The ordinary-looking middle-aged man standing behind Ning Tingyu was anything but ordinary.
He was Ning Tingyu's partner, He Jia, a rank ninety-two Titled Douluo titled Star. His martial soul was the mutated martial soul Star Sword, which used the power of the stars to strengthen him.
None of this information was a secret in the Soul Master World. Xu Tiance had already learned it before setting out.

"May I ask Your Eminence's honored name...?"
Before Ning Tingyu could finish, Du Busi interrupted her. "I am Du Busi."
Ning Tingyu's pupils abruptly contracted-as the leader of a sect that had once also belonged to the Heaven Dou Empire, she naturally knew of the Body Sect. Moreover, Du Busi had been a devil incarnate in the Soul Master World in his younger days. Even though several generations separated them, she had still heard of his reputation.
She had never imagined that the powerhouse releasing this terrifying pressure would actually be Du Busi of the Body Sect!
Hadn't the Body Sect long since withdrawn from the world? Why had he suddenly come knocking at the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's door?
Ning Tingyu's eyes flickered. As she speculated about Du Busi's intentions, her gaze swept imperceptibly over each of the visitors.
When she saw the youngsters, including Xu Tiance, Ye Guyi, and Meng Hongchen, Ning Tingyu thought Du Busi might have come to squeeze some benefits out of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. But when she saw Kong Deming and the Soul-Guided Carriage outside the gates, her heart sank slightly.
