Ambush Outside Soto City

Qian Renxue and Tai Yi spent some time traveling before finally arriving outside Soto City.

Upon reaching the forest outside the city, just as the two were preparing to continue their journey and enter, a telepathic message from Qian Daoliu suddenly echoed in their minds:

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Xue, there are many auras hidden in the forest ahead. Those factions have likely chosen to ambush you here, so you must be careful and look after your own safety."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue and Tai Yi naturally nodded.

As the carriage continued forward, just as it passed a large tree, a fierce claw strike descended from above, aimed directly at their carriage.

Fortunately, the two elders, Qianjun Douluo and Xiangmo Douluo, had been watching from the shadows. In that split second, they summoned their Coiled Dragon Staffs to block the attack above the carriage.

They then immediately charged toward the source of the strike.

Seeing this, Zhu Lingtian and Dai Yu emerged from the tree, controlling their martial soul fusion skill, the Nether White Tiger, to confront the two elders head-on.

Seeing Qianjun and Xiangmo before him, Zhu Lingtian knew clearly that he was no match for them.

Therefore, Zhu Lingtian spoke up:

"Friends in hiding, come out. If we work together to hold these two off, we can eliminate Qian Renxue and Tai Yi."

Zhu Lingtian had naturally sensed other auras nearby. Everyone had felt each other's presence while setting the ambush, but since their goals were aligned, they had not exposed one another, all waiting in concealment.

As Zhu Lingtian's words fell, Ning Fengzhi and his party emerged. Yu Yuanzhen, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were naturally pleased; after all, they had gained two temporary allies.

Once everyone had revealed themselves, the scene was surrounded by four Title Douluo, six Soul Douluo, and countless Soul Saints, all encircling Qianjun, Xiangmo, and the carriage of Qian Renxue and Tai Yi.

Seeing this, Tai Yi stepped out of the carriage and remarked:

"I didn't expect everyone to show up. The only one missing is the Clear Sky Sect, I suppose."

Following Tai Yi's words, Qian Renxue stepped out from the carriage as well.

The two were now exposed to the gazes of Ning Fengzhi and the others. Title Douluo like Yu Yuanzhen naturally discerned their soul power levels, and they couldn't help but sigh inwardly: As expected, a Soul Emperor and a Soul Saint. If we don't eliminate them now, what future will there be for us?

Seeing that Tai Yi and the others remained calm despite being trapped, and observing the composed expressions of Qianjun and Xiangmo, Ning Fengzhi sensed that the situation was not as simple as it seemed.

He sent a telepathic message to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo:

"If anything seems wrong, take me away immediately."

Hearing this, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi and gave a slight nod.

At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen spoke up:

"Why waste words with them? Let's strike now, Sect Master Ning."

With that, Yu Yuanzhen completed his martial soul avatar, ready to attack. Seeing this, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo instantly followed suit.

Realizing the fight was beginning, Ning Fengzhi summoned his Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, providing buffs to Yu Yuanzhen, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and the martial soul fusion skill of Zhu Lingtian and his wife.

Empowered by the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, these individuals began their assault on the two Title Douluo.

Qianjun and Xiangmo naturally fought back. As level-96 Super Douluo, they were not afraid of this group and engaged them in a direct confrontation.

For a time, the battle was evenly matched, but given the numerical disadvantage, Qianjun and Xiangmo were eventually suppressed.

Seeing this, the Golden Crocodile Douluo emerged from the shadows and addressed Qianjun and Xiangmo:

"Old Six, Old Seven, you are truly disappointing. You can't even handle these few?"

Hearing this, the two elders replied:

"Second Elder, stop with the sarcasm and come help us."

As they spoke, Golden Crocodile Douluo completed his martial soul avatar. His Golden Crocodile King, bolstered by a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, exuded an immense sense of oppression.

Seeing the Second Elder of the Elder Palace appear, Ning Fengzhi thought to himself: If Qian Daoliu is in Spirit City, then the two protectors of Qian Renxue and Tai Yi must have both arrived.

Ning Fengzhi then spoke:

"Second Master Yu Luomian, we will entangle Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qianjun Douluo, and Xiangmo Douluo. Qian Renxue and Tai Yi are left to you."

Without further ado, Ning Fengzhi continued to support the Title Douluo, urging them to attack the three elders.

Yu Luomian then turned to the Soul Douluo and Soul Saints beside him:

"Let's move."

He took the lead, summoning his martial soul and charging toward Qian Renxue and Tai Yi.

Watching them approach, Qian Renxue and Tai Yi exchanged a glance, and Tai Yi said:

"Xue'er, let's test our own skills."

Qian Renxue nodded. Although she had sparred within Spirit Hall since reaching the Soul Saint level, she had never engaged in a life-or-death struggle like this.

However, just as they were about to move, they heard a voice:

"Two-Level Stasis Domain!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei had chosen to intervene the moment Yu Luomian and the others charged. Without wasting words, they activated their martial soul fusion skill, freezing everyone who intended to harm Qian Renxue and Tai Yi.

In the next second, the two, having summoned their martial souls, began a slaughter among the frozen crowd.

Soon, those individuals lost their lives amidst a chorus of screams.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi and the others were stunned. They had not expected Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to be by the side of Qian Renxue and Tai Yi. Aren't these two Bibi Dong's right-hand men? Why are they here?

Ning Fengzhi already harbored thoughts of escape, as his calculations showed there was no longer any hope of eliminating Qian Renxue and Tai Yi.

Meanwhile, Shadow, who had been sent by Bibi Dong, witnessed the scene and muttered to himself:

"These two traitors have truly betrayed the Master. Once I eliminate Tai Yi and cripple Qian Renxue, I will return and have the Master deal with them."
