Chapter 114, Article 113: The Person Being Targeted
He took out the fine wine used to summon Elder Xuan from his storage ring and neatly arranged it on the ground.
Master Xuan casually picked up one of the jars, patted off the seal, tilted his head back, and gulped it down in one go.
Two seconds later, Elder Xuan threw the empty wine jars back to Ye Nanxiao, flicked his finger to open the seals of all the wine jars, took the wine gourd from his waist, and with a flick of his finger, all the wine in the jars floated up and went into the wine gourd.
Ye Nanxiao looked at Elder Xuan's wine gourd with some envy, never expecting that the wine gourd was actually a soul tool.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's expression, Elder Xuan quickly put the wine gourd back to his waist. He didn't want to end up like Qian Duoduo, having many soul tools "borrowed" by Ye Nanxiao under the guise of soul tool research.
"You little brat, you're trying to steal my wine gourd? Want extra training?" Elder Xuan glared at Ye Nanxiao and said irritably.
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao quickly turned and fled, rushing up the stairs. Just as he reached the top of the stairs, he saw Ma Xiaotao already waiting there.
"Is it resolved?" Ma Xiaotao asked, raising an eyebrow.
Presumably, Ma Xiaotao was here the whole time, just in case those two from the Body Sect suddenly made a move.
"Elder Xuan is here, it's resolved." Ye Nanxiao nodded.
"Those two, from the Body Sect?" Ma Xiaotao asked, her expression somewhat grim.
Ye Nanxiao nodded. At this moment, Huo Yuhao, who had just walked up behind Ye Nanxiao, asked, "What exactly is the Body Sect?"
Ye Nanxiao shrugged and said, "This sect is full of eccentric people."
Xu Sanshi hurriedly brought Beibei and ran into Ye Nanxiao and the others at the stairwell, where he overheard Ye Nanxiao talking about the Body Sect.
For a moment, Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei's expressions turned serious.
Ma Xiaotao shook her head and said, "Xiaoxiaozi is right. The people of the Body Sect are all strange. They do whatever they like, but they are extremely domineering. If it weren't for the fact that they don't violate human reason and morality, they could be compared to evil soul masters."
"The Body Sect studies the body's martial spirit and has developed a cultivation system. They have many high-end combatants. In addition, the sect's location is very mysterious, which makes many of the Body Sect's enemies helpless. People from the Body Sect on the underground assassination list are quite valuable, which also makes the Body Sect usually act in groups of several people," Ye Nanxiao said.
"Were those two people targeting me?" Huo Yuhao asked, his expression somewhat grim.
Ye Nanxiao rubbed Huo Yuhao's head and said, "What are you afraid of? This is Xingluo territory. The high-end combat power of the Body Sect cannot enter. The Body Sect is not welcome. In addition, there is Elder Xuan here. As long as you don't run around, nothing will happen."
"Don't you feel your back hurting?" Ma Xiaotao glanced at Ye Nanxiao.
Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei exchanged a glance, each making their own plans.
They each returned to their own rooms, with Ye Nanxiao escorting the worried Huo Yuhao back to his room.
Turning his head, Ye Nanxiao looked at Wang Dong with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Apart from myself and Nan Nan, everyone else has their own room, or a large room with two separate rooms.
"Our martial souls have a high compatibility, so why can't we cultivate?" Wang Dong puffed out his chest and said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Sometimes you really act like a little woman." Ye Nanxiao glanced at Wang Dong's flat chest.
"Ye Fox! Do you have the right to talk to me like that?!" Wang Dong suddenly flew into a rage.
Ignoring the furious Wang Dong, Ye Nanxiao tossed a small white cube to Huo Yuhao, saying, "Take this with you. If anything urgent happens, just press this button and I'll get there as soon as possible."
Huo Yuhao took the cube. Its pure white metal surface had no extra decorations. There was a small circle on one side that could be pressed. Huo Yuhao put it into his storage soul tool, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart.
"Do I have one?" Wang Dong asked, extending his hand.
"You want one too?" Ye Nanxiao took out another identical white cube from his ring and tossed it to Wang Dong.
Wang Dong examined it for a while but didn't find anything special.
"These two unlucky kids." Ye Nanxiao left Huo Yuhao's room, not wanting to disturb the young couple.
As Ye Nanxiao approached the room, he saw Jiang Nannan waiting at the door.
"Ah Xiao, you fought with those two people, are you hurt?" Jiang Nannan had been waiting for Ye Nanxiao outside Huo Yuhao's room. When she saw Ye Nanxiao come out, she immediately went up to him, took his arm, and looked at him with concern.
Seeing Jiang Nannan's worried expression, Ye Nanxiao reached out and pinched her nose, laughing, "It's nothing, it's nothing. How about you give me a full body checkup?"
