The surrounding Martial Soul Hall soul masters, upon hearing this, tried to calm their minds as much as possible...
They began to utter some fierce words to boost their courage....
"What they said is correct, Holy Daughter, these abyssal creatures don't seem that powerful. Even if we can't kill them, stopping them shouldn't be a problem!"
"Elder Gui and Elder Ju are powerful warriors at the Title Douluo level. If they receive the distress signal, they will certainly rush here at the fastest speed. We only need to hold on for a while!"
"They are just some abyssal creatures, dreaming of breaking through our defenses and harming Holy Daughter and others!!"
"Everyone, don't be afraid. As long as we unite, we might not be inferior to them. After all, these creatures are just a bunch of beasts and have a significant gap in intelligence compared to us humans!"
Seeing this, Hulena secretly thought, "No matter what, those words have already boosted everyone's confidence. As long as we can hold on, even for just a moment, it's fine!"
However, just when she wanted to say something more, she heard the abyssal creature opposite her open its large mouth and emit a sharp gulping sound...
She was instantly shocked, her face turning pale, and she instinctively stepped back a few paces...
Beside her, Evil Moon hurriedly supported her, "Nana, are you okay?"
Hulena steadied herself, shaking her head, "I'm fine, I was just startled by that sudden noise!"
Upon hearing this, Evil Moon sipped his lips and said nothing more...
It was obvious she had been intimidated by the sight earlier, but this is normal. Although she is the Martial Soul Hall's Holy Daughter, she is ultimately just a girl!
Flame noticed this too, but he couldn't care about others at the moment, as his own back was also covered in cold sweat...
These abyssal creatures, upon seeing the situation, had an even fiercer red glint in their eyes, crawling out from the forest...
Such a sight made one's scalp tingle!
The leading Soul Douluo Warrior couldn't help but sneer, "Tsk, such disgusting creatures, just looking at them is revolting!!"
He had only heard of them before, but never thought that upon actually seeing the abyssal creatures, they would be so grotesque!
In comparison, soul beasts seemed incredibly cute!!
As if they sensed the meaning in his words, the abyssal creatures seemed stimulated and immediately launched an attack...
He was surprised and quickly shouted, "Everyone, act immediately, and don't let these abyssal creatures get close!!"
In the next moment, the soul masters present didn't hold back their Soul Power, each releasing their soul skills to attack the incoming abyssal creatures...
However, the effect was minimal!
Though the attacks hit the abyssal creatures, it only made them stagger back a few steps, without causing any substantial harm!!
Flame's eyes widened as he looked at the abyssal creature he had hit on the head, "Wow, are these abyssal creatures tortoises? Even after hitting their heads hard, they seem unaffected!"
Evil Moon too launched an attack on the same abyssal creature, but there was no change...
"Damn, always knew the abyssal creature's body was tough, but didn't think it could be this tough, normal attacks just can't inflict effective damage!"
Hulena gritted her teeth and said somewhat resentfully, "To kill these abyssal creatures, at least a Soul Emperor, or even Soul Sage level warrior is needed. With our strength, it's merely scratching them!"
At this moment, they truly experienced a strong sense of helplessness for the first time...
The leading Soul Douluo noticed their actions and immediately reminded, "Holy Daughter, you don't need to take action, just protect yourselves!"
"If the defense is breached by abyssal creatures, then flee immediately!!"
These Martial Soul Hall soul masters, if they die, they die, but these three mustn't encounter any accident!
Otherwise, even if he survives by luck, he couldn't escape Your Holiness's punishment!
Although a bit unwilling, Hulena and the other two had no choice but to nod in acquiescence....
Indeed, what they could do was to hope the accompanying Martial Soul Hall soul masters could hold the line!
And....
In case the defenses are breached, to find an opportunity and flee immediately!!
...
Hao Tian Clan!
Tang Hao walked out from the room where he had been resting, looking up at the sky, thinking of something, his eyes involuntarily becoming red....
"Why are you out here alone at this late hour looking at the stars?"
As the voice fell, Tang Xiao arrived before him with hands behind his back...
Returning to his senses, Tang Hao wiped the corners of his eyes, "You're still awake, big brother"
Tang Xiao sighed, "Hey, with so much happening recently, how could I fall asleep"
"Seeing your look just now, are you thinking about Ah Yin?"
Tang Hao's expression froze, but quickly softened...
"Indeed!"
"I'm wondering, if Ah Yin were still alive, seeing what I've become now, would she blame me?"
"After all, if I hadn't led Tang San on the path of a Soul Master, perhaps everything wouldn't have turned out this way!"
Tang Xiao paused for a moment before shaking his head, "Brother Hao, if Ah Yin were here, she wouldn't blame you"
"Blame it on that Qian Dao Liu of the Worship Hall, utterly devious, brainwashing Tang San, leading to a father and son conflict between you two!"
Tang Hao chuckled bitterly, "Of course I know, but I never thought Tang San would so easily believe what Qian Dao Liu said, even thinking that their hunt for me and Ah Yin was merely a misunderstanding"
Tang Xiao shook his head, "That's inevitable, back then when Tang San was expelled from the imperial palace, it was Qian Dao Liu who sheltered him"
"Looking back, I fear it was all deliberately orchestrated by Qian Dao Liu!"
Tang Hao swallowed, "Big brother, you mean to say that from the beginning, Tang San was caught in Qian Dao Liu's plot?"
This was something he hadn't considered!
Tang Xiao nodded affirmatively, "Indeed, though I didn't spend much time with Tang San, being your and Ah Yin's son, he couldn't have been reckless!"
"And definitely wouldn't offend the royal household's Xue Ke!!"
"It's entirely possible that there were other reasons behind Tang San's expulsion from the imperial palace at that time!"
"If I've guessed correctly, it's likely that Qian Dao Liu placed someone near Xue Ke, leading to all this happening!"
Tang Hao clenched his fists, "Big brother, hearing you say this, what happened to Tang San indeed seems too coincidental"
Then he slowly let go, "Regrettably, it's all too late. I suppose Tang San desperately wants to kill me, for revenge for Bear Worship"
Tang Xiao sensed his emotional turmoil and immediately interrupted, "Hey, let's stop talking about these sad things"
Then, he took out a bottle of strong wine, opened it, and drank a mouthful....
Afterward, he handed it to Tang Hao...
Tang Hao took it, didn't think much, and immediately drank a few mouthfuls...
Afterwards, neither spoke again, quietly watching the sky together...
Not long after, Tang Xiao collected his gaze, "It's late, go and rest, your injuries haven't fully recovered!"
