Soul Ancestor? Impossible!
In that instant!
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
"Who dares to be so bold!?"
Dales glanced at the executioner whose broadsword was broken in two and whose wrist was dislocated, and suddenly stood up, both shocked and furious.
What's infuriating is that someone actually dared to storm the execution ground!
What's astonishing is that the person hiding in the shadows must be far stronger than him to be able to attack at a speed he couldn't even detect!
"I!"
A tender and clear voice rang out.
Not far from where Zhou Qing and the others were, the crowd parted to make way for Ning Rongrong.
At this moment, she was no longer as casual as Zhou Qing had seen her before. She stood up straight, unhurried, and calm. Although her face was still young, her eyes revealed a sharp glint, as if she were incredibly determined.
"This loud and boisterous little girl actually has such a commanding side." Xiao Wu opened her mouth, feeling that there was still so much she needed to learn in the human world.
For example, the multifaceted nature of people.
The Soul Ancestor and Soul King who were protecting Ning Rongrong also revealed themselves at this moment.
Dales opened his mouth, his eyes flashing.
Who started digging on the roads of Falling Star City?
Without a doubt!
It's the little girl right in front of me!
But how could he dare to take her?
If he offends the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and is killed on the spot, no one will stand up for him!
Dales is now at a loss for what to do.
Questioning?
He dared not.
Flattery?
With so many people watching, if he were to actually do that, he would surely lose all his prestige!
"May I ask, young lady, why are you obstructing my duties?"
In the end, Dales chose to save face, pretending not to know the other party, but deliberately lowered his voice, hoping that the other party would not really make a fuss, so that he could save face.
"I was the first one to dig up the roads." Ning Rongrong chuckled and took out thumb-sized Soul Crystal from the four main roads from her pocket. "I think you should arrest me, the ringleader, first."
Dales' face twitched three times, his mouth gaped open, and his head was buzzing—
The system has crashed!
Grasp?
Or should we not arrest them?
If we arrest him, he might die on the spot in an instant!
If he doesn't arrest him, with so many people watching, his prestige will be completely ruined, and everyone will think he's a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong—this person is Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Disciple, who voluntarily confessed his crimes, and he still doesn't dare to arrest him; but this person being forced to kneel on the ground is just an ordinary civilian, so he can be dealt with at will?
In a split second, Dales was overwhelmed with thoughts.
Before he could say anything, he felt an invisible pressure pressing down on him.
Thump!
In an instant, Dales involuntarily slumped down, pushed against the table, and knelt on the ground.
"Let's see who dares!"
An aged voice echoed throughout Falling Star City. An old man with white hair held the Seven Kill Sword, and nine Soul Ring appeared: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
For a moment, the entire room fell silent; no one dared to breathe loudly.
Like a mouse seeing a cat, Xiao Wu snatched the Gray Pouch from Zhou Qing's waist, took out the egg of the Light Goddess Butterfly, put it into her own Waist Pouch, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhou Qing was surprised, thinking to himself: The eggs of the Light Goddess Butterfly have this function?
The sudden appearance of Sword Douluo caught Zhou Qing off guard, but it also made him realize how much Sword Douluo doted on Ning Rongrong.
"Lend me the eggs of the Light Goddess Butterfly for a while." Xiao Wu returned the Gray Pouch to Zhou Qing. "I can't tell you the reason right now."
Tang San frowned slightly, but seeing Zhou Qing nod slightly, he didn't pay much attention.
"Grandpa Sword!"
Ning Rongrong was somewhat displeased, "Why did you suddenly come out?"
"Haha, I was just worried that my precious Rongrong would be bullied by that ignorant pighead, so I, your grandpa, have no choice but to bully him first." Sword Douluo slowly descended from the sky, put away his Martial Soul and Soul Ring, picked up Ning Rongrong, and laughed loudly.
"I beg Your Crown's forgiveness!"
The oppressive aura surrounding Dales dissipated at that moment, but he no longer dared to care about saving face and remained prostrate on the ground.
The executioners and guards on the field also bowed down in worship.
The civilians outside the arena also knelt down.
Among Zhou Qing's group, Romantina and You Hui also wanted to kneel down, but Zhou Qing stopped them, saying, "It's alright, Sword Douluo has a good temper and doesn't approve of this kind of behavior."
Sword Douluo naturally noticed Zhou Qing and his group of five, who stood out from the crowd, but he didn't pay them any mind. He simply said, "Get up, all of you. How can you speak while kneeling?"
"Yes! Yes, yes!"
Dales immediately stood up, and the executioner, guards, and civilians on the periphery also carefully stood up.
"Grandpa Sword, put me down."
Ning Rongrong jumped down from Sword Douluo's arms and said to Dales, "Pig Officer, let's get back to the topic. I was the one who dug the road first. Everyone else, including this poor man, was just copying me. If you want to cut off his head, you have to cut off my head first."
Dales was sweating profusely. He glanced furtively at the Sword Douluo beside Ning Rongrong, and immediately said, "I wouldn't dare!"
"Oh? You mean you want to do this, but you're just afraid of the power of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Ning Rongrong asked with interest.
"No! No! Absolutely not!"
Dales was so frightened that he withdrew his Martial Soul and hurriedly said, "This is my dereliction of duty, this person is innocent! Release him!"
"Thank you, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Thank you, Your Excellency!"
The man thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly, the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect appeared out of nowhere and saved his life.
"Senior Sword Douluo! I have something to say!"
Although the appearance of Sword Douluo was beyond Zhou Qing's expectations, with the prestige of Titled Douluo, it was a good opportunity to borrow the opponent's momentum.
When Dales saw Zhou Qing, he felt that he looked familiar, and then he remembered: Isn't he one of the members of the champion team of the Friendly Tournament?
Looking at the people around him— Tang San, Xiao Wu, Romantina ... Dales frowned, sensing that what these people were about to say was probably related to him.
"Oh? What is it?"
What surprised Dales even more was that Sword Douluo was actually willing to get involved! It was truly unbelievable!
"We are studying at the Nuoding Academy in Nuoding City, so we are considered Nuoding City residents. We came to Falling Star City on a mission from Lord Notting to hunt down a Soul Ancestor. He was an accomplice of the Soul Grandmaster who once attacked the Lord of Nuoding at night."
Zhou Qing began by revealing the purpose of their visit to Falling Star City, "But after arriving in Falling Star City, we conducted a thorough investigation and discovered a shocking secret: the Soul Ancestor actually has connections with the city lord of Falling Star City..."
"Child, don't spout nonsense!"
Dales immediately interrupted Zhou Qing, shouting,
"Are you trying to say that I was the mastermind behind sending people to raid Xiao Lang in Nuoding City? What a joke! The people of Nuoding City and Falling Star City all know that I am cooperating with Xiao Lang to hold a triennial Friendly Tournament. On a small scale, it will deepen the friendship between Falling Star and Notting, and on a larger scale, it will bring peace to the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou!"
"Besides, my Falling Star City isn't very big. The strongest person here is just a Soul Elder, which is me."
"The Soul Ancestor? It's impossible for it to exist!"
