Chapter 169 The Domineering Elder Xuan
A violent surge of soul power emanated from the disheveled figure, and the earthy yellow soul power transformed into a shockwave that blasted out.
The hunchbacked old man reacted quickly, raising his left palm to form a hand blade, his fingernails gleaming with a ghostly black light, and streams of blood gushed from his palm, rapidly enveloping it.
A long, black and red whip, accompanied by an eerie whistling sound, was lashed out from the hunchbacked old man's left hand, and eight spirit rings rose behind him—four purple and four black.
The seemingly imposing black and red whip shattered instantly upon contact with the earth-yellow shockwave.
The shockwave continued its relentless advance, slamming into the hunchbacked old man and creating a ripple effect.
Xiao Ye No. 2 immediately revealed himself and clasped his hands together to condense a "Seven-Layer Floating Shield" to block in front of him.
"Elder Xuan! We're on the same side! Don't fire!" Little Ye No. 2 shouted, as two giant frost hands materialized behind him and braced against the ice shield in front of him.
The shockwave broke through five ice shields before dissipating.
Elder Xuan snorted coldly, clenched his fist, and the light in his eyes illuminated the entire alley, with the phantom of the Taotie Divine Ox appearing behind him.
Suddenly, the entire alley was filled with an earthy yellow light.
The immense, mountain-like soul force pressed down on the hunchbacked old man's back, causing his knees to buckle and he to kneel heavily on the ground, his knees slamming deep into the earth.
The alleyway was enveloped in a warm, earthy light, creating a small, independent world within it.
Little Leaf No. 2 peeked out from behind the ice shield, blinked, and turned to look at the light barrier around it that was radiating a strong soul power.
How did I get sucked in too? Aren't I an ally?
Old Master Xuan's disheveled hair fluttered slightly, his dazzling eyes devoid of any emotion. He walked slowly, and with each step, the hunchbacked old man's back bent even further.
"You filthy thing, who sent you here?" Elder Xuan asked in a cold voice.
The hunchbacked old man let out a low roar, and wisps of blackish-red steam rose from his body as he raised his head despite the oppressive aura emanating from Elder Xuan.
"I never expected to meet Taotie Douluo here. What could have made the renowned Taotie Douluo personally come here? Hehehehe." The hunchbacked old man wore a strange smile, seemingly unafraid of Elder Xuan.
Elder Xuan raised his right hand, the muscles in his arm bulging. "Then disappear!"
With a single palm strike, a massive handprint formed from soul power descended from the sky.
"You want my life? Not so easy!" The hunchbacked old man spread his arms, and the soul rings behind him merged into his body, causing his body to suddenly swell twice its size.
Strands of dark red blood energy coiled around the hunchbacked old man, who raised his hands and actually withstood the giant handprint of Elder Xuan.
Xiao Ye No. 2 narrowed his eyes slightly, and a deep blue imperial sword slowly emerged in his right hand. He exuded a strong chill, and an ice flower was faintly visible on his forehead.
"Hmph, it seems that the Gluttonous Douluo is nothing special after all?" The hunchbacked old man plunged his hands into the giant handprint, a maniacal smile on his face, and a semi-transparent stream of energy silently flowed from his body.
Upon seeing this, Elder Xuan had a thought and crushed the hunchbacked old man with his large handprint.
"Pathetic thing." Xuan Lao manipulated the giant handprint to obliterate the hunchbacked old man's body, leaving behind two gray soul guide iron pieces. He reached into his robes, pulled out a chicken leg bone, and looked at Xiao Ye No. 2.
Xiao Ye No. 2 waved his hand and unleashed a sword beam.
The crescent-shaped sword light slashed at a spot in the void.
A scream rang out, and a semi-transparent cloud of air was frozen by the dense cold air, slowly turning into ice that floated in the air.
Lightning flashed in Xuan Lao's eyes, striking the frozen ice and shattering the hunchbacked old man's soul.
"You've made progress, otherwise, you brat, you'd better wait until I drag you back to class." Elder Xuan reached out and threw a chicken leg bone, which hit Xiao Ye No. 2 on the head.
Little Ye No. 2 reached out and wiped the spot where he had been hit by the chicken leg bone, and smiled. He was a Remnant Ice Clone, so he wasn't afraid of chicken leg bones at all!
"Elder Xuan, what brings you here? Are you here to join in the fun?" Little Ye No. 2 asked, his frostiness dissipating.
Elder Xuan withdrew his soul power, restored the space he had temporarily created to normal, and slowly walked to the entrance of the alley. He said in a deep voice, "I'm not as free as you think. I was just afraid that you little rascals would cause me trouble again, so I came over in person."
"It's good that I'm here. I didn't expect you, you little fox, to run into evil spirit masters again. Are you their big chicken leg?" Elder Xuan said irritably.
To be described by Elder Xuan as his favorite chicken leg, wouldn't you say he's the number one in the academy?
Xiao Ye No. 2 smiled helplessly, walked to Elder Xuan's side, and said, "This is probably just a coincidence."
The Holy Cult of Evil Soul Masters' lair is located in the Demon Forest. Since Xingluo encountered Evil Soul Masters last time, the Shrek Academy's inspection team has intensified its crackdown on Evil Soul Masters. Led by several elders, they have almost completely eradicated the Evil Soul Master forces in the three great empires.
"What a coincidence. It seems you've had some bad luck and brought shame to the Nine-Tailed Fox lineage." Elder Xuan patted the wine gourd at his waist and took a sip of wine.
Xiao Ye No. 2 took a few deep breaths and muttered to himself, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Elder Xuan was scolding the main body, not me!"
