Chapter 169: Body Sect

On the way back to the hotel, several people discussed together how to deal with Ma Rulong.

But the conclusion they reached was that only Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong's Soul Fusion Technique could be used against him.

First wear down his invincible shield, then use the Soul Fusion Technique to eliminate him in one strike.

The faces of those who had reached the conclusion showed no improvement at all; instead, they grew even more solemn.

It's easy to say but hard to do; their countermeasure would surely be thought of by the Sun Moon side as well, and they would definitely let Shilake do it, so how could Shilake and the others achieve their goal? Just as they were worrying, they had already arrived at the Star Emperor Hotel, were about to go upstairs, but unexpectedly were stopped.

"Huh?"

Wang Yan, who was lost in thought and walking at the front, had his path blocked by someone, causing him to stare blankly for a moment before looking up at the person.

They were two men, both ordinary in appearance, but their physiques were quite peculiar.

One had an exceptionally thick right arm, while the other was small and thin with an extremely large head, like a big-headed doll.

Wang Yan's heart gave a slight jolt, and he said in a low voice, "Please make way, both of you."

The man with the thick arm said:

"You may go, but this little guy has to stay; we want to talk with him."

His voice was deep and muffled; although he was clearly trying to suppress it, he still exuded a terrifying, intimidating aura, and the direction his finger pointed was exactly at Huo Yutong.

Huo Yutong also couldn't help but be stunned.

"I don't know you."

The other big-headed man looked at her, his gaze extremely gentle.

"Don't we know each other now?"

His voice was quite unique, as if it contained a wonderful rhythm; under its influence, the gazes of Wang Yan and the others all became somewhat dazed.

Huo Yutong, however, was not deceived; her heart tightened, golden light swirled in her pupils, and her Spirit Eyes martial soul was released, blocking the opponent's spiritual fluctuations.

"Oh?" The big-headed man couldn't help but show surprise; he smiled and said, "We mean no harm, we just want to have a chat with you. If you don't want the people around you to get hurt, come with us."

After saying that, he led the man with the thick right arm toward a resting area on one side of the lobby, where a few sofas were provided for hotel guests to take a break.

Only then did Wang Yan and the others snap back to reality, their expressions instantly turning tense.

That big-headed man could control several of them without even using a martial soul, indicating that his cultivation far surpassed theirs.

As for Wang Yan, he's merely a five-ring Soul King, while Dai Yaoheng is a six-ring Soul Emperor; the fact that he could so easily control him suggests that this big-headed man's cultivation has very likely reached the level of a Soul Douluo.

After a brief shock, Wang Yan quickly calmed down and said to Huo Yutong, "Let's go hear what he has to say; I'll accompany you as your teacher. Wulin, Yaoheng, you two go back first."

Tang Wulin firmly shook his head.

"No, Teacher Wang, I want to go with you as well."

Those two men gave him a bad feeling; the scene of Huo Yutong being captured by the Emissary of Death was still fresh in his mind, and Tang Wulin did not want her to leave his sight at such a time.

After Wang Yan and Tang Wulin locked eyes for a moment, he realized the boy wouldn't obey, and could only sigh helplessly. "Alright, then you come along too, but don't speak randomly; leave everything to the teacher. Yaoheng, do you understand what I mean?"

Dai Yaoheng nodded, turned, and went upstairs.

Together they arrived at the area designated by the big-headed man; strangely, this place was clearly a public area on the first floor, yet aside from them, no one else came here, and passersby seemed unable to see this area at all.

The three sat opposite the big-headed man, and Huo Yutong asked, "What do you want with us? We've never met before, have we?"

The big-headed man gave a slight smile and spoke calmly: "Of course we haven't met, but we have been observing you for a while. If I'm not mistaken, your martial soul should be the eyes, with abilities including spiritual detection, illusion, spiritual impact, and spiritual interference. Among them, your spiritual impact ability is somewhat similar to the Purple Extreme Magic Eye passed down in the Tang Sect, and your illusion disguise ability comes from a kind of ice silkworm in the north, which is skilled at using this ability to deceive opponents. Am I right?"

"..."

Huo Yutong didn't speak, but her tense expression already gave the answer.

The big-headed man had seen through most of her Spirit Eyes abilities; she was still encountering this type of enemy for the first time.

Seeing her eyes filled with hostility, the big-headed man gave a wry smile and waved his hand.

"Don't be so nervous; we mean no harm. Let's introduce ourselves first—I'm Lang Ya, and this is my brother Yu Tao. We come from the Body Sect; I believe you've heard of us."

As soon as the three words "Body Sect" were spoken, not only was Huo Yutong stunned, but Wang Yan and Tang Wulin beside her also froze in expression.

In the Soul Master World, although the Body Sect rarely appears, they are undoubtedly a famous name.

Among the several oddities of the Soul Master World, there is no doubt that Evil Soul Masters rank first, and the only group that can match them in both eccentricity and strength is likely the Body Sect.

Yet for the vast majority of Soul Masters, the Body Sect's terror surpasses that of Evil Soul Masters—not because Body Martial Soul holders are more fearsome than Evil Soul Masters, but due to the crackdowns by various nations, Evil Soul Masters cannot form a proper organization, whereas the Body Sect often operates as a group.

Perhaps if Evil Soul Masters were to form an organization they would be even more terrifying than the Body Sect, but this is almost impossible to achieve, because no normal country would allow such an anti-human organization to take shape under its nose.

Therefore, when discussing terrorist organizations in the Soul Master World, the Body Sect is undoubtedly currently in first place.

Tang Wulin and Wang Yan never expected the Body Sect to appear at this moment, and as soon as it did, it directly targeted Huo Yutong, laying bare her background.

As for the reason they did this, Wang Yan had some guesses, but after figuring it out, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Lang Ya gave Huo Yutong a slight smile.

"I'll get straight to the point: our purpose in seeking you is simple—to guide you back to the sect."

"Guide back?" Huo Yutong repeated doubtfully, saying, "But I don't remember ever joining the Body Sect."

If she had joined the Body Sect earlier, she wouldn't now be at Shilake Academy.

Lang Ya chuckled.

"You heard me right—it's a return. The Body Sect is the home of all Soul Masters who possess a Body Martial Soul; since your martial soul is the eyes, you are a member of the Body Sect, and having found you, we naturally want to bring you home."

He spoke these words with utter naturalness, clearly coming from the heart.

By the way, the Body Sect was still very strong ten thousand years ago; as the second-largest Soul Master organization in name, they lacked no personnel and had no interest in Tang Wulin's One-Eyed Beast Martial Soul (at that time, the Body referred to the Body Martial Soul itself, not the tempered body).

The most obvious point is that everything Lang Ya spoke about concerned Huo Yutong's Spirit Eyes martial soul, yet he didn't mention the far stronger Ice Jade Scorpion at all; clearly its abilities far surpass those of the Spirit Eyes, and my explanation is that they simply don't care.
