This last elder wore a hood, and under the shadow of the hood, a young face of no more than thirty years old could be vaguely seen, which was in sharp contrast to the other elders.
[Ninth Elder Xiao Wuye]
Martial Soul: Soul Devouring Chain
Soul power level: 93
Special status: Soul abnormality (traveler mark)
System Binding: Luck Plundering System (LV.2)
"Sure enough, there is a time traveler!" Qian Xunji sneered in his heart but remained expressionless on his face.
Xiao Wuye seemed to notice his gaze, raised his head slightly and revealed a meaningful smile.
"Your Holiness, how is your recovery going?" His tone was respectful, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Qianxunji stroked the scepter with a normal expression, and said in a weak voice: "It's fine now. Thank you for your concern, Elder Jiu."
---
The fluctuations of soul power in the hall suddenly stagnated.
Qian Xunji slowly stood up, "Yesterday's battle with Tang Hao..." His fingertips stroked the wound on his chest that had not yet healed, and his voice was like ice. "Although this person escaped with serious injuries, he brought a baby with him."
Ghost Douluo's shadow twisted slightly: "Your Holiness the Pope means..."
"Cut the roots." Qianxunji's voice was like a sharp blade: "Go to Youyin Valley immediately - they can't go far!"
Demon Bear Douluo's rough face was filled with astonishment: "Mobilizing all the elders to encircle and suppress a junior who just broke through level 90? If this gets out..."
"Demon bear!" Yue Guan interrupted suddenly, and the strange chrysanthemum bloomed in his palm.
He glanced at the blood-stained collar of the Pope meaningfully: "Your Majesty has his own deep meaning, how can we guess it?"
The air suddenly froze.
Several elders exchanged glances, and finally Demon Bear Douluo clasped his fists and said, "I spoke out of turn."
Qian Xunji's gaze swept across everyone and lingered on Xiao Wuye for a moment.
The Ninth Elder was wrapping the Soul Devouring Chain around his fingertips, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth under his hood.
"We will set out in half an hour." The elders took orders as the Pope rolled up his sleeves.
After everyone left, Qianxunji sat alone in the hall, tapping the handrail with his fingertips.
"Tang San is just one of the targets. What's more troublesome is that... there are already time travelers lurking inside the Spirit Hall."
He recalled Xiao Wuye's luck plundering system and became alert: "His system is already at level 2. It's too risky to act rashly."
"We must find an opportunity to kill with one strike!"
---
Just as Qianxun was thinking of a countermeasure, the palace door was gently pushed open.
Bibi Dong walked in slowly, holding a healing elixir that emitted a soft glow - the Five-Hearted Begonia.
"Teacher, this is what you asked for." She spoke calmly, but there was a hint of complicated emotions in the depths of her eyes.
Qianxunji took the jade-like five-hearted crabapple, and the moment their fingertips touched, Bibi Dong retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
He calmly activated the Identification Technique, a golden light flashed in his eyes——
[Spirit Hall Saint Bibi Dong]
Martial Soul: Death Spider King/Soul Devouring Spider King
Soul power level: 88
Special Status: No abnormality (Native)
"Not a time traveler..." Qianxunji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Bibi Dong looking at him with complicated eyes.
In those amethyst-like eyes, anger and confusion were intertwined, and there was even a faint gleam of water.
He suddenly remembered that at this moment, Bibi Dong should have devoured him and started the Rakshasa Divine Test.
"Dong'er." Qianxunji suddenly spoke, his voice so gentle that he didn't even notice it, "You should have a good rest."
He gathered soul power on his fingertips, and the five-hearted crabapple turned into starlight and merged into the wound, "Take care of yourself."
Bibi Dong's delicate body trembled slightly.
This teacher who had never shown her any warmth and kindness seemed like a different person at this moment.
The hatred that had been brewing for years suddenly had no place to go, making her feel very confused.
"Where is the teacher going?" she asked subconsciously, and only realized her loss of composure after she finished asking.
Qianxunji fastened the silver buckle of the Pope's robe, and the shadow of the six-winged angel stretched out behind him: "Go to the Spirit Hall... and eliminate the source of evil.
As the palace door opened and closed, he caught a last glimpse of Bibi Dong standing there in a daze. The dagger that was supposed to kill him was slipping silently from her sleeve.
——
The Youyin Valley was covered with dark clouds.
Lingyuan Douluo flapped his wings and landed, kneeling on one knee, saying in a cold voice: "Your Holiness, blood has been found ahead, and it has not yet dried!"
Qianxunji's eyes fixed, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Chase!"
Ten figures flashed across the valley like ghosts, following the trail of blood.
Finally, under a cliff, they saw the man whose body was covered in blood but whose back was still straight - Tang Hao!
He held the hammer in one hand, and the ground beneath his feet was cracking. It was obvious that he was at the end of his strength.
But those eyes were still as ferocious as a beast.
"Qianxunji! Do you want to take another blow from me!?"
Qianxunji chuckled, tapped the ground with the angel's holy sword, and the shadow of the six-winged angel slowly unfolded behind him.
"Tang Hao, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death."
He raised his hand and waved, his voice cold and teasing -
"Everyone, come on!"
Boom——!!!
The nine titled Douluo activated their martial spirit forms at the same time!
-Chrysanthemum Douluo·Yueguan——The strange chrysanthemum blooms, and the golden petals sweep like a knife!
-Ghost Douluo·Ghostly——Covered by shadows and eerie ghosts!
-Demon Bear Douluo——The blood demon bear roared, and the earth trembled!
-Ghost Leopard Douluo——Extreme speed, with afterimages all over the sky!
-Snake Spear Douluo Shelong——Snake spear is like lightning, tearing the sky!
- Thorny Porpoise Douluo·Thornblood——Poisonous fog is everywhere, corroding everything!
-Spirit Kite Douluo——The Fiery Spirit Kite flaps its wings and rains fire!
-Sea Ghost Douluo——The pressure of the deep sea, the soul power is like the tide!
- Ninth Elder Xiao Wuye——The soul-devouring chain entangled him, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue!
The pressure from the nine Titled Douluo crushed Tang Hao like a landslide or tsunami!
Tang Hao's eyes were red with anger as he roared, "Qianxunji! If you have the guts, challenge me in a one-on-one duel! What's the point of calling so many people?!"
Qianxunji raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his eyes full of teasing:
"Why fight alone when you can fight in a group? I'm not a fool!"
——
At this moment, a gleam of greed flashed in Xiao Wuye's eyes.
"Tang Hao and Tang San's destiny...I will take it!"
"As long as I devour their luck, my 'luck plundering system' will be upgraded to level three! Breaking through level 95 is just around the corner!"
He quietly activated the system, and the runes on the Soul Devouring Chain flickered, preparing to begin silently extracting the luck from Tang Hao...
——
However, Qianxunji had already seen through everything!
"Xiao Wuye... you really can't hold yourself back anymore."
"Very good, once Tang Hao dies... the next one will be you!"
Above the Youyin Valley, dark clouds rolled and the wind howled.
Tang Hao was covered in blood, his eyes red like a demon.
He tightly grasped the Clear Sky Hammer in one hand, the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and a suffocating and violent soul power rose wildly in his body!
"Spirit Hall... is going too far!"
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes burning with a determined fighting spirit, and roared word by word -
"The Great Sumeru Hammer: The Final Secret—"
"Nine rings exploded simultaneously!!!"
Boom——!!!
