Chapter 28: Star Luo Great Elder, The Surname That Perished in History
The palace was silent for a while, and Xu Jiawei's mood gradually calmed down. A hundred thoughts flowed in his heart, but then he quickly stayed on the most realistic problem.
"Two distinguished guests, the human world is different from the Extreme North Land, and there are many worldly shackles. If the two distinguished guests don't mind, I will personally solve the identity and other problems for you later, and all the expenses of the two distinguished guests in the human world will be borne by the Star Luo National Treasury to express my heart."
The Snow Empress nodded gently and did not refuse Xu Jiawei's kindness. She paused, then opened her mouth softly:
"You don't need to worry that Bing'er and I will be unfavorable to the humans in this city and your Imperial Family. The premise of cooperation is that both sides trust each other and exchange information and interests without reservation. I can feel that you still have concerns about us, but this is normal. If you think about it from another angle, in this huge giant city, the only one who can make me look at him squarely is likely the old man behind you..."
Xu Jiawei's expression remained unchanged. He had long heard of the Snow Empress's reputation. As the Extreme North Overlord and the third-ranked land fierce beast in the world, if she couldn't notice that person's existence, I fear it would really be a joke.
Following the Snow Empress's gaze, on the left side of the main seat where Xu Jiawei sat, the space seemed to have a slight invisible distortion. A thin and dry old figure walked out slowly, and the decaying and late-life aura followed. In an instant, the light in the entire palace seemed to dim a lot.
The Snow Empress narrowed her eyes slightly. She actually felt a faint sense of crisis from this human old man who was at the end of his life. Before, this old man hid himself in the dark, and the aura around him seemed to be blocked by something. If the true body was revealed, the Snow Empress indeed felt the abnormality.
The Ice Empress looked at the old man with a hint of vigilance in her eyes. In her perception, this person's strength seemed to be around level 98 like her, it was just that the aura was too strange, as if he was deliberately hiding something.
Xu Jiujiu widened her beautiful golden eyes as she looked at the old man. In her memory, when did the empire have such a powerhouse...
After racking her brains to think, Xu Jiujiu finally found a blurred figure in the depths of her memory. The memory of that year gradually overlapped with reality. Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but clench her hem, then whispered to Shu Yan:
"This... is the Great Elder of our Star Luo Imperial Offering Hall. When my Imperial Brother broke through to Title Douluo that year, I had met him once."
Shu Yan's face appeared with a hint of surprise, and his gaze at the old man also changed slightly.
The Star Luo Imperial Offering Hall had always been an extremely mysterious existence in the outside world. Although its strength and mystery were not as good as the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, it was absolutely one of the most powerful soul master organizations in the world. Most of its members were unknown to the world, and they would only take the initiative to appear when the Star Luo Empire encountered danger. Even Xu Jiawei, without sufficient reasons, could not mobilize the truly mysterious and powerful existence among them, and this so-called Great Elder was only lived in the mouths of others, and almost no one had seen his true face. And now, such a character actually appeared in front of everyone like this, not just surprised...
Xu Jiawei stood up slowly, feeling the increasingly decaying and weakening aura on the old man. His face couldn't help but sink. After being silent for a while, he said softly:
"This time it disturbed you, Elder Qian..."
The old man called Elder Qian slowly raised his head. His old, dry face had a clear scar, and his turbid eyes were full of vicissitudes and peace. Just one look could make people feel as if they had lost their souls, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble twice.
"No matter, this old man has sat for several years. Now that I finally came out to move my bones, if I don't breathe more fresh air from the outside world, I fear my body will be no different from a dry corpse."
The old man's tone was very light, unexpectedly gentle. He looked at Xu Jiawei in front of him, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. The thin body supported by a pitch-black cane walked forward slowly for a few steps. Xu Jiawei wanted to step forward to support him, but was refused by the old man with a wave of his hand. His turbid gaze looked toward the stage, and when his gaze touched the Ice and Snow Dual Emperors, it changed slightly. The Ice and Snow Dual Emperors also looked toward this side at the same time. Three different auras collided in the air. In the next moment, three completely different soul power fluctuations of ice-blue, dark green, and dark gold collided fiercely over the palace. The white light was dazzling. Xu Jiawei didn't move a step, while Shu Yan protected Xu Jiujiu and retreated a distance, his gaze also observing the changes in the situation.
