A Trade of Interests, Winning Over the Holy Dragon Sect
Qian Renxue took out a token with angel wings printed on it from her Soul Tool and handed it to the Holy Dragon Sect disciple patrolling the mountain. The latter took the token, nodded, and then quickly turned around and went to the mountain gate to report.
This patrolling disciple was merely a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor Innate Soul Power at Level 5, yet he still adhered to his sect's rules despite being suppressed by Tuoba Xing's Soul Power aura, which showed some courage.
Su He thought he would wait, and he knew where the token Qian Renxue had given him came from. Many people might mistakenly believe that the token came from the Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu, but that was not the case.
This token was used by the former Pope Qian Xunji during his lifetime. It is engraved with a pair of beautiful golden angel wings, representing the authority of the Angel Clan.
The Holy Dragon Sect was one of the Lower Four Sects in its early years. This title was personally bestowed upon them by Qian Xunji, so Tuoba Xi was naturally able to recognize the token.
Su He wasn't worried that Tuoba Xi would see the token and refuse them entry; that would be incredibly tactless of him.
It should be noted that although the former Pope is dead, the Angel Clan still wield considerable influence, and the existence of Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu is no secret; all the prominent figures on the continent know of him.
Su He believed that Tuoba Xi would know what to do.
About twenty minutes later, the disciple who had appeared earlier came to Su He and the others again, indicating that the sect leader invited them in. Su He and Qian Renxue smiled at each other and went inside.
Tuoba Xing was quite surprised by the origin of the token, but he didn't ask any questions. He had a vague guess in his heart that the background of the official and lady he had pledged allegiance to was extremely terrifying, and he couldn't even imagine how powerful they were.
After the sect entrance, there were only steps and paths left. It took the group about ten minutes to enter the Holy Dragon Sect.
The sect has about a dozen buildings, all built in a very grand style and painted white. They are arranged evenly around the central building.
In the central circular plaza of the sect stands a massive sculpture of White Armored Earth Dragon, and the three characters "Holy Dragon Sect" on the plaque above the sect's main gate shine brightly.
Su He and his two companions strode into the sect and were personally greeted by Tuoba Xi, the sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect.
Tuoba Xi was quite knowledgeable about landscapes, and he clearly knew that the guests visiting today were of noble status.
"Welcome to my Holy Dragon Sect, young friends. Please come inside for a chat."
Tuoba Xi spoke politely to Qian Renxue and Su He. Qian Renxue's long golden hair and purple eyes were practically identical to Qian Xunji's, except for the gender.
Tuoba Xi could naturally guess her identity, and Su He, holding Qian Renxue's hand, was clearly Qian Renxue's destined husband. What surprised him even more was...
"Ah Xing, what brings you back?" Tuoba Xi was quite enthusiastic towards Tuoba Xing at this moment. He was genuinely surprised that this neglected grandson could be with Su He and Qian Renxue, and the three of them seemed to be quite familiar with each other.
The three followed Tuoba Xi into the central building. Tuoba Xi sat in the main seat, while Su He and Qian Renxue took their seats in turn.
Apart from Tuoba Xi, an 89th-level Soul Douluo, the Holy Dragon Sect also had three other Soul Douluo- level elders, all of whom were sitting opposite Su He.
After taking a sip of tea, Tuoba Xi spoke first.
"What brings you two young friends from the Spirit Hall to our sect from so far away?"
In short, Tuoba Xi got straight to the point, asking the three of them about their purpose. Su He, however, calmly took a sip of tea and remained silent. Today could be considered Qian Renxue's show; she was the true heir of the Angel Clan.
"Sect Leader Tuoba, I have long admired your name. The White Armored Earth Dragon truly deserves the title of Dragon-type Martial Soul. Meeting you today has broadened my horizons considerably."
Qian Renxue had been an undercover agent in the Heaven Dou Empire for many years, and her skill in exchanging pleasantries was far superior to Su He's. With this one sentence, she first praised the Holy Dragon Sect, and even though the other party knew it was just polite talk, she was still secretly pleased.
It's human nature to like hearing praise, and Tuoba Xi was no exception.
"And the reason for my visit is very simple."
"We hope that Sect Master Tuoba can lend a helping hand to our Angel Clan."
Qian Renxue's voice was calm and firm, causing Tuoba Xi to pause in surprise.
"Miss Qian, I'm afraid I can't help you at this time. As you know, my Holy Dragon Sect has always refrained from participating in the various conflicts on the continent."
Just as Qian Renxue smiled slightly, about to continue speaking, Su He Qian Renxue her a look, indicating that she could leave it to him.
"Haha, Sect Leader Tuoba, you're joking." Su He said with a smile.
"My name is Su He. I am visiting you here on my own initiative because I have a deep friendship with Ah Xing, and he introduced me to you."
"Sect Leader Tuoba, I can promise you that if you agree to what I'm doing today, I will help you break through the Level 90 barrier and become Titled Douluo."
" Among the Upper Three Sects, there is a dragon, but which dragon it will be remains to be seen."
Su He offered the conditions she could provide, which were quite generous for the Holy Dragon Sect.
You must know that the Holy Dragon Sect has been suffering from the lack of Titled Douluo for a long time. Tuoba Xi and these elders have been dreaming that the sect can produce a nine-ring Titled Douluo powerhouse.
Su He clearly had more than just this much leverage, but when it comes to negotiating terms, no one reveals their hand from the start.
Therefore, the conditions Su He offered were merely a test to see how Tuoba Xi would react.
"Young friend Su." At this moment, the Second Elder of the Holy Dragon Sect, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but ask.
"While we are very willing to believe you, breaking through to the Titled Douluo level is not something that can be achieved easily; it also requires opportunity and luck..."
"Second Elder, there's no need to worry. This junior will immediately dispel any concerns you may have, Sect Master Tuoba and all the elders."
Su He smiled slightly and said calmly.
He slowly took out an Earth Dragon Golden Gourd from his Soul Tool, stood up, and placed it in front of Tuoba Xi.
The intense dragon energy emanating from the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd immediately attracted the attention of Tuoba Xi and Elder Ji. As possessors of dragon-type Martial Soul, they were extremely sensitive to dragon energy.
Upon seeing the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Tuoba Xi was completely convinced of Su He's words. He could sense the powerful energy contained within this Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. If he could consume it, breaking through to the next level of cultivation would be a certainty.
"This item is called the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, which I obtained by chance in a treasure land in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"If Sect Master Tuoba agrees, this item will be presented directly!"
