Chapter 16 Heading to Sunset Forest
Di Hong wanted to lead the soul master in the dark away by himself, and Di Ming was about to refuse without a second thought, but before he could say anything, he met Di Hong's eyes.

Looking at that firm but unquestionable look, he knew that it seemed to be useless whether he objected or not. Even if he objected, Di Hong would not listen.

"Let the soul master who is accompanying you go with you."

Since I can't refuse, then it's ok for the soul master to accompany me. Di Hong is the future of the Di family and there can't be any mistakes. If something happens to him, I won't have to go back.

"No need." Di Hong shook his head and refused.

"I can handle those spirit masters, but you, second brother, also need protection. If I only rely on these ordinary soldiers, they will not be able to protect you."

"Just let the soul master stay. Don't you still trust me, your fourth brother?"

Di Hong was very confident. After he finished speaking, he stopped the carriage.

"Fourth brother, be careful, second brother is waiting for you up ahead." Di Ming said in a worried tone.

"No need, second brother can just go back directly."

Di Hong was not only doing this for those soul masters, he also wanted to take this opportunity to go to the Sunset Forest to look for the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. It was not that he intended to hide it from Di Ming, but that place was too dangerous. Putting aside those vicious ten thousand year old soul beasts, the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire alone were not something that ordinary people could enter.

Besides, he couldn't be sure when he would be able to find the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

So there is no need to let the second brother follow.

"Okay." Di Ming had already vaguely guessed that his fourth brother seemed to have other things in mind not only to lure away those soul masters who were following him.

But he was very confused. Except for this time, Di Hong had never left the Kingdom of Silves in the past six years. What could he be doing here?
Although he was confused, he did not ask because he knew Di Hong would not tell.

After leaving the delegation, Di Hong headed towards the Sunset Forest. The Sunset Forest was only fifty miles away from his current location. For him, a level fifty-three Soul King, fifty miles was no problem at all.

He rushed towards the Sunset Forest as fast as he could.

But soon, he found something wrong.

Because the three soul masters had no intention of attacking him, but kept following him.

This made him very puzzled. Logically speaking, now was the best opportunity and they should not give up, unless there was only one possibility, that is, these people's target was not him at all.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped.

After careful thinking, it seemed that the target was indeed not him, because when he found that someone was watching them, he had already left Tiandou City fifty miles away. In other words, these people did not follow from Tiandou City, but had always been here.

It wasn't an ambush on him.

Stroking his chin, Di Hong seemed a little confused.

If the target of those people in the dark was not him, then who could it be?

Are there any targets worth assassinating in this place? If it is just soul beasts, then they don’t need to do this. He also doesn’t think that the other party’s target is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Although Ning Fengzhi is in Tiandou City, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is not here.

Moreover, as the young master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, it is impossible for Ning Fengzhi to be without strong people protecting him.

Although the current Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has not yet been protected by the Sword Bone Double Douluo.

It seems that Chen Xin has not reached the Titled Douluo level yet. After all, his father is still alive.

Although Chen Jianjun himself is low-key, he has long been famous in the continent. After all, he has been looking for strong people to challenge for so many years. Some people praise him as the number one person under Tang Chen, the leader of the Haotian Sect, and Qian Daoliu, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and the number one offensive Titled Douluo in the continent.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, which has no Titled Douluo, is truly unworthy of its name in the eyes of other forces.

During the few days in Tiandou City, he had some understanding of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

The old sect leader is already very old, and is seriously ill, so he won't live long. It can be said that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is now in a situation of internal and external difficulties.

If it wasn't me, and it certainly wasn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, then who could it be? There were quite a few sects and families in Tiandou City. In addition to the four single-attribute clans affiliated with the Haotian Sect, there were also other large and small forces.

But he didn't notice anyone coming here.

After he stopped, the eyes that were secretly observing him disappeared.

After thinking for a long time, he really couldn't figure out who it was, so he simply gave up thinking about it. It was a good thing that no one was trying to assassinate him, and he could save himself from fighting with anyone.

To be honest, he was a little paranoid. Ever since his martial soul awakened, he always felt that someone was trying to harm him.

After some confirmation, he was sure that the soul masters in the dark were not targeting him, so he slowed down and headed towards the Sunset Forest at a leisurely pace.

When he approached the Sunset Forest, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

"Why is there a smell of blood here?"

This place is not even close to the Sunset Forest, so it is very likely that the soul beasts inside will come out.

Following the smell of blood, he found several corpses lying not far away, with several dead soul beasts around them.

These corpses were all wearing the same uniform and looked like they came from the same force.

Di Hong walked to a corpse and squatted down to check.

"Killed by a soul beast."

After checking the wounds on his body, he was sure that it was done by a soul beast. The corpses of the soul beasts around were all thousand-year-old soul beasts. Logically, there shouldn't be thousand-year-old soul beasts in this place.

After searching the bodies, we finally found something that could prove the identities of the dead people.

"Haotian Sect?"

Looking at the sign in his hand, Di Hong was a little surprised.

"Why are there disciples from the Haotian Sect here?"

The Haotian Sect is three hundred miles away from Tiandou City. How come there are people from the Haotian Sect here, and these people have been attacked by soul beasts.

The Haotian Sect has not yet been secluded from the world, so it is normal for people to walk outside. However, this is the outskirts of the Sunset Forest and we have not yet entered the interior of the forest. How could a soul beast attack people?

With curiosity, he walked into the forest again.

Not long after he walked, he saw two more corpses, also from the Haotian Sect, but this time there were no soul beast corpses.

From time to time along the way, you can see traces of battles, and even residual soul power. There are broken trees everywhere due to fighting.

"Wheel tracks?"

He saw several tire tracks on the ground, but they were already quite faint, which meant that the battle here had been going on for quite a long time, at least an hour.

"It seems that this is specifically aimed at the Haotian Sect."

The further into the forest one went, the more traces of battle were left behind, and there were also some corpses that one saw, including those of Haotian Sect disciples and some of soul beasts.

Starting from the outskirts of the forest, he had discovered more than a dozen bodies of Haotian Sect disciples, both male and female.

"Who is so bold that he is not afraid that Tang Chen, a level 99 peerless Douluo, will come to him to reason with him?"

Di Hong suddenly became interested. Someone actually dared to offend the world's number one sect. He could take his time looking for the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, but he had to go and take a look at this matter.
