"Tsk tsk."
Upon entering Heaven Dou City once again, Xiang Yang, despite his past life experiences, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the landscape forged with the power of Soul Masters.
Yes, Xiang Yang and Tang San are currently standing in front of the hundred-meter-high city wall and the city gate, which is ten meters high and ten meters wide. These things are clearly not something that ordinary people could build.
Xiang Yang had made a special inquiry and heard that it was used to defend against Soul Beasts for many years, but now it can only be a real "landscape". It also reminded him of the Wall of Life in a certain mecha movie.
Hearing the commotion, Tang San, who was behind him, asked listlessly, "What's going on?" He wondered where all these guards came from today, and that they had to check him before he could enter the city.
As for Dugu Bo? How could he possibly stand in line here obediently? Besides, Dugu Bo separated from the two of them after leading them out of Sunset Forest. He is, after all, Titled Douluo, and has residences both inside and outside the city. It's just that because of his own Martial Soul, he rarely enters the city, and this habit hasn't changed even now.
"It's nothing, it's just that this city is quite..." Xiang Yang was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"When the Crown Prince travels, all other travelers must give way!"
A powerful voice rang out, and the previously noisy crowd immediately fell silent.
Tang San suddenly realized, "So it's the Crown Prince of the Empire traveling. No wonder it's so troublesome today." Although Tang San always respected only his elders, he had never really seen such a scene in his previous life, and he looked on with some curiosity.
Xiang Yang was unmoved by the scene; after all, he'd seen so many movies and TV shows that he was already numb to it, so what was this?
The hidden identity of this crown prince is quite interesting. She is the holy maiden of the Qian Family the Spirit Hall, Martial Soul of Six-Winged Angel, Innate Level 20 Soul Power, and is someone who has received the inheritance of the Angel God.
For a moment, everyone on the street stared at the exquisite royal carriages. Every soldier in the procession was dressed in gold and white armor, which was embroidered with the Swan, the royal Martial Soul of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Whoosh!
Just as the tense atmosphere was about to end, someone in the crowd suddenly rushed towards one of the carriages. And he was just a signal. Next, dozens of Soul Masters used their Soul Skills to attack the group. They didn't utter a sound the whole time, like suicide soldiers.
"How dare you!" "Protect His Highness the Crown Prince!" "Where did these thieves come from?" "Damn it!" "Why at this time?"...
The soldiers, who appeared to be well-protected, were thrown into complete chaos by this sudden assassination attempt, proving that their previous formation was merely a facade.
Both Xiang Yang and Tang San possessed Spiritual Power above the Soul Saint. They noticed the people's movements as soon as they began, realizing that these people were clearly prepared. Not wanting to get involved, they withdrew from the crowd early on.
Bang! Bang!
Those assassins deliberately threw attacking Soul Skills into the crowd, and the Soul Masters subconsciously used their own Soul Skills to defend.
Boom!
In an instant, flames shot everywhere, and explosions rang out incessantly.
Xiang Yang and his companion were already a hundred meters away, taking in the entire scene. "Good heavens, we just arrived and we've already witnessed the Crown Prince's assassination attempt. What a coincidence!" Xiang Yang couldn't help but remark. This plot felt so familiar; was someone going to come to the rescue, form a bond with the Crown Prince, and then...?
Tang San shrugged. "Who knows? But it seems we won't be able to enter the city anytime soon."
Just then, a young man dressed in cyan clothes approached them from a short distance away and said, "You two brothers have impressive agility. I am Feng Xiaotian!"
"Hmm?" This name sounds familiar. Xiang Yang immediately realized that this person was the one who had Innate Full Soul Power but delayed his Soul Power cultivation because he wanted to Self-Created Soul Skills.
However, these are all their own choices, and Xiang Yang wouldn't make any comments. But why is he here?
Seeing that the two ignored him, Feng Xiaotian continued to approach, speaking in a familiar tone, "I'm from the Godwind Academy. Judging from your ages, you must be here to participate in the Soul Master Tournament, right?"
The Godwind Academy is located near Hurricane Canyon, where wind attribute energy is abundant, resulting in a large number of different types of wind attribute Soul Beasts inhabiting the area. This naturally attracts a large number of wind attribute Soul Masters, eventually leading to the proposal to establish the Godwind Academy.
They were also the closest of the Five Elements Academy to Heaven Dou City, and coupled with their natural speed, they were always the last to arrive, arriving just after the assassination attempt.
Originally, they also wanted to mind their own business, but Feng Xiaotian was an impatient fellow. Seeing two skilled fighters, he couldn't help but step forward to exchange words.
The vice dean in charge of the team Shu Yan, let him go. This kid had been training under his guidance recently and was feeling stifled. It wouldn't be bad if he could make a friend or two on this trip.
"Yes, that's right, we are Shrek... the former students of the Blue Tyrant Academy." Xiang Yang spoke to him with a hint of curiosity, while Tang San remained quiet to the side. His Spiritual Power told him that the middle-aged man not far away was very powerful, at least Soul Saint or higher.
"It's a bit boring."
Meanwhile, the melee continued on the other side. In the third carriage of the procession, Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of Tiandou was in a surprisingly lazy manner, even commenting on the fighting outside.
"Protect His Highness!" an ordinary soldier shouted, trying to gather his comrades together, but he attracted the attention of a five-ring Soul Master, who was blasted to pieces by a fireball.
These similar scenes played out one after another, but the master and servant inside the carriage seemed oblivious to them.
"Your Saintess Hall, perhaps I should have them hurry up?" In the spacious room, a person suddenly appeared from the other side; it was none other than the Snake Lance Douluo who had been protecting Qian Renxue for many years.
She, resembling Xue Qinghe, thought for a moment and said, "Alright, go ahead."
"Yes!"
He vanished from the scene in a flash.
In fact, such assassination attempts are not uncommon. Many of them are even staged by Qian Renxue herself in order to eliminate people planted by others and to make it easier to plant people of her own.
This wouldn't have happened normally, but something had put her in a bad mood, so she made up an excuse to go out. Unexpectedly, someone came knocking on her door, but unfortunately, their abilities weren't that great.
After receiving the order, the Spirit Hall spies who were originally in the team no longer concealed their strength. After killing several Soul Masters who were obviously the leaders, the farce quickly came to an end.
Xue Qinghe was originally too lazy to let people continue to hunt him down. They were just small fry anyway, and killing them would be useless if the mastermind wasn't found. He also didn't think he had the strength to do so, so it was better to keep them for later recruitment.
But then she thought again, and realized that with this incident, her trip to clear her head was off. After all, what kind of prince could remain unscathed after being assassinated and still leave the city? In a bad mood, she ordered Snake Lance, "Go and kill them all."
Snake Lance was somewhat puzzled. His Highness didn't seem like a bloodthirsty person, but killing those people didn't matter; he would simply obey orders. "Yes, Your Highness!"
