Supreme Dragon Lord

Chapter 466: Shadow Soul Reappears!

At that moment, Long Chen also sensed Xu Huanhuan’s gaze and could not help but look up in her direction.

Long Xin, with her keen perception, also noticed something. When she saw the profound meaning in Xu Huanhuan’s gaze, her slender brows furrowed.

Long Chen’s expression remained calm, but he was stunned to see Xu Huanhuan staring at him like a predator eyeing its prey.

What is going on?

Before Long Chen could process what was happening, a faint smile graced Xu Huanhuan’s lips.

Upon seeing her smile, everyone present was completely dumbfounded.

"Look! She actually smiled at me!"

"Am I dreaming?"

"Are you blind? She wasn’t smiling at you, she was clearly smiling at me!"

"You’re all delusional. That smile was for me!"

"..."

That single smile from Xu Huanhuan struck a chord in everyone’s hearts, sending their imaginations into overdrive.

Hearing their arguments, Long Chen shook his head. These people have such wild imaginations.

One wave of oppressive aura had barely settled before another came crashing in. A dense, murderous aura surged skyward. A blood-red aura instantly enveloped everyone’s hearts, sending a chill down their spines.

A young man appeared, shrouded in a murderous aura that made everyone recoil in fear. His eyes were especially unsettling, tinged with the color of blood, as if they belonged to a demon from Hell.

"The Xueyun Sect!"

"They’re here too!"

Upon seeing the members of the Xueyun Sect, everyone’s faces filled with fear. They instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to look at them directly.

The Xueyun Sect was also a first-class force, but its presence was far more terrifying than that of Ancient Maple Hall and the Wonderful Sound Sect, who had arrived earlier. Its members were known for their ruthlessness and brutality, stopping at nothing to achieve their goals. Many powerful experts had clashed with the Xueyun Sect over conflicts of interest, only to end up dead without ever knowing how it happened. Everyone was aware of the Xueyun Sect’s methods, so unless absolutely necessary, no one wanted to provoke them.

Long Chen swept a glance over them, his expression growing grave. The aura they emanated was very similar to that of the Heavenly Demon Sect members, but the murderous and bloody intent it contained was far stronger.

Lei Yujing reminded Long Chen and the others, "In the Domain Alliance Grand Tournament, these three are the most likely candidates to vie for the championship. Of course, aside from them, we can’t discount the talented participants from other forces. In any case, their strength is formidable, so you all must be extremely careful."

"Understood."

Long Chen, Long Xin, and Tang Le all nodded.

Once the representatives from the first-class forces had passed, Feng Lin and his group finally steadied their nerves. He turned his head, gave Lei Yujing and Long Chen a cold glance, and said indifferently, "You’re lucky today.

"But you won’t be so lucky next time. Cherish the little time you have left. When the Domain Alliance Grand Tournament truly begins, you’re in for it!"

"We shall see. I’d like to see what you can possibly do to our Jinglei Sect," Long Chen retorted, unbowed.

Hearing Long Chen’s words, Feng Lin’s expression turned even uglier.

He snorted coldly. "Just you wait!"

After Feng Lin and the other Heavenly Demon Sect disciples left, Lei Yujing spoke up. "Let’s go. It’s about time we met up with the Sect Master and the others."

"Yes!" the Jinglei Sect disciples replied in unison, promptly following Lei Yujing from the area.

Meanwhile, in a distant part of the crowd, a man in a black robe watched Long Chen with a chilling smile creeping onto his lips. If Long Chen had seen him, he would have surely recognized this man. He was Shadow Soul, the very person who had captured Long Dou from the Long Family in Dragon City.

Good lad. You haven’t let me down, just a small step away from the Warlord Realm. This is getting more and more interesting.

Seeing the Jinglei Sect’s arrogance, Feng Lin seethed, his face as dark as ink.

Just then, a cold and hoarse voice reached him. "During the Domain Alliance Grand Tournament, I want you to target that young man ruthlessly."

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Feng Lin’s expression changed drastically. He immediately showed his respect by cupping his hands toward the speaker. "Elder Shadow Soul!"

Shadow Soul nodded slightly.

Target that young man ruthlessly?

Feng Lin looked confused. "Elder Shadow Soul, he’s just a wet-behind-the-ears brat. Is it really necessary to go to such extremes for him? This..."

Before he could finish, Shadow Soul shot him a cold glance. "This is not for you to question. You just need to do as I say!"

A shiver went through Feng Lin’s heart. He nodded quickly and said, "I was wrong to question you. Rest assured, Elder, dealing with that boy will be a simple matter. We will definitely accomplish the task you have given us!"

Shadow Soul nodded again before turning to leave, vanishing from their sight.

After Shadow Soul was gone, Feng Lin let out a long sigh of relief, his body finally relaxing.

A Heavenly Demon Sect disciple approached him and asked in a low voice, "Senior Brother Feng, what could that kid have possibly done to offend Elder Shadow Soul? For the Elder to personally order us to target him..."

Feng Lin glared at him coldly. "Why are you asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Why don’t you go ask Elder Shadow Soul yourself?"

The disciple immediately shut his mouth, not daring to speak another word.

Shadow Soul found a secluded spot. A wisp of red aura seeped out from his Storage Ring. Seeing this, he hurriedly channeled his Battle qi into the ring. In response, more and more red aura poured out, eventually projecting a towering figure.

The man exuded an imposing, murderous aura, his presence one of unmatched dominance. As soon as he appeared, the surrounding space filled with a heavy, oppressive pressure, and the very air seemed to cool by several degrees.

"Sect Master!" Shadow Soul’s face filled with reverence as he cupped his hands in a bow.

The man looked down at him and asked indifferently, "Have you seen that fellow yet?"

Shadow Soul quickly responded, "Reporting to the Sect Master, I saw him just a moment ago."

The man asked in a deep voice, "What is his current condition?"

Shadow Soul answered, "He should have reached the Ninth Level of the War King Realm by now, just one step away from the Warlord Realm."

After hearing Shadow Soul’s report, the man nodded in satisfaction. "Good. This progress is excellent. Once he reaches the Warlord Realm, he can serve as the Medicinal Primer to help the Demon Emperor recover from his injuries."

Then, in a tone that brooked no argument, he commanded, "During this period, you must keep a close eye on him at all times. There can be absolutely no mistakes!"
