Chapter 1155: Chapter 1155: The Soul Hall Master Emerges from Seclusion!
In the main hall of Soul Palace, chaos erupted after learning of Elder Gu’s demise!
Previously, Vice Hall Master Yin Ping managed the situation, and after Yin Ping’s death, Elder Gu took over. But now that Elder Gu has perished, even though Soul Palace still has figures like the Great Elder and the Great Protector… either they’re too old or too timid, none dare to step up!
All the senior members of Soul Palace turned their gaze to Qiu Qianren.
“Elder Qiu, you know Ye Fan best from the secular world! Tell us, is Ye Fan really that terrifying?”
Soul Palace aspires to revive, having laid such extensive groundwork in the secular world, aiming to treat it as a breeding ground, using everyone there as nourishment for Soul Palace.
Yet in the end, they were completely defeated!
The reason was merely because of one Ye Fan!
However, due to the limitations of rules between worlds, the powerful figures of Soul Palace couldn’t invade the secular world in large numbers, so the intelligence on Ye Fan was obtained through Memory Stones or other people’s accounts.
Looking at the true core high-levels of Soul Palace before him, including some inner sect elders, all of whom were very timid, Qiu Qianren sighed helplessly in his heart.
Alas!
If Soul Palace relies on these people, how can it succeed in sweeping across the entire Immortal Domain again?
Without Ye Fan even needing to make a move, they’d all become spineless and surrender to Ye Fan!
“Ladies and gentlemen, Ye Fan indeed demonstrated Golden Core Realm power in the secular world! And upon reaching the Immortal Domain, he exhibited Nascent Soul Realm power… But there’s no need to be so panicked; many of his methods simply borrowed from the treasures and elixir pills in our Soul Hall Treasure Vault…”
Though Qiu Qianren was just a diminutive Outer Sect Elder, his strength had also dropped to the Golden Core Peak!
Qiu Qianren indeed feared Ye Fan, but he wasn’t panicked.
“Look, when he slew that vagabond powerhouse from the Three Thousand Worlds, he used our Soul Hall’s Annihilation Talisman… Without the Evil Power Shepherd’s assistance and our Annihilation Talisman, do you think Ye Fan would be a match for that vagabond powerhouse?”
“According to our investigation, Ye Fan should have a connection with the Starry Sky Emperor’s legacy! His physique does have immense benefits, but also fatal weaknesses, that is, when Ye Fan truly starts inheriting some legacy from the Starry Sky Emperor, there will definitely be a window where his power disappears, isn’t that the perfect time for us to act…”
Qiu Qianren explained to the crowd while playing footage of Ye Fan from the Memory Stone.
Sadly, although Qiu Qianren spoke very reasonably and analyzed excellently.
Those high-levels of Soul Palace, having spent years nesting in the Southern Immortal Domain, enjoying the spoils of past battles, had lost their fighting spirit!
The methods Ye Fan previously displayed terrified them out of their wits.
The crowd remained in a buzzing state of chaos!
“Well said! You bunch of useless people are not even as good as a mere small elder, what’s the point of keeping you around?”
Clap! Clap! Clap!
With a burst of applause, a majestic figure emerged from the shadows.
Before the figure even fully appeared, a domineering and imposing aura had already permeated the entire main hall of Soul Palace.
Everyone’s robes fluttered without wind, as they felt a strong oppression pressing down on them.
“Ah? Hall Master! You’ve emerged from seclusion?”
Everyone turned their heads towards the figure!
A middle-aged man dressed in black robes was seated at the highest throne, his sharp gaze sweeping over the audience.
Originally, it should have been a Phantom Body, but at this moment, the Soul Hall Master was entirely solidified!
As the black smoke around the Hall Master’s body dissipated, a handsome yet slightly effeminate man appeared before everyone.
This was none other than Zhuo Feng, the Soul Hall Master who had been in seclusion!
According to real age, this Soul Hall Master was at least a thousand years old!
After the War of Gods, Soul Palace was downtrodden for tens of thousands of years, experiencing numerous Hall Masters, none of whom brought much progress!
It was only a thousand years ago when Zhuo Feng took over Soul Palace and became the Hall Master that they gradually carved out new territory in the Southern Immortal Domain, allowing Soul Palace to start rising again!
“Greetings, Hall Master!”
The high-level members of Soul Palace had only fallen into decadence a few decades ago, after Zhuo Feng entered seclusion, when they started indulging in pleasures.
Now with Soul Palace in crisis and Zhuo Feng emerging from seclusion, they suddenly had an anchor.
“Hmph! What’s the name of that elder who spoke earlier?” Zhuo Feng asked, pointing towards Qiu Qianren.
Qiu Qianren’s body trembled, a trace of ecstasy flashing in his eyes.
He knew his opportunity had come!
“Reporting to the Hall Master, subordinate Qiu Qianren! I was previously sent to the secular world… But due to Ye Fan’s interference, Vice Hall Master Yin Ping, along with all of Soul Palace’s operations in the secular world, collapsed completely, and I escaped by the skin of my teeth. Please pardon me, Hall Master…”
Qiu Qianren did not shirk his responsibility!
The complete collapse of Soul Palace’s operations in the secular world was a fact! It was better for Qiu Qianren to admit it himself than let others voice it.
“I’m already aware of the matters in the secular world! Even Yin Ping perished at Ye Fan’s hands, you certainly couldn’t stop it!”
Zhuo Feng tapped his finger on the armrest, pausing for a moment before continuing, “Here’s what we’ll do! Since Yin Ping has fallen, there’s a vacancy for the Vice Hall Master position… Temporarily, Qiu Qianren will fill it! From this moment on, aside from me, all tuning of Soul Palace will be handled by Qiu Qianren!”
“Ah?”
Zhuo Feng’s arrangement left all the senior members of Soul Palace dumbfounded!
Even Qiu Qianren himself was rooted to the spot!
Qiu Qianren knew that his speech today would definitely make Soul Hall Master Zhuo Feng remember him!
But Qiu Qianren hadn’t expected Zhuo Feng to directly promote him to such a position, just below one person and above ten thousand others!
From a minor Outer Sect Elder to a core Inner Sect Elder, to the Council of Elders, to Vice Hall Master—
this path crossed countless levels.
“I…”
Qiu Qianren just wanted to speak, but his strength had barely reached Golden Core Peak. Even if Zhuo Feng gave him this authority, he couldn’t suppress so many powerful figures of Soul Hall!
But before Qiu Qianren could speak, the other core elders of Soul Hall, jealous, began to voice their opinions.
These people, who were not particularly diligent in their duties, were unsurprisingly uncompromising when vying for benefits and resources.
“Hall Master! Might this not be appropriate? Elder Qiu just returned from the secular world and isn’t familiar with many matters of the Immortal Domain, taking over the entire Soul Palace… might be a bit challenging for him! Moreover, Elder Qiu’s current power, only at Golden Core Peak, is at a steward level, taking on the role of Vice Hall Master…”
“Indeed! Hall Master, Elder Qiu’s power is too low. If he could achieve the strength of Nascent Soul Third or Fourth Grade, perhaps then!”
Several core elders eagerly chimed in!
With Yin Ping gone, they believed the position of Vice Hall Master should fall to them!
Now that it was given to Qiu Qianren, they were naturally displeased!
Zhuo Feng coldly chuckled, “Lacking power? Hmph! Isn’t that simple?”
Buzz!
Zhuo Feng’s hand moved and a fierce wave of Telekinesis enveloped Qiu Qianren. The powerful Telekinesis forcefully infused into Qiu Qianren’s body…
