Chapter 314: Sensation in Zhongzhou
After the battle in Ye City, news spread rapidly throughout Zhongzhou, sparking countless discussions. Although the Ye family, rulers of the city, had fallen from grace, Ye City remained a massive city. The city's inhabitants came from all over, connected to various parts of Zhongzhou. The repercussions of the shocking battle that took place in the city spread in all directions like a tide.
The most outstanding of all was Xiao Ze. The battle in Ye City could be considered Xiao Ze's personal showcase. He used a celestial-level combat technique to annihilate most of the powerful individuals from the Hall of Souls and single-handedly killed a Six-Star Sovereign of the Hall of Souls. Each of these feats was enough to spark discussions and make Xiao Ze's name resonate throughout Zhongzhou.
If Xiao Ze was previously known as a master alchemist, he was now recognized for his astonishing strength. In the Dou Qi continent, the strong are respected and admired. This impressive achievement was even more remarkable due to Xiao Ze's youth. Some even bestowed upon him the title of the strongest person of the new generation in Zhongzhou. This title spread quickly and was widely accepted without objection.
During the conflict between the Pill Tower and the Hall of Souls, the battle in Ye City was the largest in scale, attracting much attention and making Xiao Ze stand out even more.
In the Burning Flame Valley, Tang Huo'er, reading the information, was left speechless, looking at Tang Zhen in disbelief.
"Dad, is the Xiao Ze mentioned in the report really the same Xiao Ze we met?"
Tang Zhen smiled bitterly. "I can't believe it either, but the facts are clear. Xiao Ze's growth is so astonishing that it's hard to believe. In such a short time, he has managed to kill a Six-Star Sovereign of the Hall of Souls, something even I can't do."
Tang Zhen was completely impressed by Xiao Ze's rapid improvement. "Not only has he improved in strength, but he has also advanced incredibly in alchemy. How can he have so much energy?" murmured Tang Huo'er, feeling great frustration comparing her progress to Xiao Ze's.
"Dear, don't compare yourself to someone like Xiao Ze. That will only lead you astray," said Tang Zhen quickly, seeing Tang Huo'er's expression.
"Dad, don't worry. I won't obsess over it, but I must admit that I greatly admire Xiao Ze's talent and effort," said Tang Huo'er, looking at Xiao Ze's image in the report with admiration.
Other great powers were also amazed and envious of the Pill Tower for having such an outstanding genius. If they had such talent, they would surely rise to the top in Zhongzhou. Seeking to form alliances, many forces began approaching the Pill Tower.
At the headquarters of the Hall of Souls, numerous Sovereigns gathered. Near the main seat, a figure finally appeared.
"We greet the Third Sovereign," everyone said in unison. From the Third Sovereign onwards, the status difference between the Sovereigns was enormous. The Third Sovereign had reached the Saint Realm, a vast difference from the common Sovereigns.
After listening to the report, the Third Sovereign lightly tapped the table with his fingers. "For now, postpone the matters with the Pill Tower. The arrangement of the Great Soul Devouring Array is sufficient. Focus on collecting spiritual bodies. But we cannot ignore that the Pill Tower has killed two of our Sovereigns. Pay close attention to their outstanding talents and eliminate them as soon as you have the opportunity. If they kill two of ours, we will kill one of their future leaders," said the Third Sovereign firmly.
The other Sovereigns nodded without contradiction. "That's all. For now, do not provoke the Pill Tower," concluded the Third Sovereign, and the spirits dispersed.
In the Ancient World, a figure slipped out of a palace, exuding vibrant energy. "How are things, Ling Lao?"
"Miss, everything is in order. With the interference of the Gu Tribe, the Hall of Souls will not dare to attack the Pill Tower again," responded a figure in the shadows respectfully.
"Xiao Ze seriously offended the Hall of Souls by killing a Six-Star Sovereign. Although the Gu Tribe is interfering, I don't believe the Hall of Souls will ignore the death of two of their Sovereigns," said Xun'er worriedly.
"Don't worry, Miss. As long as Xiao Ze is in the Pill Tower, he will be safe," said Ling Ying, trying to reassure her.
Xun'er nodded and used the small golden tree to contact Xiao Ze, warning him not to leave the Pill Tower unless absolutely necessary. The Gu Tribe's rapid reaction was due to the seal of the small golden tree Xun'er possessed.
