After scanning the crowd, he did not feel as happy as he had imagined.
There were only seven people left on the scene, including those who were severely injured, and among these seven, the three most important people he was most worried about were missing.
Indeed, Xu Tianyao and the Hongchen siblings from Mingde Hall were not in the relay station.
After finishing off the Evil Soul Masters on the scene, he questioned every remaining member of the Sun Moon Empire, hoping to learn the whereabouts of Xu Tianyao and the Hongchen siblings.
Finally, from the mouth of a severely injured student, he learned that their Prince Ming had been taken to the top floor, where he had been ambushed and had been locked in a bitter battle ever since, his life or death unknown.
The Hongchen siblings had gone to the top floor to support Prince Ming as soon as they broke free from the battle.
No one knew the specific situation of the battle now; they were also trapped on this floor, barely able to protect themselves with their Soul Tools, and were completely unable to break away to help.
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo's face changed drastically: How is this possible? I flew in from the outside, and there was no one on the top floor at all.
Could it be?
"Not good!" Qian Duoduo exclaimed, then rushed out with a speed rarely seen in his life.
This was the situation he feared most; if they were killed, there would at least be a result, and they could still give an explanation to the Sun Moon Empire.
But once they were abducted by the Evil Soul Masters, it would be troublesome, not to mention whether they could survive.
Even if they survived, they would certainly be tormented or even modified by that group of Evil Soul Masters.
By then, they would not only have to face such a peerlessly talented Evil Soul Master.
They would even have to face the endless fury of the Sun Moon Empire.
After all, a dignified member of the royal family had been humiliated under their protection and had fallen into becoming a common enemy of Soul Masters; this was a consequence that he, Qian Duoduo, could not bear, and the academy could not bear either!
In a valley several miles away from the relay station, the situation was not as bad as Qian Duoduo had imagined.
This valley, originally silent, was now filled with goose-feather snow and gusts of wild wind.
Led by an Evil Soul Master at the Soul Emperor level, two other Evil Soul Masters at the Soul King level stood by his side.
They were lost in this wind and snow, struggling against the onslaught of the storm every single moment.
"Damn it! Didn't the intelligence say that guy was at most a Soul Ancestor? How could a Soul Ancestor have a hundred-thousand-year soul ring? How was the intelligence gathered!"
The Soul Emperor-level Evil Soul Master cursed with an ugly expression, having fought all the way from the relay station to this valley.
The more he fought, the more he realized that this kid's combat power was terrifying, bringing him countless surprises.
And just a moment ago, this kid had given him the biggest shock yet.
He actually possessed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring! When that blood-red soul ring slowly rose from his body.
Under the illumination of the bright moonlight in the sky, the bright moon behind him emitted an unprecedented radiance.
This was followed by a loud, piercing cry, and then, with the bright moon behind him as the center, an ice-cold storm erupted throughout the valley.
They could not find their way out, and they even had to spend most of their Soul Power just to resist the freezing wind and snow.
And this was the first soul skill of Xu Tianyao's Moon Martial Soul—Bright Moon Storm Domain!
On the other side of the valley.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen stood side by side on a protruding ice rock.
The wind and snow howled across the sky, whipping their clothes violently.
Yet at this moment, they seemed unable to feel the cold, their eyes locked firmly on the figure standing atop the ice mountain in the distance.
To be precise, they were locked onto the soul ring emitting an eerie red light on his body.
That touch of red appeared particularly glaring under the reflection of the bright moonlight.
It was as if a blood moon were hanging high between heaven and earth.
Xiao Hongchen's eyes widened, his face full of shock.
Even with his arrogant and conceited personality, he had completely lost his usual composure at this moment.
"A... a hundred-thousand-year soul ring?" he whispered tremblingly.
"How is this possible..."
"He is only a Soul Elder!"
That was a supreme treasure that countless Douluo dreamed of.
Every powerhouse on the entire continent who possessed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring stood at the very pinnacle.
But now, a Soul Elder's first soul ring was a hundred-thousand-year one!
This scene almost completely shattered the understanding he had built over the past twenty years.
And in his mind, everything that had just happened could not help but surface.
Just a short while ago.
After the siblings shook off the Evil Soul Masters in the relay station, they rushed toward the top floor immediately.
Although Xiao Hongchen had always found Xu Tianyao an eyesore.
But he knew even better that if Xu Tianyao truly died here, the entire Sun Moon Empire would be shaken to its core.
Furthermore...
That guy was his own sister's future fiancé! The Hongchen Family, including Mingde Hall, was already deeply bound to him, sharing the same honor and disgrace!
For both public and private reasons, he could not sit idly by.
However, before they could even locate Xu Tianyao, two other Evil Soul Masters at the Soul King level, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, suddenly lunged out to block their path.
By that time, the brother and sister had already endured a series of fierce battles within the post station.
Their soul guidance shields were on the verge of collapse, and the reserve Soul Power in their Milk Bottles had been completely exhausted.
Facing two Soul Kings at their peak, they had almost no chance of victory.
In less than a few minutes, the siblings were driven into a desperate situation.
Meng Hongchen's pretty face turned deathly pale, and Xiao Hongchen was knocked back more than ten meters by a single blow, blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.
For the first time, the shadow of death loomed over their hearts with such clarity.
Just then, a golden streak of light suddenly tore through the night sky!
It was as if a sun had fallen to the mortal realm.
The blinding golden light instantly illuminated the entire valley.
Xiao Hongchen hadn't even had time to see what was happening.
A high-pitched, majestic cry rang out in his ears.
A sacred and scorching aura swept across the surroundings.
The next moment, two brilliant beams of golden divine light swept outward.
Those two Evil Soul Master Soul Kings, who had been arrogant just a moment ago, were sent flying backward like kites with broken strings.
Their bodies slammed heavily into the mountainside.
Rumble! Large amounts of rubble tumbled down, burying them, and the entire valley shook violently.
The figure bathed in golden light finally revealed itself slowly.
Golden battle armor covered his entire body, and divine flames rose behind him, as if a deity had descended—who else could it be but Xu Tianyao?
Thinking of this, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but gasp.
However, compared to what happened next, that stunning strike from just a moment ago seemed insignificant.
He watched as Xu Tianyao slowly dissipated the manifestation of his Sunlight Martial Soul.
The golden divine radiance behind him gradually receded.
Replacing it, a bright and mysterious moon slowly rose.
Silver moonlight spilled over the world, echoing the bright moon in the sky.
Then, above the Bright Moon Martial Soul behind Xu Tianyao, a soul ring as scarlet as blood slowly emerged.
When that flash of red light entered their vision, both Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen fell into a brief stupor.
A hundred-thousand-year soul ring! And it was his first soul ring at that!
Immediately following, that bright moon bloomed with unprecedented radiance, and a clear phoenix cry once again resounded through the heavens and earth.
