Douro Continent

Chapter 513 Soul Hunting, Massacre of the Clan

Xiao Yi's body slipped from the hands of a man dressed in black. The man in black was clearly at a loss. At this moment, countless men in black surged forward like a tide behind him.

"What happened?" an old voice asked angrily. "What was that flame just now?"

"Elder, it might be a signal. We should..."

"If we don't act now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will only become more prepared. You idiot, do you know that this will greatly increase our losses? Launch a full-scale attack."

With a command from that aged voice, countless dark figures surged forth like a tidal wave, heading straight for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's castle. At this moment, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's castle, having received the alarm signal, was already bathed in light.

……

Early in the morning, Tang San bid farewell to Grandmaster, Flander, and his companions, and set off alone.

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong decided to stay for two more days, since it was a rare opportunity for them to reunite. They didn't try to stop Tang San; they understood his eagerness to see Xiao Wu.

After leaving Heaven Dou City, Tang San quickly determined his direction and sped towards the Star Dou Great Forest. In his heart, nothing was more important than seeing Xiao Wu. Five years have passed, Xiao Wu, are you alright? You must be safe!

Shrek Academy.

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong were gathered around the master, each detailing their acquired soul skills and cultivation progress. Theoretically, the master's guidance was extremely important to them. Soul masters at different stages have different cultivation paths. Therefore, with the master's guidance, they could avoid many detours on their future cultivation journey.

After listening to the four people's stories, the master was just about to begin giving them theoretical instruction when there was a rapid knocking on the door.

"Master, something has happened."

The door opened, and rushed in was Shao Xin, a Soul Master named Tangdou, who was considered a veteran of Shrek Academy. He was currently the head of the Food Department's Soul Master Teaching Division.

"Teacher Shao, what happened?" The master looked at him with some surprise. In his memory, Teacher Shao had always been very calm and composed. Something serious must have happened to make him so flustered.

Shao Xin glanced at Ning Rongrong beside him, "Let's go to the Dean's office together. Sect Leader Ning is here."

"Oh?" The master was startled. Ning Rongrong, standing beside him, was even more puzzled. Why had her father suddenly come to the academy? Was it because of her?

Soon, everyone followed Shao Xin to Flanders' dean's office.

When Ning Rongrong saw her father, she was greatly surprised.

Indeed, Ning Fengzhi had arrived, accompanied by Bone Douluo Gu Rong. However, these two peak experts from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School looked rather disheveled.

Ning Fengzhi's face was pale, and he was even sweating profusely. His clothes were somewhat disheveled. This was something that would never happen to someone who always paid attention to his appearance.

Gu Rong looked even more disheveled, his face was also pale, his right arm hung limply at his side, and he coughed occasionally.

"Dad, Grandpa Gu, what's wrong? What happened?" Ning Rongrong rushed to her father's side, nervously holding his hands. When she realized that her father seemed to have only exhausted his soul power and had not been seriously injured, she felt a little relieved.

Ning Fengzhi's face was extremely pale. The words he uttered were even more shocking.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is destroyed." These seven simple words left the people who entered later stunned and speechless.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is destroyed? That was one of the most powerful sects in the world! Grandmaster, who also hails from one of the seven great sects, knows the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School best. For one thing, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School possessed two Title Douluos, both extremely powerful among them. Whether it was the Bone Douluo before them or the Sword Douluo, known as the strongest attacker, both were incredibly formidable. Moreover, there was their sect leader, Ning Fengzhi. With his amplification, the strength of their two Title Douluos almost doubled; although there were only two, they were enough to be used as four.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's accumulated power structure over the years is even more vast. Leaving aside their relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire, the number of non-family Soul Masters affiliated with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School alone exceeds three thousand. Add to that the hundreds of direct descendants possessing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, as well as the Soul Masters they themselves have trained, bringing the total number to a staggering five thousand.

In the world of Soul Masters, this is an absolutely terrifying force. In terms of numbers, the other six major sects are far from being able to match it.

If anyone else had said those words, the masters would have just scoffed, but since they came from Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he was clearly not joking.

