Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie deliberately spared the lives of three Soul Hunters, hoping to extract useful information from them.

However, these three fellows, apart from glaring at him with chilling eyes, refused to utter a single word.

No matter what methods he employed.

The three Soul Hunters were tortured beyond recognition, their bodies broken, bones shattered, tendons twisted, in unbearable agony.

Although they screamed in pain, their eyes remained cold and fierce, unwilling to reveal anything.

“It's useless. Since ancient times, no one has ever been able to obtain any information about the Soul Hunter Hall organization from a Soul Hunter's mouth…”

The silver-haired girl said, as a Holy Maiden of the Medicine King Sect, she had heard the elders of the sect mention the mysterious and terrifying organization of the Soul Hunter Hall in her childhood.

Later, she had seen fragments of information about the Soul Hunter Hall in certain ancient books.

This made her understanding of this organization greater than that of her sect elders.

“Jun Wuxie, Su Xiaoxiao, you cannot escape your predetermined fate! Once you are targeted by our Soul Hunter Hall, no one can escape!”

The Soul Hunter sneered coldly.

“Is that so? Then what about Yan Qingcheng, the current head of the Enchanting Eye Clan?” Jun Wuxie retorted with a sneer, “Back then, didn't you fail as well?”

“Yan Qingcheng?” The Soul Hunter said with a sinister tone, “She did escape a calamity back then, but her soul is destined to enter the Soul Hunter's Cage, and her origin will surely become a sacrificial offering! In the future, there will naturally be Soul Hunters of corresponding levels to hunt her down!”

“You're spouting harsh words under my feet, don't you find it ridiculous?” Jun Wuxie stepped on a Soul Hunter, leaned down, and said in a cold voice, “Since you have designated me as a target, then as long as I am alive in this world, I will be irreconcilable with you! Let's see if you hunt me down, or if I counter-hunt you!”

After he finished speaking, he snapped the Soul Hunter's neck with one foot.

Immediately afterward, he struck out in succession, killing all three Soul Hunters.

He shifted his gaze from the Soul Hunters, looking at the pale-faced silver-haired girl, and said, “Holy Maiden, is your injury alright?”

The silver-haired girl smiled sweetly upon hearing this, her bright, sparkling eyes looking at him with radiance, and said, “Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Su Xiaoxiao, you can call me Xiaoxiao in the future.”

“Hello, Holy Maiden Xiaoxiao, my name is Jun Wuxie, Su Lan should have told you about my situation.”

“Ah, you, I already told you to call me Xiaoxiao, what Holy Maiden Xiaoxiao, it sounds so strange.”

She looked at Jun Wuxie with a huff, her face full of娇憨(jiāo hān) appearance, but a hint of cunning flashed in her agile eyes.

“Alright, Xiaoxiao.”

Jun Wuxie sized her up.

This little Holy Maiden looked only twelve or thirteen years old, with a round face, delicate features, a bit of baby fat, not even as tall as his shoulder, but she had a figure that completely mismatched her age, with prominent curves.

He couldn't help but wonder what the people of the Medicine King Sect ate from childhood, their nutrition was so good?

This girl was only in her teens, and the clothes on her chest were about to burst!

“Hey, what are you looking at!” Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms, blocking her most proud parts, and said with a blushing face, “Why didn't Su Lan tell me that you are such a pervert!”

Jun Wuxie was speechless, actually being called a lecher.

He only glanced at her.

Mainly, this little loli's figure was really too mismatched for her age.

He was just curious, are the kids nowadays developing so well?

“Tell me, where does the Soul Hunter Hall find its people, each and every one of them is a genius-level talent, and dozens of them appear at random!”

He quickly changed the topic, lest he really be regarded as a pervert.

“That's what everyone in the world who knows about the Soul Hunter Hall is wondering. It is said that there are thousands of low-level Soul Hunters in the Soul Hunter Hall! Each person has genius-level talent for growth, and the Soul Hunters above the low-level have even higher talent!”

“Thousands?”

The corner of Jun Wuxie's eye twitched violently.

He was shocked!

There are thousands of genius-level low-level Soul Hunters?

What kind of terrifying scale does this Soul Hunter Hall have, what kind of foundation does it have, to be able to achieve this level?

He squatted down and tore off the masks and black hats of the three Soul Hunters.

Three slightly pale faces appeared before him.

They looked no different from ordinary people.

But Jun Wuxie felt a little strange.

Looking at these faces, he inexplicably had a strange and sinister feeling in his heart.

Even, the originally normal faces became incomparably hideous and evil in his eyes.

He was stunned, feeling shocked in his heart.

Is this his illusion, or is it because he hates Soul Hunters, so he finds their faces hateful, evil, and sinister?

“No… ”

He denied the thought in his heart, it couldn't be an illusion, and it was definitely not because they were Soul Hunters that he felt evil and sinister.

But they really gave him that feeling, as if it touched something in his heart.

“Hey, what's wrong with you?”

