Chen Zidian pondered, his footsteps never faltering.

Maintaining the posture of a proud powerhouse, he approached the airspace above the massive encampment.

In the shadows, he had already contacted his hidden companions, the [Fall of the Demon God] from the original records.

Because Lin Feng had unified the Holy Demon Continent, they were now renamed the Special Operations Team, though the members remained the original crew.

Upon receiving the message, they rushed over from the Sunset Forest; should a crisis arise, they would provide rapid support.

"I said it before: next time, it won't be this simple."

"Since you refuse to listen to reason, then suffer a little!"

Chen Zidian stepped through the void, his perception blanketing the entire camp.

Confirming his teammates were in position and feeling fully confident, he continued to execute Lin Feng's plan.

In a flash, he arrived above the inner circle of the camp, not even changing his position, remaining at the exact same spot as last time.

"Sir, please wait!"

At the same time, Ning Fengzhi flew into mid-air.

Entrusting him with such diplomatic tasks was indeed the safest bet.

However, as a support-type soul master with zero combat capability, he naturally dared not come alone.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, like a conjoined twin, followed closely behind, hovering at his side to provide protection.

This way, even if the target refused to communicate, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda paired with the Seven Kill Sword could guarantee absolute safety.

"Which side do you represent?"

Chen Zidian did not recognize Ning Fengzhi at all.

Seeing the man appear, he merely cast a flat glance his way.

Immediately, his attention shifted to Sword Douluo Chen Xin; he could sense a trace of threat from him, the first time he had felt such a thing since invading.

"Uh, this humble one is Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I represent the Heaven Dou Empire and the Upper Three Sects, and I hope to have a proper chat with you. Are you representing Martial Soul Hall?"

Ning Fengzhi was stunned for several seconds, his face twitching.

He never imagined that the other party wouldn't know who he was.

As the most prominent figure among the Upper Three Sects, he was confident he was quite famous.

Ordinary people or even low-to-mid-level soul masters might have an excuse for not knowing him, but surely someone as powerful as this couldn't be ignorant?

In particular, since Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin still mistakenly believed the enemy was from Martial Soul Hall, they felt this was intentional and that the man's attitude was excessively arrogant.

Of course, he still had to probe.

Taking a deep breath, he took the initiative to introduce himself.

Finally, he asked a specific question, wanting to see how the other party would react.

"Martial Soul Hall? Heh, believe whatever you wish."

Chen Zidian's expression turned peculiar; he realized instantly that the man before him had misunderstood.

Naturally, he wouldn't clear up the confusion; instead, he spoke vaguely, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

If he could hoodwink this fellow and lead his train of thought completely astray, it would only benefit the Holy Demon Federation.

At this moment, Chen Zidian did not realize that the true elders and patrons of Martial Soul Hall were already planning to step in and clarify the situation.

But until then, Ning Fengzhi's misunderstanding only deepened, as he felt this attitude was merely an attempt to cover up the truth.

"What exactly does Martial Soul Hall want? Are you attempting to incite a war?"

"Could you tell me, how are Bone Douluo and Poison Douluo faring at the moment?"

Ning Fengzhi didn't care about the rest and continued to press, but the next second, he sensed an energy fluctuation.

Instantly, he retreated through the air behind Chen Xin; the two coordinated perfectly, immediately entering a defensive state.

Not far away, Chen Zidian couldn't be bothered to speak further; his goal was to attract attention, and mere words wouldn't suffice.

He had to provide a substantial lesson to leave a deep impression, thereby locking all their focus onto the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"It seems you have no intention of reconciling."

Ning Fengzhi sighed, though he wasn't actually surprised.

He only regretted not being able to glean information about Gu Rong and Dugu Bo.

He also prepared for battle, the radiance of his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shining to form a protective barrier.

At the same time, several light rings shot out rapidly, layering themselves onto Chen Xin to provide a comprehensive boost.

Facing an enemy of equal or greater strength, there was no time to observe the situation leisurely, let alone hope for a quick resolution.

A thunderous boom erupted from deep within the camp below, accompanied by a faint sigh; blue lightning crackled and exploded as Yu Yuanzhen also flew up.

They formed a pincer formation, surrounding Chen Zidian in the center.

Yu Yuanzhen did not want to fight, but given the current situation, he had no choice.

"So, only the two of you are making a move? Do the others intend to launch a sneak attack?"

Chen Zidian remained utterly fearless, laughing heartily as he exposed the Martial Soul Hall experts lying in wait with a single sentence.

Inside the camp, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, frowned, suddenly struck by an extremely ominous premonition.

Even Sword Douluo Chen Xin had failed to detect the four hidden individuals, yet this fellow before them had seen through it with such ease?

Judging from this alone, it was evident that the opponent's strength was formidable, likely even higher than previously estimated.

However, Qian Renxue remained calm, not allowing Thousand Jun, Falling Devil, and the others to rush out and assist just yet.

At the very least, she would let the two Title Douluo of the Heaven Dou Empire test the opponent's methods first and exhaust some of his "soul power."

"What do you mean by that?"

Ning Fengzhi felt a vague sense of unease.

"Eh? You aren't all together?"

His reaction actually surprised Chen Zidian, though it did not interrupt his predetermined actions.

Just as Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were bracing themselves, expecting a fierce strike, and were poised for battle.

Suddenly, they saw Chen Zidian raise his hand, the golden Holy Sword gripped in his palm, repeating that same slashing motion.

They were unfamiliar with this move, but Meng, hiding below with his Divine Calculations, was far too familiar with it and could not stop himself from cursing aloud.

What was going on? This skill again?

Sword Douluo was already face-to-face with him; shouldn't this be a battle between experts?

Why, for no reason at all, was he unleashing large-scale destruction again? Was he compelled to cast it?

The shimmering Holy Light Meteor Shower condensed rapidly, just as it had last time, falling straight toward the camp's perimeter.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were stunned, while Yu Yuanzhen's eyelids twitched repeatedly; they all felt a sense of disrespect.

Immediately, the two Title Douluo experts launched their attacks in a tacit, angry agreement, flanking from left and right with lethal intent!

Had Chen Zidian accepted the challenge, the sky and earth would surely have darkened, yet to everyone's surprise, he simply flickered and retreated.

"My apologies, dueling you is not today's mission; let's talk about it next time."

Chen Zidian was never a reckless man; on the contrary, he was accustomed to prioritizing his mission with a highly focused objective.

To destroy Sunset Camp, cause a certain amount of casualties and commotion, and draw the attention of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The mission entrusted to him by Lin Feng had just been successfully completed, so why take the risk of fighting several powerhouses?

His proactive withdrawal caused the attacks of Chen Xin and Yu Yuanzhen to miss, and he flew leisurely and rapidly into the distance, preparing to vanish into the forest immediately.

Yet at that very moment, four massive surges of soul power leaped up simultaneously from four directions, pointing directly at Chen Zidian, erupting with fierce and aggressive momentum.

Clearly, this was at the command of Qian Renxue.

The Martial Soul Hall Guardians could finally no longer resist intervening.

Having finally caught an expert from a mysterious faction, how could they let him leave so easily?

"Your Excellency has caused such a massive disturbance; to think you could just leave so nonchalantly—isn't that a bit too arrogant..."
