Chapter 7 Encounter with Disciples of the Haotian Sect (Please add to your favorites and invest!)
Just then, a red tiger spirit beast with flames all over its body charged towards them. Based on the books he had seen at the Notting City Junior Spirit Master Academy, Qin Sheng recognized it as a fire tiger spirit beast that was between 1,200 and 1,500 years old.

Qin Sheng wanted to test the power of the Beast-Trapping Ring and the Myriad Soul Banner, so without thinking, he took out a palm-sized Beast-Trapping Ring from his pocket and used it.

The Beast-Trapping Ring emitted a dark light in the air, suddenly expanding to a size of about ten feet, and almost instantly wrapped around the Fire Tiger's neck.

The Fire Tiger let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground, its spirit broken. The flames on its body also dissipated.

"The Beast-Trapping Ring has the effect of suppressing magical power, and it seems to be equally effective on soul power, with an even more significant suppression effect. Once trapped, one can no longer use any soul power within the body and can only be killed at will."

Muttering to himself, Qin Sheng's eyes lit up with red light. With a burst of divine sense, he discovered that there were no soul beasts or humans within a radius of several dozen feet.

With a slight sway, he arrived three feet in front of the Fire Tiger, raised his right hand, and summoned the Myriad Souls Banner—no, the Human Emperor Banner.

They tried to activate it with their soul power, but found that without soul rings, the Human Emperor Banner had no effect whatsoever.

So he decisively tried to infuse it with magic power.

The Emperor's Banner, which was originally only an inch long, suddenly became several times larger.

Qin Sheng gripped the Emperor's Banner tightly and gently waved it at the Fire Tiger.

With a whoosh, crimson clouds emerged from the banner, then surged up instantly, enveloping Qin Sheng's figure.

Immediately afterwards, a whooshing sound rang out, and streaks of blood-red threads shot out from the mist where Qin Sheng was, heading straight for the fire tiger.

The fire tiger, bound by the Beast-Trapping Ring, let out a miserable howl as a blood-red phantom, resembling a soul, was pulled out of its body and slowly drawn into the Human Emperor Banner.

At the same time, beneath the blood-red banner shrouded in mist, a beast-shaped face, shrunk many times over, appeared.

Looking at the fire tiger again, it was already dead. Its blood-red pupils had lost their original luster. It had completely lost its life.

The mist cleared, revealing Qin Sheng's young figure. He raised his hand and flicked it, causing the Beast-Trapping Rings to fly away from the fire tiger's neck. Qin Sheng caught it with his left hand.

Looking at the Beast-Trapping Ring in his left hand and then at the Emperor's Banner in his right, Qin Sheng's face showed a thoughtful expression.

"The power of this Emperor's Banner seems a bit lacking. It's so difficult to even collect the soul of a fire tiger that can't use its soul power. It seems that there are too few souls. I need to find some time to go to the City of Slaughter and collect ten or twenty thousand souls there. That shouldn't be a problem."

Just as Qin Sheng was pondering, he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps. He quickly released his divine sense to investigate and found an old man and a young man rushing towards them.

With his divine sense now in hand, Qin Sheng was able to sense the fluctuations of a Soul Master's soul power.

This smaller one's soul power fluctuations seem stronger than Su Haitao's in Notting City. It's safe to assume his soul power is already close to that of a Soul Master.

The other person's soul power fluctuations were much stronger.

But Qin Sheng didn't sense any danger from the other party. Besides, even if he did, it wouldn't matter, since so much time had already passed.

That Doctor Fang is definitely no longer in the desolate mountain cave.

If we can't win, we can always travel back in time.

The old man and the young man moved very quickly, and in no time at all, they darted out from the direction Qin Sheng sensed and appeared in front of him.

Both men were male, the older one appearing to be around sixty-seven years old with a full head of white hair. Despite his advanced age, he was remarkably energetic, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, and his right hand gripping a two-meter-long black metal hammer. Seven spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—pulsated around him.

Beside the old man was an ordinary-looking boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a neat gray outfit that tightly hugged his rather muscular physique.

A pair of jet-black eyes were fixed on the blood tiger corpse beside Qin Sheng. He also held a metal hammer in his hand, but this hammer was smaller than the old man's, and the hammerhead was more fiery red.

He only has two yellow, hundred-year-old spirit rings.

The appearance of the two men didn't surprise Qin Sheng too much, but he still pretended to be alarmed, his gaze subtly sweeping over the hammers in their hands as he muttered to himself:

"So you're from the Haotian Sect?"

Qin Sheng was 'terrified', and the boy's expression also changed.

"Uncle Ba, Fire Tiger is dead." He glanced at Fire Tiger lying on the ground, then looked at Qin Sheng beside him, his eyes bloodshot, panting heavily, "It was you, you killed my Fire Tiger, didn't you? Uncle Ba, you have to avenge me, he dared to steal my Fire Tiger, he deserved to die."

Upon hearing the boy's words, even Qin Sheng, who was usually very calm, couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly. Why was it another path to death?

Could it be that this wasn't exclusive to Tang Buddha?
Or is it something that the Tang family has inherited?

"Calm down, Zhan'er. I'll handle this. Don't get involved."

The old man patted the boy's shoulder and simultaneously transmitted his voice through his soul power, saying, "This fire tiger is not dead. It has only been a quarter of an hour since we started tracking it. No one could kill it and absorb this soul ring in such a short time. Moreover, judging from the fluctuations of this boy's soul power, it is only around level ten. It is impossible for him to kill the fire tiger."

Upon hearing that Huo Hu was not dead, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at Qin Sheng with hostile eyes.

The old man stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the black rings and blood-red banners in Qin Sheng's hands without leaving a trace.

Whether it was his imagination or not, he felt a slight sense of pressure emanating from the two objects in his hand, the Haotian Hammer.

Almost subconsciously, I felt that this was Qin Sheng's martial spirit.

Moreover, these are two weapon spirits whose quality is very likely to be superior to the Clear Sky Hammer.

Upon thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in the old man's eyes, and he made a decision in an instant. "Young friend, I am Tang Ba, a disciple of the Haotian Sect. May I ask your esteemed surname?"

"My name is Han Li. I'm here to hunt for spirit rings. I didn't kill this spirit beast. Please don't kill me!"

Qin Sheng outwardly feigned fear, but in reality, the Beast-Trapping Ring in his hand was already poised to strike.

After all, the Imperial Banner of Others needs enough souls to enhance its power.

But he couldn't bring himself to kill innocent people.

So all I can do is pretend to be someone who's completely at someone's mercy.

If the other party intends to harm him, he will gladly take their soul.

"I see. But that's only one side of the story and doesn't prove you didn't steal my nephew's soul beast."

Tang Ba squinted and said.

This old man clearly said in a telepathic message just now that Fire Tiger was not dead, and that I only had around level ten soul power and couldn't kill Fire Tiger. Now he's accusing me of stealing his nephew's soul beast. He's even more shameless than me.

Seeing that the other party was about to attack him, Qin Sheng was secretly pleased, but on the surface he remained calm, lowered his head and looked aggrieved, "I don't know how to prove it."
