Chapter 129: I, Ye Xishui, Disagree_1

Poison Not Dead was quite experienced, but this was the first time he had heard of such a formidable combination.

"If it's true, your Martial Soul combination will completely crush Vina, grinding her fiercely beneath you."

After hearing Poison Not Dead's words, Qin Xiao didn't know what to say.

What the hell kind of wolfish words were these?

But he could understand why Poison Not Dead was so excited and shocked.

'It's about time to bring out something tangible.'

Qin Xiao had no intention of hiding the Ultimate Spirit.

After all, the resources and status he could obtain were a direct reflection of his value.

With a thought, a cold breath instantly released from his body.

Poison Not Dead's expression changed drastically.

He felt as if he was no longer holding onto Qin Xiao, but a piece of thousand-year... no, a ten-thousand-year ice.

The bone-chilling coldness invaded his body, making him involuntarily release his grip on Qin Xiao and instinctively step back several paces, staring at Qin Xiao in shock as he activated his Martial Soul and completed the Martial Soul Possession.

"Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion..."

It was only at this moment that he truly believed Qin Xiao's words, "You, you really have the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul?"

Qin Xiao said, "As a supreme powerhouse, don't you have the ability to judge for yourself?"

Poison Not Dead: "..."

Kid, try saying you don't have the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul and the self martial soul with the Golden Second Awakening again?

I will definitely show you what cruelty is.

However.

Because Qin Xiao was too exceptional, he really couldn't bring himself to harm him.

A twin Ultimate Spirit with a self martial soul that had undergone the Golden Second Awakening, such a genius, what if he got injured by his own hand?

Xuan Zi was right. Poison Not Dead was indeed getting old and wouldn't live much longer.

So, Poison Not Dead needed an heir, someone who could lead the Body Sect to prosperity.

Poison Not Dead had originally planned to return to the sect, appoint Long Aotian as the sect's holy son, and arrange for Long Aotian and Vina to be betrothed, thus binding them to the Heavenly Soul Empire.

But now, it seemed more suitable to wait a bit longer.

If Qin Xiao could wholeheartedly be loyal to the Body Sect, he would definitely be the best choice for the future leader.

Sigh...

After a long sigh, Poison Not Dead said solemnly, "I admit, I did underestimate you.

And, I am willing to believe what you said, that only the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul can absorb the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo.

Since you want it, I'm willing to give you the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo..."

Qin Xiao said impatiently, "No need to beat around the bush, just state your conditions."

"Ha-ha, you see right through me," Poison Not Dead laughed.

"Then I'll cut to the chase. My request is simple; I hope you are willing to join my Body Sect. Once your body can handle the power of the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo, I'll hand it over to you."

Qin Xiao replied without hesitation, "Deal, I am now a disciple of the Body Sect."

Poison Not Dead's mouth twitched, "..."

Just a moment ago, he was all defiant, and now he's joined?

What a cunning kid, truly not throwing his falcon until he sees the rabbit.

He snorted coldly, assuming the Sect Master's posture, "Hmph, kid, stop right there, I don't dare to take you in now. Follow me back to the sect first, I need to see how you perform."

Qin Xiao said, "If you're unwilling, then forget it. From now on, you walk your log bridge, and I'll walk my own path. We won't interfere with each other."

With that, he swung his arms and walked away towards the distance.

However,

he could barely take two steps before he found himself unable to move any further.

Poison Not Dead was behind Qin Xiao, tightly gripping his clothes, "Kid, you nearly had me fooled."

Qin Xiao argued, "You won't let me join Body Sect, and now you won't even let me go, isn't that too overbearing?"

Poison Not Dead snorted coldly, "Quit your babbling and come back to the sect with me first."

Without further discussion, he took Qin Xiao and set off for the Heavenly Soul Empire.

...

Elsewhere.

Ming City.

In the imperial palace.

The aged emperor, on the verge of exhaustion, slumped on his throne, listening to the quarreling ministers below.

Actually, at this point, whatever he heard went in one ear and out the other, as he was no longer capable of contemplation.

Therefore, the real decision-maker wasn't him, but the Crown Prince Xu Tianran, sitting beside him in a wheelchair.

"Body Sect's sudden attack on the academy has caused tremendous losses. The financial damage amounts to three billion golden soul coins, and the talent losses are even more severe. I suggest that we spare no expense in finding and eradicating Body Sect's lair!"

Jing Hongchen was so furious he was nearly puffing out his beard and bulging his eyes.

Thinking of the losses incurred this time, he was depressed enough to spit blood.

Having spent upwards of a billion golden soul coins on the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo, all to build a pillar for the Hongchen Clan, a peerless genius, only to have it benefit someone else—he couldn't swallow that indignation.

"Indeed, I also agree that we should strike immediately and pursue Body Sect. With so many people in their ranks, I refuse to believe we can't find a single clue."

Jing Hongchen's proposal immediately garnered the support of Kong Deming, the former Mingde Hall Master and current Supreme Elder of the Worship Hall.

What they didn't mention was that Body Sect hadn't merely caused significant damage to the academy but had also kidnapped a peerless genius.

Saving Qin Xiao was crucial for the future of the Sun-Moon Empire.

After listening to the two of them, Crown Prince Xu Tianran nodded in deep agreement.

But the next moment, a cool voice rang out.

"Body Sect's actions are indeed excessive, claiming their crimes merit death is not an exaggeration. However, I think that at this moment, we should not focus all our energy on Body Sect.

"Shrek is at odds with the three great Empires, and what we should do most is to carefully plan and deploy our forces to accumulate strength for an attack on the three Empires.

"Targeting Body Sect first would likely expose our strength prematurely, alarm the enemy, and may even cause the fragmented forces to unite against us."

A woman was speaking.

Her appearance remained unknown because she wore a white veil over her face.

But the fact that she could speak so much without being interrupted by anyone proved her extraordinary status.

Jing Hongchen stared at this figure, his expression changing for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Because this woman was named Ye Xishui, the foremost Supreme Elder of the Sun-Moon Empire, a formidable figure from the same era as Dragon God Douluo Mu En; even Kong Deming had to address her as a senior.

Of course, Soul Land was not a place that honored the elderly and cherished the young or promoted virtues; strength ruled supreme here, and that Ye Xishui could hold back Jing Hongchen's retort in his throat also proved her immense power.

The term 'madwoman'... was not coined in vain.

Jing Hongchen turned his gaze to Kong Deming, hoping the latter would speak up.

But he saw Kong Deming frowning deeply.

The atmosphere in the room had become somewhat tense.

At this point, Xu Tianran in the wheelchair spoke, "Lord Hongchen and the Supreme Elder both make valid points, but this matter is of great significance, and Father should consider it carefully.

"You may all return for now.

"Especially Lord Hongchen, please report any difficulties in the academy's and Mingde Hall's reconstruction promptly. The Empire will provide full support."
