If Seventh Elder returns to the Hao Tian Clan, there might be unexpected gains.
"Have Seventh Brother go back?"
The third elder was taken aback, this outcome was beyond his expectations.
Subconsciously, he looked toward the seventh elder and asked in a low voice, "Seventh Brother, are you willing?"
"I'm willing." The seventh elder had already stood up, slapping his chest to assure, "Third Brother, you just relax. I will definitely persuade Second Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, and the others. That troublemaker Tang Hao, I can certainly take him down."
Third Elder: "wow~⊙o⊙."
He was at a loss for words.
"What, you're not willing?"
Just then, Qin Xiao's voice rang out between the two brothers.
What am I supposed to say to this... The third elder felt a wave of complexity in his heart.
In fact, he was very reluctant, after all, who would want to leave their fate in the hands of someone else?
"Kid, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"The bond between us brothers, how can you stir trouble with just a few words?"
"I believe third brother truly wants me to go, deep down."
As the seventh elder spoke, he even looked toward the third elder and asked, "I'm right, aren't I, Third Brother?"
To hell with you and your grandmother's claws!
The third elder cursed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged as he nodded slightly.
"See, kid?"
"This is the bond of brotherhood. Kid, I warn you, if third brother loses a single hair, your conditions will never be met."
The seventh elder didn't forget to warn Qin Xiao.
Meanwhile, the third elder's heart skipped a beat at the sound, I beg you, just shut up and get out of here.
If this kid gets angry, I'm the one who's going to suffer.
"Third Brother, take care, I'm off!"
After saying that, the seventh elder bent down, exerting force, and then soared into the air.
He flew in the direction of the Hao Tian Clan.
Qin Xiao withdrew his gaze and then walked step by step toward the third elder.
"You, what are you going to do?"
The third elder panicked, Qin Xiao's actions gave him a bad feeling.
"You, a Titled Douluo Level powerhouse, are rarely matched; only by sealing your cultivation level can I feel at ease," Qin Xiao reassured, "Don't resist, it won't hurt."
Seal soul power?
Then won't I just become an ordinary person?
The third elder instinctively resisted.
"Are you sure you don't want me to seal your soul power?" Qin Xiao asked again, frowning.
"I... I didn't say I wasn't willing...." The third elder said with a downcast face, "Can you remove the knife from my neck now?"
Qin Xiao smiled brilliantly, showing a set of white teeth, "Wouldn't it be nice if you cooperated like this earlier?"
The third elder closed his eyes in despair, thinking it's no use resisting, I might as well let it be.
Moments later.
A rapid succession of footsteps was heard.
Qin Xiao looked back and saw Flander, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and others approaching quickly.
"Hey, where's the other guy? Why is there only one left?"
As they came closer, Liu Erlong noticed someone was missing.
"He has just returned to the Hao Tian Clan," Qin Xiao knew she was referring to the seventh elder and replied indifferently.
"What are you all planning to do?" Qin Xiao asked, puzzled.
Flander said, "We noticed there was no soul power fluctuation at all, so we figured the talk was over and came to see if there was anything we could help you with."
In reality, he wanted to ask Qin Xiao if there was anything within his power he could do, like digging a hole to bury someone...
"And him?" Flander turned to the third elder and asked.
However, the sharp look in his eyes did not escape the third elder's notice.
"This mere Soul Sage actually harbors killing intent toward me?"
The third elder was startled, how could he dare?
He still remembered how meekly Flander had behaved in front of him at the gates of Shrek Academy.
Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "He is now just a prisoner at my feet, don't worry too much, I still have use for him."
There was no need to burn bridges with the Hao Tian Clan just yet, he thought there was no need to play his cards so soon.
"I have to step out for a bit; you all go back to your business."
Qin Xiao waved his hand, then grabbed the third elder by the collar, took to the sky, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
A few moments later, the sound of sonic booms reached them.
"Old Master Fu, are there any matters you're still keeping from me, What kind of strength does His Highness have, exactly?"
"How can that be an Elder of the Hao Tian Clan, the owner of the Hao Tian Hammer Martial Soul, just be carried away like a little chick by His Highness?"
Liu Er Long widened her eyes, incredulous.
She had always imagined Titled Douluos as unimaginably powerful peaks. She had never thought they would see such a lowly day.
"Er Long, you haven't known His Highness for long, and your understanding of him is just the tip of the iceberg. But I can tell you very responsibly that it's good for you to prepare mentally for more," Flander said in a grave and earnest tone.
