Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Seeing Mo Shang's anger, the other elders showed no reaction whatsoever, and were even somewhat relieved that they were not the ones sitting in the main seat at the moment.

After all, there are many forces participating in the Lucky Pavilion banquet now, and even the Soul Hall cannot swallow it all up at once.

If the Soul Palace were to swallow its anger, it would inevitably trigger another round of impeachments within the clan.

Chapter 348 Mo Shang Takes Action

Such a huge burden has now been shifted onto Mo Shang's shoulders, and the elders of the Soul Hall are naturally secretly overjoyed.

Even at this moment, they were worried about sitting in Mo Shang's position and bearing unwarranted responsibility.

"What's wrong? Nobody's talking now?"

Sitting in the main seat, Mo Shang exuded anger as he questioned the assembled Soul Hall elders.

"When I first consolidated the Soul Palace's power, didn't the elders all have differing opinions?"

"If you think I, as a junior, am not up to the task, then I might as well give up this position to the seniors."

Hearing Mo Shang's defiant words of shirking responsibility, the elders of the Soul Hall felt disdain in their hearts, but on the surface they comforted him:

"Commander Mo, you can't afford to slack off."

An elder from the Soul Hall stepped forward, looked at Mo Shang, and said, "At such a critical moment, the Three Heavenly Venerables and others have entrusted you with such a heavy responsibility, which shows that they have high hopes for you."

"At this time, our Soul Palace should unite as one to deal with the Starfall Pavilion. If you retreat now, what will happen after the Three Heavenly Venerables and others finish their seclusion..."

The elder said no more, got up and returned to his seat, but everyone understood the meaning behind his words.

The Three Venerables entrusted everyone to Mo Shang. If Mo Shang did nothing, or did something but failed to achieve any results, then he would be slapping the Three Venerables in the face.

If he dares to retreat now, the first person to not forgive him after the Three Venerables emerge from seclusion will probably be the Three Venerables.

As for being enemies with the Starfall Pavilion...

It should be noted that the Starfall Pavilion is currently overseen by Yao Chen.

Now that Yao Chen has reached the Dou Sheng realm, it's simply wishful thinking to try and attack him again.

Despite the opposition from the group of powerful figures, a smile appeared on Mo Shang's lips beneath his mask.

He knew perfectly well what these old guys were up to, but his purpose in holding this meeting was not to actually hand over his current position.

After all, it wasn't easy for me to get to where I am now.

If he can seize this opportunity, his future in the Soul Palace will truly be secure.

The angrier he appeared, the more the Soul Hall elders would underestimate him.

The reason he put on this show was to ensure that no one would interfere with the orders he gave later.

Otherwise, if he couldn't even pass on orders within the Soul Palace, and someone was obstructing him, then it would truly be impossible for him to achieve anything.

With this new tactic, if anyone dares to interfere, he can easily shift all the blame onto others and absolve himself of all responsibility.

The other elders were all shrewd and understood Mo Shang's meaning. So if Mo Shang gave an order now, they would not only not obstruct him, but would also make things convenient for him.

After all, in their view, it was wishful thinking to try and deal with Yao Chen, who was at the Dou Sheng level.

Once the Three Venerables and the others have finished healing, they can join forces and talk to He Moshang, who will be powerless. This little kid in front of them will be completely at their mercy.

There's no need to let a moment of anger affect the rest of the plan.

In their minds, it was a foregone conclusion that Mo Shang would be removed from his position.

"Alright, then it's settled. From now on, if any order goes wrong under the command of any of you elders, then I, Mo, will not be able to take up the position of commander."

Mo Shang sat in his chair and gave a cold snort to the group of elders.

He then turned and left.

After Mo Shang left, the elders of the Soul Hall sitting in the main hall looked at each other and let out a series of sharp laughs.

"Hehehehehe..."

Immediately, the sound of chains scraping together echoed throughout the hall. When the sound disappeared, there was no one left in the entire hall.

After leaving the main hall, Mo Shang's figure appeared on a mountain peak.

A cold glint flashed in Mo Shang's eyes as he watched the departing elder of the Soul Hall.

Mo Shang waved his hand, and a pitch-black chain suddenly burst forth from the void behind him, with a phantom soul wrapped around the front end of the chain.

