The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 358 The Spirit Hall is Destroyed

The Spirit Hall experienced a brief period of grief due to Qian Daoliu's disappearance, but the scope of this grief was very small.

Since Qian Daoliu had not personally managed the Spirit Hall for more than a decade, most people had long been accustomed to his absence.

The true core of the current leadership of the Spirit Hall is Bibi Dong.

People are always forgetful, especially after the establishment of the Martial Soul Empire, when Bibi Dong led the empire to victory after victory.

The Star Luo Empire is now defunct in name only, with only Tianxing City remaining. Due to its great distance, the Martial Soul Empire's army has not yet been able to advance.

Celebration.

Wuhun City is holding a lively celebration today to commemorate the victory at Tianxing City ahead of schedule.

From then on, they, as citizens of the Martial Soul Empire, would have a vast world of their own.

Residents, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, took to the streets, forming dense crowds.

Rumble—

Just then, whether it was the sound of tens of thousands of people trampling or something else, the ground began to shake slightly, but it was so inconspicuous in the midst of the deafening celebration.

The beast tide is here again.

Suddenly someone shouted, but it was quickly drowned out by the noisy celebrations.

Until an urgent horn sounded from the city wall, its howling echoing throughout the entire Spirit City.

The nearly 300,000 residents of the city turned around one by one, looking at the 60-meter-high city wall with puzzlement.

The haphazardly paved streets fell silent in an instant.

Suddenly, someone remembered what had happened after the last bugle call and exclaimed in surprise.

Beast Tide!

Wuhun City was thrown into chaos.

Rumble—

And at that moment, the earth-shaking roar became clear.

Several streaks of light flashed across the sky: "Ordinary residents, immediately return to your houses; the Soul Master Legion, prepare for battle."

Bibi Dong's voice instantly spread throughout the entire Spirit City.

With a pillar of support, people's anxious hearts were calmed down considerably.

Bibi Dong and the group of titled members from the Spirit Hall stood in the sky above Spirit City, watching the spirit beasts continuously pouring out of the Star Dou Great Forest. Their faces were extremely ugly.

The Spirit Hall has suffered great losses recently, especially with the fall of Qian Daoliu, and its strength is no longer what it used to be.

Although the soul beasts also suffered losses, their losses were much smaller compared to the others.

Not to mention the powerful dragon, the bear and the tree spirit were not easy opponents either.

"How could this happen?"

Bibi Dong's face was grim, her fists clenched tightly: "These two soul beasts were clearly severely injured when the Second Elder self-destructed, how did they recover so quickly?"

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Qingluan Douluo's voice was somewhat hoarse.

He still remembered the scene of the Lion Douluo, a level 97 titled warrior, being torn apart by that bear's claw. And what would happen if he, a level 96 titled warrior, were to face it?

"You, Guangling Douluo, and Jiangmo Qianjun go to stop that tree demon, and I'll go stop that bear."

Bibi Dong created a clone, which was then transformed into her second martial soul.

Now that her second spirit rings are full, she can fight any spirit beast except for that dragon.

Moreover, with her Eternal Wound, as long as she can injure that soul beast, she has a chance of winning.

"What if that dragon arrives?"

"Then retreat first!" Bibi Dong coldly issued an order to the people below, instructing them to evacuate the city's residents.

"Humans!"

Upon seeing the four red spirit rings beneath Bibi Dong's feet, Xiong Jun's eyes blazed with ferocity. He raised his thick arm high and unleashed a devastating Heaven-Tearing Claw attack.

At this point, the beast tide also became entangled with humans.

At the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San watched the Soul Masters constantly entangled with Soul Beasts, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

His parents' hatred had haunted him for many years.

Although we are currently outmatched, seeking revenge against the Spirit Hall in another way is certainly a viable option.

Thinking about it, he found a suitable target and rushed out.

Suddenly.

A long, drawn-out dragon roar echoed from the depths of the Starry Sky Forest, traveling across vast distances to reach this place.

Bibi Dong, who was fighting Xiong Jun, suddenly changed her expression.

She had already experienced the power of that golden-eyed black dragon firsthand. Now that Qian Daoliu was not around, if she were to be attacked by these two soul beasts, even if she were immortal, she would not be able to withstand it.

"Retreat, abandon Wuhun City."

Bibi Dong used the Eternal Creation technique to force Xiong Jun back, and shouted loudly to the Spirit Hall members.

With such a vast difference in strength, the titled members of the Spirit Hall had long harbored the intention to retreat. Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, they hurriedly covered the ordinary spirit masters as they fought and withdrew.

"How dare you, you brat!"

But this retreat instantly made the situation on the battlefield clear.

While Guangling Douluo was covering everyone's retreat, he suddenly spotted a human among the dense crowd of soul beasts.

This human not only escaped attacks from the beast horde, but also continuously helped the spirit beasts hunt down the Spirit Hall's spirit masters.

Guangling Douluo's eyes turned icy cold, and anger surged within him. He forcefully drew the longbow in his hand to its fullest extent, and his soul power surged forth: "Fifth Soul Skill, Endless Arrival; Eighth Soul Skill, Limitless Limit."

A dazzling arrow was launched from the longbow, then rapidly split in mid-air, forming a dense rain of arrows that enveloped the human.

At this moment, Tang San had a smug smile on his face as he pulled the Eight Spider Lances from an unknown Soul Master.

Suddenly, he felt a bone-chilling cold assail him.

