Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

The teams from the Tiandou region moved slowly forward under the escort of the Royal Knights, passing through a small canyon formed by two not-too-high hills.

"who--?"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from a carriage in the center of the procession. Immediately afterwards, a figure in white robes and silver hair rose into the air, his gaze fixed solemnly on the hill not far ahead.

Hearing the commotion behind them, knowing that Sword Douluo had noticed the sudden situation, the captain of the Royal Knights leading the way at the front of the column immediately stopped his Heavenly Soul Warhorse and shouted, "Everyone, on alert!"

The next second, three more whooshing sounds rang out, and Huo Lie, Shui Yanyu, and Dugu Bo appeared beside Chen Xin.

Meanwhile, in the center of the procession, led by Mu Xiyue, the teams from the three academies of Chihuo, Tianshui, and Shenfeng hurriedly disembarked from their carriages and gathered with Prince Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi, who had also disembarked from their carriages not far away.

The unexpected situation encountered along the way was within the expectations of the Douluo and Ning Fengzhi.

Therefore, the plan set out at the start of the journey was for Chen Xin, Huo Lie, Shui Yanyu, and Dugu Bo to face the enemy head-on, while Ning Fengzhi and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who would provide support for the team, as well as Mu Yang and others who were likely also being targeted, would be protected by Mu Xiyue to prevent them from being taken advantage of.

"Since we're already here, why hide anymore?"

At this moment, Chen Xin narrowed his eyes and mocked the seemingly deserted hilltop ahead.

"As expected of Sword Dao Chenxin, he does indeed possess some skill!"

A deep voice came from behind the hill, and five figures appeared on the top of the hill.

The five were led by a middle-aged man with golden hair and beard, who stood in the center, wearing a golden armor and robe, with a burly figure and a rugged face.

The one who spoke was this burly, blond middle-aged man who looked remarkably like the "Golden Lion King."

Standing around the blond, burly middle-aged man were two Soul Masters who appeared to be young. They were also dressed in golden armor and their faces were extremely similar, so they were undoubtedly blood brothers.

The remaining two, one of whom was dressed in golden armor and had a bewitching face, giving the impression of a woman of the night, but the Adam's apple on his throat proved that he was a cross-dresser and not a real woman.

The other person was shrouded in a layer of black mist, exuding a cold aura. Their face was obscured, but it was clear that they were rather thin.

"Thousand-pound sword, demon slayer, chrysanthemum, demon—who are you?"

Looking at the five figures, Chen Xin's heart sank, and he asked with a solemn expression.

Chrysanthemum and Ghost are among the more active Title Douluos within the Spirit Hall, so Chen Xin naturally recognizes them.

Although Qianjun and Jiangmo rarely made a move after joining the Martial Soul Hall, before they retired, they were similar to Ju Gui and Chen Xin in that they were the face of the Martial Soul Elder Hall. In addition, they were only about thirty years older than him, so Chen Xin recognized them.

Chen Xin was unsure whether the man in the lead was a middle-aged man with blond hair and a golden beard.

However, judging from his stance and the aura of soul power emanating from him, this burly, blond middle-aged man's strength is above that of Qianjun and Jiangmo, far surpassing that of the level 95 Ju Gui.

"I am an old lion, ranked fourth in the Hall of Martial Spirit Offerings."

The rugged-looking Lion Douluo said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin secretly rejoiced.

He didn't know much about the elders of the Spirit Hall, but he had heard his father mention the name of the second elder of the Spirit Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo. He knew that this Golden Crocodile Douluo was not only of high seniority, but also incredibly strong, definitely at the pinnacle below the level 99 Peerless Douluo.

Chen Xin had been worried that this person was Jin E, but now he felt a little relieved.

It wasn't the Golden Crocodile that arrived, but a lion whose name he had never heard of before. Although it seemed that his soul power level was a notch higher than his, most likely a level 97 Title Douluo, with Ning Fengzhi's assistance, Chen Xin didn't think he would lose to the lion in front of him.

With Ning Fengzhi's assistance, he could deal with the Lion King, Huo Lie and the other two, plus Tang Hao in the shadows. They would definitely be able to handle Qianjun Jiangmo and Ju Gui. As long as the Spirit Hall did not send any other powerful figures, they could certainly cope.

"Three Venerables and two Elders, the Spirit Hall certainly has a grand gesture! I wonder what brings these five Douluo here?"

At this moment, Huo Lie, who was beside Chen Xin, asked.

"So you're Huo Lie from Blazing Fire Academy? Your strength isn't bad!"

After scrutinizing Huo Lie for a moment, Lion Douluo raised an eyebrow, secretly surprised.

According to the intelligence obtained by the Spirit Hall, Huo Lie has only been a nine-ring Title Douluo for a few years, but under the Lion Douluo's perception, Huo Lie's aura is still above that of the level 95 Chrysanthemum and Ghost, and not much weaker than Thousand-Pound Demon Subduer beside him.

"In the past, Tang Hao colluded with the transformed soul beast Blue Silver Emperor to kill the Pope of my Spirit Hall. He is a traitor to the soul master world!"

Some time ago, the heinous Tang Hao brazenly destroyed my Heavenly Fighting Spirit Temple. Such a crime is simply intolerable.

"Our Spirit Hall is determined to maintain the stability of the Spirit Master world. You must not protect him. Hand over Tang Hao's son, Tang San, who is stained with the blood of a sinful spirit beast. After this Spirit Master Competition concludes, our Spirit Hall will give this father and son, who have betrayed the Spirit Master world, a just trial."

The Lion Douluo's expression hardened, and he spoke with righteous indignation.

"Show off!"

Hearing Lion Douluo's righteous words, Mu Yang secretly gave him a thumbs up.

The Spirit Hall escalated its personal feud with Tang Hao to a matter of great importance to the human spirit master world, labeling Tang Hao as a traitor and a villain. Putting everything else aside, even Ning Fengzhi, who originally intended to help Tang Hao while claiming that the "three upper sects are of one mind," must now be very hesitant.

In the past, the Clear Sky Sect was forced into seclusion by the Spirit Hall. Why didn't the various forces on the continent stand up to oppose it, or even join forces with the Clear Sky Sect to fight against the Spirit Hall?

There's no other reason than that the positions of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts are naturally opposed, and Tang Hao's union with a transformed Soul Beast is tantamount to betraying the human Soul Master world.

Furthermore, since the one who died in the Spirit Hall was Pope Qian Xunji, the only son of "Invincible in the Sky," neither the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan nor the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, nor the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, dared to step forward and provoke this trouble.

It must be understood that in ancient times, the strength of the Soul Master world was far less than it is now. Humans on the continent were all prey for Soul Beasts. Such racial blood feuds could not be completely forgotten even after countless years.

It's acceptable not to indiscriminately kill soul beasts, as soul beasts are the foundation of the prosperity of the soul master world, but to combine with a transformed soul beast is a taboo among taboos.

Of course, in the end, it's just that his fist isn't big enough. If he were truly invincible, taking a few female transformed soul beasts as concubines wouldn't be a problem, and no one or any force would dare to say a word. (End of Chapter)
