However, shortly after Protector Wu fled, he collided head-on with an incredibly thick wall.
"Is this... a spatial barrier? Impossible! How could you create such a solid spatial barrier?!"
Seeing the sudden appearance of the spatial barrier, Protector Wu was filled with despair.
Such a sturdy spatial barrier was undoubtedly capable of blocking any outgoing messages. Even the jade talisman he had just crushed was likely intercepted.
Observing Protector Wu's expression of despair, Xiao Chong chuckled lightly.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you. I might be the most skilled in controlling spatial energy among all the Dou Zun in this world, even more so than the Ancient Void Dragons."
"You... are going too far! I'll fight you to the death!"
Feeling as though he had been greatly wronged, Protector Wu hurled the chains beneath him towards Xiao Chong.
Each chain was entwined with a dark aura that could dim even the soul.
Although this move was completely ineffective against Xiao Chong, he couldn't help but take a few more interested glances at the flying black chains.
These chains seemed to have a specialized effect against soul entities. They didn't appear to be unique weapons but rather a Dou Technique that had taken physical form.
There was indeed some ingenuity here.
Just as Xiao Chong had this thought, a familiar sensation appeared in his mind.
[Your comprehension is unparalleled. By observing Protector Wu's desperate counterattack, you have developed a keen interest in this soul-targeting technique.]
[You have also comprehended a technique specifically designed to target soul entities.]
[Earth Rank Dou Technique, Intermediate Level: Soul Search Technique! This technique allows you to extract all the memories from a soul entity while causing severe damage to the soul itself.]
For Xiao Chong, who could effortlessly wield Heaven Rank Dou Techniques, this Earth Rank technique might seem a bit underwhelming.
But for Xiao Chong, it was just right.
Because with his level of comprehension, he didn't need any secluded cultivation to master an Earth Rank Dou Technique. Just a glance in his mind was enough to learn it.
Heaven Rank Dou Techniques, on the other hand, required Xiao Chong to enter secluded cultivation for two or three days.
And now, in this very moment, Xiao Chong had not only learned the Soul Search Technique.
There was also a perfect test subject right here. How wonderful.
With a thought in his heart, Xiao Chong transformed the Dou Qi in his palm into a cage of death energy, instantly trapping Protector Wu.
Then, the Samadhi True Fire at his fingertips turned into fiery needles, pinning Protector Wu in mid-air.
The Samadhi True Fire, which ignored all defenses, instantly burned through all of Protector Wu's Dou Qi. Without the protection of Dou Qi, he could only appear as a remnant soul.
Seeing this, the expressions of Yun Yun and her master became inscrutable.
The Protector Wu, who had been so arrogant in front of them just moments ago, had immediately become a pitiful mess after Xiao Chong's appearance.
This person, who was technically their junior in terms of age, was truly so powerful that it made one feel inferior.
Seeing the unmistakable killing intent in Xiao Chong's eyes, the powerless Protector Wu immediately begged for mercy.
"My lord! My lord, please spare my life!"
"I was only following orders! It was the Hall Master and the Elders of the Soul Hall who commanded me to do this!"
"Although you intercepted my message, I left a soul mark at the Soul Hall branch. If you harm me, they will surely find some clues!"
"It doesn't matter, you cant escape anyway."
"I don't believe that the Soul Hall would give up targeting the Xiao family and me if I let you go."
After all, the ambitions of the Soul Emperor were known to all. In his quest to become a Dou Di, he would stop at nothing.
If they were to learn any information about me, the next person to come here wouldn't be some small fry Dou Zong, but at least a Dou Saint.
If it were a Dou Saint, Xiao Chong would have to rely on the hidden formation he left beneath the Xiao family's back mountain to kill them, which would be quite troublesome.
Therefore, Xiao Chong had no intention of sparing this Protector Wu, who in the original story had captured Elder Yao.
Seeing that Xiao Chong was completely unfazed, Protector Wu changed his tactic and shouted angrily!
"Xiao Chong, do you know that the Chu Yun Empire has already amassed a large army at the border of the Jia Ma Empire?!"
"Haha, this is because I helped an old monster there become a Dou Zong and had him mobilize the Chu Yun Empire's army."
"I also left a soul mark there. If my soul mark disappears, they will march their army to the border!"
These words actually made Yun Yun pause.
She naturally knew that the Chu Yun Empire had sent troops to the vicinity of the Huangshi Fortress at the Jia Ma Empire's border.
Who would have thought that the mastermind behind this was actually the Eagle Protector? Xiao Chong hadn't expected this unexpected revelation.
It was within his expectations that someone from the Chu Yun Empire would make a deal with the Soul Hall, such as the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, which had deep ties with the Soul Hall.
Now it seemed that the Chu Yun Empire had almost completely fallen under the control of the Soul Hall.
If it weren't for the fact that in the original story when the Little Fairy Doctor create the Poison Sect and wiped out the entire Chu Yun Empire's royal family, the Chu Yun Empire would probably still be under the Soul Hall's control.
But this also explained why, after Little Fairy Doctor create the Poison Sect, the Soul Hall quickly approached her and incited her to attack the Yan Alliance.
So there was actually this layer of relationship here.
Seeing Xiao Chong deep in thought, Protector Wu thought he was hesitating and immediately became ecstatic.
"Haha... do you... want to start a war between two nations and have this country buried with me?!"
Xiao Chong "Do you think I care?"
"Never mind, it seems you don't have any decent last words. Goodbye."
Soul Search Technique! Activate!
This brutal method of soul searching would almost completely destroy a person's soul, but Xiao Chong naturally didn't care.
A black hole appeared in Xiao Chong's palm, voraciously devouring all of Protector Wu senses and memories.
Protector Wu presence instantly vanished from the secret chamber.
Soon, fragments of the memories related to Protector Wu surfaced in Xiao Chong's mind. Although they were somewhat chaotic and fragmented, most of them were unnecessary details.
Xiao Chong only needed to know the location of the Soul Hall's branch in the Northwest Continent, so he could eradicate it completely when the time came.
"Alright, this guy's matter is temporarily dealt with. Next, it's your turn, the former sect master of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Shan!"
"I heard you were planning to join forces with the Soul Hall to target the Xiao family?"
