Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Just then, a terrifying wave descended into the hall, followed by a familiar voice: "Where is the local hall master?"

Mo Shang looked up in surprise, staring at the familiar figure in the main hall. In that figure's arms, a white-clad figure stood out starkly…

Chapter 211 Killing the Two Venerables!

Inside a branch of the Soul Palace in the Western Regions of Central China, Mo Shang looked at the Star-Picking Old Ghost and the heavily injured Bai Tianzun who had appeared in the Soul Palace, his expression behind the mask extremely complicated.

"Where is the local temple lord?"

The old ghost Zhaixing appeared in the hall, and his powerful aura instantly attracted the attention of the Soul Palace experts present. Many experts appeared in the hall and surrounded the old ghost Zhaixing and Bai Tianzun.

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the Old Ghost of Star Picking, many Soul Hall experts' expressions changed slightly, and they all looked at Mo Shang sitting above.

"stop!"

Mo Shang sensed the gazes of the Soul Hall experts around him, raised his hand to stop them from moving, then his gaze fell on Old Ghost Zhaixing. Feigning a puzzled look, he asked, "May I ask who you are...?"

"Humph!"

Old Ghost Zhaixing snorted coldly and said nothing more. A white jade tablet flew out of his hand and was caught by Mo Shang.

"See my lord!"

Mo Shang looked at the jade token in his hand, glanced at it, and his expression suddenly changed drastically. He looked shocked and hurriedly stepped down from his seat above, respectfully bowed to the old ghost Zhaixing, and said, "My lord, due to the changes in Saint Pill City, the local palace master has fallen. I have been ordered to temporarily take over the position of palace master."

Then, Mo Shang glanced at Bai Tianzun in the arms of the old ghost Zhaixing and respectfully said, "I see that this lord seems to be seriously injured. The place for healing in the hall is quite good. Why don't we take this lord there first?"

"Ok!"

When the old ghost who was picking stars heard Mo Shang's reply, he looked Mo Shang up and down. The person in front of him was only at the peak of the Dou Zong realm, yet he was able to become the acting hall master of this branch hall? He must have a remarkable background supporting him.

Old Ghost Zhaixing naturally knew that to become a branch hall master, one had to reach at least the Dou Zun realm; even if one was only a acting hall master, if one's strength was not convincing, no one in the Soul Hall would obey him.

However, judging from the reactions of the group of powerful figures who appeared earlier, they clearly had great faith in the person in front of them.

Therefore, Old Ghost Zhaixing believed that Mo Shang had gotten his position by relying on the power behind him.

However, healing Bai Tianzun was more important at the moment, so Zhaixing Laogui didn't investigate further and followed Mo Shang into the depths of the palace.

Soon, Mo Shang led the Old Ghost Zhaixing to a huge icy pool at the back of the hall. The pool was filled with chilling energy, and the surrounding energy was abundant.

"Icy Crystal Pool?"

Looking at the icy pool before him, the old ghost of the stars showed a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected that there would be such a healing treasure within this branch hall.

"Hehe, these are all things left behind by our predecessors. Now, they can be put to good use by this sir!"

Mo Shang smiled and bowed to the old ghost who plucked stars. But beneath the mask on his face, and in the dark, empty spaces around his eyes, a cold glint seemed to flash within them…

Seeing this, the Old Ghost of Stars nodded slightly, placed Bai Tianzun in his arms into the cold pool, and then stretched out his hand, his surging battle qi carrying the energy of the cold pool, slowly injecting it into Bai Tianzun's body.

Mo Shang gazed at Bai Tianzun in the icy pool, a slight smile playing on his lips beneath his mask. After scrutinizing him closely, he addressed the Old Ghost Zhaixing: "My lords, I shall take my leave now. Please rest and heal your wounds here in peace..."

"it is good!"

Old Ghost Zhaixing nodded slightly. He had also suffered serious injuries. Now that Bai Tianzun's injuries had stabilized, he could take this opportunity to recover here.

Looking at Mo Shang, the Old Ghost of the Stars said, "Don't worry, I have already notified the experts in the hall. They will be able to arrive in two days. I will make sure that everything you spend is worthwhile."

"Thank you very much, senior. Consider these gifts a token of my respect to you both. There's no need for such formalities..."

When the old ghost who picks stars heard Mo Shang's words, he looked up and sized Mo Shang up and down, nodded slightly, and then said nothing more.

Seeing this, Mo Shang wisely refrained from further words and bowed as he withdrew.

After leaving the back of the main hall, Mo Shang immediately summoned all the Soul Hall experts inside. Looking at them, Mo Shang instructed, "These two are both masters of the hall, and they are currently healing here. Everyone, disperse around the area and be on guard. Form groups of three, and no one is allowed to leave the group without permission or for any reason. If there is any disturbance, immediately raise the alarm!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Mo Shang's instructions, the many powerful figures nodded and quickly formed their own teams, beginning to prepare for the positions Mo Shang had assigned them.

Mo Shang watched the departing crowd of powerful figures, then turned slightly with his masked body before landing above the main hall, where he became alert.

Secretly, Old Ghost Zhaixing withdrew his soul power, which had been focused on Mo Shang, and sighed inwardly, "Well arranged, three people per team, to prevent anyone from getting lost and leaking information. This kid is a promising talent..."

Afterwards, Old Ghost Zhaixing withdrew his soul power from his secret observation and entered the icy pool. A massive amount of energy surged into his body, continuously repairing his injuries.

Above the main hall, the feeling of being secretly watched disappeared, and the expression under the mask turned cold.

With the soul power of an eighth-grade alchemist, how could he not sense the old ghost Zhaixing's spying? How laughable!

Mo Shang's lips curled into a disdainful smile, then his gaze fell upon the heavily injured Bai Tianzun behind the main hall. Truly, he had gained him effortlessly...

