Capítulo 13: Chapter 13: Saintess Hu Liena
Meanwhile, in the center of Notting City.
The Spirit Hall branch.
What was once a grand building had long since become a pile of ruins. The dome had been overturned, the walls collapsed, leaving only a small part of the ancillary structures intact.
The culprit behind all this was, of course, Zhou Chen.
"All this destruction was caused by that child during his martial spirit awakening?"
A soft, effeminate voice echoed, revealing a man clad in exquisite golden armor, equally exquisite and charming in appearance, walking amidst the ruins.
"Y-Yes, Elder."
Next to the effeminate man, an old man in a black bishop's robe spoke with a stutter, bowing slightly.
He was Cassius, the black-clad bishop of the Notting Spirit Hall branch, a level 47 Soul Elder.
At this moment, he appeared terrified, like a student about to be reprimanded.
It was no wonder Cassius was so nervous; the effeminate man's status was truly intimidating.
A member of the Spirit Hall's Elder Council, a loyal supporter of the Pope, a Titled Douluo—any one of these identities was enough to make a mere Soul Elder like him feel crushed under a mountain!
Hearing Cassius's trembling response, the effeminate man frowned and continued in a soft tone, "Have you figured out the identity of that child?"
"Well... no. The deacon responsible for awakening spirits, Su Yuntao, took gold soul coins to awaken the child's spirit privately. As a result, he didn't register the child's name, nor did he ask for it."
Pausing, Cassius continued with a heavy heart, "Later, when the child's spirit awakened, the powerful soul power pressure instantly knocked him unconscious..."
The more Cassius spoke, the more anxious he became, eventually dropping to his knees.
After all, Su Yuntao's actions could be seen as a major dereliction of duty, and as his superior, Cassius also bore unavoidable responsibility.
Sure enough, after hearing Cassius's explanation, the effeminate man became furious, his voice sharp and cold, "How do you even serve as a bishop? Use your brain! Also, execute that Su Yuntao immediately; the Spirit Hall has no need for such a useless person!"
"Elder Chrysanthemum, you mustn't!"
A clear voice rang out, and the next second, a girl about twelve or thirteen years old, with a stunningly beautiful face and nearly perfect figure, appeared before the two.
The girl wore a golden dress with a white cloak embroidered with the emblem of the Spirit Hall, her soft blonde hair completing her image as a pure, untainted lotus.
"Your Highness, the Saintess."
Upon seeing the girl, Cassius immediately prostrated himself on the ground.
It wasn't that he was too cowardly; the girl named Hu Liena before him was the Saintess of the Spirit Hall, the Pope's disciple!
The effeminate man's expression also softened, smiling as he asked, "Young girl, do you have any suggestions?"
"We can't kill Su Yuntao; he still has his uses."
Hu Liena spoke slowly, her beautiful eyes filled with a captivating light.
"Oh? Do tell."
Hu Liena smiled slyly, "My teacher foresaw such situations. She assigned us a soul master with a Five-Colored Brush martial spirit, whose innate soul skill allows him to accurately depict a person's appearance based on descriptions!"
"So, we just need Su Yuntao to describe the child from memory, and we can track him down sooner or later!"
"Good idea."
The effeminate man nodded, then looked coldly at the kneeling Cassius, "Go, you have one hour to bring me the portrait!"
"Yes, I'll see to it at once."
Cassius scrambled to his feet, leaving in a hurry.
He had heard of this elder's ruthlessness, knowing that failure to produce the portrait in the allotted time could very well cost him his life!
Once Cassius had left, the effeminate man turned to Hu Liena, examining her with warmth, "Young girl, have you broken through to level 30?"
"Yes, I just broke through today; I hadn't had a chance to tell you yet," Hu Liena replied, lowering her head with a hint of shyness.
"Wonderful! A level 30 soul master at just twelve years old; you truly are one of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. His Holiness the Pope will surely be pleased."
The effeminate man nodded approvingly, "In the coming days, I'll take you to the nearby Soul Hunting Forest to acquire the best thousand-year soul ring for you!"
"Thank you, Elder Chrysanthemum."
Hu Liena's sweet smile radiated an enchanting allure that momentarily dazzled even the effeminate elder, whose interests lay elsewhere...
Soon, an hour had passed.
Zhou Chen's portrait landed in Hu Liena's hands.
Gazing at the portrait of the impossibly handsome young boy, Hu Liena felt her heart flutter, involuntarily murmuring, "Quite good-looking..."