Seeing Xiao Ye No. 2's aggrieved expression, Elder Xuan smiled faintly and said, "However, I will not allow anyone to bully the people of Shrek Academy!"
Looking towards the direction of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family, Elder Xuan said domineeringly, "Now that I'm here, young Xiao, go ahead and do it. I'll back you up!"
Xiao Ye No. 2 looked at Elder Xuan with slight surprise. Although the old drunkard in front of him was a bit slovenly, he was still very protective of his own.
A smile involuntarily crept up Xiao Ye No. 2's lips.
Elder Xuan tossed the two pieces of soul-guided iron he had previously acquired to Little Ye No. 2 and said to him, "These two pieces don't have any hidden tricks, so here you go. Do you still have any wine? Give me some more."
Xiao Ye No. 2 reached out and took the soul-guided iron pieces, examined them carefully, raised an eyebrow, and said, "These two iron pieces are actually high-grade storage soul-guided devices?"
After inspecting the items inside the soul guide iron piece, Xiao Ye No. 2's eyes turned into symbols of gold soul coins. He put away the soul guide iron piece, rubbed his hands together, and said, "It's just wine, of course no problem! There's still quite a lot at my main body. Elder Xuan, you can go and get it yourself when you have time."
"Alright!" Elder Xuan took a step forward and disappeared into the alley in the next instant.
"The old drunkard left pretty quickly, so I'll head back in a bit too." Little Ye No. 2 slowly walked back along the same route.
When passing by the teahouse again, two figures dressed in white robes and wearing masks caught Xiao Ye No. 2's attention.
"They look familiar," said Xiao Ye No. 2, staring at the two figures who had entered the teahouse.
Driven by his intuition, Xiao Ye No. 2 stepped into the teahouse once again.
On the other side, Ma Xiaotao's side.
Bathed in flames, Ma Xiaotao stared coldly at the old man before her. "It seems you are the Iron Blood Sect's backer."
"Little girl, this is Tian Dou City! I am a member of the Tian Hun royal family!" The old man in the white robe was furious, his eyes fixed on Ma Xiaotao, his soul power surging.
"Hmm," Ma Xiaotao responded faintly.
"You're causing trouble in my Heavenly Dou City. Don't you think you're putting the Heavenly Soul Royal Family in your eyes?" the old man said with a gloomy face.
"Okay, you can continue." Ma Xiaotao crossed her arms and looked calmly at the old man in front of her.
"You, don't be so presumptuous! Don't think that just because you're from Shrek Academy, I won't dare to make a move!" The old man's eyes widened in anger, eight spirit rings floated around his body, and his aura as a Soul Douluo pressed down on Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao was enveloped in phoenix flames, ignoring the imposing aura emanating from the old man.
She mentally calculated the time, then looked coldly at the old man with her phoenix eyes and recited the same rhetoric Ye Nanxiao had taught her: "The person is already dead. If you go over there later, you can still get some benefits. If you act now, you won't get any benefits."
Upon hearing this, the elderly man in the court robe remained silent for a moment before withdrawing his imposing manner.
Ma Xiaotao is right. Although he is a Soul Douluo, he is old and has little hope of becoming a Title Douluo in this lifetime. The offerings from the Heavenly Soul Royal Family are not enough for him to squander. Moreover, Tie Li, the sect leader of the Iron Blood Sect, is a very shrewd person who has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
"According to this little girl, it seems she's only here for revenge," the old man in the palace robe thought to himself.
"Heh." Ma Xiaotao sneered and flapped her wings, flying towards the Iron Blood Sect.
The white-robed elder was the backer of the Iron Blood Sect, but now he no longer takes action.
Tang Ya cried for a while, wiped away her tears, walked up to Ye Nanxiao, and bowed deeply. "Nanxiao, thank you so much, you've done me a great favor."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Nannan had already stepped forward and hugged Tang Ya.
Ye Nanxiao dodged Tang Ya's bow and said helplessly, "My lord, you've put me in a difficult position. I'm also a member of the Tang Clan."
"Yes, Xiaoya, we are family," Jiang Nannan said gently.
"Mmm!" Tears welled up in Tang Ya's eyes again as she hugged Jiang Nannan tightly.
"Hey," Ye Nanxiao said, walking up to Bei Bei, "is there anything else you want to take? If not, then leave. We still need to use the Iron Blood Sect's assets to keep quiet."
"How about we take the land deed?" Beibei asked.
"Let's forget about it, we won't need this land anyway." Ye Nanxiao shrugged.
Ma Xiaotao landed lightly on the ground, looked around, walked to Ye Nanxiao's side, and slapped Ye Nanxiao on the shoulder. "You finished so quickly? You didn't even leave a few for me to practice on."
Ye Nanxiao felt the pain in his shoulder, forced a smile, and said, "These are all nobody, so naturally there's no need for Sister Tao to help."
"Alright, we should go. People from Tianhun are here," Ma Xiaotao said.
"Let's go, Sect Master. Is there anything you want to take?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Tang Ya glanced around; the Tang Clan no longer resembled what she remembered.
Having avenged her great grudge, Tang Ya, though still nostalgic for the Tang Clan of the past, knew this place was no longer suitable for its development. She walked to Bei Bei's side, took her hand, and smiled, "That's all, let's go."
Seeing Tang Ya finally regain her usual smile, Bei Bei held Tang Ya's hand tightly and led her out of the Iron Blood Sect's gate.
"Can't we fly?" Ye Nanxiao asked, puzzled.
"Let's go." Jiang Nannan pulled Ye Nanxiao out the door.
"What am I doing here?" Ma Xiaotao sighed softly and followed the others.
