Chapter 77: The Arrival of Spirit Hall! If Discovered, It Will Be the Death of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo
Ye Wen had been living in Tian Shui City for almost three and a half years.
The previous year, Tang San and Xiao Wu had also graduated from Notting College.
By that time, it would be time to take Xiao Wu under control.
Ever since Ye Wen had beaten up Yu Xiaogang and Tang San all those years ago, he had already decided to take Xiao Wu. The reason he had let Xiao Wu stay until now was to suppress Tang San, to make him experience the pain of losing everything, including his loved one!
After all, back then, Tang San and Xiao Wu had only known each other for a short while, and their bond was not deep enough. Now, the bond had grown stronger. By taking Xiao Wu now, Tang San would experience unimaginable pain.
When it came to enemies that had to be killed, Ye Wen didn't know what mercy was.
At this moment, Ye Wen was leaving the villa and heading to Tian Shui Academy.
On the streets, a large crowd of people was engaged in a heated conversation about the same thing.
"I don't know who offended Spirit Hall, but I heard that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are mobilizing their forces and searching all over the continent!"
"I heard that too! I also heard that they're coming to Tian Shui City soon!"
"Do you know who they're looking for? What kind of person could have done something to make Spirit Hall start a large-scale manhunt like this?"
"Who knows? But they must have offended someone high-ranking in Spirit Hall."
On the streets, in restaurants, or at street food stalls and beverage shop tables, people were discussing, and the news spread quickly. Ye Wen was walking along the street and happened to overhear the conversation.
"Spirit Hall has indeed found us, but the speed is slower than I expected! They must have gone in the wrong direction before," Ye Wen thought to himself as he heard the conversations around him.
"There's less than a month left before they arrive," he murmured.
The soul beasts that had transformed using their transformation powers were different from ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts. They had powers that wouldn't be detected by humans.
Even Title Douluos wouldn't sense them, and they wouldn't release any soul beast aura.
This had already been confirmed when Ye Wen had fought Tang Hao.
According to the information Spirit Hall had gathered, they only knew that the soul beasts that had transformed in the extreme north would be detectable, but only the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor would be exposed.
However, even for Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor, the chance of exposure was very low because arrogant Title Douluos knew that with their spiritual power, they could directly see through the transformation of a normal 100,000-year-old soul beast. So, one glance was enough to tell whether or not it was a soul beast.
If a Title Douluo couldn't see through the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor, they would arrogantly assume they weren't soul beasts. After all, if a Title Douluo couldn't even see through a freshly transformed soul beast, it was practically impossible.
"Just to be safe, we should still be on guard," Ye Wen muttered to himself, when suddenly, the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor came running towards him with serious expressions.
"Ye Wen, it seems like the people from Spirit Hall have arrived."
"Yes, I've already heard. Don't worry too much, just hide when the time comes. Since we transformed, even Title Douluos can't tell," Ye Wen explained.
"Really?" Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor exchanged a look, feeling relieved.
"Of course."
Just as the three of them were talking, Ye Wen suddenly changed his expression, "Didn't they say it would be almost a month before they arrived? Why are they here now?"
Ye Wen saw two middle-aged men coming around a corner on the street ahead.
Were these two not Spirit Hall's elders, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo?
Ye Wen might not have recognized Ghost Douluo's appearance, but Chrysanthemum Douluo had such a distinct look that it was almost impossible not to recognize him!
Chrysanthemum Douluo, with his golden-blonde hair, wearing an exquisite golden outfit, had a very flamboyant appearance, often holding his fingers in a delicate way, with a slightly androgynous vibe.
This was definitely Chrysanthemum Douluo!
And Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo were very close; whenever they took action, they were almost always together. If Chrysanthemum Douluo was here, it was almost certain that Ghost Douluo was also with him.
"Looks like they deliberately spread false information to lower our guard, saying they would arrive in a month. In reality, they've already arrived and are conducting the manhunt early," Ye Wen speculated.
Before the news reached Tian Shui City, Spirit Hall could have already deployed people at every city gate. The transformed soul beasts, upon hearing the news, would try to flee and be instantly caught by the Soul Masters stationed at the gates.
If they didn't escape and stayed within the city, with the news saying it would be a month before the search, the transformed soul beasts wouldn't be too worried. However, with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo using their spiritual power to probe, they would soon catch the soul beasts.
After all, Title Douluos had powerful spiritual energy, and their probing range was wide enough that even if someone hid in a house, they could still sense it.
As Ye Wen and the others noticed Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, they also noticed them.
"Hmm? Those two girls look about seven years old, don't they, Old Ghost?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked.
"Mm," Ghost Douluo nodded slightly.
"Let's check them out," Chrysanthemum Douluo said, narrowing his eyes.
They originally planned to visit Tian Shui Academy in secret, since it was the day of the new term, and all the students would be gathering in the playground, making it convenient for them to find people.
But now, they decided to check out these three little kids first.
"Stop right there, you three," Chrysanthemum Douluo called out from a distance, and he and Ghost Douluo began walking over, eyeing them.
The faces of Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor showed hostility, and they clenched their fists, feeling noticeably tense.
"Relax, just act natural. They won't be able to tell just by looking," Ye Wen gently held Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor's clenched fists.
Their tense hearts slowly relaxed, and their clenched fists loosened.
Ye Wen smiled inwardly as he approached Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, asking in a clueless manner, "What's the matter? Is something wrong?"
Although Ye Wen acted clueless, in his heart, he had already hidden the intention to kill.
If Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo discovered their true identities as soul beasts, it would be the end for them.
"It's nothing, little friends, do you know the way to Tian Shui Academy?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked in a high-pitched, delicate voice, his fingers forming an elegant gesture.
It seemed like he was just asking for directions.
But as Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged glances, they released powerful spiritual energy and began probing Ye Wen, Snow Emperor, and Ice Emperor with their spiritual powers.
