A Chance Encounter with the Son of Destiny, Tang San-The Blue Silver Emperor Is the Target!

When Hu Liena asked, Ye Xuan knew she wouldn't reveal anything to anyone.

But secrets kept things safe, and words let things slip. He would only tell the few people who helped him hunt down Ah Yin.

The rest could wait until after they had successfully taken the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.

Ye Xuan knew full well that taking Ah Yin this time would put him in a fight to the death with Tang Hao.

In the future, Tang Hao would undoubtedly make him his number-one target for revenge.

Of course, that was assuming Ye Xuan had bad luck and Tang Hao happened to be there when he subdued Ah Yin.

Looking at Hu Liena, who stood before him with hope written all over her face, Ye Xuan helplessly shook his head.

"Hehe, that's a secret for now. Senior Sister, don't make things difficult for your junior."

The investiture of Spirit Hall's Holy Son and Holy Daughter was one of the few major events in Spirit City.

However, it was an internal Spirit Hall appointment, so no experts from other major factions attended the ceremony.

Word spread quickly. By that very afternoon, news of the appointment had reached the Heaven Dou Empire.

Northwest corner of Heaven Dou Imperial City.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong lay sprawled in her room, her little face scrunched up and her expression gloomy. Antiques and gemstones worth thousands, even tens of thousands, of gold coins littered the floor beside her bed.

It was clear that the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was in a terrible mood.

But the next moment, a somewhat hesitant voice came from beyond the door and reached her ears.

"Miss, the young man you asked us to keep an eye on was appointed Holy Son by Spirit Hall this afternoon!"

At the voice from beyond the door, Ning Rongrong's big, watery eyes instantly filled with little stars.

Before long, the investiture ceremony was over.

Ye Xuan had no idea that word of his and Hu Liena's appointments as Holy Son and Holy Daughter would spread so quickly.

At that moment, he was still thinking about his third Soul Ring.

Lake Heart Island.

Ye Xuan lay on his little bed while Xiao Wu sprawled across his legs, fooling around. Tian Meng leaned against the bed beside him, chatting with him.

"Tian Meng, you told me before—how confident are you that you can bring the Ice and Snow Emperors over to our side?"

At his question, Tian Meng furrowed his brow.

"I can't guarantee it, but Snow Empress and Ice Empress have at most ten thousand years left before their limit. I can sense that there's no way they'll survive that limit when it comes."

Tian Meng paused.

"Of course, as I said, they won't hit that bottleneck for another ten thousand years. Even if they don't join us, they can still survive for another ten thousand years."

Hearing Tian Meng's words, Ye Xuan couldn't help sighing inwardly.

He had the people on his side, but none of the right time or place. Bringing the Ice and Snow Emperors over would be a real challenge.

"What about the Ferocious Beasts sleeping beneath the Star Dou Forest? Have you convinced them for me?"

At the mention of the Ferocious Beasts sleeping beneath the Star Dou Forest, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's face instantly went pale.

He started to say something, but Ye Xuan cut him off.

"Don't bother. I know. They absorbed all the million-year essence in your body, after all. Even without me, they could keep living for tens of thousands of years."

"Tomorrow, I'll bring a new companion. Given her circumstances, there's a good chance she'll develop a new consciousness after I subdue her. You two, make sure you don't bully her."

The next day.

Outside Spirit City.

Disguised, Ye Xuan boarded an inconspicuous carriage.

His status was different now, and it was essential to disguise his appearance whenever he traveled.

Inside the carriage, Falling Devil Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo had already been waiting for some time.

The Worship Hall and Pope Palace had always been at odds because of Bibi Dong, but they could tell that the Grand Pontiff seemed intent on grooming Ye Xuan.

The Grand Pontiff had tasked the two of them with protecting Ye Xuan on this journey. His safety was to be their top priority at all times.

"Sixth Worship, Seventh Worship!"

Ye Xuan greeted the two worships respectfully.

"Mm. Sit down."

Soon, Ye Xuan had Sky Dream Ice Silkworm tell Falling Devil Douluo and Thousand Jun all at once where Tang Hao was now and where the Blue Silver Emperor was hidden.

"Hehe, I never thought Tang Hao would be hiding in such a remote place. No wonder we hunted him for years without finding a trace."

It was Thousand Jun Douluo who spoke. He had always had a bad temper, and on top of that, Qian Xunji, the Grand Pontiff's son, had been killed by Tang Hao.

As a result, he was obsessed with killing Tang Hao and wiping out the Clear Sky Sect.

Falling Devil Douluo was his younger brother. Their temperaments were similar, though Falling Devil Douluo was clearly the calmer of the two.

"Brother, our mission is to protect Ye Xuan. Killing Tang Hao is only a side benefit."

At Falling Devil Douluo's words, Thousand Jun Douluo gave a scornful snort.

"Heh. Don't forget, little Qian Xunji grew up under our watch. I don't know why the Grand Pontiff let him go, but if I see him, I'll kill him!"

Thousand Jun Douluo's voice was low and heavy. Yet despite his fury, not a trace of Soul Power escaped from him.

The journey to Holy Soul Village was a long one. To avoid alerting anyone, they barely stopped along the way.

Two days later.

Nuoding City.

Ye Xuan lifted a corner of the curtain, his dark eyes sweeping over the somewhat dilapidated academy outside.

"Nuoding Academy, huh..."

His heart stirred at the sight.

If not for what happened four years ago, Xiao Wu would probably be at Nuoding Academy right now, flirting with Tang San.

But he quickly shook his head.

In the ten years since he'd crossed into Douluo Continent, this was the first time he'd come into indirect contact with Tang San.

This time, he was here to take away Tang San's half-dead mother, and while he was at it, he could finish off his severely injured father.

A little while later.

From the corner of his eye, Ye Xuan caught sight of a young man in a blue-and-white school uniform.

The other boy seemed to sense him as well and turned to look at Ye Xuan.

Two souls from different worlds gazed at each other.

It was only a glance, but Ye Xuan still recognized him as the son of destiny of Douluo Continent, Tang San.

But Ye Xuan quickly lost interest. Tang San had only just broken through to Soul Grandmaster, and he was so weak that Ye Xuan had no interest in treating him as an opponent.

The curtain fell shut. And with that, Ye Xuan and Tang San's first meeting came to an end.

At Nuoding Academy, Tang San watched, slightly dazed, as the carriage flashed past outside the academy.

With his Purple Demon Eye, he could see clearly that the young man seated inside the carriage was exceptionally handsome and refined.
