BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 222

In his eyes, a mere Grand Elder of the Flame Demon Valley was nothing at all.

What does it matter if he's only at the half-step Dou Venerate level? As for the position of the alliance leader, he wanted to secure it for himself.

"Hehe, Elder Fang has finally arrived!"

As Fang Yan and the others approached, Mo Tianxing immediately put on a polite smile and said, "Elder Mo has a great presence. Today, many powerful individuals from the Black Horn Domain have gathered here, all because of Elder Mo's call. It's truly stealing the limelight!"

Fang Yan looked at Mo Tianxing with a fake smile and a hint of sarcasm in his words, showing some ambiguity in his attitude towards the leader of the Black Emperor Sect.

Upon hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed in Mo Tianxing's eyes. Behind him, Mo Ya also showed a dark expression at someone daring to disrespect his father.

"Hahaha, Elder Fang, you are mistaken. Everyone's presence here is a gesture of goodwill towards our Black Emperor Sect."

Mo Tianxing smiled and said without minding Fang Yan's offensive words, "Guests are always welcome. Elder Fang, please take a seat."

Suppressing his anger, Mo Tianxing acted generously and didn't take offense at Fang Yan's words.

Fang Yan glanced at Mo Tianxing with a smirk, then found a seat closer to the front.

On the side, Old Man Yingshan coldly glanced at Fang Yan but remained silent.

"Everyone, the purpose of my gathering is probably already clear to you."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Mo Tianxing took the lead in speaking.

Mo Tianxing's gaze swept over the people in the hall, and he said in a deep voice, "Currently, the Soul Hall is indiscriminately slaughtering people in our Black Horn Domain. Even the Medicine Emperor, Han Feng, died tragically at the hands of the Soul Hall. They don't take us seriously at all."

"Wait!"

At this moment, Fang Yan suddenly interrupted Mo Tianxing's words, "Why does Elder Mo think that the Soul Hall is responsible for this matter?"

Mo Tianxing's eyes flashed with a hint of hidden coldness when he was interrupted, but he quickly returned to a smile.

"Elder Fang, please take a look!"

The next moment, he waved his hand, and several corpses suddenly appeared in the hall.

When everyone looked closely, they recognized that these were the bodies of those who had died recently, including Han Feng's corpse.

"I've already investigated, and these people who were killed don't have any fatal injuries on their bodies."

"In such a situation, there's only one possibility, and that is that their souls were extracted!"

Mo Tianxing explained calmly, "And I believe you all understand who has the ability to do such a thing."

As everyone looked at the corpses in the middle of the hall, they fell into silence.

Extracting souls!

Such a mysterious method could only be the work of the Soul Hall, which excelled at soul manipulation.

Mo Tianxing glanced at Fang Yan and said in a somewhat indifferent tone, "Elder Fang, do you still have any doubts?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan shook his head and remained silent.

"Everyone, with the audacity of the Soul Hall, if we don't unite at this time, we will undoubtedly be picked off one by one."

Mo Tianxing continued to scan the crowd and spoke with a heavy tone, "Therefore, I call on everyone to gather and establish the Anti-Soul Alliance to resist the Soul Hall and drive them out of the Black Horn Domain completely."

At this point, Mo Tianxing contemplated for a moment before finally revealing the purpose of this Anti-Soul Alliance gathering, "Currently, even though the Anti-Soul Alliance has been established, a union without a leader is like a country without a ruler. We must select a leader from among us to lead the fight against the Soul Hall."

"For this Anti-Soul Alliance meeting, according to my opinion, we should choose the strongest and most respected leader."

"What do you all think?"

Mo Tianxing finished speaking and returned to his seat with a smile, looking at the people in the hall.

Hearing Mo Tianxing's words, the hall once again erupted into a discussion.

As the leaders of various forces, they were not fools and understood Mo Tianxing's intentions. However, they had to admit that his words made sense.

In the present, within the Black Horn Domain, everyone is in a state of self-preservation. Although an Anti-Soul Alliance has been established, without a powerful leader to give orders, the alliance is merely in name and lacks substance, like scattered sand.

But if Mo Tianxing were to become the leader, then in the future, they would have to obey his commands.

The powerful individuals in the Black Horn Domain are all unruly, and they would not willingly follow someone else's orders, especially since they are the leaders of their respective forces and are accustomed to being in charge.

"Elder Mo, who do you think should hold the position of leader?" Just as the crowd was discussing and hesitating, Fang Yan, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly spoke up.

Mo Tianxing heard this, narrowed his eyes, and then smiled, "In the Black Horn Domain, strength has always been revered. Therefore, I believe that the position of leader should be held by the strongest among us."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan sneered, "Elder Mo broke through to the Dou Ancestor stage more than ten years ago, and his current strength is probably even more terrifying. It seems that Elder Mo is determined to obtain the position of leader."

Mo Tianxing heard this, smiled, and stood up, saying, "I've already said that the position of leader should be held by the strongest among us. As long as someone can defeat me, I will willingly obey their commands."

"Elder Mo's words are quite fair."

Looking at Mo Tianxing, who exuded confidence, Fang Yan's eyes revealed a hint of mockery.

Mo Tianxing didn't mind and looked at the people in the hall, saying, "What do you all think? If anyone wants to compete for the position of leader, feel free to challenge me outside. If they can defeat me, the Black Emperor Sect will willingly acknowledge them as the leader, and I will obey their commands from then on."

Upon hearing this, silence fell over the powerful individuals in the hall.

