Chapter 250: Destruction of the Temple!
When Xiao Ze finished speaking, Qing Lin showed no reaction. Walking through the gigantic black temple, seeing the miserable conditions of the imprisoned spirits, Qing Lin felt a deep contempt for the actions of the Soul Hall.
However, the three Soul Hall Guardians tied to Xiao Ze's waist showed faces of panic. Although they knew their chances of survival were low, hearing Xiao Ze say he was going to destroy the temple made them realize they probably didn't have much time left, as they had lost their usefulness.
Knowing Xiao Ze's ruthless nature, they knew he wouldn't spare their lives. From the moment Xiao Ze headed to this temple covered with a cloak and hiding his appearance, it was evident he didn't want his identity revealed. The best way to keep a secret is to ensure no one is left alive to tell it.
Xiao Ze ignored the thoughts of the three Soul Hall Guardians. After storing the soul bag, he began expanding his Marine Fantasy field. Each time he encountered a Guardian or Messenger of the Soul Hall, the Marine Fantasy field would crush them instantly.
This Soul Hall temple was truly large. Even with the maximum extension of his Marine Fantasy field, Xiao Ze couldn't cover the entire temple. However, his goal was to kill as many Soul Hall members as possible.
After a while, Xiao Ze concentrated a drop of light blue liquid on his finger. This drop quickly fused with the Marine Fantasy field. Utilizing the power of his Calamity Venom Body, Xiao Ze had created a poison that could quickly corrode the runes on the soul chains, rendering them useless.
Even in a Soul Hall temple, there were many imprisoned spirits. Freeing all the spirits alone, with Qing Lin's help, would be difficult and time-consuming. Additionally, Xiao Ze wasn't sure when the Soul Hall reinforcements would arrive, so it was best to act quickly.
The spirits, noticing the runes on the soul chains starting to fade, showed expressions of joy. Remembering how the Soul Hall messengers and guardians were annihilated by an unknown force, they knew some enemy of the Soul Hall had invaded.
The fact that the enemy was willing to release the spirits, who had little utility, filled them with hope. Without wasting time, they began to flee towards the exit.
Taking advantage of his Marine Fantasy field, Xiao Ze found several places where the Soul Hall stored resources. Although he tried to obtain this information from the three Guardians, they knew nothing, as these important matters were handled by high-ranking officials or trusted individuals.
Boom! Xiao Ze kicked the door of the resource storage, finding a large amount of herbs, pills, weapons, combat techniques, and cultivation methods. The Soul Hall didn't engage in humane tasks; hunting spirits was their main objective. Wild spirits weren't enough, so they also hunted humans.
Killing and stealing was their modus operandi, amassing a terrifying amount of resources. Additionally, this temple was in the pill region, where alchemists abound. By hunting alchemists, they obtained their valuable accumulations.
This temple contained many pills and herbs. Xiao Ze even found many pill recipes he didn't know, obtained by alchemists during their adventures. After collecting everything, he freed all the imprisoned spirits in the temple.
"This Soul Hall temple is no longer needed."
After looting the temple, Xiao Ze became much richer. Although he was an eighth-level alchemist master with a solid foundation, he couldn't match the Soul Hall's accumulation of resources.
Xiao Ze broke the three bottles, releasing the spirits of the Soul Hall Guardians. Seeing Xiao Ze's expression, they knew they wouldn't escape death.
One of them pleaded, "Please, at least give us a quick death since we provided you with a lot of information."
"As you wish." With a flash of golden flames, the three Guardians were completely annihilated. Knowing their evil, Xiao Ze never intended to let them live. Besides, they knew who he was and that he had destroyed the temple, so he couldn't let them live.
Afterward, Xiao Ze used his Azure Sea Tide technique. Although initially, its power wasn't as great as other techniques, accumulating it several times made its destructive power considerable. Moreover, Xiao Ze valued its ability to cause large-scale destruction, which he could now easily perform due to his high cultivation level.
Shortly after, the spirits that had escaped from the temple gathered in the valley, wanting to see their savior. They saw immense energy condensing inside the temple, transforming into a devastating wave that completely destroyed it.
"Where is our savior? Will he be okay?"
"Impossible, that energy clearly came from our savior. He wouldn't have buried himself."
"He probably doesn't want to reveal his identity. Facing the Soul Hall isn't something easy to overcome."
The spirits knew Xiao Ze wouldn't appear before them, so they quickly dispersed.
Xiao Ze, along with Qing Lin, watched the spirits leave.
"They are also innocent, victims of the Soul Hall's hunt," commented Qing Lin with compassion.
"The Soul Hall is a cancer on the Dou Qi continent. If I ever get the chance, I'll eradicate them all," said Xiao Ze with disdain. "But for now, it's better if we leave. I used techniques rarely seen, so they shouldn't link it to me."
Ensuring they left no traces, Xiao Ze and Qing Lin returned to the resting place of the Ancestral Snake. The Millennium Blood Crystal was a rare gem they couldn't pass up.
Moreover, Xiao Ze remembered that according to ancient records, the Millennium Blood Crystal had a small chance of producing a Blood Heart.
