Chapter 154 I am the Second Sect Master of the Haotian Sect!
"Wait for me to come back!"
Before he finished speaking, the cold, bright moon above his head suddenly shone with dazzling light, and the power of space surged violently.
His figure blurred instantly, and the next moment he completely merged into the moonlight, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a faint ripple in the space that slowly spread out from where he stood.
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
From Kong Deming easily trapping the renowned Taotie Douluo to him taking away the powerful soul tool without warning and then breaking through the void to leave, everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Xuanzi was a level 98 Super Douluo, a being standing at the pinnacle of the continent, yet he was utterly powerless against Kong Deming.
Now that Kong Deming has left, Xuanzi has vanished without a trace, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead.
Although many people do not believe that a level 98 Super Douluo could be killed so easily, the facts are clear: whether Xuanzi is alive or dead, it demonstrates Kong Deming's strength.
Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo stood atop the city wall, his fingers gripping the cold bricks tightly.
While he felt a sense of satisfaction at seeing Xuanzi being tortured, the strength that Kong Deming displayed far exceeded his expectations.
The emergence of such a powerful figure in the Sun and Moon Empire has undoubtedly disrupted the balance of power on the continent.
He looked in the direction where Kong Xuan had been led away and asked, "Do you think Xuanzi is alive or dead?"
Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo who had been beaten by Xuanzi, had a glint in his eyes: "A level 98 Super Douluo wouldn't fall so easily. This Kong Deming is obviously a space-attribute Soul Master, and he has most likely taken Xuanzi into his own hands."
The Mighty Douluo Cheng Gang agreed, saying, "I think so too. Moreover, if Xuanzi is killed, then Sun Moon will be going to war with Shrek Academy. Even if Kong Deming is very strong, he probably won't make this decision easily."
Xu Jiawei nodded upon hearing this and said to Dai Hao, "Brother, it seems that your responsibilities are about to increase."
Dai Hao understood his meaning and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as I am still here, I will not allow Riyue to cross the border alone."
Inside the rest area, the Shrek members looked at each other, filled with surprise and uncertainty.
The disappearance of Elder Xuan cast a deep shadow over everyone's hearts.
To say that the defeat in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament was just a simple defeat...
The defeat and disappearance of Elder Xuan at this moment may be the beginning of Shrek Academy's decline.
These students, all under twenty years old, were thrown into a panic by the sight of their classmates injured and their mentors missing.
They all turned their attention to Wang Yan, who was merely a teacher with the cultivation level of a Soul King, but had now become their pillar of support.
Wang Yan took a deep breath to calm himself down. He hadn't expected that he would have to take charge again, but this time the situation seemed to be even more serious.
"Take care of the wounded first, and contact Xingluo's people to treat them as soon as possible."
"Don't panic, wait for them to come back."
The match had already ended, but the spectators in Xingluo Square were unwilling to leave.
They're still waiting to see what happens next!
...
A little while later, Kong Xuan was taken away from Xingluo Square by the mysterious man in black robes, and they sped away from Xingluo City in the blink of an eye.
The wind suddenly stopped, and the surrounding scenery froze from the blurry, flowing shadows.
This is a secluded valley rarely visited by people, surrounded by steep cliffs and craggy rocks.
A faint mist with a strange, sweet, fishy smell permeated the valley floor, obscuring most of the sunlight and making it appear cold and damp.
Only a few pale rays of light struggled to penetrate through the cracks in the rocks, illuminating some dark purple, previously unseen moss-like plants on the ground.
Kong Xuan landed steadily on his feet. He quickly scanned his surroundings, his enhanced vision and sense of smell allowing him to take in everything around him.
His gaze finally settled on the black-robed man in front of him, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a kind of scrutinizing curiosity.
The man in black robes was surprised by Kong Xuan's composure and laughed, "You're not afraid of me at all?"
Kong Xuan chuckled and retorted, "Would being afraid do any good? What's the point of me resisting when a Super Douluo like you is targeting a Soul King like me?"
"hey-hey!"
The other person chuckled and said, "Interesting. It seems you are indeed no ordinary person."
The other party raised his hand and ripped off the black cloak that concealed his appearance and figure, revealing a gray robe underneath. At this moment, Kong Xuan could also see the other party's face clearly.
He was middle-aged, handsome, tall and strong, and had short hair.
Kong Xuan searched his mind for powerful figures on the continent who met the criteria. Since this was his first time leaving Sun Moon, there were only a few forces that would dare to attack him.
Shrek Academy?
Holy Spirit Cult?
Or is it the Body Sect?
Obviously not!
"Although I would never stoop to bullying the weak, I had no choice but to obey the order given by that person."
The man suddenly spoke, as if he were defending his actions.
When these words reached Kong Xuan's ears, a flash of inspiration struck him, and another idea instantly popped into his mind.
"Haotian Sect?!"
Kong Xuan blurted out, and although the other person's slightly stunned look only lasted for a moment, Kong Xuan still accurately caught it.
He knew he had guessed correctly.
There are only a handful of Super Douluo on the mainland these days, and even fewer as young as him.
Kong Xuan also confirmed his guess through the "person" mentioned by him.
If nothing unexpected happens, he knows that he has already been noticed by Tang Shenwang.
"I wonder which of the two sect leaders of the Haotian Sect you are, senior? Niu Tian or Titan?"
Kong Xuan looked up at the other person with a slight tilt of his head. His tone was surprisingly calm, even giving the impression of eagerness.
Titan's expression also turned serious: "It seems you do have some knowledge; you actually know so much!"
When Tang San issued the divine decree, Titan ultimately snatched the mission from his elder brother Niu Tian.
After arriving in Xingluo, he did not make a move rashly, but instead hid in the audience and observed secretly.
It wasn't until the final battle, when Xuanzi and Kong Deming were fighting, that he finally intervened.
As he took Kong Xuan away, he was still smugly pleased with himself, thinking that his decision was incredibly clever.
When I return to the Haotian Sect after the mission, I must have a good talk with my elder brother about my actions this time, so that he won't say that I acted recklessly in the future.
Titan stood with his hands behind his back, puffed out his chest, and said, "Since I've been recognized, there's no need to hide it anymore. I am Titan, the Second Sect Master of the Haotian Sect!"
Kong Xuan thought to himself, "Sure enough, the image matches my impression. Niu Tian should have long hair."
"Senior captured me, so it seems you've already received a divine decree?"
Kong Xuan's words finally made Titan's expression change.
His words were merely a test.
Now that Tang San has come looking for him, he can't avoid it and has no choice but to deal with it proactively.
If we can get more information from Titan, that would be even better!
