Douluo: Start by Planting Silver

Chapter 72 Taking the blame

After leaving Dark Moon Manor, Shao Feng rushed all the way back to the capital of Barak.

Seeing how anxious he was along the way, it seemed as if he was afraid of missing something.

After Shao Feng walked some distance away from Soto City, he suddenly stopped.

"Your Excellency has been chasing me for so long, isn't it time for me to come out?"

His sudden words startled Altria.

She thought to herself, "Has he been discovered? This shouldn't be the case!"

Altria has a unique ability, which is invisibility.

Because she was just a servant, summoned by Xie Xuan.

So, as long as she wanted, she could let only Xie Xuan see her.

Of course, this invisibility will become visible when the attack is made.

This is a magical skill for tracking people, and people basically can't see it.

This was the first time she was "seen through".

Just as Artoria was about to reveal herself, a voice suddenly came and an old man walked out.

"Are you from the Anbu of the Barak Capital? Why don't I feel like you are?" asked the old man.

The old man looked to be about sixty years old, with a long beard and a purple robe.

His soul power is at the Soul Emperor level.

"If you have anything to say, please tell me as soon as possible. I'm quite busy." Shao Feng said.

"It's not a big deal. I just want to verify with you how Xie Xuan killed that Soul Saint. Also, tell me what news Hu Qing asked you to bring." said the visitor.

"I don't have to answer you. Goodbye." Shao Feng said, turned around and continued to leave.

"Boy, don't be shameless. Xie Xuan is not here to protect you." After the Soul Emperor said this, he reached out and grabbed Shao Feng.

At this moment, Shao Feng turned around and a sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

The sword was golden in color. He swung the sword in his hand and a sword energy spread out, directly killing the Soul Emperor.

After beheading him, Shao Feng put away his sword and said to himself, "You are courting death!"

Then he continued on his way.

This time, Altria did not continue chasing.

Because she believed that what she saw was enough.

……

At Dark Moon Manor, after Artoria came back, she told Xie Xuan everything about what she saw Shao Feng killing the Soul Emperor.

After hearing this, Xie Xuan also fell into deep thought.

"He can easily kill a Soul Emperor with one sword, which means he can definitely kill a Soul Saint. Even if I didn't rescue him that day, he would have been able to escape safely. But, why haven't I heard of such a master in the original book?"

Xie Xuan didn't believe that such a master would not be able to grow in the future.

"Could it be that the absence of his record in the book is related to the long journey he is about to take?" Xie Xuan thought to himself.

Xie Xuan was also very curious about what Shao Feng was going to do during his journey.

"By the way, when he used the sword, was it the sword martial spirit? Or something else?" Xie Xuan asked.

"It's not a martial spirit." Altria said affirmatively.

Although she herself does not have a martial spirit, she has met countless people who have martial spirits over the past year.

She was still sure whether Shao Feng used his martial spirit.

"Isn't it Wuhun? There is indeed something wrong with this person. Let's go to the capital of Barak and find out about his past!" Xie Xuan said.

……

The next day, the people from the Spirit Hall were worried because they didn't wait for the Soul Emperor they sent out to come back.

So they sent people to look for him again.

Finally, a body was found.

When those people carried the corpse back to the Spirit Hall, Du Wang looked at the corpse with a gloomy expression.

He said angrily, "Xie Xuan? He was killed by a sword. Moreover, it was a single sword that cut his throat off. Only he has the ability to do this."

"Sir, could it be that Xie Xuan will personally send Shao Feng?" The servant asked doubtfully. "It's not impossible. If he could foresee that we would send someone to look for Shao Feng, he might go with us. Otherwise, do you think Shao Feng could kill a Soul Emperor so easily?" Du Wang asked back.

"Your Excellency the Bishop's analysis is correct." The servant naturally did not dare to refute it anymore.

After all, what Du Wang said is not without reason.

If Shao Feng could kill a Soul Emperor with one sword, he would not be Hu Qing's errand boy, and he would not be captured by the people in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Carry him away and take care of his funeral!" Du Wang said.

"Sir, don't you want revenge?" a servant asked.

After all, this was the death of a Soul Emperor, and the loss was enormous for their Spirit Hall.

When Du Wang heard this, he couldn't help but twitch.

He shook his head and said, "We have no evidence. If we go to find him, we will be in the wrong. We can find another opportunity to take revenge later!"

Du Wang was actually glad that he had this excuse to get away with it.

Otherwise, you really have to put yourself in a good position.

If he goes to seek revenge, wouldn't he be seeking death?

Xie Xuan was able to easily kill the Soul Saint sent by the Barak royal family, but he was just a Soul Saint, so wouldn’t he be courting death by going?
……

In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed. On this day, several contestants came to Soto City.

The people who arrived the fastest were naturally the people from the Spirit Hall.

After Hu Liena and Yue Guan arrived in Soto City, they first went to the Spirit Hall.

They are new here, so naturally they need to understand the situation here first.

Although Yue Guan is a Titled Douluo, they seem to be sure of victory this time.

But before they left, Bibi Dong told them that they must be careful and not be careless.

In addition to Hu Liena, Xue Yan, who had been unable to escape all the way, also arrived.

After Xueyan arrived, he first found an inn to stay in. He wanted to find out where Xie Xuan lived.

In addition, the Soul Emperor Wu Lan also arrived here.

Wu Lan was also very careful when he got here. Although he was a Soul Emperor, he did not think that he was invincible this time.

Because among these opponents, he only knew Xue Beng and Yu Xiaogang.

Xue Beng is the prince of the Tiandou Empire, and he is known for being a playboy, which he certainly knows.

The name of Master Yu Xiaogang is indeed well-known among soul masters.

As far as the two people he knew, they should be able to find Soul Saint-level masters to help them.

How dare he, a Soul Emperor, be so arrogant?

Xie Xuan naturally knew that these three people had arrived in Soto City.

The other four people are now not far from Soto City.

This time, Xie Xuan was very much looking forward to it.

After all, when the Holy Grail War is over, what he wants to gain is not only the years of his spirit rings, but also the abilities of these people.

……

Wuhun Temple.

Du Wang told Hu Liena and the others about the situation in Soto City.

After listening to it, Yue Guan's eyes showed a little more interest.

"Can he easily kill a Soul Saint? Is this kid really only twelve years old?"

You know, this is much more powerful than the golden generation of Spirit Hall.

The Golden Generation was the Spirit Hall’s face, but, compared to Xie Xuan, they paled in comparison.

"I also suspect that he is very old, but there is no evidence in this regard." Du Wang sighed.

"Whether it is true or not, just give it a try." Hu Liena said.

"Test? Nana, how do you want to test?" Yue Guan asked.

"He is the host of this Holy Grail War. It is reasonable for me, a contestant, to visit him!" Hu Liena said.
