Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing

He had just come out of the staircase and arrived on the top floor.

Dugu Feng immediately sensed an evil, frenzied aura.

He snapped his head up and saw a powerful man dressed in black standing there, a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth as he watched the spirit fights below.

Suddenly, the man turned back toward Dugu Feng and the others.

As if changing faces, he broke into a hearty laugh. "Dugu Clan Leader, Black Demon has been waiting here for a long time.

The Great Soul Arena has always been controlled by the Seven Great Families with the greatest prestige on the continent. Now that the Defense Clan has withdrawn, my Black Tiger Sect has been recommended by the Holy Dragon Sect and intends to join the Great Soul Arena. During the spirit fights, I hope Dugu Clan Leader will show mercy!"

"The Black Tiger Sect? A sect that isn't even one of the Lower Four Sects wants to wade into these muddy waters too?" Dugu Shuo said with a hint of mockery, utterly disdainful.

The powerful man calling himself Black Demon froze for a moment, but still kept his smile. "It may not be now, but who can say about the future? If the Dugu Family can be magnanimous during the spirit fights, I, Black Demon, will remember it in my heart!"

Black Demon cupped his fists in both hands, his tone carrying a trace of sincerity.

"Does Sect Master Black Demon know what prestige means? Prestige is strength. Without strength, what prestige is there to speak of?

The spirit fights concern family honor. We'll see the truth in the arena!"

Old Snake mocked coldly.

Old Snake was one step away from pointing at Black Demon's nose and cursing him. With no strength, he still wanted a share of the benefits? He really must have lost his mind.

Black Demon could no longer smile. He cupped his fists and left directly.

In his heart, he cursed that the Dugu Family really wouldn't respond to either soft or hard tactics.

If he hadn't been wary of their poison, he would have snapped back no matter what.

"Hmph!" Dugu Shuo let out a cold laugh.

He led Dugu Feng straight into the VIP room.

The room was extremely luxurious, with a dazzling feel. Glazed lamps hung from the ceiling, illuminating the room until it seemed translucent. It was decorated in a Western style.

With a chill on his face, Dugu Shuo sat down on the sofa and said, "Feng'er, do you still remember the information on the Black Tiger Sect?"

Without hesitation, Dugu Feng said, "The Black Tiger Sect is located within the Star Luo Empire. Its strongest member is a Soul Sage, whose Martial Soul is the Black Demon Tiger. It contains the dual attributes of wind and evil. The Black Demon Tiger has a trace of the Bloodline of the divine beast, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The Black Tiger Sect has grudges with the White Tiger Sect and the Star Luo Imperial Family, and has always been suppressed by the Dai Family.

This time, they must have joined Spirit Hall. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the courage to come and compete for the share of benefits left behind by the Clear Sky Sect's withdrawal!"

He knew that the later Black Tiger Sect had indeed become one of the Lower Four Sects, naturally as a result of siding with Spirit Hall.

"There's one point you got wrong. Black Demon's strength has already advanced to Soul Douluo. His increase in strength has given him even greater delusions!"

Dugu Shuo said coldly.

Soul Douluo!

Dugu Feng was Somewhat Surprised. The Black Tiger Sect and the Dai Family, as well as the White Tiger Sect, were mortal enemies.

And since it was located in the Star Luo Empire, the fact that it could survive despite being suppressed year-round showed that this sect had something extraordinary about it.

Its Martial Soul had the dual attributes of evil and wind. The family's previous information showed that Black Demon's cultivation was at Soul Sage, yet now he had actually advanced to Soul Douluo. Among Soul Douluo, his strength was probably not ordinary either. That was Black Demon's confidence.

Bibi Dong really knew how to stir up trouble, Dugu Feng sighed.

On the Heaven Dou side, she had won over an Elephant Armor Sect that was preparing to turn on them at the critical moment. On the Star Luo side, she had subjugated the Black Tiger Sect, wanting to seize another share of the benefits.

