Chereads / Supreme Monarch of Eternity / Chapter 24 - Chapter 24

Chapter 24 - Chapter 24

At the Qin Mansion, Qin Yongda received the news early in the morning.

"Ye Wushuang was taken out of the Ye Mansion by the Soul-Devouring Hall?"

"Yes."

"Was it just him?"

"Yes."

Hearing the report, Qin Yongda wondered, "When did this kid get involved with the Soul-Devouring Hall? If Mo Xuan is protecting him, that could be troublesome..."

The Soul-Devouring Hall is not only deeply rooted in Flowing Moon City but also has a significant background throughout the Qingyun Empire.

If Ye Wushuang has a close relationship with the Soul-Devouring Hall, even the Qin clan might be reluctant to provoke them over this matter.

This is not good news!

Qin Yongda immediately said, "Find out immediately how Ye Wushuang got involved with the Soul-Devouring Hall. Also, tell everyone to keep an eye on the Ye Mansion. If there's an opportunity, strike immediately. If not, do not force it."

"Yes, sir."

At the same time, the news reached more than just Qin Yongda.

At the Yun Mansion, Yun Qingyue, dressed in a set of neat martial attire that accentuated her emerging figure, was practicing a set of boxing techniques. She was resting in the courtyard pavilion, exuding an elegant yet fierce aura.

"Go ahead, what is it?" Yun Qingyue asked as someone knelt before her.

"Miss, Ye Wushuang left the Ye Mansion and was taken away by the Soul-Devouring Hall. I investigated and found out that two Refining Body Phase Ninth Level bodyguards escorted him to the Soul-Devouring Hall."

Hearing this, Yun Qingyue was taken aback.

Two Refining Body Phase Ninth Level bodyguards!

The Soul-Devouring Hall was clearly intent on protecting Ye Wushuang. They must have known about the significant events of yesterday, yet they dared to act in such a manner?

What could Ye Wushuang possibly have that would make the Soul-Devouring Hall risk offending the Qin and Yun families like this?

"The Soul-Devouring Hall... Yesterday, Yun Chang was killed in the duel arena by someone around sixteen years old..."

Suddenly, Yun Qingyue stood up, releasing a terrifying aura from her body.

"Well done, Ye Wushuang, very well!" Yun Qingyue snorted coldly, her slender palm slamming down on the table.

With a loud crash, the stone table in the pavilion shattered.

Everyone around immediately knelt down, not daring to breathe heavily.

In the Yun family, the young mistress was not only exceptionally talented but also unmatched in wisdom. Currently, many matters within the mansion were subject to her advice, and even the family head often sought her opinion.

"I thought you were surely dead, but it seems I was the one fooled, and Yun Chang was also killed by you, Ye... Wu... Shuang!"

At this moment, Yun Qingyue was furious and ordered, "Find out immediately how Ye Wushuang got involved with the Soul-Devouring Hall."

"Yes, ma'am!"

In Flowing Moon City, Ye Wushuang's departure from the Ye Mansion did not only alarm the Qin and Yun families, but also caught the attention of various other forces.

At this moment, inside the Soul-Devouring Hall, Mo Xuan and Mo Xiao looked very enthusiastic towards the arriving Ye Wushuang.

Mo Xiao, with her voluptuous figure, approached Ye Wushuang and couldn't help but laugh, "Little brother, you're really quite bold. Aren't you afraid that we at the Soul-Devouring Hall might collude with the Qin and Yun families, lure you here, and kill you?"

"I don't think so."

"Oh, why is that?" Mo Xiao asked curiously, batting her eyes.

"After all, you still need me for the arrays within the Soul-Devouring Hall. Moreover, if you were to make a move on the way here, I think I could escape. But if you were to make a move within the Soul-Devouring Hall, I believe... the one who would die wouldn't be me."

Hearing this, looking into Ye Wushuang's clear and calm eyes, Mo Xiao was slightly stunned.

Mo Xuan laughed at this moment, "Rest assured, we at the Soul-Devouring Hall have never seen eye to eye with the four great families in Flowing Moon City. Cooperating with them is out of the question. Besides, we don't put much stock in the four great families!"

The Soul-Devouring Hall engaged in many shady businesses and had the confidence to stand its ground in Flowing Moon City.

"Today, I will set up the second core array!"

"Very well."

With that, Mo Xiao led Ye Wushuang deep into the Soul-Devouring Hall...

