However, after several minutes, Tang Xiao seemed to understand something., He spoke in a slightly gloomy tone, "Before the message was delivered, the Martial Soul Hall should have known that we would never accept this condition!"
"So, the intent of the Martial Soul Hall is either to prevent us from meeting Xu Sheng or to warn us to choose a suitable location for the meeting!"
If it was the former, then undoubtedly, there would be no negotiations and the Martial Soul Hall and the Hao Tian Clan would officially become enemies!
On the contrary, that would mean there is still room for maneuver, but we must choose a location that satisfies the Martial Soul Hall!
The Elders beside him exchanged looks, all somewhat astonished...
"Sect Master... have you overthought this? I feel like the Martial Soul Hall simply doesn't want Xu Sheng to meet with us!"
"Yes, after all, there was a precedent where we had tried to assassinate that young man, and the Martial Soul Hall probably completely distrusts that this meeting is just for a face-to-face!"
"No matter what, we absolutely cannot agree to this demand. It would be better to let things escalate to destruction!"
Tang Xiao glanced at them and couldn't help but sigh...
"I understand what the Elders mean, but… there is still a significant concern, which is the abyssal creature mentioned by Sect Master Ning that had attacked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect a few days ago, causing heavy casualties, which we cannot ignore!"
"If we fall out with the Martial Soul Hall at this time, we might unnecessarily make another enemy for the sect!"
"If the Martial Soul Hall were to kick us while we are down, that would be disastrous!"
Of course, the most important thing was a remark from Ning Fengzhi that he could not ignore!
If we do not unite the power of all human Soul Masters to counter the abyssal creatures, the ultimate outcome would undoubtedly be extinction!
An Elder sitting beside him propped up his chin, "This... Sect Master also has a point. Those abyssal creatures could inflict heavy damage on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, and I fear that our Hao Tian Clan might not fare much better!"
"However, there's a big difference, as our location is easy to defend and hard to attack. Should we be attacked, the damages shouldn't be severe!"
"Actually, we need not be too fearful!"
The geographical positions of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the Hao Tian Clan are worlds apart, and the latter's territory is not so easy to penetrate!
But Tang Xiao reminded them, "Do not underestimate the abyssal creatures. Sect Master Ning mentioned that among these beings, there are terrifying existences comparable to a Titled Douluo and they even possess intelligence not inferior to humans!"
The former, feeling somewhat embarrassed, changed the subject, "Then, Sect Master, based on your view, how should we handle this matter? Is there still a need to meet with Xu Sheng?"
Tang Xiao's gaze grew firm, "Of course we must meet. This concerns the future safety of the upper three families!"
"Moreover, since the Martial Soul Hall is worried that we might take action against Xu Sheng, then let us choose a location that is fair to both parties!"
The only major players Bi Bidong could use were Ghost Charm and Yue Guan, which compared to the foundation of the Hao Tian Clan, is insignificant!
Upon hearing this, the Elders seemed to think of something…
"Sect Master, could it be that you plan to change the meeting location to..."
The corners of the former's mouth slightly curved up, "That's right, it is the Tiandou Empire Palace!"
"However, we still need to inform the Crown Prince in advance, after all, we can't just barge into the imperial palace, can we?"
The Crown Prince and Xu Sheng are friends; the latter should have no reason to refuse!
…
Meanwhile!
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Xu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, a trace of confusion discernible…
"Until now, I still can't sense the Life Force and Destruction Force. What exactly went wrong?"
"Could it be that the ability released by the Abyssal Emperor in the end truly stripped away these two forces?"
Since arriving in this past world, he had been trying to sense the Life Force and Destruction Force, but to no avail!
This has completely deviated from the original plan!
Thinking of this, Xu Sheng shook his head...
No, it's not very likely!
Those two forces had already formed a new Power of Creation within me; relying on the Abyssal Emperor's capabilities, it's simply not enough to achieve this!
Maybe, there is another reason!!
At this moment, Hulena also suddenly came over, quite curious, "Xu Sheng, what are you doing? It feels a bit strange, and it doesn't look like you're cultivating!"
I just tried to get closer, but I felt extremely oppressed, as if there were a force resisting in the unseen world...
However, when Xu Sheng opened his eyes, that force suddenly disappeared!
Xu Sheng snapped out of it and replied with a smile, "Oh, it's Nana. I wasn't doing much, just feeling the condition of the Soul Power within my body. It shouldn't take long before I can break through again!"
Hulena looked at him suspiciously, "Not doing much? But I clearly felt an unusual force just now!"
Xu Sheng avoided the question, "Maybe it's just your imagination!"
Hulena didn't pursue further, "Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. But I've already heard everything from our teacher!"
"Xu Sheng, do you really plan to meet with people from the Hao Tian Clan? Remember, they once sent assassins after you!"
"This time, who knows what schemes they have!"
Her words conveyed deep concern...
Xu Sheng reassured her, "Don't worry, Nana. This time, I was invited by the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, the Hao Tian Clan probably won't do anything!"
Hulena countered, "That's not necessarily true, maybe the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire is in cahoots with the Hao Tian Clan!"
To the Martial Soul Hall, both the upper three families and the royal household are potential enemies!
Xu Sheng stood up, patted her shoulder, "No, the Crown Prince is my friend, and besides, we have no conflicts with each other!"
Hulena remained skeptical, "A friend? Hmph, when the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire approached you initially, who knows what his ulterior motives were!"
"After all, you possess such incredible talent, by their logic, if they can't use you for the royal household, destroying you is also an option!"
Xu Sheng found it somewhat amusing and frustrating, "Alright, Nana, I know you're concerned about me, but you're thinking a bit too much!"
"Moreover, I'm not going alone; I'll be accompanied by Jiang Long Douluo and Qianjun Douluo, so there will be security!"
This statement made Hulena even more alarmed, she quickly explained, "In that case, it's even more dangerous!"
"The people from the Worship Hall and our Pope Hall don't see eye to eye, maybe the Hao Tian Clan won't make a move, but they might strike first..."
Sensing something, Xu Sheng immediately interrupted, "Alright... they've arrived already, Nana, you go and cultivate with Evil Moon and the others!"
No need to think about it, they must be here on Qian Dao Liu's orders to win me over!
Hulena pursed her lips, unable to say much more, "Okay... alright then, just be very careful with those two people!"
