Departure! The Flying Soul Tool, Sky-Guarding Shuttle!

Inside the main hall, everyone was shaken upon hearing what Lin Shu had announced.

After all.

Langya Hall was one of the continent's foremost powers.

It ranked among the continent's Lower Seven Sects, a true colossal force.

Across the entire Eastern Martial Region, few forces could compare with it. It could even be said that only Heavenly Star Academy ranked higher than it among the continent's major powers.

The Glazed Sect and Blade Sect beneath it were both inferior to it.

At today's auction, they had also witnessed just the tip of the iceberg of the Langya Sect and Blade Sect.

Though neither had revealed its true foundations, it had already been enough to leave them utterly astonished.

Yet now, the Guild Master intended to head directly to the Central Martial Region, the heart of the continent, wage war against Langya Hall, destroy it, and then seize its territory. Was that not far too rash?

The Fifth Elder spoke up:

"Guild Master, although you currently have more than thirty Title Douluos at your side, you still need to leave five behind. That means only a little over thirty Title Douluos will accompany you!"

"Although Langya Hall does not have that many Title Douluos, it has operated in Langya Prefecture for no less than a thousand years. Nearly everyone there could be considered affiliated with Langya Hall."

"In terms of high-end combat power, the forces at your side are sufficient, Guild Master. But they are too much like a castle in the air. On their own territory, Langya Hall can instantly mobilize tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of troops against you!"

"Coupled with the soul masters Langya Hall itself possesses, I fear they will not be so easy to deal with!"

"In my opinion, Guild Master, you should gather the people from the Langya Auction House headquarters and all its branches!"

"Our Langya Auction House is spread throughout the Land of Barbarian Martial Hundred Cities and has nearly a hundred branches. We can also mobilize quite a few soul masters. Though they would be vastly outmatched by Langya Hall's soul master forces, they could still hold them back for a while. While they keep the enemy occupied, Guild Master, you can have the Title Douluos deal with Langya Hall's high-end combat power first. That may make success easier to achieve!"

Naturally, Lin Shu understood the Fifth Elder's reasoning.

However, while there was nothing wrong with what he said, putting it into practice would be extraordinarily difficult.

He had overlooked one point. Traveling from the Land of Barbarian Martial Hundred Cities to Langya Prefecture in the Central Martial Region was not merely a matter of hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of miles.

The continent was vast, with its five regions spread across its five directions. Each region spanned hundreds of thousands of miles.

Taking the soul master forces from the Langya Auction House's various branches there would be far too difficult.

The issue of supplies and logistics along the way alone would be an impossible problem to solve.

This was not one of the novels he had read in his previous life before transmigrating, where people could casually teleport across vast distances.

The Fifth Elder had tried to dissuade him only because he did not understand Lin Shu's true foundations.

He did not have merely thirty Title Douluos. Even after leaving five behind, he still had over two hundred and ninety Title Douluos.

With such power, there was no need to fear even if Langya Hall gathered tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers.

On this continent, soul masters ultimately reigned supreme. While armies of ordinary people could indeed restrain some soul masters through sheer numbers, that only applied to ordinary soul masters.

Trying to stop Title Douluos was simply too far-fetched.

Any soul skill unleashed by a Title Douluo would leave corpses strewn across the ground.

Moreover, the Fifth Elder had been wrong about one other thing.

When Lin Shu and his group set out, the remaining Title Douluos had yet to be summoned. With only twenty or thirty people traveling, they would not draw attention.

If they brought a soul master force with them, however, the target would be large and easily noticed. Then the enemy would have time to prepare in advance.

But with only twenty or thirty people, their target would be small. If they traveled quietly, Langya Hall would have a difficult time detecting them. By the time they reached the place where Langya Hall's sect was located, even if Langya Hall realized what was happening and tried to mobilize its army, it would already be too late.

At that point, Lin Shu could summon the remaining Title Douluos and use thunderous methods to wipe out Langya Hall.

