Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 615: The Schemes of Withered Soul

"Friend Ku Hun, if this is true, it should be top secret. How did you come to know about it?" Chu Nan sensed the gravity of the matter and immediately regarded it with importance.

Ku Hun let out a bitter laugh, then said, "Of course, I know because I was once the First Hall Master's target for body-snatching."

"Unfortunately for him, my primary cultivation is in the Soul Dao, and my soul's resistance is incredibly strong, which even ended up injuring the First Hall Master, causing his plan to fail."

"After the incident, I was worried about the First Hall Master's revenge, so I spared no expense in advancing my Soul Dao Cultivation and placed Split Souls throughout the Celestial Crossing Realm to warn the First Hall Master that if he dared make a move, I would reveal his secret to the entire Celestial Crossing Realm with my Split Souls."

"By that time, the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall would inevitably collapse, and this old monster who specializes in body-snatching would ultimately be dealt with by the Ancestor Sect, and even the Qin Kingdom wouldn't spare him."

"After all, no one could allow someone to preserve their life through infinite body-snatching; it's a threat to everyone."

Chu Nan showed a pensive expression, remembering the day he went to see the First Hall Master, those eyes and posture he could never forget.

To ensure his safety, the First Hall Master even gave him the Blood Sacrifice Array Plate to deal with any dangers.

Now it seems that Blood Sacrifice Array Plate might be problematic. If used, it could become one of the materials the First Hall Master uses for body-snatching.

"The First Hall Master didn't dare to kill me, but he also didn't want me to grow strong enough to escape his control, so he put a restriction on me to permanently lock my cultivation at the seventh heaven." Ku Hun spread his hands, revealing the seven layers of the Sea of Clouds.

Chu Nan clearly saw the rigid chains atop the seven layers of the Sea of Clouds, suppressing the advancement of Ku Hun's cultivation.

Instantly, Chu Nan understood. It made no sense that someone who could cultivate the Soul Dao to the extreme, even surpassing the limits and reaching the Saint level, would have their cultivation eternally stuck at the seventh heaven.

It turned out that Ku Hun's cultivation had been sealed. Besides advancing his Soul Dao, he had no other choice. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"What do you plan to do next? Are you hoping that I will cooperate with you to kill the First Hall Master?" Chu Nan asked tentatively, thinking it was impossible.

A martial artist of the ninth heaven is immensely powerful, with limitless means, not to mention someone who has lived for over five thousand years.

Who knows how many methods the First Hall Master has accumulated over the years with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

Even if Emperor Qin and the Supreme Sect Leader joined forces to attack the First Hall Master, they could potentially defeat him, but not kill him.

If Ku Hun harbored such fantastical notions of killing the First Hall Master, Chu Nan would leave without hesitation.

Working with a madman like that is suicidal!

"Of course not, I'm not that insane." Ku Hun said, "In fact, many Hall Masters of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall secretly harbor dissatisfaction with the First Hall Master."

"The First Hall Master has held that position for too long, and everyone wants to replace him."

"This exploration of the Main Hall is an opportunity. You have the Ancestral Bloodline, and if you can open the Main Hall's final inheritance, everyone will have the strength to contend with the First Hall Master."

"If we can control the entire Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, at a minimum, we can protect ourselves from the First Hall Master."

After hearing Ku Hun's words, Chu Nan wasn't too surprised. From the previous actions of Lan Zhanhan and the Fourth Hall Master, it was evident that the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall appeared unified, but in truth, everyone harbored their own intentions.

Everyone wanted to take advantage of this opening of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall to challenge the First Hall Master, or even replace him.

They had already become restless, and the internal division was Chu Nan's opportunity.

Chu Nan felt that if he could take advantage of their disunity, and confront them one by one, along with the Supreme Sect Leader Lu Daochang, success would be achievable!

"So what exactly should be done?" Chu Nan looked at Ku Hun, knowing that this old fellow had been trying to win him over ever since he became the Ninth Hall Master.

Additionally, Lan Zhanhan wanted to seize the Ancestral Bloodline, all of which proved that the Ancestral Bloodline was indispensable if one wanted to deal with the First Hall Master.

Even the First Hall Master had to take him seriously; Chu Nan's identity was unique and a target everyone was vying to win over.

Ku Hun was silent for a moment, then spoke with a serious expression: "In fact, it's quite simple. When the Main Hall opens, aside from the normal exploration, we need to head to the portal of inheritance deep within the Main Hall."

"Only the aura of the Ancestral Bloodline can open it, and you, who open that portal, will hold the greatest advantage!"

"You, who can open the portal, will have greater control over the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall than the First Hall Master. At that time, you need only use the power of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall to suppress the First Hall Master for a moment, and then I'll use my Saint-level Soul Power to seal the First Hall Master's soul for the time it takes an incense stick to burn!"

"Once the First Hall Master loses his combat strength, we close the portal and explore the area behind the Gate of Inheritance alone, completely seizing control of the Yellow Wilderness Ancient Holy Hall."

"By that time, all will be settled, and even if the First Hall Master refuses to accept it, he will be powerless to do anything."

Chu Nan listened, not showing any excitement but rather a face of exasperation.

This plan clearly put him in a dangerous position; the First Hall Master was a martial artist of the ninth heaven, not easy to scheme against.

He was afraid the First Hall Master had already sensed the intentions of betrayal and would have preparations in place.

"Putting me in danger, if successful you reap the rewards, if it fails I'm the first to die; Hall Master Ku Hun, you really have it calculated well." Chu Nan sneered, dismissive of Ku Hun's plan.

Ku Hun also understood that the plan was quite dangerous for Chu Nan, so he said, "You needn't worry too much, there will be others to cooperate with you at that time."

"Moreover, I'm first in Soul Dao, in the realm of the soul, even the First Hall Master couldn't imagine my capabilities. As long as you can suppress him for a moment, I'll have a way to seal the First Hall Master's soul."

Perhaps to gain Chu Nan's trust, Ku Hun unexpectedly opened his Storage Bag, revealing a hint of formidable aura.

Chu Nan's heart pounded wildly; he could sense the aura of a Saint-grade Spirit Martial within Ku Hun's Storage Bag!

Seeing Chu Nan's shocked expression, Ku Hun said with some pride, "I possess a Saint-grade Spirit Martial in the Soul Dao, combined with a Saint-level Soul, it is sufficient to seal the First Hall Master's soul for the time it takes an incense stick to burn."

"The First Hall Master's soul is actually quite fragile due to his frequent body-snatching. If it weren't for his powerful cultivation supporting it, I could have dealt with him myself."

Ku Hun's expression was proud, as if dealing with the ninth heaven's First Hall Master was truly a simple matter.

"Brother Zhao Shibang, I wonder if you'd be willing to cooperate with me; if successful I'm willing to share all the opportunities within the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall with you!"

Ku Hun's voice was filled with temptation, even the soul seemed to be affected.

However, Chu Nan's expression remained unchanged, his heart calm, "I need to think over this matter, I will give you an answer in three days."

Ku Hun was not disappointed; he believed Chu Nan would make the choice he wanted, so he nodded and responded, "Very well, I will wait here for Brother Zhao Shibang's decision."