However, if you want to take action against someone, you need to find a good excuse first...

The experts from the Soul Palace will arrive in two days, so Mo Shang pondered for a moment and silently thought, "It seems it's time to advance to the Dou Zun level..."

Since the battle of Saint Pill City, Mo Shang has been planning to break through to the Dou Zun level.

Because of his own strength, he had already reached the level of understanding of Dou Zun. To break through to Dou Zun, he only needed enough energy. The reason he became the acting hall master here was because a Dou Zun in the hall died, so he was promoted to acting hall master.

Once he advances to the Dou Zun level, he will be able to remove the "Dai" (代) designation.

Mo Shang had originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to break through, but now it seems that this is the most opportune time...

Having made up his mind, Mo Shang's heart stirred slightly, and he began to continuously construct the aura fluctuations that would signal his breakthrough.

"Shh!"

On a dark and windy night, a dark shadow streaked across the sky, but under the cover of darkness, none of the powerful figures noticed it.

This person is none other than Mo Shang.

A day had passed since the old ghost of the stars led Bai Tianzun into the cold pool. Mo Shang moved slightly and sneaked towards a position guarded by powerful figures inside the hall.

Soon, three high-level Dou Zong appeared in Mo Shang's perception.

Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Shang concealed his presence under the cover of the Chaos Fire, his dark flames perfectly hiding his figure in the night as he approached the three of them.

"Pfft..."

Approaching within striking distance, Mo Shang subtly moved, his battle qi transforming into a sharp sword, instantly stabbing the two figures to death. The stench of blood was also concealed by his battle qi.

Then, before the third figure could react, pitch-black flames surged up from the ground, burning him to ashes and causing him to disappear from the world.

Then, Mo Shang looked back at the two corpses in front of him, carefully moved them aside using his battle qi, but as he moved them, he dripped a drop of blood onto the ground, letting it seep into the soil...

After finishing all the preparations, Mo Shang looked at the two corpses that were no longer of any use, and with a wave of his hand, the corpses turned into ashes.

Having finished dealing with the matter, Mo Shang turned back towards the main hall, his figure flashing as he entered the hall in the blink of an eye.

In a few flashes, Mo Shang reappeared at the location of the Cold Pool. Looking at the Star-Picking Old Ghost and Bai Tianzun healing in the Cold Pool, Mo Shang narrowed his eyes. This time, no one was keeping watch for the two of them.

Under the cover of the Chaos Fire, even though Mo Shang had already appeared at the edge of the Cold Pool, neither the Star-Picking Old Ghost nor the White Venerable, who were healing, felt anything.

"Zheng!"

Mo Shang moved swiftly, and two short swords appeared in his hands. He instantly approached Zhaixing Laogui and Bai Tianzun, the black throat flame talisman on the short swords, and thrust them toward the throats of the two men.

"Shh!"

During the day, Zhaixing Laogui lost consciousness due to his injuries and showed no reaction whatsoever. However, at the last moment, he suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, looked at the short knife that had already slashed his throat, and his eyes showed panic. His fighting spirit suddenly brewed within him, and he wanted to fight back.

However........

That's all.

"Pfft!"

Mo Shang easily pierced the throat of the old ghost Zhaixing with his short knife. In the blink of an eye, pitch-black flames roared out, instantly obliterating the old ghost's soul.

The old ghost who picks stars, Bai Tianzun, a five-star Dou Zun and a six-star Dou Zun, died silently under Mo Shang's ambush.

Looking at the two cold corpses in the icy pool, Mo Shang waved his hand and put the corpses of Zhaixing Old Ghost and Bai Tianzun into his storage ring.

"Two complete corpses of Dou Zun experts, not bad..."

After doing all this, Mo Shang returned to the top of the main hall, put away the puppet that had been placed there to confuse everyone, sat down cross-legged, and his fighting spirit surged and churned within him. A terrifying aura continuously emanated from his body, and all the Soul Hall experts on guard in the distance noticed the fluctuations in his aura.

"This aura... he's about to break through to the Dou Zun realm!"

"What terrifying talent! At such a young age, Mo Shang should already be far superior to everyone else in the palace's rankings..."

Sensing the aura emanating from the person in the main hall, many powerful figures showed a hint of envy on their faces, but then said nothing more.

Continue to follow Mo Shang's previous instructions, and be wary of your surroundings.

"presumptuous!"

After a while, Mo Shang's strength stabilized at the Dou Zun realm. He suddenly shouted a rebuke, and then the hidden Soul Hall experts immediately appeared, looking at Mo Shang with surprise.

Then, everyone was shocked to discover that one of the Soul Hall experts who were secretly on guard seemed to be missing.

Mo Shang led the group to the location of the missing team. One of the Dou Zong experts' expressions changed. He sniffed the air and said, "There's a smell of blood!"

Chapter 212 Young Pavilion Master

Upon hearing the words of this Dou Zong expert, the expressions of many Soul Hall experts changed.

This person is named Hai Miao. He cultivates a blood-path technique and is extremely sensitive to blood, so he can detect traces that others have overlooked. Within the Soul Palace, he is also a highly skilled tracker.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Hai Miao sniffed and slowly walked toward the place where the three Soul Hall experts were lying in ambush, turning his head repeatedly as if to confirm something.

Soon, he arrived at the location where the Soul Hall expert had died. A cold smile flashed in his eyes. He reached out and grabbed a handful of soil in front of him. His fighting spirit surged, and a drop of blood was extracted from the soil.

Seeing the blood on his hand, everyone's expression changed, and they began to look at each other warily.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the blood in Hai Miao's hand gradually split under his control, and then a very thin thread of blood was peeled out from it, which Hai Miao opened his mouth and swallowed directly.
