Chapter 164: Surprise Attack on the Man Hall!



"Auntie! Auntie! Auntie!"

Little Xian Yue called out three times in a row.

"Good girl! Auntie will give you something tasty!" Zi Yan felt immensely satisfied as she listened to Little Xian Yue's innocent voice, her face filled with joy.

"Oh no, I got too excited and didn't notice Big Brother Gu Fei coming!" Suddenly, Zi Yan's expression froze as she sensed Gu Fei's presence approaching.

Without turning around, she started walking toward the bamboo building, pretending not to have noticed him.

"Zi Yan..."

But before she could take a few steps, Gu Fei's voice echoed beside her.

"Oh, it's Big Brother Gu Fei... Weren't you in seclusion to refine a ninth-grade pill? Why did you come out so soon? Did you fail?" Zi Yan turned around, forcing a smile onto her delicate face to hide her awkwardness. She pretended as if she had just noticed Gu Fei.

"Daddy! Hug me!" Little Xian Le immediately jumped into Gu Fei's arms, and he naturally lifted her small frame.

Zi Yan experiences intense awkwardness, gaining 100 emotional points.

"Yes, I did fail this time." Gu Fei, equipped with an emotion system, could clearly sense all of Zi Yan's emotional fluctuations. However, he chose not to expose her.

"What a shame, that must have wasted a lot of precious herbs!" Zi Yan said with a tone of relief, playing along with Gu Fei.

"Yeah, Daddy, you're so wasteful!" Little Xian Yue chimed in from Gu Fei's arms, her innocent voice helping to ease Zi Yan's awkwardness.

The two of them quickly agreed on the plan. To maintain secrecy, they announced that they were going into seclusion and didn't inform anyone else in the Gu Clan, not even the elders, because they suspected there might be Hun Clan spies among them.

"Xiao Yi Xian, Cai'er, Zi Yan and I need to go out for a bit, but don't worry!" After making some arrangements, Zi Yan and Gu Fei quietly left the Gu Realm.

...

The Hall of Souls was notorious in Central Plains. It had numerous branches, with twenty- four important ones known as the Disha Halls. Above these were the Tiangang Halls, the most crucial locations of the Hall of Souls.

The Tiangang Halls were divided into three: Heaven, Earth, and Man Halls. The Heaven Hall served as the headquarters, where the Soul Hall's master, Hun Mie Sheng, resided. The Earth Hall was under the control of the deputy hall master, and the Man Hall was managed by the First and Second Tianzuns.

Gu Fei's target this time was the weakest of the three, the Man Hall as attacking it would be the safest option.

...

The Burial Corpse Mountain Range was located at the southwestern edge of Central Plains. The terrain made the area filled with heavy yin energy mixed with dense corpse qi. The mountain range itself was a strange formation of tombs, creating an eerie and desolate atmosphere. Hardly anyone ever ventured here willingly.

"Whoosh!"

In the silent sky above the Burial Corpse Mountain Range, a faint whooshing sound suddenly broke the stillness. Two figures, moving as swift as light, appeared in the distance. They were none other than Gu Fei and Zi Yan, who had traveled here from the Gu Realm.

"We've arrived. The Man Hall is up ahead!" Gu Fei's gaze fixed on the deepest part of the mountain range, where the space seemed to distort slightly.

"Zi Yan, it's up to you now!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me! Not even a mosquito will get out!" Zi Yan smiled confidently, waving her sleeve as the surrounding space trembled. A massive barrier formed, enveloping

the entire area.

With the preparations complete, Gu Fei and Zi Yan charged into the depths of the mountain range, both cloaked in large black robes.
