Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"Go to hell."

Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyu's power suddenly became extremely violent, crushing the Golden Dragon Soul in a single blow. Even Yan's figure was instantly submerged by the distorted time turbulence, and large areas of space were twisted, with dark cracks appearing in the sky.

This sudden scene shocked everyone. Below, Fentian and Chenmo were extremely nervous. They were already considering whether to take this opportunity to gather all the power of Blood Red Prison and leave all the people from the other three holy lands present.

"wrong."

After Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyu dealt with Yan and the Golden Dragon Soul, they immediately turned to deal with Wu Yunyue. However, in the instant they turned their heads, the observant Yun Ruoyu suddenly noticed something was wrong with Yan, whom they had just dealt with.

Although the destructive power they secretly unleashed was extremely powerful, the defeated Yan did not scatter any flesh or blood in the sky, and it was also eliminated rather easily.

Yun Ruoyu had just blurted out "No!" when she suddenly felt a purple light appear beside her. Then the guy who shocked her appeared again. She subconsciously unleashed her power and smashed his head with a palm strike. However, in the next instant, she and Huang Xingyun were sent flying.

Hidden within the overwhelming evil energy unleashed by Wu Yunyue was Yan, and this was her true form. Taking advantage of their momentary lapse in concentration, Wu Yunyue intercepted their burst of heavenly power attacks, while Yan seized the opportunity to severely injure them.

Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyu were both bleeding profusely in the sky. They never expected to encounter such a formidable opponent. Even after using their trump cards, they were still severely injured by the scheme. This enemy was too powerful.

"Admit defeat."

Huang Xingyun struggled to hold the more seriously injured Yun Ruoyu in his arms. Just now, Yun Ruoyu had noticed Yan's abnormality and was distracted, which led to her being caught off guard and severely injured. Her injuries were much more serious than Huang Xingyun's. Under these circumstances, Huang Xingyun quickly admitted defeat.

"stop!"

"stop!"

Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyu conceded defeat, and Yan and Wu Yunyue, not wanting to continue their pursuit in public, slowed down and landed slowly. The Tianxie Sect members erupted in cheers, while the Youqing Valley side was filled with sorrow and indignation.

Everyone from Youqing Valley was injured. People from Haomiao Palace came to help out of their usual alliance. Youqing Valley suffered heavy losses this time. Although Haomiao Palace had doubts about Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyu hiding their strength, they certainly couldn't bring it up now.

"Brother Wu, your Heavenly Evil Sect is quite secretive. May I ask who this gentleman is?"

Seeing the current situation, Crimson Prison Lord Burning Heaven breathed a sigh of relief. Their plan was still in its initial stages, and they weren't confident they could turn against each other directly. It would be best to stall for time. However, he didn't forget to probe Yan Se's identity, after all, this hidden powerhouse had caused them great losses.

"This is the vice leader of my Heavenly Evil Sect, second only to me."

Wu Yunyue knew that Yan didn't want to reveal his identity, so she briefly introduced the background of Mohu and then stopped talking. Of course, the others were very dissatisfied with his introduction.

Chapter 555: The Grand Competition Ends

"Brother Wu, you've got a great helper."

Xue Aotian, the master of Snow God Mountain, was also quite interested in Yan. He came to the group of people from the Heavenly Evil Sect, glanced at them a few times, and then cupped his hands towards Yan, saying, "Thank you for what happened earlier."

Spatial teleportation is troublesome enough, but you also possess a clone ability nearly as powerful as your main body. The combination of these two makes it difficult even for me to be confident against such a technique.

Yan replied calmly, "You flatter me, Mountain Lord. If you were always at your peak, I wouldn't be so confident. However, I'm not willing to take advantage of someone in distress, and besides, there's something else between me and you, Mountain Lord."

"You and me? I don't know you, but if there's a chance, we can have a match."

Upon hearing Yan's reply, Xue Aotian's eyebrows twitched, showing both anger and a hint of doubt.

