Chapter 1238: Are Young People Nowadays All This Fierce?_1

"That's right, Soul Hall is indeed that terrifying. You haven't offended Soul Hall, have you? If it's just some minor trouble, once I've recovered, I can help you settle it. Back in Zhongzhou, I had quite a few old friends whose strength must have advanced even further by now," Venerable Skyfire said haughtily.

Two young people, even if they offended Soul Hall, at most they would have only offended some members of Soul Hall, and not be enemies with the entire Soul Hall. He was confident that he could handle such minor troubles.

Although Soul Hall was powerful, it would not dare to act too recklessly on the Continent, otherwise, it would be attacked by many other forces.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just killing a few people from Soul Hall," Zi Yan said with a smile. She genuinely wanted to tease Venerable Skyfire.

"What did you say? Aren't you from Canaan Academy? You went to Zhongzhou? Little girl, it's not good to lie. How could you possibly kill people from Soul Hall?" Venerable Skyfire almost didn't catch his breath and was truly frightened.

"Cough cough... but I'll choose to believe you for now. With your strength, as long as the ones you killed weren't core figures of Soul Hall, then naturally, I can keep you safe," Venerable Skyfire coughed heavily.

He also felt a bit embarrassed for being so overly dramatic.

Soul Hall, like any other power, did not have all its members at the Dou Zun Dou Sheng level; there were many with Dou Ling Dou Wang "Cultivation Levels."

These people were as common as cows' hair in Soul Hall and were not given much importance.

Whether or not he could suppress them, he at least had to say so, cough cough, otherwise, how could he deceive Xu Ran and the others into rescuing him.

Although he was a Dou Zun with strong Soul Power, existing as a Soul Body meant that every day was spent depleting his own Soul Power. Continuing like this, he would dissipate in just a few days. So no matter what, he had to escape this cursed place first and then find a suitable body to resurrect in.

"What if those killed were core figures of Soul Hall?" Zi Yan asked, her smile growing sweeter.

"How could that be possible? I see you, girl, are not being honest. The core figures of Soul Hall belong to the nine Sky Venerables of Soul Hall, each one a supreme expert. These Sky Venerables all have the potential to break through to Dou Sheng before they are revered as Sky Venerables. The weakest among those guys are High-Level Dou Zuns, much stronger than me, and the strongest, the Great Celestial Venerable, is a Dou Sheng Expert," Venerable Skyfire said, full of wariness. He had accidentally learned of Soul Hall's fearsome reputation when he was active in Zhongzhou.

When he first reached the Dou Zun level, he was incredibly proud, but after learning about the Dou Sheng Experts of Soul Hall, he became much more restrained.

In the eyes of Soul Hall, what counted as a Dou Zun anyway?

"Oh. But the ones Xu Ran killed were indeed Sky Venerables of Soul Hall. And not just one, there was the Dou Sheng Level Great Celestial Venerable, the Half-Step Dou Sheng Second Celestial Venerable, and a High-Level Dou Zun, the Ninth Heavenly Venerable." Zi Yan counted on her fingers as she spoke.

"Hee hee, Xu Ran killed three Sky Venerables, and all these days Soul Hall's people have not come to trouble Xu Ran. Could it be that they are afraid of Xu Ran? I don't think Soul Hall is that formidable. Next time the Lord of Soul Hall comes, Xu Ran could beat him down too," Zi Yan was very confident in Xu Ran. The Lord of the Soul Hall was not stronger than Xu Ran.

"Soul Hall... three Sky Venerables?"

Venerable Skyfire looked at Zi Yan and Xu Ran as if they were monsters, his old face twitching. Even if it was boasting, there should be some semblance of reality, right? Killing Soul Hall Sky Venerables, that was a bit too far-fetched, even renowned old-timers would not dare to brag so.

Good heavens, such young people, and they could kill a Dou Zun?

He did know that there were some who could achieve such a feat, but those guys, when considered across the entire Continent, were all unique super talents with a future destined to become Dou Sheng existences!

"Xu Ran, look, he actually doesn't believe you," Zi Yan said with a giggle, hoping Xu Ran would take out the corpse of the Soul Hall Sky Venerable and the identity Token to give Venerable Skyfire a glimpse of what the world had to offer.

However...

It seemed like when she first met Xu Ran... No, no, it was when she first heard about him from Old Su Qian's mouth, she also wore a face of disbelief, her expression not much different from Venerable Skyfire's.

"You," Xu Ran said as he stretched out his finger and poked Zi Yan's forehead several times.

"Hehe. Show him and let him be enlightened. How dare he act all high and mighty in our presence. Even if a Dou Sheng were to come, it would be just the same. To teach Xu Ran? Such a person hasn't been born yet, but there are many who would want to be taught by Xu Ran." Having followed Su Qian, she knew a great deal about the situation of the Elders in the Inner Court. She was aware that several Elders, particularly those in Alchemy, were all eager to seek Xu Ran out as a mentor.

And among the students, Hu Jia was shamelessly following Xu Ran, begging him to teach her Cultivation.

"Could it be... everything this girl is saying is true? Have young people these days really become so formidable?" Venerable Skyfire asked, looking at Zi Yan and Xu Ran with suspicion.

With his years of experience and judgment, if someone were to deceive him, he would certainly have noticed.

However, the girl in front of him, despite her arrogance, spoke with a solid foundation and not a single hint of guilt. And judging from the girl's strength, she was at least a Douhuang. This young girl, definitely a Heaven's Proud Daughter, couldn't be speaking so recklessly without measure.

Moreover...

As for the young man in front of him... he really couldn't see through him.

Although his Soul Body was now very weak, if the person before him was below the level of a Dou Zun, he should have been able to easily see through their "Cultivation Level." But he couldn't see through at all, in fact, he couldn't notice anything.

Before, he thought all these anomalies were because he had stayed here too long and had degenerated. But now he was increasingly feeling that this was not the reason. Could it be... could it really be true???

"Impossible... impossible... it must be overthinking on my part. I want to see what they can produce." Venerable Skyfire said with a bitter smile, truly feeling senile for actually believing that a young man could have killed three Soul Hall Sky Venerables.

With the prestige of the Soul Hall, if three of their Sky Venerables were dead, wouldn't they go all out to hunt down Xu Ran?

Under the full pursuit of the Soul Hall, even a Dou Sheng would only face death.

"You should be able to understand what these are," Zi Yan said with a sly smile, flipping out three Tokens of the Soul Hall Sky Venerables from Xu Ran's belongings, waving her little hand excitedly as if she was the one who had killed those three super experts.

"Hehe. And there's the corpse of the Soul Hall Sky Venerable too. Xu Ran said he plans to refine these Sky Venerables into Demon Puppets. But you old fellow, since you want to go out, you must be looking for a suitable body to possess, right?" Zi Yan said, eyeing Venerable Skyfire warily.