He didn't know that if Liu Erlong were to learn that even the mighty Haotian Sect Master, Tang Xiao, had been slain by Qin Xiao, how shocked would she be?
...
"Uncle Wang, good news!"
"News of the greatest importance!"
"Clang!"
Inside the Prince's Mansion, Avalanche pushed open the door and laughed loudly to the room's occupant, Xue Xing.
Crack.
Xue Xing jumped, spilling the exquisite teacup in his hand onto the floor.
Damn it!
That's another thousand golden soul coins gone!
He was stunned for a second, then, with a dark expression on his face, he turned to Avalanche, "You tell me, what happened. If I don't find it amusing, don't blame me for being ruthless."
He spoke coldly.
"Uncle, don't be angry, I assure you, you'll be very happy with today's news," Avalanche placated.
"What exactly is the matter!"
Xue Xing's voice squeezed from between clenched teeth.
"Uncle, people from the Hao Tian Clan are here!"
"The Hao Tian Clan!"
Indeed, upon hearing this, Xue Xing's eyes widened, and then he burst into laughter, "Hahaha, good, very good indeed. It seems our speculation was correct, the Hao Tian Clan really does place great importance on the Clan of Strength," he said.
"Uncle, your foresight is divine, everything is under control," Avalanche quickly showered Prince Xue Xing with flattery.
But then, he quickly noticed that Prince Xue Xing furrowed his brow again, "Uncle, what's wrong now?"
"Qin Xiao is at the level of a Titled Douluo, even Du Gu Bo fears him. If only one strong person came from the Hao Tian Clan, it would be difficult to capture him," Xue Xing voiced his worry, "If we let Qin Xiao escape this time, it will be harder to act against him in the future... If you don't remove the roots, the spring breeze will bring them back to life. Considering his age, he will definitely be a huge threat in the future..."
"Is that the issue?"
"Isn't that an issue?"
"Of course, it is!"
Avalanche laughed, "Hahaha, Uncle, you can rest easy now. My men spotted outside that not just one but two Titled Douluo Level fighters have come from the Hao Tian Clan. Qin Xiao is as good as dead!"
Phew...
Xue Xing let out a sigh of relief, "With two of them here, there really is no chance of failure. The people of the Hao Tian Clan are naturally domineering, and sending two this time shows they're well-prepared. No matter how strong Qin Xiao is, he's still too young...
After today, we'll have no more worries. Excellent! Hahaha."
Prince Xue Xing grew increasingly jovial and could not help but laugh out loud in the end.
Defeating a Titled Douluo level enemy without lifting a finger.
Honestly, he felt a bit of pride in his heart.
However...
He then instructed Avalanche, "Now, go and see how things are progressing."
"If Qin Xiao has already fallen, I have some further plans to make," he said.
At that, Avalanche asked with curiosity, "I don't know what other plans you have, Uncle, but you can leave them to me to handle."
"You can't handle this matter..."
"But, it doesn't hurt to tell you about it," he continued,
"It wasn't just Qin Xiao who brought us humiliation; it was also the opportunistic Shrek. Qin Xiao must die, and I will also eradicate the people of Shrek Academy!" Xue Xing said with a murderous tone.
"Yes, without Qin Xiao, Shrek will be like a toothless tiger, they must be destroyed!" Avalanche's face contorted with ferocity. "Uncle, I'll go check on it myself, you just wait for my good news."
After saying this,
He turned and left the room.
But he quickly returned,
With a very ugly look on his face.
It was dark as if it could drip water.
"What happened?"
"Why don't you speak?"
Prince Xue Xing asked in a deep voice.
He was also somewhat anxious, having guessed that something was wrong when he saw Avalanche return.
It was just that the matter still needed verification.
"Uncle Wang, something terrible has happened." Avalanche organized his words before finally speaking up.
"Gulp."
Xue Xing's heart immediately sank.
"Is it related to Qin Xiao?"
He had already vaguely guessed what it might be.
Apart from Qin Xiao, what else could cause such a drastic change in Avalanche?
Without further hesitation, Avalanche revealed the news he had just received, "I just got the news that an elder of the Hao Tian Clan has fled, and another elder is suspected of being coerced by Qin Xiao."
"What! How could something like this happen?"
"Two Titled Douluo-level powerhouses were dispatched by the Hao Tian Clan, yet they couldn't subdue Qin Xiao alone?"
Xue Xing uttered incredulously.
For him, it was completely inconceivable.
He had considered the possibility of contingencies, but had not expected such a severe turn of events.