At this moment, Hall Master Mo Xuan was heading to another part of the Soul-Devouring Hall, eventually arriving at a room.

In the room, a young man of about twenty years old stood with his hands behind his back. Upon seeing the young man, Hall Master Mo Xuan immediately bowed and said, "My lord, the person has arrived."

Hearing this, the young man turned around, holding a paper fan. His features were handsome and symmetrical, giving off an extremely gentle impression at first glance.

"Very well, take me to see him," the young man said with a smile. "Logically, there should not be a first-grade spirit array master in Flowing Moon City. This young man is indeed extraordinary. After hearing about the events that happened to him yesterday, I am even more curious. If this young man is truly worth nurturing, our Dark Soul Hall can also protect him."

Hall Master Mo Xuan remained bowed, smiling, "If this young man can be favored by my lord, it would be his fortune!"

The Soul-Devouring Hall could take root in Flowing Moon City naturally because it had a background.

And that background was the formidable Dark Soul Hall.

The Dark Soul Hall was an extremely mysterious and powerful force throughout the Qingyun Empire. Even the top families in the capital, such as the Xiao and Qin families, would not easily offend them.

The Soul-Devouring Hall was just a branch opened by the Dark Soul Hall.

The true location of the Dark Soul Hall's headquarters remains unknown to this day.

The young man before them, named Xu Qiyuan, is the son of a hall master within the Dark Soul Hall. He is also a spirit array master with exceptional talent and holds a significant position within the Dark Soul Hall. Even Hall Master Mo Xuan must be polite and not dare to disobey him.

At this moment, Mo Xuan led Xu Qiyuan to the depths of the Soul-Devouring Hall, stopping in a room from where they could observe everything in the secret chamber.

At this moment, in the secret chamber, Ye Wushuang, accompanied by Mo Xiao, began to condense spirit patterns and carve spirit arrays once again.

At this moment, Xu Qiyuan, who was in another room, watched Ye Wushuang's actions, and his expression gradually changed. It started with curiosity, then turned to surprise, and then to shock, until finally, he seemed to have an epiphany.

Mo Xuan did not understand arrays, but he could not help but notice the change in Xu Qiyuan's expression.

Could it be that Ye Wushuang is truly a genius in the field of arrays?

"Wonderful!" At this moment, Xu Qiyuan clapped his fan, unable to help but praise, "How... how could he know these?"

This seemed to be a question to Mo Xuan, but Mo Xuan had no idea.

At this moment, inside the secret chamber, Ye Wushuang spent half an hour setting up the second spirit array, integrating it with the Sealing Yuan Five Elements Array. The two arrays resonated with each other, combined with several other arrays around, and the entire Soul-Devouring Hall immediately felt different.

"Done," Ye Wushuang exhaled, his forehead slightly sweaty, and then said, "Tomorrow I will come again, and the third spirit array can be set up. When the three arrays merge, any martial artist below the fourth level of the Condensation Phase who dares to cause trouble in the Soul-Devouring Hall will undoubtedly die."

Mo Xiao said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Young Master Ye."

"Taking money from others, working for others, there is no hardship to speak of," Ye Wushuang said.

As soon as Ye Wushuang finished speaking, two figures came together outside the secret chamber.

"Am I not mistaken, the second spirit array is a first-grade spirit array called the Minor Thunder Spirit Array. As far as I know, this Minor Thunder Spirit Array requires at least 180 spirit patterns to be combined and arranged. But just now, I saw Young Master Ye seem to use only 150 spirit patterns to outline it."

"Moreover, not only that, Young Master Ye can also integrate this array with the Sealing Yuan Five Elements Array. The Sealing Yuan Five Elements Array is a sealing array, and the Minor Thunder Spirit Array is an attacking array. Generally, it is most appropriate to integrate arrays of the same type. If different attribute arrays are integrated, they may directly counteract each other and become ineffective if not done carefully. I don't know how Young Master Ye managed to neutralize these two arrays?"

The young man in green, holding a paper fan, couldn't help but ask.

Ye Wushuang looked at this person but raised an eyebrow.

Seeing that Ye Wushuang seemed displeased, Hall Master Mo Xuan hurriedly said with a smile, "Young Master Ye, this is Young Master Xu Qiyuan, also a spirit array master!"

Ye Wushuang, however, said directly, "Hall Master Mo Xuan, just like alchemists, artifact refiners, and array masters, all have their own secrets, you should know that, right?"

"This..." Mo Xuan was taken aback for a moment, feeling a sense of impending trouble.
