Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 272 Xuanzi's Strategic Retreat
“That’s right.” Ye Yulin nodded vigorously, her expression becoming increasingly serious. “Just now, when I was surveying from high above, I noticed a suspicious figure on that mountain peak not far away. I have every reason to suspect that this person has ulterior motives.”

After his martial soul awakened for the second time, his eyesight improved dramatically. He could see things very far away clearly, and with the help of some soul-guided telescopes, he could naturally see even farther.

Ye Yulin was particularly concerned about escorting the Sun Moon exchange students, since these students were all geniuses of Sun Moon, and once they grew up, they could increase the number of strong people in the Sun Moon Empire.

This is undoubtedly an extremely beneficial thing for the future development of the Sun Moon Empire.

Moreover, who knows if among these geniuses there might be a student who satisfies him?

If a student truly appears who satisfies him, he can take him on as a disciple and pass on all his knowledge to him. This way, he can not only cultivate geniuses for the empire, but also ensure that his legacy is passed down from generation to generation.

As Jing Hongchen listened to Ye Yulin's words, he subconsciously clenched his fist: "This place is the only way we can return to the Sun Moon Empire from Maple Leaf City. It would be reasonable if someone were lying in ambush here."

If it were me, I would also lie in wait here beforehand.

However, to which faction does this person belong? There are actually quite a few forces that harbor ill will towards our Sun Moon Empire. We don't know who sent him.

Jing Hongchen became more and more confused. Then he looked at Ye Yulin in front of him and said, "Ye Yulin, you and the two elders should prepare yourselves and have the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps get ready. We must do our best to capture this person."

If we absolutely cannot take it, we must protect the students' safety and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

He was indeed somewhat afraid that the other party was a Limit Douluo from a hidden sect, after all, he had heard that some powerful figures from hidden sects had very strange tempers.

Moreover, the Limit Douluo's strength is too great.

In the Douluo Continent, there are actually not many powerful Soul Masters at the Limit Douluo level.

The conditions for becoming a Limit Douluo are too demanding, and very few people can reach this level. Since its founding, the Sun Moon Empire has never had a Limit Douluo.

The Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire are merely cooperating, so the Holy Spirit Cult's Limit Douluo naturally does not belong to the Sun Moon Empire.

If the opponent really is a Limit Douluo, it means that our group will be put on the defensive.

After all, Limit Douluo is not only strong, but also very agile, making it difficult for even high-level soul-guided cannons to hit him.

Ye Yulin nodded, his expression still somewhat grim: "Don't worry, the two elders and the Evil Lord Soul Master Group are still waiting for me high in the sky. Please stay away from them to avoid being accidentally injured."

“Okay.” Jing Hongchen didn’t waste any time. He led the students back a considerable distance to ensure their safety.

Ye Yulin then had a brief conversation with the two elders and the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps.

Then he led the worshippers and the members of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps to surround the mountain peak. His idea was simple: to strike first.

At this moment, Xuanzi realized the problem, because he saw that Xiao Hongchen and his group had chosen to retreat as a group. Logically speaking, at this critical moment, they should have chosen to return to the Sun Moon Empire as soon as possible.

But what is the purpose of retreating?
It was as if there were some raging flood or ferocious beast ahead.

Xuanzi was puzzled, wondering if his attack plan had been discovered? Was that why the other side chose to back down?
No, impossible. I only shared this with Yan Shaozhe, but would Yan Shaozhe betray me? The answer is no. After all, Yan Shaozhe is Elder Mu's student and one of the people Xuanzi trusts most in the world.

Suddenly, Xuanzi saw a golden and silver light and his heart tightened immediately: "Oh no, I've been discovered. This is the Sun and Moon Divine Needle. This type of soul tool was invented by Ye Yulin, so there is a high probability that Ye Yulin is present."

He had no intention of confronting the Sun and Moon Divine Needle head-on, so he activated the flying soul tool on his back and flew out of the mountain range.

A moment later, with a deafening roar, a burst of golden and silver light exploded, shearing off half of the entire mountain. Dust billowed up, and rubble was carried into the sky by the force of the explosion before falling back to the ground.

Relying on his speed, Xuanzi successfully flew out of the attack range of the Sun and Moon Divine Needles. Before he could even catch his breath, a male voice came from the horizon: "There aren't many people with such skill. Who exactly are you?"

Ye Yulin, along with two elders and the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps, surrounded Xuanzi. They looked at Xuanzi with puzzled expressions.

Xuanzi looked at these people and his heart sank. He felt that his plan to hunt down the geniuses of the Sun and Moon had failed.

After all, he couldn't use his full strength without revealing his true identity.

This means that he simply has no way to fight these people.

So, Xuanzi took the two Holy Spirit Flags and started waving them. A large number of vengeful spirits of soul beasts appeared, and the air suddenly became cold and gloomy.

The vengeful spirits roared and charged towards Ye Yulin and her group.

In Xuanzi's view, the Holy Spirit Flag is just a tool. The key is who uses it. If a true evil spirit master uses it, it will inevitably cause adverse consequences.

After all, most evil spirit masters are people with wicked intentions.

But I am different. I am a true Shrek, and my use of this vengeful spirit is essentially for the peace of Douluo Continent.

"An evil soul master?" Ye Yulin was somewhat surprised, and his expression grew increasingly grim. "Since you are an evil soul master, then you cannot be spared. After all, evil soul masters are extremely cruel, and everyone has the right to kill them."

He suspected this might be a conspiracy by the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Attack together." Ye Yulin led everyone in a coordinated attack, and the light from soul skills and soul tools flickered intensely.

The vengeful spirits were quickly annihilated, and Ye Yulin and the others began to fight Xuanzi.

After some time, Xuanzi was forced to reveal his identity and used all his strength to successfully break through the encirclement.

He had no intention of continuing the fight, because he was now worried about the safety of the Shrek exchange students. The Sun and Moon people were too cunning, and they might have already arranged for people to attack the Shrek exchange students.

This was not the outcome he had anticipated, but if he didn't use his full strength, he felt he might die here.

The firepower of these Sun Moon Soul Masters is simply too fierce.

Beibei raised her head and looked at the sky.

The thick, dark clouds resembled a black city, giving off a very oppressive feeling.

"It's probably going to rain soon. I wonder what the weather is like where Xiaoya is. Xiaoya, where are you?" Beibei's expression grew increasingly melancholy.

A moment later, he sensed that something was wrong with the dark cloud above his head.

Because it moved so fast, and wherever their group went, the dark cloud immediately expanded.

It was as if this dark cloud was following them.

"Yan Shaozhe, it's been many years. I never expected you to become the Dean of the Martial Soul Department." A majestic male voice rang out from the clouds, and then the shape of the dark clouds began to change.
