The Eternal World

"Elder Yuan, we will protect you. With us here, you can rest assured!" The guards assigned to Zhang Chao by the four Great Clan Elders, upon seeing a dozen or so people from the Human Fire Hall chasing after them, immediately turned around and took out their weapons, ready for battle.

"You?" Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows, and could not help but retreat a few steps. "That's fine, you guys can do it, I have high hopes for you guys!"

"Rest assured Elder Yuan, we are bodyguards that Great Elder chose from afar. We can definitely guarantee your safety!" The four guards were all experts as well. Every single one of them had reached Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage and was only half a step away from the sage realm.

They could be considered quite good experts in the Ten Thousand Beast District.

After all, the sage realm existences here were not few in number, but they were far from being on the same level as the ground.

"Kill!" The four guards attacked the disciples of Fire Hall.

In an instant, his blade and sword danced wildly as elemental energy rampaged through his body.

Zhang Chao's eyes flashed as he continued to observe the situation inside the bodies of the Fire Hall disciples.

So that's how it is, what kind of Soul Fire is it, it's really frightening, it's just like trying to invade a wisp of my own soul, burning their original will, taking over their consciousness, at the same time stimulating the power within these people's bodies, letting them not be controlled by their own consciousness and slowly burning their life, thus achieving the effect of increasing their strength!

"Humph, such a despicable and despicable method. It looks like it really has the feel of a demon …"

After Zhang Chao understood, he started to laugh coldly in his heart.

In the village far away, a great battle had already begun, and continuous rumbling sounds could be heard.

"Tonight. "The Fire Hall will definitely be extinguished, if there's no mistake …" Zhang Chao squinted his eyes and analyzed, "But if an accident really does happen … This will be troublesome! "

"Seems like I should use some special methods when I'm doing this!"

After saying that, he looked around and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The terrain here, to him, was pretty good. It just so happened that he could quietly set up his own formation. If he were to set up his own formation … I have to do something, I can't just bring these four bodyguards back and forth …

"The four bodyguards, I'm sorry!" Zhang Chao saw that those four bodyguards were indeed powerful, but they did not seem to be at a disadvantage even when facing the encirclement of more than ten Fire Hall disciples.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly. He then flicked his finger and shot out several strands of elemental energy, accurately hitting the waists of the four bodyguards.

"Aiya!"

"What's going on?"

The four bodyguards were in pain at the same time, the elemental energy in their bodies was instantly blocked and they could no longer operate freely.

But in this moment of absent-mindedness, the dozen or so Fire Hall disciples were lucky enough to take advantage of the opportunity and instantly kill them all.

Those four unlucky bodyguards probably didn't even know what happened until they died and just fell into a pool of blood.

"Sigh, the four of you really died the most miserable death!" Zhang Chao was also very embarrassed, but he didn't want them to die!

"Kill!" After getting rid of the four bodyguards, the dozens of Fire Hall disciples, with their scarlet eyes, once again landed on Zhang Chao.

This person was their target, and was the one hall master Yan Lie had pointed out to capture!

"Eh? Don't, don't come at me! " Zhang Chao pretended to be afraid and ran.

Over a dozen fellows were chasing after him.

Just like that, the group of people chased after them and ran in a large circle around the village.

Even though the Fire Hall disciples were completely exhausted, Zhang Chao was still lively and running for his life.

Many people were incomparably moved by this scene.

"Hey, it's done!" While Zhang Chao was' escaping 'from the side, he had also set up a great formation, and at the same time, activated it.

The array did not have any strong power, nor would it have any special effects. It simply allowed Zhang Chao to use his Fa Wei Mind Technique, and used the array to spread out a large amount of mental power.

At the same time, all the Fire Hall disciples that were fighting with the Great Elder suddenly trembled and stopped moving. Their eyes were empty, as if they had lost their souls.

"Hmm? "What's going on?" Everyone was puzzled.

"What are you doing? "Why aren't you fighting?" Yan Lie's pupils also contracted as he started shouting.

However, the disciples of Fire Hall would no longer listen to Yan Lie's orders.

The so-called soul fire in their heads had already been completely destroyed by Zhang Chao's spirit power, causing Yan Lie to no longer be able to control them.

These people had all become idiots without their own consciousness. How they lived, whether they died or lived in the future was unknown.

But Zhang Chao knew how to make use of these trash again, it was just that this would have to be done later.

Immediately after, under Zhang Chao's control, all the Hall of Flame disciples who had lost control all fell onto the ground, and remained motionless.

"This... How could this be? "What is it..." Yan Lie's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He tried his best to regain control over these disciples, but discovered that he was unable to do so no matter what.

"Hahaha, what retribution!" The Great Clan Elder was startled at first, then laughed out loud. He pointed at Yan Lie and said, "It looks like the heavens are no longer able to look at this.

