Chapter 2715: Return to the Imperial Palace_1

Facing Xu Sheng's utterly serious gaze, Serpent Spear Douluo also realized that his previous thoughts were too naive...

How could someone capable of traveling back from the future be a simple character!

Once he grew, he would certainly pose a threat to the entire Continent, and naturally, Martial Soul Hall would be affected!

After taking a deep breath, he warned, "So what do you plan to do next? Even the goddess can't help you!"

Due to the vast area, it was impossible to search these mountain ranges using Xue Ye like this time!

Xu Sheng shrugged, "I haven't thought of a good plan yet, for now, let's go back to the Tiandou Empire Palace!"

If things really developed in a bad direction, then he might have to go to that place...

Perhaps he could get some assistance there!

Serpent Spear Douluo felt like he was played, reproaching angrily, "What? You've piqued my interest, and now you say you haven't thought it through?!"

He had finally resonated with the seriousness of the matter, only to receive such a flippant answer from the other party!

Xu Sheng was silent for a few seconds, then calmly said, "With my current strength, I truly can't do much!"

If his entire strength was at its peak, then no matter where the Abyssal Emperor fled, he would be able to find the latter instantly through spiritual power!

Serpent Spear Douluo propped his chin, "With your current strength? Does that mean if you were in your prime, you could slay that so-called Abyssal Emperor?"

Xu Sheng affirmed this, "That's right!"

The power of the Abyssal Emperor was stronger than that of an ordinary Divine King, but it was far inferior to his own...

After all, having fused Life Force and Destruction Force, he was almost an immortal being!

The former, as if seeing hope, urged earnestly, "Then how can you recover to your prime? If it's about soul bones or Soul Rings, Martial Soul Hall can assist you!!"

Xu Sheng gave a wry smile, "If it were that simple to recover my strength, why would I be wanted by Martial Soul Hall?"

"Let's go. Staying here any longer is just a waste of time. We'll discuss further after returning to the palace!"

Serpent Spear Douluo gave up on further questioning and nodded, "Hmm, that's the only option."

In a brief conversation, he extracted another piece of news!

That is, the Xu Sheng before him might potentially become a God in the Upper Realm in the future!

Otherwise, how could he possibly be hunting the terrifyingly powerful Abyssal Emperor!

...

The next day!

Xu Sheng finally returned to the Tiandou Empire Palace, while Serpent Spear Douluo was on his way to report to Martial Soul Hall...

Hearing this news, Qing He came to the exterior of the palace with an agitated heart to welcome...

Upon seeing the other party, he joyfully said, "Xu Sheng, you haven't..."

But the next second, he noticed the soldiers around him responsible for guard duty...

After calming down his emotions, he said softly, "Xu Sheng, welcome back to the Tiandou Empire Palace!"

Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Thank you, Crown Prince!"

Then Qing He continued, "Since you're back, come in with me. There are matters that require your attention!"

Xu Sheng did not argue, "Yes."

Following that, the two entered the palace...

Only after their figures disappeared did the guards look at each other perplexed...

"Who exactly is this young man? To warrant the Crown Prince to personally welcome him!"

"Hmm, and he seems very happy about his arrival, I'm afraid their relationship is not ordinary!"

"Well, needless to say, I have personally seen the Crown Prince and that boy chatting like friends; perhaps in the former's eyes, he's more than just a servant!"

"Humph, that boy doesn't seem to have any redeeming features, apart from being a bit handsome. Could it be that the Crown Prince actually likes men!"

"Shut up! Do you want to lose your head if word of this gets out?"

As these words fell, the soldiers swallowed hard and stopped discussing the matter...

Upon returning to the palace, Xue Qinghe immediately dispelled his illusion and confronted Xu Sheng as Qian Renxue...

With confusion on her face, she said, "Xu Sheng, I had the Serpent Spear Douluo go to Shrek Academy to notify you. Could it be he didn't go?"

Since she didn't see the Serpent Spear Douluo, she doubted whether he had followed her command!

Xu Sheng explained, "No, the Serpent Spear Douluo did notify me."

Qian Renxue's lovely brows furrowed slightly, "Then why didn't he come back with you? Nothing has happened to him, has it?"

No matter what, the Serpent Spear Douluo had always diligently protected her, and she couldn't help but worry...

Xu Sheng offered a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, he's fine. He just returned to the Worship Hall ahead of time!"

Qian Renxue finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly, "I see, that's good..."

Following that, her amber eyes shimmered, "So, that means you've been there already, haven't you?"

Xu Sheng's expression grew more solemn, "Yes, I can confirm, the guy I'm looking for has been hiding in the mountains all along. Unfortunately, he left ahead of time!"

Qian Renxue felt regretful, "He left? Does that mean all our efforts were in vain?"

Xu Sheng disagreed, "No, it wasn't in vain, we at least know he is still within the Tiandou Empire!"

Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "Then... do you need me to continue using Xue Ye to search within the Tiandou Empire?"

Although it would be quite difficult, it was not impossible if they tried!

He warmed Xu Sheng's heart with her words, and he reached out to rub her head gently, saying in a warm tone, "Ren Xue, it's impossible to find him with just these soldiers in such a vast Tiandou Empire,"

"Not to mention, it might arouse Xue Ye's suspicions."

Qian Renxue instinctively wanted to push him away, but found that she didn't dislike this feeling. She slightly bowed her head, her cheeks flushing...

What's wrong with me? Whenever it comes to Xu Sheng, I lose my usual rationality...

But the comforting sensation didn't last long before Xu Sheng withdrew his hand...

"So, Ren Xue, just continue doing your own thing here at the Tiandou Empire Palace," he said.

Qian Renxue felt a touch of disappointment, though she didn't show it...

She whispered softly, "But... how will you find that person on your own?"

Even though the former was a Titled Douluo, finding the target within such a vast expanse like the Tiandou Empire was as difficult as reaching the heavens!

Xu Sheng provided no specific answer, "I have my ways; besides, staying at the Tiandou Empire Palace is too restrictive"

Qian Renxue looked directly at him for a few seconds before biting her thin lips, saying, "I suppose I can't stop you from leaving, can I?"

In the time they had known each other, although never explicitly stated, she had come to see him as her only friend!

But now, she was to remain alone in the Tiandou Empire Palace.

This couldn't help but cause a feeling of melancholic sorrow...