Yan replied that he was unwilling to take advantage of someone's misfortune, implying that if he had stepped in, Xue Aotian would have undoubtedly lost. This was not a good thing for the proud Lord of Snow God Mountain.

Regarding Yan's claim that he had a connection with Yan, Xue Aotian had no recollection of it after recalling it, and was somewhat puzzled. However, he knew this wasn't the right time to ask, so he didn't directly ask. Instead, he challenged Yan to a duel, which also served as a test.

"Mountain Lord, there will be a chance for us to fight."

Yan's tone was very mysterious, as if he was hiding something or hinting at something. Xue Aotian racked his brains but could not come up with a solution, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Isn't this the Second Palace Master? What brings you to our Heavenly Evil Sect?"

Just as Yan was about to end his conversation with Xue Aotian, he saw Shangguan Tianyue walking over with an unhappy expression, so he greeted her with a light laugh.

Shangguan Tianyue stopped in front of Yan. "It really is you. I remember what happened last time very clearly."

He was somewhat restrained because Xue Aotian was by his side, and it would be best not to mention that Haomiao Palace had been infiltrated. However, he was also a somewhat reckless person, so his words were sometimes incoherent.

Yan's eyes held a hint of a smile. "What do you remember? Your daughter and I actually get along very well. You could consider it..."

"Shut up."

The thought of her daughter being kidnapped by this man filled Shangguan Tianyue with uncontrollable rage. "You just wait and see, if you dare to lay a finger on Fei'er again, I won't let you get away with it."

"Oh!"

Yan shrugged dismissively. "I remember last time, you weren't a match for me, were you? Besides, I didn't say it was Fei'er, did I?"

"asshole……"

Shangguan Tianyue couldn't help but want to make a move. Yan took a step back, and Wu Yunyue stepped forward to block Shangguan Tianyue. Shangguan Tianyang also came over.

"Brother Wu, there are some things that are not a good thing to do!"

Shangguan Tianyang pulled Shangguan Tianyue behind him, looked at Wu Yunyue in front of him, and probed meaningfully.

"You've even put Snow God Mountain on Heavenly Pearl Island, yet you've been suppressing my Heavenly Evil Sect. Who's really in the wrong here?"

Wu Yunyue glanced at Yan behind her. She knew that this guy who was lusting after her daughter had a lot of affairs, but she had to cover for him now. It was really annoying, but she had no choice but to speak up.

"The Dzi Bead Competition has regulations."

After a moment of silence, Shangguan Tianyang spoke. Wu Yunyue remained silent. Both of them knew that there was no way to reach a conclusion on this matter, so they simply compromised, nodded, and retreated one after another.

Just as the Heavenly Evil Sect was receiving the people from Snow God Mountain and Vast Palace, the Crimson Prison Master, Burning Heaven, who was standing at the edge of the square, frowned. Suddenly, he casually glanced at the Valley of Affection, and his eyes met those of the Valley Master, Huang Xingyun.

When their eyes met, they both saw the coldness in each other's eyes. This change happened in an instant, and only a very few people could catch the change in the eyes of these two holy land masters.

Fentian shook his head slightly, and Huang Xingyun lowered his head with red eyes. He knew that Fentian meant not to take any risks for the time being. After all, although they had received the power bestowed by their lord, they were not very confident that they could destroy the three holy lands.

Although he was very unwilling, Huang Xingyun could only endure it for the time being. He was not as strong as others, and he was also under the control of a master and Fentian, who was considered a half-superior. He had to prioritize the overall situation.

"Brother Shangguan, the next competition will be between you and me."

Fen Tian glanced around the room briefly, and after everyone had returned to their places, he looked at Shangguan Tianyang. Shangguan Tianyang glanced at Xue Aotian, and seeing that the latter didn't even look at him, he nodded somewhat dejectedly.