Flander handed over a cup of hot tea. "Sect Leader Ning, please catch your breath. What exactly happened?"

As soon as Ning Fengzhi arrived, he sensed something was wrong and immediately told Shao Xin to fetch the Grandmaster and Ning Rongrong. Only then did he have time to inquire. Currently, both Shrek Academy and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can be considered part of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, although Shrek Academy's status is far inferior to that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. However, being on the same side, Flander was naturally extremely concerned about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's situation.

Ning Fengzhi suppressed his anger, took a few deep breaths, and then said, "Last night, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was attacked. The timing was perfect. It was when 40% of the sect's disciples were out on business, leaving the sect vulnerable. Fortunately, the attack was spotted by patrolling disciples before they could strike, giving us a short time to prepare. The battle lasted for two full hours. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School suffered heavy losses. More than two-thirds of the disciples perished. Moreover, the casualty count is still rising, and more and more bad news is coming from the disciples who went out."

Hearing her father's words, Ning Rongrong was already in a state of panic. "Dad, how could this be? Which force has such power? It couldn't be any other sect!"

The master said in a deep voice, "Did they make the move?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded sadly: "In the entire continent, who else besides them could possess such a vast power? This time, they were determined to win. I never expected the Spirit Hall to be so ruthless."

"After a night of fierce fighting, we barely managed to repel them. We have to thank Tang San for the hidden weapons he provided. Some of the direct disciples of our sect survived thanks to these weapons, but the outer disciples suffered heavy losses. In particular, some outer disciples suddenly turned against us, which led to the fall of the castle. I'm going to see His Majesty immediately. I've come specifically to remind Grandmaster. Since they've attacked our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will likely also…"

Upon hearing this, the master was startled, his entire body trembling like a cat encountering danger, his fur standing on end. "This is bad."

Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice, "Quickly inform your sect. Perhaps it's not too late. This time, they've mobilized not only their own Soul Masters, but also people from the four lower sects. Last night, four Title Douluos attacked. Otherwise, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses. It was Uncle Jian who risked serious injury to severely wound three opponents, forcing them to retreat. But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is definitely doomed. If I'm not mistaken, they'll be back soon. Since they've made their move, they won't give us a chance to recover. Therefore, I've decided to relocate the sect to Heaven Dou City and seek refuge with the Empire. Only in this way can we survive for the time being."

At this point, he slowly stood up. "Dean Flander, Master, we must go now. Rongrong, you can stay at the academy for now. It's safe here. I'll come back for you once things are settled."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes were slightly red. "Two thousand sect disciples! Two thousand sect disciples turned into corpses. Spirit Hall, I will never let you go."

Ning Rongrong was stunned. At this moment, she understood that although her father might not be able to determine who was responsible last night, who else besides the Spirit Hall could have the power to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in one night? If it hadn't been discovered in time, there probably wouldn't be a single survivor in the sect.

Watching Ning Fengzhi walk out of Flander's office in a solitary manner, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely heavy.

In the current world of Soul Masters, four of the seven major sects are located in the Heaven Dou Empire: the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—the three upper sects—plus the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the four lower sects. The other three sects are located in the Star Luo Empire.

Just as Ning Fengzhi said, the Lower Four Sects were already completely under the control of the Spirit Hall. Coupled with the Spirit Hall's own power, at least 70% of the Soul Masters on the entire continent had close ties with the Spirit Hall. Only they possessed the power to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a very clear signal that the Spirit Hall was about to take action. They were dissatisfied with the current situation on the continent and wanted to further strengthen the Spirit Hall's position.

However, even if it's known that the Spirit Hall was behind it, without evidence, who can question them? With the vast majority of Spirit Masters currently under the Spirit Hall's control, even the two great empires would dare not act rashly. The saying that a single Spirit Master can fight against a hundred is no exaggeration. With tens of thousands of Spirit Masters at their disposal, the Spirit Hall truly possesses the strength to contend with the two great empires.

Flander personally escorted Ning Fengzhi out of the academy. Grandmaster had already gone to find Liu Erlong and was leaving the academy to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan. Although the two had essentially left their clans, at this point, who cared about such things?

