The golden tree emitted a brilliant golden light, hovering above Tianmeng City like a great sun, spreading its radiance over the earth. In this realm filled with wandering souls and thick black mist, a new world was born!
Under the golden light, everyone in Tianmeng City felt a warmth that dispelled the previous chill. Feeling as if the sun were shining down upon them, people couldn't help but look up, wondering if this golden tree might be the spark of hope against the shadow of death cast by their enemies.
Outside Tianmeng City, the Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall frowned as he gazed at the suddenly appearing golden tree.
"This is strange… I can't seem to see through it," he murmured.
Just as he finished speaking, a spatial passage slowly formed on the trunk of the golden tree. A powerful spatial force spread out from it, and a figure stepped out.
Tall and upright, he wore ordinary clothes. With a handsome face and starry eyes, he exuded a peculiar aura; looking into his eyes seemed to place pressure deep in one's soul.
"Alliance Master!" shouted Lü Xin, standing on Tianmeng City's walls, excitedly looking at the suddenly appearing Xiao Ze. Though she hadn't followed Xiao Ze for long, during her time in the alliance, any enemy who came was always easily defeated by Xiao Ze. His invincible demeanor commanded respect. Although she did not know his current strength, Lü Xin believed with absolute certainty that Xiao Ze could handle any foe. As long as he was there, Tianmeng would stand unshaken and undefeated.
Seeing Xiao Ze, the other old members of Tianmeng were equally thrilled, shouting for the Alliance Master. The sound spread in all directions, shaking the surrounding black mist.
Upon arriving, Xiao Ze used his spiritual senses to perceive the situation. The city was slightly damaged, but fortunately, no one had died. Scanning the city, he noticed many familiar faces wearing Tianmeng uniforms and many new ones. Finally, his gaze landed on the Soul Hall's Vice Hall Master outside the city. Although no one had died, there were countless injured, and someone had to be held accountable!
With a single step, Xiao Ze crossed the distorted space and appeared outside Tianmeng City. He looked at the figure shrouded in black mist and flicked his finger.
"Is it the habit of Soul Hall members to always hide their faces?" he mocked.
In an instant, a mighty burst of lightning energy formed a roaring thunder dragon, growing rapidly to hundreds of meters in length, charging directly toward the Vice Hall Master.
"Hmph, your intelligence is quite good. You were able to return to the Northwest Continent not long after leaving the Heavenly Tomb," the Vice Hall Master replied dismissively. He didn't take Xiao Ze's words to heart. Even though Xiao Ze's strength had reached the level of a Three-Star Dou Saint, the Vice Hall Master himself was already in the later stages of Three-Star Dou Saint. Although the intelligence from the Soul Clan indicated that Xiao Ze's combat power was extraordinary, the difference in their levels was still too great. Even if he couldn't win, he could at least protect himself.
Chains clanged and rattled, shooting out countless chains that pierced through the air, intertwining to form a killing net aimed at tearing apart the oncoming thunder dragon. Empowered by his dark energy and crafted from special materials, the chains indeed managed to diminish some of the dark lightning. However, the Vice Hall Master's expression turned sour; the current situation was not as he expected. The power of the lightning was more formidable than anticipated. Not only did it fail to destroy the thunder dragon, but in trying to weaken it, he had to sacrifice many chains!
"Hmph!" he snorted coldly, channeling his massive Dou Qi into the chains. Each chain carried the power to shatter mountains, and finally, he managed to tear the massive thunder dragon into countless lightning fragments. The dragon dispersed, and the remaining lightning scattered in the air, crackling and buzzing as it brushed past the Vice Hall Master, easily dissipating the black mist that shrouded him, revealing a face that was pale and abnormal. Seeing his exposed face, the Vice Hall Master's expression darkened further. In just a few breaths, he had fallen to a disadvantage, and what troubled him more was that Xiao Ze seemed to have delivered the attack effortlessly.
Behind Xiao Ze, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were stunned, feeling suffocated by the power that Xiao Ze had unleashed earlier. Initially, they were worried that Xiao Ze might not be able to handle such a fearsome enemy. But before they could even speak, Xiao Ze's casual attack had already put the Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall in a difficult position. Seeing Xiao Ze's overwhelming strength, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Vice Hall Master's thoughts raced as he glanced again at Xiao Ze, who stood with a calm expression. A hint of retreat appeared in his eyes.
"What is this? The great Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall is such a coward?" Xiao Ze taunted, sensing the retreat in his opponent's heart.
"But Tianmeng City is not a place where you can come and go as you please. Since you are here, you should be prepared to stay," he declared.
"Tianmeng City is beautiful, a perfect place for a Dou Saint to fall!"
As his words fell, the space around Xiao Ze distorted. In the blink of an eye, he appeared near the Vice Hall Master, and an incredibly violent thunderous power erupted from Xiao Ze's body.
Thunder Realm!
In the next instant, the entire area transformed into a world of thunder. Countless black bolts of lightning snaked through the sky, exuding a destructive aura! Before the Vice Hall Master could react, there was already no escape. Surrounded by the ominous black lightning, his expression changed dramatically.
"Wait! Xiao Ze, if you kill me, the Soul Hall will never let you go! The Hall Master himself will take action!"
"With your current strength, it might be easy to kill me, but if the Hall Master gets involved, you will certainly die!" the Vice Hall Master shouted in desperation.
Hearing this, Xiao Ze raised an eyebrow slightly. "Do you think I'm naive enough to believe that if I spare you, the Soul Hall won't come after me?"
"If killing you means that the Hall Master will come after me, then I might as well kill you and prepare for the Hall Master's arrival," Xiao Ze replied, his voice drowned out by the roaring thunder.
The Vice Hall Master unleashed a torrent of Dou Qi in an attempt to tear through the dark thunder around him. For a moment, it seemed to work, but the lightning filled the space again, as if it were endless.
Not long after, Xiao Ze dissipated the Thunder Realm. A figure fell to the plains outside Tianmeng City like a rag doll, lifeless.
"V-Vice Hall Master…" Bone You stared at the figure in disbelief.
