Chapter 1231: Chapter 1231: Su Xuan Intercepts

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?”

Guigu stared at Feng Wuchen with an expressionless face.

Even within the Tianshi Immortal Mansion, Guigu showed no fear whatsoever. His strength was such that even if Su Xuan and the others intervened, he remained completely unshaken.

“If Senior Guigu wanted to kill me, I doubt you’d have waited until now. With your cultivation, there have been plenty of opportunities to do so, wouldn’t you agree?” Feng Wuchen remained unperturbed, his expression unchanging and unthreatened.

“You’re that confident, are you?” Guigu sneered faintly, as surging soul power erupted from within him.

Feeling the overwhelming soul power from Guigu, Su Xuan and Zhen Xuantong’s faces suddenly changed, their hearts struck with extreme astonishment.

“Master, make a decision quickly!” Zhen Xuantong anxiously transmitted his voice, unable to act decisively.

“Such formidable soul power—if combined, we still may not be able to compete with Guigu,” Nie Guhong transmitted nervously, his heart rattled with unease.

“Observe and evaluate!” Su Xuan transmitted back, his expression heavy with concern. He dared not act rashly before reaching a critical moment.

“Gulp…”

The disciples of Tianshi Immortal Mansion were utterly terrified, their faces pale as they trembled all over.

“Guigu’s soul power is even more fearsome than the master’s!”

“Celestial Immortal grade! Is this truly the rumored strongest alchemist in the Ling Realm? Terrifying!”

“He’s actually stronger than the master!”

The Tianshi Immortal Mansion disciples were consumed by fear, instinctively retreating step by step.

“Can Sir Feng withstand such formidable soul power?” Mu Tong furrowed his brows and murmured, his expression grave as he fixed his gaze on Feng Wuchen.

In the eerie atmosphere of Tianshi Immortal Mansion, everyone was gripped with terror, their anxious eyes trained on Feng Wuchen and Guigu.

“My soul power can probe your memories. Even if you don’t speak, I’ll still learn everything,” Guigu sneered arrogantly.

The Shengxian Divine Hall’s elder was indeed tyrannical; since Feng Wuchen refused to share willingly, Guigu aimed to snatch it.

“Then go ahead and try.” Feng Wuchen coldly responded, his gaze turning razor-sharp as his own soul power surged to an overwhelming degree.

In an instant, an overpowering wave of soul power enveloped the entire Tianshi Immortal Mansion.

“Celestial Immortal grade soul power!” Feeling the crushing aura of Feng Wuchen’s soul power, Guigu’s old face abruptly changed, his heart secretly shaken.

“What’s going on with his soul power? During the Artifact Refining Conference, he had only just reached the Celestial Immortal grade level. Yet now it’s grown even stronger? How could he enhance his soul power so significantly in such a short time?” Guigu pondered in growing shock.

“Celestial Immortal grade soul power!” The disciples of Tianshi Immortal Mansion exclaimed in unison.

Su Xuan froze, his mind reeling as he thought, “In less than half a month since the Artifact Refining Conference, Sir Feng’s soul power has improved noticeably. This domineering soul force now surpasses my own—there’s a chance he truly may contend with Guigu!”

“Sir Feng possesses such a tyrannical soul power!” Zhen Xuantong, Nie Guhong, and other high-ranking members couldn’t help but be utterly startled.

Fixing his sharp glare on Guigu, Feng Wuchen spoke chillingly, “If Senior Guigu wishes to test, you may proceed at any time.”

“I’ll see just how capable you truly are!” Guigu growled fiercely. As a revered elder of the Shengxian Divine Hall, how could he allow himself to be intimidated by a junior?

With that, Guigu abruptly unleashed a torrent of violent soul power, directing it straight towards Feng Wuchen.

“Fall back!” Su Xuan urgently ordered, prompting the high-ranking members to swiftly retreat. No one dared stay behind.

Feng Wuchen emitted a faintly cold snort, refusing to back down as he unleashed his soul power—imposing like a tsunami—head-on against Guigu’s wave.

