Dispose of the Corpse, the Banquet Continues, Serve the Food!

"Let me go!! Otherwise, I'll flood the entire palace with poison gas! And make everyone pay with their lives!"

Dugu Bo roared loudly.

The guests stood up and released their Martial Soul, their faces serious. Even the Xue siblings Xue Qian Xue Fu, immediately released their Martial Soul to protect their grandfather.

"Grandpa, don't be afraid, we'll protect you!"

Xue Xing grabbed their shoulders from behind, repeatedly saying, "Good children!"

Seeing this, Yu Luoyi immediately released his Martial Soul: "Great-grandfather, don't be afraid, I'll protect you--"

He was slapped behind him by Yu Yuanzhen.

"What are you showing off, you little brat?"

As one of the few Titled Douluo present, Yu Yuanzhen glanced at Chen Xin and Gu Rong and noticed that neither of them intended to make a move, which made him frown slightly.

What is Ning Fengzhi thinking?

Just then, a pleasant female voice suddenly rang out.

"I'll flood you before you flood the palace."

Although the voice wasn't loud, everyone could hear it very clearly.

Dugu Bo was also taken aback, but soon he realized that all the green poison gas he had released was enveloped by the water flow that was spreading in the air.

And in the next instant, he was completely enveloped by a mass of blue seawater.

A blue water sphere floated slowly in mid-air, inside which Dugu Bo struggled violently, his eyes wide open, as if he was about to be suffocated by the water pressure.

Everyone stared in disbelief at this scene; Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Yu Yuanzhen all looked astonished.

They only knew that a powerful figure was punishing Dugu Bo, but they didn't know where the powerful figure who unleashed the skill was at that moment.

As for the voice that just appeared, it seemed to have come from all directions, making it impossible to determine its exact location.

How could there be such a terrifying Soul Master inside the imperial palace?

The Xue Ye was so well hidden.

But no one realized that what was happening at the scene was far from over.

A whooshing sound came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a boy with twelve wings on his back flying directly above the banquet area.

The boy looked down at the scene below, immediately folded his multicolored wings, and plummeted down at breakneck speed.

It's Lin Luo!

Xue Fu jumped up and shouted.

The girl's voice reached the ears of everyone else present very clearly, and Yu Luoyi immediately followed suit, shouting Lin Luo's name.

Xue Qian's gaze was intense as he saw the full form of Lin Luo's Martial Soul for the first time.

As he fell, a longsword appeared in Lin Luo's hand, its color matching the vibrancy of his wings.

Behind him, black wings emitted a bright light, and Lin Luo's aura instantly became sharp. He turned his wrist, and the longsword rotated 180 degrees, so that he could hold the sword with both hands and thrust it vertically downwards.

The blue water sphere floating in the air disappeared as the dying Dugu Bo landed on the ground.

"Puff!"

The longsword pierced Dugu Bo's chest with ease. Lin Luo stood up with a sharp look in his eyes, pulled out the sword, and shook off the blood that was on it.

This sword was forged by him at the Heaven Dou Temple last time. It had been frozen in the icehouse until a few days ago, and he had taken it out a few days ago and had been carrying it with him ever since.

Using it to kill Dugu Bo at this moment can be considered as putting an end to a lingering worry.

"What kind of Martial Soul is that?"

"Twelve wings?! Shouldn't they be golden?"

"Is he the newly appointed heir apparent by His Majesty?"

"I think I know why His Majesty bestowed so many rewards upon him..."

Various voices of discussion lingered at the scene.

The eyes of many forces were now focused on Lin Luo.

And Xue Xing, in her quest for answers, also found her own.

Although no one recognized this Martial Soul, a word naturally came to mind.

"Angel."

Therefore, many people's eyes turned to Salas, who represented the Heaven Dou Temple.

Knowing the inside story Salas didn't know what expression to make, so he could only pretend to be surprised like everyone else.

Everyone understands now.

It turns out that even the Spirit Hall was unaware of Lin Luo's background!

No wonder Xue Ye still focused on cultivating Lin Luo even though she knew he might be from the Spirit Hall.

"I'm too late!"

The sounds of the Xue Ye came from one direction.

When he arrived at the scene and saw that the assassin was actually Dugu Bo, he was slightly stunned. Then he turned to look at Xue Beng, who was following beside him, but Xue Beng looked completely bewildered.

Let's investigate this matter after the banquet...

Thinking of this, Xue Ye looked at everyone again, including Lin Luo.

He asked in surprise, "Lin Luo, did you kill this traitor Dugu Bo with your own hands?"

Lin Luo sheathed his Martial Soul and sword. "It is I, but I have a powerful expert assisting me in secret."

Xue Ye paused for a moment, then quickly found the answer in his heart. The old emperor immediately felt confident, even proud, and said with his head held high, "Outsiders think that my Heaven Dou Imperial Palace is without anyone, but that is a huge mistake. With His Majesty protecting my palace, even if Titled Douluo has rebellious intentions, he won't be able to stir up any waves!"

Xue Ye indeed knew everything; the hidden expert was the one protecting the palace... Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes.

He really underestimated this old man.

Then, Xue Ye turned her gaze to Lin Luo: "But my young prince also deserves credit. You have rendered meritorious service in killing the enemy, and I will reward you handsomely afterwards."

Salas remembered the lines Bibi Dong had instructed him to say beforehand, and asked in a feignedly unfriendly tone, "Your Majesty, what exactly is this young prince's Martial Soul? Everyone just saw it, and we hope Your Majesty can provide an explanation!"

Qian Renxue glanced at Salas silently. What a master of playing the straight man. Xue Ye had been waiting for the Spirit Hall to ask this question.

Was it arranged by Bibi Dong?

A cryptic smile appeared on Xue Ye's face. He stepped forward, affectionately embraced Lin Luo, and addressed the crowd. "This grandson of mine, though not related to me by blood, was adopted by Qinghe when he was destitute. Father and son hit it off immediately and developed a deep bond..."

Salas said in an annoyed tone, "Your Majesty, can you get to the point?"

Upon hearing this, the others began to whisper among themselves.

Yeah, we just want to know for sure what his Martial Soul is. You old codger, stop rambling on and on. You know Lin Luo is now a member of your royal family, okay? Stop your nonsense.

Xue Ye said calmly, "His Martial Soul is Twelve-Winged Angel, but that doesn't prove anything. He is Lin Luo, Qinghe's son, my grandson, the heir of Heaven Dou, and Prince Luo."

"Twelve-Winged Angel!!!"

Everyone was shocked.

Despite having some suspicions, I was still incredibly surprised.

Xue Xing then sat heavily in her seat.

The Twelve-Winged Angel Martial Soul is His Majesty's strategic trump card; it may even be more important to him than his identity as his younger brother.

"Hmph, I'll go back and consult His Holiness the Pope!"

Salas turned and left.

Xue Ye watched this scene with satisfaction. "I also welcome His Holiness the Pope to come here one day to meet my grandson."

"Someone, dispose of the body! The banquet continues! Serve the food!"
