Visitors from Overseas

The moment Sea Horse Douluo and his group arrived in Heaven Dou City, the news was presented to Dugu Bo's desk.

Dugu Bo attached great importance to this group of overseas visitors and immediately summoned Bai He and the others.

The Righteous Unity Sect was originally established based on the Wind, Water, and Fire Families. With the addition of the Three Single-Attribute Clans, the sect now has six Soul Douluo powerhouses besides Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo Soul Douluo.

As the herd mentality continued to accumulate, the Heaven Sword Sect subsequently absorbed some medium and large-sized families. Although these families included many Soul Douluo, they were not founding members of the sect. While they enjoyed the treatment of Elder, they did not participate in the sect's internal decision-making.

Before returning to Spirit City, Azure Luan Douluo had already revealed the whereabouts of Sea Horse Douluo and his group to the Righteous Unity Sect. Dugu Bo and his group held Wu Qi's teacher in high esteem.

Upon learning that Sea God Island would pose a future threat to Wu Qi, Dugu Bo and the others immediately became extremely vigilant.

"Sea God Island, what a long-forgotten name." Yang Wudi sighed softly. "I remember, Tang Chen seemed to have been there back then."

Dugu Bo waved his hand, interrupting, "Elder Yang Wudi, let's not discuss the past of Sea God Island for now. All the Elder have already read the announcement from the Spirit Hall."

"Since Sea God Island is destined to be a threat to Wu Qi, we old fogies should clear the way for him. Everyone, please share your opinions on how to deal with those people on Sea God Island without leaving a trace!"

Bai He stroked his white beard and said, "The announcement from the Spirit Hall states that this group came to Heaven Dou City for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."

"We don't know what the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, but as the National Treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire, it must be an extraordinary item. The fact that a Titled Douluo was sent to personally lead the team shows that Sea God Island values this item highly."

As he spoke, he looked at Dugu Bo: "Sect Master, I don't doubt your strength, but the opponent is also a Titled Douluo powerhouse. Although his strength is greatly reduced on land, for one Titled Douluo to take down another Titled Douluo, he will inevitably have to pay a huge price and cause a great commotion. We will also be in trouble."

"Sect Master, you are the bond that Righteous Unity Sect the entire sect together. The Juyi Sect was founded to cope with the turbulent situation on the continent, so that the various families could band together for mutual support. Moreover, those families joined the sect because of this ideal."

"Without a suitable reason, taking action rashly could easily be seen as betraying the sect's original purpose. Leaving aside external pressures, internal instability alone would be enough to bring down the entire sect."

"Therefore, taking action is a last resort; until a suitable opportunity arises, we would rather let them leave."

Dugu Bo fell into thought.

Since the establishment of the Righteous Unity Sect, he was no longer the passionate person he once was.

A sect is a big family. One cannot put the sect in a state of utter ruin just for one's own momentary pleasure.

Feng Changlin stroked his chin and said, "Sect Master, I understand Elder Bai He's meaning."

"I personally agree with your idea. Since Sea God Island is destined to be a menace, it would be very beneficial for us to remove their henchmen in advance."

"However, we cannot take the initiative, much less hand over any leverage. The situation on the mainland affects everyone's heart; the slightest disturbance could easily place us in the eye of the storm."

"Since we can't take action against those people proactively, why can't we force them to reveal their true colors, so we can then take action against them legally and legitimately?"

"It's like a border war; Two Great Empires have legitimate reasons for their actions, which is why no enlightened individuals have risen up in rebellion within Two Great Empires borders."

Dugu Bo suddenly smiled, "It's a good idea, but it might be a bit troublesome to implement."

They're not Sea Horse Douluo readers; how could they know what the other person is thinking?

Without any prior contact, how easy is it to expose a weakness that could be fatal to Sea Horse Douluo?

Niu Gao said, "Sect Master, why don't we inform the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School?"

"I, Old Niu, think that since those guys are coming for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, they're bound to make contact with the Imperial Family."

"From a normal person's perspective, to get an audience with the Emperor, one would at least need to speak with a powerful minister in the court, right? Without someone to help you in Imperial Court, it's almost impossible to get anything done; that's the unspoken rule of officialdom. Currently, among those favored by His Majesty, only you and Sovereign Ning have a resounding reputation in the Spirit Master world."

"As a Soul Master, I would prefer to deal with fellow Soul Master rather than seek out high-ranking officials in the imperial court."

Feng Changlin couldn't help but praise, "Old Rhino is quite something, he hit the nail on the head."

"Sect Master, that's what I think too. Let's wait and see if they'd rather visit us or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

The Great Ice Plains.

The sparring had been going on for quite some time, and only two minutes remained of the One Incense Stick's time.

During this time, Wu Qi used almost all of his Soul Skill and trump cards to engage in close combat with Hunter, which bought a lot of time. With the continuous replenishment from the "Boundless Sea" Soul Skill, apart from the consumption of energy and physical strength, Wu Qi maintained full Soul Power.

In contrast, Hunter, under his exquisite control of his Soul Power, although he could not replenish his own Soul Power, only consumed 20% of it.

"Each attack demonstrates precise control over the consumption of Soul Power, and the ability to recover excess Soul Power from Soul Skill is truly worthy of being a wisp of Divine Sense from the God of Destruction."

Wu Qi couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

If it were him, it would probably take him Thousand-Year, or even longer, to achieve this.

Without time to think, Wu Qi continued to deal with Hunter's pressure.

The competition has progressed to this point, and there's no reason to give up now. If we can't complete the assessment in one go, Hunter will be on guard next time, and we'll probably struggle to last even One Incense Stick's time, let alone five minutes.

Time ticked away, and with only one minute left, Wu Qi decided to stop fighting and begin to flee, trying to run out of time in the last minute.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Mirror of the Sea!"

By unleashing his Soul Skill to its fullest extent, Wu Qi summoned several mirror images that scattered and fled in all directions.

As the Chenxiang was about to burn out, Qiangu Changkong felt anxious and realized that he should do something.

Similarly, Hunter also faces time pressure.

As a wisp of Divine Sense of the God of Destruction, he would only obey the former's will and would never hold back in a sparring match.

Even as time was running out, he did not let his guard down in the slightest.

The next instant, the Blazing Scepter blazed with intense flames, engulfing everything within a radius of several miles in a terrifying sea of fire.
