Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 354 Breaking into the Xishui Alliance
The first round of the tournament has concluded successfully.

Guiguzi scored 3 points in the individual competition and 5 points in the team battle, for a total of 8 points, which was just over Mingyuzong's 7 points and 1 point, so he easily won the game.

In their group, only Tianlongmen and Mingyuzong can be considered opponents; the rest are just weak teams. Even if all the main forces are absent, Wang Yanfeng and his group alone are enough to handle them.

According to the schedule, the match against Tianlongmen is the last game of the round-robin tournament.

Whether it's for Yuwen Tuo's next goal or to prepare for the competition, now is the best opportunity.

As night fell and darkness completely descended, the daytime matches had exhausted the crowds, who had cheered with all their might for their chosen teams. The more bustling the daytime crowds were, the quieter Mingdu became at night. The streets were not crowded; the vast majority of people were already asleep.

Of course, this is only apparent.

How could such a modern metropolis truly be deserted? The desolation is only in the surface world. Just as there is light, there is also darkness. In the shadows of the capital, there is an underground world.

In the underworld of Mingdu, there are three main forces: the strongest, Xishui Alliance, as well as Pingfan Alliance and Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

Among them, the Ordinary Alliance controls the brothels and other entertainment venues in the entire Mingdu, making it the most overt underground force. The Aodu Chamber of Commerce, on the other hand, is similar to a mafia, controlling assassin guilds and other criminal organizations, making a living through shady activities such as collecting protection money, assassinations, and intelligence gathering.

The Xishui Alliance is far more terrifying than them. They are involved in the most profitable drug and arms trade in the underworld, and even human trafficking.

It can be said that the Xishui Alliance monopolizes 70% of the profits in the underworld, while the Pingfan Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce share the remaining 30%.

In order to counter the Xishui Alliance, the Pingfan Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce have a very close relationship and seem to be forming an alliance.

However, their backing was clearly not as strong as that of the Xishui Alliance. After all, the Xishui Alliance was backed by the Holy Spirit Cult, which was also the Holy Spirit Cult's main source of income. If it weren't for the fact that the Ordinary Alliance and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce had always maintained a compromising attitude towards the Xishui Alliance, the three parties would have been able to maintain peace. Otherwise, they would have been wiped out by the Xishui Alliance long ago.

But in reality, they all wanted to devour the Xi Shui Alliance, especially Shangguan Wei'er of the Pingfan Alliance. She secretly sought out Ye Guyi, the Holy Angel, who was also a nemesis of evil soul masters.

During this period, in addition to the open All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Soul Battle Tournament, these three major forces were also secretly conducting the Mingdu Soul Master Elite Tournament.

At this time, the selection process was still in progress. The three major forces were conducting selections in their respective territories, each choosing three people to enter the finals soon.

Huo Yuhao and He Caitou also concealed their identities and participated in the competition at the Xishui Alliance branch venue under the pseudonyms Tang Si and Tang Wu.

In other words, at this very moment, the vast majority of participants in the Xishui Alliance's branch venue are elite soul masters of the Xishui Alliance; in other words, most of them are evil soul masters.

For Yuwen Tuo, this was undoubtedly like someone who had been starving for three days and three nights seeing a buffet that he could enjoy at will.

They led everyone to a hotel called Qingse Hotel, a hotel with a very distinctive name. It was only one kilometer away from Mingyue Hotel and was located in a prime location in Mingdu. But who would have thought that such a hotel in the city center was actually a gathering place for evil spirit masters?

As they entered the hotel, a receptionist immediately came forward to greet them, "Excuse me, gentlemen, our hotel is closed today!"

Tonight is the second round of selections for the Soul Master Competition at the Xishui Alliance venue, so of course we won't let anyone disturb us.

In fact, Yuwen Tuo chose this time to come because the nominal leaders of the Ordinary Alliance had probably already arrived, namely Tianwu Douluo Nangong Wan and Minglei Douluo.

Starting from the selection of the top six, Feng Ling will also arrive. Yuwen Tuo wants to kill Tianwu Douluo and Minglei Douluo before Feng Ling arrives.

