Martial Soul City, Pope Hall!
The Soul Douluo Warrior responsible for receiving the group from Xingluo Empire in Aquipeia Forest looked up respectfully at Bi Bidong seated above and bowed as he spoke, "Your Holiness, I have already followed your instructions to lead a group into Aquipeia Forest and successfully located the people from Xingluo Empire!"
Bi Bidong appeared somewhat surprised, "Oh? So quick, have they suffered any casualties?"
She had already prepared for news only a few days later but hadn't expected it to be this fast!
The former responded truthfully, "Your Holiness, the group from Xingluo Empire is safe and sound. It doesn't seem like they've encountered abyssal creatures or ferocious beasts!"
"It's just that each of them looks incredibly fatigued, surely they've stayed in Aquipeia Forest for quite a while!"
Bi Bidong nodded thoughtfully, "Since they haven't encountered attacks, what is their purpose for staying in Aquipeia Forest?"
She then tapped the ground lightly with her wand, creating a faint sound…
The Soul Douluo Warrior paused for a moment, appearing a bit awkward…
From not far away, Yueguan noticed, and coldly reprimanded, "Didn't you hear His Holiness's question? Speak clearly!"
Meanwhile, Gui Mei stood expressionlessly, seemingly unwilling to get involved…
The Soul Douluo trembled, responding fearfully, "Your Holiness, I also don't know the purpose of Xingluo Empire's group staying in Aquipeia Forest for so long!"
"However, personally, I am more inclined to… they might have gotten lost in Aquipeia Forest!"
This statement plunged the entire hall into silence…
This situation left the former with a chill at heart, unaware of what might have angered them again…
After a while, Bi Bidong's eerie laughter suddenly echoed, "Lost in Aquipeia Forest, haha, the people of Xingluo Empire are truly becoming more incompetent!"
She then waved her hand, "Forget it, where are they? Did you bring them back to Martial Soul City?"
The Soul Douluo's head shook like a rattle, "Your Holiness, I already informed the group from Xingluo Empire as instructed, but they don't seem appreciative, even doubting our Martial Soul Hall's purpose!"
"For that reason, they chose to remain in Aquipeia Forest temporarily, planning to leave on their own later!"
Bi Bidong was indifferent to this, "Leave on their own, huh… fine, as long as it's confirmed that the group from Xingluo Empire hasn't encountered any incidents!"
"Gui Mei, arrange for people to convey this news to the royal household of Xingluo Empire and Tian Dou Imperial Family later."
Gui Mei, hearing this, naturally wouldn't refuse the former's command…
"Yes, Your Holiness!!"
Bi Bidong glanced again at the Soul Douluo still standing hurriedly in place, "You've worked hard on this trip, you may leave now."
The latter breathed a sigh of relief, simply acknowledged, and left…
Once he left, Yueguan opened his mouth and said, "Your Holiness, are the people of Xingluo Empire really just lost and trapped in Aquipeia Forest? I feel… something's not quite right"
Gui Mei also expressed doubt, "Hmm, for a dignified nation to send people who could get lost in Aquipeia Forest is indeed hard to believe"
Bi Bidong shook her head, "It's not impossible. Xingluo Empire has had no interaction with Tian Dou Empire for many years. Forgetting the way out of Aquipeia Forest isn't impossible either"
"Besides, if the people of Xingluo Empire aren't lost, surely they wouldn't deliberately remain in Aquipeia Forest to try collaborating with soul beasts or abyssal creatures?"
"The former still has some possibility, the latter is entirely creatures that only know how to slaughter and devour!!"
Bi Bidong interrupted the former's words, "But then…"
"No 'but' about it, convey the fact that the group from Xingluo Empire is still alive to the royal households of Xingluo Empire and Tian Dou Empire, beyond that, we needn't get involved"
Martial Soul Hall has already wasted too much time on this matter, the rest shall be left for them to handle on their own!
...
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, analyzing, "Ye Hui, Yue Zhengyu, can you two handle the Soul Sage and Soul Emperor in front of us, any problems?"
Yuanen Yehui answered without hesitation, "No problem!"
With some caution, she has confidence in slaying these guys even on her own!
Yue Zhengyu's mouth twitched, "Wulin, you really dare to say, but with Ye Hui around, it shouldn't be a big problem!"
Tang Wulin nodded, then spoke to the others, "Then Xing Lan, Wu Siduo, and I will handle the remaining Evil Soul Masters. Lizhi and Xiao Yan provide support from the back. Xie Xie waits for the chance to strike, aim for a one-hit kill if possible!"
In facing Evil Soul Masters, it's imperative to fight quickly and decisively!
Upon hearing this, everyone responded in unison, "Understood"
The leading man in black sneered, "Hmph, to dare formulate strategies right in front of us, truly oblivious!! Go! Kill them!"
Following his words, the eight or nine Evil Soul Masters behind him burst forth with intense evil aura, rushing toward Xu Xiaoyan and Xu Lizhi…
Tang Wulin remained unfazed, saying, "No way! First Soul Skill, coiling!"
Hundreds of resilient Blue Silver Grass visibly swept forward, attempting to block them…
One of the Evil Soul Masters responded, a look of disdain on his face, "Mere Blue Silver Grass, Second Soul Skill, Heartdrill Bonepiercer!"
As soon as his third soul ring beneath him flickered, a dense mist was released from his body. The terrifying corrosive force evaporated all the moisture from the air…
Upon contact with the Blue Silver Grass, it withered within seconds…
Realizing the unfavorable situation, Tang Wulin immediately retreated backward, but unexpectedly, the mist rapidly accelerated, aiming directly at his face!
Xie Xie gasped at this sight, "Wulin, be careful!"
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, "First Soul Skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier!"
A pale golden shield burst forth, forcibly cutting off the mist…
Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief, casting a grateful glance over, "Thank you, Wu Siduo!"
Wu Siduo glanced at him, her expression serious, "Don't be too happy too soon! There are other Evil Soul Masters!"
Sure enough, just as they were talking, the other Evil Soul Masters almost simultaneously released their soul skills!
"Fourth Soul Skill, Blood Rain Elysium!!"
"Third Soul Skill, Vengeful Spirit's Call!"
"Third Soul Skill, Ghastly Shadows!!"
Noticing this, Ye Xinglan hurriedly shouted to Xu Xiaoyan in the back, "Xiao Yan, quickly interrupt them!!"
Having already prepared, Xu Xiaoyan instantly waved her magic wand in hand…
"Second Soul Skill, Starlight Feedback!!"
The wand flickered with a gentle glow, swiftly covering several Evil Soul Masters ahead…
Any Evil Soul Master covered had their spirits impacted to a certain extent, causing them to be dazed, forcibly interrupting their ongoing soul skill release!
Ye Xinglan naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip, raising her Star God Sword, coldly declaring, "Fourth Soul Skill, Sword Starfall!!"
