In that dark and silent space.
Time seemed to solidify into suffocating shackles.
Those desperate 30 seconds.
Were like an endless abyss.
Slowly devouring the last remaining hope.
Everyone was acting like madmen.
Wanting to complete the last thing in their lives within these 30 seconds.
Some had dull eyes.
Some howled like children.
Some wanted to escape this hellish stage.
But without exception.
They were all slapped back onto the stage by the black-robed men of the Xuanji Pavilion.
"Time's up!"
Everyone instantly froze in place.
As if their feet were bound by invisible shackles—
Making it impossible to move.
"Actually, there are still 5 seconds."
"Hahaha—"
Zhuge Lan said with a loud laugh.
But—
On the entire stage.
He was the only one who could laugh.
For everyone else, it was a huge torment.
This humor, do you want it or not…
"Alright, time's really up."
Zhuge Lan retracted his smile, his face turning serious.
This time.
The Soul Masters finally erupted.
"Lord Zhuge, spare me! This lowly one really doesn't want to die!"
"Spare me, Lord Zhuge! I was forced to do it!"
"Daddy, spare me! I'm willing to be your slave for life!"
Daddy?
Don't affect my genes, okay?
Hearing these chaotic sounds.
Zhuge Lan helplessly shook his head and picked at his ears.
"Ahem—"
With a light cough, everyone closed their mouths.
"I know."
"Each of you is the best of your family."
"You also have some prestige within your sphere of influence."
"But can't you guys use your brains a little?"
"Just based on those rumors you spread, you directly gathered and attacked?"
"Come, come, you tell me."
Zhuge Lan randomly pointed at someone.
The person pointed at.
Was directly pushed out by an invisible force.
"Come, tell me, how are you guys spreading rumors about me outside."
Zhuge Lan asked curiously.
"I… I… outside…"
The Soul Master who was pulled out was so frightened that he couldn't speak properly.
The whole person collapsed and knelt in front of Zhuge Lan.
His whole body trembled non-stop, his face pale, without a trace of blood.
Like a dying person.
"If you don't want to die, straighten your tongue for me!"
"Ah—"
"It is rumored in the pugilistic world that Zhuge Lan is a wicked person who does all kinds of evil!"
"Destroying the homes of many civilians, plundering other people's wealth!"
"Seizing the territory of other families!"
"And he's also a shameless lecher! He's taken so many wives…"
"Shut up!"
…
If you keep talking.
I, Zhuge Lan, will completely lose face.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.
When did I, Zhuge Lan, get such a bad reputation?
"Forget it."
Zhuge Lan also smiled helplessly.
"Today's matter."
"This Dean will not pursue it."
"After all, you have all listened to some rumors."
"Or you were deceived into coming here."
"You can be regarded as the backbone of your families."
"I hope you won't be so impulsive next time, huh."
"Believing in rumors…"
"What lecher…"
As he spoke.
Zhuge Lan himself lost confidence—
This daddy is the most affectionate in Douluo!
"It's getting late, those who don't have serious injuries can now go to the backstage to get some gold soul coins as a subsidy."
"After all, you have come from different places far away."
"Of course! Punishment is indispensable!"
"Music!"
With a flick of Zhuge Lan's finger.
In an instant.
Stage lights rose everywhere.
And the invincible brainwashing song rang out.
"You are my little apple."
"Like the most beautiful cloud in the sky."
The Soul Masters on the stage.
Knew they had escaped a disaster.
And finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Scared the baby to death.
Damn it.
I thought this life would end like this.
This Zhuge Lan.
Isn't as cruel as they said.
Oh no.
It's Lord Zhuge.
We came to smash the place.
Although we were taught a lesson, we were also pulled back from the gates of hell.
Now.
Not only are we not being pursued.
But we are also being given gold soul coins.
Reimbursing travel expenses.
It's simply repaying evil with virtue.
What kind of villain is this!
A saint!
This is a saint!
Everyone then began to fall into the little apple dance.
Zhuge Lan finished dealing with the matter on the stage.
And immediately turned to Bai Chenxiang's side.
At this time.
Bai Chenxiang had also gradually recovered after treatment.
Seeing Zhuge Lan rushing towards her anxiously.
She felt sweet in her heart.
"How is it?"
"Are you feeling better?"
Zhuge Lan asked Bai Chenxiang with a slightly anxious tone.
"Mm…"
"Much better."
Seeing that Bai Chenxiang was alright.
Huff—
Zhuge Lan also breathed a sigh of relief.
And hugged Bai Chenxiang in his arms.
Bai Chenxiang was once again pulled into Zhuge Lan's arms.
At this time, she could more deeply feel Zhuge Lan's powerful chest.
Giving her the feeling that she wanted time to stop forever at this moment.
In this ambiguous and subtle atmosphere.
Bai Chenxiang took the lead in breaking the silence.
She slowly sat up.
Leaving that warm embrace.
Those moving eyes also regained their former agility.
And sincerely confessed to Zhuge Lan.
"I'm sorry…"
"Because of the family, I had to join their alliance…"
Zhuge Lan didn't speak, just smiled and listened to her quietly.
The Speed Clan was originally one of the four single-attribute clans affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect.
The Speed Clan has lived in an ancient and mysterious castle for generations.
The castle is surrounded by dense forests, as if hiding countless unknown secrets.
The family has a unique martial soul inheritance, and their martial soul is called the Needletail Swift.
Because at the beginning.
When Tang Hao provoked the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect ignored it and directly avoided the world.
Hiding everything and not talking about it.
Using this to avoid the Spirit Hall's questioning.
However.
As the four major clans affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect.
They were subjected to long-term suppression by the Spirit Hall.
The people of the Spirit Hall could not find the Clear Sky Sect.
And could not get the statement they wanted.
So they started with the affiliated clans of the Clear Sky Sect.
Over the years.
The Speed Clan has become famous on the Douluo Continent with its agile speed and martial soul talent.
Becoming a force to be reckoned with.
The elders in the family.
Work diligently and carefully cultivate each generation of young descendants, hoping that they can continue to inherit the glory of the family.
But they were accused because the people of the Clear Sky Sect provoked the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall used its powerful appeal.
To win over some families who originally had disputes with the Speed Clan.
Let them join forces to suppress the Speed Clan.
There were even some neutral families.
Either they wanted to show their loyalty in front of the Spirit Hall.
Or they didn't dare to disobey the Spirit Hall's will.
All of them joined the ranks of confronting the four major families.
And then these four major families.
Due to the Clear Sky Sect's cowardly escape.
The Breaking Clan, one of the other three major clans.
Even defected and joined the Spirit Hall's subordinates.
