Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 349 The Scheme Ends, Entering the Dragon Gate, Exploring the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mysterious Ice Cave

"Zhongliwu" flew away into the darkness, and before leaving, he dealt a cruel blow. The fifteenth elder of Haotian Sect experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, going from hell to heaven and back to hell.

I thought I had escaped with my life, but I did manage to save my life, but I lost my soul core!

Xu Tianxi fully utilized his experience in researching and condensing soul cores, operating in reverse and using extremely barbaric and brutal methods to destroy the Fifteenth Elder's lower dantian. The soul core was forcibly sent to the void space, and the force then instantly spread throughout the Fifteenth Elder's meridians.

The powerful and ferocious blow caused the Fifteenth Elder unbearable pain. His soul power spread outwards and dissipated into the air. No matter how hard the Fifteenth Elder tried to recover, it was to no avail.

They could only watch helplessly as his cultivation returned to nature, vanishing into nothingness, making a positive contribution to the balance of the Douluo Continent's ecosystem by abandoning his family and career.

"what……"

The Fifteenth Elder screamed in agony, his eyes wide open. What terrified him was not only the loss of his cultivation, but also the fact that "Zhongliwu" had thrown him off a high place before leaving. If no one had come to his rescue, he would have surely been smashed into a pulp!
After all, he was the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, so he would definitely be ruthless and merciless when dealing with orthodox Soul Masters. Xu Tianxi believed that he still had the qualities of an actor and did not let Zhong Liwu take the blame.

At least I've built up your reputation, haven't I?
If I use your pseudonym this time, I won't hold it against you for leading the team to kidnap Ma Xiaotao last time and forcing me to go to great lengths to hunt you down.

In this pre-arranged drama, Xiao Changfeng, who had been informed of the script in advance by Xu Tianxi, did not disappoint Xu Tianxi, who had moved behind the scenes. He spread his ice phoenix wings and flew over, finally intercepting the fifteenth elder of Haotian Sect just two seconds before he was about to turn into a meat pie.

A glacier suddenly appeared out of thin air, stretching across the sky above Dragon City between the buildings and the fifteen elders of the Haotian Sect.

After a series of crisp cracking sounds, Xiao Changfeng, having missed his target and fallen in close proximity to the glacier, leaving the fifteenth elder of the Haotian Sect covered in blood and radiating cold, frowned first and then relaxed, his tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of disdain, as he asked:
How are you now?

The fifteenth elder of the Haotian Sect was the most intelligent among the four elders. Upon regaining his senses, he discerned from the other's expression and words that the other party disliked him and that the attack was likely only to deal with Zhongli Wu. He immediately adopted a respectful demeanor, cupping his hands in gratitude.
"Thank you... Ice Phoenix... for your help... for saving me. I thank you... for your help..."

"I am well... I am not... in danger of losing my life..."

His old teeth had been knocked out long ago in the Star Dou Great Forest by a Holy Spirit Cult leader who disliked their malicious visit and inability to speak human language. A solid collision with the glacier left him without even more teeth. As he spoke with a lisp, he shivered all over, freezing.

Seeing this, Xiao Changfeng's expression softened slightly. He dispelled the chill emanating from the other party, sighed as if somewhat regretful, and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Naturally...it's back to...Haotian Sect." The fifteenth elder answered haltingly, his eyes filled with the shadow of hatred, so intense that he was about to go mad.

The entire Haotian Sect only had about twenty Title Douluo. Eight of them perished in the battle at the ocean, and three more died and one was crippled this time. The blow was extremely heavy. "Zhongli Wu" was practically cutting them down like cabbages.

The dragons were truly no match for them, and there was nothing anyone could say about it, but the Holy Spirit Cult was something they absolutely had to contend with!
With the combined strength of the Haotian Sect and the Sea God Island, they don't believe they can't defeat the Holy Spirit Sect, which was severely damaged by the three major forces more than two years ago!
Seeing that the other party was indeed walking into the trap step by step according to Xu Tianxi's plan, Xiao Changfeng was overjoyed but kept his expression unchanged. After a moment's thought, he said:
"You look completely lifeless right now. If you encounter any evil spirit masters or other dangers on your way back, you'll be done for."

