Tang San was puzzled. How had he run into Hu Liena and the others in this place?
Although he still hadn't seen Jiang Xiaofeng, Tang San understood that Jiang Xiaofeng was probably dead.
However, besides Hu Liena, he also saw the figures of the two very familiar Title Douluo.
With such a large group, could someone be breaking through their cultivation and coming here to capture Soul Beasts?
But Tang San looked around and didn't see anyone who seemed to need a Soul Ring.
The movements of this group were quite strange.
"What to do? They, the Spirit Hall, have gathered so many people. They can't possibly have no purpose, and they're still a distance away from the center of the Star Dou Great Forest. Could they really be planning to capture Xiao Wu?"
Xiao Wu was Tang San's weakness.
It had been five years since they last met, and Tang San missed Xiao Wu dearly. He had come to the Star Dou Great Forest this time with the intention of bringing Xiao Wu to be by his side.
However, the Spirit Hall had gathered so many experts, and their objective seemed highly suspicious.
Tang San planned to test the waters, as he hadn't revealed himself.
Just as Tang San was about to approach Hu Liena and the others, a Soul Saint quickly spotted him.
"Halt! Passage is forbidden here. Please take another route!"
Facing the Soul Saint, Tang San, whose soul power had reached level 60, didn't back down.
"Is the Star Dou Great Forest also under your Spirit Hall's control?"
"Cut the chatter. If you don't leave, I won't be polite!"
"Hmph, I just wanted to hunt my Soul Beast. You Spirit Hall really are overbearing!"
Because of the fluctuations in soul power here, Hu Liena and the others sensed it too.
Elder Yue Guan rushed out first, and then the others hurried in this direction.
Soon, many people appeared in front of Tang San.
Looking at the unfamiliar man before him, Yue Guan was puzzled.
Their purpose for this trip was the souls in front of them; even the Title Douluo didn't know what was going on, let alone an outsider. This sudden appearance of an outsider was very suspicious.
"Boy, what are you doing here?"
Tang San said calmly, "Naturally, I'm here to hunt my Soul Beast. It just so happens to be within this area. Unfortunately, your people are blocking me, preventing me from going over!"
"Really? Are you sure you weren't following us?"
Tang San chuckled, "Judging by your skills, I'd say you're quite formidable. How could a mere Soul King like me dare to follow you?"
Yue Guan nodded. Indeed, no Soul King would be bold enough to trail a Title Douluo. That would be courting death. Could it be this guy really stumbled in here by accident while hunting Soul Beasts?
At this moment, Xie Yue spoke, "Regardless, since you're here, you're staying. You can leave only after we finish our mission!"
Yue Guan added, "We in the Spirit Hall don't kill innocent people. For the sake of secrecy, you'll stay with us for now. We'll let you go after we complete our mission. If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for killing you right here!"
Faced with a Title Douluo of level 96, even Tang San couldn't possibly stand a chance, no matter how hard he tried.
Just as Tang San was about to agree, Feng Lingling and Hu Liena, who were a step behind, finally caught up.
When Hu Liena saw Tang San, her expression changed dramatically.
Seeing the drastic change in Hu Liena's expression, Tang San retreated almost without thinking, putting distance between them.
Hu Liena said coldly, "Tang San, your disguise is really good! Don't think I wouldn't recognize you just because you changed your appearance. If it weren't for Brother Feng's sharp perception, I might still be deceived by you. Get him!"
Xie Yue immediately attacked, his Moon Blade flying out without hesitation.
Feng Lingling shouted.
"First Soul Skill, increase everyone's movement speed by 50%!"
Tang San yelled, "Not good!"
Without any hesitation, he immediately ran.
However, Xie Yue and the others pursued relentlessly.
Hu Liena shouted, "Tang San, I didn't come looking for you, and yet you delivered yourself to me! After you disappeared in Slaughter City, Brother Feng vanished as well. I've always suspected you were the reason. Even if you weren't, you're going to die today!"
The others finally understood why Hu Liena was so furious upon seeing the man before them.
This person was Tang San. Although his appearance had changed, it was still the same Tang San.
Yue Guan immediately attacked.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Gathering of Cold Essence!"
Tang San didn't hesitate either. Eight spider-lances appeared, and with his Blue Silver Domain activated, his speed reached its peak.
"Purple Demon Eye!"
Tang San used his Purple Demon Eye to deflect Yue Guan's soul skill attack and used the recoil to create distance between himself and the others.
This guy's feet were like greased lightning; there was no catching him.
Hu Liena shouted, "Don't chase him! There's no point. Our target is Xiao Wu!"
Moonlight fell beside Hu Liena, and he nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, this guy is just like his father was back then, running as fast as can be. I wonder why he came to the Star Dou Great Forest. Could he also be looking for Xiao Wu?"
Hu Liena's face darkened as she said, "We don't need to worry about that. The most we'll have to do is kill him along with Xiao Wu when we find her!"
"Right, we'll do whatever it takes to win!"
Hu Liena didn't want to waste too much energy on Tang San. Their goal was Xiao Wu, not Tang San.
Tang San, who had disappeared for a long time, had reappeared. This meant that Jiang Xiaofeng might also show up, which ignited a spark of hope within Hu Liena.
When they returned to the camp, Ghost Douluo was guarding it.
"What happened? Why did you suddenly give chase? What was the problem with that person?"
Hu Liena said, "That person was Tang San. Unfortunately, he was too alert, and he got away!"
Ghost Douluo laughed, "Yue Guan, you're a Title Douluo at level 96, and you let a level 60 Soul Master escape. You're really embarrassing!"
Yue Guan retorted, "He's just like his father, slippery as an eel. If we had continued the pursuit, he definitely wouldn't have escaped. But Nana said to prioritize the overall situation, so we came back!"
"That's right. Since our objective might have been discovered, we don't need to rest anymore. We'll set off immediately and find that Xiao Wu as quickly as possible!"
Hu Liena and the others nodded. Otherwise, this plan was likely to fail.
They had originally planned to rest for the night, but it seemed they could only depart early.
On the other side, Tang San had just escaped danger and was also heading towards the center of the Star Dou Great Forest at an extremely fast speed. He had faintly heard Hu Liena say that their target was Xiao Wu, so he was very anxious.
"Spirit Hall, your target is indeed Xiao Wu. I will never let you succeed!"
