Chapter 19: Arriving at Heaven Dou City, Salas's Secret Letter

Unbeknownst to him, Lingxu had ended up on Bibi Dong's kill list.

The butterfly wings he had not intended to flap had thus subtly changed something.

If not for Lingxu, Bibi Dong would never have acknowledged Qian Renxue as her daughter.

Lingxu was already aware of Bibi Dong's murderous intent; if not for Qian Daoliu that night, she might have already made a move.

He had Qian Daoliu to protect him in Wuhun City, but what about after leaving for Heaven Dou City?

Lingxu had been worrying about this throughout the journey; if Bibi Dong sent a Title Douluo, even if his family fought with their lives, it would be difficult to resist.

Fortunately, they had arrived in Heaven Dou City without encountering any major danger.

But Lingxu would not let his guard down; Bibi Dong's murderous intent was like a sharp blade hanging over his head—as long as it remained, he could not be at ease.

The carriage moved slowly along the main street of Heaven Dou City.

Because of the Spirit Hall's insignia, many carriages and pedestrians consciously gave way.

Not everyone hated the Spirit Hall; at least in Lingxu's view, they were the minority.

The reason the anime and novels of his past life made it feel like there were many was that the perspective one stood in was that of Tang San and his group.

Look at the commoners, like in Holy Soul Village where Tang San was born.

The Spirit Hall provided free martial soul awakenings for commoners and could even issue certificates, granting them the opportunity to enter a Spirit Master Academy.

Did the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires do these things?

They only knew how to collect household taxes.

Who was hated and who was respected was self-evident.

Furthermore, there were the Spirit Master subsidies: an ordinary Spirit Master received one Gold Soul Coin a month, a Great Spirit Master ten, and a Soul Elder one hundred.

To receive the subsidy, the Spirit Hall did not require you to do anything.

Although this money was provided by the two great empires and distributed by the Spirit Hall.

But without the Spirit Hall, would the two great empires be willing to give away so many Gold Soul Coins for nothing?

Are they stupid?

If they were to pay, you would have to sell your life for them once you took the money.

With just these two points, whether it was commoners or low-level Spirit Masters, who wouldn't speak well of the Spirit Hall?

Lingxu looked through the carriage curtain at the commoners giving way outside; some even bowed to their carriage, which was enough to prove the point.

Of course, in a large forest, there are all kinds of birds; there would never be a shortage of black sheep, and the Spirit Hall certainly had them too.

Everything has two sides; following the protagonists' perspective, you only saw the magnified parts, which could not represent the entire Spirit Hall.

"Son, how is this Heaven Dou City?" Luo Xingyue asked with a smile.

Lingxu had been looking outside the carriage, and she thought he was curious about everything since it was his first time in such a big city.

"Mother, Heaven Dou City is not bad, but I am only seeing the prosperous side right now; it certainly looks good before my eyes," Lingxu said.

"However, this Heaven Dou City has more ordinary people and more of a sense of life; it's not like Wuhun City, which is basically all Spirit Masters."

Luo Xingyue smiled and said, "That's right. We must still be careful in Heaven Dou City from now on. Although the powerful Spirit Masters here are not as numerous as in Wuhun City, we cannot underestimate anyone."

Ling Bufan also nodded and said, "Lingxu, your mother is right. Although we don't go looking for trouble, son, you must remember that we don't go looking for trouble, but that doesn't mean we are afraid of it. Son, you just focus on cultivating hard; no matter what you encounter, with your father and mother here, we will definitely keep you safe."

It had to be said that Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue's values were very upright.

"Yes!" Lingxu nodded earnestly; in fact, this was the same as what he thought.

Reborn in the Douluo World, to have such parents and family, Lingxu was very satisfied.

The carriage drove slowly and soon arrived at the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City.

Apart from Wuhun City, the Spirit Halls in the imperial capitals of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires were all high-specification.

The Hall Masters of the branch halls were all experts at the Spirit Douluo level, and they were all Platinum Bishops.

Salas was one of them, though his soul power was relatively weaker; Lingxu had heard from his parents that he had level 87 soul power.

As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw a team of Spirit Hall soldiers lining up in front of them.

A white-haired old man at the head also walked out from the Spirit Hall palace.

Who else could it be but Salas?

"Haha, my branch hall has always lacked two capable assistants; I didn't expect that Brother Bufan and your wife would be sent here," Salas walked over with a happy face.

It was very realistic; Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue already knew Salas.

"Hall Master!" Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue still bowed respectfully; after all, Salas's status and soul power were both higher than theirs.

"No need, no need. I am just a bit older than you; if you think highly of me, just call me brother," Salas said.

Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue nodded.

Afterward, they introduced Carlos and Cheng Mo to Salas, and only then did they introduce Lingxu.

"Is this your son, Brother Bufan?" Salas looked over in surprise.

"What level is he?"

Lingxu immediately replied, "Level 21."

At this moment, the soul power fluctuation in Lingxu's body was only level 21, and this was all due to the effect of the Breath Concealment Technique.

The Breath Concealment Technique could not only hide his soul power, but after reaching minor success, it could also hide his Spirit Rings.

Even a Title Douluo could not discover it; the system's products were like they were tailor-made for the Douluo World, very practical.

It was precisely because he knew these effects that Lingxu had given the Breath Concealment Technique to Qian Renxue first.

In the novel, Qian Renxue was over level 70 at twenty-nine; it probably wasn't that she didn't want to cultivate, but perhaps it was also because her soul power was difficult to hide.

The Breath Concealment Technique, combined with her Disguise skill, was absolutely the perfect complement.

"Not bad, not even eleven years old and already level 21 soul power, very good," Salas nodded and said.

In fact, being level 21 at this age showed great potential, but it could not be considered a true genius.

What Salas said was nothing more than official jargon.

"Brother Bufan, I have already prepared the place for you to stay. You can move in right now. Why don't you and your family get settled first? There is no need to rush into taking up your post immediately."

Ling Bufan said, "Then we shall follow Brother Salas's arrangements."

"Let's go, we're heading to our new home!"

Salas watched Lingxu and his family leave, when a Spirit Master from the Spirit Hall ran up behind him and quietly handed a letter to Salas.

"Lord Salas! A secret letter from Wuhun City!"

Opening the secret letter, Salas only took one look before an expression of shock immediately appeared on his face, but he then frowned, and finally, a look of hesitation appeared.

It actually contained information about Ling Bufan's son, Lingxu.

That child had actually used Disguise in front of him just now; in reality, he was not level twenty-one, but a Soul Elder of over level thirty.

This was what surprised him; not even eleven years old, and already a Soul Elder—what kind of concept was this?

With such talent, as long as no accidents occurred, reaching the Title Douluo realm in the future would not be difficult.

"Lord Salas, what are the instructions from above?" the man beside him asked curiously.

"Has anyone else seen this secret letter?" Salas said coldly.

"No, no one, my Lord, you are the first to see it."

The next moment, Salas circulated his soul power, instantly turning the secret letter into ashes.

"No one is to reveal the news that I received a secret letter today. If anyone else finds out, you know the consequences." Salas looked at the Spirit Master beside him with a murderous expression.

"Ye... yes, Lord Salas!"
