Cang Lan caught the flying object. At this moment, the black mist dispersed, and what was wrapped in the black mist was a ghost flag.

There were countless ghost symbols printed on the banner, and there were people’s faces constantly appearing on it. Some were frightened, some were angry, and some were mournfully crying …

At that moment, the entire Secluded Hall was filled with a strong dark wind. The screams of miserable ghosts echoed endlessly, causing the scalps of the two old men beside them to go numb, their hearts to tremble, and their faces to turn even more miserable … Was this the Myriad Soul Banner True Monarch Xuanxiao refined with the souls of countless strangers?

No matter what, they would never have imagined that True Monarch Xuanxiao, who used to look like a Dao Immortal, would actually sacrifice the souls of ten thousand people to refine such an evil creature …

Who would believe it if he said it out loud?

“Ten Thousand Soul Banner … Hmph!”

Cang Lan held the ten thousand soul flag in her hand. At this moment, she could clearly feel the terrifying dark soul power within the flag. The soul flag refined from countless souls was bound to be extremely powerful.

However, how could anyone know that he was using such a strange thing since he was also Divine Martial Palace of Palace Master? If anyone knew about this, he would probably lose his reputation.

“Cang Lan Palace Master … what do you think?”

At this moment, a figure finally appeared outside the hall. That person’s entire body was hidden under a black robe. Under the dim lights, he could not see his appearance clearly.

This person was one of True Monarch Xuanxiao’s four High Priests, the Black Tiger Priest. As for Xuanxiao Palace’s four High Priests, they had always been very mysterious. They rarely traveled in the world, and very few people knew about them. Most of the people in the world only knew that under Xuanxiao Palace, 36 islands, 72 domains, and countless experts were like clouds. As for how many powers there were, no one knew.

“Humph!”

Cang Lan snorted coldly and waved her hand. Then, she threw the ten thousand soul flag back at the Black Tiger Priest. She said calmly, “I don’t think so. If people find out that I’m using such a demonic creature, wouldn’t it cause me to lose my reputation in the entire Ancient Realm? If it was the Black Tiger Priest, would you do such a thing?”

“Haha …”

The Black Tiger Priest did not feel annoyed. He smiled gloomily and walked into the hall. “If it was me, I would not suspect that everything in front of me is just clouds. There will be a day when it dissipates. Only eternal life will be eternal …”

As he spoke, he placed the Ten Thousand Soul Banner beside Cang Lan and said gloomily, “You must not underestimate that person. Without the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, it is almost impossible for Palace Master Cang Lan to deal with him. I will leave the Ten Thousand Soul Banner here. As for whether I should use it or not, it is all in the Palace Master’s mind …”

At the end of his sentence, the Black Tiger Priest turned around and turned around before he left. He said indifferently, “If Cang Lan Palace Master can capture that person’s soul, then the Undying Medicine and the Longevity Art will belong to Cang Lan Palace Master. Besides, if that person doesn’t die, how will Divine Martial Palace break through Celestial Pogoda? So Palace Master, it’s best to think about it carefully … Haha.”

“Wait!”

Cang Lan stopped him and said coldly, “In that case, the Black Tiger Priest already knew the identity of that person. Who is he?”

The Black Tiger Priest stopped and smiled gloomily, “What? Cang Lan Palace Master is so anxious to know the identity of this person. Could it be that she has already begun to fear him before she even fought?”

“Humph!”

Cang Lan snorted coldly and said unhappily, “I’m afraid there aren’t many people in this world who can make Ben Palace Master afraid! Who exactly is that person? Why does True Monarch Xuanxiao insist on his soul?”

“Haha, at that time, Palace Master will know …”

The Black Tiger Priest smiled coldly. As the cold laughter gradually faded away, his figure slowly disappeared into the dark corridor.

After a long time, the two old men in the hall slowly regained their senses. They looked at Cang Lan Palace Master and whispered, “Palace Master, what do you plan to do next?”

“Hmph …”

Cang Lan snorted coldly. She turned around and looked at the banner stained with black gas. “Black Tiger, do you really think I don’t know what True Monarch Xuanxiao is thinking? Hmph …” she said coldly.

“Then …”

The two beside them furrowed their brows and looked at the Black Mist Fiend’s Ten Thousand Soul Banner. This Ten Thousand Soul Banner was indeed powerful, but it was truly too evil.

If people were to find out that the Divine Martial Palace was hiding such a strange thing, then there would be endless troubles in the future. However, if it was really like what the Black Tiger Priest had just said, they would have to use this Myriad Soul Banner to deal with that person …

“Hmph.”

