huh?
A direct attack?!
Are the people from the Spirit Hall branch all this unreasonable?
No.
There's no killing intent.
Chen Changfeng's heart skipped a beat. Facing the pair of jade hands reaching out to grab him, Chen Changfeng remained calm and composed, his body naturally tilting to the right. The jade hand of the dark figure almost grazed his earlobe, but Chen Changfeng quickly realized something was wrong.
As Chen Changfeng retreated, a cloud of white dust suddenly sprayed out, quickly enveloping the retreating Chen Changfeng.
The purple destructive power flashed and disappeared.
The white dust enveloped Chen Changfeng for a while before being slowly blown away by the forest breeze, leaving behind a Chen Changfeng lying unconscious with his eyes closed on the ground.
Looking at the unconscious Chen Changfeng, the woman in black lightly brushed the dust off her hands and sighed, "The Spirit Hall's affairs are not for the knowledge of unauthorized personnel. However, I will get you safely out of the Star Dou Great Forest. For now, you'll just have to sleep for a few days."
Shaking her head, the woman in black slowly walked towards the unconscious Chen Changfeng, then squatted down and took out a sturdy soul power rope from her bosom, grabbing Chen Changfeng's hands to bind them.
Just as the woman in black was about to bind Chen Changfeng, a sudden change occurred.
Chen Changfeng, who should have been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, and with a twist of his hands, he seized the woman in black's unpreparedness and grabbed her hands tightly.
"So it really is the Spirit Hall. Then I don't need to pretend anymore."
Startled by the sudden change, the woman in black reacted quickly. After her hands were restrained, she kicked Chen Changfeng hard in the abdomen.
Seeing that the woman in black was still not giving up, Chen Changfeng sneered and kicked out with his right foot, colliding heavily with her shin. Her beautiful purple eyes narrowed instantly, filled with pain.
Having landed a blow, Chen Changfeng didn't stop. His left foot, like a ribbon, wrapped around the woman's legs, and the two fell sideways, Chen Changfeng pinning her down.
The woman in black was completely stunned by the sudden attack.
The next second, she struggled fiercely.
Seeing her resistance, Chen Changfeng's scalp tightened. He slammed his hand down on her knee, pressing down hard. Since he had been supporting himself with one hand, this sudden movement caused him to lose his balance and fall flat on his face, completely pinning the woman to the ground.
Their eyes met.
The masculine aura emanating from him caused the woman in black to feel a rush of blood to her head and become dizzy. Her purple eyes widened more than ever before.
Panic and humiliation instantly swept through her
body. She instinctively resisted.
The soft sensation beneath her made Chen Changfeng's heart tremble slightly. He cursed inwardly, "What a disaster!" Her movement made their bodies fit together even more perfectly.
Awkward!
A major social disaster.
The distance between them was so great that Chen Changfeng could almost feel her hot breath.
At the crucial moment, Chen Changfeng reacted quickly, reaching into his robes to pull out his Spirit Hall identification token, which he placed before the woman in black, thus suppressing her imminent burst of soul power.
Yes, it was just a Spirit Hall identification token, not the so-called Elder's Decree. After all
, this was just a branch headquarters.
Even if these people recognized the Elder's Decree, they would probably be intimidated. It was better to appear as an ordinary person so he could blend into the team on this mission.
"A Spirit Hall identification badge?" The black-
clad girl frowned slightly upon seeing the identification, her tense emotions gradually easing.
So it was one of their own; it was a misunderstanding.
"Now, can you get off me?"
However, the black-clad woman quickly realized their position; the masculine aura emanating from above made her feel dizzy, and she gritted her teeth angrily. With
a slight smile, Chen Changfeng forcefully propped himself up and pulled the black-clad woman to her feet.
The black-clad woman glared fiercely at Chen Changfeng.
She unconsciously began to sized him up.
Now the black-clad woman was absolutely certain that he was also here for the mission of intercepting the Heavenly Dou envoy, but she had never seen this person in the Spirit Hall branch.
"From another branch hall?
Or did the main hall of Spirit City send him here specifically because they didn't trust him?
" "Do you know the exact time the Heaven Dou Empire's delegation will pass through?"
While being scrutinized, Chen Changfeng was also observing the woman in black, thinking she must be the branch hall master of the Spirit Hall in this city.
Directly under the Pope's command.
Regarding this mission, she should have more detailed and comprehensive information than he did.
Hearing Chen Changfeng's question, the woman in black was basically certain of her guess; he was from the Spirit Hall headquarters in Spirit City.
"Yes."
"Scouts report that the delegation will pass through the town at dusk today, and will likely stay there. However, the Heaven Dou Empire's security measures for this mission are very good; the reliability of the information remains to be verified."
"Are you sent by His Holiness the Pope to assist us? I am Su Su, the branch hall master of the Spirit Hall, and the overall commander of this mission."
Su Su described truthfully.
In their brief exchange, she had already sensed that her opponent's soul power was much higher than her own.
Probably a level 70 Soul Saint.
With a Soul Saint joining the team, the casualties among Soul Masters could be greatly reduced, and he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
Su Su's mood instantly improved.
"Chen Changfeng."
Chen Changfeng simply gave his name. He was somewhat surprised. Although he hadn't seen the woman's face, judging from her voice, she should be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Such a young Soul Emperor could be considered a genius. Indeed, the Spirit Hall never lacked geniuses.
Chen Changfeng?
The name sounded somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Su Su didn't press him, but led him deeper into the dense forest.
Some low-level Soul Beasts along the way didn't attack after sensing their aura.
The two passed through a dense forest.
The view suddenly opened up.
It turned out that a mountain path was hidden deep in this forest. Although the mountain path was a bit narrow, it was quite flat, and a carriage could pass through without any problem. Moreover, the path was situated between two low mountain peaks, with vegetation and trees dozens of meters high forming an ideal concealment barrier. The thousand Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall were already positioned on either side.
"To avoid suspicion during the meeting between Heaven Dou and Star Luo, the royal entourage mostly traveled through the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, precisely to prevent outsiders from tracking their movements."
Su Su stopped in front of an ancient tree, pointing to the cliffs on either side. "This terrain is perfect for an ambush. Before they arrived, we had already dealt with their scouts and guards lying in wait, turning the tables on them."
"As per His Holiness the Pope's instructions, our mission is to intercept their key figures within ten minutes."
"Because this place is relatively close to the outer town, most of the people there have been replaced by Soul Master legions and the army. Once the battle begins here, reinforcements from the outer town will arrive within fifteen minutes. Therefore, our plan is to break through their defenses within ten minutes and then withdraw completely."
"My lord, do you understand the operation plan? We must withdraw when the ten minutes are up."
Su Su looked at Chen Changfeng with expectant eyes.
Actually, she herself possessed considerable combat strength.
However, Su Su still hoped that Chen Changfeng could intervene at a crucial moment.
Chen Changfeng's lips curled slightly upward, and he casually said, "One minute is enough."
In truth, the battle would be over once the Heavenly Dou Royal Family's team appeared. (
