Chapter Eighty-One: The Trap

  The power of the Soul Temple's intelligence network lies not only in its terrifying strength, but also in the Witness Protection Program proposed by the late Elder Soul Xing Meng, which was modeled after the American FBI's program and is now known as the Soul Temple Protection Plan.

  Anyone who provides information about top-grade martial skills, rare items, or messages that the Soul Temple wants will be rewarded handsomely if the Soul Temple successfully sends someone to obtain them. They can also join the Soul Temple and receive its protection. If it's a mortal with extremely low martial arts cultivation, they'll receive an enormous reward and be relocated to a place where no one knows them to live a good life. If the information is important enough, they might even be allowed to enter the Soul Realm to reside.

  The world has never lacked greedy traitors like Han Feng, but they are also afraid of being retaliated against for selling out information. So, the Soul Temple's move this time is quite popular among the traitors from various places. If Han Feng wasn't confident in his own abilities and had done a perfect job, he might have joined the Soul Temple or left under the pressure of the Wind Master. However, Yao Lao has escaped, leaving the Soul Temple with nothing to gain, and Han Feng can only face his own mess now.

  In order to find that group of mysterious people, the Soul Temple began to search for clues about the three dead men and Rong Yiren in addition to their "main job", according to Xiao Xingmen's memory.

  However, the previously infallible intelligence network seemed to be ineffective in front of this group of mysterious people. Not only was there no mole to inform on them, but their identities could not be investigated either. As the first assassin, Ling Mingduo also found it a bit difficult to make a move. In the vast sea of people, where should he look for Zong Huihui?

  On the other hand, Xiao Yan suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Yan Cheng. From Xiao Yu and others, he learned about Yan Cheng's strength. Under his terrifying strength, he temporarily gave up on revenge. Of course, in order to gain the power to defeat Yan Cheng, he had already set his sights on Bai Shan and his senior fellow disciple, Han Feng.

  To avenge the death of Medicine Old, for the Sea Emperor's Flame on his Senior Brother's body, within a few days, Xiao Yan quickly gathered the Academy team with Su Qian to go and have a fierce battle with Han Feng's Black Alliance!

  However, this has nothing to do with Xiao Xing Meng for the time being. He has nominally graduated from Canaan Academy and left the academy with Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei returned to Heitan City to take charge of the overall situation, relying on her strength in Heitan City, no one can match her. As for dealing with the Xiao family's affairs, Xiao Xing Meng naturally had no interest at all, so he wandered off with his three apprentices, a total of four people.

  Head, to ask why is four-person action? Because Xiao Xing Meng thinks that four people are the team that creates miracles, such as countless RPG games, playing mahjong, digging up the land...

  The four of them were heading to the volcanic region in the northern part of the mainland, because Soul Temple had just received a piece of intelligence - at the volcano, there was a mysterious dark red water that appeared from the flowing lava, and someone claimed to have encountered it by chance while passing through the air, unfortunately, the water quickly disappeared.

  The Soul Temple had just started searching for the mysterious person and Rong Yiren, and suddenly a rare object that hadn't appeared in a thousand years showed up? Are you kidding me! Xue Xing Meng was 100% sure at the time that this must be a trap. It should be the Soul Temple's large-scale search that allowed the other party to discover their connection with the Soul Temple, so now they want to break through and find themselves from the Soul Temple.

  Should he send someone else there? Or ignore the other party's trap? After some thought, Xiao Xing Meng decided to take a step forward!

  The other party is indeed hard to find, since they want to start searching for and killing me from the Soul Temple, why can't I turn around and kill them instead? As long as this "sheep" appears, the other party should be eager to appear. If I don't enter hell, who will? It's better to thoroughly act as bait once, personally go trigger a trap, and then completely expose the true identity of the "hunter"!

  ………………

  The Dou Qi mainland was a place full of miracles, with countless places that were rarely visited by humans.

  Beidao Volcanic Zone - Shiyu Volcanic Zone, the volcanoes on that side are all in an active state. Not only can you see volcanic eruptions from time to time, but also rolling lava constantly bursts out of the ground, making it one of the hottest places on the Douqi Continent. However, such a high-temperature and harsh environment is very suitable for those who cultivate fire attributes. As a result, some cultivators occasionally come here. But Xiaoxing Meng had just arrived when he sensed something was amiss.

  The volcanic belt, which was originally rarely visited by humans, is now even more desolate. Except for the occasional earth-shaking sounds of volcanic eruptions, there are no signs of human life anywhere. What's even stranger is that the fire elements in this area have become much scarcer.

  "Wow, the heat here is truly abnormal, it's like being surrounded by lava." Ye Kan said, wiping his sweaty forehead with a towel, his muscular arms exposed.

  "Although it's a volcanic zone, this heat is indeed not quite normal. Perhaps this place is indeed not ordinary, maybe there really is something. Is everything just the teacher being overcautious?" Ah Zi's face was slightly red, but the temperature here seemed to be no problem for her.

  "Some people used to doubt my reasoning, and then they died." In Xiao Xing Meng's senses, he had already detected several people with hostile intentions lurking around.

  As soon as the voice fell, figures emerged and blocked their way. Several people stood out from the crowd and glared at the four with anger in their eyes.

  Xiao Xing Meng laughed loudly and said: "Everyone has been waiting for us in this godforsaken place for so long, do you have any instructions?"

  One of them pointed and shouted: "Bastard! Come here and meet your death!"

  Xiao Xing Meng pretended to say: "Huh? I have no grudge against you, why are you talking like this?"

  "Hum, you scoundrel, pretending to be a god and hiding in the Xiao family, even killing our three brothers. No matter what your purpose is, I will avenge them today! According to the master's orders, we were supposed to find and kill you, now that you're out, it's perfect!" Another person cursed emotionally, almost pointing their finger at Xiao Xing Meng's nose.

  Xiao Xing Meng smiled and said, "As long as the identity is correct, it's fine."
