Chapter 1974: Listening

Su Xiao thought for a moment and came to the Soul Speaker.

"Who are you waiting for to save you?"

"..."

The Soul Speaker remained silent again.

"Those people you are waiting for can't even break through Eagle Castle, let alone save people from us."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the Soul Speaker kept her head bowed and looked at Su Xiao. That expression was both like a sneer and like despising something.

"Eagle Marquis's lackey."

"Pfft."

The little adjutant beside him smiled and said nothing.

"The Saint King summoned you recently, and you didn't dare to refuse. The Eagle Marquis also summoned you, but you refused. What would the Saint King summon you for? This makes people curious."

"Greed."

The Soul Speaker laughed, revealing a mouth full of rotten teeth.

"Interesting. What would a king of an empire be greedy for? Relying on you to deal with the Moon Goddess? Obviously, you don't have that ability. But if you found something, it's very possible. Unknown power? Some kind of item? Key? Some person?"

"..."

The Soul Speaker closed her eyes and stopped talking, and stopped looking at Su Xiao, but Su Xiao noticed that when he said the two words "key," the Soul Speaker's aura had an extremely subtle change. This was instinct.

"A key to some place, huh? The Saint King hopes to get the key to that place, and the Eagle Marquis is the same. But among the three power-holders, only the Moon Goddess doesn't crave it. Let me think about why."

Su Xiao continued to ponder. A few minutes later, he spoke:

"Because... do not blaspheme the gods, you say so, right."

After hearing Su Xiao's words, the Soul Speaker was even more silent.

"Do not blaspheme the gods is bullshit. The previous seeking and listening are the keys. Since you are called the Soul Speaker, listening is absolutely no problem. That key needs to be known after listening."

Su Xiao's voice fell, and the hint appeared.

【Hint: The hunter has obtained key clues through the Soul Speaker, and the awakening mission second ring is activated.】

【Awakening Mission: Secret of Listening (Second Ring)】

Difficulty Level: lv. 45

Mission Information: Obtain the Will Rune Stone through "listening."

Mission Deadline: 8 days

Mission Reward: The Will Rune Stone can be notarized by the Reincarnation Paradise; this is equipment/item.

Mission Penalty: Forced execution

Seeing the mission information, Su Xiao knew how to deal with the Soul Speaker.

"Where is the Will Rune Stone? You can live until now, which means only you can go and listen to that thing."

Su Xiao looked at the Soul Speaker with a smile.

At this time, the contempt and mockery in the Soul Speaker's eyes disappeared, because Su Xiao not only deduced that someone would come to save her, but even knew that only she could listen to the "Will Rune Stone." What she couldn't figure out more was how the other party deduced the existence and name of the "Will Rune Stone."

"Heh, ridiculous mortals, you won't succeed. You will never, ever be able to find it."

The Soul Speaker had a "dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water" appearance. Clearly, she wasn't afraid of death, nor was she afraid of torture. For her, pain, loneliness, and darkness were all part of daily life.

"Hearing you say that, I feel relieved. Thank you for your cooperation. They will definitely come to save you. I indeed have no way to deal with this unknown thing that is no longer human, but they or they should be different."

Su Xiao stood up and walked out of the dungeon.

"You won't have a good end!"

The Soul Speaker suddenly became excited, intending to pounce on Su Xiao, but was strangled by the little adjutant with a rope.

"Old woman, I'll take you to a very interesting place."

The little adjutant tied the Soul Speaker up with five flowers and three ropes, threw her into a cloth bag, and dragged her out of the dungeon.

Lulunfei Palace, night, 11:27 PM.

The Old Saint King was sitting on a recliner in the bedroom, holding a book in his hand, and the steam lamp in the room emitted a faint light.

Creak~

The door was pushed open, and Su Xiao, carrying a large cloth bag, walked into the bedroom.

"Smooth?"

The Old Saint King closed the book. On the wooden table beside him, light night snacks such as tea and snacks were already prepared, as well as a chair.

"Quite smooth, there were some small misunderstandings during the period."

"Small misunderstandings?"

"Not a big deal."

Su Xiao and the Old Saint King simply narrated the battle with the Moon Apostles in Eagle Castle.

"These Moon Apostles, believing in gods has made them stupid."

The Old Saint King shook his head with a smile. His evaluation of those Moon Apostles was surprisingly consistent with Su Xiao's: a group of idiots.

"I brought the Eagle Marquis."

Su Xiao pulled open the binding rope of the large cloth bag, threw it in front of the Old Saint King, and sat on the chair beside him. The black tea was still warm.

"Old partner, this meeting, you are a bit embarrassed."

The Old Saint King looked at the Eagle Marquis in the cloth bag, and his eyes were inevitably complicated.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The Old Saint King took out a small glass bottle from the dark groove of the wooden table. The small glass bottle was tightly sealed, and inside was a transparent solution.

Su Xiao took the small glass bottle handed by the Old Saint King, and the hint from the Reincarnation Paradise made his hand pause.

【You have obtained Soul Source (High Purity).】

【Soul Source (High Purity)】

Seeing the effect of the Soul Source, Su Xiao immediately thought of what ability to improve with it, which was Green Qing Qing Gang Ying. Because his luck in the recent worlds wasn't good, he didn't find high-level biological energy suitable for improving the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying ability, causing the level of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying to be stuck at lv. 45.

Soul Source can be used to improve Su Xiao's 4 abilities, namely: Demon Seal, Goddess's Attachment, Breath Release, Green Qing Qing Gang Ying.

"Kuku Lin, handle the Soul Speaker side according to the situation. The stupid things those people did, if it weren't for the Goddess covering it up..."

The Old Saint King didn't continue. Some things, even if it were him, were powerless. During the war, he couldn't turn against the Moon Goddess at all, and the game that started after the war, the Soul Speaker acted as a fuse.

"Kukulin, handle the Soul Speaker situation as you see fit. If it weren't for the Goddess covering up the stupid things those people did..."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. The Old Saint King's attitude toward the Soul Speaker was too casual; this wasn't normal.

After some irrelevant conversation, Su Xiao walked out of Lulunfei Palace and headed straight for the south side of the capital.

In the second half of the night, Su Xiao left the imperial capital from the south side and arrived in a forest that didn't occupy a large area. A four-story building was shrouded in darkness. This was the original station of the Ninth Unit in the suburbs of the capital. When the Ninth Unit wasn't disbanded, the surrounding few kilometers were forbidden areas.

Now this four-story building had been abandoned. In this forest at night, basically no one dared to come near here.

The iron gate of the station was opened, and there was a note on it, left by the little adjutant.

Just as Su Xiao entered the station, figures darted out from the nearby forest. These were 29 transcendents Su Xiao had temporarily requisitioned.

Not long after, more than 200 soldiers wearing full armor and holding guns and halberds walked out of the forest in formation, guarding near the four-story building.

Su Xiao walked in a long corridor leading to the underground. After opening the three-story steam door, he arrived at a hall, which was originally the place where the Ninth Unit released secret missions and stored files.

Su Xiao opened an iron door at the innermost part of the underground hall. After passing a very narrow staircase, he entered an underground prison. The Soul Speaker was locked in a dungeon, with the little adjutant and Baha guarding here. ===== CHAPTER 1975 =====

Su Xiao walked through a long corridor leading underground. After opening three layers of steam doors, he arrived at a large hall, which was originally the place where the Ninth Unit issued classified missions and stored files.

Su Xiao opened an iron door at the innermost side of the underground hall. After passing through a very narrow staircase, he entered an underground prison. The Soul Speaker was being held in a dungeon, with the Little Adjutant and Baha standing guard there.