Although Bibi Dong was far away in Spirit City, she had done plenty in secret.

"Spirit Hall's newly appointed Pope is not simple. She actually poisoned Xue Ye, and she's also winning over other forces in the Spirit Master World to scheme for the Great Soul Arena. Her ambition is enormous!"

Dugu Shuo said expressionlessly.

The poison in Emperor Xue Ye was the same as the poison in Ge Ying, and the Holy Dragon Sect incident had happened on the road too.

Dugu Shuo had nearly guessed everything.

The only thing he had not guessed was that Xue Qinghe was being impersonated by Qian Renxue.

"Feng'er, after this spirit fight, you and Old Scorpion should leave the family for a while. Go north and temper yourself, while also absorbing your Second Spirit Ring!"

Dugu Shuo looked at Dugu Feng as he spoke.

"Yes, Father!"

Dugu Feng quickly agreed.

He knew very well that this was the Dugu Family's way of survival.

Eggs could not be placed in the same basket.

With poison, the most important thing was deterrence. As long as there was deterrence from the shadows, the family would be very safe.

Besides, Spirit Hall was indeed very powerful, and the family had become a stumbling block for Spirit Hall, so they had no choice but to be cautious.

Bibi Dong, that madwoman—sooner or later, he had to make her taste Tyrant Poison and see whether her spider poison was stronger or his Tyrant Poison was stronger.

After finishing his conversation with his father, Dugu Feng walked out of the room.

A few steps ahead was a railing made of marble blocks. Through the railing.

From here, one could clearly watch the fighting and Gambling Fights in the Great Soul Arena below, enjoying the feeling of standing high above it all.

It was no less impressive than a large stadium on Blue Star. The thrilling roar from below rivaled the scene of a major sporting event.

Dugu Feng had not yet been drawn in by the soul fights below when his attention was first caught by two young girls not far away. They were sitting on a Round Platform, which made for an excellent Viewing Platform.

And they seemed to be talking about his Dugu Family.

Dugu Feng quickly pricked up his ears.

"Zhuqing, the people from the Dugu Family have already arrived. There's a One-Ring Soul Master in their team. According to the Holy Dragon Sect's intelligence, he's the Young Master of the Dugu Family. If you go up, you'll have to fight him.

But it doesn't matter if you lose. The bouts between the Six Great Families use the Defense System.

As long as a family beats the other five families within one Soul Master realm, that's enough. At the Soul Elder realm, no one can compare to me!"

The speaker was a tall young girl. Her figure was extremely voluptuous, absolutely the kind where she would not be able to see her own feet when looking down.

She wore purple leather clothes, with a black belt tied around her waist, perfectly accentuating her figure.

When she spoke, she wore a smile that made others feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Beside her, watching the Great Soul Arena below, was a slightly younger girl wearing similar clothes, only her face was much icier.

But in terms of beauty, that cold, stunning expression did not lose out in the slightest.

"Sister, I won't admit defeat. So what if his poison is powerful? Let's see whether he can release his poison before my attack lands!" Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.

Dugu Feng was startled. These were actually the Zhu sisters.

But judging from their figures, who else could they be?

Even though Zhu Zhuqing was still young, her chest had already begun to develop, rising slightly. Coupled with that icy expression of hers, she seemed even more alluring than her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun.

The Defense System Zhu Zhuyun had just mentioned was the method by which the Six Great Families held soul fights.

In practice, it was more like sparring, and the rules were not that strict.

From Soul Master to Soul Douluo, across eight realms, each family only needed to dominate one realm to maintain its interests in the Great Soul Arena.

Likewise, if a new family wanted to join in, like the Black Demon Sect, it would also need to defeat the Six Great Families in one realm.

There was a great deal of room for going easy on opponents in this.

If there were no major conflicts of interest, it was mostly a matter of sparring and getting a sense of the other side's strength.
