Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 28: The Great Priest of Xingluo, a Surname Lost in History

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Xu Jiawei's mood gradually calmed down. All kinds of thoughts were running through his mind, but they soon stopped at the most realistic issue.

"My dear guests, the human world is different from the Far North. It has many worldly shackles and fetters. If you don't mind, I will personally solve your identity and other issues later. All your expenses in the human world will be covered by the Xingluo Treasury as a token of my appreciation."

Xue Di nodded gently, and did not reject Xu Jiawei's kindness. She paused, and then spoke softly:

"You don't have to worry that Bing'er and I will harm the people in this city and your royal family. The premise of cooperation is mutual trust and unreserved exchange of information and interests. I can feel that you still have concerns about us, but this is normal. Think about it from another perspective. In this huge city, the only person who can make this emperor look at him is probably the old man behind you..."

Xu Jiawei's expression remained unchanged. He had long heard of the Snow Empress's reputation. As the overlord of the Far North and the third strongest person ranked on the list of ferocious beasts on land, it would be a real joke if he failed to detect her presence.

Following Xue Di's gaze, to the left of the main seat where Xu Jiawei was sitting, the space seemed to have some invisible distortion, and an old and skinny figure slowly walked out, and the breath of decay and old age also came with it. In an instant, the light in the entire hall seemed to dim a lot.

Xue Di narrowed her eyes slightly. She actually felt a faint sense of crisis from the dying human old man in front of her. Before, the old man had hidden himself in the dark, and his aura seemed to be blocked by something. If his true identity was revealed, Xue Di would indeed feel something strange.

Bingdi looked at the old man with a hint of vigilance in her eyes. In her perception, the strength of the man in front of her seemed to be around level 98, the same as hers, but his aura was a little too strange, as if he was deliberately hiding something.

After a long time of watching the old man open his beautiful golden eyes, she had never remembered when the empire had such a strong man...

After racking his brains for thought, Xu Jiujiu finally found a vague figure deep in his memory. The memories of the past gradually overlapped with reality. Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but clutch his clothes tightly, and then whispered to Shu Yan:

"This... is the chief worshiper of our Xingluo Royal Worship Hall. I met him once when my brother broke through to the Titled Douluo level."

A hint of surprise appeared on Shu Yan's face, and his gaze towards the old man changed slightly.

The Xingluo Royal Worship Hall has always been a very mysterious existence in the outside world. Although it is not as powerful and mysterious as the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, it is definitely one of the most powerful soul master organizations in the world. Most of its members are unknown to the world. They will only show up when the Xingluo Empire is in danger. Even Xu Jiawei cannot mobilize the truly mysterious and powerful existence without sufficient reasons. This so-called great worshiper only lives in the mouths of others. Almost no one has seen his true face. Now, such a person has appeared in front of everyone. It is more than just surprise...

Xu Jiawei slowly stood up, feeling the old man's increasingly decadent and weak aura, his face couldn't help but darken, and after a moment of silence, he said softly:

"I am sorry to bother you this time, Mr. Qian..."

The old man called Qian Lao slowly raised his head. There was an obvious scar on his old and dry face, and his turbid eyes were full of vicissitudes and peace. Just one glance was enough to make people feel as if they had lost their minds, and their hearts trembled uncontrollably twice.

"It's okay. I've been sitting for years. Now I finally get out to stretch my muscles. If I don't breathe in some fresh air, I'm afraid my body will become like a dried corpse."

The old man's tone was very light and unexpectedly gentle. He looked at Xu Jiawei in front of him, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He supported himself with a black cane and walked forward a few steps slowly. Xu Jiawei wanted to go forward to support him, but the old man waved his hand to refuse. He looked at the stage with cloudy eyes, and his eyes changed slightly when they touched the Ice and Snow Emperors. The Ice and Snow Emperors also looked over here almost at the same time. Three different auras collided in the air. The next moment, three completely different soul power fluctuations of ice blue, dark green, and dark gold suddenly collided together above the hall. The white light was dazzling, and Xu Jiawei did not move a step. Shu Yan protected Xu Jiujiu and retreated slightly, his eyes also observing the changes in the situation.

The white light slowly faded away, and the old man took three or four steps back. The aura around him was a little chaotic. His eyes passed directly over the Ice Emperor and turned to look at the Snow Emperor. There was also a strange feeling in his eyes.

"Is this the power of the Ultimate Douluo? As expected, compared with the Super Douluo, it is a world of difference and cannot be compared at all." A hint of surprise appeared in Xue Di's eyes. She carefully scanned the old man's body, and then she said softly:
"Human, you are very powerful, but this does not seem to be your limit. Your limit seems to be shackled by something. You seem to have some secret."

The old man smiled calmly and said casually:

"It's just a matter of the past, just a sacrifice to become stronger. A single thought can make a world of difference. The Emperor of the Extreme North, I was born in the ancient times. As you can see, I am the chief worshiper of this Xingluo Worship Hall. I have heard of the Emperor's reputation a long time ago, and now that I see it, it is indeed well-deserved."

"Throughout the ages..."

Shu Yan slowly loosened his grip on Jiujiujiu's slender waist, silently repeating this surname that seemed to have been lost in history, and had some guesses in his mind.

Xue Di nodded slightly. Qiangu Chaosheng was very strong and had many secrets hidden in him, which was enough to win her respect. This was a privilege that only the strong could possess.

Bingdi looked at Xuedi and Qiangu Chaosheng and clenched her fists tightly. Then she stood up and shouted to Qiangu Chaosheng:

"Hey!"

"Lao Deng! How dare you ignore me? I am not weak either. Why do you only praise Xue'er? If you don't come up with a reason today, I will beat you up right now!"

Qiangu Chaosheng only smiled lightly at Bingdi's scolding, not caring much. He moved a few steps again with his black cane, and there was a hint of kindness in his eyes. He looked at Bingdi and said:

"Little girl, you should follow the same principle as me, that strength is supreme and the strong are king. I can tell you very clearly that you are very strong, but you are no match for me. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try..."

Bingdi waved her arms and looked at Qiangu Chaosheng with eyes full of anger. She admitted that this old man with a peaceful aura had successfully turned into a hateful appearance in her eyes. She now just wanted to beat him up and let him see the strength of her, the King Bingdi!
Snow Emperor helplessly stopped Ice Emperor, who was full of fighting spirit, and then said softly:
"Bing'er, stop messing around. You are definitely no match for him. If you don't believe me, you will know after you give it a try."

Hearing what Xue Di said, Bing Di was a little dumbfounded. Xue Di's attitude was very serious. She could clearly sense that Xue Di was not joking. Xue Di's judgment was generally not wrong. Could it be that she was really no match for the old man opposite her?

Seeing Ice Emperor lowering his head in depression, Snow Emperor was also helpless. Even though Qiangu Chaosheng now looked like a candle in the wind, Snow Emperor could clearly sense the terrifying power hidden in his broken body. Ice Emperor could compete with him in a battle, but it was almost impossible for him to win.

Just as Bingdi took the opportunity to doubt himself in Xuedi's arms, Qiangu Chaosheng smiled silently, and his gaze shifted again, finally to Shu Yan who was standing beside him.

The gentle golden soul power carried an irresistible tyranny, and Shu Yan was imprisoned by the golden soul power before he could even release his martial soul. He was suspended in the air and completely lost the ability to resist.

The old man's voice with a chuckle rang in his ears, and Shu Yan felt the hairs on his body stand up, as if he had seen something more terrifying than a ferocious beast...
