Chapter 2924: Facing _1

Hulena showed a disappointed expression, "How could this happen..."

Evil Moon patted her shoulder, comforting her, "Nana, let's listen to Xu Sheng for now, stay in the Pope Hall for the time being, and wait for His Holiness and the others to return. It's not too late to do what you want then!"

Hulena had no choice but to give up, "That's all we can do now, I just hope it's not anything serious."

At this moment, Flame was biting her lip tightly, obviously disappointed that her fantasy had shattered once again...

Xu Sheng wanted to say something more, but his dark pupils suddenly condensed...

He said in surprise, "Hmm? A very familiar aura seems to have appeared within Martial Soul City?"

Although it was very familiar, it was not sufficient to determine the identity of the person...

Seeing him stare blankly, Evil Moon couldn't help but ask, "Xu Sheng, what's wrong with you? Why do you have that look on your face?"

Xu Sheng didn't hide anything and casually replied, "It's nothing, I just sensed a familiar aura!"

Flame, as if she had found an opportunity for revenge, sneered, "A familiar aura? Surely it's not another girl from that power coming to find you, is it?"

"In that case, won't our Pope Hall be thrown into chaos once again?"

Hulena immediately became dissatisfied and scolded, "Flame, what are you talking about!"

She certainly did not want another girl coming to find Xu Sheng; the more there were, the stronger her sense of crisis would become...

Evil Moon's expression also became much colder, "Flame, stop making such jokes, have you forgotten how Nana was once attacked by Sword Douluo?"

"If it hadn't been for Xu Sheng blocking it in time, she might have been in mortal danger!"

Upon hearing this, Flame suddenly felt somewhat guilty...

"Well... I was just teasing, it shouldn't happen again."

Xu Sheng promptly interjected, "Evil Moon, actually, when Sword Douluo made a move on Nana, he probably didn't really intend to hurt her."

"Rather, he wanted to force me to act, to test my true strength!"

At that time, Sword Douluo was still unable to determine whether I truly possessed Title Douluo level strength!

He also knew that it was not permitted for anyone to make a move within Pope Hall, so he turned his attention to Hulena...

Hulena and the others were stunned for a moment, then showed a look of sudden realization...

Evil Moon couldn't help but prop up his chin, "So... that's why Sword Douluo didn't attack me or Flame, but chose Nana!!"

Flame said viciously, "Damn it, Sword Douluo is really cunning, to force Xu Sheng to act, he actually stoops to any means. When our Spirit Hall becomes stronger in the future, we must eradicate the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!!"

This statement startled the former, who quickly reminded, "Keep that talk between us, make sure no one with ulterior motives hears it!"

Hulena nodded in agreement, "Yeah, no matter how you slice it, the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect is one of the upper three families, with a very substantial foundation, not something that can be easily eradicated!"

"However, I feel that Xu Sheng will certainly be able to..."

It was at that moment she realized that Xu Sheng, who had just been talking, had already disappeared...

Without leaving behind the slightest trace of his aura...

She said blankly, "Xu Sheng, he left? Why didn't he say anything?"

Evil Moon looked towards the sky, speaking gravely, "Perhaps Xu Sheng sensed something, with his Title Douluo level spiritual power, he should be able to cover the entire Martial Soul City!!"

In a hurry, Flame said, "Then we... forget it, let's just stay in Pope Hall obediently. Even if we caught up to him, with our strength, we wouldn't be able to do much!"

We might even become a burden!!

...

On the other hand, Prince Xue Xing, who had finished attending the auction, was filled with a joyous smile, clearly having made a worthwhile haul...

He exclaimed, "Indeed, attending the auction in Martial Soul City was the right choice. I didn't expect there to be so many rare resources. This trip was not in vain."

Du Gu Bo, standing beside with hands behind his back, did not object but rather agreed, "Prince Xue Xing is correct, this time there truly were many excellent auction items."

Then, turning to his granddaughter, he asked, "Yan Zi, you feel the same way, don't you?"

Dugu Yan softly said, "Hmm, I didn't expect this auction to be so entertaining, Grandpa, let's come again when we have time, shall we?"

Naturally, Du Gu Bo agreed, "Sure, as long as you're interested, Yan Zi, we can come anytime."

Of course, not to the auction house in Martial Soul City!

This time it was because they were accompanied by Prince Xue Xing, who was of a special status; if they had come alone...

Fearfully, the Spirit Hall soldiers would do anything to stop them!!

Dugu Yan's face lit up with joy, and she immediately hugged the other's arm, "I knew Grandpa was the best to me!"

Upon seeing this scene, Xue Xing pursed his lips and said, "The relationship between Poison Douluo and your granddaughter really is quite good!"

When comparing her to Xue Beng, that child, it couldn't help but seem too pitiful!

However, if he were to give him the items bought at this auction, he should be quite happy, right!

After all, this time, he had spent a fortune to buy soul bones and other rare auction items!!

At that moment, Du Gu Bo suddenly sensed hundreds, if not thousands, of Soul Power auras emerging around them...

His face turned serious in an instant, "Prince Xue Xing, Yan Zi, be careful and try to stay as close to me as possible."

"There's a large number of Soul Masters approaching us!!"

Damn, he should have used his spiritual power perception beforehand!

No sooner had he spoken than Xue Xing and Dugu Yan instinctively moved closer to Du Gu Bo...

The former couldn't help but ask, "Poison Douluo, what exactly is happening??"

Du Gu Bo took a deep breath, "I'm not sure, but one thing is certain, something is about to happen!"

According to his guess, the only force within Martial Soul City that could have so many Soul Masters was most likely the Spirit Hall!!

Moreover, Yueguan, who had been keeping an eye on him, had also disappeared!

As expected, it wasn't long before...

Bi Bidong, leading Yueguan and Gui Mei, came walking towards them...

Behind them, there followed a huge group of Spirit Hall soldiers...

The might they exuded was truly frightening!!

Upon recognizing Bi Bidong at the forefront, Du Gu Bo's eyes narrowed as he thought to himself, "Bi Bidong..."

Such a grand display, could it be that they're planning to make a move??

If it were just him, he would have no fear, but with his granddaughter here as well, he had to be extremely cautious!

When the distance was just a few meters, Bi Bidong stopped and said with a faint smile, "To what do we owe the honor of Prince Xue Xing's visit? Why not forewarn us so we could have extended the hospitality of the Spirit Hall!!!"

Xue Xing stepped forward, his tone unchanged, "Your Holiness the Pope, is this 'hospitality' from all the Spirit Hall soldiers here? Isn't it a bit too extravagant?"

Clearly, in his previous visits to Martial Soul City, none of this had ever happened!

But today, Her Holiness the Pope herself deigned to come all the way out here!!

It was just too strange!

Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong glanced back at the Spirit Hall soldiers...

They immediately understood and voluntarily retreated several dozen meters...

Only then did Bi Bidong continue, "Prince Xue Xing, are you satisfied now?"
