Chapter 21: Chapter 21
In the Soul Arena of Soto City...
Frander, dragging his weary body, exerted his soul power to attack his opponent.
With this final duel, he would finally be free. The burden of owing Ye Chen 70,000 gold soul coins had tormented him for months. But thankfully, he was about to clear his debt.
"Boom!"
He unleashed his seventh soul skill with all his might, and his opponent on the stage finally couldn't hold on any longer, fainting to the ground.
After the referee announced Frander's victory, he lay on the ground like a relieved man. These days of repaying his debt had exhausted him, and now he just wanted to go home and get a good night's sleep.
Stretching his body, Frander walked towards Shrek Academy with his prize money. Along the way, he encountered people he wouldn't usually meet. They all seemed to be heading in the same direction towards the path to Shrek Academy, making it busier than usual.
"Wait, aren't these people from the surrounding villages? Their way home isn't this way."
Seeing more and more people around him, Frander suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. He didn't have time to be tired anymore. Spreading his martial soul wings, he flew quickly towards Shrek Academy.
Before he even got close, he saw thick smoke rising above the academy, as if it were on fire.
"Could something have really happened?"
Frander accelerated his speed, and finally arrived over the academy after a few minutes.
But soon, his face became even more grim. All the buildings in Shrek were destroyed and burning, as if they had been through a great battle.
On the grassy square, three men dressed in Soul Hall robes surrounded all the people inside the academy. Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, and other teachers stood in front of the students, facing them.
Frander landed next to Zhao Wuji, his face grim. "Why have the representatives of the Soul Hall invaded Shrek Academy without reason? If you don't give a reasonable answer today, I will report it tomorrow and have the Star Dou Empire intervene."
"Dean, these people are here for no good. They infiltrated the male dormitory and tried to abduct Ye Chen. If Dai Mubai hadn't discovered it early, Ye Chen might have been harmed by now!"
Zhao Wuji whispered softly, revealing his guesses one by one.
At this moment, the bald-headed leader of the Soul Hall took off his wide hat and pointed at Ye Chen. "We only want him. If you hand over this person, you can avoid trouble. Otherwise, Shrek Academy will no longer exist."
As he spoke, his soul power surged out, and the majestic soul power made it clear to everyone that he was a Soul Douluo above level 80. Behind him, the soul power of the other two was equally eerie, strong and unyielding.
Seeing this scene, Frander couldn't help but exclaim to himself, "Three Soul Douluos, why are they looking for this kid?"
Turning his head to look at the calmly composed Ye Chen, Frander had many questions in his mind. Then, he tentatively replied, "Do you know who this kid's master is? He's a senior from the Ning Family who wields a sword. Even if you people from the Soul Hall want to cause trouble, you should consider it carefully."
At his words, the bald-headed man took out an exquisite token and said coldly, "By the personal decree of His Holiness, regardless of this kid's background, he must come with us today."
"You!"
Frander's face showed a hint of solemnity. The personal decree of the Pope of the Soul Hall was not something he, a Soul Saint, could contend with. In front of three Soul Douluos, even if he risked his life, it would be useless.
"Don't worry, Dean, I'll go with them."
Ye Chen broke free from Zhao Wuji's big hand and walked out. Facing the three representatives of the Soul Hall, he said, "Let's go."
The Suyun Tao incident finally erupted. Ye Chen knew that he couldn't escape today. After hiding for so many years, his Fallen Angel martial soul could not escape the tracking of the Soul Hall.
"Brother Ye Chen!" "Ye Chen!"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing wanted to rush over to protect Ye Chen, but they were firmly held back by Frander and others. Everyone knew that acting impulsively now would be meaningless. Getting into a fight would only lead to death.
"Don't worry, Rongrong, Zhuqing. The Pope just wants to have a chat with me. We'll see each other again soon."
Waving his hand, Ye Chen's voice hadn't even reached them before he was lifted up by the three Soul Douluos and disappeared into Shrek Academy.
"Brother Ye Chen!" "Ye Chen!"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were in tears. They regretted not being strong enough to protect their beloved. If time could be turned back, they vowed to use all available time to cultivate and make themselves strong enough.
Even though they knew that even so, they couldn't stop today's situation, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing still felt the same way in their hearts.
"Don't be discouraged, everyone. With our current strength, we can't save Ye Chen. Only by working harder to cultivate can we possibly shake the Soul Hall's tree."
Tang San was very rational. He knew the strength of the Soul Hall, and at the same time, he knew that feeling discouraged and despondent was useless.
It must be said that his words made most of the people in Shrek understand the situation. They all began to train hard, hoping to rescue Ye Chen or avenge him in the future.
Inside the headquarters of the Soul Hall, in the Pope's Hall...
In the grand and magnificent hall, Ye Chen stood alone in the center, bound by specially made iron chains, his entire body devoid of usable soul power.
In front of Ye Chen, there was an exceptionally tall and magnificent throne, made entirely of gold and various colored crystals, giving it a very Western feel.
On the throne sat a woman. She was not tall, dressed in a luxurious black robe with golden patterns, wearing a nine-curve purple gold crown on her head, and holding a scepter embedded with countless gems.
With fair skin and an almost perfect face, she looked so different.
Especially the noble and sacred aura emanating from her made people unable to help but feel a sense of reverence and worship.
When Ye Chen finally saw the woman's face, he found her stunningly beautiful. Noble, elegant, serene... various beautiful words seemed to be able to be used on this woman.
Although she was no longer young, there seemed to be no trace of time on her.
Just as Ye Chen was guessing the purpose of the woman's abduction, the voice of the system suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Goddess check-in task released, target: Bibi Dong, task content: take a picture of the target's buttocks or touch her head to complete the task.]
"Damn it, system, don't you know that you can't touch a tiger's butt? Are you trying to get me killed?"
As for touching her head? I'm afraid that even before my hand reaches out, it will
be obliterated by the scepter in this woman's hand.
Swallowing nervously, although he knew the task was too risky, Ye Chen felt it was better than having his fate in someone else's hands.
What if he completed the check-in task? Even if this woman in front of him was ferocious, she wouldn't harm him. She might even be completely obedient to him.
Thinking that this incredibly perfect woman would fall in love with him, Ye Chen's heart couldn't help but beat faster, with a mixture of excitement and complexity.
