As soon as You Mengchu said this, the demonic shadow clearly froze for a moment, seemingly not expecting to encounter a native Title Douluo-level existence right after returning to the Sun Moon Continent.
Shen Liu Yu looked at Xu Yuexuan with some curiosity and said:
"You Sun Moon Empire people are so domineering? A Title Douluo can only be a city lord? If this were on our Douluo Continent, the two great empires would probably treat you as an ancestor to worship..."
Xu Yuexuan was also a bit stunned, then quickly shook her head and said:
"I'm not sure, but before I left, the empire didn't have many Title Douluos at all. Even if there were any, their ranks were almost all below level ninety-five, and none of them were young."
"Moreover, every Title Douluo has their own official position in the empire. Any one of them pulled out would have a status and identity far higher than that of a giant city's city lord. Some Title Douluos serving in the military or the imperial family have statuses even higher than ordinary dukes, and the power they hold is astonishing. This is an undeniable fact..."
The demonic shadow silently retreated behind Xu Yuexuan. As it concerned Title Douluos, a mere Soul Douluo like her indeed had no place to speak, and a single careless word could invite trouble.
Shen Han Yu interrupted the group's conversation. He looked at the clearly more luxurious mansion in the distance that stood out from the other buildings, and said directly:
"Never mind whether he's a Title Douluo or not. Since he actively appeared in front of us, he can only consider himself unlucky. Let's go. We just happen to need a guide. If he's sensible, he might suffer a little less..."
The Snow Emperor stood shoulder to shoulder with Shen Han Yu and gently nodded as well. Although neither of them released any aura, Xu Yuexuan still inexplicably felt an extreme chill pass through her body. At the same time, she silently mourned for this "lucky fellow" for a second in her heart...
...
They walked up the winding high steps. Above was a wide road, where two middle-aged soul masters wearing standard uniforms were on guard. Before the two could even make a sound upon seeing the group, they were directly knocked unconscious by a surge of soul power.
Meanwhile, the soul tools on the tall metal-glazed wall nearby seemed to sense something. The originally lowered cannon muzzles slowly rose and then aimed at the group.
Accompanied by a crisp sound, several cannonballs the size of a palm shot straight toward the group, but they were fixed in mid-air before they could even reach them.
In the next moment, an explosion rang out, instantly alarming the surrounding area. Countless gazes began converging in this direction. Amid the smoke and dust, the group walked out one after another. The Snow Emperor gently waved her hand, and the other offensive soul tools aimed at the group immediately lost their function.
Xu Yuexuan looked at those soul tools that had already lost their function and lightly sighed, saying:
"The empire attaches great importance to the development of offensive soul tools. In this regard, the most basic automatic defense systems have even appeared. However, with the empire's current technological level, they ultimately cannot delve deeply into them and can only create some small gadgets that handle basic situations..."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. Soul tools of this level would absolutely be treasured items fought over by all sides on the current Douluo Continent, yet in Xu Yuexuan's mouth, they seemed like things not worth mentioning.
After using soul power to push open the heavy metal door in front of them, everything before them suddenly opened up.
It was a manor of considerable scale. Its decorations were similar to the style of Douluo Continent, but many facilities still clearly showed the distinct characteristics of the Sun Moon Empire. Shortly after the group stepped into the manor, the door behind them slowly closed automatically. Immediately after, several soul masters wearing black attire emerged from the shadows in all directions and quickly surrounded the group.
Behind these black-clad people, a burly middle-aged man with tightly bulging muscles walked over slowly.
The group's eyes shifted slightly. From the soul power fluctuations of this middle-aged man, they could tell he was the Title Douluo of this manor.
"Who are you people? Why have you trespassed into the City Lord's Mansion? Don't you know this is a capital crime? Or are you saying you've simply lived long enough..."
The middle-aged man's voice rang out with some anger, accompanied by a heavy soul power pressure.
Under the middle-aged man's feet, nine soul rings rose one after another. In his martial soul possession state, the muscles on his body swelled once more, and his height shot straight up to over two meters. A layer of cyan demonic patterns also appeared on his exposed skin. Most eye-catching of all was the pair of massive cyan bull horns that had appeared on his head.
It was clear that this middle-aged man's martial soul was a powerful bull-type one, focused on explosive strength. The characteristics of his martial soul made him look like a king of brute force. It was just a pity that his fifth soul ring was purple. Although there were already some black traces within the purple, it was ultimately still a notch below.
"This guy's soul power is around level ninety-two. He's probably at the bottom among the Title Douluos. A Yu, do you want to compare strength with him?"
You Mengchu chuckled lightly and then winked at Shen Liu Yu beside her.
Shen Liu Yu was slightly stunned, then said righteously:
"Mengchu Jie, you've wronged me. Everyone knows that I am the type who only moves her mouth and never her hands. Comparing strength or whatever simply doesn't match my ladylike character..."
