Chapter 325 Undercurrent (Part 1)

As the participating teams from the two empires gradually approached the venue for the finals of the continent-wide high-level soul master competition, undercurrents of taunting emerged in the darkness.

Qian Renxue slowly raised her head and said softly to the black figure in front of her, "She didn't let me take action, but instead arranged for her own people?"

The shadow lowered his head, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Holy Maiden... If the elders of the Enshrinement Hall don't come forward, we can't reverse Your Majesty's decision."

Qian Renxue sneered, "Is that woman crazy? Tell me how many people you plan to send. The Tiandou Empire is not going to be easy to deal with this time. Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, Dragon Lord and Snake Woman , and...that Rayast hidden in Lu Yuan's body."

"With Ning Fengzhi's Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda amplified, how could they break through the protection of Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo and assassinate Lu Yuan? What's more, the mysterious powerful man named Raast in Lu Yuan's body is not easy to mess with. , Tang Hao was killed by him alone."

Only Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo and others knew the true cause of Tang Hao's death. In the eyes of outsiders, Tang Hao's death came from two aspects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and being isolated and helpless.

The two titled Douluo from the Qibao Glazed Sect plus Ning Fengzhi, the continent's number one auxiliary soul master, were enough to kill Tang Hao.

After all, no matter how powerful Tang Hao is, he has only been promoted to Title Douluo for more than ten years. Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are not like Poison Douluo, who almost always stays at level 91 soul power and level 92 soul power. A general titled Douluo with soul power.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are peak Douluo with ninety-fifth level soul power. Even if Haotian Douluo's name is resounding, it is not enough to withstand the joint attack of the two peak Douluo.

Coupled with the lack of information in this era, it is difficult for outsiders to understand the situation on that day.

So in this case, others would only think that Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo sneaked out of Tiandou City anonymously, and then teamed up to design a trap to surround and kill Tang Hao.

And this also resulted in the existence of Raast being unknown.

But others don't know, but that doesn't mean Qian Renxue doesn't know. After all, Ghost Leopard Douluo saw Laast's presence at the scene. (Don’t ask how he knew his name. When Laast beat Tang Hao, he shouted his own name loudly!)

"Not to mention that Lu Yuan himself is not simple either." Qian Renxue's eyes were bright when she thought of Lu Yuan.

This boy she had watched grow up had given her too many surprises, and sometimes she even looked forward to what surprises Lu Yuan could bring her.

"Yes, it is precisely because His Highness's intelligence mentioned these powerful men except Laast, so in the next action, Your Majesty is not going to kill the kid named Lu Yuan, but to do everything possible. Might be seriously injured." The shadow suddenly said in a deep voice.

"And a large number of powerful people and manpower have been gathered in the palace."

"Oh? Who did she summon?" Qian Renxue asked.

"The people responsible for leading the team are Golden Eagle Lordiala and Spirit Phoenix Meng Yuan. Those with titles of Douluo and above will mobilize the three elders Ju Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Demon Bear Douluo..." Black Shadow immediately said truthfully, " There are also two thousand Spirit Hall deacons, and they are all at least purple-clothed and above..."

The most basic members of the Wuhun Hall are the deacons, and their status levels are also divided into hierarchies like the bishops of the Wuhun Hall, divided into white clothes, yellow clothes, purple clothes and black clothes.

Great soul masters like Xixian Yuntao are at most deacons in yellow clothes, while deacons of the Wuhun Hall who are above the soul master are in purple clothes.

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes, "It's really a lot of effort, but... is it worth it just to seriously injure Lu Yuan at such a high cost?"

"Your Majesty said that this is for Wuhun Palace's honor in the competition." Black Shadow lowered his head and said.

"Probably it's for her precious apprentice..." When she said this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but laugh at herself, "It's really enviable, letting them absorb soul bones, and also sent two thousand deacons in purple or above to help them Seriously injure your opponent in advance..."

But what she didn't know was that Bibi Dong's move was actually not entirely preparation for Hu Liena and others to defeat Lu Yuan.