Following my senses, I turned my head and saw a dense barrage of arrows coming from the sky.

Some arrows seemed to be able to be pinpointed, heading straight for him.

Sensing the power contained in the arrow, Tang San dared not be careless. He summoned the Clear Sky Hammer and used the Ghost Shadow Step to dodge and strike continuously to defend himself.

But how easy is it to resist the furious attack of a level 96 Light Feather Douluo?

Tang San had just blocked two arrows with his Clear Sky Hammer when he was almost knocked away by the impact.

Ding ding ding—

Tang San's eyes were serious. He used his waist to generate power and his arms to strike, constantly using the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to accumulate power, while blocking and using the force to retreat.

However, the rain of arrows was too dense.

In a brief moment of respite, the Haotian Hammer was deflected by a heavy blow, and an arrow grazed his right arm, taking away a large chunk of flesh.

Tang San felt a chill run down his spine and, enduring the excruciating pain, quickly brought the Eight Spider Lances in front of him for defense.

Click click click—

The arrows kept striking the eight spider spears, and the hard spears shattered into several pieces in no time.

Tang San was also sent flying backward by this tremendous force.

Tang San's pupils widened in shock. In a moment of desperation, he forcibly changed his position in mid-air and hid under a soul beast.

With a sound of flesh being torn apart, the soul beast fell to the ground. Just as Tang San was feeling relieved, an arrow pierced through the soul beast and stuck into his body.

"The Clear Sky Hammer? That's from that kid in the Soul Master Competition."

The situation on Guangling Douluo's side also attracted the attention of others. Ju Douluo remembered Tang San after just one glance.

However, they couldn't care less about such minor characters at this point, because the golden-eyed black dragon could appear at any time.

"Retreat immediately!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo screamed in terror, and then he and the others quickly retreated.

After the Spirit City was breached by the Spirit Beasts, Pope Bibi Dong led the remaining forces of the Spirit Hall to retreat to Star Luo City.

This news quickly caused a stir across the entire continent.

The food chain relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts has lasted for an unknown number of years, the exact number of which is impossible to ascertain. This is the second beast tide in modern history.

Although the first beast tide was already quite astonishing, Wuhun City managed to hold on and did not suffer any major losses on the surface.

Although they were shocked by the power of the soul beasts, most people didn't take it seriously and just treated it as a topic of conversation.

This also indirectly proves the strength of the Spirit Hall and the power of Qian Daoliu.

This time, however, was different. In Wuhun City alone, 20,000 Soul Masters perished, and the civilian population suffered even greater losses.

There are also rumors that Bibi Dong and the powerful figures of the Spirit Hall were chased by spirit beasts and had to abandon the civilians.

However, compared to these rumors, people are now more worried about whether the soul beasts will launch attacks elsewhere.

Li Xun and Poseidon had just returned from the Ice Sea when they heard this rumor on the street. Without bothering to wander around, they hurriedly returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's residence.

Thump thump thump—

Li Xun gently knocked on the open door and entered the room.

"You're back. How did your trip go?" Ning Fengzhi asked with a smile.

At this moment, not only the laughing officials from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heavenly Dou Sect were in the room, but Qian Renxue was also there.

"It went even more smoothly than expected."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with some people, Li Xun casually sat down next to Qian Renxue: "Teacher, I heard there's been a beast tide. Is that true?"

"Our spies have brought back definite news." Ning Fengzhi pushed a document in front of him over.

The documents are quite thick, mostly concerning the losses of the Spirit Hall and the movements of the spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Li Xun flipped through the pages one by one, his brows furrowing unusually: "Such a high number of casualties? And the soul beasts are still in pursuit. Have these soul beasts gone mad?"

"The main reason is that Wuhun City and Xingluo City are very close to the Star Dou Great Forest, which gives soul beasts a lot of convenience."

Ning Fengzhi said solemnly, "We are currently discussing whether the soul beasts will attack Tiandou along the Star Dou Great Forest in the future."

While the casualties of 20,000 Soul Masters represent a huge loss for the Spirit Hall, it is still manageable.

The Heavenly Dou Empire cannot afford such casualties.

"Although I don't think it's likely, we have to be on guard, since even the slightest mistake could result in a large number of civilian casualties." Li Xun closed the documents in his hand.

As a subordinate of the Dragon God, Di Tian was most concerned about the Silver Dragon King, who was sleeping hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest.

As long as the Silver Dragon King remains undiscovered, Di Tian will not take any overly reckless actions.

"Then let's set up two heavy military defense lines around the Star Dou Great Forest," Ning Fengzhi sighed.

"What about the refugees from Wuhun City and Xingluo?" Qian Renxue suddenly asked at that moment.

As the soul beasts continued to wreak havoc within the Star Luo territory, causing numerous casualties, many people also fled to the Heaven Dou Empire.

However, most of these refugees are now on the border, with only a small number managing to enter Tiandou territory through gaps.

Over the years, Tiandou has kept records in every region, making it easy to identify these refugees.

"Disperse these people across the various provinces."

"Okay, this will prevent some people with ulterior motives from causing trouble." Qian Renxue nodded to Li Xun.

"Teacher, while the Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong are currently preoccupied with their own problems, I need to go out again to hunt for my next spirit ring," Li Xun said.

"Sure, now is indeed a good time, but where are you going?" Ning Fengzhi asked with some curiosity.
