A few seconds after they left, Wang Yan waved his hand and followed with the reserve team.
On the reserve team side, Zhao Xin walked in the front without any hesitation, while Ma Xiaotao was at the back. After all, their main task was to assist the seniors in the inner courtyard, and protecting themselves was the most important thing. Meng Qingjia and Dai Yaoheng were on the left and right sides respectively under the command of Wang Yan. Ling Luochen, Gong Yangmo and Chen Zifeng walked in the middle with Wang Yan, after all, they were auxiliary and control spirit masters.
Soon, they arrived at the cave that the man had mentioned earlier. Wang Dengke and the other seven had all disappeared, but there was still no sound.
Wang Yan whispered, "We'll go down too. Zhao Xin, get ready for battle."
"Yes." Zhao Xin did not dare to neglect it, and quickly released his dragon bear martial spirit, and was the first to go down the side of the hill. Soon, they saw a cave covered with a lot of vines and curtains. Undoubtedly, this was the thieves' den.
There were two soul masters lying at the entrance of the cave. Their identities as evil soul masters had undoubtedly been confirmed. Wang Dengke and his men began to take action.
At this moment, a dull explosion sounded from the cave, followed by noisy shouts and curses, as well as muffled sounds and strong soul power fluctuations.
Zhao Xin turned his head and looked at Wang Yan. Wang Yan said in a deep voice, "Go in, everyone be careful."
The entrance to the cave is not big, but it is very spacious inside. In addition to the corpse at the entrance, another corpse appeared after walking nearly fifty meters inside.
A strong smell of blood hit them in the face. Except for Zhao Xin, who looked normal, the others all looked pale. As they continued forward, the sounds of fighting inside became more intense.
The terrain ahead suddenly opened up, and they finally saw the battle going on. The soul rings were shining brightly, and it was a bit dazzling. Wang Dengke and Mu Xuhui were suppressing the soul king on the opposite side, and the others were almost no match for him. The bodies of the bandits were scattered all around.
Huang Panyi stood in the center, the nine-colored peacock light shining, and colorful rays of light continuously shot out from her body and fell on her companions, while others also vaguely surrounded her in the middle.
Xiang Ze'en and Jin Lingyu stayed by Huang Panyi's side, not leaving her side. The three of them did not directly participate in the attack. However, if anyone thought they were easy to deal with, they were wrong.
The seven or eight bandits who were still able to fight had bloodshot eyes. Most of them were three-ring soul masters, and there were even two soul masters. However, facing the disciples from the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, they were killed and defeated.
Huang Panyi's powerful auxiliary ability was undoubtedly demonstrated at this moment. Not to mention the two who were already Soul Emperors, Xie Yun and Yu Yihao, whose cultivation was not yet at the Soul Emperor level, were not inferior to Soul Emperors in combat power under his enhancement.
"Puff" Xie Yun suddenly appeared behind an evil soul master at the Soul Sect level, clasped his hands together above his head, and his fourth soul ring shone, splitting the soul master in front of him into two halves.
According to intelligence, the bandit leader is the Soul King who was suppressed by Wang Dengke and Mu Xuhui. Seeing that the situation was already decided, Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go ahead. Don't let anyone go. To prevent future troubles."
The enemy in front of them was not that strong, and the inner courtyard disciples also left a few evil soul masters for them to practice with. Zhao Xin was the first to rush up and easily stopped an evil soul master. Meng Qingjia, with the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, and Dai Yuheng blocked an evil soul master together. Because it was the first time to face an evil soul master, although the number and soul power level were higher than the opponent, the three of them could only slowly stalemate in the face of the evil soul master's strange attack.
Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen fought against the remaining evil soul master. The power of ice and fire made the evil soul master they faced suffer a fate worse than death. Gong Yangmo followed Wang Yan to provide assistance to the reserve team.
"Be careful--" Zhao Xin yelled, and appeared in front of Ma Xiaotao. It turned out that the evil soul master opposite them saw that he could not beat Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, so he took advantage of the two's inattention and endured the phoenix flames. He came in front of Ma Xiaotao, and his body grew and turned red at an alarming speed under the effect of the soul skills.
