Douluo Continent: After seizing the opportunity, I achieved dual godhood.

Chapter 53 The Red-Clad Cult Leader of the Spirit Hall

Three Soul Masters arrived, none of whom they had ever seen before, but Wen Ning knew who they were.

Originally, this part of the story shouldn't have happened to her, but the key issue is that she took over Tang San's storyline, and now trouble has naturally come her way.

Among the three, there was a tall, thin old man who looked to be at least seventy years old. Like the other old man, he had a full head of silver hair and held a dragon-headed cane that was over four meters long. It was bright silver with a lifelike dragon head on the head of the cane, making it look extremely dazzling.

His face was covered in wrinkles that showed his age, and there were eight spirit rings on his body that were pulsating up and down.

Two yellows, three purples, three blacks.

He is a powerful expert at the level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

The three of them noticed the dead human-faced spider as soon as they arrived, and their expressions changed drastically.

The young girl beside the two old men almost cried out, "No, how could this be? Why? Why? Who killed my demon spider?"

The girl was dressed in a dark green outfit, looking very heroic.

The Spirit Hall group consisted of seven people. The old man noticed them as soon as he arrived, and his cold gaze swept over Hu Liena and the others as his granddaughter spoke.

Hearing the girl's excited voice, Xie Yue took two steps forward and immediately admitted to the crime, "I killed him."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Wen Ning and Wen Lin took a step forward in unison and said, "I killed him."

Seeing them scrambling to claim responsibility, the old man looked at them and said coldly, "No matter who killed it, do you know that we have been chasing this human-faced spider for a whole day? If it weren't for its annoying web, it would have already become Yiran's soul ring."

"The number of human-faced demon spiders is extremely small because they are not tolerated by other soul beasts, and they are very rare even in this Star Dou Great Forest."

Hearing these words, Wen Ning's expression remained unchanged, showing no fear whatsoever. He simply said, "We know what you're saying, but we must protect ourselves. A human-faced demon spider suddenly appears before us; should we let it kill us?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression changed slightly, as if he had been angered.

"Grandpa, you have to stand up for me!"

Meng Yiran was only sixteen years old, and after two such incidents, she could no longer contain her anger.

The old man raised his hand and patted his granddaughter's head, signaling her to calm down.

Then, he looked in the direction of Wen Ning and the others, his voice even colder than before, "I can let it go if you hunt down the Man-Faced Demon Spider to protect yourselves, but you have to give me an explanation for the waste of my granddaughter's powerful spirit ring."

There are seven people here, only three of whom look to be around the same age as his granddaughter. However, his granddaughter's cultivation speed is already among the best of her peers, so the people in front of her are probably not there to obtain their third spirit ring. At most, they are there to obtain their second spirit ring for the younger ones.

In that case, the soul ring of the Human-Faced Demon Orb is essentially wasted.

But upon hearing his words, Wen Ning revealed a profound and enigmatic smile.

Before she could speak, Qi Lin was even faster, "Waste? That's impossible. How could it be a waste? The reason we hunt the Human-Faced Demon Spider is precisely because someone needs it as a spirit ring."

What?

Someone just happens to need the Human-Faced Demon Spider as a spirit ring?

Are they those three young people who are still around the same age?

The old man's expression changed slightly, and he was about to say something when Qi Lin pulled Wen Lin to stand up. His voice was clear and loud, "This is the person who needs to obtain a soul ring."

The old man's expression changed slightly at first, but after seeing Wen Lin's appearance clearly, his eyes widened slightly.

What?

Is he the one who needs to obtain the third spirit ring?

This person looks no more than twelve or thirteen years old, yet he's already at level thirty?

How is that possible?

Yiran's cultivation speed was already very fast, but in just one day, he actually encountered so many people whose cultivation speed was even faster than Yiran's?

"You're already level 30?"

The old man took a step forward and looked at Wen Lin.

Although he looked very old, his eyes were exceptionally bright and clear.

However, there was no emotion in those eyes at that moment.

All that remained was scrutiny and confusion.

"Um."

Wen Lin's voice was very soft, but he was indeed replying to the old man's words.

The old man was a Contra-level powerhouse; they shouldn't be provoked lightly.

The opponent had three ten-thousand-year soul rings, while their strongest was only a Soul Master.

"If you were..."

"Senior Long Gong."

The old man was interrupted before he could finish speaking. It was an extremely stern voice, but it was completely unfamiliar to Wen Ning.

I've never heard of it before.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Who is the owner of this voice?

Wen Ning couldn't help but become curious about this.

She wasn't the only one curious about this; even the old man in front of her looked in the direction from which the voice came after hearing it.

Upon seeing the other person's attire, the old man's face flashed with shock.

How could that be?

How did they end up here?

The other person was dressed in red, with his face hidden under a cloak, making it impossible to see his features. However, the several rings of spirit rings surrounding his body were quite conspicuous.

Two yellow, two purple, and four black.

He is also a Contra-level powerhouse.

However, the opponent's soul ring combination was clearly stronger than that of the old man in front of him.

Most importantly, there were five Soul Emperor-level experts beside this man in red.

Each person's soul ring combination was remarkably consistent: two yellow, two purple, and two black.

The other party's presence here at this moment is of utmost importance.

Upon seeing who it was, Wen Ning immediately nudged Hu Liena with her arm and lowered her voice, "Sent by the teacher?"

Hu Liena was also completely unaware of this, and when she heard Wen Ning's question, she simply frowned and said uncertainly, "The only person who could get the Cardinal to come forward to protect us should be our teacher."

She had always thought that the teacher didn't care about this trip and didn't care about them, but little did she know that the teacher had actually sent someone to secretly protect them.

Wen Ning was somewhat surprised when his suspicions were confirmed.

The system didn't mention this, nor did the plants of the Star Dou Great Forest tell her about it.

Why?

Is it because they have no ill intentions towards us?

The old man originally thought that he would only encounter students from advanced soul master academies, but when he saw the man in red, he knew that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

These kids opposite us aren't from the Advanced Soul Master Academy, but from the Spirit Hall!
