Arriving at the Spiritual City

Dear Readers,

I have made some changes to the previous chapter.

First, I changed Elder Lingyuan's name to Elder Li Chanfei, I decided to give her an official name instead of a half-baked solution like in the previous chapter.

Second, the name of the Martial Soul - Fire Kite, she also has this name, but officially her name is Martial Soul - Lingyuan. So both names are correct, it is like Tang Yuehua with two names in the Martial Soul.

I hope you like it.

**Chapter 31: Arriving at Spirit City**

When Li Chanfei heard Gu Ziyi's admission, she immediately asked another crucial question.

"I know, they are from the Haotian Sect!" 

Gu Ziyi didn't hide it and directly said that he knew their identities.

"So you know!" 

"Then why didn't you join the Haotian Sect where they are?"

"With your unique Martial Soul and soul skill, I believe it wouldn't be a problem even if you wanted to join the Haotian Sect."

Li Chanfei didn't expect Gu Ziyi to actually know the identities of the two girls and curiously asked.

"That's different. For sects like the Haotian Sect, only people from their own sect can receive better treatment. As an outsider, it's hard to get special treatment for training."

"But the Martial Soul Hall is different. As long as I show enough value, I'm sure I'll receive corresponding training for my talent!"

Gu Ziyi smiled lightly and answered concisely.

With these words, he also made her understand that he was a smart person.

"So, they don't know the effect of your soul skill, right?"

Sure enough, Gu Ziyi's clear understanding made Li Chanfei look at him with more appreciation.

Ordinary people would probably choose to join the Haotian Sect because of its reputation as the number one sect in the world.

In fact, there are many Soul Masters in the Soul Master world who wish to join the Haotian Sect.

However, although the Haotian Sect also recruits outsiders, the conditions are very strict and rigid.

But Li Chanfei understood very well that, just as Gu Ziyi said, those who joined the Haotian Sect did not receive the attention corresponding to their value.

The Haotian Sect still focuses more on cultivating their own people.

Not only the Haotian Sect but most other sects as well.

Only the Martial Soul Hall is different. As long as one shows enough talent, they can receive the corresponding attention.

"Yes, I've never mentioned it to anyone before entering the Martial Soul Hall."

Gu Ziyi nodded.

"Why didn't you think of joining the Martial Soul Hall earlier?"

Li Chanfei asked Gu Ziyi another question.

"Because I didn't know much when I lived in Liusha City before and still didn't understand much about the power of the Martial Soul Hall!"

"It was only after arriving in Tiandou Imperial Capital that I understood the true situation of the Martial Soul Hall. I also learned that for people like me, who were born as civilians, the Martial Soul Hall is the best choice to join!"

Gu Ziyi's answer was impeccable.

However, he was complaining in his heart. Is it necessary to ask so insistently?

"Smart boy!" 

"Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up!"

Li Chanfei smiled mischievously after hearing him and then didn't ask any more questions, but reminded Gu Ziyi.

*Fwosh—*

Immediately afterward, the Lingyuan (Fire Kite) beneath their feet exploded with even more speed.

A few days later, Gu Ziyi, led by Li Chanfei, arrived at Spirit City, the headquarters of the Martial Soul Hall.

Then, Li Chanfei took him directly to the skies above the Martial Soul Hall and landed on top of the Papal Palace.

"Your Majesty the Pope, I've brought this brat back as you ordered!" 

"If there's nothing else, I'll return to my temple!"

After Li Chanfei brought Gu Ziyi to the Papal Palace, she quickly found Pope Qian Xunji.

Gu Ziyi also saw Qian Xunji, the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, for the first time.

A blonde man with a handsome appearance and an extraordinary temperament, one could feel an invisible pressure just by standing in front of him.

So strong— is this the oppressive feeling brought by a powerful Titled Douluo?

Or is it the pressure of the Pope?

Gu Ziyi was secretly surprised.

The Qian Xunji in front of him was definitely the strongest Soul Master he had ever encountered in his life.

Although Li Chanfei was already a Douluo, the pressure she exerted on him was completely different from Qian Xunji's. His felt like an abyss of difference from hers.

Next to Qian Xunji, there was also a young woman standing silently.

'Bibi Dong?'

Gu Ziyi silently thought to himself but did not pay much attention to her, instead quickly looking at Qian Xunji, "I greet Your Majesty the Pope!"

"Hmm!" 

Qian Xunji hummed lightly and ignored Gu Ziyi for the moment. Instead, he looked at Li Chanfei and asked with a smile, "Don't leave in such a hurry. How's the investigation I asked for? Is this boy clean?"

When Qian Xunji asked Li Chanfei about Gu Ziyi's situation, he had no intention of hiding it from him.

"Everything else is fine, but this boy met two people while at the intermediate Soul Master Academy. Both are from the Haotian Sect!"

In response to Qian Xunji's question, Li Chanfei answered directly.

"People from the Haotian Sect?" 

"Gu Ziyi, since you know people from the Haotian Sect, why didn't you think of joining them?" 

"And do they know the effect of your soul skill?"

Qian Xunji was a little surprised to hear that and then asked Gu Ziyi the same questions Li Chanfei had asked earlier on the journey.

"Your Majesty the Pope…" 

Gu Ziyi had no choice but to repeat what he had said before.

"Hahaha, yes, those sects are all hypocrites and only care about their own sect's disciples. Only our Martial Soul Hall is the most fair!"

After hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Qian Xunji immediately laughed, greatly appreciating his choice.

"That's right, Your Majesty the Pope!" 

"Not long ago, the two brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, appeared in the Soul Beast Forest near the Tianbao Academy. They brought two girls with them. They should be the two classmates of this boy!"

Li Chanfei added more information to Qian Xunji at this moment.

"Oh? What are the names of these two girls?" 

Qian Xunji became even more curious, as the two brothers had also appeared.

"Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu!" 

Li Chanfei said.

"What?" 

"Tang Yuehua?"

"Are you sure one of them is called Tang Yuehua?"

Qian Xunji stood up in surprise upon hearing this.

He knew Tang Yuehua, but how could she have appeared in a common intermediate Soul Master Academy?

"Your Majesty the Pope, is there a problem with her identity?"

Li Chanfei asked curiously.

"She's the biological sister of the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao!"

"I met her a few years ago when her grandfather brought her to our Martial Soul Hall!"

Qian Xunji didn't hide the fact and told Li Chanfei about Tang Yuehua's identity.

As for when Tang Chen brought Tang Yuehua to the Martial Soul Hall, it was naturally to see his father, Qian Daoliu, for help in checking the problem of the girl's inability to cultivate.

Although Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu had been rivals for many years, they also valued each other. They were rivals and friends, though in a rather unusual way.

"Gu Ziyi, did your classmate named Tang Yuehua tell you her identity?"

Qian Xunji still couldn't believe it, so he asked Gu Ziyi once again.

"Yes, the Tang Yuehua I know is the daughter of the leader of the Haotian Sect. The other is Bai Lu, Tang Yuehua's cousin!"

Gu Ziyi didn't expect Qian Xunji to actually know Tang Yuehua's name. After thinking about it, there was no need to hide it, so he directly said it.

"It's really true!"

Qian Xunji still found it a bit unbelievable that the dignified eldest daughter of the Haotian Sect had actually gone to a common Soul Master Academy.

N/E: I hope you liked the changes. I found it much better to identify her this way than before, it seemed very disconnected from the text.
