Chapter 254: Summoning Soul Masters and Soldiers! (Subscribe Please)_1
The next day, Clear Sky Sect Disciples who had previously rallied Soul Masters and civilians began furiously spreading the news...
Within the Martial Soul Empire!
In eateries, taverns, even within the Martial Soul Hall! Nearly everywhere, the discussions of Soul Masters and civilians echoed!
Eateries...
A man whispered to the customers beside him, "Hey, have you heard? It's said that some people want to rebel against the rule of the Martial Soul Hall!"
Upon hearing this, the nearby customers grew excited, "I've heard it too! They say there are even six Ultimate Douluo with soul power rank level 99 leading the charge!! I've been sick of the Martial Soul Hall for a long time!"
Another person chimed in, "Exactly, exactly, why should we Soul Masters be on the same level as civilians? Soul Masters used to be so honorable, not like now, worse than dogs!"
A man with a slightly dark countenance slammed his fist on the table, "If it were only that, it would be fine, but the Martial Soul Hall is also dictatorial! Every now and then, they seize all valuable possessions from Soul Masters and former nobility with high incomes, saying it's for the sake of equality! Pah!"
...
Taverns...
Several beautiful ladies were gathered around a handsome man, who scanned the surroundings before whispering cautiously, "Between us, you mustn't tell anyone else! There will be six Ultimate Douluo leading us to rebel against the Martial Soul Hall in a few days!"
One of the ladies covered her mouth in surprise, "What? Are you sure about this?"
The handsome man patted his chest, "Of course, the information is reliable! This was told to me by a Clear Sky Sect Disciple left over from the past!"
Another lady with beautiful eyes tossed her hair in shock, "So it turns out the Clear Sky Sect wasn't annihilated by the Martial Soul Hall!"
The handsome man nodded, "Certainly, the Clear Sky Sect isn't so easily dealt with, and I bet the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, one of the formerly upper three families, is also waiting for this chance to have deliberately submitted to the Martial Soul Hall!"
Even the waitress standing by listened with keen interest, her face showing surprise!
There would actually be six Ultimate Douluo leading a rebellion against the Martial Soul Hall, she must tell her friends about this!
...
Martial Soul Hall...
A Martial Soul Hall guard hissed, "Do you know, in a few days, six Ultimate Douluo will lead countless Soul Masters to attack the Martial Soul Hall!"
The guard beside him nodded hurriedly, "I've heard too, it seems the whole Martial Soul Empire is buzzing with this news, should we even stay at the Martial Soul Hall any longer?"
His colleague, increasingly irritated, retorted, "Stay for what, stay? Do you think the Martial Soul Hall is the same as before? Even us guards aren't treated as well as civilians! Anyway, I support this cause!"
"I support it too, how about we make a run for it while we can?"
"Let's do just that! Who wants to work for this crappy Martial Soul Hall, gaining nothing!"
...
Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside Pope Hall was oppressively tense!
Bi Bidong's icy gaze was fixed on the Elders of the Martial Soul Hall below, her voice cold, "You have come to tell me about the rumor that six Ultimate Douluo are planning to attack the Martial Soul Hall spreading recently within the Martial Soul Empire, haven't you?"
With a bit of thought, the so-called six Ultimate Douluo seemed utterly impossible, three years ago the entire Continent had only a handful of Title Douluo, yet suddenly, three years later, six Ultimate Douluo appeared!
Ultimate Douluo, second only to the Gods themselves in strength, weren't something you could find just anywhere!
How could they appear so easily!
The Red-robed Guardian, enduring the pressure released by Bi Bidong, spoke first, "Your Holiness, I have summoned the Elders here to discuss this very matter!"
Bi Bidong asked with a chilly tone, "Then let me ask you, do you believe this rumor about the six Ultimate Douluo?"
The Red-robed Guardian's expression turned sour, "Although we cannot be completely certain, I feel that Your Holiness, we should prepare ourselves!"
Citun also bowed, supporting the claim, "Your Holiness, I also think the Guardian makes sense, whether it's true or not, these rumors must have some basis!"
Snake Spear bowed, his face full of reverence, "We must treat this matter with the utmost caution, Your Holiness!"
