Douluo: The martial soul Nine-headed Xiangliu swallows the sky and devours the earth!

Chapter 157 An unexpected encounter with Xue Qinghe?
Dugu Yao and Ye Lingling left Sunset Forest at a leisurely pace, and the surrounding soul beasts did not dare to approach them.

It was as if the outer edge of this sunset forest was their backyard, and now it was no different from their backyard.

These low-level soul beasts are not even a threat to Dugu Yao, let alone Ye Lingling. Ye Lingling can handle thousand-year-old soul beasts on her own.

Dugu Yao took a deep breath. He needed to speed up his cultivation when he got back and become a Soul Saint as soon as possible. He couldn't fly in the Soul Beast Forest anymore; it was too restrictive.

Extremely limited mobility!

In the past, it was always his grandfather who led them to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings. He didn't have this feeling about it, but now he and Ye Lingling have come.

This feeling was extremely uncomfortable. The terrain was rugged and overgrown with weeds, and there were always some clueless soul beasts around, which was giving him a real headache.

"Brother Yao, were you sighing just now?" Ye Lingling asked with a smile.

She was very happy to be able to hunt spirit beasts and obtain spirit rings with her brother Yao this time, as she never had any time alone with him before.

Moreover, hunting soul beasts is like a vacation. With Brother Yao around, there's no need to worry about safety. If there's any danger, Brother Yao will take care of it.

"No." Dugu Yao looked ahead at the boundless forest and said calmly, "It's just that I've come to understand a principle this time."

"What's the reasoning behind this?" Ye Lingling asked, puzzled.

"The paths in this Sunset Forest are really difficult to traverse. I never realized it before. I need to become a Soul Saint as soon as I get back and gain the ability to fly!"

"Otherwise, if I bring you guys here again to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings, I'll be exhausted!" Dugu Yao said cheerfully.

Opening up roads is a very troublesome task.

Just waving his short blade around there made his hand almost numb. If he were a Soul Saint, he could just fly over if the road was difficult to walk on.

"Brother Yao understands things differently from others," Ye Lingling said with a slight smile, her hands behind her back, fiddling with her fingers.

Just then, Dugu Yao stopped and stared ahead.

Ye Lingling also stopped and looked in the direction Dugu Yao was looking. She saw several black dots appearing ahead, moving at an extremely fast speed.

They were heading their way, and in an instant, Ye Lingling was already prepared for battle. After all, encountering another group of people in the Soul Beast Forest was extremely dangerous.

However, she did not release her martial soul or spirit rings yet. It wouldn't be too late to do these things after seeing the other party's true appearance.

“That is…” Dugu Yao’s eyes narrowed as he said, “Judging from the aura of these people, they are seven Soul Emperors, one of whom is unknown.”

Although they are still far away, his perception is very strong, probably because he often uses his spiritual senses.

"Who are you people!" The seven Soul Emperors surrounded Dugu Yao and Ye Lingling, looking at them warily.

These two, though young, came from the depths of the Sunset Forest, which was rather strange.

The leading Soul Emperor thought to himself.

After Ye Lingling clearly saw the face of the eighth Soul Master, she waved with a grin and said, "Brother Qinghe, Brother Qinghe, it's us!"

The eighth Soul Master was suddenly Xue Qinghe, whom she knew well. She often visited Brother Qinghe's mansion with Brother Yao and Sister Yan.

She wouldn't mistake them. "Brother Yao, and Sister Lingling." Xue Qinghe walked out from among the seven Soul Emperors with his hands behind his back, looking at the two with some surprise.

"How come you are here?"

She never expected to run into Dugu Yao and Ye Lingling here, and there were only the two of them. Where were Dugu Bo and the others?
Could it be hidden in the shadows?

Impossible. If it were in the shadows, neither the Serpent Spear Douluo nor the Porcupine Douluo would have failed to notice. Since it wasn't either of them, then it's rather unbelievable.

Emerging from the depths of the Sunset Forest without a single wound, as if on vacation, was truly bizarre.

"Brother Qinghe, Yao-gege and I came to Sunset Forest to obtain soul rings," Ye Lingling said immediately. Since it was Brother Qinghe, he probably wouldn't harm them, right?

"Get the spirit ring?"

Xue Qinghe looked at the two suspiciously. What were they going to do in the depths to get a spirit ring? That place was inhabited by spirit beasts that were ten thousand years old, or had they accidentally wandered in?

What puzzled her most was that there were only the two of them. How could the Xuanling Pill Sect be so at ease letting these two enter the Sunset Forest?

“Brother Qinghe, Lingling is right. We are here to obtain spirit rings, and we are here to help Lingling obtain spirit rings.”

"I wasn't paying attention for a moment and almost wandered into the depths of Sunset Forest," Dugu Yao said, though he knew his explanation was somewhat far-fetched.

But so what?
"But what brings Brother Qinghe here? Does Brother Qinghe also need a spirit ring?" Dugu Yao asked with a smile.

There's no reason for the two of them to dwell on the Sunset Forest issue; the more they talk, the more they reveal.

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly and smiled faintly: "That's right, my soul power level has reached level 20, and I urgently need a soul ring of the thousand-year level."

"I searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so I thought I'd try my luck deeper in the area. I never expected to run into Brother Yao and Sister Lingling here."

The other seven Soul Emperors, seeing that these two knew their prince, relaxed their guard and were no longer as serious as before.

"Brother Qinghe, you go find the soul beast, we'll head back first." Dugu Yao said, then took Ye Lingling's hand and left.

"Acquire a spirit ring? Even if it's a thousand-year-old spirit ring, there's no need to go deep into Sunset Forest, if I remember correctly."

"The spirit rings required for the Snow Swan Martial Soul can be found in the outer areas, though it's a bit difficult. But it seems that this kind of spirit beast is even harder to find in the depths."

Dugu Yao thought to himself, it was really strange, very strange. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it, since it had nothing to do with them anyway and was just a minor incident.

"Luckily it was Brother Qinghe. If it were anyone else, we might have been in danger. I've heard that encountering another group of people in the Soul Beast Forest is terrifying."

Ye Lingling said this.

"That's true. Encountering another group in the Soul Beast Forest was indeed terrifying, but with me here, Lingling, aren't you worried?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling immediately replied, "Don't worry, with Brother Yao here, I'm the safest. In my heart, Brother Yao is the strongest!"

At this moment, she was like a little fangirl of Dugu Yao.
