Chapter 629: Sweeping Victory!

Chapter 629: Sweeping Victory!

Within the Dan League, aside from Xiao Ze's group including Xiao Ze himself, Medusa, Zi Yan, and the powerful members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan there are very few who are above three star Dou Saints. After all, apart from ancient races and powerful magical beast families, the number of high star Dou Saints is quite limited. Nowadays, high star Dou Saints on the Dou Qi Continent mostly come from these two groups. High star Dou Saints outside of these groups are extremely rare, unless one possesses exceptional talent or encounters a phenomenal opportunity.

For instance, talents like Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, or those like the Old Man Shen Nong who obtained the Flame of Life. Possessing vast vitality, they could also stimulate numerous medicinal ingredients. Relying on their long lifespans and countless heavenly materials and treasures, they have elevated themselves to the level of six star Dou Saints!

Therefore, within the Dan League, the number of three star Dou Saints is also extremely rare; at least, those interested in competing now are all below three star Dou Saints.

"Is there anyone else who wishes to try and compete for the qualification to refine Jing Lian Demon Fire?" Xiao Ze looked around at the members of the Dan League. Seeing no response, he nodded.

"If that's the case, then the five of you may compete by your own methods, and see who can convince the other four!"

Xiao Ze smiled and addressed the five, including Xiao Yan.

"Lord Xiao Ze, aren't you going to set the rules?" someone asked.

"Fight until a clear advantage is shown, no need to take lives. Although the heavenly treasures belong to the capable, we are all members of the Dan League, and it's best not to fight to the death."

After thinking it over, Xiao Ze said, "As for how you want to compete, that's up to you. I won't get involved."

Hearing this, the five nodded. If Xiao Ze were to set the rules, it might be difficult to ensure they wouldn't favor Xiao Yan. Thus, Xiao Ze threw the issue back to them to resolve themselves, while he attended to other matters.

"The matter of Jing Lian Demon Fire is concluded; you may all return," Xiao Ze announced. The crowd, whether sighing or nodding in agreement, dared not oppose. After all, Xiao Ze's previously demonstrated strength was enough to make them willingly abandon any thoughts of competing for Jing Lian Demon Fire.

Xiao Ze waved his sleeve, and a spatial passage appeared between heaven and earth.

"Enter this passage, and you will return to Zhongzhou. Please, go ahead."

Seeing Xiao Ze standing aside with his hands behind his back, everyone sighed in relief and hurried towards the spatial passage. As figures within the thunder domain entered the passage, those outside also tried to approach it.

These were individuals who had previously been hostile to the Dan League but had not had substantial conflicts with Xiao Ze. They thought of paying some price to persuade Xiao Ze to let them leave.

Xiao Ze, not one to turn down heavenly treasures offered right to his doorstep, allowed them to depart. As for those who had truly been hostile to the Dan League and caused significant damage, once they left the demon fire space, Xiao Ze would lead the Dan League to settle scores directly with their powers!

Two figures came to the entrance of the spatial passage and stopped to bow to Xiao Ze before entering. However, as the next person tried to follow suit, Xiao Ze suddenly stopped him, a subtle smile on his face.

"You can't leave!"

"Why?" the seemingly ordinary old man said in a deep voice, hiding a trace of panic in his eyes.

The remaining powerhouses looked curiously at Xiao Ze. Everyone else who had bowed had been allowed to leave smoothly, but this person was stopped.

They wondered what Xiao Ze was planning. Had he changed his mind halfway? But recalling Xiao Ze's previous actions, they dismissed this idea.

Their attention turned to the ordinary looking old man, curious about what was so special about him that Xiao Ze personally intervened to stop him.

"Are you still going to pretend? I said before, none of you could escape!" Xiao Ze's words reminded everyone that he had only spoken such harsh words to one group before the Soul Clan!

Could it be that this ordinary looking old man was a member of the Soul Clan?

Panic flashed in the old man's eyes, but he retorted fiercely, "Just because you say I'm from the Soul Clan, does that make it true? Without proof, you can't just stop someone and prevent them from leaving."

After speaking, the old man looked to the others for support, "What would you think if this were happening to you?"

However, the others merely rolled their eyes inwardly. Xiao Ze's actions so far had earned their trust. Simply protecting them from Jing Lian Demon Fire's attacks was enough to gain their trust.

Moreover, Xiao Ze had let so many people go already; if he was stopping you, wouldn't it be because you were indeed suspicious?

Seeing the old man trying to drag them into his situation, many powerhouses thought negatively of him, but they did not speak out against him, as they could not afford to offend the Soul Clan.

"Soul Devil old man, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent," Xiao Ze said with a smirk.

Seeing his identity exposed, the old man gave up any pretense and his figure flickered towards the spatial passage. But in the next instant, a hand landed on his head, and the only thing the Soul Devil old man heard was the sound of thunder.

Immediately after, his consciousness and soul were annihilated by the power of the Nine Mysterious Golden Thunder.

Then Xiao Ze waved his hand, signaling the waiting powerhouses to leave. They passed by Xiao Ze and entered the spatial passage, their hearts racing with fear. From the brief outburst of power from the Soul Devil old man, it was clear he was a late stage five star Dou Saint. But in Xiao Ze's hands, he seemed as trivial as an ant.

Once all the powerhouses had left, Xiao Ze turned his gaze towards the outside of the Refining Sky Ancient Array, and with a flick of his finger, a cascade of energy rain fell from the heavenly array, striking outside the Refining Sky Ancient Array where the leader of the Soul Hall was located!

As an array personally arranged by Jing Lian Holy Saint, its power was extraordinary. The leader of the Soul Hall struggled for only a few dozen breaths before being completely annihilated in the energy rain.

Behind Xiao Ze, the members of the Dan League felt a sense of unreality. The leader of the Soul Hall, who had dominated Zhongzhou for so long, had fallen so easily?

Xiao Ze noticed their reactions, his lips curling slightly, but he offered no further explanation. Even a late stage five star Dou Saint like the Soul Devil old man couldn't last a single round against him, let alone the early stage five star Dou Saint leader of the Soul Hall.

Xiao Ze, nearing the level of a seven star Dou Saint, was almost two stars stronger than Soul Mie Sheng. Plus, using the Refining Sky Ancient Array to kill Soul Mie Sheng would have been overkill.

Thus, the members of the Soul Clan who had entered the demon fire space were all eliminated by Xiao Ze in a sweeping manner. Of course, the actions to weaken the power of the Soul Hall did not end there. Inside the demon fire space was one thing; outside, the Dan League also took this opportunity to swiftly remove many known branches of the Soul Hall, greatly weakening its power.