Cang Lan snorted coldly, “Actually, Black Tiger was right about one thing just now. As long as Celestial Pogoda didn’t get rid of him, he would suffer in the end. As soon as Liao Wuchen came, he would help Celestial Pogoda turn the tide. If he didn’t get rid of him …”

At this point, there was a killing intent in his eyes, causing the two old men beside him to feel a suffocating coldness. It had been a long time since the Palace Master had such a strong killing intent …

Cang Lan’s gaze grew colder and colder as she said, “You two, go and call Elder Xuan Yue over now.”

The two old men were stunned for a moment. At this moment, they probably knew what he meant. Not to mention, they cupped their hands and immediately left the hall.

…

It was already night outside. Today was the first day of the eighth month, and it was the night of the new moon. The moon was not visible in the sky, and the night was heavy and lengthy.

“Wei Yang, you and Ling Luan, and the others, go back to Celestial Pogoda first.”

Divine Martial Palace’s disciples were all very excited. Not far away, Celestial Pogoda looked at them and then turned around to look at Xiao Chen. He said, “Hua Weiyang and I will go to Zi Yuan.”

Hearing that he was going to Divine Martial Palace personally, Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but frown, despite all these years, whether it was Celestial Pogoda, Divine Martial Palace, or the Mysterious Frost Pavilion. Although these three great powers all had signs of decline, even if they were to decline, they still had a certain amount of strength. If he went to Divine Martial Palace like this, it would be akin to entering a dragon pond and a tiger’s den.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Xiao Chen looked at the disciples of Celestial Pogoda not far away and said, “Divine Martial Palace, it’s just a small fight at the moment, but there will be a life-and-death battle between us and Xuanxiao Palace. If Divine Martial Palace gathers all the forces to attack, we will definitely be enemies on our backs and stomachs.”

At this point, he gradually frowned and looked at Hua Weiyang. “Ku Lingzi is still in True Monarch Xuanxiao’s hands. Our situation is not optimistic,” he said.

“Liao Wuchen, sister Wei Yang!” At this moment, Ling Luan ran over from there. In the past few months, he had not seen her as happy as she was today.

Hua Weiyang chuckled and stroked her hair in her ear. “Sister Ling Luan, let’s go back to Celestial Pogoda.”

“Oh, oh!”

Ling Luan nodded, then looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Liao Wuchen, aren’t you coming back with us …”

“He’s going to a place.”

“To a place, it can’t be the Divine Martial Palace!” Ling Luan was shocked. She immediately covered her mouth and looked at Xiao Chen with astonishment.

“Shh” Hua Weiyang gestured for silence and turned to look at Xiao Chen. “Be careful. If anything happens, send a message to me.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Chen nodded his head gently. Without hesitation, he moved and disappeared into the night with Zi Yuan.

“Liao Wuchen, he …”

Looking at the pitch-black night without the stars and moons, Ling Luan’s face was still a little stunned. Going to Divine Martial Palace, how dangerous was that? Could Liao Wuchen and that big sister Zi Yuan deal with it?

Hua Weiyang chuckled and said, “Let’s go.”

She was still very confident in Xiao Chen’s current strength. She was just afraid that there would be some unnecessary troubles during this period of time.

…

The night was dark. Tonight in Divine Martial Palace, it was quite peaceful. By midnight, Cang Lan was walking towards the back hall. He had already left the Secluded Hall a stick of incense ago. The Secluded Hall was his cultivation secret hall.

No matter how cold the night wind was, it couldn’t hide the cold killing intent on his body at this moment. Judging from his cold killing intent, it seemed that he had already found a way to deal with Xiao Chen.

Half an incense stick later, Cang Lan arrived at the back hall. Tonight, there was no light on the stars or the moon. The lanterns outside the hall were also extinguished. Not only was there no disciple guarding the entrance of the hall, there was not even a single candle on the hall. It was pitch-black. Normally, this was not the case …

“Moon? Qingfeng?”

Cang Lan immediately became vigilant. Genuine energy condensed in her palm and walked into the hall. On both sides of the hall, there was still no sign of anyone. At this moment, a faint male voice sounded from the hall’s head, “Cang Lan Palace Master … is he finally back?”

“Who is it!”

Cang Lan was shocked. Previously, the Black Tiger had just arrived at the Divine Martial Palace. At least someone had discovered it. However, who was it now that was able to quietly enter his back palace? One had to know that there were many restrictions and guards outside the rear hall.

At this moment, the true energy in Cang Lan’s hand condensed and shot towards the direction where the voice came from. However, this stream of true energy shot out like a rock sinking into the sea and instantly dissipated into nothingness.
