Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 596: Reentering the True Martial Holy Hall

Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Reentering the True Martial Holy Hall

The City Lord of Luo Chi City couldn’t help but take a step back, a look of terror appearing in his eyes.

No matter what, he never expected that the one appearing here would be the master of the ninth hall of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

The City Lord of Luo Chi City knew he was doomed, yet chose not to beg for mercy, instead sneering coldly: "To make me surrender, you’re daydreaming."

"I am a Death Warrior of the Slaughter Emperor Sect, dying for the Slaughter Emperor Sect is my wish, you can kill me."

The City Lord of Luo Chi City did not resist, did not flee, but instead opened his arms waiting for death.

However, Chu Nan shook his head and said: "I won’t kill you immediately, I will brand an Enslavement Mark on you first, and after I learn everything I want to know about the Slaughter Emperor Sect, it won’t be too late to kill you then."

With these words, Chu Nan formed a seal with one hand and began to conjure the Enslavement Mark.

This fake City Lord of the Luo Chi City was only at the Cloud Sea Realm Cultivation, enslaving him for Chu Nan was as easy as taking something out of a sack.

"No, I belong to the Slaughter Emperor Sect, I cannot be enslaved by you!" The City Lord of Luo Chi City screamed in terror, and his body immediately began to swell.

BOOM!

Immediately following, there was a boom, and the physical body of the City Lord of Luo Chi City exploded in an instant, creating a three-foot deep crater in the ground.

"Master, this guy self-destructed!" Zhuge Yun frowned deeply; the self-destruction of this fake City Lord of Luo Chi City was too fast, perhaps there was some prohibition on his body, so even he had no time to act.

Now that the City Lord of Luo Chi City is dead, the information was instantly cut off.

"It doesn’t matter." Upon seeing the City Lord of Luo Chi City self-destruct, instead, a faint smile appeared on Chu Nan’s face; he stopped forming the Enslavement Mark and released his Power of Spiritual Sense.

The Power of Spiritual Sense transformed into a giant abyssal mouth, which devoured the disintegrating soul of the City Lord of Luo Chi City in one gulp.

SWISH!

The soul power merged into the Sea of Consciousness, giving Chu Nan no enhancement at all.

At his level, ordinary souls could hardly contribute to the growth of his own soul.

However, at that moment, the memories belonging to the City Lord of Luo Chi City were refined by Chu Nan.

A vast array of memories unfurled like a series of paintings before Chu Nan’s eyes; he gained a detailed understanding of this fake City Lord of Luo Chi City’s life, as well as the nearby plans and deployments of the Slaughter Emperor Sect. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

This kind of technique is actually quite dangerous; a person without firm will could easily be influenced by the memories of others, gradually altering their own personality, ultimately confusing reality and illusion, and eventually descending into madness.

Were it not for Chu Nan’s resolute will, an ordinary person devouring souls like him would have succumbed to madness countless times by now.

Standing by, Zhuge Yun witnessed all this but was shaken deeply.

Although he had seen Chu Nan devour Zhao Shibang’s soul before, even the second time, he still felt a profound shock.

This technique of seizing souls and reading memories, probably only the Withered Soul in the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall possesses it.

And the Withered Soul is the first in the Soul Dao of the Celestial Crossing Realm, even though Chu Nan’s soul hasn’t reached that level, he likely can already peek into a part of it.

Soon, Chu Nan snapped out of it, looked at Zhuge Yun, and said: "In that City Lord of Luo Chi City’s memories, it shows that as of three days ago, the Slaughter Emperor Sect has secretly taken over seven cities."

"Each of these seven cities is arranged with arrays, interconnected, and the Slaughter Emperor Sect plans to sacrifice all living beings within the seven cities in one go to assist one of the Slaying Emperors in breaking through his cultivation."

Zhuge Yun’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, then he became somewhat angry: "These Slaughter Emperor Sect bastards are bloodthirsty and insane, always doing such shortsighted things."

"Master, what should we do?"

Even though he acknowledges Chu Nan as his master and wouldn’t betray him, he still values his identity as an elder of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall and naturally feels indignant towards the Slaughter Emperor Sect’s methods.

But if Chu Nan were to conflict with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, under the influence of the Enslavement Mark, Zhuge Yun would unhesitatingly side with Chu Nan.

"There’s no rush; the Slaughter Emperor Sect has been preparing for a long time; sacrificing seven cities in one go isn’t that easy." Chu Nan replied with a calm expression, "Most importantly, the Slaying Emperor about to break through might be at the pinnacle of the Seventh Heaven."

"With our current strength to deal with him, it won’t be easy."

Even with three Blood Corpses, Chu Nan’s main body possesses only the battle strength of the Sixth Heaven; he was able to defeat Bu Qingfeng before solely because he had just broken through and his cultivation was unstable.

Therefore, the three Blood Corpses combined can easily defeat him.

But the Slaying Emperor to deal with now has been entrenched in the Seventh Heaven for many years, only a step away from the Eighth Heaven.

His depth and control over the Seventh Heaven’s power are simply incomparable to that guy Bu Qingfeng.

Chu Nan estimated that to deal with a Martial Artist of this level, three Seventh Heaven Spirit Corpses are not enough; at least his own strength should also reach the Seventh Heaven level!

And to achieve Seventh Heaven battle strength in a short time, Chu Nan must once again enter the True Martial Holy Hall!

"Master, should we return to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall to seek the Withered Soul’s aid?" At this point, Zhuge Yun made his suggestion.

The Withered Soul is also an old Seventh Heaven powerhouse, additionally being the first in Soul Dao, comparable to an Eighth Heaven Martial Artist.

With the Withered Soul, besides the Ninth Heaven Martial Artists, no one could challenge them.

But to Zhuge Yun’s surprise, Chu Nan shook his head and said: "It’s just a trifling matter; as the new Ninth Hall Master, I have no face going back to ask for help."

Chu Nan somewhat understood the deeper meaning behind the First Hall Master giving him the Blood Sacrifice Array.

The situation here must have already been known by the First Hall Master and the Withered Soul; with his current cultivation, it’s hardly manageable.

Thus, the First Hall Master gave him the Blood Sacrifice Compass, perhaps hoping that Chu Nan would use the Blood Sacrifice Array to preemptively sacrifice those cities occupied by the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

To utilize the power of the Blood Sacrifice to enhance the power of the Blood Corpse to contend against the Slaughter Emperor Sect’s Martial Artists.

For the Martial Artists of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, the lives of a few cities are indeed insignificant, such actions have long been commonplace.

But Chu Nan scoffs at the Blood Sacrifice Technique, completely unwilling to do so, hence he said to Zhuge Yun: "I’ll take you to a good place, how much strength you can increase depends on yourself."

Zhuge Yun is a slave who would never betray Chu Nan, but being in the Sixth Heaven, he is still too weak; Chu Nan plans to take him into the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall to see if there is any way to help Zhuge Yun improve his cultivation.

Having made up his mind, Chu Nan took Zhuge Yun away from the City Lord-less Luo Chi City, fleeing in the opposite direction, away from all the cities and human traces.

And shortly after he left, a force filled with cold ice suddenly enveloped the entire Luo Chi City.

The entire city instantly crystallized under a layer of frost.

The inhabitants of the city felt the cold air, and a look of panic appeared on everyone’s face, not knowing what had happened at all.

At this point, a murmur drifted from the sky: "Not here? Hmph! Let’s see how long you can hide!"