"You're so cheeky." Jiang Nannan turned her head away and ignored Ye Nanxiao, but her pretty face was flushed, making her look quite adorable.
Ye Nanxiao couldn't resist teasing her, and whispered in Jiang Nannan's ear, "It's not like I haven't seen it before."
After being driven away by Elder Xuan's imposing presence, Lang Ya and Yu Tao found a place to stay and settled down.
Yu Tao circulated his soul power to recover from the damage to his martial soul, while Lang Ya pondered countermeasures. Huo Yuhao, who also possessed a physical martial soul and rare mental attribute attack ability, had become Lang Ya's target.
"If we can bring Huo Yuhao back to the sect, the resources allocated to me will more than double. But with Taotie Douluo here, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do even after the competition ends. It seems I can only report this to the sect leader. At least then I'll get a reward." Lang Ya picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Yu Tao, standing beside him, snapped out of his cultivation state. Looking at the guidance on his martial soul and feeling the remaining teeth in his mouth, he growled in a low voice, "Damn Taotie, what do we do now? Our attack just now has probably attracted the attention of Xingluo. There are currently four Title Douluo in Xingluo City, and those old fogies might be here too."
Langya comforted Yutao, saying, "No, according to the intelligence I obtained from a guard I infiltrated, Xingluo has suddenly started some kind of research project. I don't know the specifics, but for now, we should be safe."
Just as Langya and Yutao were talking, two figures dressed in black robes quietly appeared on the ground.
Two visible streams of air circled around Lang Ya and Yu Tao, but their expressions remained unchanged as they continued their discussion.
"You've got it sorted out?" one of the men in black robes asked.
"It's done. I've blocked all of their senses," said the other man in black robes, as streams of energy flowed from his hands, enveloping Lang Ya and Yu Tao.
"Listen to these two to see if they have any information about Ye Nanxiao, otherwise the Vice Sect Leader's 'Bewitching Fire' will have been wasted." The man in black robes moved a few times, and the light illuminated the black smiling mask on his face.
"Alright." The black-robed man who unleashed the airflow had a strange blue flame in his eyes. Lang Ya and Yu Tao turned to look at the blue flame at the same time, then ignored it and turned back.
"How do you feel about that white-haired boy?" The masked man with the black smiley face asked in a voice that was exactly the same as Yu Tao's.
"Your mental strength is very strong, but what means do you have to devour my mental strength so that I can't detect it?" Lang Ya wasn't surprised at all, assuming that Yu Tao was the one who asked.
The moment Lang Ya finished speaking, the two men in black robes shook their heads and quietly disappeared.
Lang Ya, with his strong mental power, was completely unaware of all of this.

The Star Luo Empire has entered a state of high alert, deploying an additional 10,000 elite troops to Star Luo Square, and Xu Jiawei's guard team has doubled in size.
The final match was between Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy and Shrek Academy, both representing the strongest forces on the continent today.
The square was packed with spectators, some of whom had set up loudspeakers to relay the news of the game.
"There are so many people," Wang Dong complained.
Ling Luochen also held Ma Xiaotao's hand and walked behind her. She didn't like places with too many people.
Ye Nanxiao held Jiang Nannan's hand and walked on her side, saying, "Relax, the more people the better, that way we can make money."
"What did you do now?" Beibei asked, puzzled.
"I went to the underground casino and bet on us to win. Most people didn't think we would win, so they bet on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. The odds were ridiculously high," Ye Nanxiao said in a low voice.
"Why didn't you share this good thing with your brothers?" Xu Sanshi sidled up to Bei Bei, looking at her with a complaining expression.
"What are the odds? How much did you bet?" Jiang Nannan suddenly asked.
"They've got a 1.5 to 1 advantage, so shouldn't we bet 20,000 or 30,000?" Ye Nanxiao said truthfully.
"Where did you get the money?" Jiang Nannan asked with a smile.
"Well, well..." Ye Nanxiao's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He looked for help from Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, but the two of them kept their distance from him.
"You two are so disloyal!" Ye Nanxiao complained, then turned around and put on a fawning smile.
Shrek's roster was incomplete, and various rumors were flying around. Even Ye Nanxiao's repeated performances of taking on multiple opponents at once failed to turn the odds around.
The sky was overcast, with a few raindrops falling from time to time.
Ling Luochen reached out and caught a raindrop. A smile appeared on his usually cool face. The weather was favorable for him today.
Wang Yan made some adjustments to the tactics this morning in response to the weather.
Having reached the finals, everyone has become more accepting of the outcome.
However, the atmosphere on the Sun Moon Empire's side was serious. Even the very proud Xiao Hongchen had a tense face and kept glancing at the Shrek Academy members. Compared to Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen seemed much calmer, with her eyes fixed on Ye Nanxiao.
