Colluding with Martial Soul Hall

A telepathic message from Yue Guan, filled with anxiety, reached Jin Lingfeng's ears:

"Reporting to the Holy Son!"

"People from the Star Luo Empire's royal family have suddenly found the Flying Cloud Tower!"

Suddenly, Jin Lingfeng's pupils constricted.

He shot up from the sofa.

His expression grave, he exclaimed:

"This is bad, the royal family is here!"

In an instant, Zhu Youzhi and Zhu Zhuqing's faces changed drastically!

"What!"

"The royal family is here? How is that possible!"

"No!"

"If the royal family finds out that the Zhu family is meeting privately with the Martial Soul Hall's Holy Son, it will be a disaster of extinction for the Zhu family!"

Zhu Youzhi was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth. He seemed to have aged considerably in that moment.

Panic flickered in Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes. She anxiously clutched her father's arm. After all, she was still just an 8-year-old child.

"Zhuqing, let's go!"

"Let's get out of here quickly!"

"We absolutely cannot let the royal family find us!"

"Your Highness Holy Son, the situation is urgent. My younger daughter and I will take our leave first..."

However, just as Zhu Youzhi finished speaking, hurried footsteps echoed from the corridor outside. Clearly, a large group of people were rapidly approaching.

This made Zhu Youzhi and Zhu Zhuqing like grasshoppers in hot oil – desperate and helpless, yet unable to break free from the deadly trap...

Seeing this, Jin Lingfeng quickly whispered instructions:

"Patriarch Zhu, Second Miss, do not panic!"

"Wait for my signal to act!"

"We'll claim that three months ago, the Second Miss encountered danger in the Star Dou Great Forest and I rescued her."

"I've come to visit the Second Miss, and Patriarch Zhu, you learned of this and came to express your gratitude..."

Jin Lingfeng laid out his plan. Zhu Youzhi and Zhu Zhuqing were still very worried, but with things having come to this, they could only try. If they failed to deceive them, the Zhu family would likely be utterly destroyed...

After a while, outside the corridor.

A young man in a python robe, with an arrogant gaze, arrived at the private room with a group of guards. He kicked the door open with a single punch!

He roared loudly:

"The Zhu family is colluding with a Martial Soul Hall spy here! Seize everyone inside!"

The person who arrived was the First Prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Weisi!

Immediately after, the surrounding guards rushed into the private room, surrounding Jin Lingfeng, Zhu Youzhi, and Zhu Zhuqing, who were seated on the sofa.

At this moment, Jin Lingfeng stood up coldly.

He stared at the man in the python robe before him and said with a sneer:

"Stop!"

"I am the Martial Soul Hall's Holy Son, Jin Lingfeng!"

"Anyone who dares to make a move will see the Star Luo Empire face the wrath of the Martial Soul Hall!"

His words were arrogant, domineering, and utterly self-important!

In that instant, he stunned everyone!

The entire scene fell into a brief silence, the man in white becoming the focus...

For a moment, the entire private room was deathly quiet.

All the guards showed expressions of apprehension.

A cold glint flashed in Dai Weisi's sinister eyes.

He stared intently at the man in white before him and sneered:

"As far as I know, the Martial Soul Hall's Holy Son, Jin Lingfeng,"

"Died in an assassination attempt in the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial palace two years ago."

"How can you be Jin Lingfeng? Do you really think I, Dai Weisi, am easily fooled?"

Then, he looked at the panicked Zhu family patriarch, Zhu Youzhi, and Zhu Zhuqing on the sofa.

A deeper ruthlessness appeared in his eyes, and he scoffed:

"Patriarch Zhu, I didn't expect it to be you and Zhu Zhuqing colluding with people from the Martial Soul Hall here."

"I will definitely drag you all before my father, the Emperor. The Zhu family is waiting for misfortune!"

Dai Weisi laughed triumphantly as Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Youzhi were imprisoned.

