"Indeed. According to my lord, an old man used to accompany that brat whenever he went out.
But not long ago, he was replaced by this maidservant. My lord was also very curious about that maidservant's strength!"
The middle-aged man who had spoken first nodded in agreement.
Having reached a consensus, the two immediately chose to continue following them. They were both professionally trained trackers, and the Soul Guidance Automobile had left obvious tracks.
The two followed those tracks deeper into Sunset Forest, unaware that curiosity killed the cat!
"Heh, they really followed us in!"
A trace of killing intent flashed through Lin Hao's eyes. These two were truly loyal. He had already entered Sunset Forest, yet they still dared to follow him inside!
He was very familiar with the area around Sunset Forest, having come here often lately.
He easily found a relatively secluded spot and had Yan Lingji put away the Soul Guidance Automobile, waiting quietly for the two to arrive!
Less than two minutes after the pair concealed themselves, the two trackers entered right after them, moving quickly.
However, they had not been following the tracks directly. Instead, they had been hiding in the dark and observing the tracks the whole time.
But they suddenly discovered that the tracks had vanished. After waiting for a while and finding nothing unusual, the two immediately revealed themselves and approached the tracks to inspect them.
"Why did the tracks disappear? Where did that brat go?"
The two quickly searched around but found no traces of Lin Hao and Yan Lingji leaving, asking in confusion.
"Let's split up and search. He couldn't have gone far in such a short time. Once we find him, release the signal!"
The signal he spoke of was a relatively weak Soul Guidance signal, received through a device.
"Alright!"
Just as the two were about to split up, they heard a seductive voice behind them.
"No need to go through all that trouble. This humble woman will help you!"
Yan Lingji looked the two of them up and down and spoke amiably.
"Who are you? What kind of people are you? Why are you following us?"
They remained fairly calm and immediately chose to accuse them first!
"Heh, don't you know who we are? You followed us all the way from our doorstep to here. You've got quite some nerve!"
Lin Hao also stepped out, saying with a smile.
"What do you mean, following you? We came here to hunt Soul Beasts. What exactly do you want?"
"Still being stubborn. Lingji, go help them. Don't make it too bloody. Find out who is behind them.
What their purpose in following us was. I just saw a Ghost Wolf nearby. Let them do a good deed afterward!"
Lin Hao waved his hand, then leaped up onto a tree and sat down.
He had not killed them earlier in Heaven Dou City because he did not want to leave the Heaven Dou Empire Royal Family with any leverage.
Besides, he wanted to find out who was behind this. These two were both Soul Emperors, and their strength was not weak. They should know something.
"Understood, Young Master!"
Yan Lingji smiled and nodded. Before the two could resist, she breathed out a cloud of red mist that enveloped them.
The two then seemed to be under control, their eyes vacant as Yan Lingji answered whatever she asked!
After obtaining all the information, Yan Lingji said:
"Go find the Ghost Wolf ahead and feed yourselves to it. Do a good deed. It will be grateful to you!"
"Your seventh Soul Skill is becoming more and more terrifying!"
Lin Hao jumped down and remarked before continuing:
"Salas is even more petty than we imagined. Still, I'm rather surprised that he's one of Qian Daoliu's men!"
"Indeed. And it seems Qian Daoliu does not know Dragon Emperor Crown's true strength. That is rather strange!"
Yan Lingji nodded, and many of her earlier doubts were immediately cleared up.
"The previous Pope, Qian Xunji, set up an array in the Papal Hall that blocked out auras. Apparently, he wanted to do some indescribable things!
After Uncle Long appeared, Bibi Dong probably activated the array immediately, so those people from the Worship Hall did not notice!
Bibi Dong must have had a hand in this as well. She wants to provoke conflict between us and the Worship Hall, then reap the benefits!"
Lin Hao easily guessed Bibi Dong's intentions. All he could say was that she truly was no simple person!
She had probably made this decision the moment Long Xiaoyao appeared in the Papal Hall!
"Qian Daoliu sent Jiang Mo Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo here.
Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo have always remained by Qian Renxue's side.
Spirit Hall's strength in Heaven Dou City cannot be underestimated. We need to be careful!"
Yan Lingji calculated Spirit Hall's arrangements in Heaven Dou City, and the smile on her face faded slightly!
"Don't worry. Bibi Dong is smart, but Qian Daoliu is no fool.
Jiang Mo and Qian Jun's main purpose in coming here should be to protect Qian Renxue, not to fight us!"
Lin Hao shook his head, unconcerned. Qian Daoliu was somewhat old-fashioned and cared greatly about Spirit Hall's reputation!
The reason he had sent Jiang Mo and Qian Jun over was surely because he feared that people from the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association would harm Qian Renxue!
"Still, we can't do nothing. Contact Aunt Cai, Uncle Jin, and Dugu Bo. Have them meet Aunt Lin in Heaven Dou City!"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Hao gave the order. He actually had quite a few Soul Douluos and Soul Saints under his command, and during this time, he had summoned another batch of special lackeys.
But since his resources were not top-tier, he only had six Titled Douluos including Dugu Bo. He was still somewhat short-handed!
Only recently had he learned that the damn system's standards for evaluating the resource grade for summoning special lackeys were downright unfair.
Only treasures at the level of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones could guarantee the summoning of Titled Douluo lackeys!
The reason he had been able to summon a Titled Douluo using the Blue Silver Emperor's remains the first time was because the odds were increased for his first summoning!
Thus, Lin Hao had been hesitating over whether to kill Da Ming and Er Ming. After all, they were the easiest Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts to find!
He had kept them alive before for their Soul Rings, but neither of them was metal-attributed now.
They were incompatible with his Ice Fire Mysterious Dragon Blade martial soul. Keeping them alive was a waste, so he might as well use them to summon lackeys!
What made him hesitate was that if he killed them now, the two 100,000 Year Soul Rings would go to waste.
As for Xiao Wu, Lin Hao had no intention of killing her. After all, they had gotten along well before and could be considered friends. He did not want to become that kind of inhuman villain!
Thinking of this, Lin Hao sat in the passenger seat, his hand resting on Yan Lingji's thigh as he asked the system:
"System, can a 100,000 Year Soul Ring be used as a sacrificial resource?"
