Chapter 94: with translation of chapter title

Ran away!?

Damn it!

What soul skill is this?

After Hu Yan Jue grasped at nothing, he was completely dazed and also very angry.

He is actually the chief steward of the Spirit Hall's Star Luo Sacred Palace, yet the other party gave him no face at all.

It's really too infuriating!

Unforgivable!

"Hmph, you ungrateful wretch, don't let me find you, or I'll make you know the consequences of not giving me face!" Hu Yan Jue said angrily.

Then he flicked his sleeve and left the room.

In the Netherworld Duke's mansion, Zhu Yu stood before a middle-aged man, head lowered, not daring to speak.

"I already know the news about that new soul tool that can be integrated into the body today; why not just give it to the family instead of taking it to auction?"

The man is the master of the Netherworld Duke's mansion, Netherworld Duke Zhu Zhen!

Such a special treasure could completely be used by one's own family; they're not short of money either.

Zhu Yu said: "The bidder specified an on-site auction; otherwise he would go elsewhere to auction."

"Have you found out this person's identity?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"No news at all." Zhu Yu shook his head.

The continent is so vast; trying to find a person within it—how easy could that be?

"What a pity."

A soul tool martial soul that can be stored inside the body and can grow to the level of a Soul Elder is absolutely a milestone for the entire soul master world, but it could also be a threat to us soul masters.

If in the future those with weak soul power could threaten us strong soul power individuals via soul tool martial souls, then this world would become extremely chaotic, disordered, and terrifying.

Those people would no longer be able to accept restraint.

So our best course is to find the source as early as possible, bring it under our control, and curb its development.

Even directly destroying it, making it completely disappear from this world.

Zhu Zhen took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

This is indeed a crisis for the soul master world.

"Actually, the clan head doesn't need to worry too much; so far there's only this one, and its upper limit definitely won't be too high." Zhu Yu said.

"Let's hope so." Zhu Zhen nodded.

What we urgently need to focus on now is the Dan Pavilion, which is controlled by the Force Clan; it's absolutely not as simple as it appears on the surface.

"These medicinal pills are actually so cheap, yet their effects are so good."

"It's hard to imagine how they could be mass-produced."

"If our Star Luo Empire could master these techniques, that would be great."

Zhu Yu said.

"Don't mess around; the Dan Pavilion is valued by His Majesty, and His Majesty, along with all the civil and military officials, have bought memberships, as has the imperial family and many others; the interests involved are too great."

"Moreover, the other branches of the Dan Pavilion hold shares for these people; if you truly harm their interests, they have countless ways to kill you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhen immediately stopped him.

"Why doesn't His Majesty just take it over?" Zhu Yu asked, puzzled.

"Because behind the Dan Pavilion stands a powerful and mysterious Titled Douluo, and we still have to give them face."

Zhu Zhen spoke in a low voice.

After crossing mountains and rivers, traveling a thousand miles, we finally arrived at Spirit Hall City.

Hu Yan Jue came to the Emperor's Hall, where the atmosphere was very gloomy, heavy, solemn and reverent.

The woman seated above is the current Spirit Hall Emperor, Bibi Dong; to the left below stands Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, and to the right below stands Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor, Elder Chrysanthemum, Elder Ghost."

Hu Yan Jue immediately performed a respectful salute.

"Hu Steward, why aren't you staying in your Star Luo Sacred Palace and suddenly returning?" Spirit Hall Emperor Bibi Dong said in an indifferent tone.

As a seasoned office veteran, Hu Yan Jue naturally detected the dissatisfaction in Bibi Dong's tone.

He hurriedly explained: "I have come specially to present this soul tool to you!"

Speaking, he immediately drew the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade from within the soul tool.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan took it, looked it over, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Exquisite craftsmanship, truly perfect work!"

Then he turned and handed it to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong took it, glanced, and a gleam appeared in her eyes: "Indeed, this is actually a soul weapon? It looks quite good; if we could equip the Spirit Hall's troops with it, their strength would surely rise to a new level."

Although martial soul and soul power are important, actually most of the troops are still composed of strong ordinary people.

The Spirit Hall has its own trained troops, among whom there are many strong ordinary people.

These people can make use of such weapons.

"Where did you obtain such a soul tool?" Bibi Dong asked: "How many more are there? Can it be mass-produced?"

Hu Yan Jue immediately replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty the Emperor, I purchased this from the Star Luo Royal Auction House for thirty million Gold Soul Coins; currently, this is the only one on the continent."

"What!? Thirty million Gold Soul Coins!?"

Upon hearing this figure, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Bibi Dong were all greatly shocked.

"Damn, it actually costs thirty million each? There's no way we can mass-produce it!"

"Why is it so expensive!?" Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes, suspecting Hu Yan Jue of money laundering or colluding with corruption.

If that were true, she would certainly not let it go easily! "Because this soul tool can be absorbed into the body by dripping blood from both soul masters and ordinary people, the power of this weapon can now kill a one-ring soul master, and it can also grow; its growth limit is the strength of a three-ring Soul Elder."

Just like that, Hu Yan Jue said everything he knew.

"It can actually be stored inside the body; it's truly the first of its kind on the continent!"

"And it even has growth potential!!"

"That young man ran away?"

"Investigate him for me—I must find this person! No matter the cost, I will win him over into the Spirit Hall to serve me; otherwise, he has no reason to live!"

Bibi Dong's eyes flickered with killing intent.

Such advanced soul tool technology, she must keep it under the control of the Spirit Hall.

"Yes, sir!"

Hu Yan Jue nodded.

Bibi Dong said, "You've done well; from today on, you are the vice hall master of the Star Luo Holy Hall! Go find him!"

"Yes, sir!"

Hu Yan Jue was overjoyed and immediately withdrew from the Papal Hall.

"Your Majesty, this is just a soul tool limited to a three-ring Soul Elder; at most it can be stored inside the body. Why are you so anxious?" Ghost Douluo Gui Mei and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan asked in puzzlement.

In his view, these are existences that can be easily slaughtered.

There's no need to be nervous about it.

It's just that searching for it will be a bit troublesome.

Bibi Dong said, "If this person can manufacture soul tools with even greater growth potential, then the status of soul masters will be threatened; moreover, if such technology falls into others' hands, it will be detrimental to our Spirit Hall. Controlling this technology means controlling the future discourse of soul tools, which is extremely important to us."

"Even so, it's just a weapon; that person is ultimately just a weakling, and poses no threat to true powerhouses."

Yue Guan expressed his opinion.