“Boom!”

The two terrifying forces of soul power collided instantly, exploding with a deafening roar. Waves of surging soul power swept wildly outward, forcing both Feng Wuchen and Guigu to retreat dozens of steps.

The ferocious clash revealed that their soul powers were evenly matched.

Thanks to their timely retreat, Su Xuan and the others narrowly avoided the devastating impact of the colliding soul powers.

“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”

Numerous disciples from the inscription master ranks collapsed to the ground, blood spattering from their mouths as the violent waves struck them.

“His soul power is this domineering—my soul force wasn’t able to suppress him at all,” Guigu’s heart trembled in disbelief, shocked that even with his full effort, he failed to subdue Feng Wuchen.

Guigu found it almost impossible to fathom how a young junior could possess soul power of such profound depth.

“Sir Feng can truly stand equal to Guigu’s soul force!” Liu Canghai couldn’t help but exclaim aloud.

“Sir Feng’s soul power is far too overwhelming—it’s already surpassed the master!” Zhen Xuantong’s face turned rigid with dread, his expression frozen.

“The sheer intensity of Sir Feng’s soul force is simply beyond imagination!” The disciples of Tianshi Immortal Mansion continued with anxious cries, their faces pale as their identities as inscription masters allowed them to keenly sense the terrifying weight of Feng Wuchen’s soul force.

“Such thick and profound soul power—this old man is truly remarkable. No wonder he’s hailed as the strongest alchemist in the Ling Realm,” Feng Wuchen murmured in surprise as he steadied himself.

The fierce confrontation left Feng Wuchen’s soul body quivering violently, nearly sustaining damage.

“Senior Guigu’s soul force is impressive, but to extract my memories—despite your abilities—it seems unlikely you could succeed,” Feng Wuchen remarked with subtle amusement.

Guigu’s face darkened. To be the Ling Realm’s strongest alchemist, yet unable to overcome a mere junior, was mortifying.

“Hmph!” Guigu snorted heavily, his narrowed gaze sharpening before his figure exploded forth with blinding speed, exuding a towering aura.

Having failed with soul power, Guigu decided to resort to physical combat. He refused to believe that, with his late Heavenly Emperor-stage cultivation, he couldn’t suppress Feng Wuchen.

“Master, be careful!” The Dragon God Sword’s spirit warned in a voice of urgency.

Feng Wuchen’s face remained icy, as he once again mobilized his unrelenting soul power, prepared to fight directly against Guigu.

“Swish!”

Just then, Su Xuan abruptly intervened, positioning himself to block Guigu with swift precision.

“Su Xuan, do you dare meddle in my affairs? Have you forgotten that Tianshi Immortal Mansion has already aligned itself with the Heavenly Sovereign? Are you attempting rebellion?” Guigu snarled coldly, his venomous eyes narrowing in warning at Su Xuan.

“Senior Guigu misunderstands. Tianshi Immortal Mansion has never claimed commitment—we merely bow in compliance to the Heavenly Sovereign out of necessity. If Senior Guigu wishes to engage in a contest of soul power, the mansion would certainly not interfere. But physical combat is different—I’m afraid our rules must be respected. Moreover, Tianshi Immortal Mansion cannot withstand your destructive power,” Su Xuan responded with a calm smile.

Su Xuan’s intervention showed he had indeed made his decision.

“Senior Guigu, the master speaks wisely. The rules of the Tianshi Immortal Mansion cannot be disregarded,” Zhen Xuantong stepped forward in agreement.

Seeing this, Guigu’s face grew increasingly stern as he said grimly, “Su Xuan, I hope you’ve thought this through carefully. Don’t make a foolish decision that jeopardizes the Tianshi Immortal Mansion.”

Guigu clearly saw through Su Xuan’s intentions—to protect Feng Wuchen.

“If Senior Guigu wishes to fight, you may do so elsewhere—we shall not interfere. But within Tianshi Immortal Mansion, I ask you to honor our guidelines,” Su Xuan said coolly.