The fourteen-year-old girl, just beginning to experience romantic feelings, looked at Ye Nanxiao's profile and thought to herself, "What a handsome man! I really want to touch his face. Why did his fox ears disappear before? They were so soft and nice to touch. But he already has a girlfriend. Although she's not his official wife, a younger one would be fine too. Uncle Yin has more than one wife. It seems that Nanxiao is two years older than me."
However, Ye Nanxiao had no idea that after only exchanging a few greetings with Meng Hongchen, the innocent girl's image had been constantly on her mind.
Huo Yuhao glanced unintentionally at the city wall and saw that Xu Jiujiu, who was standing next to the Star Luo Emperor, was looking at him. Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw Ye Nanxiao, who looked lazy, yawning.
Looking back at it again, Huo Yuhao's originally calm state of mind was suddenly thrown into turmoil.
Seemingly sensing Huo Yuhao's change in mindset, Ye Nanxiao glanced at Huo Yuhao and followed his gaze to the city wall. He was dressed in golden armor, stood tall and straight, with handsome features and the double-colored eyes that were the symbol of the White Tiger family. He was the Duke of White Tiger.
Ye Nanxiao did not comfort Huo Yuhao; this was Huo Yuhao's own inner conflict.
A fierce fighting spirit ignited in Dai Yueheng's eyes, and he clenched his fists. He also saw Duke White Tiger.
With the two of them taking the lead, Shrek's fighting spirit gradually began to ignite. The temperature around Ma Xiaotao, who was walking at the front of the group, started to rise, forcing Ling Luochen to let go of Ma Xiaotao's hand.
After Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Clan delivered an exciting speech as usual, he announced that the referee would still be Tian Sha Douluo. However, when Tian Sha Douluo saw Xuan Lao at the back of the Shrek Academy team, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
Elder Xuan naturally saw Tian Sha Douluo, picked up his wine gourd, took a sip, and then went to wait in a corner of the Shrek Academy's waiting area.
The elder leading the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy also saw Elder Xuan, and his expression changed several times. He naturally understood that this Gluttonous Douluo had come to support Shrek Academy. Elder Ma had already returned to the Sun Moon Empire. If this old madman went crazy, Star Luo probably wouldn't show up.
The Tian Sha Douluo competition rules were explained once again before the two teams took the stage.
Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ye Nanxiao, Ling Luochen, Bei Bei, He Caitou, and Xu Sanshi shouted in unison, "Shrek will win!"
The team members from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy also stood up. Among them were Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. The captain was still Ma Rulong, and the team consisted of Mika, Xiao Xiafeng, Chen Fei, and Lin Xi.
Following Ye Nanxiao's advice, Wang Yan elevated Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's judgments to the level of Ma Rulong's. As a result, the team members from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy played today were exactly as Wang Yan had predicted.
Huo Yuhao sat expressionless next to Wang Yan, his fists clenched, while Wang Dong and Jiang Nannan appeared truly calm. Their opponent was skilled in soul-guided turret tactics and possessed an unknown number of shields.
As for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, as the last hidden force, there is no need to expose them in advance; they can wait for the next competition.
"Both sides are in position." Tian Sha Douluo raised his right hand.
Shrek's formation remained the same: Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ye Nanxiao stood in front, Bei Bei and Ling Luochen stood in the middle, and Xu Sanshi stood next to He Caitou.
In the formation of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Ma Rulong was at the very front, with the others forming a triangle behind him.
A flame seemed to rise in Ma Xiaotao's eyes as she fixed her gaze on Ma Rulong, making Ma Rulong, who was also a Soul Emperor, feel pressured.
"The match begins!" Tian Sha Douluo's right hand fell, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Xu Sanshi ran to the front of the line, with Ye Nanxiao and Dai Yueheng standing on either side behind him, while Ma Xiaotao retreated to the middle of the line.
Seeing Xu Sanshi's actions, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy quickly formed a straight line, with Lin Xi standing at the front, taking out a soul guidance shield to guard against Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement.
Immediately afterwards, countless orbs of light, formed from condensed soul power and released through soul tools, burst forth from the Sun and Moon Team members behind Lin Xi like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
Ye Nanxiao clasped his hands together, and two huge ice prisons blocked the soul guide rays shooting from both sides. Ling Luochen gathered ice staffs in his hands, and thick ice mist spread out, quickly obscuring the Shrek Academy members.
Ye Nanxiao's third soul ring flashed, and Little Ye No. 1 and Little Ye No. 2 quietly appeared. Little Ye No. 1 followed Ma Xiaotao, while Little Ye No. 2 stayed behind Ling Luochen. They raised their hands and remotely injected their ultimate ice element into Ling Luochen's body.
With Ye Nanxiao's help, Ling Luochen briefly reached the level of ultimate ice.
As Dai Yueheng rose into the sky, a white crescent moon appeared above him. Soon, the crescent moon transformed into countless white meteors, which rained down on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
