"Ouch... Ouch... Don't touch that!"

Outside the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Xue Beng held his forehead with one hand, and a white bandage Entanglement around his head.

He would furrow his brow from time to time, gasp for breath, and dare not move his neck too much.

"Boss Xue Beng, no offense, but you're so badly injured, what are you doing wandering around like this!"

"Yes, Your Highness, if you catch a cold from the wind outside, you'll suffer a lot."

"Why don't we go back first?"

"Have the Eldest Prince find the imperial physician to prepare two doses of herbal medicine for you; I guarantee it will cure your illness!"

The spoiled young men standing around the Xue Beng chattered amongst themselves, offering words of comfort and concern.

"Shut up! If you really want to comfort me, you might as well go to the Heaven Dou Auction House and buy me a Catgirl."

A jumble of concerned words swirled in his ears, Xue Beng's brows furrowed even more, finding them unusually noisy.

He talks a good game, but doesn't he want to rest?

It was clearly the environment of the palace that didn't allow him to rest!

A cure-all? More like a death sentence.

Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire originally had four sons. The Eldest Prince, Xue Qinghe, was the oldest, and the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng, was the youngest.

However, neither of them was the most outstanding in terms of ability.

The most talented member of the royal family was the Second Prince, who was said to have been well-versed in politics and insightful about the times by the age of eight.

He was praised by Xue Ye for possessing the mindset of an emperor at the age of eight, and his future potential is limitless!

She would often hold his hand and say nonsensical things, such as "Qinghe is often ill, you should encourage him."

Then he died at the age of twelve.

Overwhelmed with grief, the Xue Ye held the Third Prince's hand and told him that when he grew up, he must find the real culprit and avenge his father.

This Third Prince is the one with the highest cultivation talent among Xue Ye's sons.

The Third Prince had no reason to refuse, and immediately swore a solemn oath that if the true culprit was not found, he would go down to join his brother.

So, the following year, he also died suddenly from poisoning.

Damn it, they're not even going to act anymore.

Now only Xue Beng and his elder brother Xue Qinghe remain in the palace.

Does it even need to be said who the mastermind is?

The reason Xue Beng went out was because he was worried that the Eldest Prince would take the opportunity to poison his medicine.

Therefore, he arrived without a moment's delay.

He was afraid that his elder brother Xue Qinghe, would mistakenly think he was conserving his energy.

"The order in Heaven Dou City really needs to be restored."

"What's the point of the Empire allocating so many Gold Soul Coin to Soul Master every year as subsidies?"

"If you ask me, the Empire should remove all Soul Master Subsidy and abolish the free awakening system for Martial Soul."

"At that time, how could those peasants possibly be a match for the empire?"

Xue Beng gritted his teeth. If it weren't for the chaos this morning, he would have made those lowly people pay the price.

"And this morning I think I saw a pretty little girl, was it just my imagination?"

Xue Beng's mind was a bit muddled from the impact; he vaguely remembered the incident, but not clearly.

"Sigh, forget it, I'll just find another one!" Xue Beng slapped his thigh, "Why bother with all that effort?"

He's the Fourth Prince, a notorious playboy in Heaven Dou City who does whatever he wants!

Xue Beng gradually became shifty-eyed, his eyes narrowing slightly as he surveyed the surroundings for a suitable target.

"Huh? Why are so many people suddenly appearing in the Great Soul Arena?"

"Isn't the Soul Fighting Competition in progress at this time?"

"That's what a nobleman's son who was standing next to Xue Beng said."

Everyone else's attention shifted to the Great Soul Arena.

The Xue Beng had also looked over and wanted to walk further ahead to see more.

"Hey, Big Brother Xue Beng, be careful! There are too many people ahead!" The lackey immediately blocked the way, pledging his loyalty.

"That's right, Big Brother Xue Beng, please step back!" Upon seeing this, the others quickly stepped in front of him to block the view.

"These are all loyal ministers!"

The Xue Beng felt a long-lost warmth.

