Meanwhile.
As the Heavenly Screen's voice spread across the continent, all the Soul Masters went wild.
In Soul Master towns everywhere.
Those who had been watching and waiting rushed out of town.
"Where is the Qingchuan Mountain Range?"
"Who has a map? I'll pay ten Gold Soul Coins!"
"Don't go to White Tiger Canyon! Spirit Hall has already occupied it!"
"The Vermilion Bird is at Crimson Flame Volcano. Ordinary Soul Masters can't even get close to the lava!"
"Then let's go to the Qingchuan Mountain Range!"
Countless maps sold out.
The horses and carriages in towns along the way were also requisitioned by the various Soul Master factions in an extremely short time.
Even some Soul Masters with only Soul Elder or Soul Ancestor cultivation joined the crowds.
Of course, they knew that their strength made it impossible for them to kill a two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.
But as long as the Four Holy Beasts had not fallen, anyone had a chance!
Even if they could not snatch a Soul Ring, they might still pick up other benefits.
People of every level of strength would harbor hopes of getting lucky.
What if... that good fortune really landed on them?
Then a barnyard chicken could become a phoenix, and a salted fish could turn its fortunes around!
Perhaps their luck would erupt at just that moment!
A two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast fighting a large number of Titled Douluos.
Just the things dropped on the battlefield might benefit an ordinary Soul Master for a lifetime!
Besides, there was only one Soul Beast.
The more Soul Masters joined the siege, the less likely the weak ones were to be targeted.
With these hopes of getting lucky, vast numbers of Soul Masters swarmed toward the locations of the Four Holy Beasts.
However, White Tiger Canyon was already occupied by Spirit Hall.
Pope Bibi Dong personally led a large group of powerful fighters in besieging the White Tiger.
Any Soul Masters who did not belong to Spirit Hall would be treated as enemies as soon as they approached the canyon.
Unless they were Titled Douluos, it would be difficult to fight their way inside.
A great many would probably die before they even saw the White Tiger.
And Crimson Flame Volcano, where the Vermilion Bird was, was even more dangerous.
The volcano erupted year-round, and the ground could split open at any moment, unleashing torrents of lava.
Let alone entering the volcano to fight the Vermilion Bird.
Low-level Soul Masters could not even approach the crater!
The Black Tortoise's location went without saying.
Sea God Island lay far from the continent, and ordinary Soul Masters did not even know which direction it was in.
Even if they had ships to sail out to sea.
The Sea Soul Beasts and storms along the way would be enough to bury the vast majority of them at sea!
As a result, the Azure Dragon in the Qingchuan Mountain Range naturally became the target of the vast majority of Soul Masters.
The Qingchuan Mountain Range could be reached by land.
And the Azure Dragon lived in an upstream river bend.
There was no need to enter the deep sea, jump into lava, or force their way through Spirit Hall's blockade.
No matter how they looked at it, it was the easiest of the Four Holy Beasts to approach!
Within a short time.
Countless groups of Soul Masters had already appeared on the roads leading toward the eastern part of the continent.
The Lower Four Sects, the various Soul Master clans, small and medium-sized sects, and vast numbers of Soul Masters who were merely registered with Spirit Hall and belonged to no faction were all on the move!
Of course.
The vast majority of Soul Masters were far from the Qingchuan Mountain Range.
Even traveling day and night without stopping, they would need quite some time to arrive.
Only Titled Douluo-level powerhouses could truly cross vast stretches of land in a short time!
High in the sky.
A golden streak of light swept past at an unimaginable speed.
The six wings on Qian Daoliu's back were fully spread.
Before the Soul Masters in the towns along his route could even make out his figure, the golden light had already vanished over the horizon.
He had only one destination.
White Tiger Canyon!
Bibi Dong had already attacked the White Tiger, and she might successfully kill it before long.
It was hard to imagine how much stronger Bibi Dong would become after obtaining a two-hundred-thousand-year White Tiger Soul Ring!
Qian Daoliu would never allow that to happen so easily.
Farther behind him.
Qian Jun Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo were also traveling at full speed.
They could not match Qian Daoliu's speed, but the speed of Titled Douluos was still far beyond that of ordinary Soul Masters.
On another road.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was leading several Soul Douluos and an elite team of Soul Masters from the Worship Hall swiftly toward the Qingchuan Mountain Range.
If he had set out alone, he could have traveled a little faster.
But this time, they were not merely searching for the Azure Dragon.
They also had to face the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the two great empires, and countless Soul Masters across the continent.
No matter how strong one person was, he could not stop everyone at once!
Thus, Golden Crocodile Douluo could only lead his team onward as quickly as possible.
This also limited his speed.
"My lord, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan should have already entered the Qingchuan Mountain Range."
A Soul Douluo held a communication Soul Tool and a map in his hands.
"They're the closest to the Azure Dragon."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression did not change at all.
"Being close doesn't mean they can kill the Azure Dragon."
"Have everyone pick up the pace!"
"At our speed, we can arrive just in time to be the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada!"
In the southern part of the continent.
Azure Luan Douluo and Light Feather Douluo had already broken away from Spirit Hall's main force.
One flew through the air at high speed.
The other turned into an icy-blue streak of light, darting through the mountain forests.
Their destination was none other than Crimson Flame Volcano!
"The Great Enshrined told us to confirm the Vermilion Bird's location."
"But he never said who would get the Soul Ring in the end."
Light Feather Douluo spoke with a smile as he traveled.
Azure Luan Douluo was comparatively calm:
"Let's find the Vermilion Bird first."
"That's a Soul Beast on par with the White Tiger."
"According to the intelligence sent back from the front, Bibi Dong is already locked in a bitter fight with the White Tiger."
At the mention of the White Tiger, Light Feather Douluo's smile faded a little.
The Heavenly Screen had not shown the battle in White Tiger Canyon.
But Spirit Hall had already obtained some information through its own channels.
The White Tiger's actual size far exceeded what the Heavenly Screen had shown.
And the Vermilion Bird was on the same level as the White Tiger.
Its true form was probably nowhere near as simple as it appeared!
At the Clear Sky Sect.
Before the mountain gates, which had already opened.
Tang Xiao and several elders had just selected the disciples who would accompany them and were preparing to depart.
At present, the only information they possessed was what they could see on the Heavenly Screen.
The information gap was their greatest disadvantage at the moment.
They had already analyzed the situation, and the most suitable place for them to go was Crimson Flame Volcano!
"Crimson Flame Volcano has a harsh environment, but it will definitely have the fewest people heading there."
Although the Vermilion Bird's attributes did not suit the Clear Sky Hammer.
At a time like this, how could they still worry about matching attributes?
As long as they could obtain one Soul Ring from the Four Holy Beasts.
They could prevent Spirit Hall from obtaining all four Holy Beast Soul Rings.
Thus, Tang Xiao quickly made his decision.
This contest for the Four Holy Beasts was very likely to determine the Clear Sky Sect's future fate.
Whether they could win a battle to turn their fortunes around would depend on this attempt!
That was also why all six Titled Douluos were setting out.
"Those enshrined elders of Spirit Hall must have set out too! We have to get there as fast as we can!"
As Tang Xiao spoke, his feet moved, and he took the lead in setting out.
The five elders and the sect's elite members followed close behind.
The Clear Sky Sect, which had sealed its mountain for many years, finally opened its gates once more!
What they had not expected, however, was this.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already arrived near Crimson Flame Volcano.
Azure Luan Douluo and Light Feather Douluo were also rapidly approaching Crimson Flame Volcano from another direction!
Ye Yao's Vermilion Bird avatar was about to face a group of the continent's most powerful experts!
