Puppeteering Spirit Thread!
Although Kong Xuan didn't know the name yet, he recognized at a glance that the Martial Soul Entanglement his right wrist was Shui Ling's.
He looked around but did not find any trace of Kong Ling.
But he knew that if he followed this thread, he would surely find Shui Ling.
Just as Kong Xuan was wondering why Shui Ling had suddenly used her Martial Soul to approach him, he actually heard Shui Ling's voice through the silk thread Entanglement around his wrist.
Kong Xuan suddenly realized why she could easily control the entire arena during the competition; it turned out that her Martial Soul could not only control her teammates' bodies but also transmit sound.
But Kong Xuan had no time to think about these things, because the two words transmitted through the silk thread were "Help!"
Kong Xuan didn't understand why Shui Ling was shouting for help. The auction had just ended; was someone trying to kill him and steal the treasure?
But the teacher who came with Shui Ling is Soul Emperor of the Sixth Ring.
If Soul Emperor has fallen, what's the point of finding a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster like him?
" Brother Xuan, what are you looking at?"
Xu Wei followed Kong Xuan's gaze to his right wrist, but there was nothing there.
Kong Xuan hesitated for a moment, then clenched his fist and glanced at Xu Wei, saying, "Wait here for me, I'll be right back."
In the end, Kong Xuan did not choose to pretend he hadn't heard, but decided to go and see.
As for why Kong Xuan wanted to go, even he himself couldn't quite explain it.
If one had to give a reason, perhaps it would be that if he didn't go, his mind wouldn't be at ease.
After all, as a time traveler with a personal talisman, how could I back down at the first sign of trouble!
Although this could be dangerous, Kong Xuan has a trump card to save his life and is confident that he can hold his own even against Titled Douluo.
If all else fails, isn't there still the power of a single strike from the Ruyi Golden Cudgel )?
However, this is a "treasure weapon against Tang," and he doesn't want to waste it here unless absolutely necessary.
After all, he had always hoped that God King Tang would be its first experiencer.
To Xu Wei's astonishment, Kong Xuan's figure darted forward and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.
Xu Wei stared blankly as Kong Xuan disappeared into the distance, completely unaware of what had happened. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to stay where Kong Xuan had instructed.
On the other side, Kong Xuan was following the silk thread on his right hand, constantly moving forward.
He sensed that the other person must also be constantly moving; otherwise, if Shui Ling's Martial Soul could extend that far, it would be quite terrifying, considering she was only a second-ring Soul Grandmaster.
After following the silk thread for quite some time, just when Kong Xuan was about to give up, he finally spotted two figures under his powerful eyesight.
The night wind swept across the deserted path, Kong Xuan, maintaining his speed, was gradually approaching.
Despite the dark clouds obscuring the moon tonight and the absence of Soul Guidance Lamp along the path, Kong Xuan could still see Shui Ling's hands bound by a pair of silver-white soul-guided handcuffs as she staggered behind a person draped in a black cloak.
Her face was pale, her lips were tightly pressed together, and she seemed unable to speak, but her eyes remained defiant.
Kong Xuan remembered that the three members of the Shui Ling Team and their instructor were all present at the auction.
But at this moment, only Shui Ling was here, so it was clear that the other party was after her, and it shouldn't be about killing and stealing treasure.
However, the others are likely in grave danger as well.
Kong Xuan's Golden Eyes ignited in the darkness, his gaze piercing through the cloak and staring directly at the figure.
A vast, boundless Soul Power surged within the other's body. Even though the distance was great, Kong Xuan still felt a terrifying pressure bearing down on him as if it were a tangible force, causing him to catch his breath.
Kong Xuan's expression changed, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his body. His opponent was definitely Titled Douluo!
Despite being somewhat prepared, he still couldn't help but tremble when he actually discovered that the other party was Titled Douluo- level powerhouse.
"Now that you're here, why hide?"
A hoarse voice exploded in Kong Xuan's ear, like a cold blade scraping against his nerves.
Kong Xuan's pupils contracted sharply, and all the muscles in his body tensed instantly.
The man in black robes slowly turned around, and two crimson lights shone from the shadows beneath his hood, locking onto him.
We've been discovered!
Kong Xuan only felt a blur before his eyes, and the figure that was hundreds of meters away appeared in front of him in just a few flashes.
"Little one," the black-robed man's voice pierced Kong Xuan's ears like a venomous snake, "Don't meddle in other people's business."
Since arriving in this world, Kong Xuan, Titled Douluo, has met quite a few, but this is the first time he has had a one-on-one encounter with Titled Douluo who harbors malice.
He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm.
"Senior," Kong Xuan spoke slowly, his voice steady, "I wonder what my classmate has done to offend you that warrants your personal intervention?"
The man in black robes chuckled softly, a sound like the scraping of metal, sending chills down one's spine.
"You're so calm!"
He slightly raised his hand, and a wisp of black mist rose from between his fingers. "I have no ill intentions towards your classmate; I'm just taking her home."
The black mist spread like a living thing, exuding an eeriness and sinister aura.
In an instant, Kong Xuan thought of many things and also confirmed the other party's identity.
Evil Soul Master!
This is a Titled Douluo- level Evil Soul Master.
Shui Ling's Soul Skill can absorb the Soul Power of others, or it can be described as devouring.
In the Shrek Academy's view, such an ability is definitely Evil Martial Soul, and Soul Master who possesses such Martial Soul is Evil Soul Master!
Clearly, this Evil Soul Master thought the same way at that moment, which is why he said he would take her home.
However, according to Kong Xuan's observation, Shui Ling did not show any crazy or bloodthirsty behavior because of this Martial Soul, and was completely different from the so-called Evil Soul Master.
Moreover, he himself only came here because of Shui Ling's plea for help, and it's clear that Shui Ling has no intention of returning to the "family" of Evil Soul Master.
Without a doubt, things have now reached their worst point.
Kong Xuan is likely to face off against this Evil Soul Master at the Titled Douluo level, and the opponent is probably a high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Cult.
I just don't know which of the Twelve Offerings or the Eight Elders this person is.
Just as Kong Xuan was pondering how to respond next, the Evil Soul Master opposite him spoke first.
" Kong Xuan!"
Hearing those two words sent a shiver down Kong Xuan's spine; the other party actually knew his name.
Could it be that I've been targeted by the Holy Spirit Cult? My Martial Soul doesn't carry any Evil aura or function whatsoever.
"The beloved grandson of Kong Deming, the Silver Moon Douluo."
His subsequent words dispelled Kong Xuan's doubts; it turned out that he had only noticed him because of Kong Deming.
"For the sake of Silver Moon Douluo, I won't make things difficult for you."
"But the affairs of my Holy Cult are not for you to meddle in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the terrifying aura of Titled Douluo pressed down on Kong Xuan, clearly intending to make Kong Xuan back down.
Even with Kong Xuan's formidable physique and Divine Power at the Spirit Abyss Realm, he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
But instead of turning away, he raised his head and looked directly into the other man's scarlet eyes hidden under his hood.
"Now that I'm here, I'm taking my classmate with me."
"Kid, don't push your luck."
The Evil Soul Master's tone suddenly hardened, and the threat in his words was no longer concealed. " Silver Moon Douluo is indeed very strong, but he is no match for my Holy Cult Sect."
