Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 450 Mysteries abound
The four elders died, Wu Yu died, and hundreds of members of the Evil King's Soul Instructor Group also died. The plains outside Risheng City were turned into a scorched earth, with no grass growing.

If Ji Lin had not moved the battlefield, if this sword had landed on Risheng City, this medium-sized city would probably have become a ruin and a dead city.

No one can survive in that brilliance that is like a star disappearing, not even a Titled Douluo.

Ji Lin did not stay for long. After sighing "I am so strong", he turned into a red light and disappeared into the horizon.

……

Haiyue City.

The port is as busy as ever, with cargo being handled and ships entering and leaving.

A headcount is being taken on a large transport ship.

In the spacious cabin, many people were lying in all directions. Only those who were in a better mental state could barely sit cross-legged. But whether they were lying or sitting, everyone's eyes revealed excitement.

They are excited because of freedom!

Xiaoxiao, Nan Qiuqiu, Wang Donger, Ling Luochen and others were counting the number of people, while Wang Qiuer and Ye Guyi were guarding outside the cabin to prevent any accidents.

The rescue operation could be said to be very smooth, at least that was what they thought. The entire process was carried out and completed in full accordance with Ji Lin's plan.

A total of nearly 600 people were rescued. In order to confuse the pursuers, more than a dozen senior sect masters or academy teachers stayed behind to lead the pursuers away. It can be said that more than 95% of the hostages were rescued and rushed to Haiyue City to reunite.

That’s right, the meeting place set by Ji Lin was Haiyue City.

They were all very tired from flying at full speed and the abuse they had suffered in the water dungeon, but with enough food and water, it wouldn't be long before they could all recover their fighting strength.

Although Ji Lin has not returned yet, they are not worried about Ji Lin's safety. With Chi Yuan, the quasi-god, protecting him, and Ji Lin himself being very strong, the Sun Moon Empire would have to mobilize all the forces of the Holy Spirit Church and the five major soul mentor groups to keep Ji Lin, right? This is just a possibility.

"You are all from Zizaimen, right? Thank you." An old man in his sixties stood up and greeted Ling Luochen who was counting the number of people, and said with gratitude in his eyes.

Ling Luochen has a cold personality and is not good at speaking, so Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You're welcome. The Sun Moon Empire has sinister intentions this time. They have ignored the competition rules that have been passed down for many years on the continent and forcibly imprisoned so many people. How can we, the Zizai Sect, sit idly by and do nothing?"

A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes. "Sun Moon Empire, what a great Sun Moon Empire! Do they really think that they can dominate the entire continent with soul guides? It's too early to make such a wishful thinking. How can the foundation of our Douluo Continent be compared with that of the Sun Moon Empire?"

Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "As long as we are united, we will not lose to the Sun-Moon Empire even if they launch a war of aggression. You should take a rest first, we will set sail later."

"Yes, thank you. We at Tiandumen will always remember this incident. In the future, as long as Zizaimen needs us, we will definitely not refuse."

Xiaoxiao smiled, and even Ling Luochen smiled as well. In this way, their efforts at Zizai Sect were not in vain, and it was a good deal.

Wang Dong'er and Nan Qiuqiu came over from the other side and checked the number of people with Xiaoxiao and Ling Luochen. At this time, there were still twelve people short of arriving, but it was obvious that these twelve people might never arrive.

However, this was within their expectations, or in other words, only twelve people failed to escape, and the situation was much better than they had originally expected.

They didn't know that it was all thanks to Ji Lin's Heavenly Fire that led the pursuing Second Elder, the three Zhongli brothers, and the Evil King Soul Guide Group back to Risheng City in advance, otherwise more people would have been captured.

"It's almost time to set sail. Why hasn't Ji Lin come back yet?" Nan Qiuqiu was a little worried about Ji Lin's situation at this time.

"Hey, Qiuqiu, are you concerned about me?"

As soon as Nan Qiuqiu finished speaking, Ji Lin's teasing voice came from the air.

The next moment, Ji Lin and Chi Yuan, who was holding Feng Ling, landed on the deck. "Oh, who's worried about you! I'm just afraid that you'll delay our retreat."

Nan Qiuqiu crossed her arms across her chest and said with a look of disdain.

"Just let it be."

Ji Lin did not expose Nan Qiuqiu's sudden arrogance, because at this time a middle-aged man in yellow tights came up to them and looked excitedly at Feng Ling who was thrown on the deck by Chi Yuan.

"You are? Young Master? Are you really the Young Master? How did you become like this?"