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing did not stay any longer. The sudden change made them eager to return to their own country. Only in the Star Luo Empire could they use the resources at their disposal to find out what had happened.

What exactly is the Spirit Hall trying to do? This is the question in everyone's mind.

Three days later, the devastating news arrived.

The entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, numbering over 1,800 members, was wiped out, except for a few disciples who were away from the clan.

Within days, two of the top three sects among the seven major sects were destroyed and one was severely injured. This immediately caused a huge uproar in the Soul Master world. For a time, every Soul Master felt insecure.

The Spirit Hall has issued a strict order to apprehend the murderer. However, it is clear to everyone that the destruction of the three upper sects and two other sects is definitely related to the Spirit Hall.

……

Pope's Palace.

Pope Bibidon put down her tea and listened quietly to the report from the cardinal in front of her.

"In the battle against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a total of 10,000 Soul Masters were dispatched, including 1,000 disciples from the four lower sects. They shattered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Fortress's defenses and severely damaged the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with at least 2,000 disciples from both the inner and outer sects perishing. However, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo's strength exceeded our expectations. Although we attacked them en masse, we were ultimately held back. Our side also suffered heavy losses. At least 4,000 people died in that battle, and the number of wounded exceeded 3,000. Due to the severe injuries sustained by three of our four elders, we had to temporarily retreat."

Bang! The teacup in Bibi Dong's hand instantly turned into dust.

"Damn it. They sent ten thousand men, and it was a sneak attack, yet their losses were double the enemy's. Is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really that strong?"

The members of the Spirit Hall fell silent for a moment, none daring to utter a sound lest they further anger the Pope.

"Continue reporting."

"Yes." The cardinal's voice trembled slightly, but also carried a hint of excitement. "We dispatched eight thousand men in a surprise attack on the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, and the attack went undetected. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan was completely annihilated; not a single survivor escaped. We suffered three thousand casualties. Among them, the Ninth Elder perished alongside the enemy's sect leader. His remains have been retrieved."

Bibi Dong slowly rose to her feet and paced around the main hall. Her eyes flashed with light. "Excellent, truly impressive, the Upper Three Sects. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are indeed established sects; they actually caused me to lose over seven thousand people. They are truly powerful!"

Hu Liena stood behind Bibi Dong the whole time. Ever since she was established as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she had followed Bibi Dong in handling various affairs of the Spirit Hall. At this moment, only she, the Pope's beloved disciple, dared to speak.

"Teacher, please don't be angry. There are always gains and losses. Two of the three upper sects have been destroyed, and the Haotian Sect has disappeared. We've removed a thorn in our side. Although the losses are considerable, this is enough to have a strong deterrent effect on the two great empires. They probably won't dare to act rashly. Once we continue to accumulate strength and proceed according to the original plan, the two great empires will inevitably be infiltrated by us. Just be careful that they don't resort to desperate measures."

Looking at her prized disciple, Bibi Dong's expression softened slightly. "Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo have been gone for quite some time now. What's the news?"

The cardinal said tremblingly, "We haven't received any news yet. The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest soul beast forest on the continent, so I imagine it will take you two some time to search."

Bibi Dong nodded and said, "Order the Martial Soul Temple of Heaven Dou City to be as restrained as possible and not to act rashly. Monitor the movements of the Heaven Dou Empire and the remnants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at all times, and report any developments immediately. The Soul Hunting is temporarily over. Now, we should begin our infiltration plan. Proceed according to the original plan."

"yes--"

In just a few simple words from this iron-blooded pope, the entire Soul Master world of Douluo Continent is facing a reshuffling that involves every region.

……

The Heavenly Dou Empire, Imperial Palace.

*Smash!* Emperor Xueye nearly smashed his chair in anger. "This is too blatant! Too blatant! What is the Spirit Hall trying to do? Do they want to rule the entire continent? Do they really think my Heaven Dou Empire wouldn't dare declare war on them?"

