"Elders, it seems we arrived too late."
Hu Liena looked at the already deserted battlefield, her heart full of regret.
This was a battle between Titled Douluo. One might not encounter such a sight even once in a lifetime.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei swept their eyes over the battlefield. After exchanging a glance, they nodded.
They had once followed Qian Xunji into battle against Tang Hao, and they knew very well that only the Clear Sky Hammer could cause such devastation.
Then who was the other person?
Just then, an unusual sound came from a hidden corner.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei instantly looked over.
Before that person could flee, Gui Mei's Martial Soul had already captured him.
A ghostly hand seized the person in the corner and dragged him before them.
That person was Bu Le, the one who had drugged Tang San earlier.
While searching for men for Tang San, he had witnessed the terrifying battle in the streets.
Frightened out of his wits, he had quickly found a corner to hide in.
His Martial Soul, Heavenly Gauze Twin Covers, could conceal his aura and was highly suited for sneaking about at night.
Once the battle ended, he had wanted to leave, but the arrival of Hu Liena and the others stopped him.
Hu Liena's enticing figure and flawless face, along with the Demon Fox Martial Soul's innate Charm, especially captivated him.
He had been so mesmerized that he made a noise and exposed his whereabouts.
"We are elders of Spirit Hall."
"What were you sneaking around here for? Did you see who was fighting here just now?"
Yue Guan stood with one hand behind his back and took out an Elder Token to prove his identity.
The moment Bu Le saw the token, he was badly frightened.
Those qualified to possess an Elder Token were all renowned experts of the continent, at the very least Titled Douluo.
Facing such experts, he hurriedly knelt and repeatedly kowtowed.
"Grandfathers, please spare me. I'll tell you anything you want to know."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance. Were they really that frightening?
Hu Liena stepped forward, pink light flashing through her eyes.
This was the Charm ability of her Martial Soul.
"Tell me, who was fighting here just now~"
"Who else was present?"
"If you tell me, there'll be a reward~"
With Hu Liena's current Soul Power, Bu Le fell under her control at once.
Unconsciously, he revealed everything he had seen and heard.
"The ones fighting were Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao and the Qin Family's Young Master Qin Jiuxiao."
"They seemed to have fought over something. In the end, Tang Hao was defeated and fled."
"Afterward, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sword and Bone Douluo, two Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall, and Poison Douluo arrived one after another."
"They seemed to have reached some sort of agreement. Some went after Tang Hao, while others spoke with Young Master Qin. In the end, they all left."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei both sucked in a cold breath.
They knew Tang Hao's combat strength. Back when he had just reached Rank 90, he had already been able to fight several Titled Douluo.
After all these years, his strength must have improved greatly.
To fight Tang Hao and defeat him, this so-called Young Master Qin had to be at least a Rank 95 Super Douluo.
Yet neither of them could recall any Super Douluo with the surname Qin.
Yue Guan frowned and asked:
"Which Your Excellency is this Young Master Qin from the Qin Family? What is his full name?"
"Young Master Qin isn't some Your Excellency. He's the Soto City Lord's son, a genius with Innate Full Soul Power. He's only twelve this year."
Hearing Bu Le's explanation, Yue Guan's face immediately darkened.
With a swift slap, he struck Bu Le across the face and snapped him awake.
"Do you take this old man for a three-year-old child?"
"What twelve-year-old boy can fight a Titled Douluo!"
"He awakened his Martial Soul only six years ago. Even with Innate Full Soul Power, if he advanced ten ranks every year, he would only be Rank 70."
"If you're looking to die, this old man can grant your wish directly."
Golden petal-like blades floated at Yue Guan's fingertips, their edges glinting coldly.
Hu Liena stood frozen as well.
A twelve-year-old fighting a Titled Douluo? How was that possible?
Before coming here, she had boldly declared before Bibi Dong that no one among the younger generation could surpass her, nor could anyone defeat Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
And now the slap to her face had come so quickly!
Seeing Yue Guan's fury, Bu Le was filled with terror and began slapping his own face repeatedly.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
The sounds echoed through the empty street.
He kept kowtowing, even smashing his forehead until it bled. Snot and tears streamed down his face, but he did not care.
"My lords, I truly did not deceive you! I saw all of this with my own eyes!"
"There were other Titled Douluo present at the time. They saw it too."
"You can ask them!"
Seeing that Bu Le did not appear to be lying, Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged another glance, their expressions gradually turning grim.
If it was not a lie, then this was truly horrifying.
They had worked bitterly for so many years to cultivate to the realm of Titled Douluo, while someone else could achieve it at twelve.
If such a monstrous genius truly existed, his talent was likely even more terrifying than that young master from Worship Hall.
A future God Level expert, without a doubt!
And such a monster was actually on the Heaven Dou Empire's side.
This was not good news for Spirit Hall.
"Damn it, are the Spirit Hall stewards around here all dead?"
"Such important information, and they didn't send back even the slightest word!"
"Looks like their lives have been too comfortable, and they've wasted all their time sucking up to others."
Yue Guan sneered and gave Gui Mei a look.
Their years as partners had given them perfect mutual understanding. Even without speaking, they could understand each other's intentions.
"I'll go find Old Poison. Saintess, sorry for the trouble, but go learn more about that Young Master Qin from the Qin Family. Even if you find him, don't expose yourself yet. Old Ghost, follow the direction he pointed in and look for Tang Hao's trail. It seems some of Spirit Hall's elders went with them as well."
With that, Yue Guan shot into the sky.
Hu Liena nodded and agreed.
Leaving aside her duty as Spirit Hall's Saintess, she was now intensely curious about Qin Jiuxiao.
Was he truly as powerful as Bu Le had described?
Bibi Dong had brought her back to Spirit Hall when she was young, and all the geniuses she had ever met came from Spirit City.
Among them, the most outstanding man was none other than her brother, Xie Yue.
Yet now she was being told that there was a man on this continent more outstanding than her brother, and one so young at that.
What girl would not want to meet such a gifted young man?
If possible, perhaps she could try to recruit him into Spirit Hall.
And if he happened to be handsome, perhaps something might even happen between them.
A seductive smile curved Hu Liena's lips.
"Elder Ghost, I'll go investigate Young Master Qin first as well."
As she spoke, she turned and left.
Very quickly, only Ghost Douluo and Bu Le remained.
"M... my lord, I've already told you everything I know. May I leave now?"
Bu Le asked cautiously.
Ghost Douluo did not answer. He turned and walked away, seemingly having no intention of paying attention to him.
Bu Le let out a sigh of relief. It seemed he had survived.
The danger he had encountered today was greater than all the danger he had faced in his entire life.
"When I get back, I'll tell Tian Ya and Old Goose about what happened today. I can brag about this for the rest of my life."
"I'll reward myself by staying away from the brothel for one day!"
Bu Le laughed.
Just as he turned around, a black ghostly shadow reached out from behind and covered his mouth.
Under his terrified gaze, his body slowly sank into the ground.
A few seconds later, the ghostly shadow vanished.
It was as though no one had ever been here.
