Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 389 Coming in droves
"Damn it, the actions of the Tianming Sect were indeed designed by the Soul Palace."

The terrible guess in his mind was confirmed, Xuan Kongzi's face darkened, he took a step forward, ripples appeared in the space, and his figure instantly appeared above the Alchemist Guild.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are the people coming this time actors? Or... nevermind, just prepare for the worst case scenario!"

Thinking of this, he had an idea and sent a message through the Sky Network, asking Zi Yan and the others to enter the highest level of combat readiness. Then he moved and appeared above the Alchemist Guild, standing side by side with Xuan Kongzi.

Looking into the sky, I saw a black cloud surging in from afar. In the blink of an eye, it covered the sky of Jilei City.

Above the black cloud, Hun Yun stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe rustling in the cold wind. His eyes were cold and cruel, with a hideous smile on the corner of his mouth, like a wolf staring at its prey, emitting a heart-pounding chill.

Behind him, many powerful men from the Soul Palace lined up in an orderly manner, surrounded by a cold and majestic black mist that almost suffocated them.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the atmosphere in Jilei City suddenly became heavy and depressing.

Many forces stationed in Jilei City gathered together uneasily, looking up at the Soul Palace army in the sky. Whispers rose and fell among the crowd, like waves of low humming, and a turbulent undercurrent surged with it.

"Looking at this situation, is the Soul Palace going to take action against Yao Jun?"

"Damn it, it's so rare to have a descendant who can compete with the children of the imperial family, is he going to die just like that? Damn the Soul Clan..."

"The task of delaying time is accomplished. I hope the Second Heavenly Lord can fulfill his promise."

"Hehe, you deserve it. It's only natural that you're targeted for showing off like that... The title of number one is not easy to get!"

"Asshole, what did you say?"

"Great Elder, our sect has always been on good terms with Danta, and Yaojun also saved my life. Can Huazong help Danta fight the enemy?"

"Dad, what should we do? Can you help Lin Yuan?"

"Today's matter is about the grudge between our Soul Palace and Danta." Hun Yun glanced at the gathered forces with disdain and said coldly, "If any force dares to intervene, it will be an enemy of our Soul Palace. One day, the Soul Palace will definitely wipe out their entire family and show no mercy..."

The ruthless and resolute declaration forcibly suppressed everyone's restless emotions. The noise in Jilei City suddenly stopped, turning into a suffocating silence.

In Zhongzhou, facing the might of the Soul Palace, few forces have the courage and strength to resist head-on.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some even secretly rejoiced in their hearts - fortunately, the Soul Palace's move this time was aimed at Danta and had nothing to do with them.

"Hunyun, you are too arrogant!"

Seeing that people's hearts were no longer useful, Xuan Kongzi's face was gloomy, his eyes were like lightning, he stared directly at Hun Yun, and his aura surged around him, as if a raging wave was brewing.

“Hehe, Xuankongzi, even if I’m rampant, what can you do about it?” Hunyun smiled sinisterly, his voice piercing with cruelty, “If you know what’s good for you, tie up the boy next to you and hand him over. Then, I can spare your life at my discretion…”

After a pause, he looked at Lin Yuan steadily and said in a cold voice: "Boy, I warned you in the Tianlei Mountains that if you offend my Soul Clan... you are seeking death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the powerful aura of a semi-saint level was released, and terrifying pressure spread like a tide.

Under this terrifying pressure, everyone in the city turned pale in an instant, and some of the weaker ones collapsed directly to the ground - facing the pressure from a semi-saint, most people could hardly muster the courage to resist.

The gap between a saint and a venerable is such a despairing chasm.

"Humph, boring provocation."

Xuan Kongzi snorted coldly, and a powerful fighting spirit burst out from his body, transforming into a strong momentum as solid as a rock, firmly resisting the pressure from Hunyun. "Lin Yuan is the next generation commander of my Danta. If you want to touch him, you must get past me first..."

Lin Yuan did not flinch either. He took a step forward and looked directly at Hun Yun. "Old thief Hun Yun, it's not that easy to kill me!"

Seeing this, Hun Yun looked towards the void.

A subtle voice came into his ears, and Hun Yun curled his lips, revealing a ferocious smile: "Hehe, wait until I capture your soul, and then I will teach you how to speak!"

After saying that, he suddenly stretched out his palm, and a vast black mist surged out, quickly condensing into a pitch-black giant hand a thousand feet long.

"Hands that cover the sky!"

With a loud shout, Hun Yun waved his hand, and a giant hand of a thousand feet long pressed down towards Lin Yuan. Wherever it passed, the space collapsed like a broken mirror.

Just as Xuan Kongzi and Lin Yuan were preparing to resist, a familiar curse suddenly sounded in the sky.

