The following day!
Early in the morning, Xie Xie started shouting...
"Something's wrong, something's wrong!! Everyone, stop sleeping!"
Tang Wulin rubbed his eyes, "Xie Xie, what's going on? Why all the fuss so early in the morning!"
Yue Zhengyu looked displeased and said, "If you don't have a good reason, I'll kill you!"
Xu Xiaoyan stretched lazily, "Phew... I'm so sleepy. It's all because the Spirit Pagoda and Holy Spirit Cult people destroyed the hotel and we had to camp outside."
They considered finding another hotel, but worried they might be surrounded again while sleeping!
Of course, this wasn't the worst. If the opponents used advanced soul-guided weapons, the situation would be extremely dire!
The already awake Blood Dragon Squad and the two Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion also cast curious glances...
Xie Xie's face turned serious and he said, "While everyone was resting, I went to the center of Lingbo City to check things out, and did not expect to find a wanted notice!"
"Those guys are accusing us of being evil Soul Masters!!"
Ye Xinglan clenched her fist and said angrily, "Hmph! The villains are complaining first! It's clear that they are colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult's evil Soul Masters!!"
Xu Lizhi was also furious, "Damn, I'd love to plant some destruction buns in the Spirit Pagoda right now and wipe them out completely!"
He paused, then said again, "We must expose the true face of the Spirit Pagoda branch to the civilians of Lingbo City!"
Gu Yue shook her head in disagreement, "No one will believe it; the Spirit Pagoda branch is already deeply trusted by the civilians of Lingbo City!"
Long Yuxue agreed, "Gu Yue is right. If we suddenly appear in the public eye, we might be attacked by them!"
"Although the people at this Spirit Pagoda branch have committed many crimes, it has nothing to do with the ordinary civilians of Lingbo City. We must not harm the innocent!"
Sima Jinchi impatiently said, "This won't work, that won't work—are we just going to swallow this anger? I think we should go straight to the source and destroy the Spirit Pagoda branch to settle everything!"
Jiang Wuyue glanced at him, "Don't forget the Spirit Pagoda also has mechas and other high-tech products; if we fight directly, there could be casualties!"
The other person's temperament was as hot-tempered as his own, but he couldn't act impulsively because of it!
Ya Li pressed her thin lips together, looking at the contemplative Tang Wulin, "Wulin, what do you think we should do?"
"If we storm the Spirit Pagoda directly, even with Elder Yuan'en and me, there might be situations where rescue is not timely!"
Next to him, Yuanen Zhentian responded with a light "Hmm"...
Tang Wulin came back to his senses, and said solemnly, "I have an idea, but there's no guarantee it'll work!"
"That is to first have some people dress as evil Soul Masters and Spirit Pagoda members to infiltrate the Spirit Pagoda to rescue my parents, while others wait outside the Spirit Pagoda, ready to launch a feint if necessary!"
He had also considered launching an attack on the Spirit Pagoda branch directly. With the two Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion present, victory was assured!
But... if the opponents used his parents, who were held inside the Spirit Pagoda, as hostages, the situation would be troublesome!
Yuanen Zhentian stroked his chin, "That's a good plan, but..."
Tang Wulin seemed to have guessed his thoughts, "I've already had Brother Jiang secure the items!"
Following his words, Jiang Wuyue immediately took out his storage soul tool and waved it a few times...
Sima Jinchi smacked his lips, "Hiss… didn't think of that, Wulin, you've even thought of ways to infiltrate the Spirit Pagoda."
Aruheng gave a thumbs-up, "Junior, no wonder the master has always praised you; it seems there is a reason!"
Yue Zhengyu couldn't help but ask, "So, how should we handle the infiltration personnel?"
Tang Wulin pondered for a moment, "As for the infiltration personnel... myself, Xie Xie, Gu Yue, Ye Hui, Senior Brother, Xiao Yan..."
He went on to select two agile-attack class members from the Blood Dragon Squad...
The soul power levels of all were almost around the eight rings!
....
As Halosa held a slender gray form and gently drew towards the ground, he coldly declared, "Netherworld Rebirth!"
Dense ghost flames spread from his body as the origin, extending outward and lightly igniting the bodies of all bizarre creatures with fire...
Standing still, he now looked like a death god from hell!!
From behind, Leng Yulai silently commented, "This is the Vice Sect Hierarch's ultimate domain, Netherworld Rebirth, indeed terrifying!"
At least, the sense of crisis it brought her might even surpass the Sect Hierarch!
"The Vice Sect Hierarch is truly formidable. His domain alone caused these ants to experience despair!"
"Certainly, the Vice Sect Hierarch's fame has echoed throughout the Continent for centuries!"
"The federation definitely didn't expect that their secret actions were known to us in the Holy Spirit Cult, and the strongest is only an ordinary TitledDouluo, hahahaha!!"
Meanwhile, on the federation side, a Titled Douluo responsible for escorting this mission saw the terrifying domain...
Cold sweat was covering his forehead, and he spoke with a trembling voice, "This domain... Netherworld Rebirth, he's the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Holy Spirit Cult, Nether King Douluo, Halosa! Didn't expect this guy wasn't dead!!"
This is an Ultimate Douluo-level powerhouse; before him, one could be crushed like an ant with little effort!
Halosa, upon hearing the mention of his name, said in surprise, "You recognize me, youngling!"
"It's a pity that you still have to die. Of course, if you're willing to submit to our Holy Spirit Cult, you may preserve your life!"
The Titled Douluo did not respond, instead looking at the federate members beside him and saying, "I'll cover you, run!!"
Seeing this, Halosa simply said indifferently, "Foolish!"
In his Netherworld Rebirth domain, escape was simply impossible!
He merely gripped his palm slightly, and the Titled Douluo felt an invisible hand grasp his throat, lifting him slowly into the air...
Following this, a thick sense of suffocation caused his pupils to contract and the veins on his forehead to bulge out...
Halosa spoke coldly once more, "I'll ask again, do you wish to submit to the Holy Spirit Cult?"
With teeth clenched, the Titled Douluo managed to utter a few words, "No... can't... puh!"
Before he could finish speaking, his body had already been separated, and his life essence quickly vanished...
Halosa then brushed off his sleeves, as if having done something effortlessly!
Leng Yulai looked at the remaining federate members and the Xingluo Empire soldiers and inquired, "Vice Sect Hierarch, what about these people?"
Halosa responded leisurely, "Keep the high-ranking one, and kill all the others!"
Leng Yulai nodded lightly, as a hundred-meter-tall Darkness Phoenix spread its wings and soared into the sky...
Nine soul rings slowly rose from his feet...
As one of the soul rings illuminated, the Darkness Phoenix expelled scorching black flames from its mouth, cascading downwards...
The federate members tried to escape, but under the repression of the Netherworld Rebirth domain, they couldn't get beyond its range...
Thus, they all turned to ashes in this extreme heat...