A huge "boom" sound erupted in the cave, and blood and flesh flew everywhere in the cave.
"Zhao Xin!" Ma Xiaotao screamed, her eyes turning red.
"Ahem, I'm fine." Zhao Xin's voice came from the center of the explosion.
Seeing Zhao Xin's tall figure appear, Ma Xiaotao suddenly pounced on him and hugged Zhao Xin, completely ignoring the blood on his body.
"I was scared to death." Ma Xiaotao's voice was trembling, as if she was about to cry.
"Zhao Xin, are you okay?" Wang Yan ran to Zhao Xin and hurried to check on him.
After hearing Wang Yan's words, Ma Xiaotao blushed and let go of Zhao Xin, looking him up and down.
Zhao Xin chuckled and said, "I'm fine. I used my soul skills to defend against the explosion."
"That's good."
After hearing the explosion, the people in the inner courtyard stopped playing with the evil soul master in front of them. They used powerful soul skills one after another and quickly dealt with the opponents.
"Well, although you have solved the evil soul masters this time, I still have to criticize you. First of all, in the inner courtyard, it was so difficult for a group of Soul Kings and Soul Emperors to solve a group of evil soul masters. Don't you understand such a simple truth that a lion should go all out to fight a rabbit? If you had solved the evil soul masters quickly, would there still be self-destruction incidents? And classmate Ma Xiaotao, you dared to be distracted while fighting the evil soul masters. If it weren't for Zhao Xin, you would have died." Old Xuan suddenly appeared in front of everyone and scolded them.
After hearing what Master Xuan said, the students all lowered their heads, especially the inner courtyard students and Ma Xiaotao.
"You'll be whipped next time you do it again."
Old Xuan disappeared in a flash while gnawing on a chicken leg. After the group dug a pit and buried the dead evil soul master, they took a short rest and then set off again.
They didn't encounter any problems on the rest of the journey. After a long journey, they arrived at their destination - Tiandou City.
Tiandou City.
Tiandou City is the capital of the Tianhun Empire and one of the most prosperous cities on the Douluo Continent, with extremely prosperous politics, economy, and culture.
The city wall is simple and majestic, and the rocks used to build it are carved with intricate patterns, making it look ancient and mysterious. At this time, the sunset glow has appeared in the distant sky, and the red clouds seen from outside the city make Tiandou City look like a layer of red gold, which is particularly gorgeous.
The interior of Tiandou City is extremely prosperous, with people bustling about on the wide roads.
The stalls on the street were all lit with candles or lanterns, and the buildings on both sides were full of ancient feeling. It was hard to see the influence of soul guide technology on this city.
Armoured troops were patrolling the streets to maintain discipline.
The number of tourists in Tiandou City increased dramatically in just half a month. Almost all hotels were full, forcing the government to requisition some houses and open up some official residences as temporary residences for tourists.
There is only one reason for such a big change. The once-in-five-years event, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, will be held in Tiandou City.
You know, there are four empires on the continent, and the high-level soul master academy soul fighting competitions across the continent are held in the imperial capitals of each country in turn. Therefore, Tiandou City has to wait for twenty years to have its turn. How can such a grand event not attract people from all walks of life to come and watch?
The venue of the competition was Tiandou Square in front of Tiandou Imperial City. Tiandou Square was very large and could accommodate the largest number of spectators. It was said that 30,000 soldiers were mobilized in the city to maintain order, and 10,000 of them were responsible for guarding Tiandou Square.
Very close to Tiandou Square, there is a hotel with classical decoration. This hotel is called Tianhun Royal Hotel, and the ownership of the hotel belongs to the royal family of the Tianhun Empire.
This hotel was also specially used to receive contestants from advanced soul master academies or soul mentor students from various countries. As the defending champion and the number one soul master academy on the continent, the contestants from Shrek Academy were warmly welcomed by the Sky Soul Royal Hotel.
