"Several teams headed to the Aquipeia Forest."
"That means the people from the Martial Soul Hall must be going after hundred-thousand-year soul beasts."
"Why else would they send out several teams!"
"Do you guys think I'm right!?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At another table, Tang Hao lowered his head and listened intently.
So, the Martial Soul Hall really was after a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
Wasn't that hundred-thousand-year soul beast Xiaowu from the Shrek Academy!
The Pope had remained obsessed with Xiaowu, sending out multiple teams to capture her. Last time, Xiaowu almost fell into the hands of the Martial Soul Hall, and this time, without Tang Hao, her life was surely in danger!
"Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts are not easy to find, huh?!"
"You say if they fail this time, wouldn't that be a loss of face for the Martial Soul Hall."
A woman spoke up.
This woman wasn't much to look at, but her mouth was certainly venomous.
Whether the Martial Soul Hall could capture a hundred-thousand-year soul beast hadn't been announced yet, and this woman had the audacity to speak so boldly—wasn't she afraid that the Martial Soul Hall would hear and have no choice but to kill her!?
"How could they possibly fail, I mean think about it, Martial Soul Hall is a very powerful organization. Besides, isn't the Pope there? It's impossible they will come back empty-handed."
"But that being said, hundred-thousand-year soul beasts really are hard to get. If it weren't difficult, Martial Soul Hall wouldn't have needed to lead so many teams."
"Oh, that's right."
"There's something else I forgot to tell you guys, haha."
"Guess who the Martial Soul Hall invited to join them in capturing the hundred-thousand-year soul beast."
The man said with a smug grin.
Everyone looked at the man with puzzled expressions, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
"Who is it!!"
"Hurry up and spill the beans. We're all on tenterhooks here. Otherwise, we might just have to break your legs."
"You're saying Martial Soul Hall actually had to invite that Immortal to get the hundred-thousand-year soul beast from the Aquipeia Forest with them, I really want to know who this mysterious person is!"
Everyone was eager to know the identity of this enigmatic individual.
"I don't quite understand it myself, but I heard he also participated in the national Senior Soul Master championship. He's an instructor and the youngest academy teacher who has also worked at other academies. He often competes in many competitions, always taking first place.
"And it's said that he's even stronger than Tang San, which is why the Martial Soul Hall wanted him."
"Oh, now that you mention it, that does make sense."
"Suddenly I'm thinking of someone—it couldn't possibly be him, right? I remember seeing his matches in the soul fighting arena; he fought against Tang San. I pity those opponents, each defeated by him."
"So far, no one has beaten him in any competition he's entered."
These people knew a lot; they were halfway to uncovering the dealings of the Martial Soul Hall!
It seemed that the Martial Soul Hall had intentionally let this slip.
"Ye Feng!?"
"What, say that again, who is it?"
"Ye Feng!"
One of the men suddenly exclaimed.
Immediately after, he covered his mouth with his hand, afraid that outsiders might overhear.
Little did he know, Tang Hao had heard every word clearly.
"Hmph!!"
"Bang——!!"
The table exploded!
In that instant, all eyes turned to the bearded old man.
"What's gotten into him, blowing up like that for no apparent reason—did he eat explosives or what?"
The crowd whispered and pointed, unable to understand why the old man under their scrutiny had erupted in such anger.
"Senior, do you need help? Your complexion doesn't look great. Do you need us to help?!"
A bold man approached Tang Hao.
"Hmph! Get lost!"
In that moment, Tang Hao yelled at him.
Though he raised his voice, he did no physical harm to the other man.
Impulsiveness is the devil!
"Oh no, we're in big trouble now."
"Hss—"!
A terrifying gaze turned towards them.
Tang Hao's eyes were staring straight at that group of people!
"Isn't that Haotian Senior? How come he's here as well? It's very possible that he heard what we just said."
The man cowered timidly.
"Don't be afraid. Everyone is here. If worse comes to worst, we can just confront him head-on. Isn't he just Hao Tian Douluo? What's there to be afraid of? Look at how scared you all are."
A burly man said to the crowd.
He was holding a close-combat weapon in his hand, a golden axe.
He gripped it tightly in his hand.
He could very possibly reveal his most powerful side at any moment to show everyone.
To let everyone witness who the real powerhouse is!
"Yo-heave-ho, I was wondering who it could be. So, it's Haotian Senior!"
"Did we offend you in any way, Senior? I will take extra care to instruct my disciples to pay more attention. Please forgive us for our faults, haha."
The burly man said with a smile.
He was quick to change his face, having just spouted some bravado in front of his disciples.
Truly a person who's dying for face, so capable of putting on an act!
Tang Hao's gaze was directed straight at the burly man.
A gaze of death!
"Alright then, we won't bother Haotian Senior any further."
Survival was the burly man's priority, and he dared not say another word.
Frightened, he hastily retreated.
This time, Tang Hao did not take action against the others.
He merely showed his anger, and everyone had already sensed his mood; no one dared to confront him at the moment. Although the burly man appeared brave on the surface, in reality, he was terrified to death!
Intriguingly, there were two things that triggered Tang Hao's intense emotions!
The first was that Tang San had always been a weakling who could not defeat others!
Tang Hao could not tolerate others saying that Tang San was worthless, just trash.
The second was that Martial Soul Hall had invited a mysterious person - Ye Feng. He was somewhat familiar with people from Martial Soul Hall and of course, would allow Ye Feng to join them.
There was no need to specifically mention who that person was!
Hearing the other party's words, he also understood that the mysterious person they referred to was Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was indeed outstanding, something he had to admit, aside from Tang Hao!!
And just like that, Tang Hao understood that Ye Feng was planning to ally with Martial Soul Hall to capture the hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
If Tang San came to know of this, it would be bad.
A sense of impending crisis was about to strike!
A terrible war was about to begin anew.
Ye Feng!!
So Ye Feng had run over to Martial Soul Hall's side.
Damn it, you really know how to play people, leading us around by the nose.
It's a pity, though! You've ultimately been discovered by me, and I believe we'll be seeing each other again very soon!
And it will also be for the last time!
It seems that only Xiaosan is not yet aware of Martial Soul Hall's plans.
Still in the dark.
All over the Daluo Continent, both inside and outside the inner city, it's known that Martial Soul Hall is going to capture a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Only Xiaosan ignorantly sets out to find Xiaowu, taking such a mad and life-threatening risk. Only he could be capable of such an act.
No one could stop him.
I must find him before Xiaosan finds Xiaowu, or else Xiaosan could be done for.
He might not be able to protect Xiaowu by himself.
Martial Soul Hall has thousands of outstanding teams; they could easily kill Tang San!
Right now, Tang Hao was just worried that Xiaosan would struggle to deal with Martial Soul Hall!
Xiaosan, you must wait for me.
Tang Hao silently chanted in his heart.
The inn then returned to calmness.