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan had never expressed support for the Empire, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was something he relied heavily on. At this time, the destruction of the two major sects within days caused widespread fear in the soul master world, leading many free soul masters to join the Spirit Hall. Although the two major sects had also inflicted significant losses on the Spirit Hall, they still possessed extremely formidable strength.

At this moment, only a few people were in this sleeping quarters: Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, Grandmaster, and several important officials of the empire.

The master and Ning Fengzhi both had extremely gloomy expressions. That day, when the master and Liu Erlong rushed back to the sect, they saw rivers of blood flowing.

Having not returned to the sect for many years, his return was met with the devastation of loss to his loved ones. This blow plunged Liu Erlong into a coma, and he remains bedridden with a serious illness. While the Grandmaster was stronger, the tragic state of the sect nearly drove him insane.

Compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan suffered an even more tragic fate. Not only was the entire clan wiped out, but they were also completely looted. The current patriarch, who was also the sect leader and the Grandmaster's biological father, had a mutilated body. His three soul bones had been forcibly torn from his body by the enemy.

Although the Heaven Dou Empire sent troops to help immediately, it still took three full days to bury the bodies. On the day all the bodies were buried, Grandmaster stood before his father's grave and swore that he would not rest until the Spirit Hall was destroyed.

Compared to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was relatively fortunate. However, Sword Douluo's most important right arm was completely destroyed, severely weakening the school. The deaths of two thousand disciples further devastated the sect. Fortunately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's wealth was transported to Heaven Dou City in time, and all remaining members evacuated to the imperial capital, thus ensuring their survival.

"Father, please calm down. The most important thing now is to come up with a solution. Currently, the Spirit Hall not only controls most of the Spirit Masters, but also most of the kingdoms and duchies within the Empire. You must not act rashly!" It was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe who spoke. He could see that his father was about to lose his temper.

Emperor Xueye roared, "How could I not act impulsively? Sect Master Ning was devoted to the empire, yet he was nearly killed by the Spirit Hall. If I don't take action, how can I face the fallen members of Sect Master Ning's clan? And Grandmaster, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was wiped out. I never imagined the Spirit Hall could be so cruel."

The master finally spoke, his face even more stiff than before. He had always been criticized by his family, and his relationship with Liu Erlong had been met with numerous obstacles. However, he was, after all, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. The pain he endured from the annihilation of his clan was no less than that of Ning Fengzhi.

"Your Majesty, your greatest help to us is to remain calm and continue to be patient." Despite his reluctance, the Grandmaster still uttered these words. He knew that now was far from the time to confront the Spirit Hall.

"Why? I have a million soldiers, do you think I'm afraid of him?" Emperor Xueye did seem a bit impulsive.

The master shook his head. "It's not fear. It's inability. Your Majesty, you should understand the role Soul Masters can play in battle. This time, our sect was destroyed, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was severely damaged, which is enough to prove that we underestimated the strength of the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall controls at least 30,000 Soul Masters of different levels. The Pope should not have personally participated in this operation."

"Although the Spirit Hall has suffered considerable losses, they still possess at least 20,000 powerful Spirit Masters. We can tentatively estimate them to have ten Title Douluo-level experts. Such strength might not be enough to defeat your million-strong army in a direct confrontation. But don't forget, the Spirit Hall also has the Guardian Knights and the support of those kingdoms. If these Spirit Masters are mixed among the armies of those smaller nations, the consequences would be unimaginable. Our strength alone is insufficient to contend with the Spirit Hall. Ultimately, our Spirit Master strength is still too small, and we lack sufficient leaders. Therefore, we must endure."

The master deliberately amplified his voice when he uttered the last word, "endure," and from that simple word, everyone present could smell the heavy stench of blood.

"Then what suggestions do you have?" Emperor Xueye's emotions stabilized a bit after listening to the master's words. The reason he was so indignant was partly due to his own feelings. The master and Ning Fengzhi were both people he relied on, and sharing a common hatred would tie them together.

Of course, the Spirit Hall's sudden attack caught Emperor Xue Ye and the entire Heaven Dou Empire off guard. On the surface, no one could accuse the Spirit Hall, but Emperor Xue Ye already felt a strong sense of crisis. The Spirit Hall's next target after dealing with the three upper sects was undoubtedly the two great empires. If they didn't prepare in advance, perhaps the fate of the two sects would be the same as the fate of the empires.

