Chapter 2580: Warrant Canceled_1

```

Zhen Hua was not annoyed by this but instead skipped over the topic with a relaxed tone...

"Alright, rather than worrying about my disciple, let's discuss something else," he said.

One of the Blacksmith Association members immediately stood up, stating earnestly, "Since the President has put it that way, allow me to express my thoughts first!"

"These days, the Blacksmith Association has sold so many Battle Armors and weapons to the Spirit Pagoda, earning a substantial amount of funds!"

"If we continue, we will earn even more than the total of the past few years, which is also beneficial for future development!"

Another member also stood up and nodded in agreement, "That's right, I also think we should strengthen our cooperation with the Spirit Pagoda. Who knows, it might greatly elevate the status of our Blacksmith Association!"

They expected agreement from everyone, but the reality was the contrary!

Most members were in opposition...

"No, this cooperation with the Spirit Pagoda has already made the Blacksmith Association the focus of every major power's attention. If we continue, who knows what could happen!"

"Exactly, we must prioritize the interests of the Blacksmith Association, not just focus on the immediate benefits while ignoring the future!!"

"Yes, in my opinion, we should immediately end our cooperation with the Spirit Pagoda to avoid attracting trouble!"

In their view, the Spirit Pagoda's sudden purchase of such a large quantity of Battle Armors and weapons surely had a purpose!

The result was obvious, with differing opinions leading to a fierce argument...

After some time, someone unable to bear it anymore shouted, "Everyone be quiet! Arguing is useless, let's hear the President's opinion!"

At these words, all eyes turned towards Zhen Hua, who had remained silent...

He glanced at them and said softly, "My opinion? It's to stop cooperating with the Spirit Pagoda."

"But why, President? By doing so, it's like cutting off the financial path of our Blacksmith Association!"

"Yes, President, you are also aware of the state of the Blacksmith Association these past few years. If we don't make an effort now, it might cease to exist in a few years!"

"Other major powers, whether it is their technological level or the number of Soul Masters, are not something our Blacksmith Association can compete with. We should take this opportunity to accelerate our development!!"

Seeing a chance for the Blacksmith Association to return to its peak, how could they give up easily!

Zhen Hua, seeing this, clasped his ten fingers together, speaking very seriously, "In not much time, you will understand. But for now, put away your thoughts!"

His unusual decision to let the Blacksmith Association work with the Spirit Pagoda was entirely for the sake of Gu Yuena being his disciple...

But now, there was no reason anymore...

...

Tiandou Empire!

Imperial palace!

Hearing the news, Xue Qinghe turned to Xu Sheng and said, "Xu Sheng, the Martial Soul Hall has called off your wanted status; now, you don't have to worry about being assassinated!"

She hadn't expected her grandfather to personally issue such an order!

The unperturbed Xu Sheng, who had anticipated this, replied composedly, "Thank you, Crown Prince."

Beside him, the Serpent Spear Douluo with his arms folded and a displeased face, coldly snapped, "Drop it, you clearly know she's the Holy Daughter and yet you still address her as Crown Prince."

The Porcupine Douluo added, "Kid, although we've agreed to cooperate with you, isn't it time you shared some useful information with us?"

All this time, they had been helping Xu Sheng, but they had yet to hear anything useful from his side!

This was hardly cooperation!

```

Xue Qinghe also blinked, "That's right, Xu Sheng, since you come from the future, you should know some more secretive things, right!"

She hadn't fully believed that Xu Sheng came from the future!

After pondering for a moment, Xu Sheng felt it was time to show some sincerity...

He immediately said, "Well then, let me talk about Hao Tian Douluo, once famous throughout the Continent!"

Upon hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo's complexion changed drastically as he exclaimed, "Hao Tian Douluo... Tang Hao?? The murderer who killed the previous Pope!"

Porcupine Douluo swallowed hard, "Didn't he already die at the hands of the Martial Soul Hall? Could it be that he's still alive??"

It was the information about her father's arch-enemy that caused Xue Qinghe's Spirit Skull to keep flashing with purple light, seemingly affected by her emotions...

Xu Sheng glanced at her and continued, "That's right, Tang Hao didn't die. Instead, he secluded himself in a village called Holy Soul Village, and he even had a child, named Tang San!"

The killing intent in Porcupine Douluo's eyes flared, "Holy Soul Village, you say?? I'll immediately notify the Grand Elder, and have the Soul Masters of the Martial Soul Hall go and exterminate it!!"

Xu Sheng, however, interrupted first, "It's no use, by the time I came here, Holy Soul Village had already been destroyed by the assault of the Martial Soul Hall, turned into ruins!"

"As for Tang Hao and Tang San, their fates are probably unknown!"

Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't help but roar in anger, "Then why the hell are you telling us all this? Are you playing with us?"

The already destroyed Holy Soul Village, how can one verify whether his words are true or false!

Xu Sheng spoke in a calm and unhurried manner, "Elder Serpent Spear, there's no need to be so angry. Think about it, if I were to reveal things that haven't happened yet, wouldn't the actions of the Martial Soul Hall cause everything to change?"

Serpent Spear Douluo was stunned and after careful consideration, he realized that there was indeed some logic to it...

Xue Qinghe, however, spoke with a chill of piercing cold, "Xu Sheng, I will send someone to discern the truth from the lies regarding what you just said!"

"Apart from this, do you have no other information to tell?"

Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "Of course, there is. It's about Emperor Xue Ye's second child!"

Xue Qinghe raised an eyebrow, "You mean... Xue Beng?"

He had come into contact with this "younger brother" of his, who was exceedingly average in every aspect, even lacking presence within the royal family, completely negligible!

Xu Sheng affirmed, "That's right, everything that Xue Beng has shown is actually deliberate, the purpose being to prevent himself from being killed in the cradle!"

Xue Qinghe's expression became grave...

If what Xu Sheng was saying was true, then this "younger brother" of hers was exceptionally well-hidden, even imperceptible to her!

In the future, he could become a potential issue for the plan!!

With this in mind, she glanced sideways at Porcupine Douluo and ordered, "Porcupine Douluo, I need you to secretly investigate Xue Beng tomorrow!"

"If he poses a threat to me, then let's nip it in the bud..."

Yet Xu Sheng unexpectedly said, "Crown Prince... Ren Xue, I advise you not to do so, despite Xue Beng's average performance in all respects, he is still a Prince after all!"

"He will surely attract Emperor Xue Ye's prioritized attention, and who knows how many Soul Masters have been placed in the shadows to protect him!"

He certainly didn't want Xue Beng to lose his life because of a word he said!
