"Palace Master, someone has broken into the Mist-Locking Soul Formation."
When Xiao Mu arrived, Yang Ziqi was already waiting here.
He has not yet officially taken office as the dean of Soul Palace Academy. Shui Qiutan, Huo Chengyun and Feng Xingzhi have all returned to the academy. Soul Palace Academy will be officially established only after they return.
"I know. I'm here for him."
Xiao Mu waved his hand, and a long and narrow road extended into the fog.
Ghost Douluo was almost in despair. When he almost thought he was going to die here, he suddenly found that the fog was surging to both sides like waves, and a small path appeared under his feet.
The ghosts were overjoyed.
He was not afraid of the appearance of enemies or any accidents. He was only worried that nothing would happen and he would die quietly in the pitch-black fog.
Without any hesitation, Ghost Douluo walked along the path.
He was afraid that if he delayed even a little, the road would disappear.
"This is..."
Ghost Douluo looked up at the fortress that stretched before him, and was so surprised that he was speechless.
There is such a towering fortress in this fog?
"Everyone, I was chased by my enemies and mistakenly came here. I beg for your forgiveness."
Ghost Douluo saw the people on the city wall. These people were selected from the Poyi clan and were responsible for guarding this place.
As a Titled Douluo and an elder of the Spirit Hall, Ghost Douluo is not usually a kind and polite person, but everything he experienced today made him cautious.
The people in this fortress must be no pushovers, as they were able to set up such a magical fog formation that he couldn't even break through.
Guimei has now roughly guessed where he has come to. What kind of force could have such strange methods and be so mysterious?
I actually broke into the Soul Palace's lair?
Ghost Douluo was in a very nervous mood, as he had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den.
Before leaving the Soul Palace, Bibi Dong did not tell him how to treat the Soul Palace, but personally speaking, Guimei had no good feelings towards the Soul Palace before coming to Tiandou City.
You said that there were no good names for you, but you insisted on calling it Soul Hall, which has the same name as the Spirit Hall.
Moreover, the strength of the Soul Palace and its ability to refine elixirs have subtly threatened the status of the Spirit Hall. Although it is unknown why His Holiness the Pope is indifferent, Guimei himself regards the Soul Palace as the future enemy of the Spirit Hall.
"Do you know where this place is?"
When Gui Mei was feeling nervous, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from above. He looked up and saw Xiao Mu.
Now he had no doubts at all, this was the Soul Palace.
"Palace Master Xiao, I participated in the Soul Palace's soul bone auction and bought a soul bone. Do you still remember it?"
When you live under someone's roof, ghosts are particularly nice.
"After I obtained the soul bone, I was coveted by villains and was chased and intercepted all the way. I had no choice but to break into this place. I hope Palace Master Xiao will forgive me."
He felt that the people in the Soul Palace should not know his true identity. He was also a client of the Soul Palace. If he accidentally broke in here, it should not arouse the hostility of the Soul Palace, right?
"Oh? Are you saying that you're being hunted because of your spirit bone?"
The ghost nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, those bastards are not human."
Xiao Mu asked again, "I see you are alone. Don't you have a sect or family to rely on?"
Guimei's mind was working rapidly. It was definitely not possible to say that he was from the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall deliberately gave him such a name. He might have a grudge against the Spirit Hall.
"That's right. I was born a commoner and have been fighting alone in the spirit master world. I have no one to rely on, so I was targeted."
Without a sect or family, it would be impossible to offend the Soul Palace, right?
"You were able to escape the enemy's pursuit by breaking into my Soul Palace's formation. I'm right to say that the Soul Palace owes you a favor, right?"
Guimei's heart skipped a beat.
This Soul Palace is a bit overbearing. They spent a fortune on your soul bone, so wouldn't it be easy for them to protect you? And they're even threatening to repay the favor?
Of course the ghost didn't dare to say that, but said:
"Of course, I am deeply grateful for the Soul Palace's help. I will remember it and will definitely repay the Soul Palace in the future."
"No need." Xiao Mu said.
Guimei just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the next sentence.
"Use yourself to repay my kindness. Join the Soul Palace and serve me. That will be your repayment for saving my life."
Guimei wanted to slap himself in the face. He said he had no sect or family. Couldn't he just talk about an insignificant small sect?
When the ghost hesitated, he suddenly heard Xiao Mu's voice turn cold.
"Why, you don't want to?"
The ghost opened his mouth and said that he was fighting alone just now. It seemed a bit late to change his words now. Otherwise, he could just pretend to be nice and temporarily use the Soul Palace to survive, and then steal away later.
As soon as this idea appeared in Guimei's mind, he rejected it.
The Soul Palace dared to directly recruit him, a person of unknown origin, so there must be corresponding restrictions. The Soul Palace can refine pills to enhance soul power, and maybe it can also refine poisons, or have other methods to prevent betrayal. He didn't dare to make this bet.
"Palace Master Xiao, my abilities are mediocre and I truly do not deserve your respect..."
Before Gui Mei could finish his words, he suddenly felt the thunder element between heaven and earth rapidly condensing, and the powerful force of thunder and lightning condensed above the Soul Palace.
Sizzle~
A bolt of lightning spread out and landed just not far from the ghost.
The powerful force of thunder and lightning made the ghost's hair stand up. Just this one burst of energy made the ghost feel threatened.
The Mist-Locking Soul-Blocking Formation has been guarding the Soul Palace. This Thunder and Fire Prison Formation is the first time it has been used. Xiao Mu is very satisfied with the effect of this attack-type formation.
As the lightning gathered, the lightning attribute in the lightning ball above the Soul Palace actually transformed into a fire attribute, and finally formed a silver flame with flashing lightning.
The ghost swallowed.
What the hell is this? Even the Spirit Hall doesn't have such a powerful formation. How did the Spirit Hall do it?
"Palace Master Xiao, calm down, calm down."
The ghost waved his hands repeatedly, worried that the thing formed by the power of thunder and lightning would fall on him.
Watching from afar, the lightning and fire made his scalp tingle. He didn't dare to try its power. He could feel that his martial soul was restrained by the lightning and fire, and his strength would probably be greatly reduced.
"Those who reject the Soul Palace's kindness are the enemies of the Soul Palace."
Guimei almost cursed out loud.
What kind of bandit logic is this? Is it wrong for others not to accept your kindness?
He said with a bitter face: "I dare not, but... but..."
Guimei didn't dare to say that he was from the Spirit Hall. Whether or not there was any grudge between the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Hall was secondary. The key point was that with the Spirit Hall's domineering style of doing things, if they knew that he had lied and deceived them, they might take action immediately.
"Just what? We in the Soul Palace will avenge our enemies and repay our kindnesses. Are you willing to join the Soul Palace? Just tell me straight up."
Ye Lingling asked softly, "Palace Master, this can't be considered repaying a favor, right? It's us who owed him a favor."
Xiao Mu: "A vengeance must be paid. If someone offends the Soul Palace, they must pay the price. A favor must be repaid. If the Soul Palace does a favor to someone, they must repay it a thousandfold or a hundredfold. Do you understand?"
Ye Lingling: I understand. I understand very well.
Ghost: ...
You said it so loudly, I heard it. How can this be considered repaying a favor?
