Chapter 635: How dare the Spirit Hall be so bold?!

The Soul Saint snorted coldly, turned around and flew eastward with the five Soul Emperors.

A cold light flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and he whispered to the four women, "Follow me closely and be ready to evacuate at any time."

The team moved quickly, the roar of the soul beasts was getting closer and closer, and the ground was shaking more violently.

Lu Yu deliberately slowed down and kept some distance from the pursuers.

Just when Soul Saint and others rushed out hundreds of meters, Lu Yu suddenly stopped, swung the sword in his hand, and a sword energy went straight to the back of Soul Saint.

"you!"

The Soul Saint turned around suddenly, his soul skills burst out, blocking the sword energy, and roared, "Lu Yu, you dare to play tricks on me?"

"Playing you?"

Lu Yu sneered, "I was just testing your sincerity! But now it seems that there is no need to cooperate!"

Just as he finished speaking, a terrifying beast roar came from behind.

A hundred thousand year old soul beast as big as a mountain - the Thunder Lion rushed out from the forest, and its huge claws directly slapped towards the Soul Saint and others.

The Soul Saint was shocked and unleashed his soul skills at full strength, but was unable to resist at all.

The Thunder Lion's giant claws fell, and the Soul Saint and five Soul Emperors were instantly torn into pieces, and blood spilled all over the ground.

"Brother Lu Yu, you..."

Ning Rongrong widened her eyes and looked at Lu Yu in shock.

"Being attacked from both sides is the stupidest thing to do."

Lu Yu said calmly, "Although they are powerful, they are vulnerable to the beast tide.

I just use the soul beast to get rid of the trouble."

Xiao Wu bit her lip and whispered, "Lu Yu, your plan... is really cruel."

"ruthless?"

Lu Yu shook his head, his eyes deep, “In this world, if we are not ruthless, we would have died long ago.

Come on, I'll use the teleportation talisman to take you away!"

A light flashed in his hand, and an ancient talisman appeared.

Lu Yu infused his soul power into the talisman, which burned instantly. A ray of light enveloped the five people, and the next moment, their figures disappeared out of thin air.

Outside the Star Forest, there was a mess.

When Lu Yu and others were teleported to the ground, what they saw was a scene of devastation.

The once prosperous human town has turned into ruins, houses have collapsed, streets are littered with broken limbs, and the wailing of the people can be heard one after another.

In the distance, the roar of the soul beasts still shook the sky, and the dust was flying, as if it was the end of the world.

"It's so miserable..."

Ye Lingling covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes, "Why are these soul beasts attacking human towns?"

Xiao Wu lowered her head, her voice trembling, "Some powerful human must have done something terrible and angered the soul beasts of the Star Dou Forest... Lu Yu, we have to find out!"

Lu Yu nodded, his eyes swept across the ruins, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's find a safe place first.

It's too dangerous here, soul beasts may attack at any time."

He quickly left with the four women, heading towards a fortified human city in the distance.

On the city wall, several soul masters were on full alert, and there was even a Titled Douluo in charge, with the fluctuations of their soul power shocking all around.

Lu Yu sneaked into the city, gathered information, and soon learned the cause of the beast tide.

"I heard that a Titled Douluo hunted down a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast in the depths of the Star Dou Forest and destroyed its clan."

A soul master whispered, his tone tinged with fear, "The news of the soul beast's death spread, angering the other soul beasts deep in the forest, which triggered the beast tide."

Lu Yu frowned and whispered, "Human greed will eventually have to pay the price."

A trace of sadness flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes, and she held Lu Yu's hand tightly: "Lu Yu, what else can we... do?"

Lu Yu patted her hand, his eyes firm: “Protect yourself first, and then find out the truth.

If it was really humans who instigated this incident, we must make them pay the price."

Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Brother Lu Yu is right! Our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will also help!"

Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling also nodded, fighting spirit burning in their eyes.

Lu Yu looked into the distance with a deep gaze, and whispered: "The anger of the Star Dou Forest will not be quelled so easily.

We have to be more careful on the road ahead."

Lu Yu and his group strolled through the streets of a small border town in the Xingluo Empire. The shops on both sides of the street were brightly lit, and the shouts and the hustle and bustle of pedestrians intertwined into a lively scene.

The night wind was slightly cool, carrying a hint of the fragrance of grass and trees, but it could not conceal the faint sense of tension floating in the air.

Lu Yu walked in front with steady steps, his eyes sweeping across the streets and alleys, as if trying to catch some subtle abnormalities.

Xiao Wu beside him clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with complex emotions from time to time. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing walked side by side, talking in low voices.

