—------------------—
Emperor Xingluo had heard of Xiao Mu's name for a long time and had seen Xiao Mu's portrait, but this was the first time he had seen Xiao Mu in person.
Although he was unable to move, after entering the hall, he immediately noticed the figure that no one could ignore, even though there were several figures with powerful auras below this figure.
In addition to Xiao Mu, Qian Daoliu, Ghost Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo were also in the hall, and the alchemy trio was also in the hall.
"Palace Master, I have lived up to your trust. The Xingluo Empire has been destroyed. The Xingluo Emperor dared to offend the Soul Palace and has been captured by my subordinates. I pray for your judgment."
Qian Renxue has already adapted to her role as a subordinate and no longer feels the slightest bit of discomfort.
"Well done."
Xiao Mu replied calmly, then said to Xing Luo Emperor:
"You seem to have something to say?"
Xiao Mu snapped his fingers, and a black flame flew out from the seven orifices of the Xingluo Emperor and poured into his body.
"Ah~"
Wherever the black flames passed, all the poisons were devoured and burned, but Xiao Mu did not operate carefully, so while the black flames burned the poisons, they also caused trauma and great pain to Xingluo Emperor's meridians.
In just a few breaths, all the toxins in Xingluo Emperor's body were eliminated, but he looked extremely weak, as if he had been fished out of the water.
"Thank you, Palace Master Xiao, for removing the poison from me."
Although Emperor Xingluo was very weak, he still struggled to stand up. His pale face looked much weaker than when he was captured.
Emperor Xingluo, who was well aware of his current situation, didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:
"Please have mercy, Palace Master, and spare the lives of my two sons. They have no idea that I am overestimating my own capabilities and intending to take on the Soul Palace."
Emperor Xingluo has always been very strict with his two sons and has never shown them the love and tolerance of a loving father.
But at this point, what he wants most is to save his son's life.
"It seems you have no room for bargaining." Xiao Mu said coldly.
"I really have nothing right now, but I should still be able to provide some things and information that the Palace Master might be interested in."
"Tell me about it?"
"Palace Master should know that it wasn't just me and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan that wanted to deal with Soul Palace. There was another force as well. This force was very secretive, and I... can provide some information about this force."
Before Xiao Mu could say anything, Ghost Douluo laughed disdainfully.
"You provided this information too late. The seven hidden families you mentioned have already been wiped out by my Soul Palace."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xingluo's body shook a few times.
He thought the Soul Palace would be interested in the news, but it was scrapped right from the start, causing his heart to sink.
Those seven hidden families were very mysterious. Even though he knew some information, he could not confirm the specific locations of these seven families. Unexpectedly, they were found by the Soul Palace and were directly wiped out.
"I have another piece of news."
Emperor Xingluo gritted his teeth.
"Palace Master Xiao, this Xue Qinghe isn't just a subordinate of the Soul Hall, he's also a Spirit Hall member, and he holds a very high position within the Spirit Hall. He's deliberately approaching the Soul Hall, and he definitely has ill intentions. He's definitely trying to target the Soul Hall, so please be careful, Palace Master."
Even the Xingluo Emperor didn't dare to confirm whether Xue Qinghe was from the Spirit Hall.
But the previous news has been invalidated, and he can only take a risk.
But this news that Emperor Xingluo had high hopes for was even more ridiculous.
Xiao Mu waved to Qian Renxue.
"Renxue, let this Xingluo Emperor see who you really are?"
Qian Renxue also had a smile on her lips and gave Xingluo Emperor a sarcastic look.
This guy is still thinking of backstabbing me? But the Palace Master already knows my identity clearly and doesn't care at all, instead using it to his advantage.
"Yes, Palace Master."
Qian Renxue's body shape changed, returning to her original appearance. Not only that, her angel wings appeared behind her and fluttered slightly, carrying Qian Renxue's feet off the ground.
"You guessed right, I am from the Spirit Hall and I have a certain status in the Spirit Hall."
Emperor Xingluo was completely stunned.
His guess was correct. When he saw Qian Renxue's angel wings, he completely understood Qian Renxue's identity in the Spirit Hall. Only the Qian family possessed angel spirits, so it was no wonder that there were several Titled Douluo protecting her.
It was unbelievable that a member of the Qian clan had become the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire. This meant that the Spirit Hall had probably already begun planning for the Tiandou Empire and the Xing Luo Empire.
Even if they don't launch an attack this time, they will prepare to annex the two empires sooner or later.
But then, Xingluo Emperor's heart was filled with doubts again.
Given her status in the Spirit Hall, how could she be so close to them? And actually consider herself a subordinate?
It doesn't matter if he can't figure it out, Xingluo Emperor has already realized that his goal is completely impossible to achieve.
After seeing this secret, how could the three of them, father and son, have any chance of survival?
He did have some hidden imperial money, but this was one of his most worthless trump cards. He did not believe that a mere sum of money could change the Soul Palace's decision.
Davis and Dai Mubai were already stunned.
Whether it was what Xingluo Emperor said about him wanting to join forces with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan to deal with the Soul Palace, or that Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, was actually a member of the Spirit Palace, these were secrets they had never thought of.
"Ah~"
Emperor Xingluo sighed softly.
Looking at his two dazed sons, he felt sad.
"Actually, you got one thing wrong."
Suddenly, Xiao Mu's voice sounded again.
"I can make you cough up all the information you can provide, even if you don't volunteer it."
It is basically impossible to hide secrets in front of the Soul Palace.
At this time, Emperor Xingluo also remembered a rumor that the Lord of the Soul Palace had a flag in his hand that could absorb the souls of soul masters.
It seems that the rumors are true. Not only does the flag exist, but it can also make the souls that enter it reveal all their secrets.
"I give in. Offending the Soul Palace was definitely the worst decision I've ever made."
In order to save the lives of his two sons, Emperor Xingluo had always referred to himself as "I". Now that all these efforts have become a joke, he simply stopped putting himself in a difficult position.
He has realized the cruel reality. In the face of absolute strength, so-called power and calculations are all jokes.
Even if he had not offended the Soul Palace, the ambitious Spirit Palace would probably not let Xingluo Emperor go. It was only a matter of time.
"What are you going to do with the three of us, father and son?"
After experiencing so many ups and downs, Emperor Xingluo has become much more calm.
Now death is no longer a fear for him, but a relief.
Of course, he forgot the effect of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Even if he died, he could not be liberated and could only experience a longer period of darkness.
"Renxue, this guy should be of some use to you, right?"
Qian Renxue was stunned when she heard this.
He captured Xingluo Emperor and the others alive just to complete the Soul Palace's mission. If it had any other benefit to her, it was to establish Xue Qinghe's higher prestige and make it easier for her to control the power of the Tiandou Empire.
