Dai Mubai: Damn! You're Back!

"Looking for trouble? Who?" Ye Hua raised an eyebrow slightly.

"The Lower Four Sects," Ning Rongrong said angrily, "the Holy Dragon Sect, the Black Tiger Sect, and the Wind Sword Sect —all three came together!"

"The leader of the group is the Grand Elder, and all of them are Soul Douluo. Behind them are more than a dozen Personal Disciple disciples at the Soul Emperor level. It's quite a grand procession!"

"If Grandpa Jian hadn't arrived in time, they would have been incredibly arrogant!"

"Are you alright?" Ye Hua asked them with concern.

Ning Rongrong shook her head, "It's alright, didn't you leave behind some Soul Saint?"

"They ran to the city lord's mansion first, but were surrounded and brutally beaten by the Soul Saint. After Grandpa Sword arrived, they behaved themselves."

Ye Hua looked at Chen Xin, who spoke calmly, "Fengzhi received your letter, asking me to help investigate the rumors. He inadvertently realized they would cause trouble, so he sent me."

"The timing is impeccable," Ye Hua sneered. "What excuse did they come up with?"

Ning Rongrong pouted, "They say your Soul Spirit System is unstable, and spreading it rashly would bring disaster to the country and its people, so they want to come and argue with them."

Ye Hua scoffed after hearing this, "A scourge to the country and its people?"

"It's nothing more than this system; it's taking away their interests and making it impossible for them to look down on ordinary Soul Master."

"They talk about the well-being of all people, but in their hearts, they're only concerned with their own interests!"

Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously, "That's right!"

Just as Ye Hua was about to reply, his gaze inadvertently drifted towards Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing's cat ears drooped, and her tail hung listlessly.

"Zhu Qing, what's wrong?"

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated, as if she wanted to speak.

Xiao Wu was the first to raise her hand. "Brother! The one causing trouble this time is an old acquaintance!"

"Dai Mubai! He puts on a bigger show than anyone else!"

Ye Hua was taken aback and turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, her voice filled with utter exhaustion, "He's not dead yet..."

"Logically speaking, Dai Weisi's momentum in seizing the throne is already established, so he should have been dealt with long ago."

Zhu Zhuqing bit her lower lip. "I don't understand, what gives him the right to stand here?"

Ye Hua was silent for a moment, then said, "In the Far North Forest, I heard from Dai Weisi that there were rumors circulating in the Heaven Dou Empire, and he can't escape involvement, can he?"

"You're not just uninvolved!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed angrily, "He's the one who released them!"

Ye Hua nodded. "Let's go, let's go meet them."

Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy, Reception Room.

They've been staying here ever since they were besieged by the Soul Saint.

The Soul Saint patrolled outside to prevent them from causing trouble.

When Ye Hua pushed open the door and entered, Dai Mubai was sitting with his legs crossed, holding a cup of tea, looking quite relaxed and self-satisfied.

Hearing the door open, he instinctively looked up, nearly dropping the teacup.

"Ye... Ye Hua?!" Tea spilled on his knees, scalding him and making him wince. "Weren't you in the Far North Forest fighting that monster?"

Ye Hua leisurely stepped across the threshold and casually pulled over a chair to sit down.

He rested his chin on his hand, his gaze sweeping around as if he were watching an amusing monkey.

"The Third Prince Dai is indeed well-informed; he even knows about my affairs in the Far North Forest."

"It seems that although you're avoiding Dai Weisi, you've still managed to set up plenty of informants."

Dai Mubai's face turned pale and then flushed, his lips moved, but he couldn't find the words to reply.

What could he say?

Is it true that he only made this happen because of the 40,000 Gold Soul Coin given to him by Tang San?

Wouldn't that make him look even more incompetent?

But he didn't expect Ye Hua to return so quickly!

"Now, we can only hope that Tang San won't break his promise!"

"After you destroy Ye Hua's Soul Spirit System, immediately send me to the Clear Sky Sect to hide!"

Dai Mubai took a deep breath, wanting to say something harsh, but his legs were too stiff to move!

Ma Hongjun is finished, Yu Xiaogang is finished, Tang San is short of testicles, and he doesn't want to be without testicles!

Fortunately, the old man beside him slowly got up.

He was tall and strong, with white hair and beard, and his hawk-like eyes shone brightly. He wore a golden dragon robe and a deep purple robe.