"Brother Lu Yu, have you heard?"

Ning Rongrong suddenly quickened her pace and approached Lu Yu, her voice filled with urgency, "Everyone in town is saying that something big happened in the Xingdou Great Forest! They say there's been a beast tide, so ferocious it's terrifying, even a hundred thousand year old spirit beast has appeared!"

Hearing this, Lu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, stopped, turned to look at Ning Rongrong, and said in a deep voice: "Beast tide? Hundred thousand year soul beasts? Where did this news come from? Is it reliable?"

Ning Rongrong pointed to a tavern not far away and said in a low voice, "I just heard from the waiter, he said the news came from the mouths of a few escaped soul hunters.

It is said that... the beast tide broke out after the Spirit Hall's experts entered the Star Dou Great Forest. The timing is so coincidental that many people are speculating that this incident is closely related to the Spirit Hall.

"Martial Soul Hall..."

When Xiao Wu heard these three words, her body trembled violently, a deep hatred flashed in her eyes, her hands were clenched tightly, her knuckles turned white, and there was even a hint of murderous aura emanating from her.

Her breathing became rapid, and her chest rose and fell slightly, as if she was suppressing a tremendous rage.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Zhuqing noticed Xiao Wu's abnormality and asked with concern, her slender hand gently resting on Xiao Wu's shoulder.

Ning Rongrong also cast a worried look and asked tentatively, "Did you remember something bad?"

Xiao Wu took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, forced a smile, and shook her head: "Nothing, it's just... when I think about the dirty things those people in the Spirit Hall did, I get so angry."

Her voice was low and gritted, but there was a flash of undisguised pain in her eyes.

Lu Yu's gaze fell on Xiao Wu, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

He didn't ask any further questions, but just patted Xiao Wu's shoulder gently and said gently: "Don't think too much, the past is the past, what we have to do now is to face the situation in front of us."

He paused, turned to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, and said in a deep voice: "What else do you know about the beast tide?"

Zhu Zhuqing took over the conversation and analyzed calmly, "I heard from my family that the beast tide in the Xingdou Great Forest has attracted many powerful people. Soul Douluo and even Titled Douluo have been dispatched to temporarily suppress the beast tide at the outskirts of the forest.

However, the situation does not seem optimistic. The Xingluo Empire has already begun to summon spirit masters to prepare for possible crises."

Lu Yu nodded, his eyes sweeping towards the dimly lit streets in the distance. After a moment's silence, he said, "If the Spirit Hall is truly behind the beast tide, things might not be that simple.

Let's stay in this town and wait and see what happens.

If necessary, I will take action to protect innocent people."

"Brother Lu Yu, you are always so steady."

Ning Rongrong said with a smile, but a glint of admiration flashed in her eyes, "With you here, we feel at ease!"

Xiao Wu didn't say anything, but just followed Lu Yu silently with a complicated look in her eyes.

She knew that Lu Yu's decisions were never made lightly, but if he were to face the Spirit Hall, how would she resolve the hatred and worries in her heart?

At the same time, deep in the Holy Temple of the Spirit Hall, in the magnificent hall, Pope Bibi Dong sat on a high platform. Her purple-gold robe outlined her noble and majestic figure, but her eyes flashed with ambitious light.

The flickering candlelight in the hall illuminated her beautiful face, adding a touch of coldness and solemnity.

A Titled Douluo in a black robe knelt on one knee and reported respectfully: "Your Holiness, everything has been arranged.

All personnel are in place, awaiting your orders to launch the plan."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

She slowly stood up, her purple-gold robe trailing lightly on the ground as she moved, her voice cold and majestic: "Very good.

The beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest has thrown all factions into disarray. The Heaven Dou Empire, the Xing Luo Empire, the seven great sects... they are all preoccupied with their own affairs. This is the perfect opportunity for our Spirit Hall to unify the continent."

She paused, her gaze sweeping across His Highness like a knife, and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow, the Wuhun Empire will officially appear before the world, shocking everyone!"

"Martial Soul Empire..."

Another figure in the hall murmured softly, with a hint of shock and complexity.

Hu Liena slowly walked out from the shadows, her tight red dress outlining her graceful figure, but there was a hint of fatigue and worry between her brows.

She had just returned from the City of Slaughter, her aura was sharper than ever, and the fluctuations of her soul power showed that she had broken through to the Soul Emperor realm.

Bibi Dong's gaze fell on Hu Liena, and a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, but was quickly replaced by coldness.

She slowly walked down the platform, her voice filled with scrutiny: "Nana, you've changed a lot after our trip to the City of Slaughter.

