Chapter 49: The Advantage is Mine, You Have Already Embarked on the Path to Death
With scorching gazes cast from all around, Xu Jiawei suddenly felt immense pressure.
"I don't know much about this point either," Xu Jiawei coughed lightly. "Last time, when Miss Xiadie and Jiu Jiu went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings, they encountered the beast Chi Wang and the Beast God Di Tian."
"Miss Xiadie used this move to awe Chi Wang and the Beast God, thereby returning safely."
"Awe the Beast God Di Tian?" The Title Douluo of the Offering Hall looked at one another in dismay.
Xu Jiawei nodded and continued, "I am not clear on the specifics either; the only ones who know about this are Manyi, Wang Lao, and my little sister."
With a "swish," the gazes of the Title Douluo present turned in unison toward Manyi, who had a rather low presence.
As fellow offerings of the Offering Hall, it was one thing for the Star Luo Emperor not to tell them, but Manyi, you thick-browed and big-eyed one, you actually hid it so well.
Seeing the gazes converge, Manyi gave a wry smile: "I have already told His Majesty everything I know. Miss Xiadie said the giant dragon is a trump card left behind by her teacher."
"When we first encountered Di Tian, both Wang Lao and I thought we were done for that day."
"In the end, Miss Xiadie pulled off a heaven-defying reversal and summoned the giant dragon from just now."
"Do you all remember the weapon Miss Xiadie summoned?" Manyi asked.
"That small green sword?" Huang Jinxu replied.
He understood a bit more about Xiadie than the other offerings of the Offering Hall.
When fighting Zhang Peng, Xiadie had a butterfly land on his clothes, activating a domain of Extreme Death Attribute.
Relying on that domain, she greatly weakened Zhang Peng's strength, which allowed him to hold his own against Zhang Peng at the 92nd level.
"That's right, that small sword is the Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife," Manyi nodded in response, "only it has already been purified."
"Hiss, so it was that thing."
Another offering exclaimed; the Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife was also quite famous in Xingluo Cheng.
Many Title Douluo had wanted to try and see if they could solve the problem of the Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife, but all had returned in disappointment.
"That engraving knife was purified by Miss Xiadie herself; she is definitely not some Evil Soul Master," Manyi said, stopping at that.
The Offering Hall was not entirely filled with Emperor Xu Jiawei's people; there were many who leaned toward the Duke of White Tiger's lineage, so some things could not be said too clearly.
"Compared to this, let's go see those two from Shrek," Manyi shifted the topic and looked at Xu Jiawei.
"Both are still alive, though their injuries might be a bit heavy and require treatment."
Xu Jiawei was satisfied with Manyi's response, especially the smoothness with which she changed the subject.
"Cheng Gang, take them for treatment; I still have other matters to handle here."
"Yes!"
Cheng Gang nodded and immediately went to check on the conditions of Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe.
……
Outside Xingluo Cheng.
Two people stepped out of a purple spatial rift; as soon as Xiadie stepped out of the space gate, her body staggered.
Wang Xian'er hurriedly reached out to steady Xiadie.
"Miss Xiadie……"
"I'm fine, the consumption was just a bit high," Xiadie leaned against a tree trunk and sat down.
Decomposing and absorbing Yan Shaozhe's soul skill to open the Death Flower Sea—this intense method was certainly shocking, but the burden on her was not small.
Xiadie looked at Wang Xian'er and asked, "Your Excellency, do you have any plans for what comes next?"
"I don't know," Wang Xian'er's expression was dejected; returning to the Star Luo Empire was impossible, as it would bring great trouble to the Star Luo Empire.
The world was so big, she wanted to go see it too.
"Miss Xiadie, my Death Attribute……" Wang Xian'er stopped mid-sentence.
"The elements of death have infected your martial soul; I can only guarantee that your personality will not be affected by the Death Attribute at most."
"That is already very good," Wang Xian'er beamed, "I was just too greedy. I noticed the abnormality in my body when fighting Chi Wang, it was just greed for power!"
"No one understands a Support Soul Master's thirst for strength."
"Sorry, I should have noticed sooner," Xiadie looked apologetic.
Wang Xian'er shook her head: "Miss Xiadie, this has nothing to do with you."
"Do you have a destination for what's next?" Wang Xian'er changed the subject.
"The three Douluo kingdoms are not friendly toward the Death Attribute, and this is Shrek's territory."
"Do you want to go to the Sun Moon Empire?"
"Hmm, Zhang Peng's Level 9 Soul Guidance Device is something the Spirit Engineers of the three Douluo kingdoms probably cannot build," Xiadie pondered, "I already have some ideas, but I still need to confirm the national conditions of each country."
"I can help you with that."
Wang Xian'er nodded in response.
"I understand the defense layout of Star Luo; if my personality hasn't been affected by my martial soul, I could also manage to go back and ask Xu Jiawei for some intelligence."
"Hmm, Your Excellency, you are from the Star Luo Empire, right? Does this count as treason?" Xiadie asked worriedly.
Wang Xian'er shook her head and said, "I am just traveling around; at over two hundred years old, I am no longer some hot-blooded youth."
"My bottom line is that I will not take action against the Star Luo Empire myself."
"I see," Xiadie nodded lightly.
"By the way, you didn't kill Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er, did you?" Wang Xian'er's tone carried worry.
"No," Xiadie shook her head.
One was a 95th Level top-tier Light-type martial soul, and the other was a 94th Level Title Douluo whose martial soul also belonged to the top tier; they were not so easy to kill.
Even if she had absorbed the power of three Title Douluo, plus used Yan Shaozhe's Ninth Soul Skill to open the Death Flower Sea, being able to erupt with Pollux, aside from the aura, should not have been enough to kill the two of them.
"Is that so? You really did want to kill them," Wang Xian'er saw the regret on Xiadie's face, "Shrek's strength is not weak."
"She wanted to kill me, I was just fighting back," Xiadie did not say more.
A purple butterfly flew over from the distance and landed quietly on Xiadie's finger.
"What is this?" Wang Xian'er asked, puzzled.
"Consider it a way of using my second soul skill," Xiadie replied casually.
"Hmm, it seems I've found them. Their state isn't very good, internal strife?"
"What did this butterfly say?" Wang Xian'er had a strange look on her face.
Is this speaking butterfly language? How absurd.
Xiadie brushed the dust off her body, stood up, looked up at Wang Xian'er, and said:
"To receive without returning is not polite; I am going to take revenge, would Your Excellency like to come?"
"Re... revenge?"
Wang Xian'er's face was filled with confusion, but she quickly reacted and grabbed Xiadie's hand.
"Wait, you want to make a move on those two? Now is not the right time!"
"Where has Your Excellency's mind wandered?" Xiadie shook her head. "Entering Xingluo Cheng now would be like a sheep entering a tiger's den; I'm not that brave yet."
"Then you..."
"I am referring to Zhang Peng," Xiadie explained. "The Holy Spirit Cult is having internal strife, and Zhang Peng just killed a Title Douluo; his strength is insufficient now."
Her own Domain currently stored quite a bit of soul power, enough to make a reckless push.
The enemy is heavily injured while I am at full health; the advantage is mine.
"Uh, then I will go with you." Hearing that the target was Zhang Peng, Wang Xian'er became instantly excited.
If it weren't for this person appearing suddenly, they wouldn't have been "abandoned by everyone."
An Evil Soul Master, is it? Zhang Peng, is it? And having internal strife with your colleagues.
Then it is certain, you have already brought the path of death upon yourself.