The white light slowly receded. The old man retreated three or four steps in a row, the aura around him was slightly chaotic, and his gaze directly skipped the Ice Empress and turned to the Snow Empress, with a hint of unusual emotion in his gaze.
"Is this the power of the Limit Douluo level? Sure enough, compared to Super Douluo, it can be said to be a world of difference, and it cannot be compared at all." The Snow Empress's gaze appeared with a hint of surprise. She carefully swept over the old man's whole body, and then, she said softly: "Human, you are very powerful, but this doesn't seem to be your limit. Your limit seems to be fettered by some things. You, seem to have some secrets on you."
The old man smiled frankly and said casually:
"Old past events, just sacrifices made for the sake of becoming stronger. A difference in thought, a world of difference. Extreme North Emperor, I have long heard of your reputation. Seeing you today, it is indeed well-deserved."
"Qiangu..."
Shu Yan slowly let go of Xu Jiujiu's slender waist, silently reciting this surname that seemed to have perished in history, and his heart already had some guesses.
The Snow Empress nodded gently. Qiangu Chaosheng was very strong and had secrets hidden on him, which was enough to win her respect. This was the privilege belonging to the strong.
The Ice Empress looked at the Snow Empress and Qiangu Chaosheng, clenched her little fists fiercely, then stood up and shouted toward Qiangu Chaosheng:
"Hey!"
"Old man! How dare you ignore this lady? This lady is not weak, okay? Why do you only praise Xue'er? If you don't give a reason today, believe it or not, this lady will beat you up right now?!"
For the Ice Empress's scolding that was like "breaking defense", Qiangu Chaosheng just smiled lightly and didn't care much. He leaned on his pitch-black cane and moved a few steps again, and a hint of kindness actually appeared in his eyes. He looked at the Ice Empress and opened his mouth:
"Little girl, you should be like this old man, following the law of strength is supreme and the strong are king. This old man can tell you very clearly, you are very strong, but you are not this old man's opponent. If you don't believe it, you can try..."
The Ice Empress waved her arms, and the anger in her eyes when looking at Qiangu Chaosheng was full. She admitted that this old man with a peaceful aura successfully turned into another hateful appearance in her eyes. She just wanted to beat the other party up now, so that the other party could properly see her strength as the Ice Empress! The Snow Empress helplessly stopped the Ice Empress, who was surging with fighting intent, and then said softly: "Bing'er, don't mess around. You are indeed not his opponent. If you don't believe it, you will know after a try later."
Hearing the Snow Empress's words, the Ice Empress was somewhat dumbfounded. The Snow Empress's attitude was very serious. She could clearly perceive that the Snow Empress was not joking. The Snow Empress's judgment generally wouldn't be wrong. Could it be that she was really not the opponent of this old man in front of her?
Watching the Ice Empress lower her head somewhat depressed, the Snow Empress was also full of helplessness. Even if Qiangu Chaosheng's state looked like a candle in the wind now, the Snow Empress could clearly perceive the terrifying power hidden in his broken body. If the Ice Empress fought him, she could achieve resistance, but wanting to win was almost impossible.
Just when the Ice Empress was doubting herself while taking the opportunity to be in the Snow Empress's arms, Qiangu Chaosheng smiled silently. His gaze shifted again and finally came to Shu Yan beside him.
The gentle golden soul power carried an irresistible dominance. Shu Yan didn't even have time to release his martial soul before he was imprisoned by this golden soul power, floating in mid-air and completely losing the ability to resist.
The old man's old voice with a smile sounded in his ears. Shu Yan only felt his hair stand on end, as if he had seen something more terrifying than a fierce beast...
