An owner of twin Martial Souls with innate full Soul Power, who might even be able to use the legendary Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the future.
Rarer still, such a genius had voluntarily chosen to join their Spirit Hall.
Exceptionally gifted, utterly sincere and filial!
The value he represented needed no explanation!
While Jiang Huai bathed and changed, Feidinan finished writing a secret letter, summoned his most capable agility-attack Soul Saint, and gave his instructions.
"This secret letter must be delivered to the Papal Hall and presented to His Holiness the Pope as quickly as possible."
"Once the task is done, I will reward you handsomely, and His Holiness the Pope will surely bestow a reward as well."
At this point, Feidinan's tone suddenly turned solemn.
"But if people from another faction intercept you on the road, you may die, but the contents of this secret letter must never be leaked."
"Can you do that?"
The Soul Saint's expression grew solemn. He, too, understood the value of the contents of this secret letter.
He immediately dropped to one knee, pressing his right fist against his chest.
"Rest assured, my lord. I will fulfill my mission!"
"For the temple!"
With that, the agility-attack Soul Saint activated his Martial Soul Avatar and shot toward Spirit City.
Feidinan walked to the window and looked toward the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
A proper smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Then he raised the wineglass in his hand, offering a slight toast toward the imperial city.
"Your Majesty Dai Tianfeng, how should our Spirit Hall thank you for such a generous gift?"
To prevent a long night from breeding more dreams, once Jiang Huai had put his attire in order, Feidinan did not hesitate. He took Jiang Huai and rushed straight out of Star Luo City!
Along the way, the two traveled at almost their utmost speed.
This also let Jiang Huai experience once again in this life what it felt like to take flight.
Whenever his Martial Soul Avatar came off cooldown, Feidinan immediately activated it to speed up their journey.
At the end of the day, Jiang Huai was still a member of the Dai Family, the Star Luo Imperial Family.
If His Majesty Dai Tianfeng in the palace caught on, or received some information, Feidinan would become a sinner condemned for all eternity by Spirit Hall!
Meanwhile, with such a commotion at the Platinum Temple, word naturally reached the imperial palace very quickly.
The Star Luo Empire had, after all, founded its nation on martial might. Its control in this area was naturally nothing like that of those big white geese in the Heaven Dou Empire, infiltrated until they were riddled like a sieve.
With just a glance at the information delivered to him, Dai Tianfeng guessed the gist of it.
It seemed Spirit Hall had discovered some genius on their territory and was rushing to send them to Spirit City.
"Your Majesty, do you need me to intercept and kill them?"
The speaker was none other than the current Hell Grand Duke, Zhu Tiancai, head of the Zhu Family.
His younger sister was the current empress, Zhu Tiancai.
The siblings' names sounded the same but were written with different characters, and both had reached the Soul Douluo realm.
After a moment's consideration, Dai Tianfeng slowly shook his head.
"Let it be, my minister. The situation is unstable at present. For now, we should avoid conflict with Spirit Hall as much as possible."
"Since Feidinan dared to leave with someone so openly, he has presumably already arranged for someone to inform the Papal Hall."
"It isn't worth it for a brat still wet behind the ears."
In His Majesty the Emperor's view, his family's White Tiger Martial Soul was already a powerful Beast Martial Soul on the same level as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
And since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was hailed as the world's greatest Beast Martial Soul, rounding things off, was their White Tiger Martial Soul not the same?
Not to mention, the Dai Family also had the Hell Spirit Cat as an accessory for Martial Soul Fusion.
However talented that mud-legged peasant was, just how good could he possibly be?
As for Jiang Huai, his illegitimate son, also happening to have reached the age for Martial Soul Awakening?
His Majesty the Emperor declared that no such thing existed.
He did not even know he had such a fine son out there.
Over the years, how could the dagger in Jiang Huai's mother's hands have been the only one Dai Tianfeng had given away?
Countless. Utterly countless.
"By the way, my minister. Judging by their ages, those remaining girls of yours should be nearing their Martial Soul Awakening as well, shouldn't they?"
"My third imperial son, Dai Mubai, is exceptionally gifted. Once their Martial Souls awaken, you must choose an outstandingly talented one for him, so our two families can grow even closer through marriage."
Zhu Tiancai lowered his head and assented.
His eldest daughter, Zhu Zhuyun, had already been formally designated as the first prince Dai Weisi's consort.
If another daughter married Dai Mubai, once the struggle for the throne began, the sisters would sooner or later have to fight to the death as well.
As a father, he instead hoped his remaining daughters would have more mediocre talents.
He truly did not want to see flesh and blood turn against each other again.
Soon, information about Jiang Huai's Martial Souls was delivered to Bibi Dong's desk.
Although Her Holiness the Pope was no longer young, her nobility, elegance, serenity, and beauty, tempered by the passage of time, had indeed gained a charm that no young maiden possessed.
A charm belonging solely to a widow.
Yet at this moment, seated upon her gilded throne, Bibi Dong looked at another report that had just arrived in her hands, her expression far from pleasant.
That unfilial daughter of hers had spent so many years in Heaven Dou City that she actually thought she was the Heaven Dou Crown Prince?
Befriending ministers and dispensing benevolent governance far and wide.
Were these things a usurper like her should be doing?
Indeed, back then, to send Qian Renxue to the Heaven Dou Empire to take over the so-called Nation-Stealing Plan, Bibi Dong had even prepared to fall out completely with the Worship Hall.
A large part of the reason was to slow Qian Renxue's cultivation and buy more time for her own Rakshasa God Trial.
Innate level 20 Soul Power!
In so many generations, that evil Angel Clan had produced only this one descendant of such outstanding talent.
Unquestionably the makings of a deity.
But in this era, the first person to become a god had to be her, Bibi Dong!
Yet now, seeing the words "Soul King" in the report, she felt an inexplicable fire flare within her again.
With a foundation of innate level 20, after all these years of cultivation, she was still only a Soul King?
Had she spent all her thoughts on those Heaven Dou ministers, without sparing the slightest care for her own cultivation?
Contradictory, but more than anything, she was furious at her failure to strive!
"Forget it. I never expected much from that unfilial daughter anyway."
Bibi Dong put the report down and could not help thinking of her treasured disciple.
"Nana is only twelve now, yet she is already an expert at the peak of Soul Grandmaster. In the future, she should be able to hold the position of Holy Maiden securely and then succeed me as Pope."
"This Spirit Hall will ultimately become my Spirit Hall-Bibi Dong's Spirit Hall!"
With that thought, Bibi Dong set aside the information concerning Qian Renxue and picked up the urgent letter from Star Luo City instead.