Although both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire possess massive armies numbering in the millions, these armies are utterly ineffective against truly powerful Soul Masters. Emperor Xue Ye has significantly increased the defense level of the imperial palace these past few days, precisely to prevent the Spirit Hall from sending powerful assassins.

The Grandmaster's eyes were somewhat bloodshot, but he still tried his best to remain calm. "To deal with the Spirit Hall, the Empire's current strength is far from enough. We must unite, unite all forces that oppose the Spirit Hall, gradually erode them, and develop ourselves. Destroying the Spirit Hall is not something that can be done overnight. Your Majesty had better make long-term plans."

Emperor Xueye was slightly taken aback. "Master, do you mean to join forces with the Star Luo Empire? But as you know, the conflict between our Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire is not something that happened overnight. It has been brewing for a long time and cannot be easily resolved."

Ning Fengzhi spoke up, "Your Majesty, in this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. The Spirit Hall destroyed two major sects, and the Star Luo Empire must have received the news. I don't believe they won't feel fear after receiving the news. Cooperation is inevitable. Moreover, Grandmaster's intention is not just to cooperate with the Spirit Hall. We still lack strong individuals, and we must recruit as many free spirit masters as possible to join our camp in order to gradually reverse the unfavorable situation."

The Grandmaster said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before the Spirit Hall takes action. Their attacks on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are simply aimed at further consolidating their position in the Spirit Master world and increasing their influence and control over it. We must also take action."

Emperor Xueye said, "I understand what you two mean. But do you have any suggestions on how to recruit Soul Masters?"

A deep sorrow flickered in the master's eyes. "With our sect destroyed, my heart is in turmoil. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I cannot offer you further advice. But please rest assured, I will train our Soul Masters as much as possible so that they can be engaged in battle as soon as possible."

Emperor Xueye thought for a moment and said, "This matter should not be delayed. Let's discuss and come to a conclusion as soon as possible."

Due to the Spirit Hall's actions, the entire Heaven Dou Empire has been mobilized in a short period of time, appearing relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside. As for what strategies the empire will adopt to deal with the crisis brought by the Spirit Hall, only the higher-ups know. Just as Grandmaster and Ning Fengzhi judged, the Star Luo Empire has also begun to act quietly.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall issued a statement strongly condemning the perpetrators who destroyed the two major sects. However, it also pointed out that the seven major sects have existed for a long time, and now that the Clear Sky Sect has gone into seclusion, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have been destroyed, it suggested that the seven major sects be re-ranked based on their military strength. Each existing sect will be given one year to prepare. After one year, all sects on the continent can register to participate in the Seven Major Sects Tournament to establish the new seven major sects, ranked according to their strength.

The news caused a huge uproar in the Soul Master world. Everyone knew what the Seven Great Sects meant. Being ranked among them would bring enormous benefits to Soul Master recruitment and other aspects of life. Who wouldn't want to achieve that ranking? With only one year to prepare, almost 80% of the sects in the two empires mobilized.

As for the meaning behind the Spirit Hall's statement, only they themselves know the truth.

Tang San, who was heading to the Star Dou Great Forest, was completely unaware of all of this.

Starry Sky Forest.

Looking at the lush, verdant forest before him, Tang San couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Breathing in the fresh air, his heart had already flown to Xiao Wu's side.

Five years have passed, but the beautiful figure in his heart has never faded; on the contrary, it has become clearer with the passage of time. Just as Ning Rongrong devoted herself to cultivation, Tang San could only temporarily stop thinking about the person in his heart during the most arduous periods of training.

Xiao Wu, it's been five years. How are you? I'm finally able to come and find you.

With excitement, exhilaration, and a touch of trepidation, Tang San finally stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Stepping into the forest was like entering another world. Through his powerful mental senses, Tang San could clearly detect some weaker spirit beasts in the surrounding area. He certainly wouldn't kill them indiscriminately; he activated the Killing God Domain attached to the Clear Sky Hammer, releasing it with a radius of thirty meters centered on his body.