Bibi Dong's move also meant to vent her anger for Yu Xiaogang. It was because of this hatred that she was willing to put in so much effort.

"My status in her heart...is not as good as her student?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but said hoarsely in a low voice.

She seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be questioning Bibi Dong, her biological mother.

The shadow suddenly fell silent. There was a huge problem between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong that no one else could intervene in.

He is a little pawn and cannot speak at all.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, and then said, "Then I will just watch the show quietly and let our Majesty suffer for a while...that's fine...that's fine!"

Her last voice sounded like it was forced out of her teeth.

…

Lu Yuan looked at the majestic border pass gradually receding behind him - Zhennang Pass. This was the last fortress within the jurisdiction of the Tiandou Empire and Wuhun Palace. The principality is guarded by you.

As for Jialing Pass?

It wasn't until Lu Yuan came to this world and learned some geographical knowledge about the Tiandou Empire that he realized that Jialing Pass, which was very important in the original text and was an important battlefield in the Battle of the Two Gods, was not the real border between the Tiandou Empire and Wuhun City. Border.

The reason why Jialing Pass will eventually become the place for the final decisive battle between the Spirit Empire and the Tiandou Empire.

It was because Wuhun Palace had instigated rebellion against all the kingdoms and principalities on the border between the Tiandou Empire and the Star Luo Empire at that time, and such an important border pass as Zhennan Pass fell directly into the hands of the Wuhun Empire, which led to this situation.

Jialing Pass is the last fortress within the Tiandou Empire. After breaking through that fortress, there is the vast Zhili District of Tiandou City behind it.

"After passing the border, we are not far from Wuhun City." Ning Rongrong suddenly appeared and said.

"But after leaving the border, you will come to the territory of Wuhun Palace." Lu Yuan shook his head.

"Xiao Yuan, do you think Wuhun Palace will do anything after we leave the border?" Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "It's unlikely. Although Wuhun Palace has conflicts with the empire, Wuhun Palace After all, the palace is not the Star Luo Empire."

The reason why Wuhun Palace and Tiandou Empire are at odds is simply because Wuhun Palace, as a soul master organization independent of the two empires, is not loyal to the empire. Instead, it has been competing with the empire for soul master resources over the years.

In this world where force is paramount, that empire is willing to have such a force wander outside the empire, and at the same time continue to rob the country's soul master resources.

That is to say, Wuhun Palace's fist is still big now, and the two empires dare to be angry but dare not speak out. If Wuhun Palace is not so strong, Xue Ye will definitely want to send troops to encircle Wuhun Palace.

It is almost equivalent to the White Lotus Sect in a certain dynasty in the previous life. They directly called it a cult and then wiped it out with heavy troops.

Not to mention Xue Ye, even Lu Yuan would think so when he gets to that position in the future, but he will not kill them all, he will only make them change their minds, become loyal to him, and be used by him.

Wuhun Palace is a soul master force, not an empire, so the Tiandou Empire has always focused its war mobilization on the Star Luo Empire, a behemoth that is also an imperial force.

No one would have thought that Wuhun Temple, which had always been a religious and balancing force on the mainland, would have the idea of ​​becoming an empire and unifying the continent in the future.

"The Star Luo Empire is not a strong enemy, Wuhun Palace is. No one could have imagined that their ambitions would be so big." Lu Yuan chuckled and said.

"Xiao Yuan, you said Wuhun Palace's ambition? What is that?" Ning Rongrong suddenly continued to ask curiously.

"Dominate the continent, unify and gather all the forces on the continent." Lu Yuan said softly.

"But in fact, for the entire continent, the unification of Wuhun Palace is not a bad thing, provided that..." The corner of his mouth traced a curve, "That woman shouldn't be really crazy and want to destroy everything."

It is indeed not a bad thing for Wuhun Palace to unify the continent. At least Wuhun Palace does not want to wipe out all the sects and colleges. There are no other four sects such as Shenglong Sect and Elephant Armor Sect who are loyal to Wuhun Palace. See how miserable it is.

