His gaze was like two sharp swords, piercing straight into the heart of the golden-robed cultivator, making him feel chills down his spine.
The golden-robed cultivator’s expression changed, then he pretended to be confused: “What are you saying, fellow Daoist? What soul jar? I don’t understand.”
While speaking, he slowly backed away, his hand already reaching for the communication talisman on his waist.
He knew David’s strength, so he had to inform the Sixth Palace Master. If he could delay a little longer, he could wait for support from the Sixth Palace.
The golden-robed cultivator prayed silently, hoping that the Sixth Palace Master would arrive soon to ease his predicament.
“Don’t understand?” David sneered, his figure suddenly disappeared from the place.
He was so fast, like a ghost, that it was impossible for anyone to trace his footsteps.
When he reappeared, he was already standing in the middle of the platform, his right hand directly reaching into the groove.
His movements were clean and quick, without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing that, the golden-robed cultivator panicked. He took out a folding fan and smashed it hard against David’s back, shouting, “Daoist brothers! This villain is trying to steal the temple’s treasures! He will destroy your Dao hearts! Stop him!”
The cultivators who had just reached the next level already held a grudge against David, and as soon as they heard the words “stealing treasure,” they immediately became angry.
As if injected with a stimulant, more than a dozen cultivators rushed at David simultaneously, releasing their magical artifacts. Although the spiritual energy fluctuations were not as sharp as before, they still carried a certain ferocity.
Without turning his head, David suddenly released a very strong aura.
The oppressive force was like Mount Tai pressing down, instantly enveloping the entire Soul Gathering Altar.
The air felt frozen, making it difficult to breathe.
The cultivators who had rushed over were instantly trapped in place by the oppressive force before they could even raise their hands, their faces filled with horror.
They then discovered that the spiritual energy within their bodies had become extremely stagnant, and they were unable to even release half of their previous strength.
It was as if there was an invisible force binding them, preventing them from using their abilities.
“How could this be my spiritual power” a cultivator muttered in horror, subconsciously touching his eyebrows.
This time, he clearly felt not only a stinging sensation between his eyebrows, but also a hollow emptiness, the trace left behind after his soul was taken.
His heart was filled with fear and regret, but it was too late.
The other cultivators also realized what was happening, their faces turning deathly pale. The joy of their previous breakthrough disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of fear.
They finally realized the danger that threatened them, but did not know how to get out of the situation.
