Kapitel 378: Chapter 203: Entering Spirit City, Meeting Qiandaoliu_1
The journey to Spirit City was smooth; Qin Xiao did not experience any murder attempts from the Martial Soul Hall.
But there was no surprise there. After all, their team no longer included targets that the Martial Soul Hall might want to single out.
After several days of travel, the silhouette of a city had gradually appeared on the horizon before the magnificent procession.
As they drew closer, the image of the city became increasingly clear in Qin Xiao's eyes.
Unlike Tiandou City, Spirit City was only one-tenth the size in terms of area.
Yet the impact it made on Qin Xiao was no less profound.
The towering 80-meter walls looked exceedingly majestic and grand, not at all inferior to that of Tiandou City.
On the walls, there were 6 enormous reliefs, each representing a powerful Martial Soul.
"Spirit City is quite something; just the outer walls alone must have cost a fortune to build, a sum that is not trivial even for the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect,"
"Furthermore, the soldiers patrolling the battlements of the Martial Soul Hall are all Soul Masters,"
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi came up to Qin Xiao and spoke in a low voice.
Admiration filled his eyes too.
It goes without saying that there is a reason why the Martial Soul Hall can hold its own against two great empires, whether in terms of finances or manpower, they have ample resources.
Even Ning Fengzhi couldn't help feeling envious.
Qin Xiao said nothing, his gaze fixed on Spirit City.
Aside from the patrolling soldiers that Ning Fengzhi had mentioned, he did not notice anything else, but Qin Xiao was different.
Atop the highest tower, he could just make out several figures, watching in their direction.
However, among the observers were powerful individuals who deliberately used Soul Power to obstruct Qin Xiao's line of sight, preventing him from recognizing their identities.
"Now that's not very fun."
Qin Xiao muttered to himself with disdain and curled his lips.
If you don't let me see, I don't even care to look... With this thought, he turned his attention back to the direction of Spirit City.
At this moment, a troop emerged from the city, numbering over a hundred people.
Most of them wore silver battle armor, exuding an aura of nobility and extraordinary valor.
The two leading the group, however, wore different attire— they were two elderly men in red robes.
"They are Hall-Protecting Knights of the Martial Soul Hall, and the two in the lead are the Red-clothed Bishops,"
Ning Fengzhi explained.
Qin Xiao nodded slightly.
Even if Ning Fengzhi had not spoken, he could have guessed their identities.
After all, in Spirit City, only important figures could wear red robes.
"To all our guests who've come from afar, it must have been a tiresome journey. Accommodations for rest have been prepared for you within Spirit City; please follow me,"
one of the Red-clothed Bishops spoke slowly as they approached.
His demeanor was neither humble nor haughty, maintaining a distance that made it hard to feel either fondness or malice towards him.
The other Red-clothed Bishop also cooperated by gesturing for them to follow.
Two Red-clothed Bishops then led the way towards the interior of Spirit City.
At the same time, the hundred or so Hall-Protecting Knights split into two groups, left and right, leaving a clear path for everyone to pass through.
"Let's go as well,"
Qin Xiao called out to the people behind him.
Their group was reasonably large,
consisting of the nine competitors, Zhao Wuji, Flander, and Liu Erlong.
There were also Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Poison Douluo.
After ensuring Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong's safety during their Soul Hunting and bringing them back to the team, they did not depart but chose to travel to Spirit City together with Qin Xiao and the others.
...
Meanwhile,
inside the tower atop Spirit City, a woman wearing a Nine-bend Purple Gold Crown, dressed in a black robe with gold patterns, holding a two-meter-long scepter embedded with countless gemstones, also slowly withdrew her gaze.
The Soul Power she had used to interfere with sight dissipated, revealing an almost perfect face.
Her regality and the holiness radiating from her could not help but make one feel an urge to worship.
Without a doubt, such a person with that kind of aura was none other than Bi Bidong, the Pope and ruler of Martial Soul Hall.
"Teacher, did you see the person you wanted to see?" a pure-looking girl with shoulder-length hair curiously asked Bi Bidong.
"I did,"
Bi Bidong answered indifferently.
"Teacher, can you tell Nana who you were looking at?"
As Bi Bidong's disciple, Hu Lina shared a closeness with the Pope that others could hardly imagine.
Bi Bidong was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I was looking at your opponent."
"Who? My opponent?"
Hu Lina frowned, puzzled.
"You'll know in time."
"But of course, if you are not diligent enough, you might not even get to meet this opponent,"
Bi Bidong shook her head, saying no more.
The list of Tiandou Empire's competitors had long been known to them.
The Shrek squad, Qin Xiao.
When she first saw that name, Bi Bidong thought she might have misread it.
After a simple verification, she finally accepted this fact.
Thus, today, as all the contestants from the Tiandou Empire entered the city, she was there.
She was curious to see what kind of Titled Douluo had so shamelessly joined the team?
Of course, she wasn't disappointed.
Good looks were only superficial, after all.
In contrast, after hearing Bi Bidong's words, Hu Lina's confusion deepened, "Besides the Shrek squad from the Tiandou Empire, who else could possibly qualify to be our opponent?"
Bi Bidong just shook her head slightly, saying only, "You will understand later," before turning away.
Hu Lina was even more baffled; she felt an impulse to rush down and demand that each member of the Tiandou Empire's team explain themselves clearly.
...
Elsewhere,
Qin Xiao and the others had already arrived inside Spirit City.
