Chapter 344: The Hall of Souls Annihilates Yun Lan Sect!

...
As the crowd stared wide eyed and listened intently, the only sound that filled the air was Hai Bodong's crisp chewing as he enjoyed his fruit.
The sound was so particular that it sent a shiver down everyone's spine.
Where the hell did he learn to describe food like that?!
Could it be…
That at night, he secretly listened in on Lord Yan Zun and Queen Medusa…
Eating oranges together?!
Everyone turned their eyes toward Hai Bodong, who sat leisurely beside dozens of massive sacks filled with food. Their lips twitched uncontrollably.
Now they understood.
No wonder this man had become Lord Yan Zun's most devoted lackey.
Their strategic planning, days of hard work, and careful troop mobilization all amounted to nothing.
Meanwhile, what did Hai Bodong do?
He bought snacks.
That was it.
While they had spent countless resources and efforts preparing for this battle, this bastard just bought food and sat back to watch the show.
And look at him now
Not only was he eating comfortably, but the food he did share only went to Jia Xing Tian's granddaughters Queen Yao Ye and Princess Yao Yue as well as the Alchemist Association beauty, Xue Mei.
As for the rest of them?
Hah.
They could only watch and drool.
Anyone with half a brain could tell what Hai Bodong was doing
He was flexing his new status.
The former Ice Emperor, once a proud warrior wielding his Ice Spear with unshakable dominance, had changed.
His personality had shifted, but so had his strength.
And that was the worst part.
They couldn't even be mad at him because he had become stronger.
Watching Hai Bodong drink tea and smirk at them in disdain, Jia Xing Tian and Fa Ma's expressions stiffened.
Their own granddaughters and disciples had graciously offered them food, but
The moment they saw Hai Bodong's smug gaze…
They forced themselves to refuse.
This damn Hai Bodong…
In summer, he was a refreshing relief, expensive yet desirable.
But in winter, he was just annoying as hell.
They knew he had prepared extra food for them, but if they wanted it
They'd have to pay a price.
And it wouldn't be mere gold coins…
As Hai Bodong gazed at these sheep waiting for slaughter, his once rugged face now handsome and radiant, he grinned.
"Come on, just give in. Let me exploit you a little. That way, I can put in a good word for you in front of our Lord."
...
Meanwhile, the remnants of the Xiao Clan stood there, utterly powerless.
They were so weak that even calling them ants was an overstatement.
If anything, they were ant eggs.
Eggs = Useless cowards.
With their weak strength, they had no choice but to accept their role as mere spectators.
Back at Yun Lan Mountain
The entire mountain was now shrouded in darkness.
Most of the low level Yun Lan Sect disciples couldn't even see their own hands, let alone recognize who was beside them.
But what terrified them the most wasn't the darkness itself
It was the fact that their elders were no longer responding.
Because they were dead.
Those elders who had received "blessings" from the Hall of Souls…
Had instantly become nourishment for their masters.
Even Wu Tian had no time to stop them
Not that he would have stopped them.
Because their fate was already sealed.
The Hall of Souls never made unprofitable deals.
Regardless of whether a mission succeeded or failed, they would always take back several times what they invested.
And so, all the elders who had accepted power from the Hall of Souls
Had their souls devoured in an instant.
Among them, the Dou Huang elders were so insignificant that they weren't even worth mentioning
They were swallowed whole before they could even scream.
In just a few moments
The entire Yun Lan Sect elder corps was wiped out.
All that remained were some low level enforcers, Dou Ling experts, and countless weaker disciples.
And of course
The guests who had come for the wedding.
But to the Hall of Souls, they were less than ants.
Killing them would just dirty their hands.
As for what would happen to them
Was there even a need to ask?
They would all be… exterminated.
From the black mist, numerous shadows darted out
Cold, gleaming blades flashed through the endless darkness.
And with every flicker of light, a lifeless body fell to the ground.
For the remaining Yun Lan Sect disciples, this scene was a nightmare.
But before they could even scream in despair, their consciousness blurred
And death claimed them.
Watching this massacre unfold, neither Wu Tian nor Medusa showed any reaction.
To them, this self destruction was none of their concern.
Yes, some of these Yun Lan Sect disciples were innocent
But they had chosen to join the sect.
They had enjoyed its glory
And now, they had to face its downfall.
This wasn't unique to Yun Lan Sect.
Many sects on the Dou Qi Continent had been wiped out by their enemies.
And when revenge came, no one was spared.
That was the law of survival in this world.
So Wu Tian and Medusa merely watched
Calmly.
But as for Xiao Yan
He was stunned.
This scene, the unholy symphony of slaughter, the eerie death whispers in his ears
It snapped him out of his breakdown.
For the first time, Xiao Yan truly understood death.
And he realized…
That waiting for death was the most terrifying thing of all.
His hand tightened around the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade
And he suddenly noticed something wet between his legs.
…When did I piss myself?!
I'm scared.
I'm really scared.
The thought of dying that had filled his mind just moments ago
Vanished completely.
He didn't care about shame or humiliation anymore.
Because nothing was scarier than dying.
At this moment, Xiao Yan finally understood.
Living is the most important thing.
No matter the cost.
His mind suddenly cleared, and he made a quick decision
A green flame burst from his palm, wrapping around the jade
Then, with all his might
He hurled the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade far away!
As the jade spun through the air, it traced a perfect arc, plummeting downward…
Meanwhile, on his body, two different flames ignited
One yellow, one green.
Like fire and ice, they clashed violently, covering his entire being.