"Indeed, even in my dreams, I did not expect such a turn of events," said Avalanche, his voice bitter with shock.
In reality, it was more a sense of despair in his heart.
If even the elders of the Hao Tian Clan had failed, what could they possibly do?
"Is there really no one who can handle this Qin Xiao?"
Ultimately, he looked helplessly towards Xue Xing.
But Xue Xing's eyes had already lost all their luster, immersed in deep shock.
"Who would have thought, I really didn't expect Qin Xiao to be so capable. We have truly misjudged him," Xue Xing shook his head after a long while, filled with sighs of admiration.
Even though they stood opposed to Qin Xiao, he could not help but express his admiration.
"He's like a puzzle; just when we think we understand him, he always brings us new surprises."
After hearing what Avalanche had said, Avalanche lamented with a gloomy face, "Surprises? It feels more like scares to me. With such a formidable enemy at large, I can't have peace of mind."
"Uncle Wang, do you have any suggestions on what to do?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Xue Xing gave a four-word answer, "Wait and watch quietly."
"Wait and watch quietly? Does that mean we just wait and do nothing?" asked Avalanche, unwilling to accept this.
In response, Xue Xing laughed, "Then what do you think you can do? I'm all ears."
Ah, this...
Avalanche opened his mouth but was completely at a loss for words.
He was clear about his own capabilities.
Without the full support of Xue Xing, he was nothing.
At this moment, Xue Xing added, "Let someone closely monitor the developments of the situation. I believe that the Hao Tian Clan, being the Number One Sect in the world, or at least once considered so, will not let this issue rest easily for the sake of their own reputation."
"When the time comes, we'll look for an opportunity to take action."
Avalanche nodded, "Understood."
...
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Inside the Crown Prince's Sleeping Palace.
"Young Master, may I know why you have summoned me?"
A red-haired elder respectfully asked Xue Qinghe.
His way of addressing Xue Qinghe was quite peculiar, not as Crown Prince or Your Highness, indicating his very special status...
"Porcupine Elder, I've called you here because there is something I need your help with," Xue Qinghe turned around and spoke indifferently to the elder.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe was no longer the refined and courteous figure, but displayed a chilling aloofness that seemed to keep others at a distance.
Beyond that, he exuded an air of superiority, as if he were looking down from a great height upon all others.
"Young Master, please command me."
Conversely, the Titled Douluo-level elder from the Martial Soul Hall, Porcupine Douluo, didn't find anything problematic with Xue Qinghe's attitude and responded with utmost respect.
"In recent days, a young Titled Douluo has arrived in the Tiandou Empire; you should know of this," Xue Qinghe said.
"Subordinate is aware of it," the Porcupine Douluo replied.
"It's about this person. Some days ago, he annihilated the Clan of Strength. Just now, I received news that Haotian Sect Elders have come to Tiandou City to thoroughly investigate this matter, and they have now reached the Blue Tyrant Academy.
Go to the Blue Tyrant Academy and watch over things. If any conflict arises between the two sides, don't worry about the risk of exposing yourself, but ensure Qin Xiao's safety," Xue Qinghe instructed quietly. "Such a powerful individual, if we could win him over to the Martial Soul Hall, would be an unimaginable asset in the future."
"Your Highness, if I should be exposed, who will protect your safety? With only the Snake Lance Elder, I fear..."
Porcupine Douluo frowned slightly, voicing his concern.
"Not to worry, there are not many within the Tiandou Empire who could pose a threat to me nowadays. Snake Lance Elder is more than capable of handling it," Xue Qinghe waved dismissively.
"Yes, then your subordinate will go now," replied the Porcupine Douluo in a low voice.
"Go ahead," Xue Qinghe motioned with his hand.
But before Porcupine Douluo could depart, Xue Qinghe's expression suddenly changed, "Someone's coming? Hide in the inner hall for now."
Upon hearing this, Porcupine Douluo did not hesitate and swiftly retreated into the inner hall, concealing his aura completely.
"Your Highness, President Meng requests an audience," at that moment, President Meng's voice came from outside the hall.
Xue Qinghe took a deep breath and then said, "Please, enter, President Meng."
Squeak.
As his voice fell, Dream Divine Machine walked in.
However, Xue Qinghe noticed the flushed face and excited demeanor of Dream Divine Machine, signalling an unsettled mind.
"President Meng, what has happened?" Xue Qinghe asked, frowning.
In reality, he could guess that Dream Divine Machine was likely there concerning the matter of Qin Xiao.
