If you start from Martial Soul City and enter the Misty Hills, you will need to pass through a valley along the way.
At the valley's exit, more than two hundred Soul Masters intercepted five times their number of people in the valley.
More than a thousand Soul Masters were dressed in night clothes, led by Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Ghost Mei.
"Tuoba Yan... Tuoba Xi..." Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan glanced at the leader blocking his path, his tone ambiguous, and asked, "What are you doing? Are you here on a mission with me?"
Tuoba Xi replied, "No, I'm here to stop you."
"Stop me?" Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan asked in astonishment, "Do you know whose orders I'm carrying out? I'm carrying out the Pope's orders!"
"What if the Pope's order is wrong?"
"That's not my concern. I only carry out the Pope's orders. Tuoba Xi, your Tuoba family is renowned in the Soul Master world for its loyalty and righteousness. Do you intend to be a disloyal person?"
"My loyalty is to the Spirit Hall, not to Bibi Dong personally!" Tuoba Xi said firmly, "My heart tells me that Bibi Dong is wrong. She shouldn't have sent you to kill Tang San at this time. It's not worth tarnishing the Spirit Hall's reputation just because of his own personal whim! I, Tuoba Xi, as an elder of the Spirit Hall, have a duty to correct the Pope's mistakes!"
Bibi Dong has gone crazy again.
Some time ago, she changed the venue for the grand finals of the tournament to Martial Soul City, luring the participating teams from both empires to Martial Soul City to compete.
Then, she ordered Lordiara, the former vice-captain of the Soul Hunting Brigade and now the captain of the Soul Hunting Brigade, one of the four Platinum Bishops, to select his troops and accompany Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to hunt down Tang San in the Misty Hills.
Although the people involved were all masked, they were all Soul Masters.
In the world of Soul Masters, besides the Spirit Hall, who else can send out thousands of Soul Masters to participate in a hunting operation at once?
Once the hunt happened, everyone would assume that the assassin was from the Spirit Hall.
Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered, "This is called disobeying orders!"
Tuoba Xi shook his head. "A wrong order cannot be carried out. Precisely because I respect the Pope and the High Priest, I, Tuoba Xi, will not, like you, condone the Pope's mistakes, or even encourage her improper conduct. My heart tells me that this is not helping the Pope, but harming her!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo narrowed his long eyelashes, a cold light flashing within them. "Tuoba Xi, I have a mission to complete and don't have time for idle chatter. Are you going to move aside or not?"
"No." Tuoba Xi said calmly and firmly, "You've known me, Tuoba Xi, for quite some time now. I, Tuoba Xi, am not one to flatter or fawn. Chrysanthemum Douluo, go back, or I'll make things difficult for you."
"Are you blocking our way?" The one who interrupted was Ghost Douluo, Ghost Phantom.
Nine spirit rings fell from the ghost's body.
Ghostly and ruthless, he was a man of few words, and five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—fell from his head as a standard configuration.
Tuoba Xi was determined, and nine spirit rings rose beneath his feet.
Compared to Ghost Douluo, Tuoba Xi's spirit ring configuration is much better.
The spirit rings, from the inside out, are yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red.
Their imposing aura surged forth, whipping up a fierce wind that made it difficult for the Soul Masters behind Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to move without using their Martial Souls. An invisible aura enveloped everyone, increasing the pressure on them all.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's aura erupted, echoing that of Ghost Douluo.
Clap clap clap clap clap
The three forces clashed, producing a series of sounds like firecrackers.
Chrysanthemum Douluo rebuked lightly, "Tuoba Xi, I don't have time for your nonsense. Get out of the way; if you delay important matters, I will hold you responsible!"
"How about adding me to the list!" Tuoba Yan took a step forward, his martial spirit activating.
Six spirit rings rose from beneath Tuoba Yan's feet.
The colors are yellow, purple, black, black, red, and red.
Although Tuoba Yan was only a six-ring Soul Emperor, the aura he exuded formed a gale that swept up fallen leaves and pebbles on the ground, crashing like ocean waves against the invisible barrier formed by the auras of the Title Douluo Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Tuoba Yan said, "Our Spirit Hall has always been renowned in the spirit master world for upholding justice and maintaining peace. How could we engage in such despicable behavior that is universally condemned!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo reminded him, "He is Tang Hao's son!"
"Yes, he's Tang Hao's son. Tang Hao must be protecting him secretly!"
"Tang Hao..." Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes flickered with fear.
Even Ghost Douluo, who rarely spoke, showed a flicker of fear in his eyes.
Both of them had been defeated by Tang Hao. Even when they formed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and with the addition of a Title Douluo possessing a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, they were still defeated by Tang Hao.
Tang Hao is too strong!
More than a decade later, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo still feel fear whenever they hear Tang Hao's name.
Tuoba Yan said, "Leaving aside the fact that the Pope's idea of sending you to assassinate Tang San was terrible, even if you were to carry it out, with Tang Hao present, plus the Tiandou Empire's participating team—all of them Soul Masters, especially their parents like Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi—accompanying them, I'm certain your assassination attempt will fail! We won't gain any benefit whatsoever, and we'll only tarnish the reputation of our Spirit Hall!"
After a moment's internal struggle, Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "We are under orders and have no choice. Tuoba Yan, you can't stop me?"
"Really?" Tuoba Yan asked in return.
"Old ghost, use your Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted and ran towards his good buddy Ghost Douluo.
"The Realm of Yin and Yang Stillness!"
In an instant, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill formed by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo froze Tuoba Yan and Tuoba Xi in place.
Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted, "Lor Diarra, what are you waiting for? Lead your men out of the valley and hunt down Tang San!"
A dazzling light emanated from Tuoba Yan's body, and his pupils turned golden. His martial spirit instantly merged.
"Bang!"
Tuoba Yan raised his fist, his fourth soul ring shone brightly, and he punched the invisible barrier.
"Eight Extremes Collapse!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"
The sounds of eight bursts of hidden energy rang out simultaneously, and the barrier formed by the Yin-Yang Stillness Domain crumbled inch by inch.
"This...?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was taken aback. He separated from Ghost Douluo in mid-air, clutching his chest, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stared at Tuoba Yan with fear in their eyes.
"Don't hurt anyone!"
Lordiara yelled and charged at Tuoba Yan.
Tuoba Yan unleashed a whirlwind kick at his opponent.
However, when Lordiara rushed in front of Tuoba Yan, the spirit ring did not light up.
"Bang!"
As expected.
Lordiara was lifted and sent flying by Tuoba Yan in one move, blood splattering in mid-air.
Tuoba Yan was stunned for a moment, and Tuoba Xi was also stunned.
Lordiara is a Platinum Bishop, an Eighth Ring Soul Douluo, yet he's not this easily defeated.
In just one round, Tuoba Yan defeated Lordiara without using any soul skills.
