Similar to the Diamond White Armor Dragon's martial soul from the Elephant Armor Sect, their White Earth Armor Dragon's defense was also exceptionally outstanding.
The soldiers of the Spirit Empire conducted a carpet search of every inch of Gengxin City, their spears ready for anything out of the ordinary.
Time ticked by.
Although the soldiers, all born from soul masters, were moving quickly, keen observers could notice subtle, slow changes in the energy shield covering Gengxin City.
"Have you found anyone?"
Xie Yue, having searched a full sweep at great speed without success, asked the imperial soldiers behind him with a dark expression.
The soldier shook his head, "I'm very sorry, Lord Xie Yue, but we still haven't found any trace of Tang Sui."
A flicker of thought crossed Xie Yue's eyes, "Did you thoroughly search the easily overlooked corners and seemingly impossible hiding spots in the shadows? Not even there?"
Even with Tang Sui's domain being tricky to defend against, each search party consisted of ten people.
Ten pairs of eyes focused on different locations; even if Tang Sui could freely change her landing point through her domain, she couldn't have gone undiscovered even once!
The soldier replied without hesitation, "No. Lord Xie Yue, we've conducted a carpet search of the entire Gengxin City. We even found a hidden basement beneath the main hall of the Blacksmith's Association, but the basement was semi-enclosed, and we found no abnormalities." Not to mention capturing Tang Sui.
"How could this be?" Xie Yue murmured.
It shouldn't be.
Yan and Sect Master Tuoba were personally guarding the rear city gate and said Tang Sui hadn't managed to leave Gengxin City, so how could they not find her?
At this moment, if Bibi Dong hadn't ordered them to scour all usable resources from Gengxin City before they departed, Xie Yue would have wanted to just blow up the city and see how Tang Sui could escape.
"Lord Xie Yue, although the Saint Dragon Sect's formation can be maintained for a long time, it also consumes a lot of powerful soul masters' soul power. If not, let's move the city's supplies first," a soul master general who accompanied the expedition advised Xie Yue.
"Once the supplies are moved, this Gengxin City will have no further significance. We can then bury the city and the person within. What do you think, Lord Xie Yue?"
Xie Yue glanced at the Saint Dragon Sect disciples who were still supporting the soul power barrier and nodded heavily, issuing his order.
"It can only be this way."
The horn for assembly sounded from a massive spirit beast horn.
Receiving the command, the soldiers immediately stopped all their actions and headed towards the source of the horn.
Tang Sui, hidden in the shadow of a chandelier on the ceiling, narrowed her eyes. She felt the Spirit Empire soldiers searching the house outside leave. About half a minute later, after the prolonged horn sound ceased, she leisurely emerged from the shadow world. She unleashed her vast mental power, completely unconcerned about it being discovered by others.
This was because her mental power had now grown to a terrifying concentration.
Unless a Titled Douluo above level 95, or a soul master with a mental power as vast as the ocean, personally arrived, even someone as powerful as Tuoba Xi, or even Hu Liena who specialized in mental cultivation, wouldn't be able to detect her formidable mental power.
When her mental power saw that the Spirit Empire soldiers had begun to move the city's supplies, before Tang Sui could speak, Da Fei exploded:
"These detestable tax-stealers! Those are the resources we were eyeing! They're ours!"
Da Fei, who already symbolized anger and chaos, when he got angry, besides the fox mask symbolizing wisdom remaining composed, even the ape mask, skilled in manipulating hearts, was influenced by the anger radiating from his companion. His already large crimson eyes became even redder, as if they could bleed, and he began to chatter incessantly.
"We can't let them steal it! Get rid of them! Do it now! I can't wait!"
Fu Shen's smiling old man face even strangely and灵动ly drooped his eyebrows, his tone filled with conflict, "Although I really want to kill them, wouldn't it put the little master in trouble if we act now?"
Lao Mian, Lao Mian chose to remain silent.
The intense emotions from Da Fei influenced Tang Sui, the master, to some extent.
The most obvious manifestation was a surge of intense killing intent in her heart.
But it was unclear if it was thanks to her blood temperature no longer being elevated, the rising anger was quickly suppressed, and her eyes returned to clarity.
"No need to be so angry. Think calmly, isn't this free labor?"
Her words extinguished Da Fei's anger.
The ape mask, which had returned to reason, "......"
It recalled its previous wise statement, then turned and delivered a sharp slap.
"Slap!"
An invisible force formed a palm that struck out unexpectedly, spinning Da Fei around like a top before it stopped.
Knowing it was in the wrong, it didn't retaliate. It listened as the ape mask said menacingly, "But we can't just let them off easily. What if they think you're too cautious and stop maintaining the formation by withdrawing their soul power? In my opinion, you need to go out for a bit."
Tang Sui, who had the same thought as the ape mask, glanced at the soldiers who were the first to start looting the Blacksmith's Guild hall. Her figure flashed, and she disappeared from her spot.
"Found her!"
The moment an unfamiliar and powerful soul power fluctuation appeared, the imperial soldiers monitoring from the sky discovered the black figure soaring upwards. With a loud shout, they rushed forward, holding their spears.
The shout immediately attracted countless attention.
"Capture her!"
"Squads one to three, continue loading! The rest of you, go!"
"Yes!"
"Wait, she's trying to run! Quickly! Maintain the formation!"
Discordant voices rose from various places within the city.
Tang Sui, soaring high in the sky, blasted away the soldiers who surrounded her with weapons. Under the watchful golden eyes of other flashing white and gold white armor dragons, she, like a shooting star chasing the moon, with her immense soul power, slammed into their condensed soul power barrier.
"Cough!"
Some Saint Dragon Sect disciples responsible for maintaining that area, with lower soul power, coughed up a mouthful of blood. The white armor dragons let out mournful cries, and other white armor dragon companions moved closer to fill the energy gaps.
"Tang Sui, where do you think you're running! Fourth Soul Skill, Lava Surge!"
Yan, who finally caught a glimpse of Tang Sui's tail, his eyes filled with excited bloodlust. The Flame Lord, burning with orange-red flames, raised its massive hand, which resembled flowing lava. Like a waking volcano, it began to tremble, cracking open the volcanic rock that sealed it. Huge lava blocks mixed with deadly, scorching lava rained down like falling meteorites, smashing upwards towards Tang Sui.
Tang Sui, who hadn't intended to break through the barrier with a single palm, used the 2.0 version of the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, moving amidst the dense barrage of meteorites.
"You think that's all?! Eat my fist!"
Yan shouted, and the giant Flame Lord, along with its owner, clenched their right fists, aiming at Tang Sui's figure. Along with other subsequent dazzling soul skill attacks, they descended.
"Boom boom—!!"
——Author's Note——
The moment Mo Li discovered the surge in collections today, he was stunned. The second moment was a painful mask, because Mo Li still couldn't quite get back up.
On the fourth day, he finally recovered from the fever but became completely mute. His mother even laughed out loud when she saw Mo Li speaking only through an artificial voice. tAt