He brought more than sixty Heavenly King level experts with him this time, intending to use the Vast and Limitless Array to deal with the Snow God Mountain Lord. However, he did not expect that this person would come alone this time and had no intention of entering the array to fight. Well, there was nothing he could do but consider it a wasted trip.

"Brother Shangguan, please."

Burning Heaven had been pondering for some time and ultimately chose to proceed cautiously. He waved his hand, summoning about ten Heavenly King-level warriors to the stage, ultimately deciding to conserve his strength. After all, Blood Crimson Prison had been second to last many times, so one more time wouldn't make a difference.

"Brother Fentian, please forgive us for winning unfairly."

Shangguan Tianyang summoned more than sixty experts from the Vast Palace to appear together. The Vast Infinite Array instantly enveloped the sky, and the people of Blood Red Prison immediately felt a complete suppression and blockade.

Shangguan Tianyang is always cautious, and given that the Valley of Affection had just failed in front of him, even when facing the Blood Red Prison, which was clearly not taking things seriously, he brought all his men to lock onto the outcome with the Vast and Limitless Array, not giving the opponent any chance whatsoever.

As expected, the Vast Palace emerged victorious. The various holy lands will continue to fight until the final winner is determined. However, due to the incident at the Valley of Love, both the Vast Palace and the Crimson Prison are quite wary of the Heavenly Evil Sect.

"Lord of the Crimson Prison, our Heavenly Evil Cult surrenders to the Vast Palace."

Just as Fentian was preparing to arrange the third team battle, Yan from the Tianxie Sect camp suddenly spoke up, which surprised everyone but also made them realize something.

Although the Heavenly Evil Sect concealed its trump card and severely damaged the Valley of Affection this time, it was still far too weak compared to the Vast Palace, which had shamelessly sent more than sixty people to form the Vast and Boundless Array.

Although the Vast Expanse Palace and the Valley of Affection are only allies for mutual benefit, there's no guarantee that the Vast Expanse Palace won't turn on them. Even disregarding this factor, the Heavenly Evil Sect has virtually no chance of winning against the Vast Expanse Palace. Given this situation, it's best to avoid this battle altogether, for the sake of both sides.

"Uh!"

Fen Tian was somewhat bewildered by Yan's sudden move, but after a moment's thought, he didn't dwell on it. After all, Yan had previously surrendered to the Snow God Mountain Lord on behalf of the Heavenly Evil Sect. He was a guy with a history of such actions and was adept at assessing situations, so it wasn't surprising that he made such a move.

"Since the Heavenly Evil Sect has admitted defeat to the Vast Expanse Palace, I would like to congratulate Palace Master Shangguan on winning the final victory."

After a slight surprise, Fen Tian smiled and continued, "Since the members of the Heavenly Evil Sect are so sensible, I, Blood Red Prison, will also prioritize peace this time. Blood Red Prison concedes defeat in this battle against the Heavenly Evil Sect."

Burning Heaven made this decision with feigned nonchalance, seemingly to save face for Blood Red Prison. After all, Love Valley, which was ranked higher than them, had suffered a calamity, and Blood Red Prison was likely to fail if they went up there.

In reality, as those who had contact with the Lord earlier, Burning Heaven and the Blood Prison he led had long surpassed the Valley of Affection in strength. The reason they retreated at this time was entirely to avoid suspicion.

They and Youqing Valley both received gifts from the Lord. Once that destructive power with its violent nature is exposed, it could easily arouse vigilance and ultimately disrupt important matters. Therefore, for now, he just wants to stall for time and deal with other things slowly.

"Thank you, Lord of the Burning Heaven Prison."

Within the Heavenly Evil Cult's ranks, Yan bowed to Fentian. He wasn't surprised by Fentian's decision. Often, people don't understand things simply because they lack knowledge. With his extensive information, it was easy for him to deduce Fentian's considerations.

"Everyone, let's conclude this Holy Land Competition here! I, Blood Red Prison, will now act as the host and arrange for the younger generation from each family to get to know each other!"

