The Headstrong Girl Takes Action (Part 1)

The next morning, Zhou Huan got up very early.

Unfortunately, around 11 p. m. last night, Zhou Huan reluctantly went back to her room.

The road ahead is long and arduous.

After washing up, Zhou Huan went out and bought two servings of Mingdu specialty breakfast before returning to the hotel and going to Zhang Lexuan's room to begin their breakfast time as a young couple.

After taking a bite of the Glazed Small Jade Cake, Zhang Lexuan asked, "There's a Tang Sect match today, do you want to go watch?"

Zhou Huan shook his head and said, "Forget it, their opponent today is a reclusive sect called the Famous Sword Sect. They're not that strong, so let's not go watch. We might as well stay in the hotel and lie around like corpses."

Zhang Lexuan was actually used to her boyfriend's strange terms like "lying around like a corpse" and "a shut-in," but staying in the hotel did suit her tastes, so she replied, "Yeah, that's fine."

Being a homebody is quite comfortable.

Just as Zhang Lexuan was thinking this, she suddenly noticed Zhou Huan frowning, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Huan sighed softly, "Alas, this Miss Ye is truly a handful."

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was slightly taken aback, then teased, "What, so early in the morning, you're having breakfast with me, and you're keeping an eye on other girls?"

"Cough cough cough~"

Zhang Lexuan's question nearly made Zhou Huan choke on his milk. Was he that kind of person?

But you can't not keep an eye on that stubborn girl; sure enough, she headed towards the western suburbs of Mingdu early this morning.

Before Zhou Huan could explain anything, Zhang Lexuan picked up a tissue and handed it to him. "I was just joking, why are you so upset?"

After wiping his mouth, Zhou Huan said, "I need to go take a look."

Zhang Lexuan nodded and said, "Go ahead, be careful."

After Zhou Huan hummed in agreement, she quickly left the Mingyue Hotel.

Western suburbs of Mingdu.

The temperature was not high in the early morning, especially in the suburbs, and there was a gentle breeze and the fragrance of grass and trees.

It's truly the best place for a morning run.

However, at that moment, a blonde girl dressed in a yellow outfit was running forward at high speed, completely oblivious to the beauty of the sunny countryside.

The blonde girl, light as a swallow and seemingly flying over the grass, is none other than Ye Guyi and Ye Toutie.

After successfully passing the third round of the preliminary Soul Master Elite Competition last night, Ye Guyi returned to her residence and thought for a long time about what Zhou Huan had said during the day.

She understood that if Zhou Huan's words were true, then it would be very difficult for her to kill the Evil Soul Master in the Soul Engineer Competition. Even if she succeeded in the end, she would most likely die.

However, Ye Guyi quickly remembered that she had received news a few days ago that there seemed to be a stronghold of Evil Soul Master in a village in the western suburbs of Mingdu.

Although the strength of the Evil Soul Master at that stronghold was still unclear, Ye Guyi felt that she could still go and investigate.

If it were merely Soul Sage or Soul Sage lower-level Evil Soul Master, she should be able to kill them in one fell swoop.

She is currently at the Soul Emperor level, and her Holy Angel Martial Soul is the natural counter to Evil Soul Master. Killing Soul Sage Evil Soul Master, even if she is a level above her, is not a problem.

Ye Guyi's plan was that since she couldn't display her Martial Soul and kill Evil Soul Master in the Soul Engineer Competition, she would destroy an Evil Soul Master's stronghold now, which would make her trip to Mingdu worthwhile.

Originally, she planned to kill the Evil Soul Master participating in the Xishui Alliance competition, and then investigate the Evil Soul Master stronghold in the western suburbs of Mingdu, but now she has to move it forward.

According to Zhou Huan, the Xishui Alliance has so many powerful Evil Soul Master in Mingdu City, so there can't possibly be any Titled Douluo or other Evil Soul Master in the western suburbs.

Do they really think Titled Douluo are as common as cabbages, running around everywhere?

Moreover, she's only going to the western suburbs to investigate; she'll just have to act according to the situation, so there shouldn't be any major danger.

If you're really that unlucky and run into Evil Soul Master above the Soul Douluo, just run away immediately.

That's right, that's what Ye Guyi thought.

Therefore, our Ye Toutie girl arrived at the western suburbs of Mingdu early in the morning.

Unlike the bustling Mingdu City, there were actually many ordinary villages of varying sizes in the outskirts of Mingdu.

Beyond prosperity, there is also poverty and backwardness.

This situation is not uncommon even in the powerful Sun Moon Empire.

The dazzling lights and vibrant colors of the city are forever confined to the empire's upper echelons.

Of course, compared to villages in other places, the villages on the outskirts of Mingdu are actually not bad, it just depends on who you are comparing them to.

