"Now, you can make your choice."
Xiao Mu's voice rang out again, and the thunder and fire hanging high above the Soul Palace Fortress suddenly fell down, turning into a cage that tightly covered the ghost inside.
"The fight has begun. It's finally begun."
Outside the fog-locked maze, Tang Xiao and others also saw the dazzling lightning.
Although even the sound was difficult to hear due to the fog-locked maze, they all vaguely felt the power contained in the lightning.
Even Tang Xiao would never dare to easily contend with such power.
"Does the Soul Palace have another Titled Douluo with the Thunder attribute? Or is there some other method?"
Tang Xiao couldn't guess it, but his understanding of the Soul Palace's strength increased significantly.
"Unless necessary, we must not offend the Soul Palace in the future."
Tang Xiao said to the three elders.
The three elders fell silent. When had the Clear Sky Sect ever feared any other power besides the Spirit Hall? And now there was another Spirit Hall.
This feeling of humiliation made them feel mixed emotions.
Is their Haotian Sect in conflict with the forces with the word "soul" and "palace" in their names? Otherwise, why do they always suffer setbacks?
"Master, if we don't offend the Soul Palace, will they still cause trouble for us?"
"this..."
Tang Xiao hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said:
"If it's not a matter of utter destruction, like exterminating a clan, and there's no turning back, and we have a conflict with the Soul Palace over other matters, we should retreat if we can, and endure for a while to keep things peaceful."
The word "forbearance" was once almost completely abandoned by the Haotian Sect, but now, they have to remember this word firmly in their hearts.
"Hey, Sect Master, we understand." said the second elder.
The fourth elder suddenly asked, "Master, do you think our Haotian Sect can ever be great again?"
"Yes, I can."
No matter what Tang Xiao's true thoughts are, the elders must not be allowed to lose their morale at this time.
"Believe me, there will be such a day, and it will not be too late."
"Really? How did you know that, Sect Master?"
Tang Xiao looked like he had everything under control.
"Soul Hall and Spirit Hall will have a battle sooner or later. Judging from the situation, Soul Hall has already taken action against Gui Mei and is likely to kill him."
"And Spirit Hall will never sit idly by and watch something like this happen. As soon as the news gets back, Spirit Hall will be furious and will go to war with Soul Hall."
"By then, one of these two major forces will surely be annihilated, and the remaining force will surely suffer heavy losses. That will be our Haotian Sect's chance to become great again. We might even be able to eliminate both the Spirit Hall and the Soul Hall at once, allowing the Haotian Sect to truly become the number one force in Douluo Continent."
Tang Xiao's inference inspired the third and fourth elders. As expected, the destiny still lies with their Haotian Sect.
The second elder was the oldest and the most emotionally stable. He glanced at Tang Xiao with his old eyes, but didn't say anything.
"Master, should we continue waiting here?" asked the fourth elder.
"No need to wait. Just make sure the Soul Palace and the ghosts have engaged. If we stay here any longer, we might be considered an enemy by the Soul Palace."
After saying that, Tang Xiao turned around and left with the three elders.
They can leave, but ghosts can't.
Faced with the gradually approaching thunder and fire cage, the ghost could already feel the deadly threat before it even came into contact with it.
"Palace Master Xiao, Palace Master, I surrender. I am willing to join the Soul Palace."
The soul will return to the ninth heaven in an instant. No matter how unwilling Gui Mei is, no matter how loyal he is to the Spirit Hall, no matter how reluctant he is to leave his good friend Chrysanthemum Douluo, he has to make a choice.
Being able to cultivate to the level of Titled Douluo, Guimei still cares a lot about his life.
He just joined the Soul Palace, not to go against the Spirit Hall, nor to help the Soul Palace destroy the Spirit Hall. He just wanted to keep his useful body and wait for the future.
This is the only way ghosts can comfort themselves.
"Very good, you made a wise choice."
Xiao Mu clapped his hands.
He snapped his fingers, and the cage of lightning and fire surrounding the ghost instantly dissipated.
Guimei is the most suitable person Xiao Mu has ever seen on Douluo Continent to become a member of the Soul Palace.
He has such a sinister and ghostly aura that if he doesn't join the Soul Palace, it would be a waste of hundreds of years to produce such a talent.
Among the three great celestial masters of the Soul Palace today, Zhan Kaishan is nine feet tall, extremely brave, and full of masculine energy.
Although Yang Ziqi is not as brave as Zhan Kaishan, he is also a hero with strong masculinity.
As for Qian Qiusui, he has a feminine appearance, speaks softly, and does things in a lukewarm manner.
But the gloomy and sinister aura are two different things. After the ghosts joined the Soul Palace, they became the face of the Soul Palace.
If you take it out in the future, it can become a business card of the Soul Palace.
"Come in."
When the thunder and fire cage disappeared, the ghost, whose back was soaked with sweat, felt like he had walked away from the brink of death.
After hearing Xiao Mu's voice, the door of the Soul Palace opened wide the next moment.
The ghost walked towards the gate, struggling, hesitating, and regretting.
He regretted very much that he had taken a gamble and had to rush into this fog. This man must quit gambling.
Once you enter the Soul Palace, it is as deep as the sea, and from then on old friends are just strangers.
Guimei looked back deeply. He had a strong premonition that once he entered this door, it would not be so easy to leave the Soul Palace. Returning to the Spirit Palace might only be something he could realize in his dreams in the future.
"Ah~ah!"
Just as he sighed, Guimei felt a strong wind coming, and the swords in the hands of the giant sculptures on both sides of the gate fell down.
He was in a state of anxiety and failed to notice it immediately. Moreover, there was no fluctuation of soul power when the two giants attacked, which made his reaction slow down.
"My life is over."
The ghost's mind went blank.
Why?
He was puzzled. Hadn't he already agreed to join the Soul Palace? Why did the Palace Master want to kill him?
Suddenly, the ghost heard another snap of fingers.
He raised his head slightly and found that the sword was only an inch away from his head.
"It seems you're not entirely sincere about joining the Soul Palace, but since this is your first time, I'll let you off this time."
Xiao Mu walked down from the tower and said word by word:
"Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely not loyal. It doesn't matter what you were like before. After joining Soul Palace, you must be 100% loyal to Soul Palace. Do you understand?"
Ghost Douluo nodded subconsciously.
But soon, he became too sad to cry.
What the hell is this Soul Palace? Not only are there so many messed up methods, but they are also so unreasonable.
He was forced to join the Soul Palace, could he be 100% loyal right from the start? He was nearly killed at every turn, and for the first time in his life, Ghost Douluo felt his heart so fragile.
What is going on?
I came out to do this errand and put myself in danger. If His Holiness the Pope knew that I had joined other forces, he would definitely not think that I had any reasons.
Betraying the Spirit Hall is a crime punishable by death.
"Palace Master, this subordinate greets you."
After entering the Soul Palace Fortress, Ghost Douluo, who was in a very bitter mood, still bowed to Xiao Mu obediently.
