Encountering the Son of Destiny Tang San, Target: Blue Silver Empress!

Although Ye Xuan knew Hu Liena would not leak the information, he heard her inquiry and remained cautious.

Success relies on secrecy, while loose lips lead to failure. Aside from the core few helping him hunt Ah Yin, he decided it was best to keep the details under wraps until he had successfully taken the Blue Silver Empress.

Ye Xuan was acutely aware that once he took Ah Yin, he would enter a state of irreconcilable enmity with Tang Hao.

In the future, the man would undoubtedly mark him as a primary target for revenge.

Of course, that was assuming his luck was poor and Tang Hao happened to be present when he went to subdue Ah Yin.

Looking at Hu Liena, who stood before him with a face full of anticipation, Ye Xuan shook his head with a helpless smile.

"Hehe, this matter must remain confidential for now. Please, Senior Sister, don't make things difficult for your Junior Brother."

The canonization of the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of Martial Soul Hall was a rare and major event within Martial Soul City.

However, since this was an internal conferral of status within Martial Soul Hall, no powerhouses from other major sects were present on the day of the ceremony.

News of the event spread rapidly, reaching the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire by the afternoon of the same day.

In the northwest corner of the Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong lay in her room with a furrowed brow and a gloomy expression, surrounded by antiques and gemstones worth thousands, if not tens of thousands, of gold coins scattered across the floor.

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

But the very next second, a slightly nervous voice reached her ears from outside the door.

"Young Miss, the young man you asked your subordinates to keep an eye on was canonized as the Holy Son by Martial Soul Hall this afternoon!"

Upon hearing the voice from outside, Ning Rongrong's large, watery eyes instantly filled with sparkling stars.

Before they knew it, the conferral ceremony had concluded.

Ye Xuan had no idea that the news of him and Hu Liena becoming the Holy Son and Holy Maiden would spread so quickly.

At this moment, he was still contemplating his third spirit ring.

Lake Heart Island.

Ye Xuan lay on his small bed, Xiao Wu playfully sprawled across his legs, while Tian Meng leaned against the bed beside him, chatting idly.

"Tian Meng, you mentioned it to me before—what are the odds you can pull the Ice and Snow Emperors into our camp?"

Hearing his inquiry, Tian Meng furrowed his brows slightly.

"To be honest, I can't guarantee anything. However, the Snow Empress and Ice Empress have at most ten thousand years left before their limit. I can sense that they have no chance of surviving past that point."

Having said this, Tian Meng paused.

"Of course, as I said, they will only hit their bottleneck after ten thousand years. Even if they don't reach an agreement with us, they can still survive for another ten thousand years."

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

Of the three factors—heavenly timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony—he only possessed the last one. Persuading the Ice and Snow Emperors would truly be a difficult task.

"What about those fierce beasts sleeping beneath the Star Dou Great Forest? Have you helped me persuade them?"

When Ye Xuan mentioned the fierce beasts slumbering beneath the Star Dou Great Forest, the face of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm instantly turned pale.

He wanted to say something, but Ye Xuan interrupted him.

"Say no more. I know. After all, your million-year essence was absorbed by them. Even without me, they could still survive for tens of thousands of years."

"Tomorrow, I will bring back a new colleague. Given her situation, there is a high probability she will develop a new consciousness after I subdue her. You two must remember not to bully her."

The next day.

Outside Martial Soul City.

After disguising himself, Ye Xuan boarded an inconspicuous carriage.

Now that his status had changed, it was essential to conceal his true appearance whenever he traveled.

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

Although the Worship Hall and the Pope Palace were always at odds due to Bibi Dong, they could sense that the Grand Pontiff seemed to have an intention to groom Ye Xuan.

For this trip, the Grand Pontiff's mission for the two of them was to protect Ye Xuan, with his safety as their absolute priority in every action.

"Sixth Worship, Seventh Worship!"

Ye Xuan bowed respectfully upon seeing the two.

"Mm, sit."

Soon after.

Ye Xuan had the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm dump all the information regarding Tang Hao's current location and the hiding spot of the Blue Silver Empress to Falling Devil and Thousand Jun.

"Hehe, I never expected Tang Hao to be hiding in such a remote place. No wonder we've been hunting him for so many years without a single lead."

The one who spoke was Thousand Jun Douluo; his temper was naturally foul, and that was compounded by the fact that the Grand Pontiff's son, Qian Xunji, had been offed by Tang Hao.

This had resulted in him harboring an immense obsession with butchering Tang Hao and annihilating the Clear Sky Sect.

Falling Devil Douluo was his younger brother, and while their temperaments were quite similar, it was clear that Falling Devil Douluo possessed a calmer disposition.

"Brother, the purpose of our trip is to protect the lad Ye Xuan; killing Tang Hao is merely a secondary objective."

Hearing Falling Devil Douluo's words, Thousand Jun Douluo let out a snort of utter disdain.

"Heh, brother, don't you forget that we watched that lad Qian Xunji grow up. Though I don't know why the Grand Pontiff allowed the other party to leave, the moment I lay eyes on him, I will surely slaughter him!"

Thousand Jun Douluo's voice was muffled, yet despite his intense rage, not a single shred of soul power fluctuation leaked from his body.

The journey to Holy Soul Village was not short, and to avoid alerting the enemy, they had barely stopped to rest along the way.

Two days later.

Nuoding City.

Ye Xuan lifted a corner of the curtain, his pitch-black eyes scanning the somewhat dilapidated academy outside.

"Nuoding Academy, is it..."

Seeing this, a ripple of emotion stirred within his heart.

If not for that accident four years ago, Xiao Wu would likely be at Nuoding Academy right now, flirting and playing around with Tang San.

But he quickly shook his head.

In the ten years since he transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, this was his first indirect encounter with Tang San.

Although his goal this time was to collect his half-dead mother, he could also take the opportunity to finish off his heavily wounded father.

Before long.

The corner of Ye Xuan's eye caught sight of a youth dressed in a blue and white school uniform.

At that moment, the other party seemed to sense something and turned his head to look at Ye Xuan.

Two souls from different worlds gazed at each other from afar.

Even though it was only a glance, Ye Xuan could still recognize that the other party was the Son of Destiny of the Douluo Continent, Tang San.

But soon, Ye Xuan felt a sense of boredom, for the current Tang San had only just broken through to become a Soul Grand Master; his strength was so weak that Ye Xuan had no interest in treating him as an opponent.

The curtain slowly fell, and thus, their first meeting came to an end.

Inside Nuoding Academy, Tang San looked on in a slight daze at the carriage that had flashed past the academy gates.

Possessing the Purple Demon Eye, he had seen very clearly that the person sitting inside the carriage was a youth who looked exceptionally refined and handsome.
