Chapter 2567: Exposure_1

Soon after, these Soul Masters from Martial Soul Hall who had been in a deep sleep abruptly woke up, scanning their surroundings, only to find that Xu Sheng had completely disappeared...

They couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh no, how did we fall unconscious, and where is the guy that Her Holiness the Pope has ordered to be apprehended??"

"Isn't it obvious? He must have escaped! What we didn't expect was for him to be able to elude so many of us despite being surrounded!"

One of the Soul Masters felt somewhat humiliated but still said stubbornly, "I remember that we were no match for that kid. He easily took us down. Speaking of which, we should thank him for not killing us!"

"Thank someone my ass, the kid just got lucky, it was entirely because we were careless!!"

"Exactly, a mere child, did he really think he could stand against us?"

"Give it a rest, we're lucky to be alive! But now I understand why Her Holiness the Pope would expend so much effort to issue a warrant for a child. The opponent possesses extremely terrifying talent, and if he cannot be persuaded to join Martial Soul Hall, then he must be destroyed!"

"Stop the chatter, let's think about what to do next."

After a brief discussion, these Soul Masters decided to bring back Xu Sheng's words!

Otherwise, they would have no way to explain themselves!

Were they to say that a group of Martial Soul Hall elites tried to ambush a six or seven-year-old child and then got terribly defeated?

They couldn't afford to lose face like that!!

Only after these Soul Masters had left did Xu Sheng emerge from the shadows, his expression complex with a mix of emotions...

Presumably, after this event, there shouldn't be anyone from Martial Soul Hall coming to disturb him anymore!

Of course, he had Ghost Charm and Yue Guan to thank for this because without them, it wouldn't have been possible for him to acquire such formidable combat strength so quickly!

Little did they know, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

The Porcupine Douluo, who had been trailing behind and had witnessed everything, had his eyes widen in shock...

He couldn't help exclaiming, "How... How is this possible? This kid, he's actually a Title Douluo level powerhouse, but he's clearly only six or seven years old!"

Porcupine Douluo had noticed something was off when Xu Sheng was being followed by the Spirit Hall soul masters, so he had very discreetly followed...

After all, in his eyes, Xu Sheng still had some usefulness to the Holy Daughter; he couldn't let him die just like that!

An idea immediately came to mind...

No, I must tell the Holy Daughter about this. We absolutely cannot be deceived by this boy!

With such strength, yet intentionally getting close to the Holy Daughter, there must be a secret unknown to others!

But just as he was preparing to depart, a very calm voice came from behind him...

"You saw everything that just happened, didn't you? Rushing off like this is quite impolite!"

The speaker was none other than Xu Sheng!

He hadn't noticed the former's presence at first, but the surprising shout was so obvious that it immediately caught his attention!

The pupils of Porcupine Douluo instantly turned cold, and he flashed into position right in front of Xu Sheng, demanding, "Kid, since you've discovered me, I won't hide any longer. Tell me, what are your intentions with the Holy Daughter and why do you possess the strength of a Title Douluo at your age?"

Hearing this, Xu Sheng did not get angry. "Porcupine Douluo, I have no hidden agenda; I was forced by Martial Soul Hall to take refuge in the Tiandou Empire Palace!"

Porcupine Douluo narrowed his eyes, "You really are deceitful, you even know who I am!"

It appeared that he also knew about Crown Prince Xue Qinghe being impersonated by Holy Daughter Qian Renxue!

This boy must not be spared!!

In an instant, a vast killing intent burst forth...

Yet Xu Sheng cautioned, "Porcupine Douluo, are you sure you want to fight here? It could draw the attention of the civilians and Soul Masters of the Tiandou Empire..."

Although this location was quite secluded, a battle at the Title Douluo level was not child's play—it could lead to the utter devastation of the surrounding life!

The murderous intent that had just arisen suddenly deflated, as he gritted his teeth and said, "You little..."

Now he could not risk revealing himself by making a move, otherwise, he might inadvertently involve the Holy Daughter!

With that thought, he let out a cold "hmph" and then quickly disappeared from the spot, decisively abandoning the idea of killing Xu Sheng...

Only then did the former quietly breathe a sigh of relief...

To tell the truth, the chance of winning a battle against Porcupine Douluo now was not great!

The reason was simple: the opponent was a Hyper Douluo, far stronger than him by no small margin!

Beyond that, he was still not able to freely use his Martial Soul. It was only with the three soul bones bestowed upon him by Bi Bidong that he could barely withstand the pressure...

After shaking his head, he made a firm decision, "It seems I must take this opportunity to tell Ren Xue everything."

Originally, he had planned to act after they became more familiar, but after being discovered by Porcupine Douluo today, there was no point in continuing to hide!

...

Worship Hall!

The Serpent Spear Douluo, with a face full of respect, looked at the man in front of him who was engulfed in a sacred breath and said, "Grand Elder!"

The latter was none other than Qian Dao Liu, who had reached the level of an Ultimate Douluo!

His pupils sparked with a few strands of light as he asked, "How goes the task I set for you?"

Upon hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo immediately replied, "Reporting back to the Grand Elder, we have successfully had the Holy Daughter replace the Original Star Luo Empire's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and thus far, nothing has gone awry!"

After getting the answer, Qian Dao Liu nodded slightly and said, "Good."

The Spirit Skull of Qian Renxue was exceedingly rare and its effects were incredibly powerful!

After the simulation, only if probed by someone at the Super Douluo level could a flaw possibly be exposed!

Ordinary soul masters couldn't see through it at all!

However, when he saw Porcupine Douluo still standing there, his cheeks betraying a hint of hesitation, he asked in confusion, "Porcupine, is there something else?"

The expression on Porcupine Douluo's face gradually turned serious, "Yes, Grand Elder, the very day that the Holy Daughter took Prince Xue Qinghe's place, a child mysteriously got close to her!"

"From what I observed, he should be the child personally ordered by the Pope to be apprehended!"

Qian Dao Liu showed a look of surprise, "Oh?"

It was the first time he had seen Bi Bidong make such a big fuss, and the target was just a child!

He immediately commanded, "Go investigate on my behalf immediately, and make sure to ascertain the reason behind Bi Bidong's pursuit of this child!"

Porcupine Douluo offered no objection, "Grand Elder, I, of course, have no issue, but what about the Holy Daughter's side?"

Qian Dao Liu glanced at him, "There are no strong warriors in the Tiandou Empire Palace; with Serpent Spear protecting Ren Xue, that should be enough!"

If there were any decent powerhouses in the Tiandou Empire Palace, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe wouldn't have been replaced so easily!

Porcupine Douluo swallowed hard, "I understand! Grand Elder!"

Given the Grand Elder's character, if this child posed a potential threat to the Holy Daughter, he would definitely eliminate the child at all costs!