It was none other than Tuo Ba Chuo, the Grand Elder of the Holy Dragon Sect!

Tuo Ba Chuo flicked his sleeves and cupped his hands towards Ye Hua: "Night Alliance Leader Ye, you flatter me. His Highness the Third Prince is also concerned about the safety of the continent."

"Our journey is for the sake of all living beings; we have no ill intentions whatsoever!"

"Night Alliance Leader Ye is upright and principled, and surely he will not turn down our good intentions because of a little misunderstanding!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Ning Rongrong snapped. "They came all high and mighty!"

"If it weren't for Grandpa Jian's arrival, how could they have behaved themselves!"

Tuo Ba Chuo's smile froze.

But considering she was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, he couldn't retort.

"Haha, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

"We apologize for this misunderstanding. Let's talk about the common people first!"

Ye Hua saw him trying to save face and gave a half-smile.

Tuo Ba Chuo once again adopted a compassionate and merciful demeanor.

"Night Alliance Leader, while the Soul Spirit System is novel, it has not been tested over time. If it is implemented rashly and problems arise, it will be the Soul Master who suffer."

"As pillars of the Soul Master community, we cannot stand idly by."

"Yes," the Black Tiger Clan's eldest tiger chimed in, "Soul possession, that sounds like some kind of sorcery!"

"If Soul Beast were to devour its host one day, who would bear the responsibility?"

Wind Sword Sect, the Grand Elder of the Feng Chang and said, "Night Alliance Leader Ye, I advise you to take smaller steps and be more cautious!"

[bite--]

[Host detected to have been provoked, triggering a temporary mission]

[Task Name: Beat Him Up]

[Mission Objective: Give them a good beating, and let the Soul Spirit gloat a bit.]

[Task Reward: Soul Tool Technology Textbook (contains information on several Soul Tool below level 5, which can be studied independently)]

[Mission Description: Welfare Bureau]

A textbook on Soul Tool? That's not bad either.

Activating the Soul Tool technology tree will make it easier to conquer the Abyss.

Ye Hua tilted his head, looking at them with a serious expression.

"I have long admired your broad-mindedness and concern for the world."

"I led my men in the Far North Forest to resist the invasion of another world, where are you?"

"On the contrary, taking advantage of the absence of the Night Alliance Leader, they come to cause trouble. They are truly a model of righteousness!"

Tuo Ba Chuo's smile faltered.

"Furthermore," Ye Hua stood up and slowly walked to Tuo Ba Chuo, "Aren't you afraid that the Soul Spirit System will make it easier for commoner Soul Master to obtain high-limit Soul Ring and challenge your sect's authority?"

"You're scared, you're anxious, so you're throwing a tantrum while I'm not here!"

Tuo Ba Chuo's face was grim. "Night Alliance Leader Ye, please..."

"Hmm?!" Tie Xiong released his aura.

"Please don't be angry!"

His lips twitched.

Damn it, this must be the strongest member of the Long Night Alliance!

Despite his extraordinary strength, why does he obey Ye Hua's orders?

"Night Alliance Leader, we truly had no such intention; you have misunderstood us!"

"Why don't you send your students who absorb Soul Spirit, and we'll send our Personal Disciple disciples to have a friendly competition? We'll then see who's better and who's worse."

"I believe that with your character, you would never bully or oppress a small sect like ours!"

Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly.

You constantly spout about morality and righteousness, how can your Holy Dragon Sect possibly produce saints!

but...

Ye Hua's eyes darted around, and a smile played at the corners of his mouth.

"Sure, you don't mind if I invite someone to watch the game, do you?"

"Huh?" Tuo Ba Chuo surprised and quickly said, "Please, go ahead!"

He never expected that Ye Hua would actually dare to accept!

Keep in mind, their direct Personal Disciple are all Soul Emperor!

Some of them were even in their thirties, seasoned veterans with extensive combat experience!

Ye Hua's students were only teenagers; although they were elites from the Soul Master Tournament, they were still quite inexperienced.

He didn't believe they would really lose!

"How about we go for best of five?" Tuo Ba Chuo pressed his advantage.

"No problem," Ye Hua said with a smile.

Upon seeing his smile, the three Elder suddenly experienced a violent twitching of their right eyelids!

"But as challengers, shouldn't you at least show some sincerity?"