If the Qibao Glazed Sect is willing to declare allegiance to Wuhun Palace, Wuhun Palace will definitely not forcibly disband the Qibao Glazed Sect.

But for Ning Fengzhi, it might be a little uncomfortable...

Similarly, for Lu Yuan, he did not want to be inferior to others. Although a certain foster father killer in his previous life was not a good character, his words were still quite right.

"A man born in heaven and earth, how can he live in a state of depression for a long time?"

Lu Yuan didn't want to travel through this time by himself, he just wanted to become someone else's subject.

"Which woman?" Ning Rongrong continued to ask.

Lu Yuan immediately rubbed his eyebrows, "It's hard to say. You will know when the time comes, even though you are a poor person..."

Ning Rongrong blinked, "Oh, can't you explain it more clearly?"

"Haha, compared to this, do you want to..." Lu Yuan paused, his eyes bright, "See my second martial spirit?"

"The second martial spirit?!" Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that Xiaoyuan, you are..."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, "Actually, I didn't intend to hide it from you... and this continent-wide advanced soul master competition is just a chance to show everyone... my potential!"

"I have decided that when it comes to the finals, I will only use my second martial soul that has not yet received a soul ring!" Then he whispered...

"All blades surrender to Chaos!"

The blazing wind and chaotic fire formed a peerless sharp blade, displayed in front of Ning Rongrong.

…

The journey was very peaceful, and the ten days passed quickly.

After leaving Zhennanguan, more than half of the way to Wuhun City has passed.

The escort team of 500 Royal Knights is comparable to the royal relatives. Wherever they go, they are received in the best manner by any city, and they do not encounter any trouble on the way.

Today is the eleventh day of the journey.

However, there are still many people in the fifteen teams who are working hard to practice, and probably only Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong are idle, because they are not under so much pressure.

While Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong were laughing and chatting, Laast's rich voice sounded in his mind, "Boy, you are in big trouble again!"

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, stopped talking to Ning Rongrong with a solemn expression, frowned and asked in his heart, "Raast, what's the trouble?"

Ning Rongrong saw Lu Yuan's expression change and asked curiously, "Xiao Yuan, what happened?"

"There are several very powerful auras coming towards you, and among them there are thousands of soldier-level units surrounding you!" Laast said.

"Martial Soul Hall?" Lu Yuan murmured softly.

Then he solemnly pulled Ning Rongrong back into the carriage and woke up the members of the Tiandou Royal Academy team who were immersed in cultivation in the carriage.

"Everyone, wake up and stop practicing!"

"There is an enemy attack, prepare to fight." He said in a solemn voice.

Suddenly, Dugu Yan, Yan Zhuyin and others were awakened, and were stunned for a moment when they heard Lu Yuan's words.

"What? No way, Lu Yuan, we are almost reaching Wuhun City, who will attack us?" Dugu Yan frowned and said.

Graphite Shimo was also in disbelief, "Yes, boss...and how did you know someone was coming to attack..."

"Anyway, we are about to attract an attack, so be prepared." Lu Yuan said in a deep voice. "And maybe these attackers are the answer that you all think they're not."

He didn't think it was child's play. In a large battlefield, Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo might not be able to completely protect them.

Lu Yuan was confident in protecting himself and Ning Rongrong, but he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to protect others.

"La Ast! How many powerful people with title Douluo or above are there in total!" He asked La Ast in his mind as he rushed out of the carriage.

Suddenly, before Rayaste could answer, a cold breath came from not far away.

Their team mostly took official roads, and only took some remote trails where they could get closer.

At this time, it was time to take a shortcut.

It is between two low hills. It is said that passing through here can save dozens of miles.

And although the mountains are a bit narrow, they are still fairly flat, so carriages can pass through them without any problem.

The cold breath came from the mountains on both sides of the small hill. This breath is now very obvious and has reached an unscrupulous level!

Naturally, Lu Yuan was not the only one who felt this.

