Chapter Eight: Visitors from the Martial Soul Hall!

Page 1/3

Surrounding a slowly moving carriage were countless elite soldiers clad in armor. At the forefront, one soldier suddenly stepped closer to the carriage, frowning in confusion. "Your Highness Xue Qinghe, we have now arrived at the center of Tiandou City. Pardon my boldness, but may I ask where you intend to go?"

Indeed, the one seated inside the carriage was none other than Xue Qinghe, son of the Snow Night Emperor of Tiandou City and the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire.

Xue Qinghe shook his head silently and replied calmly, "Nothing much, just a bit tired and wanted to take a stroll around Tiandou City."

Though only nine years old, he had already mastered the ability to maintain composure regardless of the situation.

The soldier was momentarily stunned, then realized his impropriety and apologized, "Yes, Your Highness Xue Qinghe."

Damn it, how could he be so presumptuous to question the prince!

Having said this, he returned to the main forces, vigilantly observing the surroundings...

Once the soldier left, Xue Qinghe bit his thin lips in puzzlement.

The intensely evil aura that had just appeared in Tiandou City caused his Martial Soul to resonate and tremble continuously.

It did not seem to be hostility, but rather a kind of excitement.

His Martial Soul had never exhibited such an anomaly, and even Qian Daoliu had never mentioned such a phenomenon.

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath and whispered in confusion, "What on earth is happening? Why does this evil aura not provoke disgust within me?"

...

Su Yuntao glanced at Xu Sheng, who was lost in thought beside him, and waved his hand in front of his face a few times. "Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng?"

Xu Sheng's lips curved into a faint smile as he absentmindedly said, "I'm fine, but it seems I can no longer stay in Tiandou City."

If he remained here any longer, a lingering sense of foreboding would not leave his heart.

As for the image of Qian Renxue that had surfaced in his mind, it revealed a deep connection between his Nine Heart Blood Tang Martial Soul and her Six-Winged Angel.

Perhaps this was the fated wife that came with transmigration, a matter of life and death?

(Old Xu, Old Xu, do you want a wife or not? Just say the word...)

He shook his head, dismissing these thoughts...

Su Yuntao's expression darkened with puzzlement. "Can't stay? Are you worried about not having enough Gold Soul Coins? Actually, I can go ahead and overdraft next month's salary!"

Xu Sheng waved his hand dismissively. "It's not about that, Xiao Taozi. Let's go."

Su Yuntao noticed there was no trace of disappointment on Xu Sheng's face, which meant he truly did not want to stay in Tiandou City.

"Mm!"

...

However, one piece of good news exceeded both Xu Sheng and Su Yuntao's expectations: a message from the Pope's Palace arrived, approving Xu Sheng's entry into Soul City.

Upon receiving this message, the Soul Palace quickly locked onto their location...

Within a few hours, dozens of powerful figures wearing the Soul Palace uniform appeared before them...

Su Yuntao's eyes widened, trembling as he stared at these formidable Soul Palace experts. Each radiated overwhelming strength, especially the elder in the center whose aura was hidden yet more imposing than the rest!

He had never expected Xu Sheng to be held in such high esteem that the Soul Palace would personally send escorts!

If Su Yuntao knew that among these people was a Douluo-level warrior and dozens of Soul Masters, he might have fainted from fright...

The elder in the middle slowly approached Xu Sheng, his cloudy eyes piercing like an eagle’s, scrutinizing him intently. Then, with a somewhat dark tone, he said, "You must be Xu Sheng. We have been ordered by His Holiness the Pope to escort you safely to Soul City."

Initially, the elder had some expectations upon hearing the news, but seeing such a young child before him, his trust had long since dissipated.

His Holiness had issued clear orders: if the child's claim of possessing a ninety-level innate soul power was a lie, then test his talent. If found lacking, kill him on the spot!

The dignity of the Soul Palace must never be violated!

Xu Sheng smiled calmly. "Thank you, Lord Douluo. When do we depart?"

Su Yuntao looked dumbfounded at the elder, unsure if Xu Sheng was joking!

Just this simple sentence caused a flash of surprise to cross the elder's eyes, and his heart was shaken. "!!! He never said he was a Douluo, yet this child can see through my soul power level!"

His identity was secret and could never be exposed; the only possibility was that this child truly possessed soul power at level ninety, able to effortlessly gauge his strength!

Suddenly, a cold sweat trickled down his forehead. The elder bowed respectfully. "Your Excellency Xu Sheng, I was presumptuous!"

The other Soul Palace members standing behind also bowed their heads deeply...

Only Su Yuntao gasped, "Hiss, could it be that this elder really is a Douluo-level powerhouse..."

To send a Douluo to escort him, Xu Sheng’s prestige was undeniably great!

Xu Sheng helped the elder up with a faint smile. "No need for such formality; let's depart promptly."

A small display of skill and he had the elder thoroughly subdued.

The elder nodded gratefully, his favor toward Xu Sheng growing stronger...

With such terrifying talent and skill at winning hearts, this child’s future would surely be extraordinary!

No, from the moment of Martial Soul awakening, he had been extraordinary—a title Douluo at the pinnacle of the continent!

Turning around, the elder ordered the Soul Palace members, "Listen! All Soul Palace personnel, protect Your Excellency Xu Sheng with all your might! No mistakes allowed!"

Standing awkwardly beside them, Su Yuntao cautiously said, "My lord, I..."

The elder shot a cold glance at Su Yuntao, who immediately took two involuntary steps back...

Then, with a troubled expression, he explained to Xu Sheng, "Your Excellency Xu Sheng, His Holiness the Pope only instructed us to escort you to Soul City; I’m afraid..."

Xu Sheng glanced at Su Yuntao trembling beside him, his eyes filled with silent grievance, and almost smiled...

But Bibidong of the original story was always decisive and unyielding...

Under these circumstances, even if he wanted to take Su Yuntao along, it was impossible.

He cocked his lips with a dashing look. "Xiao Taozi, since that’s the case, you won’t be coming with me. I’ll be looking out for you from afar..."

Su Yuntao was self-aware enough to know that going to Soul City would only earn him a cold reception, so he nodded and silently withdrew to one side...

Xu Sheng covered his forehead, quietly complaining, "Eh, Xiao Taozi looks so pitiful like this, anyone would think I abandoned him."

Well, well, he would find an opportunity to make it up to him later...

With that thought, Xu Sheng turned around slowly, his expression relaxed. "Let’s set off!"

The elder nodded lightly upon receiving the order. "Yes, Your Excellency Xu Sheng."

"Depart!"

At the command, all the Soul Palace members immediately surrounded Xu Sheng and began to move rapidly...