Facing Mo Tianxing, who possessed the strength of a four-star Dou Ancestor, who would have the courage to challenge him?

If they were treated as tools for intimidation, it would be a tragedy.

As the leaders of various forces, these people naturally dared not take unnecessary risks.

"Hahaha, in my opinion, the position of leader should be mine!"

Just as everyone remained silent, a voice, as if piercing through space, echoed like thunder in the sky, resonating loudly in the area.

"Children of the Black Horn Domain, the ancestor has come, and you don't even come out to greet me? Is this how your elders taught you?"

Hearing the thunderous voice that made people's heads spin, Mo Tianxing's eyes slowly squinted, and he clenched his fist within his sleeve.

"Old Devil of the Earth!"

"You finally came?"

The thunderous shout echoed throughout the hall, and the lingering sound, like the echoes of a chant, sent shivers down everyone's spine.

Not long after the aged voice sounded, figures suddenly darted across the hall, and then one by one, figures appeared outside the Black Emperor Pavilion.

The one leading the way was none other than Fang Yan of the Flame Demon Valley. At this moment, he looked excited as he gazed in the direction of the thunderous voice, then bowed respectfully and said, "Fang Yan pays his respects to the ancestor!"

Lowering their heads slightly, the leaders of various forces exchanged glances, their brows furrowing slightly.

It seemed that this Anti-Soul Alliance meeting was becoming increasingly complicated.

In the void, there stood an elderly figure draped in a skeletal yellow robe. The old man's face was thin to the point of being skeletal, giving him the appearance of a skull. His deeply sunken eyes emitted a faint, eerie gleam, like ghostly flames, exuding an eerie and sinister aura.

This blood-haired old man stood in the void, and whenever his robe fluttered in the wind, the surrounding space would emit subtle ripples. Although these ripples were extremely weak, Mo Tianxing still sensed them, causing his pupils to slightly contract.

Such profound Dou Qi was truly the first he had seen in many years. It appeared that this old devil's strength had become even more terrifying.

A wave of pervasive killing intent emanated from the figure, and a heavy pressure descended from the sky, shrouding the entire Black Emperor Pavilion.

Some of the weaker individuals immediately had a change in their expressions, exchanging glances with a hint of dread in their eyes.

Feeling the oppressive silence that pervaded the void, Mo Tianxing furrowed his brows and looked up at the blood-haired old man. He said slowly, "Elder, it's been so many years, and I didn't expect your strength to have improved so much."

"You are Mo Tianxing."

The old devil of the earth glanced at Mo Tianxing indifferently and said, "I didn't expect that you would also advance to the Dou Ancestor stage. When I saw you back then, you were just an elder at the peak of the Dou Emperor stage. The purpose of my visit today, you should understand. If you're sensible, hand over the position of leader, so I don't have to take matters into my own hands."

Upon hearing this, Mo Tianxing's face darkened.

He hadn't expected that the worst-case scenario he had anticipated would come true.

This old devil of the earth had actually appeared at the Anti-Soul Alliance meeting.

Sensing the ominous aura emanating from the old devil of the earth, Mo Tianxing's heart trembled.

This old demon had been in seclusion for many years, and his strength had become terrifying.

After a moment of silence, Mo Tianxing bowed to the old devil of the earth in the void and said, "Mo Tianxing pays his respects to the leader."

As he spoke, Mo Tianxing's heart was filled with bitterness.

He hadn't expected that all his careful planning and schemes over these years would be used as a bridal gown for this old devil.

"Good!"

"Those who understand the situation are truly wise. Mo Tianxing, you should be grateful for making a smart decision."

Seeing Mo Tianxing submit, the old devil of the earth laughed heartily.

On the side, Fang Yan and the people from the Flame Demon Valley quickly shouted, "We pay our respects to the leader!"

The leaders of the other forces exchanged glances, and then, looking at the domineering old devil of the earth in the void, they all lowered their heads and said in unison, "We pay our respects to the leader!"

"Hahaha!"

"Good!"

"Rest assured, with this old ancestor here, we will ensure your safety!"

At this moment, almost all the powerful individuals in the Black Horn Domain had gathered below.

Now, these powerful individuals were all bowing down and acknowledging the leader.

The old devil of the earth laughed heartily and made a solemn promise.

"Hehehe!"

"A mere old devil of the earth dares to be so arrogant!"

Just at this moment, a harsh laughter suddenly rang out in the void, breaking the tension.

The old devil of the earth's face darkened, and he shouted angrily, "Who dares to be disrespectful? Show yourself!"

"Hehehe!"

"As you wish!"

The piercing voice sounded again, accompanied by a terrifying pressure.

Boom!

A tremendous pressure descended directly on the old devil of the earth in the void, and then everyone saw a strange black mist appearing in the void, seemingly out of nowhere.

In the midst of the black mist, a figure was emitting a cold laugh, facing everyone.

"People from the Soul Palace!"

Seeing the appearance of the black mist in the void, everyone's hearts were filled with shock.

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the black mist, even the old devil of the earth's expression turned solemn, and he no longer displayed his previous arrogance.

"You people from the Soul Palace have gone too far!"

The old devil of the earth spoke in a deep voice to the figure in the black mist.

"Hehehe!"

"You dared to establish the Anti-Soul Alliance and show no respect to our Soul Palace!"

"Those who offend our Soul Palace will not be spared!"

The figure within the black mist ignored the words of the old devil of the earth.

In the next moment, dozens of black chains burst forth from the black mist and swept towards the old devil of the earth.