Everyone was stunned by Shen Liu Yu's statement. Dugu Yan put one hand on her hip, clicked her tongue, and said:
"Someone's face is probably thicker than this courtyard wall, to actually say such shameless words. I won't say who it is, those who understand, understand..."
Shen Liu Yu raised an eyebrow, then quietly pinched Dugu Yan's waist and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Green-skinned snake, what are you barking about? Don't think I don't know that someone sleeps every day without wearing..."
Before Shen Liu Yu could finish speaking, Dugu Yan quickly reached out to cover the other's endlessly chattering little mouth, afraid she would blurt out something heaven-defying again.
Unfortunately, everyone nearby had already heard some of it, and faint laughter could be heard. Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed slightly, but with others present, she could only glare fiercely at Shen Liu Yu and let it go.
The group's leisurely appearance, as if they had returned to their own home, made the Mad Bull Douluo's face in the distance grow even darker. In the next moment, he clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead as cyan soul power swirled around him. Clearly, he was truly enraged by this scene.
The sharp change in the surrounding air pressure naturally affected the playful group as well. Shen Han Yu and the others stood in a slightly rear position, all looking somewhat helpless, but clearly none of them wanted to bother with anything.
Shen Liu Yu looked at the Mad Bull Douluo opposite her, whose aura was extremely heavy, and fiercely waved her fist at him before saying:
"Hey! Bull head, you look very unconvinced. If you're unconvinced, come and fight me. This lady guarantees you'll see stars in broad daylight..."
The Mad Bull Douluo could no longer endure it. His upper body's clothes were torn apart by his swelling muscles. The second soul ring among his nine rose. In the next moment, the soul power on his body surged once more. He roared angrily:
"Arrogant!"
"Today, this old man must let you properly experience what is called the power of a Title Douluo..."
"Second Soul Skill! Divine Bull Possession!"
A cyan bull shadow slowly attached itself to the Mad Bull Douluo. Strands of cyan soul power flowed from the corners of his eyes. The color of the demonic patterns on his body deepened further. His massive fists seemed to contain terrifying power capable of tearing the earth apart. Then, his legs exerted force, and in the next moment, he shot toward the group like a cannonball.
Shen Liu Yu pushed Dugu Yan beside her away. Soul power swirled around her right fist. In the next moment, her fair fist directly met the Mad Bull Douluo's giant fist.
Bang—
After a dull sound, a terrifying shockwave swept out. The surrounding black-clad people had to retreat continuously to avoid the interference of this shockwave. On the other side, Shui Bing'er helplessly condensed a blue barrier with soul power to block the shockwave for everyone.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the result of this collision was clear at a glance. Shen Liu Yu remained in place, while the Mad Bull Douluo uncontrollably staggered back dozens of steps, even coughing up a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Tch, I thought you were so strong, but that's all you've got. This grandma couldn't even be bothered to use her martial soul to hit you. Next time before you make a move, remember to observe carefully whether the opponent is someone you can afford to provoke. When you roam the world, what matters is whose backing is harder..."
The Mad Bull Douluo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The shock in his eyes had almost solidified into something tangible. He had never imagined that a young-looking little girl would possess such terrifying strength.
After Shen Liu Yu's reminder, he suddenly realized that besides a few Soul Emperors whom he could still see clearly, the auras of the rest were terrifyingly powerful. Especially the few people watching the show from the back, although they hadn't made any movements or released any aura, his intuition alone told him he was facing an endless abyss, filling him with dread.
Immediately, a drop of cold sweat slid down the Mad Bull Douluo's forehead. He quickly withdrew his soul rings and martial soul, then somewhat awkwardly cupped his hands and said:
"Young friends, please don't misunderstand. This old man only saw that all of you have extraordinary bone structures and casually tested you a little. It was actually just a rather unique way of welcoming guests. If you don't like it, we can change to another method..."
Shui Bing'er walked out from the back and said with some amusement:
"So everything Senior said just now was all a joke...?"
"This..."
The Mad Bull Douluo wiped his hands somewhat anxiously and said:
"Well... I said I had a strange feeling that prompted me to do this. Do you believe me...?"
But before the Mad Bull Douluo could finish speaking, a female voice came directly from behind him.
"Uncle Niu, since honored guests have arrived, stop standing there. Esteemed guests, please come in and talk..."
The gentle female voice seemed to carry a bewitching magic that unconsciously relaxed people's moods. Their vigilance slowly disappeared, yet it did not feel out of place. Shui Bing'er gave the group a look, then slowly walked forward.
The Mad Bull Douluo sighed lightly for some reason and walked at the very front.
Shen Han Yu and the others seemed to sense a unique aura, but they didn't say much and simply followed behind the group.
Pushing open a light wooden door, a faint tea fragrance slowly entered everyone's nostrils. Tea also has grades of nobility and inferiority. When in Element City and Heaven Dou City, the group had indeed tasted many extremely precious teas, but there had never been any tea whose fragrance could compare to the current one.
