The Astonished Xue Ye: How Could He Be So Bold?

Ye Mu clapped his hands.

As calm as if he had just swatted away a mosquito.

The other Soul Masters stared in stunned silence, completely dumbfounded.

A Soul Douluo—that was a powerhouse at the Soul Douluo level.

Yet he had been slapped away with one huge smack?

This man was terrifying beyond measure!

"Y-you, who exactly are you?"

Even a Soul Saint's voice trembled as he spoke.

He simply could not comprehend how a Soul Douluo above level eighty had been sent flying by a single slap.

What an utterly shocking sight that had been.

Ye Mu could not even be bothered to respond and simply headed outside.

The Soul Masters did not dare stop him, afraid they would meet the same fate as the Soul Douluo.

Xue Ke rolled her eyes and said, "It's safest by Master Ye's side. Don't provoke Master Ye for no reason. You should go back."

With that, she quickly followed Ye Mu outside.

The Soul Masters looked at one another.

The situation had already exceeded what they could handle. They could only return and report it first.

The Soul Masters rode at full speed and soon arrived at the Imperial Palace.

When Xue Ye heard what had happened, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"A Soul Douluo was slapped away? Th-this, this..."

It was unbelievable!

That had been an expert at the Soul Douluo level.

How could he have been defeated so easily?

And they had not even found him yet. No one knew where he had been sent flying.

"Your Majesty, that Master Ye's cultivation is extremely profound. I fear... I fear he may already be a Title Douluo-level powerhouse."

"A Title Douluo?"

Xue Ye stared wide-eyed.

Ye Mu had appeared in Heaven Dou City several years ago.

Xue Ye knew he was an expert, but he had assumed that he was, at most, a Soul Saint.

But now they were saying he was a Title Douluo?

A Title Douluo powerhouse had come to Heaven Dou City and hidden there for years!

If that man had wanted to do anything before, perhaps no one could have stopped him.

At that thought, cold sweat broke out across his body.

As for Ye Mu's identity...

Xue Ye had investigated it.

But everything was too mysterious. He could not uncover any background at all.

It was as though Ye Mu had appeared out of thin air, leaving nothing to investigate.

"Could he be from Spirit Hall?"

Xue Ye's expression immediately turned grim.

A Spirit Hall Title Douluo had approached Xue Ke. He surely had no good intentions.

Especially now that Xue Ke had received a reward.

"A Divine Tool—he must have come for the Heart of Universe!"

Xue Ye suddenly looked up and made a swift decision.

"Summon Poison Douluo at once!"

To deal with a Title Douluo, only another Title Douluo would do.

The closest one right now was Poison Douluo!

If that was not enough, he would ask the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to act.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two Title Douluo were exceptionally powerful. There would surely be no problem.

The Soul Saint immediately set off for Poison Douluo's residence.

Aside from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo also had a private residence in Heaven Dou City.

Xue Ye wanted to see just what the mysterious Master Ye was capable of.

How could he be so bold?

This was the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Did he think that, as a Spirit Hall Title Douluo, the Heaven Dou Empire would not dare take action against him?

Who knew how many people were watching Xue Ke now. Xue Ye had to protect her well.

Xue Ke might become a key figure in the Heaven Dou Empire's future.

She possessed the top-tier Jade Swan Martial Soul, was already a level-sixty Soul Emperor, and had a Divine Tool at her side.

With such qualifications, Spirit Hall would absolutely not let the matter rest!

At that moment, Ye Mu was wandering through the streets.

The streets were bustling, and many people were discussing the Sky Screen.

The Sky Screen had vanished after asking five questions and would not appear again for another six days.

The busiest places now were likely the libraries and bookshops.

Judging from the Sky Screen's questions, many of them concerned knowledge of the Soul Master world.

That was why everyone now needed to cram as much knowledge as possible.

Perhaps if they were lucky, they might become a respondent?

As long as they answered one question correctly, they could soar to greatness in an instant.

They might even become figures capable of ruling Douluo Continent and influencing the course of events.

Just like Qian Renxue.

After answering correctly, she had advanced straight to Title Douluo.

And she had also obtained the Angel God King Inheritance!

Everything pointed to her becoming someone capable of influencing Douluo Continent in the future.

They did not ask to be like Qian Renxue.

They only hoped to gain powerful cultivation and change their fate against the heavens.

"Master Ye, everyone is talking about the Sky Screen."

Xue Ke looked at the surrounding crowd.

She was wearing a veil now, or she would have been recognized.

"The Sky Screen is an opportunity for ordinary people to change their lives. Naturally, everyone wants to fight for it."

"Besides, as long as they have enough knowledge, they can answer correctly."

"By that calculation, it's a low-cost, high-return investment."

Ye Mu had no interest in the Sky Screen's rewards.

But he vaguely sensed that, as the Sky Screen's questions continued, he might eventually be exposed.

Perhaps not directly.

But it was also possible that he would be exposed from various angles.

So, the next time the Sky Screen appeared, should he just smash it apart?

Ever since the Sky Screen had appeared, Douluo Continent had already become turbulent.

He had not gone to investigate directly.

But his abilities allowed him to judge from the traces of aura lingering in the air.

Some major events might happen soon.

As the Sky Screen continued asking questions, some experts hidden deep in the shadows might be exposed.

Their existence would inevitably spark competition among various factions.

So the Sky Screen really was not a good thing.

"Why doesn't Master Ye participate in Sky Screen Q&A? Isn't it a good thing?"

Xue Ke had never been able to understand.

With such generous rewards, was Master Ye truly not tempted?

And he seemed to know the answers to many of the questions.

If he participated, he would definitely receive rewards.

"Not interested."

Ye Mu's answer was that simple.

The rewards that seemed extraordinarily abundant to others...

Were things he could make with his own hands.

A God King Divinity inheritance?

Even Ye Mingzhao had been raised by him.

Though Ye Mingzhao had no Divinity.

The Undead Race Bloodline was far more advanced than a God King Divinity.

As for things like Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings...

He held them in even less regard.

Why would he need the Sky Screen to give him toys he could create at will?

All things considered, the Sky Screen was just trash to him.

Xue Ke scratched her cheek.

Fine, Master Ye was simply too indifferent.

Other than food, he had no interest in anything else.

She really wondered whether anything besides food could make him even a little interested.

Within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Poison Douluo had already been summoned.

He was currently in Xue Ye's bedchamber.

Xue Ye's health had been poor for many years.

Poison Douluo knew that he had been poisoned.

Although he was highly skilled with poison, the person who had poisoned Xue Ye had used exceptionally vicious methods.

Several poisons had been mixed together, and even he could not neutralize them.

"Your Majesty, why did you summon me so urgently?"

Poison Douluo asked. Xue Ye did not seem to be in particularly good condition.

The poison should have begun spreading.

Xue Ye leaned against the headboard, his expression solemn. "Poison Douluo, do you know that Xue Ke received a reward?"

"I do. Princess Xue Ke is exceptionally talented."

"What I am worried about now is that child Xue Ke's safety. She is by that Master Ye's side. I suspect Ye Mu may be a Title Douluo sent by Spirit Hall to approach Xue Ke!"

At those words, Dugu Bo's expression changed.

A Spirit Hall Title Douluo?