The chilling killing intent frightened most of the ten-year or ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, causing them to scatter and flee, naturally posing no threat to Tang San.

Tang San is no longer the naive young man he once was. He now possesses the strength to survive in the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if he encounters an extremely powerful spirit beast, he can still escape thanks to his two domains and the flight ability granted by his Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone.

However, he didn't choose to fly through the forest, not because flying would consume a lot of his soul power; on the contrary, the sheer strength of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone made the energy expenditure during flight negligible. But Tang San, having studied with Grandmaster for so many years, knew very well that this vast forest of soul beasts was teeming with countless powerful soul beasts. If he flew overhead, he would undoubtedly become a target. That would be dangerous. He wasn't powerful enough to be unafraid of being surrounded and attacked by a large number of soul beasts.

The Star Dou Great Forest, in terms of its geographical environment, location, and area, is the most suitable place for soul beasts to grow and cultivate. It seems that for this reason, the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are of a very high quality, both in terms of quantity and quality.

When Tang San first came here, the teachers at Shrek Academy dared not lead him deep into the area, fearing they would encounter trouble. Even so, they still encountered a super spirit beast like the Titan Giant Ape, and later, the hundred-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider, which Tang San killed and provided him with the Eight Spider Lances as his external spirit bone. This shows that this is a place where danger and profit coexist.

Tang San, of course, didn't know where Xiao Wu was in this great forest. He couldn't possibly search every corner of the Star Dou Great Forest; that was simply unrealistic. Therefore, he could only search according to his teacher's instructions.

The master once said that, generally speaking, in the Soul Beast Forest, the more powerful the soul beast, the closer it lives to the center of the forest. Therefore, to find Xiao Wu, he had to go to the innermost part of the forest. For Tang San, the potential dangers he might encounter were nothing compared to his eagerness to see Xiao Wu.

Since there was no need to search and he could simply proceed straight inwards, Tang San didn't waste any time, and he didn't need to worry about getting lost. The Blue Silver Grass in the forest was his best guide; he only needed to release his Blue Silver Domain to communicate with the Blue Silver Grass, and he would naturally find the correct route. If the Star Dou Great Forest weren't so vast that he couldn't contact all the Blue Silver Grass, he could have found Xiao Wu's location simply through the information transmitted by the Blue Silver Grass.

And so, Tang San traveled through the Star Dou Great Forest at an extremely fast pace for a whole day.

As night fell, Tang San found a relatively high place to stop, feeling tired after a day of traveling.

The Blue Silver Domain activated, accompanied by a pale blue halo spreading from his body. Soon, the surrounding Blue Silver Grass released excited and joyful emotions. A strange sight appeared. The Blue Silver Grass around Tang San's body suddenly grew rapidly, quickly reaching a height of three meters. The thick grass leaves began to intertwine and coalesce, constructing a solid house for their emperor through their interconnectedness.

With Blue Silver Grass readily available across the continent, the Blue Silver Domain may not be the most powerful domain, but it is undoubtedly the most practical. This is unmatched by any other domain.

Just as Tang San was about to eat some of the dry rations he carried with him and then rest, he suddenly sensed a special aura from the information transmitted to him by the Blue Silver Grass.

It was a strange feeling he had never experienced before. Ordinary Blue Silver Grass only possessed minimal intelligence, and Tang San could only sense their changes through emotions. This time was no exception; however, the emotion Tang San sensed was tension and resistance.

Of course, this emotion wasn't resistance towards him, the Blue Silver Emperor. What, then, could cause the Blue Silver Grass to feel this tension, even a sense of fear?

A powerful spirit beast? No, it shouldn't be. The Star Dou Great Forest is, after all, a forest of spirit beasts. The spirit beasts here have lived for tens of thousands of years, and the Blue Silver Grass has long been accustomed to their presence. What could make the Blue Silver Grass feel tense and resistant must be something unfamiliar, or perhaps, a human.

Fans of Douluo Continent, please vote for Xiao San! Your support is my greatest motivation, thank you.