Burning Heaven chuckled as he arranged the conclusion of the Holy Land Grand Competition. He then instructed the attendants of the Crimson Prison to prepare a banquet, giving the young disciples from each Holy Land a chance to get to know each other. After all, these Holy Land lords had all risen to their positions in the same way.

On the side of the Heavenly Evil Cult, the little witch led several young followers to represent the Heavenly Evil Cult in contacting people from several holy sites.

Yan then picked up Tian'er, the little white tiger disguised as a tiger-striped cat, from Shangguan Bing'er's arms. Holding Bing'er's little hand, his thoughts had already wandered off somewhere else.

"Woooo..."

As Yan was thinking about the next arrangements, he suddenly felt a slight pain in his palm. Looking down, he saw that it was the little white tiger Tian'er making a fuss again. He subconsciously withdrew his left hand, which was holding Shangguan Bing'er, and gave Tian'er a little smack on the bottom.

“Little thing, if you don’t behave, I’ll throw you in front of the Snow God Mountain Lord.”

Yan whispered a threat, and the little white tiger disguised as a tiger-striped cat immediately became obedient. The little thing was even trembling, clearly having already made many connections and not understanding how its identity had been exposed.

"Bing'er, do you know your father?"

Yan first tamed the restless little white tiger, then took Shangguan Bing'er's hand. Their relationship had grown closer recently, and Yan felt he could get to base again at any moment.

For a moment, Shangguan Bing'er's eyes dimmed, and she shook her head with a touch of sadness. "My mother didn't tell me much about my father."

"Your father may have hurt your aunt, but don't worry, I won't hurt you."

As Yan reached out and embraced Shangguan Bing'er, he casually dug a hole for his father-in-law, Shangguan Tianyue. Anyway, it seemed that the reason for the couple's conflict was Shangguan Tianyue's fault, and he wasn't lying.

At the Vast Palace, Shangguan Tianyue, who was discussing matters with Shangguan Tianyang, suddenly felt a chill. She subconsciously looked up and saw Yan holding a girl wearing a mask, who seemed very familiar.

He was a little confused about why he had this strange feeling, but after thinking about it for a long time without any results, he could only guess that it was probably because he hadn't rested well and that things had gone wrong today, so he was probably just upset. He figured it was nothing serious.

He explained it to himself like this, which calmed him down a bit. He then discussed it with Shangguan Tianyang again, but he couldn't help but glance at Yan's side a few more times.

Chapter 556 The Appearance of the Netherworld

This is a massive cave, stretching as far as the eye can see. Strangely, the enormous stalactites hanging from the cave ceiling are a deep, rich blood color. And below, the world is an even more crimson expanse.

The bloody liquid churned continuously, and it was impossible to discern the depth of its intense crimson color by sight alone; even the air seemed to carry a faint red hue.

Right in the center of this cave, there is a pitch-black stone platform. The platform is not large, only about five meters in diameter, but its deep black color stands out in this blood-red world.

At the very center of the stone platform was a strange black spot, which coalesced into a black hole-like structure, about one meter in diameter, surrounded by a faint red glow. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that this red glow originated from the condensation of blood in the air.

At this very moment, four figures stood before the black hole on the stone platform: three men and one woman, each exuding an eerie aura.

Two of them, dressed in blood-red robes, were none other than the Crimson Prison Master, Fen Tian, ​​and his deputy, Shen Mo. The other two, however, were somewhat different, their auras weakened; they were Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyu, the couple from the Valley of Affection, who should have been healing in their room.

At this moment, the four of them were enveloped by a mysterious power. Fen Tian and Shen Mo's eyes emitted a faint golden light, and their cultivation was steadily improving. Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyu, who had been seriously injured during the day, not only recovered from their injuries, but also gained a significant boost in their cultivation.

After a long while, the crimson fluctuations in this area faded considerably. The four of them stood up at the same time, staring at the eerie black hole in front of them with respectful expressions.
