Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

In the special protection area of ​​the Soul Master Alliance headquarters, the ancient Horcrux quietly exuded mysterious soul power fluctuations. Although it was heavily protected, the power was like a magnet, attracting everyone's attention and bringing endless worries and curiosity.

Chu Tian, ​​Ye Li, Qin Feng, Zhang Meng, Xiao Hua and the leaders of the Xingmang tribe often sat in a conference room near the protection area to discuss matters concerning this Horcrux.

"This Horcrux is like a hot potato. We have to be on our guard all the time if we keep it here, but if we ignore it, it would feel like a treasure is wasted." Zhang Meng said with a frown as he played with the small object in his hand.

Ye Li rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't be so rash. If the power of this thing is not used properly, it will cause big trouble. We have to study it carefully."

Researchers in the alliance conduct various tests and analyses on the Horcrux every day. They found that this Horcrux seemed to have some connection with the origin of the martial arts world, and the ancient power contained in it was like opening a door to the original mystery of the martial arts world.

One day, a researcher came over excitedly to report to Chu Tian and others: "We have a new discovery! This Horcrux seems to require a specific soul power input to fully unlock its power, and the soul power attribute is very special, not the ones we usually see."

"What kind of soul power attribute is that?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

The researcher scratched his head: "We are not quite sure yet, but it feels like a high-level composite soul power that combines multiple attributes, and it requires a very pure soul power source to activate."

Everyone fell into deep thought. Such soul power attributes were too rare. In the entire martial soul world, finding such a soul power source was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Just when they were worrying about the Horcrux issue, news came again from the intelligence department of the Soul Master Alliance.

"Report! We have discovered that some mysterious people are secretly investigating our alliance, and they seem to be particularly interested in this ancient Horcrux." The intelligence officer said seriously.

"Do these mysterious people have any characteristics?" Chu Tian asked.

"They move very covertly, always wearing black cloaks, so their faces cannot be seen clearly. But the fluctuations of their soul power are very strange, and it feels like they are deliberately hidden by some force." The intelligence officer replied.

"Could it be that the dark forces have made a comeback?" Zhang Meng stood up vigilantly.

"Not really. Their behavior patterns are somewhat different from the previous dark forces. These mysterious people are more like an organized treasure hunting team, but we don't know their purpose and the forces behind them yet." Qin Feng analyzed.

In order to deal with this new threat, the Soul Master Alliance decided to strengthen its defenses. They added more soul monitoring points around the headquarters and arranged more patrol teams.

However, these mysterious people do not seem to be afraid of being discovered, but are becoming more and more bold.

Once, in a small town near the Alliance headquarters, a patrol spotted several suspicious men in black.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" asked the patrol leader.

The men in black did not answer, but suddenly launched an attack. Their attack method was very strange. Instead of using soul power directly, they released some black smoke. The smoke seemed to contain some kind of substance that confused soul power, and the patrol team members felt dizzy instantly.

"Oh no, there's something wrong with the smoke!" the captain shouted.

But it was too late. Several team members lost consciousness after being enveloped by the smoke.

Just as the man in black was about to take further action, a strong light suddenly flashed by. It turned out that Ye Li had arrived in time with several soul masters.

Ye Li let the Frost Fox release cold air to blow away the black smoke. Then she and other soul masters attacked the man in black.

The men in black quickly retreated when they saw the situation was not good. They were so fast that they disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"These people are not simple. We must report this situation to the headquarters immediately." Ye Li said with a frown.

After returning to the headquarters, everyone paid more attention to the situation. They realized that these mysterious people must have come prepared, and their target was the ancient Horcrux.

"We can't always be in a passive defensive state. We have to find a way to take the initiative and find the lair of these mysterious people." Chu Tian said.

Therefore, they selected some elite spirit masters and formed a special action team. The special action team was led by Chu Tian, ​​and its members included Zhang Meng, Qin Feng, Xiao Hua and several masters of the Xingmang Clan.

The special operations team began to search for the mysterious man in the Wuhun world. Based on the location where the mysterious man was found before and some clues, they gradually narrowed the search scope.

Finally, they found some clues in a remote valley. The valley was filled with a faint black smell, which was somewhat similar to the black smoke released by the mysterious man before.

"There must be something wrong here, everyone be careful." Chu Tian reminded.

They walked into the valley carefully. The valley was very quiet, so quiet that it was a little scary. Suddenly, a slight soul power fluctuation came from the depths of the valley.

"Over there!" Zhang Meng said, pointing deep into the valley.

They walked towards the direction of the soul power fluctuations. Deep in the valley, they found a base hidden in a cave. There were many defensive formations around the cave, and there were also some soul beasts guarding it.

"It seems that this is the mysterious man's lair." Qin Feng said.

