I Don't Think the Myriad Souls Elder You Speak Of Can Keep Me Here

After hearing Yan Feng refer to the newcomer as the Myriad Souls Elder, Ye Guyi's expression instantly darkened, as though a layer of frost had settled over her face.

Jiang Nannan looked at the enormous black banner floating in the air ahead. Feeling the terrifying pressure it emitted, her face turned slightly pale, and she could not help asking in a low voice, "Sister Guyi, who is this person?"

Ye Guyi let out a soft breath, forcing herself to calm down before explaining quietly, "When my mother was still alive, she told me about some of the major figures in the Holy Spirit Cult. The Myriad Souls Elder was one of them. He is one of the Holy Spirit Cult's elders, a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse. His martial soul is the Myriad Souls Banner. It is said that the banner seals tens of thousands of resentful souls, making it incredibly powerful."

Upon hearing the words "Titled Douluo," Jiang Nannan's face instantly turned even paler, and even her lips lost their color.

She had never imagined that a simple journey home would bring them face-to-face with an evil soul master at the level of a Titled Douluo.

Their luck was truly beyond words.

Under the girls' watchful eyes, an old man clad in black robes slowly emerged from the darkness.

His body was gaunt, his face shriveled, and his skin resembled dried tree bark. A dim green light flickered in his cloudy eyes.

He emanated a cold, damp aura, as though he had just crawled out of a grave.

He looked at Jiang Nannan and Ye Guyi below, then at Li Changqing, who had risen from the rubble. His eyes were filled with excitement and delight.

He bared his yellow-black teeth and let out a laugh like a night owl's screech. "Who would have thought it? What a harvest this is! To run into two peerless beauties and two geniuses with sacred martial souls at once! Hahahahaha! This trip was well worth it!"

"You say that as if you can take us away."

A calm voice rang out.

Li Changqing rose from the ruins, brushing dust and broken stones from his body. He calmly stared at the Myriad Souls Douluo ahead, without the slightest trace of fear or panic on his face.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it was only the Myriad Souls Douluo, not that human trafficker Zhongli Wu.

If Zhongli Wu himself had come, they probably really would have died here today.

Jiang Nannan and Ye Guyi hurried to Li Changqing's side, standing on either side of him. Ye Guyi asked anxiously, "What do we do?"

Without turning around, Li Changqing kept his gaze fixed on the Myriad Souls Douluo. His voice was low and rapid. "I'll hold him off. Find a way to leave."

The moment they heard that, both girls became anxious.

"What will you do if we leave?" Ye Guyi's voice was filled with obvious worry and objection.

"How can you possibly defeat a Titled Douluo by yourself?" Jiang Nannan was so anxious that she was nearly in tears.

"You leave first. Once you're gone, I'll find a chance to get away."

Li Changqing's tone remained calm, but it carried an unquestionable resolve. "If you stay here, I won't be able to fight freely."

With that, he gave them no chance to argue. His eyes sharpened, and he charged straight at the Myriad Souls Douluo!

The Myriad Souls Douluo was momentarily stunned.

Then he let out a disdainful sneer. "What nerve! A mere Soul King actually dares to come at me on his own? You truly do not know your limits!"

He fiercely swung the Myriad Souls Banner in his hand.

In an instant, countless black resentful souls surged from the banner, letting out shrill wails and ghostly howls as they blotted out the sky and pounced toward Li Changqing!

Those resentful souls had ferocious faces and flailed their claws, carrying dense hatred and deathly energy as though they wished to tear Li Changqing into pieces.

Li Changqing rapidly formed seals with both hands.

The next moment, countless rays of golden light erupted from within his body.

The Heavenly Profound and Earthly Yellow Exquisite Pagoda appeared once more, transforming into the phantom of a massive golden pagoda that enveloped him.

The resentful souls slammed into the pagoda, releasing wave after wave of piercing shrieks.

Golden light and black resentment corroded one another, erupting with violent energy fluctuations.

Watching this scene, Jiang Nannan was frantic with worry. She turned to Ye Guyi, her voice trembling with tears. "Sister Guyi, what do we do? Should we leave?"

Ye Guyi clenched her teeth, her hands balled into fists so tightly that her nails nearly dug into her palms.

Looking at Li Changqing's fierce battle with the Myriad Souls Douluo, she struggled inwardly for several seconds before finally making her decision.

"Go!"

She grabbed Jiang Nannan's arm, her voice filled with pain and resolve. "We can't stay here and become a burden to him!"

With that, the golden angel wings behind her abruptly spread open. Carrying Jiang Nannan, she shot into the sky and raced into the distance!

Yan Feng and the other evil soul masters immediately moved to pursue and intercept them.

However, just as they were about to act, a streak of golden light stretched across their path like an insurmountable chasm, blocking them all.

"You should come at me together. I don't think the Myriad Souls Elder you keep talking about can keep me here!"

Li Changqing sneered, glancing at Yan Feng and the others.

The next instant, his fourth soul ring lit up. "Fourth Soul Skill, Profound Yellow Nine Heavens Suppression!"

As his words fell, the Heavenly Profound and Earthly Yellow Exquisite Pagoda erupted with an unprecedented dazzling brilliance.

The golden pagoda phantom suddenly expanded to dozens of meters in height. Countless profound runes flowed endlessly across its surface, emanating a vast pressure that seemed capable of suppressing all heavens and worlds.

Golden light poured down like substance, enveloping everything within several hundred meters.

Under the illumination of that golden light, the resentful souls that had been baring their fangs and claws let out miserable screams as though they had encountered their natural nemesis.

Thick black smoke began rising from their bodies as they were forcibly purified into nothingness.

For the first time, the Myriad Souls Douluo's expression changed.

He could actually feel a genuine threat and suppression from that pressure!

How was that possible?

He was a Titled Douluo!

His opponent was merely a Soul King!

A Soul King suppressing a Titled Douluo?

Was that even something a human could do?

The Myriad Souls Douluo's heart churned with stormy waves.

Yet his shock quickly turned into even fiercer greed.

This brat definitely possessed some great secret!

If he could capture him and force out that secret, perhaps he could use it to break through his bottleneck and reach an even higher realm!

At that thought, he stopped holding back. He violently waved the Myriad Souls Banner and shouted, "Stop standing around watching! Hurry up and capture those two girls as well! Don't let a single one get away! It would be a waste to let even one escape!"

His voice exploded through the air like thunder, echoing across the entire battlefield.

Hearing those words, Ye Guyi and Jiang Nannan, who had already flown several hundred meters away, both felt a powerful sense of unease rise in their hearts.

They instinctively turned back to look...

At that moment, a terrifying force descended from the sky without warning!

It came too fast and too suddenly. Before either of them could react, they were ruthlessly struck by an invisible force.

Like kites with their strings cut, they plummeted from the sky and crashed heavily onto the ground. They rolled several times before finally stopping, dust flying everywhere.

"Puh!"

Ye Guyi and Jiang Nannan both spat out blood, their faces instantly turning deathly pale.

They struggled to raise their heads and looked toward the sky, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Above them in the night sky, another black figure had appeared at some unknown moment.
