Xu Sheng smiled slightly, "Thank you, Elder Gui."
Gui Mei was somewhat helpless, "Who makes you the Holy Son of the Martial Soul Hall? If no one were to protect, going alone to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect would be improper!"
"However... Xu Sheng, I know you understand abyssal creatures very well, but do be careful!!"
Currently, Xu Sheng's power is not weak, but he hasn't reached the level of a Hyper Douluo yet!
Creatures that can threaten him are not few!!
Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Rest assured, even if I'm not their match, I am absolutely certain of my escape!"
Gui Mei didn't dwell on it further, and signaled, "If so, I have nothing more to say. Xu Sheng, you should head to the gates of the Martial Soul City and wait."
...
Not long after, at the gates of the Martial Soul Hall...
Many soul masters whose soul power rank reached Soul Sage or above were gathered...
"Why did Elder Gui suddenly have us gather here? What's the reason?"
"If I guessed right, it seems we're going to support the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, they've encountered an attack by abyssal creatures."
"Tsk, the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect being attacked has nothing to do with our Martial Soul Hall?? Would rather they were destroyed!"
"You can't say that, just a few days ago our Martial Soul Hall reached a cooperation agreement with the upper three families, and if something goes wrong now, it would be very impactful!"
"What's unspeakable? Our Martial Soul Hall and the upper three families were enemies to begin with, just cooperating on the surface."
Next moment, they suddenly stopped this topic...
Because Gui Mei and Xu Sheng walked up...
Everyone quickly greeted, "Elder Gui!!"
Gui Mei nodded and then pointed to Xu Sheng beside him, "You shouldn't have seen him before, he is the Holy Son of our Martial Soul Hall, Xu Sheng."
Though Xu Sheng's identity as Holy Son was announced externally, only a few were able to see him!
So, it's normal for these soul masters not to recognize him!
With this word, everyone widened their eyes, their gaze fixed on Xu Sheng...
"What?? The Holy Son of the Martial Soul Hall?? He's actually so young!!"
"Hiss, I thought the Holy Son of the Martial Soul Hall would at least be over fourteen years old, but it turns out he's not even ten!!"
"I've had the privilege of seeing the Holy Daughter once, but this is the first time seeing the Holy Son, truly extraordinary!!"
"Even so, why is Elder Gui bringing His Highness the Holy Son here, aren't we going to support the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect??"
Seeming to see through their thoughts, Gui Mei nodded in affirmation, "As you thought, this time going to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect will be led by the Holy Son!"
This sentence made everyone a bit bewildered...
"Huh?? Elder Gui isn't joking, right? The Seven Treasures Glaze Sect is currently under attack by abyssal creatures, if His Highness the Holy Son goes, it might be very dangerous!"
"Yes, even the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect has requested assistance, I doubt relying on us alone is able to protect His Highness the Holy Son!!"
"Elder Gui, are you joking? His Highness the Holy Son's status is noble, and how can we go together to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!!"
"That's right, Elder Gui, we should just go to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect ourselves, ensuring the mission completion!!"
Though said gently, they undoubtedly saw Xu Sheng, the Holy Son, as a burden!
If anything unexpected happens, no one present could bear the responsibility!
Gui Mei naturally caught the implied meaning, pursed her lips, then said to Xu Sheng beside her, "Xu Sheng, they seem to misunderstand your prowess?"
"Why not show your strength for now, so they'll heed your command later."
In the Martial Soul Hall, strength speaks!
As long as Xu Sheng's prowess earns their admiration, they naturally won't disobey his orders!
Xu Sheng frowned, seemingly reluctant...
Yet, considering something, he immediately released his Martial Soul...
As his palm blossomed with the blood-colored Nine-Hearted Begonia, a terrifying killing intent erupted...
Underfoot floated nine black soul rings....
Under this pressure, these soul masters were forced to bend over, their legs trembling incessantly...
Eyes full of incredulousness....
"I... my heavens, is this an illusion??"
"His Highness the Holy Son, is actually... a Titled Douluo, how can this be possible, no matter how gifted, it's impossible to cultivate so quickly!!"
"Hiss... such terrifying aura, I feel myself about to be swallowed by the surrounding thick killing intent!!"
"No wonder Your Holiness made him the Holy Son, he has reached Titled Douluo level at such a young age, this is unprecedented over centuries!!"
"Just now I thought His Highness the Holy Son was a burden, it's truly a mortal sin."
Seeing Xu Sheng instantly subdue these soul masters, Gui Mei spoke, "Now, who has objections to His Highness the Holy Son leading you to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect??"
With words landing, no one dared to speak!
Seeing this, Xu Sheng immediately restrained his Martial Soul, the dreadful pressure disappeared instantly...
"Since there are no objections, follow me to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect then."
Free to catch their breath, they then stood tall, "Yes, His Highness the Holy Son!"
...
Inside the palace!
Qian Renxue, shedding her disguise, glanced at the Serpent Spear Douluo beside her, spoke faintly, "Serpent Spear Douluo, thank you for the hard work in staying behind these days."
Serpent Spear Douluo was taken aback yet honored, quickly cupping his fists, "Holy Daughter's words, I've done nothing, protecting you is my duty!"
"Only a pity, when those abyssal creatures attacked you, due to Bone Douluo, I was unable to act."
Qian Renxue shook her head, "No worries, if you had acted, my identity would probably be exposed."
Contrary to his thoughts, she felt fortunate he hadn't acted alone!
Otherwise, it would affect the whole plan's execution!
Pausing a moment, Qian Renxue again spoke, "What's your take on abyssal creatures?"
Hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo gave a fair opinion, "Holy Daughter, I've never seen these abyssal creatures before, but in terms of power, they're more troublesome than soul beasts."
"Not to mention, some even possess intelligence!!"
Qian Renxue's eyes were gravely serious, "Not just troublesome, if during this attack, those powerful abyssal creatures are involved"
"Relying merely on Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong's protection, no, even adding you, I truly might not survive."
Serpent Spear Douluo swallowed hard, "Hiss... it seems I underestimated abyssal creatures. Didn't think they also had such beings!"
Qian Renxue glanced at him, again spoke, "However, according to Xu Sheng, at present, there's no need to overly worry."
"Abyssal creatures shouldn't be entirely confident to wipe out the human world, otherwise, there's no need for repeated assaults!"
