390: Chapter 390 The Man Kills, the Woman Stays?

While Bibi Dong and Su Wen were busy studying the great affairs of life, the various competing teams had already begun to leave Spirit City one after another.

Inside the carriage of the Star Luo Empire team, Zhu Zhuyun peered through the curtain, looking back at Spirit City, which was already long out of sight, and asked in confusion.

"Weisi, aren't we leaving a bit too hastily?"

"All the major academies are touring Spirit City. Now that the competition is over, they all have time to see this place known as the Holy Land for Spirit Masters. Only we are rushing without stopping, as if we are fleeing for our lives."

Dai Weisi's tone was somewhat grave: "This is the teacher's intention. He said he sensed killing intent during the competition, so he told us to leave as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen changes."

Zhu Zhuyun also sensed that something was wrong.

She looked at Dai Weisi, her voice filled with disbelief: "You mean... Spirit Hall wants to make a move on us?"

"No, that's impossible, right? The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Competition just concluded, and we have only just stepped out of Spirit City. The eyes of all major forces are fixed on Spirit Hall. If they were to intercept and kill us at this time, it would be too brazen. The voices of the world would not let Spirit Hall off easily. Do they not care about their reputation anymore?"

Dai Weisi did not respond. Spirit Hall's ambition in recent years made it impossible not to worry.

"Zhuyun, on this trip back, you must assist me well. That trash Dai Mubai is completely finished; he will have no chance at the throne in this lifetime and can no longer be an obstacle to me. Although we didn't achieve good results in this competition, I no longer have any competitors. The position of Star Luo Emperor will inevitably be mine."

Zhu Zhuyun also nodded happily; this was indeed good news.

Just as she was about to say something, a commotion suddenly came from outside.

As the carriage traveled to a dense forest, dozens of pitch-black figures darted out, each holding a Godly Zhuge Crossbow in their hands.

Following a series of swishing sounds, the Godly Zhuge Crossbows simultaneously fired Hidden Weapons.

Before the Star Luo Empire guards could react, a whole group of them fell instantly.

"Assassins! Protect the Prince."

Dai Youtian, the leading teacher of the Star Luo Empire, stomped his feet heavily, and his optimal configuration of eight spirit rings rose instantly.

A phantom of a White Tiger also appeared behind him. At the same time, the captain of the guards drew out a long spear, also displaying eight spirit rings. With a wave of the spear, he blocked the Hidden Weapons that were about to hit the carriage.

The two of them guarded the carriage, one on the left and one on the right, while commanding the defense.

The accompanying Star Luo guards were all elite Spirit Masters; they reacted quickly and immediately formed a formation to resist.

Those dressed in black also rushed over, and more black-clad figures engaged in a fierce battle with the Star Luo guards from all directions.

The crisp clashing of metal and the collision of Soul Power intertwined at this moment.

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun jumped out of the carriage. The Star Luo participating members and the accompanying teachers quickly gathered around. Everyone revealed their Spirits, their eyes watching the surrounding battle with caution.

"Teacher, what happened?"

"I don't know!"

Dai Youtian vaguely guessed what was happening, but he dared not say it directly.

The captain of the guards beside him, however, had a straightforward personality: "Spirit Hall. Only Spirit Hall could send so many high-level Spirit Masters at once, and use these strange things."

Upon hearing it was Spirit Hall, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Zhu Zhuyun's face turned even paler.

They had just been discussing whether Spirit Hall would make a move on them, and they hadn't expected that less than a hundred miles from Spirit City, the people from Spirit Hall would already be unable to restrain themselves.

Dai Weisi's heart was also in turmoil, but he quickly calmed down and shouted at the surrounding people: "I am the First Prince of the Star Luo Empire. Do you know what crime you are committing by intercepting and killing the imperial team in public? I advise you to leave immediately. This Prince can treat today's events as if they never happened."

Just then, a streak of red light slashed over.

Dai Youtian immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body; his White Tiger Martial Soul caused his body to expand directly by twofold.

He leaped up and used the White Tiger Vajra Shield to block this ray of light.

But there was not a trace of triumph on Dai Youtian's face, only gravity.

This strike caused his chest to ache.

A Titled Douluo, without a doubt.

"Your Excellency, since you have come, why not show yourself immediately?"

"Hahaha."

Ethereal laughter rang out in the air.

Subsequently, a slender figure dressed in a black cloak appeared in mid-air.

Ye Yuaner had wrapped herself completely in her clothes, revealing only a pair of fiery red eyes.

The nine spirit rings around her shocked everyone. That was not the spirit ring configuration a normal Titled Douluo should have, but one never seen before: three purple, five black, and one red.

The red spirit ring shone with a blood-red light, making all the Star Luo guards feel a sense of pressure.

"Weisi!"

Zhu Zhuyun's face turned even paler. The leader was a Titled Douluo, and one with an extraordinary spirit ring configuration at that.

"Your Excellency must be Spirit Kite Douluo!"

Dai Youtian suppressed the nervousness in his heart and attempted to negotiate with her: "The Spirit Master Competition has just ended. I do not know why Your Excellency is doing this; is this appropriate? Does the Supreme Pontiff know about this?"

Ye Yuaner did not reply. Her Soul Power erupted, and the spirit rings on her body began to rotate.

"Run! Take the First Prince and go!"

Seeing this scene, Dai Youtian knew that the other party was determined to kill them today.

He did not hesitate and immediately used his Martial Soul True Body.

The captain of the guards beside him did the same; as he swung his long spear, it formed a hurricane.

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun quickly ran backward, and the members of the Star Luo team followed, their faces pale.

Ye Yuaner charged towards them, her speed reaching the extreme; before they could even see clearly, she was already right in front of them.

"White Tiger Demon God Transformation."

Dai Youtian's black ten-thousand-year spirit ring began to rotate.

His entire body expanded again under the enhancement of the Spirit Ability.

Under the amplification of multiple attributes, he swung his sharp claws towards Ye Yuaner, while the captain of the guards also swung his long spear to launch an attack from the side.

"Burning Heaven Echo."

Following a cry of a Phoenix, monstrous flames burned fiercely in the surroundings. The ground was scorched red by the flames, and pillars of fire erupted from all directions around Ye Yuaner, blasting both Dai Youtian and the captain of the guards away simultaneously.

Along with numerous Star Luo guards, they were swept into the flames and burned to ashes.

"Eighth Spirit Skill, White Tiger Heaven-Rending Blade!"

Dai Youtian steadied himself and immediately used his strongest Spirit Ability.

The captain of the guards did the same. The two Spirit Douluo fought to the death, burning all their Soul Power.

The fleeing Dai Weisi and the others had bloodshot eyes. They couldn't help with anything; the only thing they could do was run as fast as they could, which made them hate Spirit Hall involuntarily.

"Spirit Hall, once I ascend the throne, I will definitely make you pay a heavy price."

"Hehe, kid, you had better worry about what's right in front of you first, and whether you can survive."

Several ambushing Cardinals of Spirit Hall appeared from the surroundings, blocking their path.

Two of them attacked them immediately with their strongest Martial Soul True Body.

"Kill the men, keep the women; they are still useful."
