Thinking of this, Porcupine Douluo's head only felt more painful...
These Soul Masters from the Martial Soul Hall entering the Aquipeia Forest are probably here for a purpose completely opposite to mine, and specifically to protect the people of the Xingluo Empire!
In that case, if I want to complete the task given by the Holy Daughter in secret, not only must I kill the people of the Xingluo Empire, but I also need to eliminate these Soul Masters from the Martial Soul Hall!
Though I'm not a kind-hearted person, I don't want to attack people from the Martial Soul Hall!
Weighing the pros and cons, he took a deep breath and comforted himself, "Ah, it seems I can only give up assassinating the people of the Xingluo Empire. Hopefully, the Holy Daughter won't blame me at that time."
Of course, the most influential factor among them is that I also feel that now is not the time to trigger a war between the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire, which would allow abyssal creatures to take advantage!
Without any hesitation, confirming that the Martial Soul Hall people are about to contact the people from the Xingluo Empire, he quickly concealed his aura and quietly left...
....
At the same time!
In the Xingluo Empire's team, Davis' eyes widened, and he immediately shouted to stop, "Everyone, halt, there's something ahead!!"
Suddenly, dozens of powerful auras appeared without any concealment that even he could clearly sense!
This means the people ahead are either allies or enemies!!
As the words fell, the other Soul Masters and soldiers from the Xingluo Empire reacted, releasing their Martial Souls and preparing for battle...
Seeing this situation, the non-Soul Master Daijins beside them hurriedly asked, "Davis, what's happening?"
Davis initially didn't want to answer, but still casually replied, "No time to explain, everyone needs to be cautious; someone is rapidly approaching us!"
The Daijins were immediately shocked, taking a slight step back....
They are just ordinary people. If slightly affected by the battle between Soul Masters, they could die instantly!!
In an instant, countless figures gradually emerged...
Seeing them still approaching, Davis shouted without hesitation, "Stop there, who are you, and what's your purpose here!!"
The Martial Soul Hall group froze for a moment but still halted their steps...
Leading the Soul Douluo Warrior glanced down at the former, casually responding, "Davis, we are people from the Martial Soul Hall, commanded by Your Holiness to specifically protect you as you leave the Aquipeia Forest!"
Upon hearing this, Davis' expression not only didn't relax but instead questioned, "How did you know we were in the Aquipeia Forest??"
They shouldn't have sought help from the Martial Soul Hall, and would Pope Bibi Dong be that kind-hearted?
He hasn't forgotten the scene of being humiliated the last time he went to Martial Soul City...
The Soul Douluo Warrior frowned clearly displeased by this question...
"This... Davis, your entire team suddenly disappeared near the Aquipeia Forest. I think anyone would consider the likelihood of encountering an accident in the Aquipeia Forest the greatest, right?"
If the other party wasn't the Xingluo Empire's prince, just with that attitude, he would have slapped them by now!!
The Daijins couldn't help but discuss eagerly...
"Davis, it seems these guys truly came to welcome us!"
"Yes, with their protection, our journey out of the Aquipeia Forest should be safer!"
"Hmph, just because they say they're from the Martial Soul Hall, does that mean they're actually from the Martial Soul Hall? Who knows if they have other motives!!"
"Did the Soul Hall Pope specially send Soul Masters to greet us?? Would she be so kind-hearted??"
Then, they all looked at Davis, waiting for his answer...
Unexpectedly, the former responded expressionlessly, "Sorry, we're currently fine and already know the way out of the Aquipeia Forest, so there's no need to bother you!"
"If there's nothing else, please leave."
Instead of being constantly wary of these guys...
It's better to leave by ourselves!!
The leading Soul Douluo's face darkened, his fists tightening as he lowered his voice, "Davis, what do you mean? Do you think our Martial Soul Hall will harm you?"
Davis denied the other's statement, "No, I didn't mean that."
The Soul Douluo's temper rose, his tone slightly threatening, "If that's the case, why are you unwilling to follow us out of the Aquipeia Forest? Don't forget, although this isn't the core area, you could still encounter abyssal creatures and powerful soul beasts at any time!!"
The other party is merely a child, a little pressure should make them change their mind!
Davis didn't show any fear, instead declaring with resolve, "I mentioned earlier, we don't need anyone's protection. If you don't know how to account for this to the Soul Hall Pope, push the matter onto me!"
The Soul Douluo's pupils narrowed in, "You're simply ungrateful!!"
"If that's the case, then don't blame the Martial Soul Hall if you meet with any accidents!"
"Everyone, heed my orders and return to Martial Soul City!!"
These Xingluo Empire people insist on courting death, and I have no interest in finding trouble!!
After all, I've conveyed the Pope's words!!
Soon, the Soul Masters from the Martial Soul Hall swept the Xingluo Empire people with extremely angry eyes, then left in grandiose fashion...
Watching their departing backs, Davis couldn't help but sigh...
At this moment, the Daijins beside him looked at the former, their eyes full of doubt...
"Davis, why didn't we agree to the Martial Soul Hall's people? With their escort, we can safely leave here."
"I know, but this is the Aquipeia Forest, and the other party claimed to be from the Martial Soul Hall without any proof of identity."
"If they are disguised abyssal creatures, we might all perish here."
The Daijins naturally understood this reasoning, "This..."
Davis interrupted what they wanted to say next, "Alright, no need to say more, we've now confirmed the way out of the Aquipeia Forest. Given it's too late today, let's leave early tomorrow."
They could choose to leave now, but doing so would heavily burden the Xingluo Empire soldiers, as not everyone is a Soul Master with strong bodies!
The Daijins exchanged glances, then said in unison, "Since Davis has said so, we naturally have no objection!"
Forget it, the Martial Soul Hall people have already left, and discussing this now is meaningless!
Moreover, as Davis mentioned, they've fully figured out the way to leave, whether led by Martial Soul Hall people or not, it makes no difference!!!
