Chapter 37: Evil Soul Master Tang San?

"I'm dying of laughter, this person must be sick." The voice of Yao Ling came from within Xiadie's Spirit Sea; in the entire Flower Sea, blue-purple butterflies fell to the ground one by one, rolling around incessantly.

After laughing for a while, Yao Ling also reacted and hurriedly connected its consciousness with Xiadie's.

"Little Master, don't listen to the nonsense of this sanctimonious hypocrite. There are plenty of excessive things they at Shrek have done, don't you dare actually die! I'm still counting on you to take me flying and help me become a god."

Yao Ling was truly afraid.

It had come to the human world many times and had seen many of humanity's bloodless killing tactics.

But Xiadie was just such a small thing; she might just get stuck in a dead end.

"Lord Yao Ling, I am not that stupid."

A projection of consciousness landed on the Flower Sea; it was Xiadie, and she rolled her eyes at Yao Ling.

"That's good, that's good." Yao Ling shifted the topic at the right moment, "Shrek is a trouble after all, what do you plan to do?"

"I will stay in the Star Luo Empire for this period; they can't possibly chase and kill me openly."

Xiadie pondered and answered Yao Ling's inquiry.

"It's truly troublesome to have no strength!" Yao Ling sighed, "If I hadn't sacrificed myself, I would have definitely killed this bespectacled man."

"Come to think of it, I am also very curious." The butterfly that Yao Ling had transformed into circled around Xiadie, "Little Master clearly has such strong Spirit Power, why can't you perform a simple spirit attack?"

"I won't dare say anything else, but at this 95th Level Titled Douluo degree, Little Master could one hundred percent shock this old guy into stupidity."

"Please use civilized language, Lord Yao Ling." Xiadie was somewhat speechless.

Had this Yao Ling spent too much time in the human world?

What does it mean for me to shock Yan Shaozhe into stupidity? What kind of wild, aggressive talk is this?

Back when Wengfaluosi wrote stories and shipped characters, she didn't even dare to use such vocabulary!

Uh... did she seem to have used it?

There seemed to be quite a few 18R ones too!

The memories of over thirty million lifetimes were too many; she couldn't remember, she couldn't remember.

If she didn't remember, then it didn't happen.

Xiadie's thoughts returned to the outside world.

She examined Yan Shaozhe, her voice calm: "Your Excellency has a body temperature of thirty-six point five degrees, why can you say such icy words?"

"If everyone on the continent who awakens what you call an evil martial soul is an Evil Soul Master."

"According to this logic, ten thousand years ago, the Jiubao Liuli Sect had a Titled Elder with a Bone Dragon martial soul, who was said to be an elder of the Nine-Colored Goddess Ning Rongrong."

"By your meaning, is he also an Evil Soul Master?"

"You, you..."

Yan Shaozhe was stuck for a moment.

As the Dean of the Martial Soul Academy, Yan Shaozhe naturally had some understanding of history.

Shrek Academy was not the Tang Sect; after historical changes, the historical records of the past had been damaged.

Especially concerning that period of history ten thousand years ago.

Things like broken swords and shattered bones were still recorded.

"You are sophistry." Yan Shaozhe's tone was icy, "How could an elder of the Nine-Colored Goddess be an Evil Soul Master? That is an existence favored by the heavens."

"Pfft," Xiadie chuckled, "So your law enforcement also depends on the person, right?"

"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

Xiadie tilted her head, her brows curved.

"Can you, can you compare to that person?"

"That person was an elder of a god, naturally protected by the gods, and could not be an Evil Soul Master." Yan Shaozhe really wanted to slap Xiadie to death, but seeing Wang Xian'er beside her, he had to hold back.

"Then let me change the example." Xiadie didn't seem to notice that Yan Shaozhe was on the verge of rage, continuing to provoke him, "The Nether Civet martial soul possesses both speed and the Dark Attribute, and in fact, is overall more inclined toward the Dark Attribute."

