Ambushed by an Evil Spirit Master, Xue Qinghe!

Three months later, Zhou Tao emerged from seclusion.

"Finally, I've reached Soul Power Rank 20."

"Blue Silver Emperor Auntie, it's time to go find the Lightning Devouring Savage Bear."

He placed Ah Yin into his Soul Tool and set off for Sunset Forest.

As soon as Zhou Tao left the city, he leaped into the air.

As he flew, blue-gold currents wrapped around his entire body. Empowered by the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone's Spirit Skill, he sped toward Sunset Forest.

However, while traveling, he suddenly discovered several Spirit Masters fighting each other on the ground.

"In broad daylight, right outside Heaven Dou Imperial City, someone is actually robbing people?"

Several young Spirit Masters, their faces filled with terror, ran toward an ornate carriage stopped on the road. Behind them, a young Spirit Master dressed in black was hunting them down.

These young Spirit Masters looked like academy students who had come here for training. Their luxurious clothing showed that they were no ordinary people; they looked like nobles.

As for that young Spirit Master, his entire presence was sinister, and his methods were vicious. He did not look like a proper Spirit Master.

Even though this was near Sunset Forest, it was still enough to astonish Zhou Tao.

As an educated young man from the twenty-first century, Zhou Tao would not stand idly by.

Besides, he had a flying Spirit Skill and could come and go as he pleased. If he saved them, it might count as a lucky opportunity.

What if one of these young Spirit Masters had some powerful figure backing them? Wouldn't that give him a connection?

Perhaps he might have a chance to enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Zhou Tao knew this place was far from simple.

Sunset Forest was mostly where the nobles of Heaven Dou Imperial City came to hunt. These young Spirit Masters dared to come here, so they definitely had extraordinary backgrounds.

He landed directly atop a nearby tree and watched the battle from afar.

The Evil Spirit Master sprayed out streams of white spiderwebs, scattering toward the young Spirit Masters like flowers cast by a celestial maiden.

The overwhelming white webs swept over them, instantly wrapping up seven or eight young Spirit Masters and leaving them unable to move.

The next moment, long spider legs emerged from the Evil Spirit Master's body like sharp awls, stabbing toward the young Spirit Masters.

"Help!"

"Someone save us!"

Cries for help rang out.

Seeing this, Zhou Tao could no longer merely watch. Although this Evil Spirit Master looked powerful, he could not simply stand aside.

The next moment, a fist-sized golden Lightning Ball descended from the sky and smashed into the Evil Spirit Master's back.

Meanwhile, three people sat inside the luxurious, elegant carriage, which was pure white from top to bottom. They had also noticed the Evil Spirit Master.

"Your Highness, there seems to be an Evil Spirit Master causing trouble ahead!"

Inside the luxurious carriage, over five meters long, a handsome young man dressed in an exquisite white robe raised his head and looked forward in surprise.

Ten meters away, a group of young Spirit Masters was fleeing toward the carriage in panic. Behind them stood a gloomy-faced Spirit Master dressed in black.

His methods were vicious. Several poisonous spikes extended behind him, stabbing toward the young Spirit Masters.

"An Evil Spirit Master? Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Snake Lance to deal with him."

As soon as Xue Qinghe finished speaking, Snake Lance Douluo behind him immediately moved to take action.

A trace of surprise flickered in Xue Qinghe's eyes.

Sunset Forest lay right at the foot of Heaven Dou Imperial City and was watched by countless Spirit Masters.

Evil Spirit Masters were wicked Spirit Masters who enjoyed plundering the lives, Soul Power, and souls of others. They were regarded as public enemies by the entire Douluo Empire.

Generally speaking, Evil Spirit Masters did not dare commit evil openly, much less in Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Yet today, such a strange incident had happened.

Xue Qinghe could not help wondering whether there was some unspeakable secret behind this incident.

Could it be a political assassination?

Xue Qinghe had received a complete political education since childhood and understood brutal political struggles inside and out.

He himself was also an expert at politics. Faced with such a bizarre incident, he quickly made the connection.

However, if the other party was targeting him, that would be laughable.

He had Snake Lance and Pufferfish, two Titled Douluo, by his side.

Although this Evil Spirit Master was fairly strong, he could not possibly be a match for a Titled Douluo.

No matter what schemes the other party had, Snake Lance Douluo would give him a thorough beating and uncover the mastermind behind it.

In the span of a flash, he had completed his analysis, then promptly lost interest.

Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, a sudden sight instantly caught his attention.

A handsome youth descended from the sky.

He tossed one terrifying golden Lightning Ball after another, smashing them toward the Evil Spirit Master's back.

Rumble!

Bowl-sized bloody holes exploded across the Evil Spirit Master's body.

The two swiftly began fighting.

Seeing this, Snake Lance Douluo, who had been about to kill the Evil Spirit Master, stopped and watched the suddenly appearing youth with vigilance.

"Your Highness, this person's origins are unknown. Shall I capture him and question him?"

Snake Lance Douluo had seen many similar scenes.

Sending someone to launch an attack, then stepping in righteously to save the day and use the chance to curry favor with the Crown Prince?

That trick was far too old. He saw through it at a glance.

Before his absolute strength, no matter how this person schemed, he would not escape his interrogation.

However, Xue Qinghe shook his head. "No need. This person appeared so suddenly, so he must have something to rely on. He may not necessarily be someone with ill intent."

Xue Qinghe had just noticed that this person was using lightning-attribute Spirit Skills.

Moreover, his Martial Soul was an ordinary plant-type Martial Soul.

A plant-type Martial Soul with lightning attributes was far too rare.

It had almost never appeared on Douluo Continent.

Nor had it appeared in any noble family.

Clearly, this person's lightning-attribute Martial Soul was extraordinarily valuable, and Xue Qinghe's curiosity was immediately piqued.

"This person's Martial Soul is somewhat special. If he has any outstanding abilities, he may be worth associating with."

"If he does not show hostility, then do not make an enemy of him."

Xue Qinghe spoke calmly, but his eyes remained fixed on the person's battle.

Clearly, Zhou Tao's sudden appearance had thrown everyone into surprise.

Although the other party had appeared abruptly, Xue Qinghe had always liked recruiting talented people and became interested in him.

Meanwhile, after Zhou Tao used several Lightning Balls to severely injure the Evil Spirit Master, he suddenly unleashed the Lightning Blue Silver Spear. The spear struck straight through the Evil Spirit Master's chest, ending his sinful life.

"Evil Spirit Masters are public enemies of the continent. They deserve to die!"

Zhou Tong cursed, then walked over to the young Spirit Masters and untied them one by one.

He was rather curious about what kind of blind boxes these people might yield.

If he happened to meet a benefactor who could recommend him to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, this trip would have been more than worthwhile.

Zhou Tao was not doing this entirely out of charity. He had a few private motives as well.
