Questioning

On the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's side, the people responsible for welcoming this convoy were Ning Fengzhi's two closest elders, Bone Douluo Gu Rong and Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

The Gu Rong tree was withered and emaciated, its face like that of a sick ghost, with almost no plump muscles on its body, only a thick skeleton.

The man was over eighty years old and possessed the [Bone Dragon] Martial Soul, a unique Martial Soul whose strangeness was no less than that of the [Gui Mei].

Gu Rong's Soul Power cultivation has reached level 95, on par with Gui Mei Demon.

When he stepped forward, the inexplicable chill instantly subsided.

Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.

Yue Guan stood aside and chuckled, "What's this? A show of force?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong paused, realizing that it was inappropriate to offend these people, and could only abandon the confrontation.

Seeing that the other party had actually retreated, Gui Mei did not retaliate, as he was not by nature such an arrogant personality.

At this moment, Chen Xin stepped forward, putting some pressure on everyone.

"Old Sword..." Yue Guan said solemnly.

The address made Chen Xin pause for a moment, then she looked at him with hostility. "You're still as unreliable as ever."

The Titled Douluo across the entire continent form a small circle, and each of them has had some interaction with other Douluo in their youth.

Coincidentally, Chen Xin was also a genius with outstanding Talent among Soul Masters of the same level back then. In order to cultivate the Sword Dao, he had many conflicts with others.

As his fame spread throughout the mainland, those past events eventually became mere anecdotes.

After being promoted to Titled Douluo, Chen Xin continued to advance bravely and diligently. He now has Soul Power of Level 96 and is known as the [Continent's Number One Attack Titled Douluo].

Its Martial Soul is called the Seven Kill Sword, which is a top-tier Martial Soul no less powerful than the Clear Sky Hammer.

In the Soul Master system, after level 95, the gap between each level is enormous. That's why Gui Mei dared to confront Gu Rong head-on, but wasn't confident in dealing with Chen Xin.

Of course, if Ghost Chrysanthemum uses Martial Soul Fusion Skill, that would be a different story.

However, they were not there to fight, so after Chen Xin intervened, Ghost Chrysanthemum and the other person became much more restrained.

"Where is Lord of the Clouds?" To avoid offending anyone, he did not use his Mental Power to investigate the carriage.

At this moment, another person stepped down from the carriage. Upon hearing the sound, Chen Xin hurried forward and was about to greet him when he met Dugu Bo's gaze.

Chen Xin: "..."

Dugu Bo: "..."

Both of their expressions were somewhat subtle.

Zhou You and Dugu Yan were the last to get out of the carriage. They saw the two of them standing there staring at each other, wondering what they were doing.

This time, Chen Xin learned from her mistake and waited patiently for a while, but unfortunately, no one else got off the carriage.

His eyes gradually became somewhat unfocused. He turned to look at Yue Guan and the others. "Where is Lord of the Clouds?"

"He's right here." Yue Guan with an expression of anticipation.

Only then did Dugu Bo realize why everyone hadn't returned to the Spirit Hall but had come here. His expression gradually turned strange, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhou You.

But the kid seemed completely detached, as if he hadn't noticed that he was the center of attention.

"Didn't you want to see your sect leader? Please lead the way."

Chen Xin was somewhat surprised to see that the person speaking was merely a Soul King. He couldn't help but look Zhou You up and down, unsure of his intentions.

The child showed no fear in his presence, displaying instead a commanding presence, but... how dare a Soul King speak to him like that?

Seeing that Chen Xin didn't speak but just looked at him, Zhou You knew what the other was wondering about, so he turned his head to meet Chen Xin's gaze.

"I am Lord of the Clouds."

"This..." Even with Chen Xin's experience and state of mind, he was momentarily stunned.

Gu Rong was also greatly shocked, and her first reaction, like everyone else's, was disbelief.

Is this a conspiracy by the Spirit Hall? Or is it a deliberate insult to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

A teenager claims to be "Lord of the Clouds" himself—how old was he when he wrote that masterpiece?

Who would make up such a lie!

Just as Gu Rong was about to say something, he saw Chen Xin raise his hand and stop him from saying the words that were about to come out of his throat.

"Please!" Chen Xin said in a deep voice.

This surprised the several Titled Douluo present, and even Zhou You was somewhat taken aback, after all, he knew how deceptive his appearance could be.

He simply nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

Led by Chen Xin, the group transferred to the official carriages prepared by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The carriages were larger and surrounded by stronger defenses.

Clearly, Ning Fengzhi had also heard about the assassination attempt on Lord of the Clouds from Xue Qinghe, and therefore arranged a much stronger defense force than usual, even deploying the two Titled Douluo, Jian and Gu.

It should be noted that even the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe might not receive such treatment under normal circumstances.

As the strongest among them, Chen Xin naturally had to ride in the same carriage as Zhou You.

Before actually entering the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's headquarters, Chen Xin intentionally tested them.

He had also read that Thesis back then, and while he gained some inspiration, he also accumulated many questions.

Since the little boy in front of me calls himself "Lord of the Clouds," he should be able to offer some unique insights, right?

If not, then it proves that the other party is not someone the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect needs at all. At that time, Chen Xin will naturally not do anything to the other party, but he will also not let him see Ning Fengzhi.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is not a sect that can be bullied by others, not even the Spirit Hall!

The atmosphere was tense from the start. Zhou You remained calm, but Dugu Yan was terrified by the faint Sword Qi emanating from Chen Xin, her face turning pale.

Dugu Bo was heartbroken to see this and wanted to protect the girl behind him, but she hid behind Zhou You and didn't even look at her own grandfather.

Dugu Bo: "..."

It was that same heart attack feeling again. Dugu Bo felt that if he continued like this, he would die young!

"Mr. Lord of the Clouds, I have read your works and have a few questions. I wonder if you would be willing to enlighten me?"

"I dare not presume to offer my guidance. Senior, if you have any questions, I will answer them to the best of my knowledge."

"Alright, so about the Spirit Body..." He started with the most difficult question.

In Zhou You's "Five-Layer Body" Thesis, only the [Spirit Body] touches upon the deeper layers of the soul, a realm that even Super Douluo finds difficult to explain.

But Chen Xin is different. His [Sword Dao] is based on enlightenment and requires deep exploration of the inner world in order to achieve a profound transcendence of the soul. Therefore, he believes that he has his own understanding in this field.

He wanted to use this most difficult question to test Zhou You's abilities.

However, he was unaware that the content regarding the [Primordial Spirit] was the very foundation of the Mystic Sect cultivation, and in this world, no one understood this matter better than Zhou You.

Upon hearing Chen Xin's question, he immediately understood that this person had embarked on the path of a [Sword Immortal]. Therefore, without hesitation, he offered eight words of advice to Chen Xin's question:

"Excessive rigidity leads to breakage, while skillful flexibility ensures invincibility!"