The captain leading the Royal Knights shouted, "Everyone is on alert! There is a situation!"

The members of the Royal Knights who were guarding the soul masters immediately raised the knight's spear in their hands. With strict military discipline, they immediately did their jobs, their muscles tightened quickly, and their bodies exuded fierce murderous aura.

But the participating team members from the Soul Master Academy looked relaxed and content. They were all ignorant and had no idea how cruel the battlefield was.

They only think that with so many talented soul masters here, what do they need to worry about?

Although in terms of number, these students are much smaller than the Royal Knights.

But if they really fight, their strength is not proportional at all. What's more, there are many strong teachers among the teachers in each academy, and there are at least a dozen soul masters at the sixth or seventh level.

Such a team is enough to face a large army of more than ten thousand people.

However, any negligence on the battlefield will bring extremely regrettable consequences, and sometimes these consequences come at the cost of life!

Lu Yuan and the members of the Tiandou Team immediately left the carriage and quickly made a fighting stance on the spot.

"Nine treasures turned out to contain glazed glaze!" Ning Rongrong directly summoned the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda behind Lu Yuan.

"Under the fierce bow! No piece of armor remains!"

"The Jade Scale Snake is possessed by the martial spirit!"

"Xuanwu conquers the world!"

"Flowing Water Whip Blade! Appear!"

Everyone directly summoned their martial souls, and Lu Yuan was no exception.

"Heaven's will! Supreme authority!" Lu Yuan shouted sternly.

Then the huge blue, purple and gold scythe appeared in his hand, and Rayaste's voice came from his mind.

"I won't talk about the miscellaneous soldiers. There are three powerful ones with Title Douluo and above on the opposite side. They stopped at the very back. They don't seem to have any intention of taking action immediately!"

"The leaders are twenty Soul Saints and two Soul Douluo! They are quickly surrounding you!"

At this moment, countless falling rocks rolled down from the hills on both sides like raindrops. Not only did these falling rocks appear very abruptly, but they were also very neat and came quickly downwards.

In an instant, all the other careless Soul Master Academy students panicked!

"The number one soul skill! Death Star Destruction Slash!" Lu Yuan's voice suddenly sounded, drawing everyone's attention.

"The Nine Treasures are famous! One is: Power!" Ning Rongrong's movements were flawless. The first soul ring lit up, and a fifty percent increase in power was directly added to Lu Yuan.

Then the first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a purple energy light slash about ten meters wide. The light slash slashed directly into the air!

Lu Yuan hadn't used this initial soul skill for a long time, but at this time, the power of this soul skill was countless times greater than before!

Coupled with the increase in Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda...

In an instant, the sound of explosions sounded in the sky, and the falling rocks instantly turned into powder in the air!

When it fell again, it was like huge dust that was raised and scattered on everyone.

Then, everyone saw Lu Yuan's terrifying soul ring combination. After two yellow soul rings...

Are they all black ten-thousand-year soul rings? ? ? ?

A full four thousand-year soul rings?

This was the first time for most of the players at the scene to see Lu Yuan's soul ring combination, and they were all stunned in place.

But at this moment, Lu Yuan turned around and roared, "Why are you still standing there?! The enemy is attacking! If you don't want to die here, please move!"

At this time, these outstanding students who were still in the ivory tower woke up from a dream and summoned their martial spirits to come out and prepare to fight.

But at this moment, rocks fell one after another!

The terrain in front of them was very unfavorable for the entire team, and the captain of the Royal Knights quickly issued an order to speed up.

"Leave the falling rocks here to us, the Royal Knights," he shouted loudly.

Lu Yuan nodded.

Immediately, the fallen rocks were handed over to the five hundred members of the Royal Knights.

At this time, the overall quality of the Royal Knights was shown.

Although they are not all soul masters, their overall strength is very strong.

"Others! Prepare to break out!" Lu Yuan shouted directly at this time.

As soul masters, what they have to face is not these falling rocks, but those opponents who are also soul masters!