"Nonsense, what does this have to do with the heavens? Speak, what did you do? " Green veins were popping up on Yan Lie's forehead as he roared in anger.

"Us? We haven't done anything, yet with our poor standards, we want to falsely accuse others? " The Great Clan Elder spat, and said fiercely: "Yan Lie, your end is here!"

… ….

When Zhang Chao ran back, he was already dead.

His face was filled with unwillingness. His eyes were wide open as blood flowed out from his seven orifices. He lay on the ground, his body twitching from time to time.

"Grand Elder, is it done?" Zhang Chao pretended to be extremely exhausted, and asked with his face covered with dirt.

"Un, it's done. The heavens are helping me, the subordinates that this fellow is controlling are suddenly all not listening to him, that's why I was able to smoothly kill this evil thief, if not …" I'm afraid that the odds are against us today! " The Great Elder was also extremely haggard, his entire body was wounded, and he was panting heavily as he sat on the ground.

"Elder Yuan, are you alright?" A few other elders stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Yeah, it's nothing. But those four bodyguards died, it's all thanks to them …" Zhang Chao sighed, showing a regretful expression.

"If you die, so be it. You're fine!" The Great Elder waved his hand nonchalantly. Today's great victory was more beneficial to him than anything else.

"Mm, Fire Hall... From then on, it disappeared! " Zhang Chao nodded and looked towards the extremely messy village on the way.

"Then what should we do with these Fire Hall disciples?" A subordinate asked.

"They are all just a group of bastards who have lost consciousness due to the Soul Fire Pit, it's useless to keep them, they are just like living corpses, you can burn them all, just treat it as Yan Lie's funeral!" The Great Elder ordered coldly.

Burn it?

Zhang Chao sneered in his heart, how can such a good batch of resources be destroyed by you just like that?

At this moment, a disciple suddenly rushed over, "Oh no, Great Elder, a large group of people is rushing over!"

"What?" A large group of people? "Who is it?" The Great Elder's expression changed as he hurriedly asked.

"It's the Black Bear Sect, the guy I recognize as the leader is Huo Hen! Furthermore, there seem to be a few experts from Shark Sect following them! " The disciple quickly replied.

"What?" Black Bear Sect? Huo Hen, this traitor? " Hearing this, the Great Elder clenched his fists in anger. "How many people are there?"

"I can't see clearly, but I estimate that there should be at least over a thousand people!" The disciple replied.

Over a thousand people …

When everyone heard this, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"What about that expert?" "How many experts are there?" The Great Elder asked again.

"There are at least three sage realm experts!" Hearing this response caused the Grand Elder to tremble.

"Huo Hen your ass, you got the news that we are going to the Fire Hall, so you came to loot us, and you came here to reap the benefits!" The Great Clan Elder squinted his eyes, looked at his subordinates angrily, and could not help but shake his head: "No, we have just fought a big battle with the Fire Hall, our powers are greatly weakened, we cannot fight against the Black Bear Sect head on!"

"Then Great Elder, your meaning is …"

"Retreat!" Anyways, we have already achieved our goal, so the remaining pile of puppets and trash can be slowly digested by the Black Bear Sect itself! " The Great Clan Elder stood up, supporting his sore shoulder, he said, "Our Qilin Sect does not lack the resources of the Fire Hall!"

"Yes!" Everyone retreat! " After receiving the grand elder's order, everyone immediately began to retreat.

As for Zhang Chao, he left behind a letter without anyone noticing, and then left with the crowd in a hurry.

Not long later, Huo Hen led the group to the place.

"Good heavens! The Fire Hall has been crippled!" Seeing Yan Lie's dead body, Huo Hen raised her leg and kicked, then looked around: "Everyone, begin to sweep, whatever you have, go ahead!"

"Yes sir!" The thousand or so people immediately dispersed like a swarm of locusts, beginning to sweep through the entire village.

"Master Huo Hen, the disciples of Fire Hall are still alive, but for some reason, they did not react, as if they had lost their souls!" Very quickly, a disciple of the Black Bear Sect found out about this matter and immediately reported it to Huo Hen.

"Oh? Is that so? " Huo Hen's expression moved, she quickly checked the number of Fire Hall's disciples, and found that it was indeed so.

"Master Huo Hen, this … We found this slip of paper on the body of a Fire Hall disciple! " Soon after, the secret slip of paper that Zhang Chao had left behind was discovered and handed over to Huo Hen.

"This belongs to Master …" When Huo Hen saw that slip of paper, her entire body immediately shivered. She felt deep veneration for it, and after opening the slip of paper to read through a few times, he couldn't help but smile.

"Hahaha, good, very good! So that's how it is!" The more he smiled, the happier he became. Then, he waved his hand and said, "Brothers, we've struck gold this time. Bring all of the Fire Hall's disciples away, be careful not to hurt them. I'm of great use!"