Exquisite screens divided the space. Tea fragrance lingered, and the antique-style decorations made everyone feel for a moment as if they had returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Several pale-faced maids walked out from within and led the group through the numerous screens until they reached a quiet room.
The Mad Bull Douluo seemed to want to say something but ultimately didn't utter a word.
The curtain of the quiet room was pulled open, and a wave of cold air blew in their faces. Shui Bing'er gently waved her hand, sending out a strand of soul power. The white mist that appeared before them slowly dissipated, allowing them to finally see the scene inside clearly.
This quiet room did not have excessive decorations, but the few remaining decorations all shared one common point, they carried a rich ice-attribute aura.
The fur carpet on the floor was very distinctive. Shui Bing'er recognized it at a glance as coming from the pelt of an Ice Lion King. The various crystal-like decorations on the surrounding walls looked more like they came from Ice Crystal Butterflies. On the ice bed in the center, a pale-faced young girl was slowly sitting up with the support of a maid. Upon seeing the group's arrival, the girl barely revealed a smile and said:
"If everyone can accept this environment, then please come in and talk..."
The Mad Bull Douluo slowly walked in front of the girl and said somewhat worriedly:
"Young Miss, your body... These matters can be handled by your subordinate. The Sect Master said you must not overexert yourself, otherwise the fire poison in your body might erupt again. At that time, even if an immortal came, they wouldn't be able to save you..."
The girl smiled and waved her hand, then said:
"Uncle Niu, I know my own body. No one in the entire empire can cure the fire poison of the Branding Poison Python. I am merely lingering on for a while longer. Everything else no longer matters..."
The people beside them also keenly caught the key point. Shui Bing'er made way, allowing Xu Yuexuan behind her to step forward. Then, she said softly:
"May I ask, which sect in the empire are you from?"
The girl was slightly stunned, then she chuckled lightly. A pure white jade flute appeared in her hand, along with six optimally matched soul rings.
A moment later, the girl withdrew her martial soul and coughed violently several times.
A flash of shock passed through Xu Yuexuan's eyes. She quickly said:
"Jade Spirit Flute... You are actually from the Heavenly Sound Sect..."
Then, Xu Yuexuan's expression changed slightly as she continued:
"But wasn't the Heavenly Sound Sect massacred during the northern rebellion? At that time, the imperial family and many forces dispatched countless powerhouses to investigate, but they found nothing. We all thought..."
The girl shook her head with a light smile and said:
"Our Heavenly Sound Sect has been rooted in the northern lands for over a thousand years. How could we be wiped out by a mere small rebellion? In fact, the situation in the north was truly no longer suitable for us to stay any longer. Taking advantage of the attack, the entire sect migrated south and finally arrived at this Mingxia City..."
Xu Yuexuan's eyes flickered as she asked:
"Then your body...?"
The girl sighed lightly. Her jade-like white fingers traced across the ice bed before she said softly:
"When leaving the sect, my father had to protect the main force's retreat, so he didn't pay much attention to my side. The elders and stewards of the sect also needed to take care of their corresponding parts. No one expected that a traitor had already infiltrated the sect..."
"That person's martial soul is the Branding Poison Python, a top soul beast possessing intense fire poison. Because his sudden outburst came too abruptly, almost no one reacted in time. I was thus poisoned by his innate toxin. Under Uncle Niu's protection, I arrived at Mingxia City first. The sect had people renovate the City Lord's Mansion overnight and built this ice room here to help suppress the fire poison in my body..."
Xu Yuexuan's complexion looked somewhat poor. It seemed she had associated it with something bad. She quickly asked:
"Did you also suffer an attack from evil soul masters? Or was it just enemies the sect had previously offended seizing the opportunity for revenge..."
Hearing the words "evil soul masters," the girl paused slightly. A trace of change appeared on her face as she said:
"Indeed, the figures of evil soul masters were present in the northern rebellion. My parents once said that the power of evil soul masters is now extremely terrifying, but their rise and strength occurred very suddenly, seemingly only within the last hundred years..."
"Also, since you know about these things, I suppose your background is not ordinary either..."
The girl's gaze turned toward Xu Yuexuan as she chuckled lightly once more.
Xu Yuexuan did not hide anything. Piece by piece, strange purple dragon scales climbed up her arm, bringing with them a unique dragon aura.
The eyes of the girl and the Mad Bull Douluo beside her slowly showed some changes. The girl took a deep breath and said word by word:
"Purple Radiance Heaven Destroying Dragon..."
"You are a member of the imperial family, or rather, you should be one of the three contemporary princesses. Am I right?"
Xu Yuexuan gently nodded without denying it.
"My title is Purple Moon. The connection between the imperial family and the Heavenly Sound Sect has always existed, though it was severed only in recent years. I believe you should know of my existence..."
The girl also gently nodded, but she did not speak further on these matters and stopped there. Then, her gaze turned toward the people behind Xu Yuexuan. With a pale yet bright smile on her face, she spoke softly again:
"Princess, won't you introduce your friends to me...?"
