As soon as his voice fell, Yun Shan swung his sword.
A mighty sword qi soared into the sky, suppressing the Guardian of the Soul Hall like a mountain collapse and a tsunami.
Under the pressure of this sword qi, the surrounding palaces disintegrated inch by inch under the sword qi raging in the air.
On the ground, cracks burst open, instantly covering the entire palace like a spider web.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the entire palace collapsed.
Amidst the swirling dust, a brilliant azure light shone, captivating all eyes.
"No..."
"No!"
The expression on the Guardian of the Soul Hall's face suddenly froze; upon closer inspection, his pupils were filled with shock and disbelief.
It was as if he wanted to say, how could the Sect Master of a small Sect in such a remote corner possess such combat power?
Without time to think, the Guardian of the Soul Hall let out a sharp cry.
In the nick of time, he frantically changed his hand seals with both palms, and hundreds of dark chains instantly shot out from his body, with rolling black mist spreading, and a chilling aura like a surging river.
"Senluo Soul Locking Array, break for me!"
Hundreds of chains shot out simultaneously, blasting towards that brilliant azure light.
Boom—
The hundreds of chains and the brilliant azure light collided violently; at the moment of impact, a terrifying ripple erupted from the center of the collision.
An earth-shattering pressure instantly swept out in all directions, instantly enveloping the entire Yunlan Mountain.
The reverberating aftershocks caused the entire Empire's capital to tremble.
In the Empire's capital, powerhouses from various factions looked in the direction of the Yunlan Sect.
"This commotion… it's a Dou Zong battle!"
"What terrifying pressure! Even tens of miles away, the transmitted fluctuations still give me a sense of dread."
Imperial City.
Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes, muttering, "The one fighting is Yun Shan; who is he fighting?"
"Who is so tactless as to dare to fight in the Yunlan Sect?"
Yunlan Sect.
Xiao Yan looked at the Sect's main hall in the distance, his face filled with longing.
"Alas, I wonder when I will be able to possess such strength."
Beside him, Yao Lao's illusory figure floated in mid-air, gazing towards the direction of the Yunlan Sect's main hall in the distance.
That place had now become a ruin under the impact of the great battle, with dust filling the sky.
However, Yao Lao's attention was not on this great battle.
Such a battle might seem extremely exciting to Xiao Yan.
But to him, it was merely commonplace; he had experienced battles several times more tragic than this.
What truly made Yao Lao feel solemn was that he saw the shadow of the Hall of Souls in this great battle.
Hall of Souls!
How could a Guardian of the Soul Hall appear in the Yunlan Sect?
As soon as he thought of the Hall of Souls, a look of hatred flashed in Yao Lao's eyes.
On the other side.
In mid-air, Qi Lin and the women watched the battle below with great interest, as if watching a movie.
"Splendid!"
"Sister Yun Yun, your teacher is truly amazing; he completely overwhelmed his opponent."
The women said, smiling.
Qi Lin also clapped his hands with a smile; his opponents were often directly killed by a single strike from him, so situations like Yun Shan going back and forth with an opponent had never happened to him, which made watching this quite exciting for him.
Compared to the anticlimactic three-year agreement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, the battle between Yun Shan and the Guardian of the Soul Hall was truly spectacular.
Moreover, when Yun Shan was on a winning streak, he truly showed off with an air of effortless mastery.
It was quite interesting to watch... Just as everyone was discussing, the great battle between Yun Shan and the Guardian of the Soul Hall at the ruins of the Sect's main hall also came to an end with an earth-shattering roar.
The ground shook, and a huge gully was carved into the earth by Yun Shan's sword.
And in the gully, the Guardian of the Soul Hall lay on his back, his black robe tattered and his body in disarray, covered in long sword marks, with blood staining him crimson.
At this moment, this Guardian of the Soul Hall also revealed his true face: a gaunt man who appeared to be over fifty years old.
He was clearly lifeless now, killed by Yun Shan's single strike.
However, Yun Shan knew that the people of the Hall of Souls were highly skilled in spirit power, so at the moment he killed the Guardian of the Soul Hall, he raised his hand and grabbed.
An illusory, transparent soul body was instantly seized in his hand.
"Damn it, let go of this Guardian!"
The Guardian of the Soul Hall's soul body struggled frantically.
Yun Shan snorted coldly and said, "Speaking of which, it's a cycle of karma; the Hall of Souls wantonly hunts soul bodies on the continent, but now your soul has fallen into my hands."
Fear flashed in the Guardian of the Soul Hall's eyes, but he outwardly blustered, "I am a Guardian of the Soul Hall, how dare you touch me?"
Yun Shan scoffed.
"Why wouldn't I dare!"
Seeing this, the Guardian of the Soul Hall's eyes flashed with disbelief, then he said, "You are merely a native from a remote corner; how could you know the power of the Hall of Souls?"
"If you truly understood the Hall of Souls, you wouldn't say such foolish words."
The Guardian of the Soul Hall tried to intimidate Yun Shan, to make him wary of the Hall of Souls, so as to gain a glimmer of hope for himself.
However, Yun Shan merely sneered after listening.
No matter how strong the Hall of Souls was, could there be an existence stronger than the Saintly Sky Conqueror?
Could it be that even Young Friend Qi Lin could not be provoked?
Although Yun Shan was not clear about Young Friend Qi Lin's exact strength, being able to befriend the Saintly Sky Conqueror as an equal meant his strength was absolutely unfathomable.
Just then, Qi Lin and the women also walked over from the distance.
"Young Friend Qi Lin, I am truly sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment."
Qi Lin waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, no, no, the battle just now was very exciting to us."
Upon hearing this, Yun Shan's expression remained calm and composed, but a hint of self-satisfaction flickered in his eyes.
He quickly said humbly, "Young Friend, you flatter me; my humble skills are but trivial tricks in your eyes. With your abilities, perhaps just a glance would be enough to kill this Guardian of the Soul Hall."
After some pleasantries, Yun Shan interrogated the Guardian of the Soul Hall in front of everyone, easily obtaining all the information the latter knew.
This person was named Guardian Tie, originally responsible for collecting souls in the Chu Yun Empire area, until he returned to the sub-hall some time ago to hand over souls, and then learned the news of Protector Wu's disappearance in the Gama Empire area.
In the Hall of Souls, there was also a system of tasks and contributions.
Therefore, Guardian Tie accepted the task of going to the Gama Empire to investigate the hidden reasons behind Protector Wu's disappearance.
He had initially thought that the Gama Empire's overall strength was even weaker than the Chu Yun Empire, and as long as he acted carefully, he would most likely be fine.
But Guardian Tie never expected that as soon as he traced Protector Wu's last whereabouts to the Yunlan Sect, he would suffer a huge setback within the Yunlan Sect itself, and find himself in grave danger.