They began to study how to break through these defensive formations. Xiaohua discovered that these formations seemed to be set up according to the surrounding terrain and the flow of soul power. As long as the key nodes of the formation were found, it could be broken.

After careful observation and analysis, they found several key nodes of the formation.

"If we attack these nodes together, we should be able to break this formation." Chu Tian said.

Following Chu Tian's instructions, everyone gathered their soul power together and launched attacks towards the key nodes of the formation.

Under their combined attack, the defensive formation was broken.

They rushed into the cave, where many people in black were busy walking around. Seeing Chu Tian and others rushing in, the people in black immediately took up fighting postures.

"You are finally here. We were the first to discover this ancient Horcrux. Don't even think about taking it away." said a leader of the men in black.

"This soul weapon is related to the safety of the martial soul world. We will not let it fall into the hands of unknown forces." Chu Tian said seriously.

The battle broke out instantly. Although there were many men in black, Chu Tian and his men were all experienced masters.

Zhang Meng ordered the Giant Rock Bear to charge towards the group of people in black. The Giant Rock Bear's enormous power allowed it to rampage through the crowd, and every attack could make the people in black fall down.

Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword and moved freely among the black-clad people. His sword moves were sharp, and each of his swords could hit the black-clad people's vital points.

Xiaohua and Xiaobai were not idle either. Xiaohua used her soul power to command Xiaobai, and Xiaobai used her speed advantage to run behind the black-clothed crowd, releasing a beam of light from time to time to interfere with the black-clothed people's attacks.

The soul masters of the Xingmang tribe released their starlight soul power one after another, and their soul power turned into starlight shields to protect themselves and other team members. At the same time, they also shot starlight chains at the men in black, trapping some of them.

Chu Tian flew into the air and fired his soul blade at the men in black. His soul blade flickered in the cave and accurately hit some of the men in black.

Ye Li and the Frost Fox released cold air, freezing a large group of black-clothed men. Then she controlled the ice spikes and shot them at the black-clothed men who were still struggling. The ice spikes penetrated their bodies and completely destroyed them.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the men in black were beaten back step by step.

However, just when they were about to win, the leader of the men in black suddenly took out a strange object. This object looked like a miniature Horcrux, with strange runes engraved on it.

"You forced me to do this. Since I can't get that ancient Horcrux, I will destroy it." The leader of the men in black said frantically.

He threw the strange object to the ground, and it released a powerful energy wave, which rushed towards the ancient Horcrux, as if trying to destroy it.

"Not good!" Chu Tian shouted.

He quickly flew in front of the ancient Horcrux and used his soul power to create a shield to try to resist the energy fluctuations. Other team members also injected their soul power into the shield to strengthen the shield.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the energy fluctuations were finally resisted.

The leader of the men in black saw that his plan had failed and wanted to escape, but he had been surrounded by Chu Tian and others and had no way to escape.

"You can't run away. Now tell us, who are you? Why do you want to snatch this ancient Horcrux?" Chu Tian asked.

The leader of the men in black sighed helplessly: "We are from the Treasure Hunters Alliance, and we have been looking for various powerful Horcruxes. The power of this ancient Horcrux is very strong. We want to get it and sell it for a good price."

"You ignore the safety of the Wuhun World for the sake of money?" Zhang Meng said angrily.

"We just want to make some money, we don't think too much." The leader of the men in black lowered his head.

Chu Tian and others realized that although these people were not dark forces, their greed might also bring danger to the Wuhun World.

"You can't do this anymore. This Horcrux must be kept by our Soul Master Alliance. Its power is not used to make money." Chu Tian said.

The leader of the men in black nodded: "I understand. We will not try to get this Horcrux again."

Chu Tian and others released the men in black, but warned them that if they dared to have any bad intentions again, they would not let them go so easily.

After this incident, the Soul Master Alliance paid more attention to the protection of ancient Horcruxes. They added several more protective measures in the protection area and arranged more masters to take turns guarding.

At the same time, they did not stop their research on ancient Horcruxes. Based on the previous work, the researchers continued to explore how to use special soul power sources to unlock the power of Horcruxes.

In the process, they discovered some new clues about the early history of the Wuhun World, which seemed to suggest that in a corner of the Wuhun World, there existed a mysterious source of power that could purify and enhance any soul attribute.

"If we can find this source of power, perhaps we can solve the problem of ancient soul weapons and enhance the strength of soul masters in the entire martial soul world." Qin Feng said.

Thus, a new journey of exploration begins in the spirit world. Chu Tian and others lead the elites of the spirit master alliance on a journey to find the source of mysterious power. They don't know what kind of dangers and challenges are waiting for them ahead, but they are full of confidence because they have experienced countless tests and have always been able to overcome danger.