Dai Mubai would have no chance of winning the subsequent battle for the throne.

This meant he would be the next Emperor of the Star Luo Empire!

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youzhi's expression grew even more grim.

Beside him, the young girl Zhu Zhuqing, though trying her best to remain calm, clutched her father's hand, which trembled slightly. A flicker of panic flashed in her dark eyes...

At this moment, a round of applause echoed.

Everyone turned towards the sound, revealing the man in white.

From beginning to end, a faint smile had graced his cheeks, exuding ease and fearlessness.

Jin Lingfeng's gaze swept across the surroundings.

Finally settling on Dai Weisi, he spoke slowly:

"Dai Weisi, I was indeed attacked in the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial palace two years ago."

"However, Elder Ju and Elder Gui brought me back to Martial Soul City, and the Pope spared no effort in healing my injuries."

"Three months ago, I went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain my sixth Soul Ring."

"Coincidentally, I encountered Zhu Zhuqing and members of the Zhu family, who were also there to obtain Soul Rings and were being besieged by Soul Beasts. I then had the accompanying Elder Ju and Elder Gui rescue them."

"This time, I entered Star Luo City specifically to see Zhu Zhuqing."

"When the Zhu clan leader learned of this, he personally came to express his gratitude."

"My identity is rather special, hence my arrangement here. Are there any issues?"

As Jin Lingfeng spoke, he released his aura, a noble presence seemingly ingrained from birth.

Even Dai Weisi, as the First Prince of the Star Luo Empire, accustomed to a life of privilege, felt overshadowed.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhi quickly explained in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, the First Prince, the situation is exactly as the Holy Son has stated."

"I am here solely to thank the Holy Son for saving Zhuqing."

"His Majesty has treated my Zhu family well; how could I possibly harbor any rebellious thoughts?"

Dai Weisi immediately burst into laughter, looking mockingly at Zhu Youzhi before turning to Jin Lingfeng and saying:

"Clan Leader Zhu, the news of the Martial Soul Hall's Holy Son's death."

"My father told me himself. Do you think acting with this person here will be of any use?"

"Guards, seize these three and escort them to the imperial palace to be judged by my father!"

"As you command, Your Highness, the First Prince!"

All the guards raised their spears, advancing towards Jin Lingfeng, Zhu Youzhi, and Zhu Zhuqing.

However, just then!

The surrounding space surged, and a terrifying Soul Power aura erupted, instantly blasting all the guards away!

A man's furious voice rang out in the private room:

"First Prince of the Star Luo Empire, how dare you!"

"You actually dared to order an attack on the Holy Son. Do you truly wish to provoke a war between the Star Luo Empire and our Martial Soul Hall!"

Immediately, two middle-aged men appeared out of thin air on either side of Jin Lingfeng, both with nine Soul Rings spinning beneath their feet.

It was Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei!

The moment they appeared, everyone in the room, except for Jin Lingfeng, felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them!

Dai Weisi's face instantly contorted in shock as he recognized the two.

He quickly bowed ninety degrees, respectfully exclaiming:

"Dai Weisi pays his respects to the esteemed Chrysanthemum Douluo!"

"And pays his respects to the esteemed Ghost Douluo!"

Dai Weisi was inwardly terrified. The appearance of two Titled Douluo confirmed the identity of the man before him; he truly was Jin Lingfeng, the Holy Son of Martial Soul Hall!

On the other side, Zhu Youzhi and Zhu Zhuqing felt a tightness in their chests, but their gazes fixed on Jin Lingfeng were filled with awe and excitement!

All the guards struggled to their feet and knelt on the ground, looking at Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo with fervent admiration.

Seeing this, Jin Lingfeng nodded with satisfaction.

He said with a smile:

"Elder Ju, Elder Gui."

"Please retract your auras quickly."

"Zhu Zhuqing is my friend; do not harm her."

His words were simple, yet they clearly conveyed his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing to everyone present.
