Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

"Well... I'm not afraid to admit it, young friend, but I know absolutely nothing about the internal affairs of the Holy Spirit Cult."

Long Xiaoyao explained somewhat awkwardly.

"That shouldn't be the case. Aren't you a high priest of the Holy Spirit Cult? How could you not know about such an important matter?"

Kong Deming spoke with a hint of accusation.

This was a direct slap in the face to him. Not only had the soul-guiding array he used in the royal family been stolen by the evil soul master, but he was also being used against others.

He had implemented anti-counterfeiting measures to prevent others from uncovering the truth.

The magic array was set up nearly seventy or eighty years ago.

Apart from himself, almost everyone else had passed away, so the possibility that it was someone else in the ancestral hall who leaked the secret was ruled out.

It is only possible to crack this method if it is studied day and night by a senior level nine soul master.

In other words, there is at least one evil soul master at the level of a ninth-level soul master who freely enters and exits the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace day and night, and the key point is that he is completely unaware of it.

That can only mean that there was a problem with one of the royal family members inside the organization, who gave that evil spirit master a token that allowed him to enter the magic circle.

Kong Deming grew angrier the more he thought about it, and he was already considering confronting those evil spirit masters.

"Perhaps I know who did it."

"Who?"

Kong Deming was somewhat angry.

"She is an old friend of mine, the one I mentioned to you before. She... also has a high level of understanding of soul tools, and she herself is a Limit Douluo."

Long Xiaoyao did not choose to hide it. He did not want to leave a bad impression on Kong Deming and his group at this time. He and Ye Xishui combined were not even a match for Di Tianchui.

If you upset this group of people, you'll be the first to suffer.

It's all Zhongli Wu's fault for using someone else's things, only to be caught red-handed by the original owner.

"A level nine Soul Master at the Limit Douluo level?"

Even Di Tian couldn't help but take notice.

He didn't know how big the gap was between a level nine soul master and a level ten soul master, but the one Long Xiaoyao mentioned was undoubtedly the one with the greatest potential for development.

If it were combined with Kong Deming's level 10 soul tool, Di Tian secretly compared them in his mind.

Xu Yang seemed to have seen through Di Tian's thoughts.

"Senior Di Tian, ​​a level 10 Soul Master and a level 9 Soul Master are not the same thing."

"It's not that easy to break through. You are still the strongest person on the Douluo Continent in name only. Didn't you say back then that even if my grandfather managed to break through to the Limit Douluo level, defeating you would still be a problem?"

"However... the Holy Spirit Cult really knows how to keep things hidden..."

For the first time ever, Xu Yang offered Di Tian some advice.

"I never expected you guys to have this kind of fighting power."

Kong Deming was also filled with emotion.

"Since you are able to learn it, that is a skill in itself. Blame it on the fact that the royal family of my Sun Moon Empire is rotten to the core."

"What's that tower-like thing for?"

Di Ni'er's attention was always on those soul tools. After Zhong Liwu finished setting them up, he hid a small tower in a place that looked like the center of the formation and thoughtfully concealed it. If she hadn't seen Zhong Liwu put it in with her own eyes, it would probably have been hard for anyone to find out.

"That is...?"

Kong Deming was at a loss for words. Not only had this magic array been stolen, but it had also been redesigned and improved upon.

"An evil soul tool that can absorb blood and soul energy. The modified trapping array should be used in conjunction with this soul tool."

"As expected, your old friend really does have his own style."

"Grandpa, the Shrek Academy people have arrived, and it seems they've made an unexpected gain."

Xu Yang leaned close to Kong Deming's ear and whispered something.

……

"A big fish has taken the bait, and there seems to be an unexpected bonus."

Meanwhile, Feng Ling, the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, also spoke.

Adhering to the principle that more people mean more safety, the people of the Star Luo Empire specially invited the Shrek Academy group before their departure.

And so, the two groups came together, and the ten titled Douluo marched out of Heaven Dou City in a grand procession.

"Elder Mu, once we pass Jialing Pass, we'll be close to Shrek Academy. When we get there, Elder Zhuang can absorb the 100,000-year-old Emerald Swan Soul Bone, which will cure your chronic illness."

"Perhaps even the ancient golden tree can be brought back to life."

Old Lin thought with some satisfaction that although it cost her 130 million gold soul coins, the result was good. In their opinion, the soul skill provided by the Emerald Swan's torso bone had a great chance of curing Mu En's intractable disease.

Life Praise is a powerful healing-type soul skill that can heal a patient's injuries with pure life force without any side effects.

Moon still had his eyes downcast, looking drowsy.

As for the people from the Star Luo Empire, they all followed behind, as had been pre-arranged. Both sides knew that the journey would likely not be peaceful, and this arrangement also provided mutual support.

"Jialing Pass is just ahead. Once we pass through the pass, everyone can relax."

Yan Shaozhe, the temporary squad leader jointly elected by both sides, conveyed the message to the people behind him.

Xu Jiujiu was very satisfied with obtaining the 100,000-year-old Starlight Unicorn Skull. If it weren't for safety concerns, she would have wanted to absorb it directly within Heaven Dou City. Only after being persuaded by several elders did she abandon her previous idea and choose to go with Shrek Academy, then return to the palace, where she could perfectly absorb it under the protection of her ancestor and the Healing Immortal Douluo.

At the same time, she comforted the Immortal Doctor Douluo.

"Your Excellency, the only problem is that my brother brought only a limited amount of gold soul coins this time. Otherwise, we would have gotten that 100,000-year-old jade swan soul bone for you no matter what."

Wang Xian'er wore a kind smile.

"Hehe, I am already extremely fortunate to have seen this soul bone in my life. As for obtaining it, I would never dare to even think about it."

"Your Highness, I know your and His Majesty's intentions, but... some things are simply a matter of fate. If it is destined to be yours, it will be yours; if it is not, you cannot force it."

"Let nature take its course. At this point, it can only mean that I am not destined to have that soul bone."

"Can……"

Xu Jiujiu wanted to explain further, but Wang Xian'er interrupted him.

"Your Highness, please don't mention it anymore. I've lived for over a hundred years, and I have a better understanding of some things than you young people."

"Moreover, for some reason, I always have a bad feeling. The blood energy here is too strong. Even though Jialing Pass is a strategic location that military strategists have fought over, and there have been many large and small wars here over the past ten thousand years, this blood energy feels very fresh to me, and it doesn't seem to be left over from war."

"On the contrary, it's more like..."

Before Wang Xian'er could finish speaking...

Mu En, who had been in a daze, unusually called out to the group that was walking forward.

"Stop!"

Moon's tone was serious, carrying a commanding authority.

The Super Douluos present basically all knew Mu En's identity, because Yan Shaozhe had informed them beforehand. None of them expected that the Dragon God Douluo, who had shaken the continent a hundred years ago, was still alive. This was the most important reason why they chose to travel together, and they immediately became alert when Mu En reminded them.

Only Xu Jiujiu and the other younger generation didn't know why everyone listened to the seemingly drowsy old man.
