In the brightly lit room, Xia Hun Wu sat cross-legged on his bed as his eyes slowly opened. His face revealed a deathly white colour and a dizzy feeling was still present in his mind. He immediately shook his head and let out a bitter laugh.

"Hu …!"

Gently exhaling a breath of cold air, Xia Hun Wu's hands trembled and nine Spiritual Seals floated out from his body, before transforming into streams of flames that revolved above his head. Feeling that his control over the Nine Flames Dragon Devouring Array was much simpler than before, Yang Yang also curled his lips upwards.

"Looks like I really need some elixirs that can nourish Mental Energy in the next few days before I can continue training in this Soul Martial Pillar …!"

Xia Hun Wu pondered for a while as he saw the nine flames disappear into the surrounding space. He stretched his body, and as he could no longer resist the onslaught of sleepiness, he fell into a deep sleep.

Over the next few days, Xia Hun Wu entered his left pupil's mental space almost every day and used the Soul Martial Pillar to train his mental energy. Although the suffering was unbearable, it was the only way for him to improve his mental energy.

After Xia Hun Wu told Zhou Huai about the spiritual power nourishing ingredients, Zhou Yao went to the Silver Armor Auction House a few times. Fortunately, his luck wasn't too bad, and he happened to have a few Mortal Grade Seven Spirit Accumulation branches.

With the nourishment of the Spirit Accumulation Branch, Xia Hun Wu began to cultivate without eating or sleeping. After ten days, the tenth Spiritual Seal was finally condensed on that night. However, it was only ten Spiritual Seals.

However, Xia Hun Wu had already expected such an outcome. If it was so easy to advance to a Human Stage Level 8 Spiritual Array Master, then he wouldn't have the strength comparable to a Soul Transformation Stage expert … During these ten days of training, the Zhou family had secretly moved out some women and children to prevent the worst from happening.

As the days went by, the atmosphere in the Zhou Mansion became more and more tense, because everyone knew that the day before Tianhai's gate approached, and the hundred or so powers in Yunhai City also fixed their gazes on the Zhou Family. Once the Zhou Family was destroyed, they would also want a share of the spoils.

In the Zhou Mansion at the back of the mountain, Xia Hun Wu opened his eyes once again and the red glow from the basket disappeared from his eyes. With a flick of his mind, a fire tower appeared above his head.

The Nine Flames Dragon Devouring Formation had already been completely mastered by Xia Hun Wu, and the formation diagram was already imprinted into his mind. With a slight thought, this huge fire pagoda could whizz out and deliver a fatal blow while the enemy was stunned.

"It's already been fourteen days … The Heavenly Sea Sect should be arriving soon!"

After dispersing the "Great Flames Tower" above his head, Xia Hun Wu's expression became serious. In these 14 days, he had only managed to form 12 Spiritual Seals, which was still a distance of 8 Rank Spiritual Arrays and 8 Rank Spiritual Arrays. According to Xia Hun Wu's estimation, it would still take him another two months before he could borrow the effects of the Soul Martial Pillar to step into the Human Rank 8 Rank Spiritual Array Master realm.

This amount of time was far from enough. Before becoming a Grade Eight Spiritual Array Master, he would not be a match for Luo Lie.

"I must think of a way to stall for time. Otherwise, what awaits them is an extremely tragic result!"

Time was too tight for him.

"Hmm?"

Just as this thought flashed through Xia Hun Wu's mind, he suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly. His expression changed slightly as he stood up and looked in front of him.

Not far away, a group of people dressed in red appeared. Their auras were extremely shocking, bringing with them a baleful aura as they headed towards the Zhou Mansion.

"The Heavenly Sea Sect has finally arrived?"

As he looked at the man in red, his face turned dark …

"People from the Heavenly Sea Sect are here! Everyone from the Zhou Clan, hurry up and die!"

After this group of people rushed into the Zhou Mansion, a stern shout rang out. Wrapped by a large amount of soul power, it sounded like a clap of thunder.

With this shout, all the factions within a five kilometer radius of the Zhou Mansion seemed to be startled by this shout. Soon after, all of their gazes turned towards the Zhou Mansion's entrance.

"The Heavenly Sea Sect has finally come. This time, the Zhou Family might …!"

"That's right, even if that kid was able to defy the heavens, he wouldn't be able to block Luo Lie's third level Soul Transformation cultivation!"

"Sigh, the Zhou family is finished …"

Outside of the Zhou Mansion's gate was a large group of people dressed in red that completely surrounded the entire area. The dazzling bright red color was filled with a sinister aura, causing people's hearts to tremble.

The person at the front of the group was tall and sturdy with dark skin. There were many shocking scars underneath his black skin. Just by standing there, he would give people a fatal danger, causing them to not dare to look him in the eye.

The man wore a red robe and there was no trace of happiness or anger on his ice-cold face. His slightly sunken eyes were like a poisonous snake, filled with a sinister aura.

He was also an expert at the third level of the Soul Transformation realm in Four Heavens City.

Beside Luo Lie was an extremely handsome middle-aged man. Judging from the soul power fluctuation around him, this man should be the Heaven Sea Sect's protector who had reached the Mirror Break stage.

"Haha, the head of our Tianhai Sect has personally come to visit. How dare you, a mere Zhou clan, close the door? Do you take our Tianhai Sect to be a trash of the Xia and Li Clans?" The handsome middle-aged man had a hint of gloominess in his eyes as he shouted.

"Creak!"

The originally tightly shut gates of the Zhou Mansion slowly opened after this person's voice sounded out. Immediately, a large group of Zhou clan guards surged out, their expressions anxious as they watched the group of red-clothed men outside the main entrance.

"My name is Zhou Huai, and I am from the Zhou Family. I pay my respects to the sect master Luo Lie!" Zhou Huai slowly walked out along with Zhou Lie and the others. When he saw the red clothed man on the horse, he timidly cupped his fists and said.

"Ha, as expected of a Soul Transformation expert, no wonder Wu Ling was defeated by you guys!"

Luo Lie stared at Zhou Hai indifferently. Soon after, he shook his head and said, "I believe that your Zhou Family is well aware of the purpose of my Tianhai Sect. No matter what, Wu Ling is an elder of my Tianhai Sect."