However, unlike the other soul being controlled by Mo Shang, this soul was currently showing signs of weakness, but it had not been attacked by his chains. He had simply imprisoned it.

"This humble servant greets Commander Mo."

This illusory soul appeared to be a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.

Upon seeing Mo Shang appear before him, he showed a look of fear and trepidation.

Even though it was just a soul, it still respectfully knelt halfway in mid-air before Mo Shang and spoke respectfully.

"Ah."

Mo Shang nodded slightly, then his gaze fell on the soul entity, and he said:

"Si Wenbo, the Valley Master of Sanxing Valley, 70 years ago, the Valley Master of Sanxing Valley spoke rudely outside and angered Elder Yan. Subsequently, the entire Sanxing Valley was purged by Elder Yan."

"All 341 members of the entire force died. Their souls were collected and crushed by Elder Yan, and transformed into the purest soul power for him to absorb and cultivate."

The illusory soul in mid-air listened to Mo Shang's words, its face revealing boundless hatred.

The figure who had been kneeling in mid-air stood up, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Mo Shang no longer revealed any respect.

"You know me! The Soul Hall, the damned Soul Hall, the damned Elder Yan, I will make you pay with your lives. I will haunt you even as a ghost."

The illusory soul struggled in mid-air, causing even the chains binding it to creak and groan.

Unfortunately, under Mo Shang's control, he couldn't cause the slightest disturbance.

"Quiet!"

Mo Shang spoke softly, glancing back at the dark flames surging from his eyes. His previously frenzied soul trembled, almost shattering, before solidifying again.

And a bit of rationality returned to his gaze as he looked at Mo Shang.

"Since you know my identity, I will not hide it from you."

"That's right, I am Si Wenbo, the Valley Master of Samsung Valley."

When Si Wenbo mentioned his identity, his face once again showed hatred and anger.

After Mo Shang's "treatment" just now, he was clearly much more rational now.

Looking at Mo Shang, he asked curiously:

"Since Commander Mo was able to find out my identity and even specially transferred me from the Soul Palace's prison, may I ask what business he has with me?"

"Whatever you want from me, as long as you promise me to take revenge and kill Elder Yan, I will gladly give up my life!"

Si Wenbo stared intently at Mo Shang, a hint of hidden hope in his eyes.

The person who could become the Valley Master of Three Star Valley was naturally not a fool. When Mo Shang promoted him from prison, he had already guessed it.

Within the entire Soul Palace, since he had a grudge against Elder Yan, anyone looking for him must not be on Elder Yan's side.

This means the other side needs a loyal bodyguard capable of dealing with Elder Yan.

Having no ties to the world, and now reduced to a prisoner of the Soul Palace, nothing can move him anymore.

Only Elder Yan, and only Elder Yan's head, could convince him.

"You are very smart!"

Mo Shang nodded slightly, but did not readily agree to Si Wenbo's words. Instead, she turned to Si Wenbo and spoke:

"Don't worry. Since I've called you out, I'll naturally make you satisfied."

"However, Elder Yan is at the sixth level of Dou Zun. Dealing with him will not be so simple."

Si Wenbo nodded in agreement upon hearing Mo Shang's words.

Looking at Mo Shang, waiting for him to continue.

"But don't worry, if we want you to do something, we naturally have to help you solve the problem first."

Mo Shang waved his hand, and the chains behind him disappeared back into the black mist, while Si Wenbo offered no resistance.

After putting away Si Wenbo's soul again, Mo Shang's gaze returned to the distance.

That was the direction Elder Yan had gone.

Inside the Soul Palace, under the watchful eyes of a group of powerful figures, Mo Shang returned to the main hall and activated its array to isolate himself from the outside world. However, before activating the array, he gave the following instructions:

"I'm telling you to go into seclusion. It's fine. Don't bother me."

Despite hearing Mo Shang's outburst of profanity, the Soul Palace guards dared not utter a single complaint.

After all, if Commander Mo, who is currently in a fit of anger, were to be provoked, he could really send himself to the cycle of reincarnation.

However, before anyone could notice, the moment the formation was activated, a figure enveloped in black flames slowly disappeared into the shadows.

Seeing that the hot-tempered Commander Mo had returned to the hall for seclusion, all the spies sent there by the various elders hurriedly sent messages back.

Little did they know, their target had already left this place.

After leaving the Soul Palace, Mo Shang headed southwest.