Su Xiaoxiao saw him staring blankly and waved her hand in front of him.

“Hmm?” Jun Wuxie came back to his senses and said, “It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what kind of organization this Soul Hunter Hall is…”

As he spoke, he began to examine the Soul Hunters.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

With a flick of his fingers, a ray of golden light flashed, shaving the hair of the three Soul Hunters close to their scalps.

“What did you find?”

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled, there was nothing strange about the three bald heads.

“Didn't you really feel anything wrong?”

Jun Wuxie looked at Su Xiaoxiao and Su Lan, and seeing their blank expressions, he immediately grabbed their hands and touched the center of a Soul Hunter's crown, saying, “Feel it carefully, do you feel anything unusual?”

“No!”

They both looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Jun Wuxie frowned, why didn't they feel anything wrong?

But he clearly felt an unusual aura, sinister and evil, at the position of the Soul Hunter's crown!

He didn't say any more, and shattered the crown of a Soul Hunter with one palm.

Immediately afterward, he sucked with his hand.

A two-inch-long black-red triangular iron nail flew out with a smear of blood.

“What is this thing?”

Su Xiaoxiao and Su Lan's expressions changed, and they couldn't help but shiver.

Strands of sinister and evil aura emanated from the iron nail, causing people to feel cold all over involuntarily.

The iron nail was triangular rhomboid, covered with mysterious and eerie runes.

Those runes were full of evil and sinister!

Jun Wuxie didn't speak, he quickly struck out, smashing the crowns of the other two Soul Hunters.

Sure enough, all three Soul Hunters had such iron nails in their heads!

Jun Wuxie carefully observed the three identical iron nails, feeling the evil and sinister power contained within the runes, his expression incomparably solemn.

“Quick! We must leave here immediately!”

He came back to his senses, released his soldier's fire, burned the three corpses, and then took Su Lan and Su Xiaoxiao away like a gust of wind.

He only let them go after running hundreds of miles.

Su Xiaoxiao and Su Lan were still in shock, not knowing what had happened.

“I think we have discovered a secret of the Soul Hunter Hall!” Jun Wuxie said in a deep voice, “Why can they cultivate thousands of extremely loyal genius-level low-level Soul Hunters? It is very likely because of that iron nail!”

Su Xiaoxiao reacted and said, “Are you saying that the Soul Hunter Hall forcibly raised the talent level of the Soul Hunters with that kind of iron nail?”

“It's hard to say!” Jun Wuxie said after a moment of silence, “This is just my guess, they may be using this method to improve the talent of the Soul Hunters, or the power of those Soul Hunters may come from those iron nails! Or rather, the strange runes on the iron nails!”

“This…”

Su Xiaoxiao and Su Lan were stunned.

It felt like this matter was like a fantasy.

There is such a method in this world?

Can iron nails engraved with runes forcibly improve the qualifications of warriors?

Su Xiaoxiao said, “If that's really the case, then it's too scary…”

“That's right!” Jun Wuxie nodded and said, “If this is the case, then it means that they can mass-produce genius-level, or even higher-growth-talent Soul Hunters, which is fatal to any target they want to hunt down!”

“Even so, it is impossible for them to create Soul Hunters endlessly…” Su Xiaoxiao said, “The Soul Hunter Hall's Soul Hunter level division has low-level, primary-level, intermediate-level, high-level, special-level, and super-level. The higher the level, the fewer the number of people.”

Jun Wuxie asked, “How many people do they have in total? Is the information you know accurate?”

“I can't guarantee whether it's accurate. What we know is that they have 7,200 low-level Soul Hunters, 3,600 intermediate-level Soul Hunters, 1,800 high-level Soul Hunters, 180 special-level Soul Hunters, and 90 super-level Soul Hunters! This is what we saw in a notebook, which should have been recorded by a strong person before the ages. That strong person said that the number of Soul Hunters at each level in the Soul Hunter Hall is constant, and after the number is missing, it will be replenished within a few years!”

“Being able to cultivate high-level Soul Hunters within a few years shows that they do have the means to mass-produce strong people! Thinking of the rune iron nails you mentioned, now that I think about it, I'm afraid that's really the case…”

“What kind of organization is this Soul Hunter Hall?” Jun Wuxie felt heavy-hearted, “Fortunately, the world is vast, and although their numbers are extremely alarming, they are distributed in different regions, and it is not impossible to contend with them in the future!”

“Contend with the Soul Hunter Hall?”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Jun Wuxie in astonishment.

This Dongtian Realm warrior actually wants to contend with the Soul Hunter Hall, a existence that has existed for thousands of years and has brought darkness and disaster to many eras in the future!

So many Dominator-level powerhouses throughout the long years have been unable to do anything about the Soul Hunting Hall. They basically avoid it like the plague, trying their best not to provoke it, filled with immense dread.

And now, a martial artist in the Dongtian realm actually has such lofty aspirations.

She doesn't know if this is confidence, or ignorance that breeds fearlessness…
