Chapter 3770: 3617
Days later!
Inside Pope Hall!
Evil Moon and the two others looked at Xu Sheng with eyes tinged with worry...
Finally, Hulena couldn't help but speak up to persuade him, "Xu Sheng, do you really have to go this time? Even if you stay in Pope Hall, the upper families wouldn't dare to do anything to you!"
Evil Moon and Flame wanted to say something as well, but the words were stuck in their throats...
Because they knew that even if they spoke, they couldn't change his decision!
Xu Sheng spoke softly to reassure them, "Nana, don't worry. With Jiang Long Douluo and Qianjun Douluo accompanying me, nothing will happen!"
Behind him, Jiang Long Douluo showed a disdainful expression, "It's just a trip to the imperial palace. Why make it out like it's a matter of life and death? Are all people from the Spirit Hall Golden Generation like this?"
"That's a bit too disappointing!!"
Everyone talks about how amazing the Spirit Hall Golden Generation is, but having seen them in person, there's nothing special!
After all, each of the guest elders in Worship Hall had talent and strength in their youth not inferior to theirs!
Qianjun Douluo, standing to the side, said helplessly, "Jiang Long, just keep your comments to yourself for once. We can't be careless on this trip to the imperial palace; Hao Tian Clan is likely to send out a number of strong fighters!"
This guy always had a habit of making unwelcome interjections—a fact that the Grand Elder had mentioned numerous times, yet nothing had changed!
Jiang Long Douluo lifted his chin proudly, "Tsk, so what? With our protection, those from the Hao Tian Clan are nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs!"
Although the Hao Tian Clan had several Titled Douluos, he didn't believe they would be willing to dispatch them all!
Otherwise, they're really too bold!!
…
With that thought, the fifth soul ring beneath Zhang Huanyun's feet lit up…
"Fifth Soul Skill, Light of Mirror Annihilation!"
In an instant, the mirrors behind him split at an alarming speed and moved to eight positions around him, encircling Ghost Emperor in the center…
And as his soul power continued to pour in, the mirror surfaces began to gather a pale golden light, which after many compressions and condensations, started to emit a heart-palpitating force…
With a wave of his right hand, these light spheres, filled with a destructive aura, directly targeted Ghost Emperor, erupting from all sides…
Each precise hit triggered explosion after explosion…
Looking at the dispersing Black Mist, Zhang Huanyun's expression turned grave as he said, "Did it work?"
But as the mist cleared, what was revealed was an unharmed Ghost Emperor standing in the center…
Faintly visible, there was a blood-red barrier formed around him, which had warded off all the impacts from the multiple explosions!
Ghost Emperor glanced coldly at Zhang Huanyun and sneered, "Thinking you could interrupt me was far too simple!"
As he spoke, below him, the hundreds of souls that had been forcibly extracted from the ground flew up again and merged back into his body…
His whole aura had reached an extremely terrifying level…
Seeing that his opponent was about to slip out of his control, Zhang Huanyun gritted his teeth and said, "No choice then, seventh soul skill, True Mirror Body!!"
His seventh soul ring lit up…
It could be seen that what should have been his Mirror Martial Soul behind him had rapidly transformed into a clone that looked exactly like him…
It even possessed the same soul rings!
Following that, he and the clone beside him exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Ninth soul skill, Mirror Space!!"
The two crimson hundred-thousand-year soul rings lit up...
The space around them was instantly solidified by an invisible force, and then, the scene changed...
The two of them, who should have been above the battlefield, now found themselves at the center of a huge tetrahedral prism, surrounded and sealed by reflective surfaces...
The most powerful aspect of being inside this Mirror Space was that all living creatures within it, including their bodies, Martial Souls, and spiritual power, were immobilized, unable to react...
Of course, Zhang Huanyun, the caster of this soul skill, was also subject to its effects!
However, this was exactly his intention!
To isolate the Ghost Emperor from real space, preventing him from continuing to absorb the souls of the deceased Soul Masters on the battlefield!!
The immobilized Ghost Emperor, with a cold gaze, fixated on Zhang Huanyun before him, said in a chilly voice, "All you are doing is needlessly wasting your Soul Power!"
Once the time passed, and he would leave this Mirror Space, still no one could stop him!!
Zhang Huanyun's lips trembled slightly as he quietly said, "Even so, I must fight to buy enough time for Blood One and the others!"
"After all, as long as my Soul Power is not exhausted, no one can leave the Mirror Space!"
...
After arriving at the Blood God Camp's hall!
Blood Seven, who was the first to see them, said with a sour tone, "Yo, Wulin, bringing your little girlfriend over for a visit again? But I still have to say, she's not a member of the Blood God Camp!"
Blood Five, standing beside him, gave him a push and chuckled, "Gu Yue, don't listen to him. You can come over anytime you want, even though you haven't joined the Blood God Camp, we already consider you one of our own!"
Blood Three was also leisurely looking at the well-matched couple, saying, "Speaking of which... what's the status between Wulin and Gu Yue? Got a little baby yet?"
However, Tang Wulin was in no mood to listen to their teasing, urgently saying, "Everyone, where's Blood One? I have something very important to tell him!"
Seeing his serious expression, the Blood Gods also became solemn...
Blood Three answered, "Blood One is not here at the Blood God Camp right now, don't know where he's gone. What do you need him for?"
Tang Wulin immediately spoke, "Our Blood God Army has been surrounded by the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters, and moreover, they might launch an attack simultaneously with the Abyssal Tide!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Blood Seven flatly denied it, "How could that be? The abyssal creatures are so quiet right now; there's no sign that they're about to attack!"
Blood Six nodded in agreement, "Right, Wulin. You're not having hallucinations from the pressure lately, are you?"
Blood Eight pursed her lips, "The Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters should still be in the Xingluo Empire right now; how could they possibly come to this remote place?"
Although they disagreed, the more rational Blood Three still pressed for evidence, "Wulin, do you have any proof?"
Gu Yue, who was standing beside, suddenly spoke out of the blue, "It was I who told Wulin that the Blood God Army was surrounded by the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters!"
"As for the evidence, it comes from the confidence in my own perception!"
Blood Three was taken aback for a moment, then laughed awkwardly, "Gu Yue, you... could you be mistaken in your perception? If there really were Evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult lurking around, Blood One should have been able to detect it first!"
"I'm not wrong," her tone infused with undeniable certainty...
"What are you all discussing here? It seems intense!"
Indeed, having finished his tasks, Blood Two had just returned to the Blood God Camp's hall...
Seeing him, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Blood Two, you're just in time. Please, notify Blood One right away that the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters have already surrounded the Blood God Army!"
