!
"Weren't they annihilated?
Did they leave behind an orphan? "
The old chief of the Dark Shadow Clan had a solemn expression. After pondering for a while, he said, "It seems that the continuous attacks weren't a coincidence. He wants to attack our Dark Shadow Clan. However … he only dared to ambush us. It seems that he is alone. Or perhaps he has just obtained that person's inheritance. He doesn't have any other helpers. As long as we can find him, we can immediately eliminate him. We won't leave any future troubles!"
"I think so too. However, you know that clan is cunning. Ordinary people can't deal with him. We have to think about this carefully!" the Supreme Expert said.
The old chief of the Dark Shadow Clan nodded. A thick murderous light flashed in his eyes as he said, "Seems like we need to let the others help us. It wasn't just our clan that attacked them that year!"
"No … I think we should solve this ourselves. That Magic Hoop is a top treasure!"
Of course, Ling Xiao didn't know that because he wanted to solve this matter quickly, he had revealed his identity. That had brought him a great disaster!
At this moment, he had left Demon Soul City and was heading towards the Shu Family's city, the Shu Family City.
He had come to the Shu Family City to support his teacher.
The Shu Family was an alchemist family, but they only had one Divine Alchemist. However, there were many Saint Alchemists in their family.
Because of this, they were one of the biggest subsidiary forces of the Sword Cleansing Manor. They had a small reputation in the Sky Dragon Domain. They were definitely not weaker than the Snake Righteous Sect that Ling Xiao had destroyed. In fact, they were even more famous.
At that time, the Evil Emperor and Ling Xiao had parted ways. The Evil Emperor had brought Shu Ziqian and Feng Qingyuan to the Shu Family's territory to solve the problem between him and Shu Ziqian.
The Evil Emperor didn't want Shu Ziqian to have any regrets and follow him.
However, who knew that after they returned, they would be placed under house arrest by the Shu Family.
The Evil Emperor was instantly enraged. He wanted to bring the two women and force their way out. However, the Shu Clan seemed to be determined to make them stay. They even asked the Shu Clan's Old Ancestor to make an appearance and make them stay.
As for the people from the Dragon Gate, they weren't troubled by the Shu Family. They could leave at any time.
Their duty was to protect the Evil Emperor and the others. Now that the Evil Emperor and the others were under house arrest, they naturally didn't dare to leave.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao suddenly changed his schedule and went to the Shu Family City. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known that his teacher and teacher's wife were in this situation.
Of course, Ling Xiao didn't know about this when he arrived at the Shu Family City.
It was only when he met the few followers of the Dragon Gate in the Shu Family City that he found out about this.
"Peak Lord, I heard that the people from the Sword Cleansing Manor had arrived here yesterday. I'm afraid that the Evil Emperor and the others are in a bad situation!" A branch elder of the Kim people, Ling Zhong, reported.
Ling Xiao immediately revealed an angry expression after hearing this. "It seems like the Shu Family really thinks that they are some ancient family. They even dare to place my teacher and teacher's wife under house arrest!"