"Damn it, Hunyun, you shameless old man, are you kidding me? You are really bullying the weak. You are a half-saint, attacking a junior in his early twenties, and attacking my student. Do you think I am made of mud?"

The next moment, the space shook slightly, and an old man flashed over and stood in front of Lin Yuan.

As soon as this figure appeared, he raised his arm and a vast stream of fighting spirit containing strong lightning flashed towards the pitch-black giant hand that was a thousand feet long.

The streak of lightning and the giant black hand collided violently in mid-air.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, a terrifying energy storm swept out, tearing the surrounding space into pieces.

The pitch-black giant hand and the streak of fighting spirit disappeared into thin air at the same time after a fierce entanglement.

"Mang Tianchi, you damned man, you are here to ruin my business again."

Seeing the familiar figure, Hun Yun's eyes seemed calm, as if he had expected it, but his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, as if he was angry.

"Hmph, of course it's me!" Mang Tianchi snorted coldly, staring coldly at Hun Yun, "If I don't take action, my proud student will be bullied by you, a shameless old thing? Haha, it's not your turn to teach Lin Yuan how to speak..."

At this point, his face turned cold, and a pressure that was no less than that of Soul Cloud burst out without reservation, sweeping towards the sky.

Under the pressure of the Semi-Saint, the black clouds covering the sky also trembled and cracks appeared.

Xuan Kongzi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this - Mang Tianchi's strength was unfathomable, and he was extremely protective of his people. With his protection of Lin Yuan, the Soul Palace would not be able to succeed today.

"Mr. Mang, it's great that you're here!" Lin Yuan showed joy on his face and bowed to Mang Tianchi.

"I expected that the Soul Clan might cause trouble, so I came along to see what was happening. It turned out to be just as I expected!" Mang Tianchi smiled proudly and said proudly, "Don't worry, with me here, you won't get hurt at all this time!"

Then, he turned to look at Hun Yun, and said in a very cold tone: "Hun Yun, I am here, you can't touch Lin Yuan, please leave..."

After staring at Mang Tianchi for a moment, Hun Yun's mouth suddenly curled up into a strange smile.

“Hehehe, Mang Tianchi, did you really think that I didn’t expect that you might take action? Do you really think you can protect that kid? Today, there are more than one Semi-Saint coming. If we delay, something bad will happen. Gu You, don’t hide... come out and do something.” As soon as he finished speaking, the space beside Hun Yun twisted and a dark crack appeared. A cold breath seeped out from it, and the surrounding space seemed to solidify.

Then, the figure of a skinny old man slowly stepped out from the void.

The person who came was dressed in gray and white clothes, holding a skull crutch in his hand, and his eyes were sunken with two faint green lights flashing in them, giving people a gloomy and weird feeling.

The moment he saw the old man's face, Xuan Kongzi's expression suddenly turned much uglier, and he spoke word by word: "The Second Heavenly Master of the Soul Palace, Gu You!"

As one of the three giants of Danta, Xuan Kongzi has been hostile and fighting with the Soul Palace for many years. Naturally, he is no stranger to the nine great celestial masters of the Soul Palace. But unfortunately, the opponents who were once evenly matched with him are now far stronger than himself.

In terms of foundation, Danta is far inferior to the Soul Clan after all. The hurdle of becoming a semi-saint has been stuck for Xuankongzi for too many years.

"Ahem, is this guy the target this time?"

With a light cough, Gu You looked at Lin Yuan with his green eyes, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "I am old, and I don't want to go too far! Boy, the Mang Tian ruler can't protect you, so be sensible and follow me obediently..."

As he spoke, he blinked a few times in a very regular pattern, sending out the secret code agreed upon by Lin Yuan and the higher-ups of the Soul Palace.

"Knowing my identity...spy plan...Great Lord..."

After reading the message from the other party, Lin Yuan knew that he had secured the victory this time, so he cooperated and started to sing a duet: "Would you like to visit the Soul Palace? Sorry, I'm not interested in this."

After responding to the secret code, he immediately sent a message to Qinglin through the Sky Network: Qing'er, activate Space Jade Slip No. 3.

After receiving the message, Gu Youwei nodded invisibly and sneered, "Don't you want to be a guest in my Soul Palace? That's not up to you. Hehe, since I've come here, I can't return empty-handed."

No one could have imagined that these two people were acting when they were competing against each other.

On the other side, Hun Yun looked at Mang Tianchi with a smug look on his face and sneered, "Mang Tianchi, what do you think now? Do you still think you can protect that kid?"

