A Sudden Return Strike!

"Why has that Soul Beast suddenly become so cunning?"

After leaving that unpleasant valley, Yue Guan suddenly had doubts.

Although the previous Soul Beast was also fleeing, it had been running away in a panic. But now, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the other party was deliberately setting obstacles for them, clearly with some ulterior motive.

"No, there's a ghost!"

"What is it?" Gui Mei suddenly turned around.

Yue Guan: "..." He was almost interrupted by his friend.

Yue Guan rolled his eyes at the Gui Mei figure and began to think.

Now that it was dark, to be honest, Yue Guan didn't know where they had gone. He was able to track targets entirely thanks to the characteristics of his Martial Soul, but he couldn't have a full view like a god.

However, he was able to estimate the location through celestial observations and roughly determine the destination of the Soul Beast.

At first, the Soul Beast headed towards the Core Zone, but for some unknown reason, it gave up and chose to take a different route.

Yue Guan had been careless before and hadn't investigated it deeply, but now, as he observed the celestial phenomena at night, he suddenly discovered something that made his eyelids twitch.

The Soul Beast seemed to be running back to the spot where they had left earlier.

It seems that Wei Lin and his group are still there.

He quickly told Bibi Dong about his discovery, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You mean, she launched a surprise attack?"

"Currently, it seems highly likely."

"How dare you!" Bibi Dong was almost laughing in anger, but then her heart tightened.

It has to be said that this was indeed somewhat unexpected for her, but she had no other choice but to speed up.

We can only hope that Wei Lin has already safely led all those kids out.

No, we can't let them lead us by the nose anymore!

Bibi Dong made a decisive decision. "Let's change lanes too!"

Located in the transition zone between the outer and Mixed Zones, the site of the previous battle between the Titled Douluo, Wei Lin and a group of children are still stuck here.

After all, their Soul Hunting wasn't over yet.

Wei Lin believed that the place still retained the aura of the great battle, and that ordinary Soul Beasts dared not approach it, making it the best place to set up camp.

So he led the children to set up tents there and prepare to spend the night.

The camp was quiet, but the scene that had just unfolded stirred different emotions in everyone's hearts.

Wei Lin was contemplating his future. He thought to himself that he was finished this time. He had made such a big mistake at work, and he would definitely be held accountable afterward. Even his older brother, who was the captain of the enforcement team, might not be able to protect him.

The worst part was that the Pope saw it, leaving her with a terrible impression. Forget about making progress in the future, it's hard to say whether she can even stay in Spirit City.

Thinking about this, he exuded a self-pitying aura, making others afraid to approach him.

Several children huddled together, silent, warming themselves by a campfire, munching on the dry rations they had brought with them, each lost in their own thoughts.

Strangely enough, most of the things these people were thinking about were related to the same person.

'Boss is absolutely stunning!' Yan exclaimed excitedly.

Although he knew it was wrong to think this way, and he knew that Zhou You was in danger, just thinking about how his boss dared to fight back against a powerful Titled Douluo made his blood boil and he couldn't calm down at all.

You know, when he made eye contact with that Transformed Soul Beast, he almost peed his pants in fear!

Although Ah Rou did not show any hostility, the Mental Power of a titled level is extremely oppressive to lower-level Soul Masters, and those with weak willpower simply cannot face this mental pressure.

Moreover, the Soft Bone Rabbit itself possesses certain Mental Attributes, and its Mental Power is stronger than that of ordinary Soul Masters.

That innate Mental Power, even without doing anything, can easily control low-level Soul Masters, creating an effect similar to overwhelming them in rank.

As everyone knows, Yan is most susceptible to Charm; he is utterly powerless against it.

In this respect, Xie Yue's performance was not much better. He was also intimidated by the aura emanating from that Soul Beast and dared not move at all.

He felt extremely ashamed afterward, especially compared to Zhou You, whose behavior seemed even more appalling.

At this moment, he lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh, but he was completely unaware of it.

He was unwilling to accept and believe that there was such a huge gap between himself and Zhou You, but he could not refute the facts that had happened before his eyes.

Even though he was used to experiencing setbacks with Zhou You, this time he still suffered an unprecedented blow.

Hu Liena looked at him with some concern, but this time, she couldn't think of any good reasons to comfort her brother, as she herself was deeply shaken.

This led to doubts about his own plans.

Could someone like that, someone who wouldn't yield even to Titled Douluo, really be controlled by her?

Hu Liena's mind was in turmoil. The scene of Zhou You resisting the enemy kept replaying in her mind, and she admitted that she had some respect for him.

Daring to confront enemies far stronger than himself, Zhou You's current Soul Power Level is no matter what; as long as he doesn't perish, he will inevitably rise to the pinnacle of the world in the future.

Thinking this, a slight worry even arose in her heart: what if Zhou You perished at the hands of the enemy before His Holiness the Pope could come to his rescue?

At this moment, she was even afraid to see that kind of future...

Zhang Ping's thoughts, however, were different.

Because she received Golden-Waisted Flying Swallow's memories, she discovered some suspicious points when reviewing the events afterward.

The biggest question is that Zhou You actually went to the dangerous battlefield on his own initiative. Golden-Waisted Flying Swallow originally wanted to stop him, but she couldn't because Zhou You wouldn't listen and insisted on going his own way.

Secondly... the rabbit in the enemy's possession had once appeared near Zhou You.

Zhang Ping's eyes flashed as she silently sorted out the relationships involved.

Later, she specifically asked Wei Lin, who said that the enemy should be a Transformed Soul Beast. As for the rabbit, although he didn't know the specific relationship, he thought it must have a close relationship with that Transformed Soul Beast.

Therefore, Zhang Ping inevitably began to suspect what role Zhou You was playing in all of this.

However, she had also witnessed Zhou You's battle against the Transformed Soul Beast, and thus began to doubt whether she was overthinking things.

Perhaps that rabbit wasn't the same one that was initially with Zhou You; perhaps it doesn't represent anything at all.

But this doesn't explain why Zhou You ran towards the battlefield. Most people in that situation would choose to stay away, right?

She carefully kept this doubt to herself, not daring to reveal it.

Fortunately, she was basically invisible in the group, and no one noticed her unusual behavior.

As the night deepened, the children, seeing Wei Lin's still dejected state, could only sigh, arrange their own night watch duties, and prepare to rest.

However, at that moment, Wei Lin suddenly stood up and instantly appeared in front of the children from where he had been sitting.

"Don't move!" His voice was very serious, which frightened the children so much that they didn't dare to move.

But all was silent. After waiting for a while, Yan couldn't help but ask, "Guards, what happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Lin turned his head sharply and stared straight ahead.

In the darkness, a pair of crimson eyes lit up like lamplight, and a chill instantly enveloped everyone.

The familiar sense of oppression returned, and Yan froze, unable to move.
