Chapter 55: The Display of the Soul Controlling Banner!
"Goodness, we never expected that even our city of Wu Tan would have Dou Huang experts descend upon it, and not just one, but three at once!"
"That purple figure seems to be a demonic beast, isn't that a sixth-rank demonic beast?"
"It's terrifying. Fortunately, they are fighting outside the city. If it were within the city, Wu Tan would probably be instantly destroyed!"
Within Wu Tan City, various forces ascended to higher vantage points, their gazes filled with horror as they watched the great battle in the void outside the city.
On the rooftop of the Xiao Family, Xiao Zhan's face revealed sheer astonishment.
"How could Wu Tan City suddenly have Dou Huang experts!"
This was his first time witnessing this level of strength, feeling the pressure from the void. He felt like an ant, shivering involuntarily.
"Miss Yafei, do you recognize the identities of these two Dou Huangs?"
In a pavilion within the estate behind the Mitel Auction House, Yafei and Master Guni also gazed outside with serious expressions.
Upon hearing this, Yafei shook her head slightly, surprise evident on her beautiful face.
The Mitel Family had collected information on the famous top ten experts within the Gamma Empire. While Yafei hadn't met these experts, she knew everything about them.
But at this moment, looking at the two human figures in the void, she wore a puzzled expression.
"When did two unfamiliar Dou Huangs appear within the Gamma Empire?"
Dou Huangs were prominent figures within the Gamma Empire, wherever they went, they dominated. Now, two unknown Dou Huangs had appeared, undoubtedly disrupting the current situation in the Gamma Empire.
"Where is Young Master Chen Feng?"
After observing for a while, Yafei retracted her gaze, scanning the surroundings, not finding Chen Feng's figure, and couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Young Master Chen Feng isn't here, I don't know where he went."
Upon hearing this, Master Guni expressed some helplessness.
These days, Chen Feng was always elusive, often untraceable. Master Guni had gotten used to it.
Yafei's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity. She had naturally noticed Chen Feng's recent abnormal behavior.
"It seems that Young Master Chen Feng harbors many secrets..."
Outside the city, within a small grove.
"It looks like this old guy won't hold on for much longer."
Chen Feng hid behind a huge rock, watching the intense battle in the void, a faint smile playing on his lips.
After all, Yao Chen had just awakened and was in a soul state, unable to fully exert his strength. Although he barely resisted Ling Ying and Purple Thunder Marten's attacks with the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, it was evident he was growing weaker.
Continuing like this, Yao Chen was undoubtedly doomed to defeat.
"Since you are not from the Soul Hall, why attack me!"
In the void, Yao Chen urged the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, temporarily forcing Ling Ying and Purple Thunder Marten back, his expression dark.
He knew his current state very well. Continuing the fight would greatly disadvantage him.
Therefore, he was ready to compromise.
In his view, if the other party had a purpose, negotiation was possible.
He could take a little loss.
Yao Chen felt somewhat helpless and aggrieved. The prestigious Yao Chen of Central Province had now stooped to compromise with two Dou Huang-level ants.
Back then, individuals of this level didn't even have the qualification to meet him, let alone kneel before him and acknowledge him.
Yet now, he had surrendered to two Dou Huang-level beings.
Although he felt a bit humiliated, the present situation was different from the past, and he could only bow his head.
"Speak. What are your intentions? As long as they're not excessive, I can agree."
Yao Chen was enveloped in a forest-white flame, speaking calmly to Ling Ying.
In his view, since the other party knew his identity as Yao Chen, they probably sought alchemy from him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a hint of anger.
If it was alchemy, why not just discuss it properly?
Why resort to force?
Yao Chen finished speaking, waiting for Ling Ying's response.
As for Purple Thunder Marten beside her, he directly ignored it.
He wasn't reduced to negotiating with a beast.
However, the response given to Yao Chen was not a reply but the fierce attacks of Ling Ying and Purple Thunder Marten.
Without orders from Chen Feng, these two wouldn't heed Yao Chen's chatter.
Seeing them stop, they seized the opportunity and fiercely attacked Yao Chen.
"You guys..."
Seeing this scene, Yao Chen felt somewhat stunned. What were these two up to?
Couldn't they stop fighting and talk things out?
Although somewhat unexpected, Yao Chen was an old hand. He immediately reacted, activating the Bone Spirit Cold Fire and launched an assault on Ling Ying and Purple Thunder Marten.
"These two just won't listen."
As Yao Chen resisted, he felt helpless. The consumption of Bone Spirit Cold Fire was immense. If this continued, he would have no way out.
"Right, that kid from earlier..."
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Yao Chen's mind, thinking of Chen Feng.
Just now, these two individuals seemed to obey that kid.
He distinctly heard the person in black referring to that kid as their master.
With this in mind, the forest-white flames in Yao Chen's hand suddenly surged. After forcing back Ling Ying and Purple Thunder Marten, he directly headed towards Chen Feng's direction.
"Catch the thieves first to catch the king. Capture your master, and see if you won't be frightened."
A cold glint flashed in Yao Chen's eyes, sensing Chen Feng's location and heading straight for him.
"This old guy is indeed cunning."
Seeing Yao Chen charging towards him, Chen Feng was momentarily surprised but immediately understood the other's intentions.
"Perfect timing!"
Chen Feng held the Soul Controlling Banner in his hand, looking at Yao Chen approaching, a faint sneer appearing on his lips.
With a thought, he directly infused Qi into the Soul Controlling Banner.
As the Qi entered the Soul Controlling Banner, the banner's surface immediately emitted eerie black mist and vibrated violently.
"What's this?"
Seeing the Soul Controlling Banner in Chen Feng's hand, Yao Chen frowned, a premonition of danger creeping in.
However, sensing Chen Feng's mere Martial Master cultivation, he relaxed.
Just a Martial Master, could he cause any upheaval?
Surely, he was overthinking.
Thinking this, he showed a faint smile and swiftly moved closer to Chen Feng, preparing to capture him to threaten Ling Ying.
Seeing Yao Chen getting closer, Chen Feng's lips curled slightly.
"Almost there... Go!"
As Chen Feng's voice fell, the Soul Controlling Banner in his hand instantly turned into a black glow, carrying dense black mist as it charged straight towards Yao Chen.
"What?"
Seeing the black glow attacking him, Yao Chen was startled.
"Ah!"
"What is this ghostly thing!"
"And you claim you're not from the Soul Hall!"
The next moment, Yao Chen let out a miserable scream.