Hearing this, Mang Tianchi did not reply, but his expression became a little more solemn - although he has always been confident, he has to be cautious when facing two half-saints at the same time, especially half-saints of the Soul Clan who are known for their weirdness and strength.

"Haha, if the Mang Tian Ruler can't protect you, then what if I add one more person?"

When the situation was about to break out, a golden light streaked across the sky and landed accurately beside Mang Tianchi, followed by a voice that sounded a little bit happy.

The next moment, the light dissipated, revealing a surprisingly familiar figure.

“Tongxuan, you are here to join in the fun too?” Looking at the newcomer, Hunyun’s face darkened slightly, and he said sternly: “This incident has nothing to do with your ancient clan. I advise you to leave quickly! Otherwise, if a war between the two clans is triggered, you won’t be able to bear the consequences…”

"Haha, let's fight. Does my Ancient Clan really fear your Soul Clan?" Elder Tongxuan smiled calmly and said without giving in.

"Young friend Lin Yuan is extremely talented and is the rising star of Douqi Continent. Wouldn't it be a pity if he were to be annihilated by a bunch of you who are neither human nor ghost?"

Having said that, he turned his head and nodded to Lin Yuan in a friendly manner.

Medicine Lord Lin Yuan, although Xun'er's relationship with this person is a little confusing, this person's talent and identity are extremely valuable. He is also at odds with the Soul Clan of the Soul Palace. From a standpoint, he is naturally a friend of the ancient clan, so we must win him over if we have the chance.

Therefore, after receiving Xun'er's request, Elder Tongxuan agreed without any hesitation and came here specially to protect Lin Yuan.

"Elder Tongxuan, thank you for the compliment!" Lin Yuan bowed and said humbly.

"Old man Tongxuan, I owe you a favor this time." Mang Tianchi patted Elder Tongxuan on the shoulder and said with a smile.

“Haha, it’s just a small matter!” Elder Tongxuan waved his hand, looked at Lin Yuan meaningfully, and said, “I came here mainly because someone asked me to come. If you want to thank someone, thank the person who asked me to come…”

"Don't worry, senior. I know what's going on with this matter." Lin Yuan said softly.

"That's good!" Elder Tongxuan nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.

Seeing this, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the Second Heavenly Venerable, which made his face even uglier: "Tongxuan, it seems that you are unwilling to give in today?"

Elder Tongxuan glanced at him and said slowly, "Nonsense, why bother asking again?"

The atmosphere was extremely tense at this moment. The sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force. The cracks in space spread like a spider web, revealing a terrifying atmosphere that a war was about to break out.

"Guyou, Hunyun, it's too late to do anything. Let's retreat today!"

As the war was about to begin, a sigh suddenly sounded in the void.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old figure who was skinny and looked like a skeleton. He had appeared behind Gu You and Hun Yun at some point. An eerie and vast aura surged out with the force to overwhelm the heavens and the earth!

His aura far surpassed that of the four semi-saints present, causing the hearts of the people in Jilei City to waver - this was a true Dou Sheng.

"Brother!" "Lord Tianzun!"

Gu You and Hun Yun quickly turned around and bowed to the Great Heavenly Venerable, their voices filled with awe.

The Great Celestial Venerable waved his hand casually, glanced at Lin Yuan, and then looked into the void not far away: "I have already shown myself, Old Monster Lin, you should stop hiding. We haven't seen each other for decades, why don't you come out and meet your 'old friend'?"

Everyone followed the gaze of the Great Celestial Venerable and saw that the space suddenly twisted slightly where his eyes fell. The figure of an old man in hemp clothes appeared in everyone's sight without any warning.

The tyrannical aura that was in no way inferior to that of the Great Celestial Venerable caused everyone's hearts to waver again - another true Fighting Saint.

This person is one of the only two true Douluo Saints in Danta at present, the Great Elder of Little Danta... Elder Lin.

"If it's possible, I don't want to see you for the rest of my life."

The Great Elder of Xiaodanta glanced around and finally calmly looked at the Great Heavenly Venerable. There was a hint of chill in his voice, "Every time I see you guys, nothing good happens. This time is no exception!"

Hearing this, the Great Heavenly Venerable laughed strangely: "Hehe, don't say such a spoilsport, let me see how much your strength has increased!"

After saying this, he pressed his palms together, and a torrent of black energy burst out from his body. In an instant, it condensed on the palms of his hands, erupting with a ferocious pressure that made people look sideways.

"Soul-Destroying Palm!" The Great Celestial Venerable gave a low shout and transformed himself into a streak of black lightning, shooting towards the Great Elder of the Small Danta.

"I'm not afraid of you, Dan Yuan Palm!"

The Great Elder had no intention of backing down. His fighting spirit surged up and he clashed with the Great Lord in a solemn manner.
