Chapter 2523 Scare_1

As the soul masters of Spirit Hall disappeared from sight, Old Jack couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, "Phew...finally, they've left. However, by the look of it, they seem to bear no malice towards Xu Sheng. Maybe, just maybe, the kid could receive some decent mentoring!"

To be honest, the thought of gambling a child's life to save the village did weigh heavily on his conscience...

At that moment, Tang San, standing beside him, hesitated before speaking, "Chief Jack, I'm afraid those soul masters from the Hall of Martial Souls don't seem like the type to leave so easily!"

Just now, he had detected a dense killing intent in the eyes of the man known as Ghost Douluo!

Old Jack shot him a glance, "You child, why do you always think the worst? But...just to be safe, we indeed need to have the villagers leave immediately!"

Afterall, from what the soul masters had revealed, Xu Sheng was extremely talented. In order to prevent any leaks, it was quite possible...

With this thought, he immediately turned to the other villagers who had just managed to regain their composure...

Leaning on his cane, he said word by word, "Everyone, for the sake of everyone's safety, it's best to leave Holy Soul Village as soon as possible!"

The villagers looked at each other, obviously a bit confused, but considering the actions of Spirit Hall earlier that day, they all nodded in agreement, choosing to follow his suggestion...

After a brief discussion, they began preparations to leave Holy Soul Village...

At this time, Tang San couldn't help but ask, "Chief Jack, from what you've just said, it seems you have no intention of leaving?"

Old Jack sighed and shook his head, "I'll be staying. I...can't bear to leave this village."

Tang San pursed his lips, "If that's the case, Grandpa Jack, I should head back now to inform my father about this situation."

Whether to leave Holy Soul Village or not is not a decision he could make on his own!

Chief Jack turned his back, "Hmm, go quickly, even if he disagrees, you have to persuade him to leave as soon as possible!"

...

After returning home, Tang San relayed everything about the Hall of Martial Souls surrounding Holy Soul Village to Tang Hao...

The latter's eyes widened in astonishment, "Xiaosan, did you just say that Holy Soul Village is being surrounded by Spirit Hall?"

Could it be that his identity had been exposed?

No, that's not possible, he had not revealed his whereabouts to anyone!

Could it be...that the Martial Soul of the Hao Tian Hammer, which Tang San possesses, was spotted by the Spirit Hall soul master responsible for awakening it?

Tang San earnestly spoke, "Father, what I told you is absolutely true. Because of this, the rest of the villagers are preparing to leave!"

Urgency in his voice, Tang Hao prodded, "Did the soul masters from the Hall of Martial Souls say why they came?"

Tang San clarified, "They came for Brother Sheng. Apparently, his talent is so remarkable that they want to take him back to Spirit Hall for cultivation!"

Only then did Tang Hao's anxiety begin to subside, "So they came for Xu Sheng..."

That child, who came from the future, must have everything under his control!

Thus, there was no need for him to intervene, nor was there any reason to!

Suddenly remembering something else, Tang San spoke up, "Also, Chief Jack urged us to leave quickly. He's worried Spirit Hall might do something else."

Tang Hao closed his eyes, "Don't worry about it, just stay put. Those soul masters from Spirit Hall can't stir up any trouble!"

Tang San swallowed hard, utterly failing to understand where the latter's confidence came from!

He was just a blacksmith from a small village, after all...

...

Meanwhile, Xu Sheng, being escorted by Yueguan and Gui Mei, glanced at the two of them and reminded, "Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, could you please not look at me like that?"

Yueguan ignored the request, continuing to gaze at him just the same...

After a dozen seconds, he finally let out a sentence, "Do you know how many years an ordinary soul master must cultivate to reach the realm of a Titled Douluo?"

"Decades, even a hundred years, and that's for the exceptionally gifted soul masters!"

"Most Soul Masters don't even have the talent or qualification to cultivate enough to become a Titled Douluo!"

"And you, you reached this step the moment your Martial Soul awakened, which is really very displeasing to me!"

Xu Sheng chuckled, "Does this mean, Chrysanthemum Douluo senior, that you want to take action against me?"

Yueguan pursed his lips, "Although I really want to do that...Her Eminence, the Pope, has personally ordered to bring you safely to the Hall of Martial Souls!"

Gui Mei narrowed his eyes, "I'm saying... aren't you afraid?"

This youngster's courage was a bit too grand!

In his interactions with me and Yueguan, he completely positioned himself as an equal!

His behavior and demeanor were also not what one would expect from his age!

Xu Sheng answered naturally, "Not afraid, if you wanted to take action, you would have done so already!"

"Besides, how can you be so sure that you can kill me?"

Facing this clear provocation, Yueguan shouted angrily, "Unacceptable, Lao Gui, I can't stand it, we must teach this arrogant kid a lesson!!"

As an Elder of the Hall of Martial Souls, when had he ever been humiliated like this!

Gui Mei couldn't help but remind him, "Yueguan, calm down a bit!"

Then, he turned to Xu Sheng again, "You're just a newly-inducted Titled Douluo, without even a single soul ring to your name. It would be very easy for us to kill you!"

The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth lifted slightly, "What Ghost Douluo says is very true, I was indeed just joking. However... why not take me to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings now?"

"It's something that has to be done sooner or later."

"Of course, if you two seniors think there are soul beasts in Aquipeia Forest that even you together can't handle, then forget it!"

Yueguan's temper flared up instantly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Gui, I always feel that this kid is deliberately provoking us."

He paused, then continued, "But what he said also makes some sense, after all, after returning to Martial Soul City, we're mostly going to have to hunt soul beasts for him anyway!"

From Aquipeia Forest to Martial Soul City, there was still quite a distance!

He did not want to make the trip again later!

After reflecting for a moment, Gui Mei said with a cold tone, "Kid, although I don't know what tricks you're playing, this suggestion is indeed not bad!"

"Also, in Aquipeia Forest, there is no soul beast that Yueguan and I can't deal with!"

Xu Sheng's eyes lit up with hope, "Really? Then I want the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython..."

Yueguan immediately scolded, "Shut your mouth!! If you want to die, don't drag us with you!"

Does this kid not know, the strength of those two ferocious beasts is such that even if half the power of the Spirit Hall was deployed, it may not be certain they could be taken down?

Gui Mei coughed slightly and added, "Apart from these two ferocious beasts, the other soul beasts shouldn't be a problem!"

What he had just said was indeed a bit too bold!

Really, if they both went hunting the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython, they would probably die without knowing how they died!

Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Then I have to trouble the two seniors!"

With his current strength, he couldn't hunt soul beasts that ranked among the top in strength, so he could only rely on Yueguan and Gui Mei...

However, after he obtained nine soul rings, it would also be time to leave...