Tell me, what exactly happened to Zheng Xueying's death?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's delicate body trembled slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Teacher, Zheng Xueying was defeated by a soul master codenamed 'No. 666' in the Slaughter City.

This person is extremely powerful, even I... am no match for him."

Her voice was trembling, as if she was trying hard to hide something.

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes and pierced Hu Liena with her gaze like needles, as if she wanted to dig out all the secrets in her heart.

She snorted coldly: “Nana, you should know that it is meaningless to hide it from me.

However, I will not pursue this for now."

She paused, her tone becoming serious: "You are the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and in the future you will be the first Holy Maiden of the Spirit Empire.

Remember, your responsibility is to serve the Spirit Hall and the empire's hegemony!"

"Martial Soul Empire..."

Hu Liena repeated in a low voice, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She suddenly raised her head and couldn't help asking, "Teacher, are you really going to establish the Wuhun Empire so soon? Isn't this... too hasty? Lu Yu..."

"Lu Yu?"

When Bibi Dong heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and her voice suddenly became cold: "Nana, your heart seems to be a little confused."

She took a step forward, pressing down on Hu Liena with the momentum of a mountain: “No matter how strong Lu Yu is, he is only one person.

The establishment of the Wuhun Empire is an inevitable trend, and no one, no force, can stop it! If you still remember the old feelings, you are not worthy to be my disciple! "

Hu Liena bit her lip, a struggle flashing in her eyes. Finally, she lowered her head and said, "Disciple understands... Spirit Hall is the most important thing."

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction, turned around and looked outside the hall, her gaze seemed to penetrate the heavy night sky and fall on the distant Xingluo Empire: "Tomorrow, the Wuhun Empire will shock the world with the force of thunder.

If Lu Yu dares to stop him, let him see the true power of the Spirit Hall!"

At the same time, inside the Xingluo Empire's palace, the lights were on, but the atmosphere was suffocatingly oppressive.

The Xingluo Emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face majestic but his worry could not be concealed.

Below, Zhu Tianxiong, the head of the Zhu family, knelt on one knee and said in a hurried voice, "Your Majesty, the beast tide in the Xingdou Great Forest is getting more and more intense. Several villages and towns in the surrounding area have been destroyed, and there have been heavy casualties.

What is even more disturbing is that the Spirit Hall has recently recalled a large number of spirit masters, and their whereabouts are mysterious. I suspect they..."

"Martial Soul Hall..."

The Xingluo Emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice like thunder: "I have long known that they are ambitious. I am afraid that this beast tide is closely related to them."

He slammed the armrest of the dragon throne and shouted angrily, "Pass the order down! All spirit masters are to immediately enter combat readiness. While suppressing the beast tide, closely monitor the movements of the Spirit Hall! If they dare to make any unusual moves, I will make them pay the price!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Tianxiong took the order and retreated in a hurry.

However, the next morning, an urgent report exploded in the palace like thunder.

A bloodstained messenger stumbled into the hall, his voice hoarse, "Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! The Spirit Hall... The Spirit Hall has suddenly launched an attack and captured several of our border cities! The city lords have all been killed, and the defenders have lost contact!"

"what?!"

The Xingluo Emperor stood up suddenly, his eyes blazing with anger, "How dare the Spirit Hall be so bold?!"

Before he could finish, another messenger rushed in, his voice trembling, "Your Majesty! The Spirit Hall army has marched towards the capital, led by Pope Bibi Dong herself, and is heading straight for the Imperial Palace!"

There was a dead silence in the hall. Civil and military officials looked at each other with shock and fear in their eyes.

The Xingluo Emperor took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "I decree that all Titled Douluo immediately proceed to the city walls of the capital and summon all nearby spirit masters to defend the empire to the death! The Spirit Hall wants to annex Xingluo, and I will make them pay with blood!"

As the sun rose, outside the capital of the Xingluo Empire, war drums thundered and shouts of killing shook the sky.

Bibi Dong, dressed in a purple-gold robe, sat upright on a golden imperial carriage. Behind her was a dense army of the Spirit Hall. The spirit masters held high their banners and shouted in unison: "For the Spirit Empire!"

"Your Holiness, the Xingluo capital is before us. Please order the attack!"

A Titled Douluo bowed and asked for instructions, his eyes full of fanaticism.

Bibi Dong's eyes were icy as she swept across the towering walls of the capital in the distance. A sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth: "Attack the city! Let the Xingluo Empire witness the might of the Wuhun Empire!"

With her order, the Spirit Hall army surged towards the city wall like a tide.
