Chapter 79 The Plans of the Body Sect_1

```

On the other side.

Within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, amidst towering mountains and in places rarely visited by man.

The Body Sect, one of the three great powers alongside Shrek and Mingde Hall, was located here.

"Yu Tao, Lang Ya?"

"You're back, was this trip a smooth one?"

At the gate of the mountain, a disciple guarding the entrance curiously asked the two brothers.

"To say it was smooth, it was smooth; to say it wasn't, it wasn't..." the muscular man Yu Tao said with a complex expression.

Lang Ya, clearly not wanting to waste words, waved his hand impatiently, "This time we brothers encountered many things. It's not something that can be explained in a few words. We must see the Sect Master directly."

"What? See the Sect Master directly?"

After hearing Lang Ya's words, the face of the disciple changed dramatically.

"Stop wasting time. Hurry up and contact your superior. Report the situation." Lang Ya urged.

Seeing the grave expression on Lang Ya's face, the guardian disciple did not dare to hesitate. He said, 'Please wait a moment,' and then hurried off.

When he came back, he was accompanied by a tall, elderly man.

This elder was dressed in a golden robe, exhibiting an aura of natural authority. Lang Ya and Yu Tao glanced at him once and quickly lowered their heads.

Because this elder was no simple matter, he was a level-96 Titled Douluo, with the Martial Soul of the Golden Body, his title: Golden Body. His given name was Jinpeng, known as Elder Jin.

Besides his cultivation level, his standing within the Body Sect was also lofty, positioned as the Vice Sect Master.

"Lang Ya, pays respects to Elder Jin."

"Yu Tao, pays respects to Elder Jin."

Compared to the formal title of Vice Sect Master, Elder Jin had a more personal ring to it.

It is worth mentioning that, because the Sect Master often was in seclusion, almost all matters big and small within the sect were handled by Elder Jin.

Jinpeng nodded his head and said, "You two lads, what's the matter that you can speak of directly now?"

Lang Ya nodded vigorously, "Elder Jin, this time in the outside world, we discovered a remarkable talent."

"How remarkable?"

"His Martial Soul is eyes..."

"That's not too special, is it?" Jinpeng looked at Lang Ya with some astonishment, "In this generation of our sect's younger members, there are those with self martial souls like eyes and brains. An Eye Martial Soul, is it so surprising to you?"

"Of course it's worth mentioning..." Lang Ya nodded like a pecking chicken.

Yu Tao also quickly agreed, "This Eye Martial Soul might be different from others..."

Then he opened up and shared all the information about Qin Xiao.

After listening to Yu Tao's account, everyone was stunned.

"A teenager in his teens with the cultivation level of a Soul Ancestor, and possessing a great talent as a Soul Master, his extraordinariness is evident just from that. Moreover, his Martial Soul has not yet undergone a second awakening. I estimate that his talent, and his second awakening, could very likely be at the Silver Rank..."

"And what a Silver Rank self martial soul represents, I don't have to say much more, do I? I think everyone should be quite clear about that."

"Also, let me add, that young man called Qin Xiao, his Martial Soul's second awakening, starting at Silver, has the potential for Gold."

After finishing, Lang Ya quietly stood in place and said no more.

What needed to be said had been said, how to decide was no longer up to him.

It was clear!

All too clear!

It meant that their Body Sect was going to gain another Titled Douluo level powerhouse.

If, in the future, he could undergo a Gold-level Awakening, then that would mean the future Sect Master's successor.

"Elder Jin, we finally have a promising young talent in our Body Sect; we can't let those outsiders spoil him."

"Please, Elder Jin, make sure to bring back that child who's drifted away."

Lang Ya and Yu Tao, the two brothers, urged in unison.

Jinpeng's face grew solemn as he nodded, "It is known throughout the world that any possessor of a self martial soul is a disciple of our Body Sect. But... that youngster is closely affiliated with the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy, and he has extraordinary talent. I'm afraid the academy will not willingly let him go."

If it were any other power, Jinpeng could have marched right at their doorstep to bring Qin Xiao back to the Body Sect.

But the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy, he needed to weigh his options against it.

The Mingde Hall hidden inside the academy was a superpower on par with their Body Sect.

Yu Tao, unwilling to resign himself to inaction, said, "Are we just going to let such a top-notch talent slip away?"

Elder Jin shot a cold glance at Yu Tao, "What kind of talk is that? Haven't I finished speaking yet? To make a move against the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy, of course, we would need to seek the Sect Master's consent. Moreover, issue a summoning order now for those young ones traveling outside to return."

This... was a rhythm signaling a full mobilization of the sect.

Lang Ya opened his mouth, "Elder Jin, is this necessary?"

Jinpeng slowly shook his head, "Normally, it would not be necessary, the Sect Master alone could bring the child back. But..."

Jinpeng paused for a moment, then continued, "But, not too long ago, someone issued a bounty: anyone who can take a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo from Mingde Hall can earn a reward of one billion golden soul coins."

"That sum, the Sect Master has expressed interest in as well, and has long been planning a surprise strike on Mingde Hall. Now it seems, a surprise attack on Mingde Hall and bringing back Qin Xiao can be conducted simultaneously."

...

On the other side,

After several days of travel, Qin Xiao and the others finally returned to Ming City.

The citizens of Ming City welcomed them with the enthusiasm reserved for heroes.

No.

It cannot merely be said to be akin to that.

By defeating the teams from the Heavenly Soul, Dou Spirit, and Xingluo Empires, and ultimately lifting the victor's trophy, they were heroes.
