Chapter 101: The Battle Curtain - Expelling the Spirit Hall
Lin Xiao's cold gaze swept across the battlefield and finally fell on the remaining spirit masters of the Spirit Hall.
"Dragon Soul Mercenary Group, clean up the battlefield."
"The rest of you, recover your soul power where you are."
After the order was given, the members of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group immediately took action to collect the spoils and deal with the corpses.
The soul masters of the Spirit Hall looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces.
At this moment, a Soul Douluo came out. His face was gloomy and he spoke to Lin Xiao in a deep voice.
"Elder! This is inappropriate!"
"In this battle, our Spirit Hall contributed the most. We originally had 5,000 Spirit Masters, but now there are less than 1,000 left!"
"Even among the fifteen of us Soul Douluo, there are only five of us left alive!"
His eyes swept over Lin Xiao, then looked at the busy members of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group.
"How come you don't want us to participate in cleaning up the battlefield?"
"Among the people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan who were just killed, several of them possessed spirit bones!"
"Could it be that the elder wants to take all the spoils for himself?"
Lin Xiao had a blank expression on his face. He flipped his hand and a token appeared in his hand. It was the Law Enforcement Elder Order given by Bibi Dong.
He tossed the token casually and said coldly:
"Do you have any objections? You can take this token and go to Wuhun City in person to have Bibi Dong come to see me."
"But if you dare to act without authorization now, I will make your blood spill within five steps!"
The murderous intent in his words was not concealed at all, and his intention to keep the spoils for himself was obvious.
Upon hearing this, most of the Spirit Hall's soul masters subconsciously lowered their heads and did not dare to look Lin Xiao in the eye.
However, there are always one or two people with strong personalities or who are self-confident in their own strength.
A burly Soul Douluo with a full beard took a step forward and pointed at Lin Xiao and shouted angrily.
"What a law enforcement elder! He's so unfair!"
"It was our Spirit Hall people who died, but it was your own Dragon Soul Mercenary Group who took advantage!"
"I, Wang Yan, will not obey your orders today. What do you think?"
Faced with such a stubborn person, Lin Xiao didn't even bother to look at him.
Dugu Bo, who was standing next to Lin Xiao, just casually raised his finger and lightly tapped the Soul Douluo named Wang Yan.
A barely perceptible emerald green light instantly penetrated Wang Yan's forehead like lightning.
The anger on Wang Yan's face froze instantly.
He had just experienced a series of battles, his soul power was greatly consumed, and his mind was in turmoil.
How could anyone withstand a casual attack from a level 96 Titled Douluo, who was also the best in the world at using poison - Poison Douluo?
Almost in the blink of an eye.
"ah--"
The shrill scream only lasted halfway before it stopped abruptly.
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Wang Yan's body turned dark green at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his skin and muscles quickly rotted and melted away.
In just a few breaths, only a skeleton emitting a foul-smelling black aura was left on the spot, and it fell to the ground with a "crash".
There was deathly silence all around.
All the remaining Spirit Hall soul masters, including the remaining four Soul Douluo.
At this moment, I felt a chill running from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and cold sweat instantly soaked my clothes.
They all buried their heads deeply, not daring to even breathe, let alone express any objection or dissatisfaction.
Even among the crowd, there were a few soul masters who were quick-witted and wanted to find opportunities to show their loyalty to Lin Xiao and take the opportunity to surrender.
At this moment, he completely gave up the idea and shrank his neck.
The methods used by this newly promoted law enforcement elder are truly too cruel and brutal!
And the Poison Douluo beside him kills people without being seen!
At this moment, no one dared to question any of Lin Xiao's decisions.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao did not intend to kill them all. This would save Bibi Dong from a lot of trouble.
She couldn't be like herself, treating these people like she wanted to kill them!
...
Not long after, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had been chasing Tang Hao, returned and shook his head at Ning Fengzhi.
Xiao Zhan and his team have also finished cleaning up the battlefield.
Yang Wudi, who delivered the message, also brought Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin and other younger generations of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan back here to report.
Just as they were about to report their gains, Lin Xiao raised his hand to stop them and turned his gaze towards the Spirit Masters of the Spirit Hall.
"Everyone! Now that the battle is over, please return to the Spirit Hall and report to the Pope! You will surely receive many rewards for such achievements."
As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining four Soul Douluo and nearly a thousand Spirit Hall Soul Masters not only did not show any joy on their faces, but their faces became even uglier.
Military achievements? Rewards?
They suffered such heavy casualties that even eleven Soul Fighters were killed, and in the end, even the spoils were taken by others!
What kind of military achievement is this?
After returning, it is already a great blessing from His Holiness the Pope not to punish me. Do you still want a reward?
What's more, this new law enforcement elder is so domineering and cruel.
It is obvious that he wants to take all the benefits for himself, but he still says such high-sounding words, which is simply murderous!
However, the situation is stronger than people.
Wang Yan's tragic death just now is still vivid in his mind, and the terror of Poison Douluo is even deeper into his bones.
Even though they were filled with resentment and unwillingness, they did not dare to show it at all at this moment.
The leading Soul Douluo suppressed the humiliation and anger in his heart and bowed to Lin Xiao.
"I will follow the elder's orders!"
"We will... return to the Spirit Hall to report."
After saying this, he led the remaining Spirit Hall soul masters and fled into the distance in a panic without looking back, like a stray dog.
Looking at their desolate backs as they left, Lin Xiao curled up the corners of his mouth in an imperceptible sneer.
These remaining soldiers and brave generals returned with a lot of resentment, which was enough to give Bibi Dong a headache for a while.
Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and the newly returned Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who were standing by, took it all in and couldn't help but shake their heads inwardly.
After utilizing the power of the Spirit Hall, Sect Leader Lin changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, and he didn't even bother to put on a show.
However, their Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, which had always been at odds with the Spirit Hall, was actually happy to see this.
Ning Fengzhi even guessed that Lin Xiao was deliberately making his attitude clear to show them.
After the people from the Spirit Hall completely disappeared from his sight, Lin Xiao turned around and a warm smile appeared on his face, as if the cold-blooded person just now was not him.
He turned sideways towards Ning Fengzhi and the other two and made a "please" gesture.
"Master Ning, His Majesty Sword Douluo, His Majesty Bone Douluo, now that we've settled our affairs here, how about we follow me to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect's main gate and take a look?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, his signature gentle smile still on his face.
"In that case, I'm sorry to bother you, little friend Lin."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong looked at each other and nodded.
Afterwards, Lin Xiao, Dugu Bo, Ye Renxin and Ning Fengzhi walked side by side, slowly ascending the cracked but still magnificent stone steps.
Behind him, the members of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group led by Xiao Zhan automatically lined up in neat rows and followed solemnly.
