'Soul-Sealing Runes?'

The moment Zhiran saw the barrier surrounding the soul body at the center, he realized what it was.

"Haha...an intact soul of such a high caliber? Tch... tch... no wonder you managed to kill that idiot. It seems he didn't die unjustly."

Zhiran was thinking about who could use such a ranking rune in this place when he heard a faint laughter followed by the appearance of a man.

He seemed to be the one who used Soul-Sealing Runes just now.

'Why is there suddenly someone who is in the realm of late foundation here?'

Zhiran was confused as he didn't recognize the man in front. But no matter what, he decided that the risk suddenly got too high.

He was already aiming high by thinking of clashing with that soul, but now, another foundation establishment cultivator appeared abruptly.

"Soul Sealing runes? This is surprising."

Just as Zhiran was thinking of leaving the place entirely for now, he heard the soul body gazing at those barriers and murmuring.

Even though she was surrounded by such an array, she didn't seem afraid. Rather, she seemed amused or even a little excited.

"Oh? You recognize it? It seems you were a strong person while you were alive."

The middle-aged man seemed a little surprised. After all, soul-related arrays were very rare in this world, and rarely could anyone use them.

He could use it only because his Han family was an expert at such methods.

"Since you know what it is, you must also know its strength, right? So...why don't you submit to me? Maybe, I will let you live and not refine you."

Han Zhufeng asked, finding the situation quite interesting. With his runes in effect, he wasn't afraid of the soul running away.

"Oh? You want me to submit to you?"

However, he never realized how absurd his offer was to Master Xueyin. She was a Mahayana cultivator in her heyday, and here he was, wanting to make her submit with that realm of his.

For a moment, an unknown rage built up inside her.

"Boy, it seems you're fed up with living and want to die."

Suddenly, the deep voice of Master Xueyin echoed throughout the chamber filled with endless coldness.

Even Zhiran, who was far from their position, could feel that she was angry.

"Boy?"

However, Han Zhufeng was instead totally confused as Xueyin called him a boy. Well, maybe she was far older than him while she was alive, but still, being called a 'boy' made him awkward.

He felt like he was insulted.

"Okay, since you have no intention of submitting, then let me refine your soul. You are more valuable that way anyway.

Since the person refused, Han Zhufeng had no intention of wasting his time.

So without waiting a bit, he immediately waved his hand, activating the Soul Sealing Rune in the process.

"Master!"

The moment Han Zhufeng waved his hand, the transparent shield around Master Xueyin began fluttering strangely, while complex symbols began to appear everywhere.

Even the barrier around began shrinking slowly as if trying to enclose the soul tighter and tighter.

Tinayu, who was thrown out by his master before, also saw the seriousness of the situation and shouted aloud in anxiousness.

But seeing the guy floating atop was actually a late-stage foundation realm cultivator; he didn't know what to do.

He wanted to rush like a hero and try to save his master with everything he had, even if it meant he might die, but the dreadful aura of Han Zhufeng stopped him in his tracks.

He was getting very strong warnings that if he came close, Han Zhufeng would surely kill him on the spot.

In fact, that first attack was clearly meant to kill him before. It was clear that he had come especially for him in the first place.

It was just due to the discovery of Master Xueyin's soul that he was now distracted.

Tinayu felt that going there at this time might attract that guy's attention to him again.

'Master, be careful. You are a Mahayana Cultivator after all. You should be able to destroy such a low-level array easily.'

At least, the reason prevailed over the heroism as Tinayu backed down a little, not knowing his every movement was within the view of his master.

To be honest, if the person before was a mid-grade foundation cultivator, Zhiran wouldn't hesitate to activate his Divine Physique and try to rescue her.

But the situation was very unfair for him after all. He reasoned that his master would surely understand.

Besides, if the situation really went very badly, Mo Tinayu had already decided to use his last trump card given to him by his mother.

But before that, he wanted to see if his master could eliminate this trouble.

After all, he didn't want to waste such a precious trump card unless necessary.

'Sigh...well, he is still young and weak after all.'

Master Xuyein, who was totally calm even in the face of the shrinking Soul Sealing Runes around her, sighed heavily after seeing the Tianyu backing out.

Just from his body, she could feel what he might be thinking. But, she wasn't that disappointed.

After all, she didn't hope for Tianyu's help at this time anyway. She was the trump card of Tianyu in a sense.

If she needed his help, then what kind of trump card was she?

But still, she couldn't help but feel a faint sense of betrayal, which she immediately put aside.

"Refine!"

As Han Zhufeng voiced eched around, the Soul Sealing Runes were finally activated completely.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, Xuyein felt a strong suction force from all around the array, so strong that she couldn't help but feel breathless.

If it were just a physical or spiritual attack, she mightn't feel much, even if she was in an array. But this was a specifically designed array that was her nemesis after all.

Even if she was the soul of a Mahayana Cultivator, she felt the tug on her soul essence immediately.

Really, if she didn't do anything to get out of here, even she would have to get refined here.

'Well, the little energy I got from that Lotus had to be used now. Sigh...Hope this guy has something that can recover a soul.'

Master Xueyin sighed and then raised her hand suddenly. In an instant, another formless and transparent cauldron condensed before her just like before.

But this time, this Cauldron looked extremely mystical with complex runes circling around its surface rhythmically.

Just a glance, and it looked like a kind of high-grade weapon of sorts, if not for it being transparent and formed with soul power.

Still, it was magnificent nonetheless.

"Hmm? What is that?"

Han Zhufeng also saw the strange cauldron that suddenly appeared inside the array. The runes around it were actually so complex that even he had a hard time understanding.

Such a strange manifestation, all made up of soul power alone. To be honest, it really caught him by surprise as he felt that even his clan head might not be able to do the thing he just witnessed.

Maybe that's why Zhufeng suddenly had a very bad premonition, a premonition of extreme danger.

"Wait...!"

"Explode!"

Unfortunately, before he could even react, though, Master Xueyin's cold voice echoed around apathetically.

Then, just as her voice commanded, the transparent culadron adorned with complex runes expanded outward rapidly before exploding in an instant.

"Boom!"

Surprisingly, the explosion wasn't even as fancy as those palm techniques used by Zhufeng before.

But it was extremely destructive in the sense that it directly cirppled the constraining Soul Sealing Arrays around immidiatley.

There wasn't even a slight resistance as it directly disappeared under the extreme explosion of soul power.

"What?"

The situation was so absurd, Zhufeng was totally surprised beyond belief.

An array that even he couldn't destroy with all his strength at the last stage of the foundation realm was so easily destroyed by a mere explosion.

Of course, he was surprised.

Not to mention that he could still feel that the effect of the explosion wasn't over, as it was heading in his direction menacingly, even now.

"Soul Barrier!"

Zhufeng was totally panicked by seeing such a bizarre scene, so he immediately used the strongest defensive amulet he had.

Fortunately, since he was from a family that was proficient in soul technique, his amulet also had the power to stop soul attacks, unlike others.
