Chapter 107: Great Mobilization

  When Xuan Yuan Yue heard that the Sword Sect had destroyed her family, she knew it would be difficult to avenge them unless the Hidden World and the Ancient Xuan Yuan Family intervened. She hadn't expected to hear Tang Yan say those inhuman things were within the Sword Sect yesterday, which made her heart lose hope. The hope she placed on Tang Yan was already slim. Now hearing Tang Yan say he's going to die in battle, she knew Tang Yan had no confidence in defeating the Soul Temple.

  She is now in love with Tang Yan, and she doesn't want Tang Yan to die at the hands of her family's enemies because of her. Not to mention Xuan Yuan Yue, even Zi Lan and Nan Gong Xiang Xue who are by her side also oppose Tang Yan going alone to Jianzong Mountain. Of course, Dong Fang Wan Er on the side is secretly delighted, hoping that Tang Yan will die at the hands of Dui Hun Hall.

  Will they let Tang Yan off the hook if he doesn't bother them? The deputy hall master from another place in the Purple Dragon Empire has already received a request letter last night. With the permission of the main hall master, he brought five direct-line Dou Zong-level guys with him and rushed to Jianzong Mountain to meet them all.

  Apart from their actions, the Purple Dragon Empire and various ancient families also began to intervene in the preparations for war. However, they were unaware that the Soul Temple's main force was currently seizing control of the Tian Dan Pavilion. If the Tian Dan Pavilion fell into the hands of the Soul Temple, they would only be able to follow its dispatch orders. This move seemed to put the Ling Temple at risk of life and death. The master of the Tian Dan Pavilion was a Dou Zun, and all the elder members were Dou Shengs, with extremely powerful forces below them. It was impossible to take down the Tian Dan Pavilion in a short period of time. However, for now, two elders' souls from the Tian Dan Pavilion had already been seized by the opposing side. Now, step by step, they slowly began to erode the interior...

  "Go! Go......"

  A four-horse carriage was galloping on the official road, driven by Nan Gong Bo Liang. Inside the carriage sat five girls with pale and frightened faces: Nan Gong Xiang Xue, Xuan Yuan Yue, Dong Fang Wan Er, Zi Lan, and Zhu Er. As for Tang Yan, he stood on top of the carriage with his feet, his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, looking like an extraordinary master!

  Where was the Snowflake on him? In order to reduce the weight of the car, he had already put the Snowflake back into the spatial ring. Now it didn't have much effect on his cultivation. So he simply put away the Snowflake and hurried on the road, hoping to arrive at the Purple Dragon Academy early. He thought that no matter what, the Purple Dragon Sacred Soul must be swallowed up.

  "Little hero, if you keep running like this, you'll run the horse to death!" Tang Yan said, sitting on the horse in front of the carriage driven by Nangong Bo Ya.

  "Is there any news from your empire?" Tang Yan didn't care about Ma's life or death, he just really wanted to know if the Purple Dragon Empire had sent a powerful expert to help him.

  As for those sects, heh heh, after Tang Yan spread the news yesterday, all the Dou Ling and Dou Wang who were following them retreated back to their respective sects. Now only Tang Yan and his group are left on the road, from leaving the small town till now, they have been rushing non-stop, looking even more anxious than if they were running for their lives.

  "There's news, Bo Ya's message has been sent back to the palace, His Majesty will dispatch ten Dou Huangs and three elders from the three ancient families in the country. A total of ten Dou Huangs and three Dou Zongs, I believe they will meet with us the day after tomorrow." said Nan Gong Bo Liang as he drove the carriage.

  "Is that Dou Huang? Isn't coming here a death wish for Dou Huang? Why haven't the ancestors of those sects come out?" Tang Yan asked, thinking about the opponent's strength.

  "No news yet!" said Nan Gong Bo Liang.

  "I knew those guys were unreliable, damn it, the Soul Temple is going down, just wait till I get back to the Imperial Capital, you'll be the first ones I wipe out!" Tang Yan cursed.

