Chapter 3934
Martial Soul City, Pope Hall!
Xu Sheng walked toward one of the Spirit Hall Soldiers and nodded as a signal...
Although the latter seemed somewhat confused, he still spoke up, "Your Highness the Holy Son, do you need any help?"
Xu Sheng affirmed, "Yes, could you please get me some ink, brush, and paper!"
He had almost forgotten that he had not yet responded to the High Priest from Sea God's Island...
After all, they had specially sent someone to transmit the message, clearly wanting to know his opinion!
Confusion appeared in the eyes of the former, showing some hesitation, "This..."
Seeing this, Xu Sheng couldn't help but joke, "What, can't I, the Holy Son, even write a letter?"
Upon hearing this, the Spirit Hall Soldier hurriedly waved his hands and explained, "No... no, Your Highness, it's just that the Martial Soul Hall has recently been under martial law, and I'm worried..."
Hulena, unable to stand by, interjected with a tone mixed with some anger, "Xu Sheng told you to get ink and paper, what are you waiting for? Do you want to disobey?"
The former was startled into action, promptly changing his previous attitude...
"Yes, Your Highness the Holy Daughter, I'll get the ink and paper right away!"
Although it was unclear what attitude the Pope had toward His Highness the Holy Son, the Holy Daughter was certainly seen as being groomed to be the next Pope!
How could he dare show any disrespect!
After saying this, he quickly turned and left...
At that moment, Flame suddenly moved closer, wrapping an arm around Xu Sheng's back, "Hehe, Xu Sheng, it's rare to see you at a disadvantage. Even though you are the Holy Son, your words don't seem as effective as Nana's!"
Hulena's face turned red as she softly scolded, "Flame, what are you saying!"
Flame, however, didn't think he had said anything wrong and seriously said, "I'm just telling the truth. Look at how that soldier treated you compared to how he treated you!"
Evil Moon also slightly nodded, "Indeed, the guards of the Martial Soul Hall seem to have a somewhat improper attitude toward Xu Sheng, the Holy Son!"
Hulena was surprised, "Brother, why do you say that too? I think that soldier was just genuinely worried."
She then explained to Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, please don't mind, our teacher certainly values you highly, too!"
Xu Sheng dismissively waved his hand, "It's okay, I have not yet earned enough trust from His Holiness the Pope, so it's natural that these people of the Spirit Hall wouldn't trust me!"
Hulena wanted to say something but swallowed her words, unsure of how to refute...
Suddenly, Flame cut off the conversation, quite curious, "Xu Sheng, you didn't join the Martial Soul Hall just for the future Continental Elite Soul Master Competition, did you?"
"Moreover, even with your exceptional talent, it's unlikely that you'd be appointed as the Holy Son immediately upon joining the Martial Soul Hall. Is there some secret?"
Evil Moon's pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly reprimanded, "Flame, how can you ask such a question?"
He didn't expect Flame to dare ask such a question!
This could potentially involve some secrets that they weren't supposed to know!
Hulena, also realizing the severity of the situation, glared at Flame, "Xu Sheng, Flame is talking too much today. Just ignore him!"
Flame was somewhat baffled, not expecting Evil Moon and Hulena to have such strong opinions against him...
"It's just... I was just asking Xu Sheng a question, is it really such a big deal?"
Xu Sheng sighed, "Actually, the reason I joined the Martial Soul Hall was indeed due to a partnership I reached with His Holiness the Pope. I'm sorry for keeping it hidden from you all!"
As these words were spoken, Evil Moon and the others displayed expressions of disbelief, "Cooperate... cooperate??"
Wasn't Xu Sheng a disciple of Your Holiness the Pope?
Why had it suddenly become a cooperation?
Xu Sheng nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I am in a cooperative relationship with the Martial Soul Hall. As for the mentor-disciple relationship with Yu Pope, it's really just nominal!"
Evil Moon pondered, "So that's how it is. No wonder Your Holiness hasn't personally taught you, Xu Sheng. I didn't expect there to be this underlying reason!"
Flame smacked her lips, "No way, Xu Sheng, you can actually cooperate with the Martial Soul Hall? What exactly is your identity?"
Most sects and forces don't even have the qualifications to contact the Martial Soul Hall!
Yet Xu Sheng was able to cooperate with the Martial Soul Hall in his own name; one can only imagine how shocking that was!
Hulena was somewhat moved, "Xu Sheng, thank you for trusting us and telling us these things!"
"But let's leave the matters involving secrets aside!"
Xu Sheng was willing to disclose these things, clearly trusting his companions!
Xu Sheng smiled slightly, "Well... I indeed do not plan to disclose the specifics. If you really want to know, you can go ask Your Holiness the Pope!"
Just then, the Spirit Hall Soldiers who had left earlier also hurriedly returned, carrying money and various items...
They respectfully began, "Your Highness the Holy Son, here are the items you requested. However... Your Holiness said that she needs to check the letter before it is sent out!"
Xu Sheng was not surprised by this and took the items, "Alright, I understand. You may leave now!"
The former naturally did not dare to rebut, "Yes, Your Highness the Holy Son. If there is anything else you need, just command me!"
He then returned to his post…
Hulena propped her chin up, pondering, "Xu Sheng, the person you're replying to, wouldn't it be the same one who sent you that letter last time?"
Xu Sheng did not deny it, "Yes, but this letter contains very important information. Could everyone go over there to cultivate?"
It is better not to tell them about the abyssal creatures and Sea God's Island!
Flame's eyes lit up, showing no intention of leaving...
"Xu Sheng, are we not allowed to see the content inside? That makes me even more curious!"
But before a response came, Flame was forcefully pulled aside by an angry Evil Moon and severely scolded…
Hulena then showed a slightly apologetic expression, "Xu Sheng, go ahead and write. We'll keep an eye on Flame and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble!"
With that, she also walked over to where Evil Moon and the others were…
Watching their actions, Xu Sheng shook his head somewhat helplessly…
Then, he refocused his attention on the letter in front of him, his expression gradually becoming solemn...
"The appearance of abyssal creatures in Sea God's Island and the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Gate could likely be the Abyssal Emperor's first probe."
"Afterward, a fierce attack might be launched; Sea God's Island must prepare in advance!"
After all, for so long, he had not heard any news of the Abyssal Emperor; the secretly nurtured abyssal creatures must have grown to an immense scale...
If each force fought on their own, they would only be defeated one by one!
