Chapter 2920: Purpose_1

At the same time, Yueguan, who was not far away and watching Prince Xue Xing and his entourage, frowned and said, "Judging by Prince Xue Xing's entourage, could it be that he is heading to the auction house??"

In truth, it was hard to believe that a prince, accompanied by bodyguards of Titled Douluo Level, would make a special trip from the Tiandou Empire Palace to Martial Soul City to attend an auction.

Therefore, he decided to continue his surreptitious surveillance...

Sure enough, Dugu Bo, who had been silent and following beside Xue Xing, couldn't help but open his mouth to inquire, "Prince Xue Xing, didn't you have important matters in Martial Soul City? Why have you come to the entrance of the auction house?"

He completely failed to comprehend the other party's purpose in coming to Martial Soul City!

Hearing this, Xue Xing arched his eyebrows and replied, "Important matters? The 'important matter' I mentioned is to take a stroll through the auction house in Martial Soul City!"

The corner of Dugu Bo's mouth involuntarily twitched, "If Prince Xue Xing wishes to auction something, couldn't that be done near the imperial palace??"

To make him accompany for such a trivial matter seemed like overkill!

Xue Xing gave a solemn explanation, "Poison Douluo may not know, but although there are auction houses near the imperial palace, the good items you can get there are far too few!"

"That's why I have come specially to Martial Soul City!"

Dugu Bo pursed his lips, "In that case, you could easily send someone else to do the bidding and save time!"

Who knew that the former would shake his head with a firm tone, "No, the items I wish to auction off are not something I can entrust to servants!"

Dugu Bo looked puzzled and was ready to ask more questions when Xue Xing preempted him with an explanation, "To be frank with you, Poison Douluo, what I want to auction off is actually a soul bone!"

Dugu Bo exclaimed in shock, "Soul bone? Prince Xue Xing, could it be that you require it yourself??"

The latter's soul power rank was fixed, and no further cultivation could advance it, so even if he were to absorb a soul bone, the effect would be minuscule...

Xue Xing's eyes deepened, "No... I am doing this for Xue Beng, that child!"

As a prince of the Tiandou Empire, he was very clear about one thing: Xue Ye had reserved the best resources for Xue Qinghe!

As for Xue Beng, he had not even fulfilled the duties a father should perform!

For that reason, he wanted to help him as much as possible!

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment and then reminded him, "Prince Xue Xing, forgive my bluntness, but even though Xue Beng is also a prince, his talents are very limited. Investing in him might not yield any returns!"

Compared to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Xue Beng was far too inferior!

Xue Xing instinctively wanted to say something but swallowed it back...

"Just consider it a whim of mine, Poison Douluo. After all, everyone in the royal household knows that I find Crown Prince Xue Qinghe quite distasteful!"

He did not wish to reveal that Xue Beng's display of dullness was an intentional guise!

Dugu Bo propped up his chin, as if contemplating the truth of that statement...

At that moment, Dugu Yan tugged at his sleeve and reminded, "Grandfather, Prince Xue Xing, may we enter the auction house now? If we're late, the good items might all be auctioned off!"

Xue Xing, ready to end the conversation, naturally responded with a smile, "Yes, you make a good point; I wouldn't want the good items to be snapped up by others!"

With that, he didn't wait for a reply and turned to enter the auction...

Seeing this, Dugu Yan blinked her beautiful eyes and urged again, "Grandfather, let's go in too!"

Finding Xu Sheng was certainly important, but she was also very interested in the auction house!

Dugu Bo came back to his senses and waved his hand, "Yan Zi, you go ahead. Grandfather will follow shortly!"

Although unsure why, Dugu Yan nodded knowingly and quickly followed...

Once he was left alone, Dugu Bo finally spoke up coldly, "After watching for so long, aren't you going to come out and get some fresh air?"

Without any hesitation, Yueguan immediately appeared within sight...

He stated expressionlessly, "To think you could detect my presence, old poison, you've improved."

Du Gu Bo sneered, "Hmph, not even concealing your breath, it must be on purpose to remind me you're nearby, right?"

Though he was a Titled Douluo, his spiritual power was not particularly strong; sensing the other party was mostly due to the other deliberately emanating his presence!

Yueguan did not feel that what he did was in any way improper, calmly replied, "Of course, you are the Poison Douluo. If you really did something in Martial Soul City, it would bring about enormous losses!"

"I naturally have to remind you!!"

Du Gu Bo had not expected such a straightforward response, "Can I take that as a compliment?"

Yueguan would never admit it and said irritably, "Interpret it however you want, but as long as you stay in Martial Soul City, I will always be watching you!!"

Upon hearing this, Du Gu Bo once again emphasized, "I already made it very clear to you before, my entry into Martial Soul City is purely to protect Prince Xue Xing and not intended to harm Martial Soul City!"

Yueguan absolutely didn't believe this, "Old poison, how credible are your words, do you think I don't know you?"

It was precisely because he knew the other party's character all too well that he was incredibly worried he might take actions against Martial Soul City!

Du Gu Bo didn't want to continue explaining and waved his hand saying, "If you don't believe me, so be it. If you want to keep watch, then keep watching."

"However, I warn you, no – I should warn Martial Soul City, if anyone dares to lay a finger on my granddaughter, the whole Martial Soul City will pay with its demise!!"

Dugu Yan was his everything, and that had never changed!

And so, under Yueguan's cold watch, he entered the auction house…

His heart also faintly felt that the other party's words did not seem to be lies…

"Could it be that the old poison really has no other motives, and is purely here to protect Prince Xue Xing?"

No, can't be careless, perhaps this is just his excuse!!

…

In a place far from Martial Soul City…

The Abyssal Emperor, holding the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss halberd, suddenly opened his purple-black eyes…

He voiced his confusion, "What's going on? The Heaven Saint Crack Abyss halberd is sending out intense fluctuations."

"Wait, could it be that an abyssal creature has fallen?"

He had once used the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss halberd to strengthen other abyssal creatures, and also planted a breath within them…

Whenever they fell, he would receive a message!

With that thought, the Abyssal Emperor channeled his power into the super divine weapon…

In an instant, his spiritual power experienced a qualitative leap…

He detected towards the location where the abyssal creature had fallen…

Finally, it pinpointed Martial Soul City!!

In a flash, intense rage surged in his heart…

"These two useless beings, actually went to Martial Soul City on their own accord, do they want to die that badly??"

It annoyed him that he had wasted a super divine weapon to strengthen them for nothing!!!!
