Chapter 89: The First Open Clash with Spirit Hall

"Stop."

Outside the city of Notting, three figures wearing Spirit Hall uniforms suddenly jumped out in front of the disguised master and disciple Youchen Youxing.

If the white-robed deacons and servants of the Wuhun Hall of Notting City saw this scene, they would definitely be surprised.

Because the hall master, who had the highest status in their eyes, was standing behind the man who was speaking with a respectful look, as if he was following his lead.

This person is exactly the man who You Chen observed to have reached the Soul King level.

One Soul King, two Soul Masters, plus You Chen himself, the four yellow-robed deacons of the Notting City Spirit Hall can be said to be gathered together.

Faced with such a scene, You Chen did not show any sign of panic.

He even took off his hood, and then leisurely played with his apprentice's hair, and then said, "I remember that our branch hall should not have a rule that does not allow yellow-robed deacons to ask for leave, right? Didn't I already say on the leave note that I would take my apprentice out for some training?"

Hearing this, the Soul King just looked arrogant and raised his head and said, "It is not up to you to decide whether there are rules or not. In this world, the strong are respected after all! If you want to help your disciple obtain the soul ring, we can arrange another deacon to be in charge. As for you... Deacon Youchen, now, after the decision of the three of us in yellow, return to the city immediately!"

You Chen frowned slightly: "Of course, my disciple's spirit ring should be arranged by me as a teacher in the best way, instead of just letting someone else come and put an ordinary spirit ring on him casually."

"You Chen, this is not a negotiation with you! This is an announcement and an order from the Spirit Hall!"

"The minority obeys the majority?" You Chen raised his eyebrows.

"No." The middle-aged Soul King said in a commanding tone, "The weak obey the strong."

"what……"

You Chen sighed softly and shook his head, "Remember to go back and tell Bibi Dong that next time, even if you send someone to supervise me, remember to send someone who has some sense."

"How dare you address His Holiness the Pope by his name? Do you think you are—"

The Soul King shouted angrily, but suddenly a strong wind blew and stardust flew.

In the blink of an eye, You Chen completed the martial soul possession, and five soul rings, one yellow, two purple and two black, appeared. A pair of dragon wings stretched out, and he grabbed You Xing in one hand and flew into the sky.

"Martial spirit, appear!"

Seeing this, the middle-aged Soul King didn't bother to reprimand You Chen. As soon as he finished speaking, his soul power fluctuated, and a pitch-black iron chain appeared in his hand.

At the same time, the other two Soul Masters, one of whom was an auxiliary system, also used auxiliary soul skills to bless the Soul King. As for the other one, who was the master of a branch hall, he just completed the martial soul possession and then began to release long-range soul skills to the sky.

But the accuracy and power...are a bit sloppy.

But the Soul King didn't expect much from the other two at first. Although You Chen showed his Soul King cultivation, he had expected such a situation and was naturally not afraid. Although he was not a super-age Soul King of the new era, he had the best soul ring ratio of the old era!
The fifth soul ring, the black ten thousand year soul ring flickered, and the pitch-black iron chain flew up in the wind, instantly forming a net that stretched towards Youchen's frame.

Woo——.

The mournful wail of the wind resounded through the sky. You Chen activated his third soul ring. The violent airflow was like a spherical vortex that exploded with You Chen as the center, tearing the net into pieces in an instant.

"What!?"

The Soul King widened his eyes in disbelief: "How could he use his thousand-year soul skill to defeat my ten-thousand-year soul skill so easily!?" Such a fact that went against his common sense happened before his eyes, and the arrogant middle-aged Soul King was stunned.

You Chen looked down at him and said coldly, "You are showing off your power without even knowing the strength of the person you are threatening. You also said nonsense like 'the strong should obey the weak'... You are such an idiot with a shit brain. If you are not from the Spirit Hall, I will kill you here today."

After saying this, he walked away.

The middle-aged Soul King's face turned pale and blue.

Only the third soul skill defeated his strongest fifth soul skill. The difference in strength between the two sides was so great that they were not on the same level. You Chen still had two soul skills to use, plus that high mobility... It was a joke to keep the opponent.

The Soul Sect leader who came with him to take office looked around with a somewhat bewildered expression, while the old Hall Master who had been slacking off before had already lowered his head and pretended to count the ants on the ground.

After a while, the middle-aged Soul King said in a deep voice: "Quickly inform that master. You Chen's strength is far beyond expectations. If he is not a Soul Emperor, he can't even be restricted!"

……

You Chen had naturally anticipated that people from the Spirit Hall would come to stop him.

Of course, it was impossible for Bibi Dong to let You Chen escape from her sight easily.

It would be fine if You Chen left Notting City by himself, but leaving You Xing in the city. Although Bibi Dong would not think that she could control You Chen, she would not let the members of the Spirit Hall of Notting City directly stop him.

If You Chen really abandons You Xing and disappears for a long time, Bibi Dong will probably take action. Her approach would probably be to control You Xing first, and then secretly hunt down You Chen while issuing a notice that You Chen may have defected.

But the fact that the master and the disciple left at the same time was an obvious signal of "running away" for Bibi Dong. It was an act that touched her bottom line and she would never let it go easily.

In fact, You Chen can now use the Starlight Incarnation and the Breath-Containing Technique to sneak out without alerting the small shrimps in Notting City, and then sneak back quietly after finishing his business. During this time, no one will notice that he has left Notting City.

Just like killing Bai Hu before, he could just leave the city for a short time without being discovered, and it could be done just by relying on the Breath-Concealing Technique.

The reason for not doing so is very simple.

First, he had no intention of really leaving Nottingham City. Since he would come back anyway, there was no need to easily reveal this trump card that could really deceive Bibi Dong and allow him to escape.

Second, reduce Bibi Dong’s vigilance.

As the saying goes, if you borrow, you must return. It is not difficult to borrow again. After the experience of leaving and returning once, Bibi Dong would be less vigilant about his next departure. After all, he was just going out to do something, not really defecting.

Besides, he will start a task harvesting plan for the Spirit Hall members later, which can also reduce the probability of Bibi Dong associating it with himself.

3. Continue to strengthen Bibi Dong’s misjudgment of Youxing.

In order to obtain spirit rings for his disciples, he was willing to do anything even if it meant conflict with Spirit Hall members and even openly going against Bibi Dong... Compared to You Chen's restrained style in the past, in Bibi Dong's perspective, wasn't this a sign of special importance?

What practical effect does this approach have?
Being close can make Bibi Dong feel more at ease about You Chen.

As for the distant future... It's hard to say for Youchen, maybe he will play a key role one day?