If just a few rumors could make the Martial Soul Empire so restless in days, there must be many Soul Masters who were dissatisfied with the Martial Soul Hall over the years. If Bi Bidong didn't handle this properly, the Martial Soul Hall might lose the hard-earned prestige it had established!
Bi Bidong once more asked with an icy tone, "I'm asking, do you believe that six Ultimate Douluo will attack the Martial Soul Hall?"
The Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls all shivered and gave each other a glance before lowering their heads in silence…
"Since even you do not believe in the existence of six Ultimate Douluos, what's the point of this discussion? Stand down!" Bi Bidong commanded.
With that, Bi Bidong slowly closed her eyes, showing no interest in further discussion…
"Yes, Your Holiness!" said the Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls, their complexions pallid, as they left the interior of the Pope Hall…
They all felt an ominous premonition deep in their hearts this day…
Only after the Elders of Martial Soul Hall had left did Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes slowly open, shimmering with light…
Even if six Ultimate Douluo Elders were to attack the Martial Soul Hall, she had absolute confidence that she could kill them all!
The gap between a God and an Ultimate Douluo is insurmountable!
…
As night fell quietly…
The Martial Soul Empire was teeming at this moment, as innumerable Soul Masters and civilians spilled onto the streets, rushing out of the empire overnight…
These people leaving the Martial Soul Empire were clearly dissatisfied with the strategy of the Martial Soul Hall!
The sheer number of people was too great, and there were many Soul Masters among them; thus, the flimsy guards of the Martial Soul Hall could hardly stop them and were breached in minutes…
Soul Masters and civilians snaked towards a certain location like a long dragon…
…
At a station some distance away from the Martial Soul Empire!
Countless disciples of the Clear Sky Clan and Sea Soul Masters stood holding torches, receiving the steady flow of Soul Masters and soldiers arriving from the Martial Soul Empire!
A disciple of the Clear Sky Clan reported excitedly to Tang Chen, "Sect Master! Nearly half of the Soul Masters and civilians, soldiers included, are hastening our way from the Martial Soul Empire!"
Another disciple from the Clear Sky Clan chimed in, "That's right! Even those of Soul Sage and Soul Douluo level from the Martial Soul Hall have chosen to join us!"
Stroking his beard, Tang Chen said with emotion, "Very well! It seems this success owes much to His Holiness's strategy that all men are created equal!"
Had it not been for this policy that alienated the Soul Masters and soldiers of the Martial Soul Empire, it wouldn't have been so easy to attract them!
Meanwhile, Tang San and the other six looked forward to the joining forces of Soul Masters and soldiers, smiles of anticipation on their faces!
Ma Hongjun took a deep breath, his tone impassioned, "This is perfect! It seems we can truly wipe out the Martial Soul Hall once and for all!"
Dai Mubai's lips curled up slightly, brimming with confidence, "Unless something unexpected occurs, victory is certain! We aren't just any Ultimate Douluos, we are six Gods!"
Zhu Zhuqing, hearing this, pinched his arm fiercely, her tone icy, "Gods?"
Dai Mubai grimaced as if in pain, "Ouch… Zhuqing, be gentle; even gods occasionally fear pain."
Ma Hongjun, having had his fill of this display of affection, turned his head away, grumbling, "Ugh, showing off again!"
Oscar released his Martial Soul and instantly created ten sausages, offering them to the other Shrek members, "Come on, let's celebrate our success with some sausages!"
This only earned him the scorn and disdain of the others: "Pssh…"
Dai Mubai joked mischievously, "You know, Oscar, maybe you should save your great sausages for the tired Soul Masters on the road."
"Pssh, you just don't appreciate good food!" Oscar muttered, then he really did follow Dai Mubai's suggestion, handing them out to the weary Soul Masters and civilians on the road.
Ning Rongrong sighed wistfully, "It's just that I wonder how dad and Sword Grandpa are doing."
Xiaowu, by her side consoled, "Rongrong, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are so powerful, they'll be fine!"
Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement, "Yes!"
At the very front, Tang San's gaze was locked onto the horizon.
Suddenly, he thought of Tang Hao and Flander, among others…
He clenched his fists tightly and declared coldly, "Martial Soul Hall in three days, it will be your end!"
