Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 428 I'm sorry, I'm no longer a member of the Spirit Hall!
The titled Douluo fired the first shot of the escape, and the remaining Soul Douluos, Soul Saints, and other Soul Masters immediately lost all will to fight and turned tail to run, determined to save their lives.

"Trying to run? Not so easy! Chase after me!"

Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo immediately led his Soul Master Legion in pursuit.

Chen Xin didn't chase after them; what he wanted was a duel between experts, not the slaughter of a bunch of novice soul masters.

The group of Title Douluos had been running for a while, and with the cover of night, he couldn't possibly catch up with those Title Douluos whose soul power exceeded level 95.

"A perfectly good situation, and then this damned bastard showed up halfway through, he deserves to die!"

Unable to finish the fight to his heart's content, Chen Xin was unusually furious. His sword energy raged, and he wielded the Seven Kill Sword, carving a deep trench in the ground with a single strike.

"It was quite sudden indeed."

Gu Rong didn't chase after them. He felt that something was off about what had just happened, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

……

dark night.

The group of titled Douluo fled at top speed, heading straight for Dragon Saliva Pass.

However, the three elders of the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship were not among these people.

"Gentlemen, you were easy to find."

Upon hearing this voice, the three worshippers who were traveling at full speed stopped abruptly and turned to look at the two people who had appeared behind them.

"Thank you very much this time."

Of the three honorees, the fourth honoree spoke first.

Although Yueguan Guimei is Bibi Dong's person, one thing is one thing. If it weren't for their help this time, they would probably have really died at the border fortress.

After speaking, the Fourth Elder looked at the spatial blade in Yue Guan's hand and asked:
"The Space Blade is now in your hands. It seems that Luo Minghua, that brat, has really sided with Bibi Dong."

"Where is he? Why doesn't he dare to come out and see me!"

According to the Four Elders, since the missing Moon Pass Ghost is still alive, then Luo Minghua, who disappeared with these two, must also be alive.

“Him?” Yue Guan said meaningfully, fiddling with the spatial blade.

"As you said, he felt ashamed and had no face to come out and see you."

"Also, wasn't the plan to retreat to Longyan Pass? But this doesn't seem to be the way to Longyan Pass, does it?"

Because of their life-saving act tonight, the three elders trusted them more readily, and the most straightforward of them, the Sixth Elder, answered the question without any doubt.

"With the enemy's strength so great now, what good is retreating to Longyan Pass? It will fall sooner or later."

"So, instead of going to Longyan Pass, we found another place."

Then, the Sixth Master told them about the place.

“This place is remote and secluded, a good place for seclusion. Third Brother has gone ahead of us, and he has probably already traveled halfway.”

The Fourth and Fifth Elders were displeased that the Sixth Elder had revealed the Third Elder's secluded cultivation location, but they said nothing. After all, Yue Guan Gui Mei was a veteran of the Spirit Hall, and they had been on the same side when their eldest brother's son, Pope Qian Xun Ji, was still in power.

However, back then, the Spirit Hall was ruled by the Qian family, who were in charge of both the worshippers and the Pope. The worshipper faction and the Pope faction were originally one, unlike now, where the Spirit Hall has split into two factions because of Bibi Dong.

Therefore, from the perspective of the Spirit Hall alone, Yue Guan Gui Mei is trustworthy.

"Seclusion? The three elders are already at level 97. Even if they break through to level 98, they don't need to specifically find a remote and secluded place for seclusion, do they?"

"Could it be that during our absence, the Three Elders received some divine succession?"

The fact that Yu Xiaogang 'voluntarily' relinquished his position as the God of Greed was no secret among the high-ranking officials of the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire. Therefore, the three elders were not afraid that Yue Guan Guimei would find out, and answered affirmatively:

“That’s right. Yu Xiaogang voluntarily gave up the inheritance of the God of Greed to avoid punishment because he made a big mistake. Among us, only Third Brother was recognized by the God of Greed.”

The three elders spoke with a hint of smugness on their old faces, as if it were they, not the third brother, who had received the divine inheritance.

"Thanks for clearing up the confusion."

A voice came from all directions, and the void in front of Yue Guan and Gui Mei changed. Lin Rong clapped his hands and walked out.

A god-like aura emanated from him, pressing down on the three honored guests of the Spirit Hall. The vast difference between gods and mortals made this aura an enhanced version of a static bipolar domain, immobilizing them.

"Look at you all, is it really necessary to be so surprised?"

Lin Rong smiled slightly, observing the utterly astonished expressions on the faces of the three retainers before they were immobilized, and said:
"I know that I was the one who first proposed the war agreement, and I also signed it. According to the agreement, god-level combat forces are not allowed to interfere."

"But which of your eyes saw me intervene? Did I lay a hand on anyone?"

The three elders of the Spirit Hall were unable to speak, so Yue Guan stepped forward, first returning the Spatial Blade to Lin Rong with both hands, and then echoing:
"Your Majesty, you are not being kind. Of course you did not interfere. You merely released your aura. They were just blind to walk in."

After speaking, Yue Guan looked at the three frozen elders, coughed twice, and said:
"Don't misunderstand, Lao Gui and I are not traitors."

"Several years ago, when His Majesty was ten years old, Old Ghost and I had already submitted. The reason we did not leave the Spirit Hall was simply to infiltrate."

"Three elders, I'm sorry you trusted us so much, but unfortunately, I'm no longer a member of the Spirit Hall!"

After Yue Guan finished speaking, at Lin Rong's signal, the ghost beside him transformed into a gust of yin wind, enveloping the three worshippers.

Without a martial spirit or soul skills, even the strongest soul master is just a mortal. The three elders, unable to move, were soon transformed into three skeletons by the erosion of the yin wind. Seven soul bones radiating light detached from the bones and were carried by the yin wind, appearing before Lin Rong's eyes.

"Your Majesty, we hope that these seven ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul bones will catch your eye."

"They're quite ordinary; the oldest is only 40,000 years old," Lin Rong commented calmly on the seven soul bones.

"But even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat, and it's good to enrich your collection."

After Lin Rong put away the seven soul bones, he threw two more soul bones from his soul tool and sent them to Yue Guan Gui Mei.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After thanking the ghostly figure, Yue Guan turned his gaze to the soul bone in front of him. He was immediately delighted. There was no place to absorb the soul bone, which was inevitable. Moreover, the soul bone was quite old and its attributes were very compatible with them.

They obtained another soul bone. Once upon a time, they didn't even dare to dream of having a complete set of soul bones, but now they were almost there.
