Chapter 547: Releasing a Horde of Hall of Souls' Sky Demon Puppets!
"Hmph~"
Gu You's lips twitched slightly as he cast a disdainful glare, letting out a cold snort to vent his growing fury.
"Wu Tian, don't be too full of yourself. You're dead this time. Soon…"
As Gu You's voice echoed through the transmission, Wu Tian's face broke into a kind and serene smile. Then, in front of countless eyes, he calmly raised his thumb, gently twisted it, and pointed it downward.
"Heh~ Gu You, I've already told you before the pills refined by your Hall of Souls are too low-grade!"
As his finger pointed down, his hearty laughter resonated across the sky, leaving everyone in stunned silence.
Eight-Colored Dan Thunder… Five-Colored Dan Thunder…
Were these now considered low-grade pills?
Only this man had the qualifications to make such a statement!
Wu Tian's mocking gesture, coupled with his utter disregard, turned Gu You's face as dark as iron.
This was beyond humiliating.
How long had it been… since he had felt this level of frustration?
As the Hall of Souls' external representative, Gu You had always held an exalted status. He looked down upon everyone, because he had the strength to do so.
Of course, this did not include the Ancient Eight Clans or the Three Great Beast Tribes.
But outside of them, Gu You was undoubtedly one of the most dominant forces on the Dou Qi Continent.
Yet, ever since the emergence of the Cai Lin Pavilion, his status had been crumbling.
And now, with this Alchemy Conference… it had shattered completely.
But at least… there was some comfort in knowing the Hall of Souls had taken this threat seriously.
They had even dispatched the Grand Sky Venerate a true Dou Saint, far stronger than Huo Yun Laozu of the Burning Flame Valley!
This was Gu You's only consolation.
Because at this moment he couldn't take it anymore.
The fury inside him had built to its absolute limit.
His rage burned so fiercely that
"Pfft!"
Gu You vomited blood on the spot.
Silence.
Utter silence.
Gu You… had been angered into coughing up blood.
The entire Hall of Souls' delegation was stunned.
First, they lost the Heavenly Flame.
Then, they lost the championship.
Now, their most dignified envoy was being publicly ridiculed.
For the first time in over a century Gu You felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He finally understood the despair that Mu Gu had felt before his death.
And honestly?
Mu Gu's suffering must have been even worse.
Because at least… Gu You wasn't completely alone.
At least… he still had backing.
If the sky fell, there were bigger figures to take the hit.
But Gu You himself?
He couldn't handle this anymore.
Even though he accepted his loss his mouth refused to acknowledge it.
That was just his nature.
After all, with powerful figures behind him, his words could remain as arrogant as ever.
"Wu Tian, don't get too cocky! The Alchemy Conference isn't over yet! Do you really think you can withstand Nine-Colored Dan Thunder so easily?!"
Wu Tian looked at Gu You, clearly unimpressed.
This old man had been angered into unlocking his "Chatty Child Mode."
But he wasn't done.
"Do you really think I, Wu Tian, can't handle something as insignificant as Dan Thunder? I'm not like you coughing up blood at the slightest provocation."
The sheer disdain in Wu Tian's words nearly made Gu You vomit blood again.
But this time he swallowed it down.
No.
He refused to give Wu Tian the satisfaction.
The entire audience, however, had mixed emotions.
A Half-Saint powerhouse was being called trash.
What did that make them?
Were they nothing more than garbage?!
But then
A shocking revelation.
Gu You's outburst had accidentally exposed something incredible
Wu Tian was not a Dou Zun, nor a Half-Saint…
He was a Dou Saint!
A Dou Saint!!!
Saints and Half-Saints were separated by a single word
But the difference between them was like heaven and earth.
The name "Yan Zun" no longer suited him.
"Yan Sheng" was more fitting.
Gu You's face twisted in anger.
Wu Tian frowned.
This old fool was talking way too much.
And just as the Nine-Colored Dan Thunder rumbled in the sky, the most critical moment had arrived
It was time to withstand the Dan Thunder.
The people of Holy Pill City were about to witness something legendary.
Unlike ordinary alchemists, who struggled with Five-Colored Dan Thunder
This was Nine-Colored Dan Thunder.
A mythical event.
And just as Gu You was about to continue his rambling
Wu Tian waved his sleeve.
And threw out several shadowy figures!
These figures landed with a thud, standing eerily still.
Their bodies gleamed with a metallic silver sheen, exuding an unsettling aura.
The moment Gu You recognized them, his eyes widened in horror.
His spine went cold.
Because
These figures were from the Hall of Souls.
Among them
One face was painfully familiar.
A white-haired elder.
A man who had once stood second only to Gu You himself.
The Third Sky Venerate!
And beside him
The Ninth Sky Venerate.
"The Third Sky Venerate… and the Ninth Sky Venerate… How is this possible?"
The remaining Hall of Souls' members paled in terror.
"What?!"
"Those… those are our people?!"
"The Third and Ninth Sky Venerates are dead?!"
Even the Eight Great Elders of the Pill Tower were dumbfounded.
The once-feared Third and Ninth Sky Venerates
Were now puppets.
This was the ultimate slap in the face to the Hall of Souls.
Their prestigious warriors
Had been turned into Sky Demon Puppets.
Wu Tian smirked.
For the Hall of Souls, the best possible fate was to "remain useful".
And what better use than to serve as lightning rods?
It was the perfect strategy.
And as an added bonus
It would utterly enrage Gu You.
"You've gone too far, Wu Tian!!! How dare you turn them into puppets?!"
Gu You roared in fury.
Wu Tian's eyes gleamed mischievously.
"Hmm? Yes, I did. This is my masterpiece Sky Demon Puppets."
He shrugged casually.
"Honestly, I really didn't want to deal with this annoying Dan Thunder myself. But luckily, you Hall of Souls people can do it for me!"
Wu Tian's lips curled into a devilish smile.
"...!!"
"Pfft!!!"
Gu You spat out another mouthful of blood.
Wu Tian chuckled.
"At this rate, Gu You might just break Xiao Yan's record for most times vomiting blood."
Xiao Yan: (⊙o⊙)…
"Huh???"