"The current holder of the Nether Civet martial soul does not have the protection of that Speed God from ten thousand years ago."

"By your meaning, are Soul Masters with the Nether Civet martial soul also Evil Soul Masters?"

"Absurd!"

Yan Shaozhe was furious.

A wave of pressure belonging to a 95th Level Titled Douluo surged and expanded.

Two yellow, two purple, and five black, nine soul rings rose one after another from his feet.

The pressure belonging to a Titled Douluo pressed toward Xiadie without reservation.

"Enough!"

Xu Jiawei roared, his clothes fluttering slightly due to his soul power.

The same two yellow, two purple, and five black nine soul rings swirled around his body, and the aura belonging to a 94th Level Titled Douluo erupted outward.

There was a slight gap between the soul power levels of Xu Jiawei and Yan Shaozhe, but it was enough to help Xiadie block all the soul power pressure.

"This is the Star Luo Empire, my Huang Gong."

"Dean Yan, your repeated provocations, isn't that going a bit too far?"

"Your Majesty, you also want to protect this little girl?" Yan Shaozhe was so angry he almost couldn't catch his breath.

Not only was Wang Xian'er protecting her, but even the Star Luo Emperor had taken action.

If it were only Wang Xian'er, it wouldn't change the Star Luo Empire's decision, but with Xu Jiawei taking action, it meant the Star Luo Empire stood on the side of the little girl before them.

"Dean Yan, Miss Xiadie is a distinguished guest of my Star Luo Empire."

"As for the future harm to the continent you speak of, that is a future that has not yet happened; that is an uncertain matter."

"Just like the Sea God of that year, isn't it also recorded that he learned a Domain from an Evil Soul Master?"

"I have always believed that whether a Soul Master is righteous or not is determined by the Soul Master themselves."

"I understand."

Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

Xu Jiawei had even brought out the Sea God Tang San; what could he possibly do?

The Star Luo Empire, like Shrek, possessed ten thousand years of historical foundation; since they even knew about the Sea God Tang San learning a Domain from an Evil Soul Master, what could he use to refute them?

Any rebuttal would lack conviction.

The nine Spirit rings circling Yan Shaozhe's body slowly vanished.

He looked at Xu Jiawei, his voice cold: "Your Majesty, your Star Luo Empire had best take care of itself."

"Dai Yaoheng, let's go."

As he spoke, he ignored everyone else in the room and pushed the door open to leave.

Dai Yaoheng was at a loss; he looked at the figure departing outside the door, then turned his head to look at the Star Luo Emperor.

"Go. If there is any intelligence regarding that Great Black Heaven, I will notify the Gongjue Fu," Xu Jiawei waved his hand at Dai Yaoheng.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Dai Yaoheng bowed to Xu Jiawei and then walked away quickly, closing the door behind him as he left.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded, yet the entire hall fell silent at this moment.

That was right, the Star Luo Empire had made its choice.

Wang Xian'er only represented herself, but Xu Jiawei confronting Yan Shaozhe represented the stance of the Star Luo Royal Family.

"Your Majesty, happy to be working with you," Xiadie broke the silent atmosphere.

Xu Jiawei plopped down into his chair, and the nine Spirit rings on his body vanished one after another.

"I hope I have not made the wrong choice."

Xiadie had given too much; the items currently placed on the table alone could enhance the strength of the army.

Furthermore, there was that Great Black Heaven from before, which had given a boost to that bunch of old fogies in the Offering Hall who had one foot in the grave, allowing them to live at least a few more years.

It was not just the Evil Soul Masters who had infiltrated Xingluo Cheng and the people from Shrek who wanted to know who had given them that boost; the Offering Hall also wanted to find this person.

The teacher behind Xiadie was even more unfathomably mysterious.

Xu Jiawei steadied his mind and said:

"Miss Xiadie, open spears are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against. According to the intelligence I have, this Yan Shaozhe is not a man of great tolerance; you must be careful in the future."

Xiadie nodded and replied: "I understand, I will look after my own safety."