"Big Brother Xue Beng, please don't say that. You're our big brother. We're brothers in our hearts!"

A spoiled brat clenched his right fist and pounded it heavily on his heart.

"You guys..." Xue Beng wiped his eyes.

The moment he looked up, Xue Beng's eyes widened as he caught sight of a voluptuous figure walking into the dark alley.

"Gulp!" Xue Beng swallowed hard.

He immediately tugged at the sleeve of the spoiled young man in front of him and said, "Don't just stand there like an idiot, come with me."

Having said that, Xue Beng took the lead and ran out.

The spoiled young men around them exchanged bewildered glances, not understanding why their leader, Xue Beng, had suddenly become so excited.

However, they also ran into the alley after the Xue Beng.

As soon as they stepped into the dark alley, they saw the Xue Beng leader stomping his face on the other man's shoe.

Xu Yuan covered the entire secluded and dark alley with his Blue Silver Domain to prevent others from noticing the commotion.

Due to the camouflage effect of the Blue Silver Domain, Xu Yuan appeared in the black robe attire he wore when he met Tang Hao in Nuoding City.

"How dare you! You've got some nerve! Get out of the way! Do you even know who the boss of Xue Beng is?"

"Boss Xue Beng, don't worry, we're coming to rescue you!"

The noblemen who had caught up pointed at Xu Yuan and angrily rebuked him.

Xu Yuan didn't speak, but took a step forward and stood in mid-air.

Using the camouflage effect of the Blue Silver Domain and the light and shadow refraction caused by the Word Manifestation, nine illusory Soul Ring fell one after another.

It's unlikely to deceive the strong, but it's all too easy to deceive the weak.

"Tell Prince Xue Xing to keep quiet. I'm short of money. Tell him to prepare 30 million gold coins to ransom this brat, otherwise... hehe..."

Xu Yuan gave a hoarse, cold laugh. The Xue Beng, trampled underfoot, was on the verge of tears. Why was he so unlucky?

The eyes of those noble children instantly became crystal clear.

That's a full nine Soul Ring —the mark of Titled Douluo standing at the pinnacle of the continent!

Xu Yuan casually tossed a letter to them, which landed on them. The letter specified the location and time for paying the ransom.

"Boss Xue Beng, we'll come back to rescue you later!"

They scrambled out of the alley, Xu Yuan, with a slight push of his foot, immediately fainted from the Xue Beng.

"Third Soul Skill, Fate's Sorrow!"

"Eye of Destiny Soul Skill, Fate Judgment!"

"Bring Fortune!"

Three consecutive Fate Soul Skill struck Xue Beng.

Xu Yuan refined the pale golden aura in his hand, grabbed Xue Beng by the collar, and found another secluded alley.

They tied the Xue Beng up, gagged it, threw it into a garbage dump, and sprinkled some sleeping powder on it.

" With Titled Douluo- level expert kidnapped, Prince Xue Xing will most likely ask Dugu Bo to intervene."

Xu Yuan calmly blended into the crowd and met Xiao Wu in front of the street.

"Xu Yuan, where have you run off to again... Titled Douluo?"

Xiao Wu raised her head and saw a streak of emerald green light pierce the sky and head straight for the Great Soul Arena.

In less than a few breaths, another pressure of Soul Douluo level rose up near the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Academy.

"You received the message so quickly?"

"It seems Dugu Bo has been resting at his residence in Heaven Dou City these past two days."

Xu Yuan realized he needed to speed things up.

"In the original work, the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is quite clear: it's right in the very center of Sunset Forest."

"However... Sunset Forest is known as one of the three major habitats of Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent, shrouded in poisonous fog and teeming with Soul Beast."

"Just because Liu Erlong and Flender were able to force their way through with their Soul Saint strength doesn't mean that I, as a Soul Elder, can do the same."

Xu Yuan's gaze involuntarily turned to Xiao Wu beside him.

"With the detection and camouflage effects of the Blue Silver Domain, plus my and Xiao Wu's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, even if we encounter danger along the way, we'll be able to escape unscathed."
