Watching the sudden appearance of Gu Rong and the others, Yu Yuanzhen's movements stiffened. To be honest, even seeing Gu Rong with his own eyes, he still found it difficult to believe.
After all, if his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was in such a state, what about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan? What kind of scene would it be there? But hearing Gu Rong's words, Yu Yuanzhen understood instantly, and a touch of warmth filled his heart.
The saying that the Upper Three Sects were as close as brothers had seemed like a joke ever since the Clear Sky Clan went into seclusion. However, only those who truly knew Gu Rong understood that the two of them, both possessing dragon martial souls, had once been very good friends. It was only because Gu Rong had received Ning Fengzhi's great kindness to break through Rank 90 that he joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Due to their different affiliations, their interactions gradually decreased, but Gu Rong's words evoked their past experiences, as if they were back in their high-spirited youth.
Seeing Gu Rong bring four Titled Douluos and that terrifying monster Gu Xuan, Yu Yuanzhen deactivated his Martial Soul Avatar. When he looked at those four Titled Douluos, he became even more incredulous. These four were people from Spirit Hall! How could they follow Gu Rong to rescue his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
In an instant, Yu Yuanzhen thought of a possibility. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had not only repelled the invading enemies but had defeated and recruited Spirit Hall's people! Since when was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan so terrifying? A few years ago, the fact that they produced another Titled Douluo was enough to surprise him, but now they had such power?
One could tell from the four former Spirit Hall Titled Douluos that the force attacking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was certainly not smaller than the one invading his own clan. Yet despite that, how much time had passed? The reinforcements from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had already arrived. To defeat and recruit the invaders in such a short time, just how powerful had the clan become? Moreover, he sensed Gu Rong's energy fluctuations just now. It was no longer at the Rank 95 level, but far beyond his own strength.
Yu Yuanzhen stood dazed for a moment, and finally, only one sentence remained. "Old Bone Dragon... thank you."
Gu Rong laughed heartily, waving his hand dismissively before turning his gaze toward Gu Xuan. "Watch my grandson show his divine might!"
At this moment, the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos had been forced to deactivate their martial soul fusion skill to block Gu Xuan's eighth soul skill, each erupting with their Martial Soul Avatars. Meanwhile, the other three Spirit Hall Titled Douluos were blocked by Ghost Leopard Douluo and his companions, leaving them incensed!
"Elder Ghost Leopard! What are you doing?! Why betray the Pope?" one of the Titled Douluos questioned.
Ghost Leopard Douluo and the others looked troubled. Remembering their past service to Spirit Hall, he offered a reminder. "The strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is not as simple as it appears on the surface. We were wiped out before even entering the mountain gate."
"Spirit Hall's momentum is gone. The Sect Master said only the ringleaders will be executed. Everyone... leave the darkness for the light. We were colleagues before; there is no harm in working together now."
Hearing Ghost Leopard Douluo's words, the expressions of the three Spirit Hall Titled Douluos turned grave. They looked toward Snake Lance, Porcupine, and Spirit Kite Douluo, finding the three of them nodding repeatedly. They were not Bibi Dong's die-hard loyalists; they were merely following orders. Since the tide had turned, defecting was a matter of common sense. Now they were three against four, with Gu Rong and Yu Yuanzhen watching like tigers, and the eight soul rings floating around that young man were far too terrifying.
Gu Xuan was completely suppressing the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos with his eight rings. After hesitating for a long time, the three Spirit Hall Titled Douluos also deactivated their Martial Soul Avatars, willingly allowing themselves to be captured by Ghost Leopard Douluo and the others. They were colleagues, after all, and there was no need to kick them while they were down. Since they surrendered voluntarily and had the others to speak for them, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan likely wouldn't discard the combat power of three Titled Douluos.
The three were captured but not mistreated. Their eyes turned toward the confrontation between Gu Xuan and the Chrysanthemum and Ghost duo.
After blocking Gu Xuan's eighth soul skill, the two released their Martial Soul Avatars to contend with him. Gu Xuan only had his martial soul possession active, but with mental and physical strength already reaching the Rank 99 Peerless Douluo level, he was more than a match for them even without his own Avatar.
The reason Gu Xuan attacked was to show Yu Yuanzhen something—Soul Spirits!
Gu Xuan looked down upon the two from the void. A light flashed from his red and blue eyes, transforming into a thirty-meter-long azure dragon soul and a thirty-meter-long dark red orca!
"Roar!"
"!"
The moment Gu Xuan's two Soul Spirits appeared, the terrifying majesty of a hundred-thousand-year soul beasts pressed directly toward the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos. Primal beast authority surged!
"What are these things?! Two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts?!" The two were terrified, sensing the pressure from the Azure Sky Bull Python and the Evil Spirit Orca King. How could two such beasts submit to a human?
Yu Yuanzhen, Ghost Leopard Douluo, and the others were also extremely surprised. The pressure of hundred-thousand-year beasts couldn't be faked, but why would they yield to Gu Xuan? Could humans truly enslave soul beasts? And top-tier overlords at that, comparable to Titled Douluos?
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen's shocked expression, Gu Rong smiled slightly. "These are called Soul Spirits. It is a new way Xuan'er developed to reach a contract with soul beasts. It is a win-win for both humans and beasts. I will explain it slowly to you in the future."
Yu Yuanzhen became even more confused. Having cultivated for decades to reach Rank 95, standing at the pinnacle of the Soul Master world, he had never heard of such a thing. But looking at the two Soul Spirits guarding Gu Xuan, he felt a sense of anticipation.
At this time, the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos also noticed something. Though the beasts radiated terrifying pressure, they had no physical forms; they were entirely spiritual. Lacking knowledge of the Soul Spirit method, they had a suspicion. Since there were no physical bodies, could this be an illusion simulated by a soul bone? Possessing only pressure but not the actual strength of a hundred-thousand-year beast?
Their guess wasn't entirely baseless. After all, Qian Renxue could perfectly disguise herself using soul bone skills; it wasn't impossible for Gu Xuan to have such an ability. Yet even so, they didn't dare move. They had noticed when Ghost Leopard Douluo captured the other three. Even if they didn't know why the four had betrayed the Pope, they now faced the monster Gu Xuan, while Gu Rong, Yu Yuanzhen, and four 'traitors' watched them like tigers. Even as Rank 95s, they would only be on the receiving end of a beating.
However, Gu Xuan didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, nor did he give them a chance to surrender. After releasing the Bull Python and the Orca King, he spoke softly. "Let me see your current improvements."
The two Soul Spirits locked onto the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos, respectively, and launched their attacks!
"Slowing Domain!"
"Orca Domain!"
The domains of the two Soul Spirits opened, instantly locking onto the duo. Simultaneously, they erupted with powerful attacks!
"Azure Sky Annihilating Thunder!"
"Orca Shattering Tooth Slash!"
Sensing the pressure of the domains and the power of attacks comparable to a Titled Douluo's ninth soul skill, the two were horrified! This wasn't an illusion? These were real hundred-thousand-year soul beasts?!
"What? This is impossible?!" The two cried out at once, but their movements were not slow. If they were slow, there would be only one ending—death.
