Chapter 62: The Xuanyuan Family

The outcome was decided.

The golden shockwave sent Yan's massive form flying, crashing through a wall before heavily hitting the ground.

At this moment, Yan was dizzy, overwhelmed by the divine might unique to the Xuanyuan Sword, causing his martial soul possession to be forcibly lifted. Lying on the ground, he was completely unconscious, like a corpse.

"Yan!"

Xie Yue flashed over to Yan's side, bending down to check his breathing before finally sighing in relief.

"Who dared to fight?"

Such a commotion naturally alerted the Spirit Hall experts stationed outside the room. Six figures instantly appeared beside Zhou Chen, surrounding him.

All six had released their martial souls and soul rings, each possessing seven rings.

Soul Saints! Six Soul Saints!

The Spirit Hall's display of power was indeed grand!

Zhou Chen remained silent as his Xuanyuan Sword in front of him trembled gently, emitting a clear and resonant sword hum.

The next second, the sword shot up from the ground, hovering above Zhou Chen's head, its blade horizontal, with the sword tip radiating golden sword light!

"Everyone, don't attack! Ji Chen is with me!"

Seeing Zhou Chen surrounded, Hu Liena quickly shouted. Zhu Zhuqing also flashed into the circle, standing protectively in front of Zhou Chen.

Hearing this, the six Soul Saints glanced at Hu Liena and silently withdrew, retracting their martial souls and soul rings.

Though their strength far surpassed Hu Liena's, they dared not disobey the orders of the Pope's successor.

"Are you okay?"

Hu Liena rushed into Zhou Chen's arms, her voice filled with concern.

"He can't hurt me."

Zhou Chen smiled, spreading his arms to embrace both Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing's slender waists.

"Really? Let me check."

Hu Liena said playfully, carefully checking him over before finally relaxing.

At this moment, Yan, just revived by Xie Yue, happened to see Hu Liena not even glancing at him, instead fussing over the unscathed pretty boy.

Instantly, a mix of unwillingness, anger, and grievance churned within Yan's heart, causing him to suddenly spit blood before fainting again, spraying blood all over Xie Yue's chest.

"Kids just love to fight; at least they showed some restraint this time."

An old, cold voice sounded, and the next moment, five elderly men appeared as if by teleportation.

Of course, they didn't actually use Camus's spatial soul skills; it merely seemed that way due to their overwhelming strength!

An energy field surrounded each of the five elderly men, and though they merely stood, the aura of power was undeniable.

All five wore black robes embroidered with gold patterns.

These golden-patterned black robes were custom attire available only to Soul Douluos level 80 and above, granted by the Spirit Hall!

Moreover, fourteen middle-aged men in black combat attire with steady demeanors followed them in.

From the aura emanating from them, Zhou Chen could clearly feel that all fourteen were Soul Saints.

Including the six Soul Saints who had surrounded him earlier, the Spirit Hall had dispatched five Soul Douluos and twenty Soul Saints to eliminate the Blood Soul Masters!

It was truly terrifying!

"Lord Loldeira, what brings you here?"

Seeing the youngest of the five elders, Hu Liena exclaimed in surprise.

"Your Highness, this operation is of great importance, and His Holiness the Pope sent me here for caution's sake."

The elder, known as Loldeira, replied with a hint of respect, then turned to Zhou Chen, scrutinizing him with increasingly bright eyes.

"You're Ji Chen, right?"

Loldeira chuckled, saying, "Your soul power should be around level 40, yet you defeated Yan, who is level 51, with a single move. This indicates your martial soul is of much higher quality than Yan's Flame Lord."

"How is that possible?"

At this, another Soul Douluo beside Loldeira exclaimed in disbelief.

Yan's Flame Lord martial soul was a top-tier soul inherited from the ancient abyssal plane. Even within the Spirit Hall, there were few who could match its quality.

"Nothing's impossible."

Loldeira smiled, eyeing the golden ancient sword above Zhou Chen's head, and asked, "I've never seen your martial soul before. What is it called?"

"The sword is named Xuanyuan."

Zhou Chen met the Soul Douluo's gaze, speaking steadily.

"Xuanyuan Sword?"

Loldeira raised an eyebrow, cautious, and asked solemnly, "Is this a family-heritage martial soul?"

"Indeed."

Before Zhou Chen could respond, Hu Liena, sensing danger, quickly interjected, "Ji Chen's family has long lived in seclusion, known as the Xuanyuan Family, traditionally passing down their lineage through a single line."

"A single line of descent?"

Hearing this, the seriousness in Loldeira's eyes instantly dissipated.

If the Xuanyuan Sword, such a powerful martial soul, belonged to a large, sprawling family, it could quickly become another Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan or Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, posing a significant threat to the Spirit Hall, perhaps even greater.

But if it was only passed down a single line, and the current heir had a romantic relationship with the Holy Maiden Hu Liena, it would be a significant boon for the Spirit Hall.

Moreover, this boy, at just ten-something years, had reached level 40 in soul power. It implied that Ji Chen's father, grandfather, or even ancestors were likely Super Douluos or Title Douluos.

In other words, Ji Chen had strong backing.

Thinking this, Loldeira's gaze grew increasingly amiable, warmly saying, "Young friend Ji Chen, tonight we will act against the Blood Soul Masters. During that time, the safety of the Holy Maiden will be in your hands."

"I will."

Zhou Chen exchanged a glance with Loldeira, smiling innocently...

Night.

Silvis City, southwest corner.

The Spirit Hall's experts, led by five Soul Douluos, were surrounding the Blood Soul Masters' stronghold from all directions.

Floating in the air, Zhou Chen stood on the Xuanyuan Sword, holding Hu Liena in his arms, fully embodying the style of a cultivator.

Indeed, the Xuanyuan Sword could be used as a flying sword, a result of Zhou Chen's six years of study.

However, both sword flight and the divine aura of the Xuanyuan Sword were passive skills, not soul skills.

To use soul skills, like the "Xuanyuan Sword: Mountains and Rivers Shatter" that Zhou Chen once unleashed, he must activate his first martial soul, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.

The reason being, the Xuanyuan Sword was the Yellow Emperor's companion sword, naturally controlled by the Yellow Emperor martial soul for perfect harmony.

Additionally, the Xuanyuan Sword itself had no soul rings.

In truth, the Xuanyuan Sword was more like an auxiliary part of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor martial soul, sharing a divine-level million-year soul ring with it.