  "Your Excellency, I think these few horses won't last much longer!" said Nan Gong Bo Liang.

  "How much farther is it to leave this town?" Tang Yan ignored his question.

  "There are still three more hours." replied Nangong Boliang.

  "Run! Keep running!"

  This morning, the old man in Longjie had already told Tang Yan that those soul-hooking guys would definitely come back to find them. Two Douzong couldn't beat him, they would mobilize more powerful people. So the old man asked Tang Yan to rush to Zilong College before they found Tang Yan, no matter what, he couldn't be ambushed halfway. Because the old man simply couldn't appear again to help him, he had told Tang Yan that if he appeared again, he would either be captured by the opponent or his soul would fly away.

  Sitting in the carriage were Zilan and Xuan Yuan Yue, two beautiful women. They felt as if they had returned to the scene of their escape in the mountains that day, with an expression on their faces even more tense than Tang Yan's.

  Half an hour later, on this official road, a miserable cry of an animal was heard: "Hiss!" A miserable cry of the horse, two strong horses had fallen to the ground and were foaming at the mouth, yes, they were foaming at the mouth, not dead.

  "Everyone, get off the horse carriage and run to the next town!" Tang Yanfeng rushed into the flying carriage, holding Zi Lan Xiao Mei and Xuan Yuan Yue in his arms.

  At the same time, Nangong Bo Ya wrapped his arm around Zhu Er and flew after Tang Yan's back. As for Nangong Xiang Xue and Dongfang Wan'er, their strength was that of a Dou Wang. Although they hadn't reached the level where they could fly with wings like Tang Yan, their speed wasn't slow either. With the Dou Qi in their bodies, they followed at a speed of over 160 kilometers per hour.

  Within an hour, they arrived at the next town. The first thing to do was to find a carriage and continue on their journey. With money being no object now that Tang Yan had plenty of it, he spent several hundred gold coins to buy a carriage and the best horses, letting them rest inside the carriage.

  "Zhu'er, this time is more dangerous. Among us, your strength is the weakest. It's not convenient for us to bring you along on the road. How about this? I'll leave a few thousand gold coins with you, and you can hire some mercenaries and carriages to follow behind us. We'll meet up again in the Imperial Capital!" Tang Yan puts a magic crystal card worth 10,000 into Zhu'er's hands, and also gives her a small bag of gold coins, about several dozen.

  "Uh-huh, Zhu'er knows, you guys be careful!" Zhu'er nodded in understanding of Tang Yan's words.

  "You're the same, let's get going!" Tan Yan said a few words and immediately rushed to leave this small town. Then he asked Nan Gong Bo Tang, who was also rushing: "How long will it take to reach the next town?"

  "If we don't stop on the way, we should arrive by night!" said Nan Gong Bo Liang.

  "It's best to arrive before nightfall!" Tang Yan said after getting information about the Soul Temple from the old man.

  The old man had told Tang Yan that the Soul Temple had a special power, which was that they were much stronger at night than during the day. This was something that Nan Gong Bo Liang would have thought of even if Tang Yan hadn't mentioned it. Although no one from the Soul Temple had appeared in several thousand years, the palace and historical records still contained some knowledge about the Soul Temple.

  What's the situation with the Soul Temple?

  They had learned through their moles within the Situ family that Tang Yan and his group were rushing day and night towards the Imperial Capital, and also knew that the ten Dou Huangs and three Dou Zongs of the Imperial Capital were heading towards Tang Yan, and would meet him in two days. Apart from this news, they also knew that along the way, Tang Yan had abandoned a female servant in a small town, it could be said that every move of Tang Yan's did not escape their intelligence.

  "Ten Dou Huang, three Dou Zong, haha, they really do think highly of our Soul Temple!" The deputy temple master heard this news and couldn't help but laugh.

