Xuan Qing Was Stunned

Xuan Qing suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Dugu Bo.

"You said Yu Tianheng is pursuing Dugu Yan, but she hasn't agreed yet, right?"

Dugu Bo shook his head.

"Not yet. To be honest, Yan Yan doesn't really think much of him right now. It would have been fine before her martial soul evolved, but now that she outshines him in every aspect, that kid is quite depressed."

Xuan Qing's expression turned serious: "You had better go find your granddaughter."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Xuan Qing explained patiently.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is one thing, but don't forget, there is still a Title Douluo on this continent being hunted by Martial Soul Hall."

Dugu Bo's expression shifted: "You mean... Tang Hao?"

Xuan Qing nodded, confirming his guess.

"That is exactly what I mean. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might show you some respect because you are a Title Douluo, but what about the Tang Family? I don't think I need to elaborate on their style of conduct, do I?"

Dugu Bo's expression changed completely. He certainly knew the style of the Clear Sky Sect; they were incredibly overbearing and capable of doing anything.

"Their methods are even more tyrannical than Martial Soul Hall. At least Martial Soul Hall maintains some semblance of rules on the surface, but them? Heh."

Dugu Bo frowned and asked: "What do you mean?"

Xuan Qing sneered.

"Why do you think that bunch of broken hammers is called the number one tool martial soul under heaven?"

He began to count on his fingers.

"I'll do the math for you, and you'll understand. Yu Yuanzhen has two soul bones, while Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong each have no more than three."

"So the question arises: as members of the Upper Three Sects, why was the Clear Sky Sect able to provide Tang Hao and Tang Xiao with full sets of soul bones, while the other two sects are so destitute?"

Dugu Bo's brow furrowed even deeper; he had truly never considered this.

Xuan Qing revealed the answer directly.

"To put it bluntly, when the Clear Sky Twin Stars traveled the world, they slaughtered high-level soul beasts to harvest them themselves. The rule of Martial Soul Hall that forbids the mass hunting of soul beasts is nothing but a fart in their eyes."

"After all, Qian Daoliu lost to Tang Chen back then. Given the kind of people they are, if they were to run into your granddaughter, do you think they might harbor some ulterior motives, given Dugu Yan's current talent?"

Cold sweat broke out on Dugu Bo, because the Clear Sky Sect was truly capable of such despicable acts.

Xuan Qing twisted the knife further.

"And do you really think they stopped hunting for soul rings after closing the sect? What if others from the Clear Sky Sect run into your granddaughter and get ideas?"

"After all, as long as no mutation occurs, the higher the quality of the parents' martial souls, the higher the talent of the offspring. That is common sense."

"Among the younger generation of women, how many can compare to Dugu Yan?"

Dugu Bo could no longer sit still: "I'm going right now!"

Xuan Qing sighed and grabbed him.

"What are you rushing for? Do you even know where they are? Let's go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy first to ask about their travel route. We will go with you, so you don't go charging headfirst into a hammer in a fit of rage."

Dugu Bo calmed down a bit. The three of them didn't even enter the gates of Heaven Dou City; they turned around and headed straight for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The academy was in the suburbs and occupied a vast area. When the three arrived, it was just time for afternoon classes.

They went straight to find the three education committee members, but to their surprise, there was someone else in the office.

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe! Or rather, Qian Renxue disguised as Xue Qinghe.

Seeing Dugu Bo, Xue Qinghe bowed politely: "Greetings, Your Excellency Dugu."

The three committee members also hurriedly stood up to bow. As a Title Douluo, Dugu Bo was not someone they could afford to provoke.

Moreover, he had recently made a breakthrough, further elevating his status.

Dugu Bo cupped his hands slightly: "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

His tone was quite courteous, as he was there to ask for a favor.

Xue Qinghe's gaze shifted to Xuan Qing and Zi Ji: "I wonder who these two are?"

Dugu Bo introduced them: "This is Young Master Xuan Qing, a friend of mine, and as for this senior..."

Zi Ji glanced at them and released a trace of pressure. It was very faint, but enough to intimidate.

The expressions of the three committee members changed, and Xue Qinghe's pupils constricted.

A Title Douluo! And one even stronger than Dugu Bo!

Meng Shenji asked cautiously: "May I ask what this Excellency's title is?"

Zi Ji paused and spat out two words: "Demon Dragon."

Her true form was the Hell Demon Dragon King, so this title was quite fitting.

At this moment, Qian Renxue's heart was in turmoil.

Having grown up in the Worship Hall, she was extremely sensitive to the presence of Title Douluos. This Demon Dragon Douluo was definitely at least level ninety-seven!

It could be said that apart from her grandfather Qian Daoliu, the other titled elders might not necessarily be able to defeat her with certainty.

Where on earth did these two pop out from? Why was there no information about them before? She was now filled with questions.

Dugu Bo ignored what they were thinking and went straight to the point.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, esteemed committee members, I want to know the travel route of Dugu Yan and the others."

The few of them were slightly stunned.

Xue Qinghe spoke up to inquire.

"Your Excellency Dugu, what do you need that for?"

Dugu Bo's expression turned gloomy as he spoke.

"There is still Tang Hao on the continent being hunted by Martial Soul Hall; do you know where he is right now?"

"I am not worried about the others; with their talent, Tang Hao wouldn't even look at them. But if Dugu Yan really ran into him, could their Spirit Emperor teacher even protect her?"

The expressions of the three committee members also changed. They were indeed in the same camp when it came to opposing Martial Soul Hall, but in private, that was not necessarily the case.

Given the temperament of those from the Clear Sky Sect, it was truly possible given Dugu Yan's current talent!

Qian Renxue's face was incredibly gloomy. Her father died at the hands of Tang Hao, and she knew the danger of Tang Hao better than anyone.

Meng Shenji did not dare to delay and immediately took out a map.

"They set off ten months ago. Their last stop was Suotuo City in the Balaque Kingdom. Although it was a one-year journey, if they moved quickly, they might have already arrived there by now."

Xuan Qing frowned.

This was the first time he had learned such a detailed timeline. According to the original story, Tang San joined Shrek at twelve, was trained by Yu Xiaogang for three months, and participated in spirit fighting for one month.

Calculating it this way...

Xuan Qing's expression was a bit strange. This body of his was about two years younger than Zhu Zhuqing, the youngest of the Shrek Seven Devils.

He knew he was young, but he hadn't expected to be this young! Standing in front of Tang San with his current level...

He wouldn't even need to do anything; Tang San would probably start questioning his own life.

The three of them took the route map and immediately took their leave. After they departed, Xue Qinghe finally spoke.

"Committee member Meng Shenji, could you sense any spirit power fluctuations from that youth just now?"

Meng Shenji thought for a moment, his expression grave.

"It's hard to say. His spirit power is too profound; I have never seen such a person. According to my perception and calculations... I estimate he is already approaching level forty! How is this possible? How old is he?"

Bai Baoshan's eyes widened.

"You're joking, right? That kid looks at most ten years old."

Zhi Lin suddenly spoke up.

"I felt a sense of suppression from him. It shouldn't be called spirit soul suppression; it was the contempt of a superior toward an inferior."

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath.

"I must trouble the three of you to go to the imperial palace and report this matter to my father. I will go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to find my teacher and see if they know any information about these two."

The three committee members nodded, knowing that this matter was not simple and had to be treated with gravity.

Xue Qinghe turned and left, calculating in his heart how he could win them over.
