Douluo Continent: Five Thunders Shake the Drums, I am the Thunder Emperor!

Chapter 67 An unexpected encounter with Hu Liena and her two companions, and a mysterious little drum? (Please continue reading)
"Boss, we're here!"

Sikong Zhen, who was meditating cross-legged inside the carriage, slowly opened his eyes upon hearing Yu Feng's voice, and the lightning in his eyes disappeared.

"Wuhun City, the holy land in the hearts of soul masters on the continent, has finally arrived."

Sikong Zhen stood up and stepped down from the carriage.

The first thing you see is Yu Feng's smiling face, and looking up, you see the tall and majestic Martial Soul City.

Unlike ordinary cities, Wuhun City is hexagonal in shape, with six walls and huge reliefs that symbolize six powerful martial spirits.

Each city wall is patrolled by Soul Masters dressed in the special uniforms of the Spirit Hall.

The city was built around a hill.

There are two iconic buildings on the hill: the Papal Palace with its golden dome and the white, jade-like Sanctuary.

The Papal Palace is located halfway up the mountain, while the Hall of Worship is located at the top of the mountain.

"What a magnificent Martial Soul City! Its grandeur surpasses even that of Heaven Dou City and Star Luo City!" Sikong Zhen commented aptly.

Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and others.

The members of the other teams, standing in front of Wuhun City, couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions.

As the most powerful soul master organization on the continent, the Spirit Hall's foundation and strength actually far surpass those of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

And today,
As participants from the Heaven Dou Empire, they are about to step into this sacred place in the hearts of Soul Masters.

Prince Xue Qinghe, or rather, Qian Renxue in disguise.

At this moment, she also lifted the curtain and looked at the Spirit Hall in front of her, a strange emotion rising in her heart.

"After more than a decade apart, I've finally returned, but unfortunately, the plans must continue."

A glint of light shimmered in Qian Renxue's eyes.

but,

Now that she has returned to Wuhun City, even if the plan continues, she can reunite with her grandfather Qian Daoliu and several other honored grandfathers.

Wuhun City is her home ground.

Here, Qian Renxue has nothing to worry about; the seven elders, including Qian Daoliu, are her strongest support.

As for Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo, neither of them felt anything.

This wasn't their first time visiting the Spirit Hall.

Every titled Douluo comes to the Douluo Hall in Wuhun City for the title conferment ceremony.

Sikong Mingde will be no exception, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.

Moreover, this title conferment ceremony is just a formality.

Are you coming or not?
It doesn't really matter.

Sikong Mingde had already decided on his title; once he announced it, the world would accept it.

……

"Boss, let's go in! This is my first time in Wuhun City!" Yu Feng said excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Okay, let's go in then."

Sikong Zhen nodded and led the members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team forward.

Yu Yuanzhen and Sikong Zhen traveled together.

As for Dugu Bo, he stayed by his granddaughter Dugu Yan's side the whole time.

With Xue Qinghe in front and a group of Heavenly Dou Royal Knights guarding them.

The guards at the city gate saw them but didn't even check them; they let them pass directly.

After entering Wuhun City.

Under the guidance of a designated person, Sikong Zhen and the others arrived at the residence that the Spirit Hall had prepared specifically for the Heaven Dou Royal Team.

The accommodation was a luxurious hotel located in the heart of the inner city of Wuhun City.

The hotel's exterior is resplendent in gold, with two enormous stone sculptures standing in front of the entrance, depicting two golden phoenixes with outstretched wings, ready to take flight.

The hotel's interior decoration is incredibly luxurious.
The crystal chandelier cast a soft glow, and exquisite murals hung on the walls.

As Sikong Zhen and his entourage entered the hotel, waiters immediately came forward to greet them and respectfully led them to their respective rooms.

The room was spacious and bright, fully equipped, and soundproof.

"Everyone, take a break and get into shape for the upcoming finals." Sikong Zhen sat on the sofa, his gaze sweeping over everyone, his tone steady and powerful.

Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the others nodded and returned to their rooms to rest.

After making arrangements for everyone, Sikong Zhen left the hotel alone. He wanted to learn about the situation in Wuhun City, since it was the headquarters of the Wuhun Hall, which was already considered his enemy.

……

Wuhun City is divided into inner and outer cities.

The outer city was where ordinary residents gathered.

The inner city is the core area of ​​the Spirit Hall, and under normal circumstances, only Spirit Masters and members of the Spirit Hall can enter.

Sikong Zhen strolled along the streets of the inner city, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding buildings and pedestrians.

As he walked, Sikong Zhen came to a bustling market.

The market was filled with all kinds of stalls, selling a wide variety of goods, from small items to rare medicinal herbs.

Sikong Zhen stopped in front of a small stall, which was filled with all sorts of antique items.

His gaze was drawn to a simple, old-fashioned drum.

The small drum is dark red all over, with ancient runes engraved on its surface, giving it a mysterious aura.

"This is."

Sikong Zhen's pupils contracted.

He reached out and picked up the small drum, and immediately felt a slight fluctuation in the Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul, as if the two were connected in some way.

"Boss, how much is this little drum?" Sikong Zhen asked, looking up.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man. When Sikong Zhen asked about the price, he immediately put on a smiling face.

"Young master has a good eye. This little drum was obtained from an ancient ruin, and it is said to be related to an ancient artifact."

"If you really like it, take it for five hundred gold soul coins."

This person immediately asked for 500 gold soul coins and even brought up ancient artifacts. It was clearly nonsense and an outrageous demand.

To know.

One gold soul coin is enough to cover the normal expenses of an average family of three for several months.

Not to mention five hundred gold soul coins.

But Sikong Zhen was too lazy to haggle; he just wanted to get the small drum as soon as possible and figure out its relationship with the Five Thunder Drum.

then,

Sikong Zhen nodded and prepared to pay.

Just then, he heard a soft, charming voice from behind him: "Boss, I'll take this little drum."

Sikong Zhen turned around to look.

He saw a short blonde girl standing behind him, with stunningly beautiful features and a touch of allure in her eyes.

This person,

It was Hu Liena from the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.

Two young men stood beside her; one was tall and had a cold face, while the other exuded a fiery aura.

They are Xie Yue and Yan!

Sikong Zhen had seen the portraits of the three men and recognized them at a glance.

Hu Liena's gaze fell on the small drum in Sikong Zhen's hand, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

Seeing that Hu Liena was interested in the small drum, Yan immediately stepped forward, reached out to snatch the drum from Sikong Zhen's hand, and shouted:
"Nana, you want this little drum? I'll buy it for you. Kid, let go of it now!"

Hearing this,

Sikong Zhen narrowed his eyes and released a burst of soul power, shaking Yan's hand away.

Yan felt a powerful force coming from Sikong Zhen's hand, which made his arm go numb, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

Yan's face darkened instantly after embarrassing himself in front of Hu Liena.

"Boy, you..."

Just as Yan was about to lash out, he felt a terrifying pressure.

"roll."

Sikong Zhen's voice was indifferent.

He didn't even glance at Yan; his gaze returned to the simple, ancient drum.
