At the foot of the mountain, it was barely visible that a majority of the Spirit Hall soul masters had already begun to gasp for breath...
The long journey had exhausted a great deal of their physical strength. If they were to continue up the mountain in this state to attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the losses could be much more severe...
Snake Spear frowned as he looked back at the panting soul masters, "The soul masters from the Spirit Hall have nearly exhausted their strength!"
Citun also spoke gravely, "Most are lower-ranked soul masters. Their physical strength is not on our level, it's understandable!"
The other Elders turned their gaze toward Xu Sheng, who was leading them. As the organizer of the operation to obliterate the souls, whether to attack the Blue Electricity Overlord Dragon sect at this moment also depended on his decision.
One guest elder cautiously asked Xu Sheng, "Your Highness the Saint Heir, may I ask what your current plan is?"
Another guest elder sighed, "If we let these soul masters from the Spirit Hall continue onward, I fear that by the time they reach the mountaintop, not many would be able to perform at their normal level."
In their hearts, they hoped that Xu Sheng would allow the large forces of the Spirit Hall to rest and recover before making further plans. The Elders and the Soul Douluos would have been fine, but those beneath could not withstand it.
Seeing that Xu Sheng did not answer the guest elder, Hulena approached quietly and whispered, "Xu Sheng, why don't we let everyone rest for a bit?"
Evil Moon also calmly scanned the Soul Master Troop behind them and knitted his brows, "Xu Sheng, the soul masters below the Soul King rank are already struggling to keep up."
Xu Sheng, deep in thought, suddenly had a flash of insight, and a slight smile played at the corners of his mouth...
Xu Sheng looked at the Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls and said indifferently, "Elders and guest elders, please come here for a moment."
Hearing Xu Sheng's words, the surrounding Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls gathered around with puzzled faces, waiting for what Xu Sheng would say next.
Xu Sheng spoke in a cold voice, "We need to change the plan a bit for now. First, Snake Spear, Citun, and I will head to True Dragon Mountain as quickly as possible to take care of Yu Yuanzhen!"
"The rest of you Elders and guest elders should divide up the forces of the Spirit Hall into two groups. Each group will ascend from the farthest left and right sides of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and conceal themselves."
"After that, once we take care of Yu Yuanzhen, we will send out a visible signal, and the Elders and guest elders will quickly lead the Spirit Hall soul masters to completely surround and attack the Blue Electricity Overlord Dragon Sect!"
The reason Xu Sheng did this was to avoid alarming them, which could cause some disciples of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect to escape rapidly!
With this revelation, the Elders and guest elders had an epiphany, exchanging glances of admiration clearly visible in each other's eyes.
An elder exclaimed, "As expected of His Highness the Saint Heir, coming up with such a meticulous plan. It would enable us to catch the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect off guard and eliminate their high-level combat strength first!"
"I agree with this approach! His Highness the Saint Heir is very wise in his way of warfare!"
"I agree too. Without old Yu Yuanzhen standing in the way, with the five of us—Elders and guest elders from the Spirit Hall—it is absolutely possible to swiftly take care of the remainder of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect within a short time," another stated.
Especially with the presence of high-end combat forces like the Titled Douluos, simply unleashing a few wide-ranging soul skills on the densely packed disciples of the Blue Electricity Overlord Dragon Sect would be a hundred times faster than the lower-ranked soul masters fighting one-on-one.
Xu Sheng immediately made a decisive statement, "Then it is decided! Snake Spear and Citun, follow me. The rest of the Elders, hurry up and discuss the division of troops and the plan of attack!"
"Yes! His Highness the Saint Heir!" the other Elders of the Hall of Martial Souls promptly went about discussing amongst the large troop of soul masters...
Hulena looked at the words Xu Sheng had just spoken, pursed her lips, and said with concern, "Xu Sheng... be careful!"
Xu Sheng nodded, looked at Evil Moon and Flame with a solemn expression, and said, "Yes! When I'm not here, take care of yourselves. Even if you just keep watch from the rear, that would be fine."
All of the soul masters from the Spirit Hall were, in his view, dispensable...
Therefore, even if all of these people from the Spirit Hall were to meet with mishap, Xu Sheng did not want to see Hulena and the other two's demise...
Evil Moon said with a smile, "We understand, Xu Sheng, you should go now!"
Flame patted his massive chest, "Don't worry about us, once you're gone, Xu Sheng, isn't there still me to protect Lena?"
Lena's tone suddenly turned cold, "Flame?"
Flame waved his hand, somewhat sheepishly, "Just a joke, Lena, don't be mad!"
Seeing there was nothing more to say, Xu Sheng glanced sideways at Citun and Snake Spear, who were silently waiting, and said, "Let's go, Snake Spear, Citun!"
The two's faces tightened, "Yes, Your Highness the Holy Son!"
In an instant, the three exploded with terrifying speed and began charging towards the peak of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Gate...
...
With the speed of Titled Douluos, Xu Sheng and his two companions soon reached the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Gate...
However, when their gaze swept over the Gate, they found that the vast sect had not a single Disciple standing guard!
Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes, "No guards? Something's not right."
Citun voiced his doubts, "Your Highness the Holy Son, could our Extinguish Soul operation have been exposed? It's very possible that the entire Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect has already evacuated this place!"
Snake Spear shook his head, "Unlikely. His Highness only decided on the time for the Extinguish Soul operation this afternoon, unless there's a traitor among the elders of the Martial Soul Hall, otherwise..."
If ordinary Spirit Hall soul masters had gotten hold of the Extinguish Soul operation information, they simply wouldn't have had the time to send a warning to the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect!!
Xu Sheng closed his eyes, his level 97 terrifying spiritual power weaving outwards, spreading around...
Soon, it extended over nearly half the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect...
Suddenly, his pupils dilated, and the corners of Xu Sheng's mouth slowly curved up with a chill, "So that's how it is!!"
The Martial Soul Hall's Extinguish Soul operation hadn't been exposed!
Rather... it was because today, if nothing unexpected happened, happened to be the sect competition of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect!!
All of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Disciples were essentially gathered at True Dragon Mountain and the two adjacent peaks!!
It was clear to see that Yu Yuanzhen was fully confident in his strength, not the least bit afraid of attacks from the Martial Soul Hall or any other power!
Just then, Xu Sheng silently released the Netherworld Ghostvine, then gathered a Netherworld Fireball in the palm of his hand...
He said faintly, "It seems that deciding to attack the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect gate at dawn today was the right choice."
Snake Spear and Citun, two Douluo, looked at Xu Sheng, who was somewhat strange by their side, their faces filled with deep puzzlement...
The right choice?? When we haven't even seen a single disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon...
Could it be... that Xu Sheng's true goal today was not actually to attack the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect??
Xu Sheng did not explain further and fiercely threw the Netherworld Fireball in his hand down towards the cliff below...
This fireball, as if specially compressed, seemed stimulated during its fall and suddenly released a Netherworld Flame that could envelop the mountains.
