With the Nether Dragon Soul Headband, Xiang Shaoyun’s soul was effectively invincible. Furthermore, he had a filthless soul and a solid soul body that possessed a formidable combat strength. In the Nether Soul Domain, he was like a fish back in water. He held the complete upper hand over the overseers. They were unable to pose him any sort of threat.
As if to add salt to the wound, the ghostrunes kept harassing the overseers. Endless chains were still shooting toward them from all directions. The suppression of the overseers never stopped.
If they could actually use their soul foundations, it wouldn’t be so easy for Xiang Shaoyun to defeat them. But in this situation, taking their soul foundations out only meant more trouble. The ghostrunes were eagerly waiting to the side, greatly restricting the options available to them. Thus, the more they fought, the gloomier they felt.
“Xiang Shaoyun, if you continue keeping me here, I’ll die with you!” threatened one of the overseers even while he was attacking Xiang Shaoyun with his black spear.
He ignited his blood essence, pushing his combat strength to an even higher level. Each stab of his spear was accompanied by an incredible power. He was actually using a forbidden technique. It was obvious he was getting really desperate.
Xiang Shaoyun ignored all the attacks and descended upon the overseer like a storm. Kick after kick was unleashed at the overseer from numerous unexpected angles, leaving wounds all over his body. Eventually, the overseer’s spear was dragged away from the chains. Without his spear, he was akin to a toothless tiger.
“Even if I die, you’ll die with me!” said the overseer, deciding to throw all caution to the wind. He was planning to explode his soul foundation to kill both himself and Xiang Shaoyun.
“This isn’t bad. Gui Qi, you guys stop him!” commanded Xiang Shaoyun the moment he sensed what the overseer was trying to do.
The five ghostrunes attacked together, charging the overseer’s mind repeatedly to assault his soul, interrupting his attempts at detonating his soul foundation.
Xiang Shaoyun accurately grabbed the momentary distraction and arrived before the overseer to attack with all his strength. A terrifying fist shot out, shining dazzlingly like a brilliant golden star and punched through the overseer’s head.
By this point, the two remaining overseers were scared out of their wits. They used their final trump cards, hoping that they could at least keep their lives. One of them took out a broken saint weapon. He nearly pierced through the Nether Soul Domain’s border, but with a casual swing of Xiang Shaoyun’s Radiant Saint Sword, he was beheaded.
In this domain, Xiang Shaoyun was basically a god. He could appear anywhere with a single thought. And with him using even his saint sword, none of the overseers could hope to stop him. The final remaining overseer couldn’t escape either. With the constant interference from the five ghostrunes, he couldn’t even detonate himself and was killed mercilessly.
The room Xiang Shaoyun was locked in was in Situ Mingyu’s backyard. His thick murderous intent and the dense devilish aura did not spread outside the room thanks to the formations in place, but as a previous generation elder, Situ Mingyu was incredibly powerful. Both he and Mo Luo could sense the appearance of a different aura.
“This is bad. Something happened in the room!” Situ Mingyu exclaimed as he rushed toward the room.
Mo Luo followed him, and the two arrived outside instantly. They looked toward the same direction and could sense the vague existence of a devil. When their senses swept over, their faces shifted.
“That kid has made his move. Let’s go!” Situ Mingyu said as he rushed toward the hill at the back of his villa.
Naturally, Mo Luo tagged along with him. That hill was the place Situ Mingyu usually secluded himself in cultivation, and it was also where the secret room was located. It was not a place others could easily approach.
The two were Heaven Battling Realm experts. When they moved, it was as though they teleported. In the blink of an eye, they arrived before the secret room.
Apart from them, many elders in the elders’ residential district also sensed something happening. They were all individuals of extraordinary strength. Nothing could escape their senses.
“Where is this devilish aura coming from? It’s actually within one of the elder villas? Has an elder subdued a devil slave?”
“This devilish aura isn’t too thick, and it is incredibly pure. It seems to be coming from Old Situ’s place. This seems weird.”
The elders muttered among themselves, but none of them tried doing anything. They wouldn’t make a fuss just because they had sensed a little devilish aura. After all, they were people who had experienced many things and would not be easily alarmed.
On the other hand, when Xiao Wei sensed the aura, he exclaimed, “Fifth elder, there’s devilish aura there! It might be something released by Xiang Shaoyun!”
Zhang Wujing had just left Mo Luo’s place. They failed to locate Mo Luo and were on their way back. When he heard Xiao Wei’s words, he asked in astonishment, “That kid is really a devil?”
“I can guarantee he is human. He had once entered the Devil Domain, so maybe he had consumed some devil blood there. It’s not like no humans have done that before in order to obtain a devil’s special ability,” said Xiao Wei confidently.
In fact, he was the one who had personally recruited Xiang Shaoyun at the Devil Domain. He would naturally speak for Xiang Shaoyun.
“Ok. Let’s go. I can sense Mo Luo and Situ Mingyu’s auras as well,” said the fifth elder. He increased his pace and rushed over, with Xiao Wei following closely behind him.
At this time, Situ Mingyu had just blasted the secret room’s door apart. He and Mo Luo both strode inside. When Situ Mingyu entered and saw the corpses on the ground, his eyes widened in anger. Thick killing intent surged out of him as he roared, “Bastard, you dare kill my granddaughter? I’ll kill you!”
Xiang Shaoyun was the only survivor in the room, so the murderer could only be him. Situ Mingyu had not expected that a moment of negligence would result in something like this. He wished for nothing more than to tear Xiang Shaoyun apart.
Just as Situ Mingyu was about to kill Xiang Shaoyun, Mo Luo said, “Brother Situ, don’t ruin his body. This is a nine-star physique. It will be a good material to make a clone with.”
“You’re right. I will pluck his soul out and leave an empty body behind,” said Situ Mingyu as his arm reached for Xiang Shaoyun.
Xiang Shaoyun had just finished killing Situ Yan and the overseers before breaking free from the torture rack. He hadn’t gotten the chance to escape, and he was completely helpless before Situ Mingyu. He was easily captured again.
Just as Situ Mingyu was about to pull Xiang Shaoyun’s soul out, Xiao Wei’s voice rang out, “Elder Situ and Elder Mo Luo, please stay your hands.”
