Chapter 100 Xiao Feng's Thoughts
"That is precisely why, if I were to reappear in the world, I would inevitably attract the pursuit of the Soul Hall again, and it might even involve you and the forces behind you. This is what I want to tell you."
After saying this, Yao Chen secretly observed Xiao Feng, wanting to see his reaction. Although he genuinely wanted to clarify these matters with Xiao Feng, he also had some other ulterior motives.
In his view, Xiao Feng, having cultivated to his current level, could not possibly be completely unaware of the Soul Palace, a top-tier power, and that was precisely his purpose! He wanted to use this to force Xiao Feng to back down.
Yao Chen was gambling that Xiao Feng wouldn't dare offend the Soul Palace or clash with it. He wanted Xiao Feng to understand the danger he was in, so that Xiao Feng wouldn't dare to forcibly subdue him or even let him leave. Otherwise, his plan would fail, and in the end, he would only have the same path as before.
Besides, there is a more tragic possibility: Xiao Feng may indeed fear the Soul Palace, but he may want to curry favor with it. After hearing my words, he might have a plan to capture me and hand me over to the Soul Palace in order to make connections and achieve his own goals.
This was the worst possible scenario, but it also offered a sliver of hope for escape—his last chance! That was why he had made the difficult decision to speak those words. He had already mentally prepared himself; if the first two possibilities were acceptable, but if the one he least wanted to see occurred, he would rather risk falling into slumber or even perishing by self-destructing a portion of his soul power to escape! He would even risk taking Xiao Feng down with him!
Of course, this was a method he had no other choice but to use. He would never have wanted to do this if there was even the slightest possibility of it happening. There's an old saying that goes, "It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death." Everyone cherishes their life, and he was no exception.
But who is Xiao Feng? How could he not see through Yao Chen's little thoughts? However, he did not punish him for it. After all, Yao Chen was only recently recruited by him, so it was understandable that he had some other thoughts and would not be as loyal as his previous subordinates.
However, none of this matters, as long as it doesn't cause any major problems. Besides, he is confident that he can make Yao Chen completely submit to him and be loyal to him in the coming period of time.
"The Soul Palace? You need not worry. If they dare to do anything, I will not hesitate to destroy them!" Xiao Feng said in a chilling tone, his eyes filled with killing intent as he spoke.
He wasn't exaggerating at all. To others, the Soul Palace might be a colossal entity, something they could only look up to. But in his eyes, the Soul Palace was something that could be destroyed at will. The strongest person in the Soul Palace, the Hall Master Soul Extinction, was only a five-star Dou Sheng. He was completely powerless in front of him.
The reason he hasn't taken action against the Soul Palace is simply because he doesn't want to expose himself. After all, if he were to attack the Soul Palace, his identity would be exposed, which would be troublesome.
Xiao Feng didn't think he had much ability, nor did he think he could turn danger into safety like Xiao Yan in his previous life when targeted by the Soul Clan. After all, Xiao Yan had the protagonist's halo! Moreover, the reason why Xiao Yan took action against the Soul Palace so early was because he had already exposed his identity and had a deep-seated hatred for the Soul Palace.
However, Xiao Feng was different. He and the Xiao clan members had never revealed their identities, and they had never had any contact with the Soul Palace. Under these circumstances, the Soul Clan and the Soul Palace would naturally not target them, and they had the opportunity to gradually increase their strength and secretly accumulate power for the strongest attack!
Do you think Xiao Yan didn't want to do that? Actually, he also wanted to secretly accumulate strength and then seek revenge when he was powerful enough. However, as I said before, he had already been exposed to the enemy's sight, so he had no choice but to do so.
Moreover, if Xiao Feng were to attack the Soul Palace now, his ability to easily kill Hun Miesheng, a five-star Dou Sheng, would naturally become known to the Soul Emperor. He doesn't have the ability to have the Soul Clan send out shrimp soldiers and crab generals again and again to serve as stepping stones for him and to train him to increase his strength.
In this situation, there is a very high probability that the Soul Clan will send powerful individuals to attack Xiao Feng, or even that Void Devouring Flame or the Soul Emperor himself will take action! His strength is simply no match for the Soul Clan Chief, the Soul Emperor. He wouldn't even need the Soul Emperor to personally intervene; he couldn't even defeat Void Devouring Flame! If that really happens, he will undoubtedly die!
He also knew that if his strength increased even further, that would be the true end for the Soul Palace! It would be the time when the Xiao Clan announced their return, and he had a premonition that this moment would arrive very soon!
That's why he hasn't taken action against any forces. Right now, he and the Xiao Clan are in a state of dormancy, secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the best opportunity to soar to the sky and then wipe out all their enemies!
Hearing Xiao Feng's words and seeing his performance, Yao Chen had no doubts. It was precisely because of this that he had great doubts about Xiao Feng: "He is fearless in the face of the Soul Palace, a top power on the continent, and even boasts that he will destroy it. Is he really confident or is he just bluffing?"
"If it's true, then what is his identity? And what power is behind him?"
It should be understood that when facing a top-tier power like the Soul Hall, ordinary experts would not dare to offend it. Not to mention the Soul Clan behind it, just the Soul Hall's several Dou Sheng, dozens of Half-Saints, and the Soul Hall Master who has reached the five-star Dou Sheng realm, even experts with the strength of a six-star Dou Sheng would not dare to face its sharp edge.
Yao Chen didn't believe that Xiao Feng possessed the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng or even higher. Those with such strength undoubtedly stood at the very top of the continent. The reason Xiao Feng, lacking true strength, could boast so arrogantly and disregard the Soul Palace was clearly because he had a powerful force behind him—that was his true confidence!
However, Yao Chen's deduction this time was wrong. He never expected that Xiao Feng in front of him was actually a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, and he never expected that not only did Xiao Feng have a huge power behind him, but that he was the master of this power!
"As for Han Feng, you don't need to have too many other thoughts. No matter who it is, as long as they are still alive in this world, they cannot escape my discerning eyes!"