There were other powerful evil spirit masters in the venue responsible for maintaining order, which provided a good opportunity for Long Aotian and his group to complete their assessment. However, this had to be done quickly, as the place was very close to the Mingyue Hotel. It wouldn't take the Imperial Preceptor Zhongli Wu and his wife Feng Ling, who were in the palace, more than a few minutes to arrive.

Once a major war breaks out, it will inevitably alarm them, and by then it will be too late to kill them.

Yuwen Tuo had a valid reason for killing these people. He wasn't worried about causing an uprising in the Sun Moon Empire. Firstly, killing evil soul masters was always politically correct, no matter what. Although Xu Tianran had stopped pretending and openly sided with evil soul masters, he was still not the emperor.

Yuwen Tuo had received the emperor's decree and had the right to execute evil spirit masters without prior approval. Now that his status as Prince Yan had been restored, this power naturally remained. So what if Zhongli Wu became furious later?
The five Guardian Soul Master Corps members are all present in this city. While some are loyal to Xu Tianran, there are also many die-hard royals. Yuwen Tuo was ordered to kill traitors and is also an imperial prince. Logically and emotionally, they cannot watch themselves be harmed. Even if Zhongli Wu wants to touch him, he should get past the Guardian Soul Masters first.

This time, he was going to make Xu Tianran shoot himself in the foot, since Xu Tianran had lured him here by pardoning all his crimes on behalf of the emperor and restoring all his power and status.

Yuwentuo glanced at the receptionist, and his vast spiritual power instantly knocked him unconscious. Yuwentuo wouldn't kill such a minor figure.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao and He Caitou were engaged in a fierce competition. Their outstanding talent as Soul Masters had already attracted the attention of a man with a mustache in the private room.

"I really didn't expect that this competition would bring out two such geniuses."

On the referee's stand sat three formidable evil soul masters, all of whom were Soul Saint experts and Soul Masters, one at level seven and the other two at level six.

This shows the importance of this competition.

Just as everyone was focused on the competition, the tightly closed door was suddenly broken open by a powerful force, and two figures flew in. One was a handsome young man, and the other was a stunningly beautiful young woman. They were Yuwen Tuo and Qiu'er. They had no habit of hiding their identities. Killing evil soul masters should be done openly and honestly.

Both the competitors and the spectators were startled by Yuwen Tuo's sudden intrusion. Yuwen Tuo looked up, smiled, and said, "I smell the scent of evil spirit masters. There are many evil spirit masters here, aren't there?"

His smile, which was clearly very handsome, looked like a demon from hell to the members of the Xi Shui Alliance.

"It's Yuwen Tuo! Run!!!" Someone screamed.

The evil spirit master's reaction to Yuwen Tuo was just like that of an ordinary person seeing an evil spirit master; even though it was night, it was as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"None of you will escape, Imperial Domain!" Yuwen Tuo's Imperial Domain opened, and in an instant, the entire room was enveloped in sword energy.

Some people were unable to move, but others said in surprise, "Huh, it doesn't hurt at all? This silk thread is cool and comfortable."

"Those who are not evil spirit masters, get out. I, Yuwen Tuo, only kill evil spirit masters," Yuwen Tuo said.

His move simply used sword energy to transform into ice silk to bind all the evil spirit masters, avoiding all ordinary people. Those among the contestants who were not evil spirit masters did not attack.

"Oh no! That madman Yuwen Tuo looks like he's about to go on a killing spree again! Brother He, let's run!" Huo Yuhao grabbed He Caitou and immediately ran out of the hotel with the crowd. Luckily, he wasn't in a wheelchair like in the original story, otherwise escaping would have been difficult.

Once everyone who was supposed to leave had left, Long Aotian and the others all jumped in.

Yuwentuo released the ice silk sword energy. He had only restrained the evil soul masters and had not harmed them, because they were all prey of Long Aotian and the others. Since it concerned the divine test, he could not be careless.

"Senior brothers and sisters, don't hold back, kill them all!" Yuwen Tuo said coldly, then looked up at the private room above and shouted, "You cowardly dogs, don't you dare come out and face me, Yuwen Tuo? Get down here!"
