Capítulo 76: Traitors Must Die
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuyun's cleverness backfired, as her earlier actions chasing Zhu Zhuqing inadvertently helped her sister. Now, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but feel regret.
Seeing the remorseful look on Zhu Zhuyun's face, a teasing glimmer flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes, and she felt secretly delighted.
In truth, Zhu Zhuqing hadn't wholly lied. If it weren't for fleeing from Zhu Zhuyun's pursuit, she wouldn't have escaped to the Heaven Dou Empire and would never have met Xiao Feng or acquired the two celestial herbs.
"I wonder what that guy is up to now?"
Unconsciously, Xiao Feng's image popped into Zhu Zhuqing's mind. She absentmindedly stroked her long, slender legs and started to see things more clearly.
As for Xiao Feng, who was constantly on Zhu Zhuqing's mind, he had already ridden the corpse puppet of a Greenfeather Eagle out of Xingluo City under cover of night, speeding toward Wuhun City.
By now, Xiao Feng had completed four projection missions, and with the free draws earned after each simulation, he had accumulated five free lottery chances in total.
Under normal circumstances, out of the ten rewards randomly drawn after each simulation, the number of valuable items shouldn't exceed 50%. Therefore, five free draws should suffice.
Thus, Xiao Feng prepared to find an appropriate way to end this simulation early.
Based on his previous simulation experiences, the stronger the people around him at the end of each simulation, the higher the probability he had of drawing something valuable.
According to the current timeline, Bibi Dong was the most powerful individual Xiao Feng was likely to encounter next.
Although Bibi Dong was undoubtedly love-struck, her strength was undeniable.
Not only had Bibi Dong reached the ninety-ninth level of soul power, but she had also gathered an entire set of soul bones, including several hundred thousand-year-old ones.
If Xiao Feng ended the simulation by Bibi Dong's side, there was a high probability he could draw one of those hundred thousand-year-old soul bones.
…
A few days later, in Martial Soul Hall City
Compared to Starluo City, Martial Soul Hall City was much smaller, about a tenth of its size.
However, Martial Soul Hall City's defense far surpassed Starluo City's. Its walls were 80 meters high and an astounding 30 meters thick.
What was most peculiar about Martial Soul Hall City was that, unlike ordinary cities with four walls, this city had six walls, forming a hexagonal shape.
Each of these six towering walls bore a massive relief sculpture representing six different powerful martial souls.
Xiao Feng stared at the martial soul reliefs on the walls for a moment before turning his gaze away and confidently entering Martial Soul Hall City.
Since most of the city's residents were soul masters, the streets were not crowded, giving the town a relatively empty feel.
There weren't many shops lining the streets, but the goods they sold were of high quality, including storage-type soul devices.
Xiao Feng's gaze wandered before settling on the central hill of the city.
The entire Martial Soul Hall City had been built around this hill, atop which stood two striking buildings.
The grandest building, situated halfway up the hill, shone brilliantly in the sunlight and was Xiao Feng's destination—the Pope's Palace.
As the name suggested, the Pope's Palace was where Bibi Dong resided.
At the very top of the hill was the legendary Douluo Palace, the final resting place for deceased Title Douluo.
After wandering Martial Soul Hall City for a while, Xiao Feng soon arrived at the foot of the hill where the Pope's Palace stood.
"Halt!"
The patrolling guards immediately stopped Xiao Feng, their expressions stern. "This is a restricted area of the Pope's Palace. Unauthorised people are not allowed to approach!"
"I am Xiao Feng. Not long ago, by a stroke of luck, I obtained a celestial herb and wished to present it to Her Majesty the Pope. Please inform her on my behalf."
With that, Xiao Feng took out the celestial herb from his storage ring.
It was a small, palm-sized white flower resembling a peony. It had no leaves, and its roots were connected to a piece of jet-black stone.
The pure white petals were streaked with blood-red threads, giving it an astonishing appearance.
"This flower is called the Yearning Heartbroken Red, a rare treasure among celestial herbs. I believe only Her Majesty the Pope is worthy of such a precious item."
Although the guards didn't recognise the celestial herb, they could sense the powerful soul energy emanating from it and knew it was no ordinary item.
The guards' leader softened his attitude when he realised Xiao Feng was here to offer a gift to Bibi Dong.
"Please wait a moment while I report to Her Majesty."
After instructing Xiao Feng to wait, the guard leader hurried toward the Pope's Palace.
When the guard leader arrived at the square outside the Pope's Palace, he couldn't help but glance up at the two corpses hanging from the flagpole.
Those mangled, unrecognisable bodies belonged to Clear Sky Douluo and his son.
It was said that Clear Sky Douluo had once been seduced by a shapeshifting soul beast, which led to the death of the previous Pope of Martial Soul Hall and nearly caused the extermination of the Clear Sky Sect.
Recently, Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo captured Clear Sky Douluo and his son, who was born from the shapeshifting soul beast.
It turned out that the apple hadn't fallen far from the tree—Tang San, like his father, had also fallen for the charms of a shapeshifting soul beast. Moreover, he shared the rare dual martial souls, just like Bibi Dong.
Luckily, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had discovered the situation early. If Tang San had been allowed to grow, he would have become a more significant threat than Clear Sky Douluo.
Thus, they crippled Tang San's limbs and hung him from the flagpole outside the Pope's Palace as bait to lure Clear Sky Douluo.
When Clear Sky Douluo finally appeared, Tang San was close to starving to death. Despite his strength, Clear Sky Douluo was no match for the Martial Soul Hall elders and was ultimately killed.
With Clear Sky Douluo dead, Tang San was of no further use and was also sentenced to death.
After their executions, Bibi Dong had their bodies hung in front of the Pope's Palace to serve as a warning.
Everyone must know that traitors who collude with soul beasts will meet death, even Title Douluo!
After casting one last glance at Clear Sky Douluo's corpse, the guard leader shook his head and respectfully entered the grand hall of the Pope's Palace.
At that moment, four figures were gathered inside—two men and two women.
The two men were Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, while the women were Bibi Dong and Hu Liena.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Pope!"
The guard leader first bowed to Bibi Dong, then cupped his hands respectfully to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. "Greetings, elders."
