Celestial Emperor of Devouring
Chapter 799 - 789: Cooperation
"Soul Power."
The Great Elder looked around and said with a frown, "There aren't many traces of battle here, but there's still a faint presence of soul power. The person who acted is an alchemist."
"The reason we were unaware is because the person set up a hidden soul barrier. This barrier is quite formidable."
The Great Elder, being an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, naturally could sense the residual soul power dissipated in the air due to his realm.
"An alchemist?" The Chaos Hall Master furiously shouted, "Remember this soul power! Even if we have to overturn the entire Immortal Realm, we must find this person for the Hall Master!"
Looking at Jing Tianyan's corpse, a cold glint flashed in the Great Elder's eyes, and he said grimly, "Daring to challenge the authority of Chaos Immortal Hall, no matter the cost, we must find him and avenge the Young Master!"
The Second Elder gritted his teeth and angrily said, "Yes, the murderer must pay with blood for blood!"
The Hall Master slowly placed Jing Tianyan's corpse down and stood up, his murderous aura instantly doubled, and he said fiercely, "Mobilize all power from the Immortal Hall; we must find the murderer!"
"Yes!" all the elders responded in unison.
A guardian frowned and speculated, "Hall Master, the Young Master hasn't provoked any major forces recently, only Gu Chenfeng. I suspect it was Gu Chenfeng."
"If it wasn't for Master Wuxu intervening, Gu Chenfeng would have killed the Young Master's avatar again. He does not fear our Chaos Immortal Hall."
"He possesses terrifying strength; even the power of the Vice Hall Master can't suppress him. If he truly wanted to infiltrate Chaos Immortal Hall, it would not be difficult."
"Gu Chenfeng!" The Hall Master gritted his teeth and said, "It's him again! That damned fellow, opposing us time and again, and now he dares to kill Tianyan. I must tear him to pieces!"
"We can't be certain yet." The Great Elder slightly shook his head and said, "Gu Chenfeng has terrifying mysterious power; don't provoke him until we're sure it's him."
"Hall Master, this matter requires caution. There may be other hidden truths. The guardian's suspicion is reasonable; Gu Chenfeng is the prime suspect."
The Chaos Hall Master squinted his eyes and said fiercely, "Issue my orders, dispatch all the Immortal Hall's experts to track the murderer. Whether it's Gu Chenfeng or not, also send someone to investigate secretly. Great Guardian, keep a close watch on Gu Chenfeng!"
"Understood! I will attend to it immediately!" The guardian respectfully accepted the command and then disappeared.
The Chaos Hall Master looked at Jing Tianyan's corpse, his eyes filled with grief and hatred, and said mourfully, "Yan'er, rest assured, no matter who the murderer is, Grandpa will avenge you. I'll make sure the murderer wishes for death over life!"
Tracking the true culprit through soul power is no small feat.
At that moment.
A figure flashed and appeared.
The newcomer was a black-robed elder, precisely the mysterious person from before.
"Who are you? How dare you forcefully enter Chaos Immortal Hall!" the Second Elder shouted angrily, mobilizing immortal power to strike.
But was stopped by the Great Elder.
The Great Elder scrutinized the black-robed elder and said gravely, "Even with my soul power, I cannot detect your presence. Your strength is extraordinary."
The Chaos Hall Master deeply furrowed his brow and asked, "Who are you?"
The black-robed elder did not respond.
The Chaos Hall Master was instantly enraged, flashing forward with a palm strike.
"Boom!"
The mysterious person didn't hesitate to meet the strike head-on with overwhelming force, pushing the Chaos Hall Master back.
With just a single exchange, he effortlessly pushed back the Chaos Hall Master.
It was clear the mysterious black-robed figure possessed terrifying power.
"Demigod Realm!" The Chaos Hall Master's old face changed drastically, looking at the black-robed elder in shock.
"Demigod Realm!" The Great Elder and others were astonished.
They hadn't anticipated the black-robed elder to be a demigod realm expert.
The Chaos Hall Master asked gravely, "Who exactly are you?"
"The Chaos Hall Master need not be angry." The mysterious person waved his hand, instantly changing his appearance to an elder with white hair and beard.
Seeing the elder's face clearly, the Chaos Hall Master widened his eyes in disbelief and exclaimed, "Void!"
"Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion's Tai Chi Elder!" the Great Elder and others exclaimed simultaneously.
Indeed!
The mysterious black-robed elder was Void.
Void smiled slightly and said, "The person is dead, Chaos Hall Master need not be so angry, revenge is the way."
"Hmph! You think the Hall Master doesn't want revenge?" the Chaos Hall Master said angrily, "Once I find out who it is, I'll crush them to dust!"
"No need to investigate." Void said with a light smile, "The owner of this soul power is Gu Chenfeng."
"As expected, it's him!" The Chaos Hall Master's old face twisted, an overwhelming murderous aura erupted, chilling to the bone.
The Great Elder frowned and asked, "Void Elder suddenly appears, what is your purpose?"
Void casually smiled and said, "You should be quite familiar with the name Gu Chenfeng, yet he's not the Mansion Master of old, though he has received the Mansion Master's inheritance."
"What? Received Gu Chenfeng's inheritance?" Several elders were shocked.
The Chaos Hall Master frowned and fiercely said, "No wonder he possesses such frightening power, Yan'er has been defeated by him time and again."
Void continued with a smile, "That boy has the Mansion Master's power, and he has now retaken the Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion, expelling me. The Immortal Mansion's Supreme Elder and all disciples were killed by him."
Upon hearing this.
The Chaos Hall Master and elders were all dumbstruck.
The Chaos Hall Master frowned and said, "No wonder Yan'er had mentioned the dwindling power of Myriad Ancient Immortal Mansion before."
Void went on, "Though I've broken through to the demigod realm, there was a mishap during the breakthrough, and now I'm merely a strand of primordial spirit power, currently unable to deal with Gu Chenfeng."
"I've come here to propose cooperation with Chaos Immortal Hall to deal with Gu Chenfeng together. With Master Wuxu aiding, it should be much easier."
"You should understand, Gu Chenfeng's cultivation speed is astonishing and he's now at the mid-stage of Immortal King. If allowed to grow stronger, revenge will be nearly impossible."
"Therefore, we cannot let Gu Chenfeng have time to cultivate. If the Chaos Hall Master is willing to cooperate, I will send experts to assist."
"The Hall Master is willing to cooperate!" The Chaos Hall Master agreed without hesitation and said, "But Gu Chenfeng must be handed over to the Hall Master for disposal!"
"Naturally." Void nodded with a smile and said, "As long as Gu Chenfeng is killed, everything will be as the Chaos Hall Master says."
The Great Elder frowned and asked, "What about Gu Chenfeng's inheritance?"
"Don't worry, Great Elder." Void activated a surge of divine power and said with a light smile, "I possess the Mansion Master's power, I don't need Gu Chenfeng's power."
"The boy's power can be yours, but the rest is mine."
"Good!" The Chaos Hall Master readily agreed and said, "It's a deal!"