As Ye Guyi traveled along, she naturally witnessed all of this.

However, she didn't have time to lament these livelihood issues.

About half an hour later, Ye Guyi finally arrived at an ordinary little village called Shijia Village.

From the outside, Shijia Village looks much like any other unremarkable mountain village, except for one thing: a quaint old-fashioned clock Bell Tower.

Upon seeing the Bell Tower, Ye Guyi's gaze sharpened, and her expression became considerably more serious.

In fact, such Bell Tower are not uncommon in the Douluo Continent.

Whether in the Sun Moon Empire or the Original Three Great Empires of Douluo, the Bell Tower is a fairly ordinary structure.

It's unclear when exactly, but Evil Soul Master have developed a penchant for establishing strongholds beneath these Ancient Bell Tower.

Ye Guyi has killed more than one or two Evil Soul Masters. She has been doing this job for more than just a day or two.

Of these, she killed over 60% of the Evil Soul Master within such Ancient Bell Tower.

It's practically the perfect place to rack up points... I mean, to eradicate evil and simultaneously enhance one's strength.

That's right, Ye Guyi's Holy Angel Martial Soul has a unique characteristic: the more Evil Soul Master she kills, the faster her strength increases.

He's practically the best representative of Leveling up by fighting monsters.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Ye Guyi's strength wouldn't improve if she didn't kill Evil Soul Master; it just means that her normal cultivation and leveling up would be slower.

Therefore, upon seeing this Ancient Bell Tower again, coupled with the information she had previously received, Ye Guyi was solemn, but her eyes also held a fierce fighting spirit.

There might be a group of monsters hiding in the Ancient Bell Tower right in front of you!

Hmm, hopefully there aren't any overpowered monsters that we can't handle.

Thinking this to himself, Ye Guyi slowly approached the Ancient Bell Tower.

Inside the Ancient Bell Tower, on the second basement level.

A Thin-faced Youth dressed in black said with a slightly dissatisfied tone, "The Holy Son and the others are living a life of luxury in Mingdu City, while we're stuck doing hard labor underground. What bad luck!"

Another short Big-headed Man an unusually large head replied, "Keep your voice down. If someone with ulterior motives hears you and it gets back to the Holy Son, you're in big trouble. Don't you know what kind of person the Holy Son is? He's the kind of person who would even eat his own partner."

Upon hearing this, the Thin-faced Youth couldn't help but shudder, but quickly regained his composure. "So what if he's ruthless? We're still Headquarters core members of the Holy Spirit Cult at headquarters, and I'm even the Second Elder's subordinate. We're not in the Death Douluo Area right now. Does he think he can kill us for no reason?"

After hearing this, the Big-headed Man looked at the Thin-faced Youth as if he were an idiot. "If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. Would the Second Elder offend the Holy Son for a Holy Spirit Cult like you? Are you out of your mind?"

The Thin-faced Youth chuckled and said, "You don't understand. Let me tell you a secret, the Second Elder is my seventh maternal uncle, and he's incredibly powerful! So what if he's the Holy Son? Even the Holy Son has to respectfully address my seventh maternal uncle as Elder. By the way, don't go around telling others about this. I don't want people to think of me as the kind of person who only relies on connections."

The Big-headed Man's lips twitched visibly. "..."

Do I need to spout nonsense?

Among all the followers of the Holy Spirit Cult, who doesn't know that your seventh maternal uncle is the Second Elder?

Otherwise, how could you have survived ten years of cerebral thrombosis?

Besides, given the Second Elder's temperament, even if you were his relative, he wouldn't offend the Holy Son for your sake.

Who is the Holy Son?

That's someone who could very well become the future Sect Master of the Holy Spirit Cult Sect. Would the Second Elder be as foolish as you?

Besides, if your seventh great-uncle really cared about you, would he have arranged for you to be stationed in this utterly unprofitable place as Holy Cult outpost?

Therefore, the Big-headed Man has become too lazy to pay attention to the Thin-faced Youth.

The Thin-faced Youth, however, clearly had no sense of propriety and continued to ramble on, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I certainly wouldn't say these things in front of the Holy Son. Besides, aren't we the most important people here? Who's afraid of overhearing us?"

Upon hearing this, the Big-headed Man said nothing, only letting out a cold laugh in his heart.

Who is the most foolish person in the world?

The most foolish people are those who are both ignorant and arrogant, who don't even know where they are standing.

If he dies someday, it'll be because he was stupid enough to die.

Therefore, the Big-headed Man was also somewhat annoyed; how did he end up being assigned to be with this idiot?

Just then, with a loud "boom," a powerful aura emanated from the upper level.

The Thin-faced Youth and the Big-headed Man exchanged a glance, then immediately darted upwards.
