章 653: Chapter 651: The Elders' Questioning, Xu Ran Takes Action_1
"Hmm?" The elders were discussing enthusiastically when they were suddenly stopped by Qian Renxue.
They then realized that Qian Renxue was holding hands with a man, and her lovable girlish behaviors revealed the relationship between the two.
"She has actually won His Highness's favor?" the elders exclaimed in surprise.
Qian Renxue's beauty was exceptional, and even though they were elders used to seeing beautiful women, they couldn't help but acknowledge her loveliness.
Moreover, Qian Renxue was proud in nature, unafraid before the many elders, and even suppressed their presence, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Such a woman was hard to find across the continent.
"No, wait, you are Xu Ran?"
"How could you possibly be with His Highness..."
A group of people showed shocked expressions.
They looked Xu Ran up and down earnestly, seeing his imposing appearance and commanding presence, immediately confirming Xu Ran's identity.
Indeed, this was Xu Ran.
Aside from Xu Ran, it was impossible for anyone else in the younger generation to possess such demeanor and charm.
"Xu Ran... interesting," murmured the Golden Crocodile Douluo, his eyes flashing as he sent two streaks of brilliant light towards Xu Ran, attempting to peer into the secrets he held.
But the next moment, a terrifying aura that only he could feel burst forth from Xu Ran, shattering the two golden lights.
"Hmph," the Golden Crocodile Douluo grunted, feeling an unreal pain in his eyes.
In this world, except for Qian Dao Liu who was surely stronger than him, he had never been at a disadvantage before anyone else. And now, he had actually been bested in front of Xu Ran.
Seeing the Golden Crocodile Douluo in discomfort brought a smile to Qian Dao Liu's face, his hand stroking his beard as he grinned from ear to ear.
Xue'er's fiancé, Xu Ran, was naturally better the stronger he was.
"Second Elder, what's wrong?" asked a few Titled Douluo who were close to the Golden Crocodile Douluo, noticing something off with him and frowning.
"It's nothing," the Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head.
"Xu Ran, your reputation is indeed well-deserved. It seems your relationship with Lady Xue'er is not ordinary," commented an elder.
"Xue'er is my girlfriend, and will be my wife in the future," Xu Ran said indifferently, holding Qian Renxue's hand tightly.
"Lady Xue'er is the only remaining bloodline of the Qian Family, and will even become the helm of Martial Soul Hall in the future..." the Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke slowly, releasing a powerful soul pressure that pressed down upon Xu Ran.
The whole hall immediately darkened, and an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation caused all those present to turn their heads and look.
But the hall was filled with the strong, and although this energy fluctuation was powerful and intense, it did not pose a significant threat to them.
They all looked on as if watching a good show.
Qian Renxue would undoubtedly hold a pivotal position in Martial Soul Hall in the future, and might even have the chance to become the Pope and the new leader of Martial Soul Hall. With such a status, Qian Renxue's marriage was not a trifling matter.
In the past, even Yu Xiaogang caused great unrest within Martial Soul Hall.
That incident had become a forbidden topic within the Martial Soul Hall, with no one daring to mention it again.
But not long after that incident occurred, Qian Renxue became romantically involved with an outsider...
The elders harbored doubts, since Xu Ran had been allowed entry, it meant that Qian Dao Liu had already accepted him. Qian Dao Liu, as the Great Elder of Martial Soul Hall, shouldn't fail to see this point.
The goddess of that time, now the Pope, had caused such great harm to Martial Soul Hall.
If Qian Renxue were to repeat the same mistakes, entrapped by love, where would Martial Soul Hall go from there?
After all, Qian Renxue was the only one left of the Qian Family's bloodline. If this single thread of lineage were to be severed, Martial Soul Hall would plunge into chaos. Without the Qian Family to uphold order, like a dragon without a head, Martial Soul Hall would likely be torn apart.
"Grandfather." Qian Renxue approached and took hold of Qian Dao Liu's hand, her phoenix eyes showing a trace of worry, but even more so, confidence and pride in Xu Ran. Qian Dao Liu had convened many elders today with the purpose of establishing Xu Ran's authority.
As long as he gained the approval of these Titled Douluos, no one in Martial Soul Hall would dare to challenge Xu Ran.
"Xu Ran should be able to handle it. If he can't, then he has no right to marry my precious granddaughter," Qian Dao Liu said with a chuckle. His beloved granddaughter was destined to become the empress of Martial Soul Hall, a highly sought-after position.
If Xu Ran lacked the strength, then he could come back when he was strong enough.
While Xu Ran's genes were strong, capable of expanding the Qian Family's progeny, he wasn't the only choice available.
"Hmph. I'm just worried about Uncle Jin E getting hurt. Xu Ran has just arrived and already injured an influential elder of Martial Soul Hall, that might not be proper," Qian Renxue said haughtily.
"Pfft." Golden Crocodile Douluo nearly stumbled upon hearing these words.
He was, after all, a level 98 Titled Douluo, just one step shy of the ultimate level 99 Soul Master. In terms of Martial Souls, his Golden Crocodile King was a renowned existence among beast Martial Souls.
Although Xu Ran was extremely talented, he shouldn't be a match for him.
Originally, he just intended to test Xu Ran's strength, but hearing Qian Renxue's belittlement, his pride was ignited, and he unleashed his Martial Soul, aiming to teach Xu Ran a lesson.
The Martial Soul of Golden Crocodile Douluo was the Golden Crocodile King, and with a flash of golden light, a ferocious and gigantic Golden Crocodile appeared behind him, with nine soul rings surrounding him, the last one being a brilliant hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
"Elder Jin E is actually serious."
"Now this is getting interesting."
The numerous elders in the great hall retreated, as Golden Crocodile Douluo unleashed his Martial Soul, the soul pressure around him extremely formidable, and the air currents in the space began to twist subtly. Although the elders were Titled Douluos, they still felt oppressed without unleashing their own Martial Souls.
Crocodiles were naturally brutal, and that Golden Crocodile King's massive jaws and long, sharp teeth were truly astonishing.
"The goddess of our Elder Hall, Her Excellency Qian Renxue, is not someone just anyone can touch."
"So you wish to be with Xue'er, does that mean you're planning to join Martial Soul Hall?" Golden Crocodile Douluo said indifferently, his gaze fixed on Xu Ran. They had previously tried to recruit Xu Ran into Martial Soul Hall, but he declined.
Now Xu Ran was just an outsider, and for an outsider to be together with Qian Renxue, how could that be permitted?
Back then, Brock from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, although related, at least had joined Martial Soul Hall and could be considered part of it. Even so, Martial Soul Hall had obstructed their union. Martial Soul Hall would not allow a once-in-a-lifetime twin Martial Soul genius to fall in love with someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline like Brock.
How could they possibly allow the genius they had painstakingly nurtured to be so easily led away by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
Now, Qian Renxue's status was even more special, her position higher than that of an ordinary goddess. If Qian Renxue were to have any issues, the turmoil in Martial Soul Hall would be deeper than before.
"I will not join Martial Soul Hall, but I also will not let go of Xue'er," Xu Ran stated calmly. A powerful aura quickly emanated from him, repelling the soul pressure exerted by Golden Crocodile Douluo.