"Then Your Majesty Ice Phoenix, what do you mean..." The fifteenth elder of the Haotian Sect's face lit up with hope. Could it be that this person before him was still willing to send him back to the sect?

Xiao Changfeng said calmly, "Dragon City is not far ahead. Doesn't your Haotian Sect have a good relationship with the Tianhun Empire? I will take you to the Dragon City Lord and have him send someone to escort you back."

Having said that, without waiting for the Fifteenth Elder, whose face was frozen, to have any objection, he picked him up from a distance and headed towards the Dragon City Lord's Mansion.

Their Xuanming Sect is at the forefront of the fight against evil soul masters, but they are not indiscriminately kind-hearted. He would not be so kind as to send the Fifteenth Elder back; that would seem too deliberate.

Xu Tianxi had said in a telepathic message that he would act according to his own will.

The fifteenth elder was taken away by force. Disappointed, he didn't say much, but he sighed inwardly that his brothers were unlucky. Not only did they take the wrong path, but they also bumped into the arms of the Holy Spirit Cult Leader.

How did they end up in the Star Dou Great Forest? Were they really knocked out by that Xuanming Supreme Elder? The Fifteenth Elder looked at the Ice Phoenix Douluo with apprehension. How did he end up in this vicinity?
Xiao Changfeng didn't care what the fifteenth elder was thinking. He took him to the city lord's mansion, gave him a few instructions, and then left.

In the void, Xu Tianxi used his spiritual power to probe the Fifteenth Elder's psychological fluctuations and transmitted his voice to Xiao Changfeng:

"Senior Uncle, if he wants to ask anything, just tell him the truth. It was I who led them to the Star Dou Great Forest. It has nothing to do with Grandmaster. If necessary, you can be a little tougher."

Xiao Changfeng nodded secretly, marveling at Xu Tianxi's remarkable methods while also considering his next course of action.

Before departing, the Fifteenth Elder, seeing Xiao Changfeng heading straight towards the far north, finally couldn't suppress his confusion and asked:

"Your Majesty, after leaving your sect, my four brothers and I were preparing to return, but we took the wrong path and strayed into the Star Dou Great Forest, where we encountered the Holy Spirit Cult Leader. This matter..."

Xiao Changfeng, who was pacing in mid-air, stopped in his tracks, turned around and gave the Fifteenth Elder a cold look, and said, "What do you want to say?"

The fifteenth elder felt as if he had been plunged into an ice cave. Mustering his courage, he asked, "We suspect that we went astray because your sect's patriarch damaged our brains. We wonder if your sect's patriarch has..."

"boom……!"

Xiao Changfeng's dark eyes flashed with blue light, and the water elements in the air instantly condensed into countless ice spikes, which flew down towards the Fifteenth Elder at an incredibly fast speed.

"what……"

Ice spikes pierced through his body, leaving the Fifteenth Elder's upper arms, calves, and chest riddled with bone-chilling ice spikes. He screamed in agony, pinned to the ground. "What are you! If Master truly wanted to kill you, why would he need Zhongli Wu's hand! Humph!"

Xiao Changfeng snorted coldly, turned around and transformed into a blue streak of light, quickly disappearing at the edge of the horizon.

More than two years ago, Xu Tianxi instructed Vina to eliminate the inhuman old city lord of Longcheng. The current city lord of Longcheng is a capable official that Vina found in the capital. He was a little flustered, but still boldly sent medical personnel to rescue people.

Fortunately, Xiao Changfeng did not intend to kill the Fifteenth Elder with one blow. The Dragon City Lord's medical team saved the Fifteenth Elder's life, but also caused him to lose his sense of touch in excruciating pain.

When the Fifteenth Elder awoke, he heard the physician muttering something, "It's a pity that a Title Douluo has not only had all his meridians destroyed, but his bones are also almost completely shattered. Even if he's saved, he won't live for more than a few days..."

