As Title Douluo, Gui Mei and Yue Guan were intimately familiar with this.
Once Soul Masters cultivated above level 94, if they wished to continue advancing, they had to comprehend laws.
Take Sword Douluo, for example. He had comprehended the Law of the Sword and broken through to level 96 in one stroke.
Yet this young boy had already come into contact with that level at the age of six.
In other words, he would encounter no bottlenecks in his Soul Power cultivation before level 95.
This sight truly left Gui Mei and Yue Guan green with envy.
At the same time, as the master of the barrier, Chi Xue also sensed Chen Xing's abnormality and immediately sent a voice transmission to Qian Renxue from the shadows.
At that moment, Qian Renxue was handling a mountain of tedious official business. She had been somewhat annoyed, but upon hearing that Chen Xing was about to awaken, she immediately set down the memorial in her hands.
She threw on an outer robe and hurried from Tiantou Imperial Palace toward the Spirit Fighting Arena.
Inside the Spirit Fighting Arena, the vortex gradually shrank as time passed.
The instant it reached a certain critical point, Chen Xing abruptly opened his eyes.
The young man's aura suddenly erupted. Centered on him, a Purple Gold Bamboo Forest unfurled, rapidly spreading and growing wildly.
His originally black hair turned pale purple in an instant, with several streaks of gold mixed within it.
"Old Ghost, move! Chi Xue is on his way."
Yue Guan's effeminate voice rang out. He had arranged petals from the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum throughout the palace, and the moment Chi Xue set out, he sensed something was wrong.
Upon hearing this, Gui Mei did not dare delay for even a moment and instantly vanished from where he stood.
[Third Soul Skill: Ghost Killing Transformation]
With Bibi Dong's absolute order hanging over him, Gui Mei completed his Martial Soul Possession the instant he attacked and activated his only status-enhancing Soul Skill.
The Third Soul Skill granted him a 200% speed increase, along with the ability to fly.
Chen Xing, who had only just awakened, immediately felt a frigid aura rapidly closing in.
Acting on instinct, he swiftly turned around, summoned the Purple Imperial Bamboo into his hand, and slashed at the air with his sword.
Pfft!
The sound of a blade slicing through flesh reached his ears.
But the very next second, he was engulfed by a black shadow.
"Run! There's something strange about this brat."
Gui Mei had originally intended to seize Chen Xing and flee swiftly by relying on his speed advantage. Even if Chi Xue and She Long discovered him, Yue Guan could hold them off for a while.
But he had approached Chen Xing from behind. Just as he was about to touch him, the brat seemed to have eyes on the back of his head.
He turned around and slashed at him directly, and that strike had actually wounded him.
He could only use his Soul Skill to envelop Chen Xing and flee this place as quickly as possible.
"Ju Hua Guan! Cover my retreat!"
Leaving those words behind, Gui Mei shot into the sky, transformed into a streak of black shadow, and disappeared.
At this moment, Porcupinefish Douluo and Qian Renxue finally arrived as well.
From a great distance away, the two of them had already sensed the auras of two Title Douluo.
"Young Mistress! It's Chrysanthemum Elder!"
"The person just now must have been Ghost Elder. He took Chen Xing away!"
There was no need for Chi Xue to explain; Qian Renxue had already grasped the situation.
She looked toward Yue Guan in midair, her eyes blazing with rage.
Bibi Dong! Damn it!
That woman had actually planted spies around her and even stolen her person!
"Are you confident you can catch up to Gui Mei?"
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth as she spoke those words.
Yue Guan had now exposed himself before everyone. Clearly, he was there to cover Gui Mei's retreat.
"This subordinate is incompetent."
Chi Xue lowered his head in shame.
"Holy Maiden, forgive me. This is the Pope's order."
"If we fail to complete the mission, the two of us will be the ones to suffer."
Yue Guan floated in the air, a trace of apology in his tone.
The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul already hovered above his palm. All nine Soul Rings had appeared, and he looked ready to fight at any moment.
He did not wish to become enemies with Qian Renxue. Both sides belonged to Spirit Hall, and the person before him was the Holy Maiden of the Worship Hall.
If they could avoid fighting, he would prefer to resolve matters with words. That was why he had softened his tone from the start.
On Qian Renxue's side, although she could sense Yue Guan's intentions, his effeminate voice made her feel deeply uncomfortable.
"Was it that woman Bibi Dong who sent you?"
Faced with Qian Renxue's question, Yue Guan did not answer.
But that attitude was answer enough.
Suppressing her unwillingness, she fought to restrain the anger in her heart and considered her options.
"Leave immediately. Return to the Worship Hall!"
At this point, saying anything more was meaningless.
Chi Xue could not defeat Yue Guan, and for some reason, She Long had yet to return.
Chen Xing had already been abducted. For now, they could only return to the Worship Hall, inform Qian Daoliu, and let him handle the matter.
All she could do now was pray that that madwoman would not do anything excessive to Chen Xing!
Elsewhere.
Chen Xing felt rather speechless. In just a few days, he had been abducted again and again.
Had he known this would happen, he might as well have continued cultivating in the Blue Silver Forest.
And this time, the one who had come was another Title Douluo...
Within the black mist, shadows surrounded Chen Xing. He could only sense that he was flying through the air, unable to tell which direction they were heading.
After thinking it over, among the Title Douluo on the continent, it seemed only Gui Mei possessed this sort of ability.
"Senior! Are you Ghost Douluo?"
Gui Mei, who was flying, was faintly surprised when he heard Chen Xing speak.
This brat actually recognized him. Could it be that the Holy Maiden had already revealed her identity to him?
Seeing that the man did not speak, Chen Xing opened his mouth again.
"Senior! You're not taking me to see the Pope, are you..."
A bad feeling spread through his heart. At this point in time, Gui Mei had abducted him, been wounded by him, yet did not retaliate. That could only mean it was Bibi Dong's order.
That woman... seemed to still be undergoing the Rakshasa God Trial...
At the thought, Chen Xing involuntarily shrank his neck.
"Senior Ghost Douluo... if you let me go, would it affect you?"
Gui Mei secretly marveled. How could this brat guess everything?
"You know too much. I don't think the Pope will like someone like you."
Those words made Chen Xing's heart sink to the bottom.
Sure enough, it really was that madwoman.
If he fell into Ye Lanyi's hands, he would at least have a chance to escape.
If he fell into Qian Renxue's hands, she would at least treat him amicably.
But if he truly fell into Bibi Dong's hands, his life and death would truly depend on a single thought from her.
The Rakshasa Divine Power was affecting Bibi Dong's mind. If one day she lost control, even the aftershocks would be more than a Soul Elder like him could withstand.
What should I do? Could I escape?
It was at least three thousand kilometers from Heaven Dou City to Spirit City. No matter how fast Gui Mei was, carrying him would still take three days.
If Qian Renxue could catch up during that time, there would still be hope.
But... how could she, a Soul Ancestor, catch up to him...
As he pondered, Gui Mei's Soul Power seemed to be running low, and his speed gradually slowed.
His all-out burst earlier had consumed a great deal of Soul Power. Furthermore, he had been traveling with Soul Power these past few days.
He truly was running short on Soul Power now.
Sure enough, Chen Xing could sense within the black mist that he was slowly descending.
Was this an opportunity?