  "Old fellow, the master has said it before, that kid's soul must be captured no matter what means are used!" The branch hall master who had just arrived at Jianzong said.

  "I know, let's act together, and we won't let him get away. Before those so-called strong ones arrive, we'll catch him halfway!" he said.

  "Me too!"

  "Everyone set off! If the forbidden land is opened, you will be the first batch of meritorious officials!"

  "Yes!"

  The ten guys above the Douzong level said in unison, and then followed the master of the divided hall to disappear into the Sword Sect's rear mountain forbidden land cemetery, rushing towards Tang Yan and others. As for the Sword Sect, the Sword Emperor also knew more or less about their actions, with ten Douzongs and two Dou Saints taking action personally, he was delighted in his heart. He didn't believe that the ten Douzongs and two Dou Saints couldn't take down Tang Yan, if they really couldn't take him down, he could only dig a hole for himself!

  On the way, everyone knows that Jianzong is a running dog of Soul Temple, and also knows that Jianzong exterminated the Xuan Yuan family in the mortal world. This news was released by the Situ family. One point, it's very clear, said he helped Soul Temple get the Dragon Jade Symbol to open the forbidden land, once let Soul Temple get what's inside, the Douwu Continent may fall into the hands of those who are neither human nor ghost in Soul Temple.

  "Drive, drive..."

  Tang Yan had entered the small town before nightfall, but they didn't rest in the town and instead continued to change horses and hurry on their way. Tang Yan thought that if he sped up a bit, he could meet up with the strong cultivators from the Imperial Capital who were two days away by tomorrow evening, which would be safer.

  Because Tang Yan knew that resting in the town would not give him any sense of security, as strong people fighting each other would only put the safety of the townspeople at risk. It was better to leave the town quickly and find another way to deal with those undead creatures.

  "Old man, is there no way to make me grow a bit bigger? I always feel like something's off." Tang Yan sat cross-legged on top of the horse carriage, communicating with the old man inside the Dragon Ring.

  "I don't have Dou Zong Dan, but I still have a Dou Huang Dan. Why not let one of your red-clad beauties become the Dou Huang instead? That way, when we go to war, it can alleviate some of your burden!" The old man said weakly and powerlessly to Tang Yan.

  Although the Dragon Ring was surrounded by thick spiritual energy, the spiritual energy could not heal the old man's soul trauma, only Tang Yan found the sacred medicine to heal his soul.

  "It's come to this, it can only be like this!" Tang Yan heard the old man's words and also agreed with his point of view. Anyway, Huang Dan is useless to him now, so he might as well let the beauty by his side become a fierce queen.

  To become the Dou Huang, the opponent must be a Dou Wang; otherwise, it would be impossible to suppress the imperial power within. Currently, Tang Yan has two options: one is Dongfang Wan'er, whose strength is that of a two-star Dou Wang; the other is Nangong Xiangxue, a one-star Dou Wang. As for Dongfang Wan'er, this beauty like an immortal fairy, Tang Yan likes her very much and knows she follows him because she fears he will destroy her family. As for Nangong Xiangxue, it's almost the same; she also does it for her own family's benefit. Although she often bullies him, Tang Yan doesn't dislike her and even likes this bold princess.

  If possible, Tang Yan would have liked to give the Imperial Dan to Zi Lan, but his junior sister was not even a Dou Shi. After eating it, she would only explode and die an unjust death, so Tang Yan thought for a moment and decided to give it to Nan Gong Xiang Xue instead.

  "Everyone also knows our current situation, right? Last time, two Dou Zong ambushed me together. I don't rule out the possibility that they will send several Dou Zong to attack us." Tang Yan returned to the horse carriage and said to the four beauties inside.

  "Uh-huh, I know!" Xuan Yuan Yue nodded and said.

  "I have a Dou Huang Dan here, after eating it, I can break through the Dou Huang, in this way, our combat power will increase by one point!" Tang Yan said, then took out the golden elixir given to him by the old man.

  "This..."
