The two nodded in agreement simultaneously, channeled their soul power, and rushed out of the Hall of Worship. They located the Demon Bear Douluo and led him toward Heaven Dou City to support Qian Renxue.
After the Thousand Striker and Dragon Tamer Douluo had departed, the Lion Douluo stood up abruptly, a fierce look emerging on his cold, stern face.
"Grand Worshipper, I want to go too!"
"Lion, your heavy injuries haven't healed yet. It would be better for you to stay in the Hall of Worship and recuperate in peace."
"He is right, Old Four. You should stay here. Trust that Old Five and Old Six will help Little Xue seize the political power of the Heaven Dou Empire!" The Third Worshipper, the Green Luan Douluo, also nodded in agreement.
The Lion Douluo shook his head, his icy expression turning grave. The thought of Davis's talent and strength actually instilled a trace of fear in him.
"No, that Star Luo Crown Prince's talent is too terrifying! We must wipe him out this time, no matter the cost! Otherwise, if we wait until he becomes a Titled Douluo, I fear that aside from the Grand Worshipper, no one here will be his match in a one-on-one fight! We must strangle this great enemy in the cradle while we still can!"
Considering that Davis was currently under thirty years old yet already possessed the cultivation of a Spirit Douluo—along with two hundred-thousand-year soul rings and the ability to contend with a Titled Douluo—Qian Daoliu also realized that Davis was a massive threat.
With Davis and Xue Beng now joining forces, if they didn't respond appropriately, there was a high probability that Qian Renxue's plan, which had been in motion for over twenty years, would fall short of success. At this critical juncture, every bit of extra strength on Qian Renxue's side meant an extra glimmer of hope.
With this in mind, Qian Daoliu spoke, "Very well, Lion, you go ahead! However, you can currently only exert half of your combat power, so you must be careful!"
"Grand Worshipper, please rest assured. This time, I was merely ambushed by that little brat. The next time we meet, I will definitely take his head!"
Having said this, the Lion Douluo bid farewell and departed, heading toward Heaven Dou City at his fastest speed. Ten days passed in a flash.
Ten days later, after a long and arduous journey, Davis and his group successfully arrived at Heaven Dou City.
However, the moment they reached the city gates, Davis sensed something was wrong. Seeing Yang Wudi and the others about to walk through the gates, he suddenly called out in warning.
"Wait, there's a situation. Don't enter the city yet!"
In an instant, Davis's voice echoed abruptly in everyone's minds. Hearing this, their expressions changed in shock as they turned to look at Davis.
They knew Davis well; unless the situation was extremely urgent, he would not use soul power transmission to communicate.
"Vis, what's wrong?" After stopping, Zhu Zhuyun also used soul power transmission to ask Davis. She glanced at the gates of Heaven Dou City, a look of confusion on her face. "I don't sense anything wrong?"
Davis quietly opened his Evil Eyes of Ice and Fire to scrutinize the cultivation of the gate guards. He discovered that under the helmets of the iron-clad soldiers standing guard were all Assault System Battle Spirit Masters. Moreover, they possessed at least the cultivation of a Spirit King. Their strength was not to be underestimated.
Furthermore, the two captains of the guard possessed the cultivation of Spirit Sages, with soul power levels above rank seventy-five.
Davis couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment. When did the security of Heaven Dou City become so strict? Using high-level Spirit Sages to guard the city gates was something only Heaven Dou City could afford to do.
At this moment, Lin Qiuyang also reacted. His expression gradually stiffened, and he frowned deeply. "The guards have all been replaced by Spirit Masters, and there are elite iron-clad troops guarding the gates at all times. The current Heaven Dou City is simply an impregnable fortress. The iron-clad troops have surrounded the city tight as a drum. Obviously, something major is about to happen in Heaven Dou City!"
Looking at the deep, dark city gates not far away, Lin Qiuyang actually felt a sensation akin to standing on the edge of an abyss at midnight. His subconscious was warning him not to go any further—this was a trap!
Realizing this, alarm bells rang loudly in Lin Qiuyang's mind. "Your Highness, I have a feeling that this entire city is a trap specifically targeting us. Should we still enter?"
"Hmph, of course we're going in," Davis said, the corners of his mouth lifting to reveal a wicked, charming smile. "I want to see exactly what kind of surprise Xue Qinghe has prepared for me."
As he spoke, Davis took a large step forward, advancing toward Heaven Dou City. Seeing this, Lin Qiuyang couldn't help but remind him, "But Your Highness, if this is a trap set by Xue Qinghe, aren't we just walking right into the net by going in so foolishly?"
"Hehe, if we don't enter the city, wouldn't that show that I'm afraid of Xue Qinghe? How are we supposed to muddy the waters of the Heaven Dou Empire then?"
Smiling, Davis continued, "Besides, with this level of security, they can't stop us at all. Don't forget, we still have Senior Dugu!"
Dugu Bo's title was the Poison Douluo. His ninth soul skill, the Jade Phosphor Divine Light, could slaughter an entire city in an instant.
After consuming so many poisonous herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo's snake venom had received an epic enhancement. Now, with Ning Wenze, a support-type Spirit Douluo, assisting him, if these iron-clad troops dared to make a move against them, he would let Dugu Bo slaughter the entire Heaven Dou City!
Since they weren't citizens of the Star Luo Empire, even if they all died, Davis wouldn't feel the slightest bit of heartache.
"Alright, even if it is a trap, I have a way to deal with it. Let's hurry into the city; Prince Xue Beng is probably getting impatient waiting for us."
Davis smiled indifferently and strutted into Heaven Dou City. Lin Qiuyang and the others followed close behind. After the group had entered the city, a soldier guarding the wall quietly slipped away, heading toward the Crown Prince's residence to report the whereabouts of Davis and his party.
Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence.
Looking at the Lion Douluo, Thousand Striker Douluo, Dragon Tamer Douluo, and Demon Bear Douluo before him, Xue Qinghe felt a sense of pleasant surprise, but at the same time, he felt immense pressure.
Xue Qinghe frowned and said, "Grandpa Four, are you saying that you almost died at the hands of that Lin Qiuyang?"
"That's right. If I had clashed head-on with Lin Qiuyang back then, I'm afraid I would have died. The support effect of the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is too strong!" The Lion Douluo said unwillingly. If not for Davis's sneak attack combined with Ning Wenze's support, Lin Qiuyang would definitely not have been his match.
"Grandpa Six, Grandpa Seven, are you saying that the Star Luo Holy Tiger formed by the fusion of Davis and the Zhu sisters can barely exchange blows with you for a short time?"
"Correct. Among all the martial soul fusion skills I know, their Star Luo Holy Tiger is the most tyrannical," the Thousand Striker Douluo responded. "Moreover, Davis has an extremely bizarre domain. Whether it's a Beast Spirit Master or a Tool Spirit Master, their combat power drops significantly within that domain."
Hearing this, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but let out a cold snort. "I didn't expect this Davis to become so formidable!"
Learning that Davis possessed two hundred-thousand-year soul rings, Xue Qinghe spoke with some reluctance. He knew that the current him was simply no match for Davis.
"Young Master, what should we do next?"
At this moment, even the usually childish Light Feather Douluo (Guangling) wore a solemn expression.
"Don't worry, I have long prepared for two contingencies!" As he spoke, Xue Qinghe gazed toward Emperor Xue Ye's sleeping quarters, murderous intent surging in the corners of his eyes!
