Chapter 2543: Warrant_1

Xu Sheng did not insist on changing his mind, but instead echoed, "Indeed, across the entire Soul Land, there has not been a single Soul Master who has traversed time and space, and even gods may not be capable of it."

His earnest demeanor deepened Xue Qinghe's impression of him...

Xue Qinghe pondered, "I feel that your way of speaking doesn't seem to match that of a child of your age?"

Xu Sheng did not answer directly, but instead replied meaningfully, "Crown Prince, aren't you the same?"

Xue Qinghe's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I am the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire..."

He stopped at that, not continuing further...

Otherwise, wouldn't he be boasting about his status?

He knew about the original Xue Qinghe's personality, who would not do such a thing!

After a short pause, he said with a smile, "That's true, there will always be some precocious children in the world, like you and me!"

Taking a moment, he inquired, "There's still some distance to the main hall, could you tell me about yourself along the way?"

Being of such a young age yet exhibiting thoughts uncharacteristic of his peers, his identity could certainly not be just a child from a poor mountain village!

Perhaps, it would be possible to extract some information!

The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth lifted slightly, "Of course..."

Even though he was well aware that Qian Renxue, posing as Xue Qinghe, was probing him for information, he did not dislike it!

This only proved that the woman he loved was the best!

Meanwhile, the Porcupine Douluo, following behind and watching them talk and laugh with ease, couldn't help but scratch his head, "Strange, what is the Holy Daughter whispering about with that boy? The distance is too far, I can't hear clearly!"

He dared not release his spiritual power and Soul Power, for he would surely be detected by the powerful guards of the Tiandou Empire Palace!

To expose the plan because of a bratty kid, it wouldn't be worth it!

But on second thought, if he followed them, he had no soul skill for invisibility, and might very well be discovered!

After a sigh, he waved his hand, "Never mind, no matter how clever that kid is, he couldn't possibly do anything to the Holy Daughter?"

What am I worrying about...

After all, even the Grand Elder has already decided that the Holy Daughter will be the future ruler of the Martial Soul Hall!

This shows just how outstanding she is!

...

At this moment, Yueguan and his companion had already arrived at Martial Soul City and went straight to the Pope Hall!

They both bowed deeply and spoke with respect, "Your Holiness!"

Sitting high above in the Pope's Chair was the current Pope, Bi Bidong!

Holding the Crystal Staff, she propped her chin with her hand, her captivating Beautiful Eyes intently gazing at the two, and asked softly, "Yueguan, Gui Mei, have you brought the child?"

Yueguan swallowed hard, responding with righteous indignation, "Your Holiness, Gui Mei and I did indeed find the child with innate soul power level ninety, and he had agreed to join the Martial Soul Hall!"

"But as we were about to withdraw, he went mad and destroyed the entire Holy Soul Village, taking advantage of the chaos to escape; his actions deserve condemnation!"

Gui Mei also agreed reluctantly, "That's right, Your Holiness, if it wasn't for our efforts to rescue the villagers from Holy Soul Village, we would have brought him back by now!"

Bi Bidong's Beautiful Eyes showed a chilling coldness, and even the Purple Crystal Scepter trembled slightly, "After saying so much, are you telling me that the mission has failed?"

Two beings comparable to Hyper Douluo, and yet they couldn't bring back a child!

It's not just the face of these two Elders that's been lost, but the dignity of me as the Pope!

Yueguan grew anxious and explained, "Your Holiness, that child is cruel by nature. To reject us, he slaughtered the entire village, a truly evil being!"

"I suggest we issue a warrant for this person immediately!"

At this moment, Bi Bidong stood up slowly, without showing any emotion...

About a dozen seconds later, she finally spoke coldly, "Yueguan, Gui Mei, you have disappointed me greatly! To think you would concoct such lies to deceive me because of your own incompetence!"

Neither Yueguan nor Gui Mei had expected this, and they blankly said, "Your... Your Holiness!"

Although they sometimes employed cunning tactics, their loyalty to the Martial Soul Hall was absolutely beyond doubt!

For His Holiness to speak such words was undoubtedly a tremendous blow...

Yueguan glanced at Gui Mei and saw him nodding his head...

Taking a deep breath, no longer concealing their mistake, "Your Holiness, we...we indeed made up an excuse for the failure of our mission, but that child is incredibly cunning, managing to use the Titan Ape to block our way and escape in the process!"

Gui Mei clenched his fists tightly, "Yes, if we hadn't used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Yueguan and I would have been gravely injured at the very least!"

Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes showed a few changes...

She said indifferently, "You have made so many contributions for me, I naturally trust you!"

It seemed that Yueguan and Gui Mei's use of an excuse to cover up their failure was true, and that child with Innate Soul Power Level Ninety was indeed as cunning as they had described!

Upon hearing this, both of them suddenly breathed a sigh of relief...

If the same problem were to occur next time, they absolutely couldn't repeat the same mistake!

They must disclose everything...

Gathering his courage, Yueguan spoke up, "Your Majesty, please give us a chance to redeem ourselves!"

Gui Mei did not speak, but his expression said it all...

However, Bi Bidong seemed to have lost interest, settling back into the Pope's Chair...

She waved her hand, "There's no need for that, if he can't be of use to me, then he shouldn't be left to other forces."

"Notify all branches of the Martial Soul Hall to put out a warrant for Xu Sheng. Once found, he is to be killed without mercy!"

Such talent must be dealt with before he grows into an obstacle in the future!

Upon hearing this, Yueguan and Gui Mei's faces lit up with joy, "Yes, Your Majesty! We shall take our leave then."

But before they could get up, Bi Bidong spoke again to stop them, "Wait... Have we received any outstanding Soul Masters this year?"

Yueguan hesitated for a moment, then reported truthfully, "According to the information from various sub-halls, almost no soul masters from the upper three families have joined our Martial Soul Hall!"

Bi Bidong's expression remained calm as she said, "Hmm."

She had anticipated this situation!

After all, the upper three families had a competitive relationship with the Martial Soul Hall, so it was normal for them not to send in their talents!

Only then did Yueguan continue, "However... there are quite a number of promising talents from other sects. Perhaps there might be some who fit Your Holiness's preference!"

After speaking, he took out a handbook that appeared to be a record file, and respectfully handed it over...

Bi Bidong took it, but her gaze lingered only on the first page...

She nodded in approval, "Good, the Martial Souls and talents of these three are top-notch. If they can defeat soul masters of the same age in the Martial Soul Hall, then let them become my disciples!"

Yueguan and Gui Mei naturally did not dare to disobey, "Yes, Your Majesty!!"