This person was none other than the elder leading the Chongtian Sect. Although Feng Ling's gender had been changed, his figure and appearance had not changed much. The middle-aged man from Chongtian Sect recognized him at first sight. He originally thought that Feng Ling, who had been taken away from the water prison by the evil soul master, was in great danger and would surely be punished by the sect master when he returned to the sect. Unexpectedly, there was a ray of hope after a dark cloud. Feng Ling was actually still alive. Although he seemed to have been tortured badly, as long as he was alive, it was enough.

After sending away the grateful elders of Chongtianmen, Ji Lin looked at the hostages in the cabin. Those who were supposed to come had all come, and those who had not come could no longer come. They had done well enough and there was no need to wait any longer.

"sail!"

A few minutes later, the huge iron anchor was slowly pulled up, and with the joint efforts of the hired sailors, the huge cargo ship was slowly pushed out of the harbor and sailed towards the boundless ocean...

……

Sun and Moon Empire, Royal Palace.

"What? The hostage ran away?" Xu Tianran's usually calm voice was suddenly full of penetrating power, shaking the entire roof of the hall slightly.

Xu Tianran, dressed in a bright yellow robe, had a gloomy face as if water was about to drip out of it. He looked at the people kneeling on the ground below with cold eyes, and murderous intent was already in his eyes.

Kneeling below were the leader of the Evil King Soul Instructor Corps, as well as the leaders of the two Soul Instructor Corps stationed around Risheng City.

"Tell me, what happened? Explain the details clearly." Xu Tianran said calmly. In a short time, he had regained his composure, but everyone could feel that this was just the calm before the storm. If things could not be explained clearly, or if there were any mistakes in the process, someone would probably die immediately.

Ju Zi sat next to Xu Tianran, and her face was a little ugly. They were guarded by the Holy Spirit Church and two soul mentor groups, and the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group, the beast king level soul mentor group that was best at speed, was ready to support them at any time. They actually let the hundreds of hostages run away. This was simply a great shame! What's more, these hostages are very useful. They can make the three countries of the original Douluo Continent cautious. At the same time, these people staying in the Sun and Moon Empire is equivalent to greatly restricting the future high-end soul masters of the three countries of the original Douluo Continent. Now that everyone has run away, all plans have to change. There is a possibility of revenge from the three countries of the original Douluo Continent at any time on the border!

Several soul guide group leaders immediately began reporting. Each of them was responsible for a part, and the three of them together basically explained the entire process of the hostages' escape.

Xu Tianran's face was gloomy, and he looked at the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group with cold eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "You mean, the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group has lost one-third of its men. What are you doing as the leader?"

Captain Wang of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Corps was also very distressed. Those were his subordinates! He had brought them up, and now one third of them were gone. Captain Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, when I led my men to Risheng City, the hostages had already escaped. I led two hundred people to chase the hostages and left one hundred people to guard Risheng City. As a result, they all died on the plain outside Risheng City. The people who were in charge of commanding them were from the Holy Spirit Church."

The leaders of the other two soul mentor groups also chimed in, "We were cleaning up the mess and integrating our subordinates at the time, but the people of the Holy Spirit Church took a hundred members of the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group to chase an enemy, and then a huge explosion occurred on the plain. No one knows what happened. We only know that the people who chased them, including a Titled Douluo elder of the Holy Spirit Church, died in the explosion.

"Come here, invite the national master to discuss matters." After listening to the words of the three group leaders, Xu Tianran gave the order coldly, and immediately a guard ran to convey the message.

Xu Tianran narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a thoughtful look in his eyes. The most critical part of guarding the hostages was done by the Holy Spirit Church, and they also used drugs that could disperse the soul power of the soul masters, but in the end, the people escaped. What is the Holy Spirit Church doing? Two evil soul masters at the Title Douluo level can't even hold the place, and can't even buy time for the reinforcements?
Moreover, in the end, in order to chase after a person who came to rescue him, he actually sacrificed a Titled Douluo and one-third of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group. This is too weird.

"Have you found out the identity of that person? He's the one who was chased last." Xu Tianran asked coldly.

The head of the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Group, Wang Yiheng, said respectfully: "We have already found out that the person should be from the Freedom Sect. Not long ago, he led the team to participate in the Continental Youth High-level Soul Master Elite Competition."

Hearing these words, Orange, who had been expressionless, had a slight change in expression, but it quickly disappeared and no one noticed her momentary abnormality.

"Because he participated in the competition, a soul master recognized him at that time. His name is Ji Lin. He is the leader of Zizai Sect and the captain of the Zizai Sect team. However, his cultivation is only Soul Sage. I don't know how he escaped the pursuit of Titled Douluo and hundreds of soul masters under my command? And how did he completely wipe out the pursuers of a Titled Douluo, a Soul Douluo, and one-third of the Evil Lord Soul Master Corps on the plain? This is too strange!"
