Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 483 The Three Surprised Women and Their 'Bizarre' Experiences
"Such terrifying power... It doesn't feel like something an ordinary soul beast or soul master could unleash."

Ning Rongrong's face turned a little pale, and she subconsciously moved closer to Hu Liena.

Hu Liena frowned. As a disciple of the Pope, she had a broader perspective and could sense a sacred, ancient, and sacrificial aura contained within the golden light, which gave her an ominous premonition.

She instinctively looked to her side, trying to find the person who made her feel safe and to discuss a plan.

However, this glance made her heart sink.

Where is Dai Chengfeng?

Hu Liena's voice carried a hint of panic that she herself was unaware of.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong immediately looked around.

It was only then that they were horrified to discover that Dai Chengfeng, who should have been by their side, had disappeared without a trace!
"Just now... he was definitely behind me!"

Ning Rongrong also got anxious and stamped her foot, saying, "How could they disappear in the blink of an eye?"

Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, her clear, cold eyes instantly turned sharp as knives, and her aura suddenly turned icy. She quickly scanned the chaotic crowd around her, trying to find that familiar figure, but to no avail.

Recalling the earth-shattering phenomenon just now, and Dai Chengfeng's sudden disappearance, a terrifying thought uncontrollably surged into the minds of the three women at the same time...

Could Dai Chengfeng's mysterious disappearance be related to the terrifying strange phenomenon outside the town?

Could he have encountered some danger?
"Oh no!" Hu Liena exclaimed immediately, "We must go out of the city to search! He might have gone in that direction!"

The three women no longer cared about shopping, nor did they have time to think about why Dai Chengfeng had left alone; their hearts were filled with worry and anxiety.

They immediately used their movement skills to go against the flow of curious people outside the city and rushed towards the city gate as fast as they could.

Ning Rongrong had even prepared the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, ready to provide assistance at any time.

When they rushed out of Qingmu Town in a great hurry, relying on the faint sense of residual energy, they tracked down to the clearing in the forest where Dai Chengfeng was. What they saw made them freeze on the spot.

Under the moonlight, Dai Chengfeng stood there unharmed, seemingly looking down at his palm, a gentle, relieved smile on his lips.

The soul power emanating from his body had clearly reached the bottleneck of level sixty!

Furthermore, they vaguely sensed that Dai Chengfeng's temperament seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, becoming more profound and carrying an indescribable sense of majesty.

"Dai Chengfeng!" *3
Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena, and Ning Rongrong all shouted out almost simultaneously.

Her voice was filled with surprise and lingering fear as she rushed over.

At this moment, Dai Chengfeng had already taken Qiu'er back into his body.

Hearing the call, he pretended to be surprised and looked up, but when he saw the undisguised worry on the faces of the three women, his heart warmed slightly, and he also felt a little apologetic.

He strode towards them.

"Why are you here?" Dai Chengfeng tried to keep his tone calm.

"You still said that!"

Hu Liena rushed over, her beautiful eyes quickly scanning him to make sure he wasn't injured before she breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with a hint of reproach:
What was that loud noise just now?

"You suddenly disappeared. Do you know how worried we were? Did you plan to act alone all along?"

Ning Rongrong chimed in, puffing out her cheeks, "Exactly! You scared us to death! We thought you'd been captured by some powerful soul beast!"

Although Zhu Zhuqing did not speak, her clear eyes were fixed on Dai Chengfeng, waiting for his explanation.

Looking at the three pretty faces filled with concern and questions, Dai Chengfeng knew that the strange phenomenon and his sudden departure needed a reasonable explanation. He had already prepared his words, sighed, and a look of "helplessness" and "fortunateness" appeared on his face:

"Sorry for making you worry."

"It happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to inform you."

He pointed to the lingering, still-present, strange energy fluctuations around him, and the faint, complex traces of a sacrificial array on the ground, and began to explain, half-truthfully and half-jokingly:

"I didn't leave on purpose."

"But halfway there, I suddenly sensed an unusually familiar yet powerful spatial fluctuation, which seemed to be related to a strange object that I had obtained by chance before."

"That strange object seems to have triggered some ancient tradition or sealed place, causing it to appear here."

“I was worried about missing the opportunity and also afraid of affecting you, so I came alone to investigate.”

"I never expected that this place would be the entrance to a tiny, ancient secret realm. The strange phenomenon we just witnessed was caused by the secret realm opening and then quickly closing."

"I was lucky enough to get in, went through a series of trials, and obtained some inheritance and my fifth soul ring. As a result, my soul power was raised to level sixty."

Dai Chengfeng demonstrated his level 60 soul power fluctuations and his magnificent rose gold fifth soul ring.

"The secret realm has disappeared, and I just came out. I was about to go back to find you, but I didn't expect you to find me first."

While this explanation is somewhat bizarre, it's not uncommon for serendipitous encounters and secret realms to exist in the Douluo Continent. Furthermore, Dai Chengfeng's soul power did indeed surge, and he obtained a seemingly unique soul ring, so it's somewhat plausible.

Most importantly, he is safe and sound.

Hu Liena was skeptical; she always felt that things weren't so simple, and the sense of sacrifice within the golden light left a deep impression on her.

But Dai Chengfeng was unwilling to elaborate, and she didn't press him for details; as long as he was alright, that was all that mattered.

She rolled her eyes at Dai Chengfeng: "If you dare to disappear like this again, see how we deal with you!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, filled with curiosity about the 'secret realm adventure' Dai Chengfeng had mentioned:

"An ancient secret realm? That sounds amazing! Dai Chengfeng, your luck is incredible!"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flickered for a moment, but she didn't ask any further questions. She simply said:
"It's okay."

Dai Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had temporarily gotten away with it.

He smiled and changed the subject, saying, "It's all over, nothing serious."

"It's alright now, let's go back. We still have to travel tomorrow."

Seeing Dai Chengfeng's relaxed appearance, the three women, though each with their own thoughts, were ultimately relieved.

Under the moonlight, the group began their return to Aoki Town.

Dai Chengfeng walked in the middle, feeling the surging power within him.

The fifth spirit ring, the Skull of Destiny, the leap in spirit power, and especially the awakening of the second martial spirit "Three-Eyed Golden Lion," all enabled Qiu'er to stay by his side in this incredible way...

"This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest has not yet reached the Star Dou Great Forest."

“My strength and foundation have undergone earth-shattering changes.”

"Then, which one should we choose for our sixth spirit ring?"
