Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

The temple keeper did not answer Huowu's question, but only said that what she thought in her heart was the answer.

After leaving the City God Temple, the group felt as if they had been transported to another world.

They never expected that just by spending such a short time in the City God Temple, they would successfully obtain a ten-thousand-year soul ring that was extremely suitable for them.

This is much easier than hunting soul beasts in the Soul Beast Forest.

"Brother, when you were obtaining spirit rings with your eyes closed, did you encounter anyone?"

Huo Wushuang shook his head.

"I was about to ask you the same thing. How did you end up meeting some red-haired old man? Weren't we both inside the City God Temple?"

"I encountered it."

As soon as Huo Wushuang finished speaking, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er raised their hands at the same time.

"However, I didn't meet a red-haired old man, but a white-haired old lady who looked very kind."

"Huh? I'm different from you. I met a middle-aged man."

Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er saw different people.

Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian were completely bewildered. It seemed that they were the only two who hadn't encountered anyone and had directly absorbed the soul ring.

The three women huddled together and started chatting away.

"Do you know who you've encountered?" Huo Wu asked.

Shui Bing'er hesitated and said, "Although I have never met that old lady, I feel a sense of familiarity with her, as if she were one of my elders."

Unlike Shui Bing'er's hesitation, Shui Yue'er was quite certain.

"The middle-aged man I met was our cousin."

"What?" Shui Bing'er was very surprised. "Which cousin?"

"It's Uncle Shui Mengyan. Although he has been gone for almost ten years, I still remember what he looked like. I even chatted with him for a few minutes when I was getting my soul ring."

After exchanging words, the three women confirmed that the person they had met was an elder from their respective families.

Obtaining a soul ring from the underworld through the City God Temple increases the probability of obtaining a soul ring from a deceased elder relative.

However, it's not absolute; it also depends on the compatibility of the spirit rings.

Furthermore, since the Six Paths of Reincarnation has not yet been established, they can see the spirits of their elders. Once the Six Paths of Reincarnation are fully established, this phenomenon will decrease or even disappear.

Therefore, ordinary Soul Masters don't need to worry about not being able to obtain Soul Rings.

Not to mention that many poor soul masters had wealthy ancestors, and the choice of soul rings is not controlled by the dead souls. In addition, the number of dead souls is always greater than that of soul masters in the mortal world, so soul rings are still plentiful.

"Xiaotian, since there are magical places like the City God Temple where you can obtain soul rings, why do so few people seem to know about it?"

In fact, if Feng Xiaotian hadn't led the way, Huo Wushuang and the others would have had no way of knowing.

"Is that even a question? Just look at the murals and sculptures in the City God Temple, and you'll know that the City God Temple and the Spirit Hall have a close relationship. The Spirit Halls in various places have disappeared, but suddenly the City God Temple has appeared. Given the current situation, if I had no other choice, I wouldn't dare to deal with the City God Temple."

"I see."

After returning to the three academies' residences, the group did not hide the news of obtaining their fifth spirit ring from the deans of each academy.

"It seems we need to make a decision."

After learning of this matter, the three deans discussed it behind closed doors for a long time and made a decision.

They originally planned to stay out of it, remain far away, and sit back and watch the two empires and the Spirit Hall fight, completely remaining bystanders.

"It seems that the disappearance of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts is related to the Spirit Hall, or the gods behind the Spirit Hall. By controlling all the ten-thousand-year-old soul rings, the Spirit Hall is equivalent to controlling the lifeline of all soul masters."

"The Dean of Blazing Fire Academy sighed."

No Soul Master who reaches level 50 would not want a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Previously, due to various restrictions, not everyone who reached level 50 could hunt ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Now that ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have disappeared, the cost of obtaining ten-thousand-year-old soul rings has actually decreased. The hearts and minds of soul masters will soon be settled.

The deans of the three academies are not fools. Those people and forces who stand against the Spirit Hall will probably find it difficult to obtain ten-thousand-year spirit rings in the future.

Although they were bystanders, Feng Xiaotian and the others had already obtained their spirit rings, so they shouldn't have been targeted afterward.

But one can never be too careful. If the Spirit Hall were to seek revenge later, their academy and family would be finished.

"There's no time to hesitate. We have to choose a side now, and we can only stand with the Spirit Hall."

Having finally managed to hide in this remote area, the three academies have begun another strategic relocation. This time, their target is the very heart of the Douluo Continent's turbulent events—the Spirit Hall.

……

"Sect Master, the people from the Spirit Hall really ran away quickly. They went to several Spirit Hall branches, but almost all of them have already left."

After leaving Heaven Dou City, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan has been busy on the road to annihilating the branch of the Spirit Hall.

Similar to the Star Luo Empire, they also failed to destroy the Spirit Hall's fighting force.

However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan also reaped considerable rewards.

Similar to the sects of the Star Luo Empire, they also chose to bully the weak and fear the strong, taking action against some weak families and making a fortune in a short time.

"Hmph, the Spirit Hall's defeat is inevitable. With the help of the God Realm, destroying the Spirit Hall will be a piece of cake."

Yu Yuanzhen regained the face he had lost at Xueqing River by traveling to various towns and cities.

"We've arrived in Huifeng City. As usual, we..."

As Yu Yuanzhen saw that he was not far from Huifeng City, he was about to instruct his disciples on the next steps when suddenly, a strong sense of crisis made his scalp tingle.

"who?"

Yu Yuanzhen shouted and unleashed a bolt of lightning into the mountains and forests.

"Ah~"

Screams rang out, but they didn't come from the mountains and forests; instead, they came from the disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect led by Yu Yuanzhen.

"Yu Yuanzhen, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

Dozens of figures emerged from the dense forest, blocking Yu Yuanzhen and his group.

Yu Yuanzhen's side had several hundred people, but the appearance of these dozens of figures made it seem as if they had surrounded the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.

"Ghostly figures, Yue Guan? Are you from the Spirit Hall?"

Yu Yuanzhen was shocked. They had no idea how the people from the Spirit Hall had managed to infiltrate the depths of the Heaven Dou Empire so silently.

The people monitoring and paying attention to Martial Soul City are not only the two great empires and major sects, but even the God Realm is watching Martial Soul City.

If a strong person leaves, it will definitely be discovered immediately.

The Spirit Hall didn't send many people, but they were all elites; there wasn't even one below the Soul Emperor level.

Moreover, the leader of the team was not Ghost and Moon, the two elders of the Spirit Hall, but Golden Crocodile Douluo, the second elder of the Hall of Worship.

With the level 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo personally taking action, he had no intention of giving Yu Yuanzhen a chance to escape.

However, the people of the Hall of Offerings rarely showed themselves, and Yu Yuanzhen did not recognize Golden Crocodile Douluo. But from the attitudes of Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo towards Golden Crocodile Douluo, he could guess that this person's status and strength were definitely above those two.

Yu Yuanzhen was extremely anxious.

If it were just Chrysanthemum Douluo or Ghost Douluo, he would definitely not be afraid at all.

He received the inheritance of the God of Thunder, and his soul power has reached level 96, not far from level 97.

He was absolutely confident in dealing with either the ghost or the Moon Gate. (End of Chapter)