Once Langya Hall was destroyed, the rest would be nothing but a rabble, incapable of gathering together at all.

"Enough. I have already considered this matter. There is no need to mention it again!"

Seeing that Lin Shu had made up his mind, the Fifth Elder said no more.

However, he was not worried.

With so many Title Douluos under his command, even if they failed to destroy Langya Hall and the enemy launched a fierce counterattack, they could still leave at any time under the protection of thirty Title Douluos.

Langya Hall would not dare pursue them forcefully either. If it did, its ordinary army would be unable to keep up. If only Langya Hall's soul masters gave chase, then against thirty Title Douluos, it would not be a pursuit at all—it would be sending themselves to their deaths.

Since they could advance or retreat as they pleased, the Fifth Elder stopped trying to persuade him.

Even if the Guild Master suffered a setback and returned here later, it would not be a problem. He would still be the overlord of the Land of Barbarian Martial Hundred Cities, perhaps even one of the Eastern Martial Region's top powers.

After announcing his decision, Lin Shu left behind five Title Douluos and set out directly.

The journey to the Central Martial Region was long. Even though Title Douluos could fly through the air.

Even Lin Shu, with his current fifty-ninth level Soul Power, could briefly walk through the air if he used his Soul Power properly.

It had to be said that the use of Soul Power in this world had developed to an extreme degree.

A Soul King with fifty-ninth level Soul Power could briefly walk on air. That was truly astonishing.

However, for a Soul King with fifty-ninth level Soul Power, walking through the air consumed an enormous amount of Soul Power. It was impossible to remain airborne for long like a Title Douluo.

Fortunately, among the items from his previous ninety draws, Lin Shu had happened to see a soul tool.

Though this soul tool had not reached Ninth Grade, it had still attained Eighth Grade.

It was an Eighth Grade soul tool: the Sky-Guarding Shuttle.

It was a Flying Soul Tool that could carry people through the air once infused with Soul Power.

Moreover, the Sky-Guarding Shuttle was equipped with Soul Power cannons.

However, Lin Shu felt they were of little use.

It was ultimately only an Eighth Grade soul tool. Even if a Title Douluo supplied the Soul Power for its cannons, they could only fire blasts capable of threatening Soul Douluos.

With so many Title Douluos under his command, Lin Shu naturally had no need for such Soul Power cannons.

Still, its ability to carry people through the air truly solved Lin Shu's problem of traveling long distances.

When controlled by a Title Douluo, the Sky-Guarding Shuttle could carry passengers at the speed of sound.

Even a distance of a hundred thousand miles could be covered within two days at the Sky-Guarding Shuttle's speed.

After leaving Langya City, Lin Shu immediately took out the Sky-Guarding Shuttle.

The Sky-Guarding Shuttle was over ten zhang long and three zhang wide, with enough room inside to accommodate several hundred people.

Lin Shu's group of around thirty people could naturally fit inside with ease.

When Lin Ye, the Guardian Elder, saw the item appear, he was greatly shocked.

"Young Master, you actually possess such a treasure!"

"I have heard that the continent's top powers possess Flying Soul Tools capable of covering fifty thousand miles a day!"

"With this Flying Soul Tool, reaching Langya Hall will definitely take no more than three days!"

"This will save us a great deal of travel time!"

Lin Shu did not explain anything. He merely said:

"Since Uncle Lin Ye has heard of it, I will leave the task of controlling the Sky-Guarding Shuttle to you. If your Soul Power runs low, just have any one of the Title Douluos here take over for you!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

Lin Ye readily agreed. Judging by his smile, he seemed extremely interested in the Sky-Guarding Shuttle.

Suddenly, Lin Shu seemed to recall something and spoke again.

"Oh, right. The route to the Central Martial Region happens to pass through Stone Gate. We can stop by Stone Gate and take a look!"

Lin Ye quickly understood what he meant.

"Young Master, do you suspect Stone Gate was involved in that incident?"

Lin Shu shook his head.

"I don't know. But since it is on the way, we will naturally find out by asking."
