"I have it, right here."
Suddenly, a Soul Master walked over tremblingly, came before Zhuge Lan, took out two black cards, and handed them to Zhuge Lan.
Zhuge Lan's eyes lit up; he had been worried that the Ten-Thousand-Year Devil Spider had eaten several people earlier, and if this person was among them, the black cards would have been digested.
As for these black cards, they were useless to him, even though they contained hundreds of millions of gold coins.
"You take them! When we return to the stronghold, just give them to Sword Douluo."
"Has Sword Douluo arrived?" He showed a look of pleasant surprise.
Evidently, the news of Sword Douluo's arrival gave him a great sense of security.
Since the missing disciples had been found, there was no point in staying here.
"Alright, we're heading back now."
…
Alan Village.
Village Chief Yan Ming, leading a group of disciples, warmly welcomed Zhuge Lan and his group.
Upon seeing Zhuge Lan bring back the missing people, Yan Ming stepped forward to greet him and complimented him, saying, "Lord Zhuge Lan, you are truly amazing!"
At this time, another group of people also said, "Indeed, Lord Zhuge Lan's reputation is truly deserved."
[Emotions Points +45112]
[Emotions Points +56211]
[Emotions Points +32122]
From the analysis of the Emotions Points, most of these people were actually flattering him and not truly admiring him from the bottom of their hearts, but that was fine; it added a good amount of Emotions Points for him.
His current plan was to meet with Sword Douluo and then discuss what to do next.
So, he said, "Come, let's enter the village first. Yan Ming, please arrange for these people to rest well. I'm going to see Sword Douluo and the others."
Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "Lord Zhuge Lan, you might not be able to see Sword Douluo right now, because Sword Douluo has gone to another stronghold."
Zhuge Lan frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What about Poison Douluo?!"
"Poison Douluo also went with him," Yan Ming replied.
Zhuge Lan sighed; this meant he couldn't discuss what to do next, and he also had a few doubts in his mind. The first doubt was, who exactly was the mastermind behind the attack on Sect Master Ning?
The second doubt was, who was that female Title Douluo he encountered that day?!
The situation here was shrouded in mist, and it was difficult to escape for a while. It seemed they needed to plan for the long term.
"Then, arrange for them first. I'll go back and rest too."
Yan Ming nodded and began to make arrangements.
In Alan Village, Zhuge Lan used a spirit tool to send a message to Sword Douluo and found that Sword Douluo was at another stronghold, Xiaoye Village. At this time, Xiaoye Village was still under constant attack from Spirit Hall, and Sword Douluo could not leave.
Poison Douluo was at another stronghold called Black Stone Village, which was also under attack from Spirit Hall. Because Poison Douluo's soul power had dropped to Soul Douluo, this place could barely hold on.
It even required Sword Douluo's support.
And here, after he returned, he also suffered several attacks from Spirit Hall. The Soul Master leading the attacks was a Soul Douluo from Spirit Hall, whom he easily defeated.
But he was also confined here. If he were to leave, the remaining Soul Masters would be completely unable to withstand the Soul Douluo's attacks from Spirit Hall.
For a time, he was in a difficult position.
"Should I proactively attack, or defend?"
Regarding this, he decided to proactively attack, but at this time, he received a reply from Sword Douluo, hoping that while he guarded this stronghold, he could also investigate matters concerning the Golden Light Beast, as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was very eager to know.
Whether it was Spirit Hall that attacked Sect Master Ning.
He reluctantly abandoned the idea of attacking Spirit Hall's stronghold and began to look towards the boundless Star Dou Great Forest.
After several days.
He spent tens of thousands of Emotions Points and finally found what he wanted in the system store.
[Demon Dragon's Eye: 300,000 Emotions Points. After refining, it can emit the aura of a 100,000-Year Soul Beast and can track for thousands of miles.]
After thinking for a moment, he directly bought it.
Since he couldn't leave himself, he naturally needed some other things to investigate the Star Dou Great Forest.
A large black eyeball, emitting a man-eating gaze, appeared before him. He began to refine it with his soul power.
With his Title Douluo level soul power, it still took him about two days to completely refine it.
"Demon Dragon's Eye, transform."
A miniature black dragon with wings appeared before him; this was the Demon Dragon's Eye.
"Go, track down the whereabouts of the Golden Light Beast," Zhuge Lan said.
The miniature black dragon flew straight out, then swiftly set off towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
…
Xiaoye Village.
Sword Douluo stood at the village entrance with a group of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples.
Opposite them was a group of Soul Masters from Spirit Hall, with the one leading them exuding the oppressive aura of a Title Douluo.
Sword Douluo looked coldly at the other side. He hadn't expected the situation to be so dire. Now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect only had three strongholds left, and to defend these three strongholds, due to the division of forces, He alone guarded Xiaoye Village, which was also the closest one to Spirit Hall's stronghold.
So, facing the deterrence of Spirit Hall's Title Douluo, Star Tiger Douluo, he picked up the long sword in his hand and said coldly, "Star Tiger Douluo, today is your day of death."
Star Tiger Douluo burst into laughter.
"What a joke. You and I are both Title Douluo. For you to say today is my day of death is a bit too presumptuous. Let this adult experience your strength."
"Martial Soul True Body."
Without any politeness, both sides immediately released their Martial Soul True Bodies. Sword Douluo released his Martial Soul Sword, while Star Tiger Douluo released a giant tiger Spirit hovering in the air.
From its appearance, Star Tiger Douluo's Spirit certainly looked more imposing.
But in terms of the deterrent force it emitted, Sword Douluo was superior.
At this moment, Star Tiger Douluo could no longer laugh. From the moment he released his Spirit, he vaguely felt that he was not a match for this Sword Douluo before him.
However, as a Title Douluo of Spirit Hall, how could he show fear? Even if he had to leave, he had to finish a fight first.
"Let's begin, Sword Douluo."
"Wait a moment, let the disciples withdraw first," Sword Douluo quickly said.
Battles between Title Douluo were not something low-level Soul Masters could watch up close. The reason was that the aftermath of a Title Douluo's struggle was also exceptionally powerful.
Star Tiger Douluo smiled, then agreed with Sword Douluo's suggestion.
After the low-level disciples from both sides left.
Both sides let loose and began to fight.
At first, neither of them used Soul abilities, relying on their Martial Soul True Bodies to fight, and Sword Douluo consistently suppressed Star Tiger Douluo.
Star Tiger Douluo's expression was grim, and he said unwillingly, "Sixth Soul Ability, Ten Tigers Strength."
Suddenly, the fighting tiger Martial Soul True Body began to split apart, and ten identical tigers appeared. Of course, only the one in the very center was larger, while the others were considerably smaller.
But their combat power had a qualitative improvement.