The fifteenth elder fainted from the pain.

Good heavens, I really shouldn't have said that...

……

News of the Fifteenth Elder's accident was quickly reported, and the Dragon City Lord and the Heavenly Dou City envoy coordinated to send him away.

Xu Tianxi and Xiao Changfeng watched the man leave, then returned to Dragon City and headed straight for the Earth Dragon Gate.

"Tianxi, you said that there might be an ice-attribute treasure hidden beneath the Earth Dragon Gate sect's headquarters. Where did you get this information?" Xiao Changfeng asked with some curiosity.

"More than two years ago, I came to Longcheng with Master Kong and Senior Brother Ye. Near the Earth Dragon Gate, we sensed a huge cold aura. We tried to investigate but could not, as the cold aura was bone-chilling."

Afterwards, I consulted ancient texts and discovered that the scene beneath the Earth Dragon Gate sect's headquarters closely resembled a legendary gathering place of rare and precious treasures. In the past two years, I've also witnessed fragments of destiny.

"After thinking it over, the strongest ice-attribute soul master I know is you, my senior uncle. So naturally, I need your help to find out the truth this time."

Xu Tianxi was spouting nonsense with a straight face, and apart from the soul in the sea of ​​spirits, no one knew he was lying.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm tumbled its body, swimming gracefully in the Sea of ​​Spirit, and asked curiously, "When did Tianxi sense the Earth Dragon Gate?"

Hyotei recalled, "I remember that Tianxi lingered near the Earth Dragon Gate more than two years ago, wanting to explore it further, but ultimately did not go in."

"It's a pity he came in such a hurry this time that he didn't bring Xue'er along. Otherwise, with Xue'er's strength, no ice-attribute danger could stop her. Sigh, I miss her a little again..."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm curled her lips and reminded her, "Don't forget, the Snow Empress is still in a state of rebuilding her cultivation. Her strength is only comparable to an ordinary Super Douluo. She was even captured in the Six Directions Continent last time."

"As for this man, I don't think he's much weaker than you were in your prime. It seems that the Ice Crystal Phoenix has some kind of racial advantage over your Ice Jade Scorpion clan, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bingdi gave Tianmeng Bingcan a very unpleasant look, turned her head away, and stopped talking.

The Mountain Dragon King was momentarily awakened by the clamor of the sea of ​​consciousness. He raised his eyelids to sense the state of the Earth Dragon Gate for a brief moment, then immediately lost interest.

The Myriad-Year Ice Cave is a top-tier tonic for ice-attribute soul beasts and soul masters below the god level, but it has little meaning for him.

Before long, the two entered the territory of the Earth Dragon Gate sect.

Wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe, Xu Tianxi looked around and unleashed the Mirror Flower Water Moon Soul Skill. The massive spiritual energy fluctuations enveloped the entire Earth Dragon Gate at an extremely rapid speed. Hundreds of people within the Earth Dragon Gate were affected, and their eyes almost simultaneously became glazed.

"That makes things much easier and saves us the trouble of negotiations."

Seeing that all the senior masters in the Dragon Gate, from the sect leader Nan Shuishui to the younger generation like the junior leader Nan Qiuqiu, had their five senses sealed by his Mirror Flower Water Moon technique, Xu Tianxi nodded slightly, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

He came here to retrieve the treasure, and he didn't want to fight or engage in troublesome social interactions, so he simply let everyone take a nap and leave a few pieces of their soul bones behind.

Reaching a frozen pool at the heart of the Earth Dragon Gate, Xu Tianxi smiled faintly at Xiao Changfeng beside him:

"Master Uncle, let's go down."

"Alright, this place is bitterly cold, I'll go scout ahead first."

Xiao Changfeng looked at Xu Tianxi, who had trapped an entire sect with a flick of his hand, with surprise in his eyes. He nodded and took the first step forward.

Xu Tianxi casually took out a few lead boxes, placed them on the spot, and then jumped down as well.

"Don't say that I, Xu, am a thief behind the scenes. I, Xu, am sometimes quite conscientious."
