"Breathtaking!"

"When did a monster like this appear on the continent?"

The impassioned shouts snapped Ning Fengzhi back to his senses. After sighing in amazement, he recalled the formidable combat strength Na'er had displayed in the fight just now, and his eyes burned with fervor.

This girl—their Seven Treasures Glazed Sect had to have her.

With the Golden Dragon spirit, plus Ning Rongrong's support, who under heaven could possibly be a match for the two of them?

Not even Spirit Hall could do it!

"Fengzhi!"

Gu Rong turned to look at Ning Fengzhi. He said nothing, but after so many years as partners, a single glance was enough for them to understand what the other was thinking.

What terrifying destructive power. Why do I feel like even I might not be Na'er's match in close combat?

A flash of amazement crossed Qian Renxue's eyes, and then she thought in disbelief.

She shook her head, dispelling the absurd thought in her mind.

Impossible. I'm almost a Soul Emperor already. Even if the Angel Spirit isn't good at close combat and is relatively weak in strength, there's still a gap of more than thirty ranks. How could I possibly not be Na'er's match?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

The Angel Spirit is inferior to no one. Even Xiao Yuan and Na'er can only be suppressed by me.

After firming up her conviction, Qian Renxue's eyes quietly flicked toward Ning Fengzhi beside her.

She knew this old fox Ning Fengzhi had definitely already begun scheming about how to win over Jiang Yuan and Na'er.

He might even resort to a honey trap.

But a trace of mockery flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes. None of you could ever know that Jiang Yuan and Na'er had long since become people of Spirit Hall, and were even Spirit Hall's holy son and holy maiden.

News that Spirit Hall had conferred the titles of holy son and holy maiden had already spread across the continent long ago. It was just that, in order to protect Jiang Yuan and Na'er, their appearances had only circulated among the upper ranks and were not familiar to outsiders.

So when it came to Spirit Hall's holy son and holy maiden, the soul master world had always only heard their names and never seen their faces.

Even Ning Fengzhi had not managed to find out information about the two of them, which showed just how strict Spirit Hall was when it came to secrecy.

"Lingling, pinch me. This can't be real, right?"

"Is she even human?"

Dugu Yan's eyes were wide, and Ye Lingling beside her had also lost the calm she had just shown. Deep shock was revealed in both girls' eyes.

"Freak."

"Big brother, are you confident you could block one punch from her?"

Shi Mo fell somewhat silent at the question. Against Yu Tianheng, the two of them could still rely on the powerful defense of the Black Tortoise to maneuver around him. Yu Tianheng even had no way to break through their defense and could only be dragged into a prolonged battle.

But looking at Na'er's destructive power, they suspected that even if a Soul Ancestor from their clan came, he might be killed by a single punch.

Although Jiang Yuan and Na'er had already left the Great Spirit Fighting Arena, the storm they had stirred up spread across the Heaven Dou Empire at an extremely rapid speed.

In just half a day, everyone knew that two young people had come to Heaven Dou City.

One of them, a girl, had beaten Yu Tianheng, one of the Blue Lightning Twin Stars, so badly that he would need to lie in bed for a month before he could get up.

This undoubtedly gave the younger generation of the Heaven Dou Empire a tremendous shock.

For a time, countless gazes turned from all over the Heaven Dou Empire and fell upon Heaven Dou City.

Jiang Yuan and Na'er knew nothing of this, nor did they care. After Na'er had had her fill of strolling around, the two shook off the tails behind them and turned a corner.

The street here was empty, forming a stark contrast with the lively atmosphere outside.

A figure suddenly flashed into view. It was an old man dressed in gray robes.

"Holy Son, Holy Maiden, the Young Master has sent a letter. She wishes to meet you."

"Sister Xue'er's identity makes it unsuitable for her to meet us outside. Na'er and I will go to Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City first and wait there for Sister Xue'er to come."

Jiang Yuan nodded and looked calmly at Ghost Leopard Douluo.

This was the bodyguard Spirit Hall had arranged for Jiang Yuan and Na'er. There were two in total, both Titled Douluo.

The other was one of the few female Titled Douluo in Spirit Hall, Spirit Kite Douluo.

This level of security was already on par with Qian Renxue's.

"This subordinate will make the arrangements at once." Ghost Leopard Douluo nodded, offering not the slightest opinion, and silently vanished from where he stood.

"This way. We won't be discovered."

Jiang Yuan took Na'er's hand and walked deeper into the street. Spirit Hall had a stronghold here, which led directly to the branch hall of Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City, so there was no need to worry about outsiders seeing them.

Even if Jiang Yuan and Na'er were unlucky and someone saw them entering and leaving Spirit Hall, Jiang Yuan did not care.

If they found out, then they found out. He had never had any intention of hiding his identity.

Inside Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City.

Heaven Dou Bishop Salas looked respectfully at the young man and young woman before him.

In the vast main hall, there were only five people: Jiang Yuan, Na'er, Salas, Ghost Leopard Douluo, and Spirit Kite Douluo.

"Bishop Salas, how much do you know about Yuexuan?"

At Jiang Yuan's question, Salas's heart stirred, and a fawning look flashed through his eyes. Jiang Yuan and Na'er were Spirit Hall's Holy Son and Holy Maiden.

And Jiang Yuan's relationship with Qian Renxue was no ordinary one either.

Spirit Hall's upper ranks had already reached a consensus: the future pope would emerge from between Jiang Yuan and Qian Renxue.

Salas felt that he had to cling tightly to such a powerful patron.

Besides, there were also two Titled Douluo elders present. As a mere Soul Douluo bishop, Salas would never dare to obey outwardly while opposing in secret.

"Reporting to the Holy Son, Yuexuan has been established for many years. It was founded by Tang Yuehua, the daughter of the Clear Sky Sect's previous sect master."

"Tang Yuehua herself has poor talent, and her soul power has never broken through rank ten. However, her mutated martial soul has a Noble Domain, which is highly effective in cultivating a person's bearing. Coupled with the Clear Sky Sect's support back then, Tang Yuehua was able to put down roots in Heaven Dou City."

"Over the years, she has maintained very deep connections with the nobles of Heaven Dou City."

"This subordinate suspects that the Clear Sky Sect has also kept contact with the Heaven Dou imperial family, and Yuexuan may be their 'informant.'"

"If I remember correctly, the agreement between Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect back then was that members of the Clear Sky Sect were not permitted to leave their ancestral land, correct?"

"Otherwise, it would be equivalent to leaving the sect, and they would no longer be protected by the Grand Pontiff's promise. Yet Spirit Hall has not taken down Yuexuan all these years?"

Jiang Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop and looked at Salas expressionlessly.

They clearly knew that Tang Yuehua was Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's younger sister, a direct descendant among direct descendants, yet they had still allowed her to remain at large, continuously managing connections for the Clear Sky Sect, and even helping the Clear Sky Sect amass wealth and gather resources.

Otherwise, with those few poor, remote plots of land the Clear Sky Sect had, how could it possibly support several hundred assault-type soul masters waiting hungrily to be fed?

Wasn't it all because Tang Yuehua had been outside all this time, sending aid to the Clear Sky Sect?

"This subordinate deserves death!"

"This subordinate neglected Yuexuan. I humbly beg the Holy Son for punishment!"

When Salas heard Jiang Yuan's words, cold sweat poured down his back in fright, and he dropped to his knees in a smooth slide.

Regardless of whether this was Qian Xunji's mistake or a failure in Spirit Hall's decision-making, Salas immediately took the blame onto himself.
