Although this may seem like a trivial piece of information, it reveals a great deal.
First of all, Hu Liena is Bibi Dong's disciple and should only obey Bibi Dong's orders. So why is it Qian Xunji who is giving her the orders instead of Bibi Dong?
Thinking further, is it possible that Hu Liena is no longer able to see Bibi Dong, which is why Qian Xunji directly gave her the order? If so, something extraordinary must have happened within the Spirit Hall to cause this situation.
Qi Ling couldn't help but worry about Bibi Dong's safety. Qian Xunji's actions at this time must mean he had some major plan, and the time was ripe for him to make his move.
It seems that once things are settled here, Qi Ling must immediately return to the Shrek Academy. Perhaps a momentous change is quietly taking place.
The second piece of information is even more important given their current situation: Tang San discovered that the three mysterious people might have some special identities, but their strength was not great; all three were only Soul Douluo.
Perhaps the strength of Soul Douluo is already quite formidable in the outside world, but with Qi Ling, Da Ming, Er Ming around, ordinary Soul Douluo are really just there to make up the numbers.
But after receiving this information, Qi Ling began to ponder. If they were just three ordinary Soul Douluo, why would they conceal their identities? And what was their purpose in coming here?
Unable to come up with a solution, Qi Ling had no choice but to give up. After all, he couldn't think of anything the three Soul Douluo could do, and even if they used a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he was confident he could handle it.
As for the rest of the information, it's not that important. The people from the Spirit Hall did come for Xiao Wu, and they were acting on Qian Xunji's orders. Knowing that is enough.
Mystic Crystal Secret Exploration requires an astonishing amount of Soul Power, and even Qi Ling cannot sustain it for long. Therefore, after receiving Tang San's information, Qi Ling put away the Mystic Crystal.
In the final moments before the image disappeared, Qi Ling saw that Hu Liena finally couldn't resist and moved closer to Tang San, as if she wanted to say something more to him.
"That's the situation. The Spirit Hall came very well prepared this time. If we hadn't discovered them beforehand, we would have suffered a great loss," Qi Ling said.
"Tomorrow, we'll coordinate with Xiao San from the inside and outside to catch them off guard, and let them know that the Star Dou Great Forest isn't a place they can just come and go as they please!"
Afterwards, Xiao Wu and Qi Ling rushed back to the lake in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest. After a night's rest, they were fully refreshed and waiting for the Spirit Hall to come knocking on their door.
The next morning, after everyone had a simple breakfast, they prepared to set off again. After a night of calm, Yan and the others had all calmed down. For them, the primary task now was to capture Xiao Wu; everything else could wait until they succeeded.
At Soul Douluo's command, all the Spirit Hall members set off again. Although they didn't completely trust Tang San, they also didn't believe that a Soul King could cause any trouble.
They already knew roughly where the lake where Xiao Wu was, so without any delay, they headed straight for the central area of the forest.
As soon as she got up, Hu Liena couldn't help but lean towards Tang San, constantly trying to make conversation with him. It seemed that no matter what Tang San said to her, it made her very happy.
Yan, who was following behind, watched all of this with hatred in his eyes. He had now completely realized that as long as Tang San was still alive, he would never have a chance.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, especially Hu Liena, he certainly couldn't make a move directly. But this was the Star Dou Great Forest; creating an accident here wouldn't be difficult, would it?
Meanwhile, Tang San was also observing the situation of the team and everything around them. The team's formation was no different from yesterday, with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo supporting each other from the front and back, while Tang San and the others were surrounded in the very center.
What caught Tang San's attention was that the three mysterious figures, who were always wearing cloaks, were also positioned in the very center of the group, in a protected position.
Logically speaking, Soul Douluo's strength is already the strongest besides Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, so why would someone like that need protection?
Unfortunately, Tang San can no longer convey these doubts to Qi Ling, otherwise, Qi Ling might have been able to deduce something based on this information.
After a rest, the Spirit Hall members quickened their pace and finally arrived at the lake an hour later.
Just as the group appeared before the lake, a gentle voice rang out from ahead. "Welcome to the Star Dou Great Forest!"
Xiao Wu and the Titan Giant Ape appeared before everyone, surprising both the Spirit Hall members and Tang San. However, while the Spirit Hall members were surprised, Tang San was delighted.
After receiving his elder brother's signal yesterday, Tang San knew that his elder brother must have reunited with Xiao Wu. Since Xiao Wu dared to appear so boldly now, his elder brother must have made all the necessary arrangements.
Seeing the fearful expressions on the faces of the Spirit Hall members, Xiao Wu couldn't help but continue, "Didn't you come looking for me? Now that you've found me, why don't you dare to make a move?"
The reason why the Spirit Hall members dared not make a move was naturally because of the Titan Giant Ape beneath Xiao Wu. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Since you refuse to do it, then we'll do it ourselves," Xiao Wu said. "It's time to settle this. You can all stay here!"
Following Xiao Wu's words, the Titan Giant Ape roared and charged towards the two Titled Douluo, displaying its formidable strength.
After a brief discussion, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo immediately decided that one of them would hold off the Titan Giant Ape while the other went to capture Xiao Wu.
But just as they were putting their plan into action, the Sky Azure Bull Python's enormous head rose from beneath the lake's surface, and its Slow Domain activated instantly, trapping Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Faced with the combined attack of two peerless Ferocious Beast, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were immediately in danger. At their level, no one else could intervene and could only watch them fight.
Just as the Titan Giant Ape was about to launch a fatal attack on the two, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo suddenly unleashed incredibly powerful Soul Power. Their nine Soul Ring lit up, and they stood face to face, clasping hands. Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, " Bipolar Lockdown Domain," had already been activated.
Under the effect of this powerful fusion technique, even the mighty Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python were fixed in the air, completely unable to move.
Although Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo have also lost their ability to move, the remaining Soul Saint and Soul Douluo are enough to deal with Xiao Wu, which is the capture plan they devised for this trip.
At this point, the situation was almost exactly the same as before, except that there was one more person present.
