Chapter 193: The Lion Leaves the City
"Yes, High Priest!"
Seeing Qian Daoliu's agreement, Lion Douluo immediately placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly to Qian Daoliu again, and then turned and left the Spirit Hall.
After Lion Douluo left, Qian Daoliu called the intelligence officer and asked, "What happened to the Fourth Priest's family?"
The intelligence officer, half-kneeling before him, heard that it was Qian Daoliu who was asking the question and immediately said, "According to the information we have received, it seems that a man named Xie Erxun from the Fourth Priest's family has died in an accident. He was the Fourth Priest's prized heir."
As he spoke, he pulled a relevant document from his storage soul guide and presented it to Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu briefly glanced at the contents.
"Xie Erxun, fifty years old, a Level 82 Strong Attack Soul Douluo. His spirit is the Golden Flame Lion, a variant of the Fiery Flame Lion, and his innate soul power is level nine.
His cultivation trajectory: Great Soul Master at age ten, Soul Venerable at fourteen, Soul Sect at nineteen, Soul King at twenty-four, Soul Emperor at thirty-one, Soul Sage at forty. He reached Soul Douluo at forty-nine, making him the most likely member of the Fiery Flame Clan to reach Titled Douluo.
His battle record: ......"
After reading this, Qian Daoliu nodded and said, "No wonder the Lion is so excited. Xie Erxun does have the potential to reach Titled Douluo." Based on Xie Erxun's past record, if he continued on a normal path, he could reach Titled Douluo before the age of sixty. This wasn't considered too late, as spirit masters who achieve Titled Douluo breakthroughs typically do so in their fifties.
If someone hasn't reached Titled Douluo by the age of sixty, the chances of achieving it again are very low.
The decline of one's own Qi and Blood is secondary. The most important thing is that if you haven't reached level eighty-ninth by your fifties, it suggests, to some extent, that your talent may be insufficient! If talent is insufficient, even if you eventually reach level eighty-ninth, there's a high probability that you'll be blocked by the Titled Douluo barrier.
Dugu Bo reached the Titled Douluo level at seventy, making him an outlier among the Titled Douluo community.
Elsewhere, upon exiting the Hall of Worship, Lion Douluo immediately produced a yellow robe and enveloped himself.
Soon, Lion Douluo left Spirit City and arrived in a forested area.
He paused, his lips curled slightly, and he addressed the trees, "Come out! You're still a little immature to follow me."
With that, golden flames erupted from Lion Douluo's body, and nine spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—appeared around him.
"Oh no! It's that old monster from the Spirit Hall! Let's run!"
Upon seeing Lion Douluo's spirit ring, several spies hiding in the woods sensed something was amiss and fled in all directions like birds and beasts.
"Roar!!!"
A second later, Lion Douluo roared, and the spies instantly turned into a bloody foam.
After killing several spies, Lion Douluo sneered, "Want to run? You have no right to escape from me!"
Lion Douluo briefly cleaned up his tracks and quickly left the area.
An unknown amount of time later, several spies returned to the area. The strong smell of blood in the area made their expressions grow grim.
...…
Near a valley, a large bird soared above the sky, watching from above as a thin figure entered through a hidden entrance.
"Finally found it! I didn't expect the Flame Clan to be so cautious, hiding their territory so well."
Watching the thin figure enter the valley below, Mo Hui breathed a sigh of relief.
His efforts had paid off; he had finally found the Flame Clan's true headquarters.
To find this place, he had first used a map to locate a larger Flame Clan base, then sought out a Flame Clan elder and, using the power of Heaven and Man, followed him for a full day before finally finding the place.
Later, Mo Hui rode Pidgeot to the top of the valley and glimpsed the hidden depths.
The valley resembled a small town, especially in the center, where a fortress resembled a military fortress.
Seeing this, Mo Hui narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "As expected of a top-tier family on the continent, they possess a rich heritage."
Then, Mo Hui patted Pidgeot and said, "Pidgeot, check the Flame Clan's combat power to see if they truly possess any Titled Douluo."
"Beep!"
Pidgeot nodded, his eyes gleaming with a deep green light as he quickly scanned the valley below.
Mo Hui also activated Pidgeot's vision and carefully observed the situation of the Flame Clan.
After some exploration, Mo Hui discovered that the majority of the people in this valley were Spirit Masters, and their levels were generally quite high. This further convinced Mo Hui that this was the Flame Clan's main headquarters.
"Hmm?"
Mo Hui soon detected a powerful aura.
"A Level 87 Soul Douluo. Looks like this is the Flame Clan's other Soul Douluo."
The Flame Clan had two Soul Douluos: the newly promoted Xie Erxun and the long-established veteran.
Now that Xie Erxun was dead, the fate of the Flame Clan's Soul Douluo was clear.
"If we kill this last remaining Soul Douluo, the Flame Clan will be in tatters," Mo Hui thought to himself.
A top-tier expert is undoubtedly extremely important to a clan. Why did the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan become one of the top three clans? Isn't it because it possesses a Titled Douluo?
These are also the greatest disparities between the Lower Four Sects and the Upper Three. As long as the Lower Four Sects lack a Titled Douluo, they will never be on equal footing with the Upper Three.
Similarly, if Mo Hui were to kill the Flame Family's Soul Douluo, the Flame Family, having lost two Soul Douluos, would immediately fall from first-rate status to second-rate.
If Mo Hui were even more ruthless and kill every Soul Emperor and above within the Flame Family, the Flame Family would immediately become third-rate or even fourth-rate.
"Wait a minute—that's..."
At this moment, through Pidgeot's vision, Mo Hui made a new discovery.
Seeing the incredibly powerful soul power glow, Mo Hui's expression immediately grew serious.
For that glow far surpassed that of the Level 87 Soul Douluo he had seen earlier, and even surpassed that of the Seahorse Douluo he had seen on Sea God Island. This was something only a Super Douluo could achieve.
