Chapter 1530: The Youth Soul Master Competition is Suspended (Please Subscribe)_1

All the ministers within the palace swallowed hard, never having imagined that Dai Tianling would order an execution for this matter!

This was unprecedented, but it also showed the Princess's place in his heart!

Then, regaining their senses, they began to speak in attempts to soothe, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger! The evil Soul Master daring to kidnap Her Royal Highness at the young Soul Master competition must have been premeditated!"

"Indeed, and since they captured her alive, the Princess must be unharmed. She is most likely going to be used to threaten us, killing him will not help the situation!"

"Your Majesty, please reconsider. Killing him would only reduce our Xingluo Empire's top combat power. What we need to think about now is locating that group of evil Soul Masters and rescuing Her Royal Highness," they advised.

Hearing these words, Dai Tianling took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge to execute the man...

He said solemnly, "You are right, the priority is to find Yun'er and ensure she is safely brought back!"

Just now, he had lost his rationality simply because Dai Yun'er had been captured by an evil Soul Master!

Hearing this, the strongman kneeling on the ground secretly breathed a sigh of relief, grateful to have kept his life...

The ministers also patted their chests, understanding that anyone would react similarly if their own daughter was taken, especially when it was the Emperor's most doted-on daughter!

With this in mind, "What are you daydreaming for, hurry up and tell us what happened when the Princess was captured by the evil Soul Master!"

The man kneeling on the ground hurriedly said, "Yes, the situation is like this..."

Minutes later, Dai Tianling narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you saying... Yun'er was lured out by a servant of our imperial palace and then captured by the evil Soul Master?"

The man nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! I suspect the evil Soul Master has placed spies inside our palace! In addition, the others responsible for protecting the Princess have already pursued them!"

"But it is still uncertain whether they can rescue her!"

Dai Tianling's voice turned cold as he commanded, "Effective immediately, intensify the search around the palace grounds, we must find the Holy Spirit Cult's spies, better to make a mistake than to miss one!"

"Furthermore, as much as possible, increase the manpower within our territory, we must rescue Yun'er!"

If it was as these ministers said, then the evil Soul Master would definitely use Yun'er to blackmail him into meeting some condition!

But no matter the cost, as long as she could return safely to his side, that was what mattered!

At this moment, Dai Tianling was not the revered His Majesty the Emperor, but a father worried about his daughter's safety!

...

Meanwhile, at the young Soul Master competition...

The news of Dai Yun'er's abduction spread rapidly, reaching the ears of all Soul Masters...

"What? Her Royal Highness the Princess was kidnapped by an evil Soul Master, how could such a thing happen?"

"And right at the venue of the young Soul Master competition—this is a blatant provocation against our Xingluo Empire!"

"Damn those evil Soul Masters, the Princess they captured will likely suffer unimaginably!"

At the same time, the announcer standing on the stage, with the command received in his earpiece...

Put on a troubled expression, steeled himself, walked to the center of the stage, and gripping the microphone, announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, competitors, I am very sorry, but due to unforeseen circumstances that have arisen, the young Soul Master competition will be halted!"

Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone knew that it was because of the incident involving the Princess, Dai Yun'er, being taken by the evil Soul Master!

...

Backstage at the competition, Xie Xie stretched his muscles and said, "It's almost time for us to go on stage again. We might actually have a shot at winning the championship!"

Xu Xiaoyan said excitedly, "Hmm, the only teams that pose a threat to us are a few individual ones; the rest are just rabble!"

Gu Yue glanced at them and said, "Although it sounds a bit harsh, it's indeed as Xiao Yan says!"

Tang Wulin shrugged his shoulders, "I always feel that this year's Young Soul Master Contest is a bit easier than the previous ones! Maybe it's because, on the Xingluo Continent, everyone wants to hide their strength."

Apart from this, they could think of no other reason!

"Let's hope so, after all, the winning team can not only obtain precious forging materials but also a soul bone."

But the next second, they heard a heart-breaking announcement from the broadcast...

"Ladies and gentlemen, spectators and contestants, we are very sorry to announce that due to irresistible factors that have recently emerged, this year's Young Soul Master Contest will be canceled,"

Xie Xie's face froze instantly, "Damn it, what a coincidence? We just started to get pumped up, and now it's stopped?"

Tang Wulin said with a wry smile, "It seems that this soul bone and the precious forging materials are destined to elude us."

Xu Xiaoyan clenched his fists, his face full of unwillingness, "Damn it, the pigeon was just about to land in our hands and now it's flown away! The Xingluo Empire doesn't even give us a little something to show for it."

Wu Siduo pressed her thin lips together, "It's not like we were guaranteed to win, either. Isn't it a bit too arrogant to say that?"

Even she, with her strong individual prowess, sometimes felt helpless in the team competitions!

Only Gu Yue said coldly, "More important than the rewards is the reason why the Young Soul Master Contest has been canceled!"

Following that, they turned their attention to the other teams' contestants who were discussing in hushed tones...

"Have you heard? Just a short while ago, Her Royal Highness the Princess was abducted by an evil Soul Master!"

"Is that true? With so many strong protectors around Her Royal Highness, how did the evil Soul Master manage that?"

"Who knows? It's best not to discuss these things carelessly. We don't want to bring trouble upon ourselves!"

"Let's go, let's go. Since the Young Soul Master Contest is canceled, there's no need for us fillers to stick around!"

Gu Yue's cheeks showed a thoughtful expression, "So that's it; it's because the Princess of the Xingluo Empire was captured by an evil Soul Master?"

Such organized and disciplined actions... could hardly be unrelated to the Holy Spirit Cult!

Xie Xie sighed, "I didn't expect evil Soul Masters had infiltrated the Xingluo Empire. This Princess, I'm afraid she has a slim chance of survival!"

Xu Xiaoyan also looked disappointed, "What can we do? Since the Young Soul Master Contest can't even be held, I guess the Xingluo Land exchange competitions will have to stop too."

However, Tang Wulin and Gu Yue both disagreed, "No, the two are completely different in nature."

The former coughed and said, "Gu... Gu Yue, you explain it!"

Gu Yue's face turned slightly red, and she said softly, "The Young Soul Master Contest is a competition aimed at Soul Masters within the Empire, whereas the Xingluo Land exchange competition is more about allowing young Soul Masters from different continents to compete and to promote mutual development!"

Xu Xiaoyan cut in, "Then let's cut the crap and go outside too. Our teachers and teammates are waiting for us!"

Having said this, everyone quickly left the backstage area of the Young Soul Master Contest...
