Wuhun Xuanming Turtle? Bullshit, this is the sacred beast Xuanwu

Chapter 138 He clearly did nothing, so how did he inexplicably become a marquis?
Seeing Long Aotian standing so respectfully beside the old man.

Xu Lingxiao immediately understood the other party's identity.

Ontology.

The poison will not kill you!
Long Aotian also saw Xu Lingxiao enter.
She then winked and made faces at him, looking incredibly comical, yet seemingly hinting at something.

Xu Lingxiao smiled and nodded.
"Brother Aotian, it's been a long time."

Just then, the old man's gaze fell on Xu Lingxiao.

Xu Lingxiao bowed respectfully.
"Is it the Imperial Preceptor who has graced my humble abode?"

This Body Sect is the great sect that protects the nation of their Heavenly Soul Empire.

As the sect leader of the Body Sect, it was not an exaggeration for Xu Lingxiao to call Du Busi the National Preceptor.

"Do you know me?"

Hearing Xu Lingxiao step forward and reveal his identity in one sentence, Du Busi was also somewhat surprised.

After raising an eyebrow slightly, she looked at Xu Lingxiao in surprise.
"I wouldn't say I know him, but I've long admired the Imperial Preceptor's reputation."

Xu Lingxiao smiled slightly, and then spoke.

"In addition to the entire Heavenly Soul Empire, the only people who can command such respect from Brother Aotian are probably His Majesty and the Imperial Preceptor."

"You've got some insight, kid."

Poison Undying let out a strange laugh, full of amusement.

As soon as Xu Lingxiao sat down in the hall, he asked,
"I wonder what brings you here, Grand Preceptor?"

"You think I wanted to come?"

Du Busi smiled faintly, his gaze falling on Xu Lingxiao, and finally glancing lightly at Long Aotian behind him.

“If my disciple hadn’t been talking about you all the time, I wouldn’t have come.”

"It's so noisy, it's driving me crazy."

Upon hearing Du Busi's words, Xu Lingxiao was speechless. He was still wondering why Du Busi would suddenly come to his Earl's mansion.

It turns out that it was Long Aotian who had been talking behind our backs.

When Xu Lingxiao's gaze fell on Long Aotian, Long Aotian was still making faces.

Xu Lingxiao even wanted to ask him if he had an eye disease.

If you have symptoms, go see a doctor.

Don't delay.

Du Bu Si didn't care much about the two people's little tricks, and instead looked at Xu Ling Xiao and asked him a question.

"My disciple told me that you're only seventeen years old, but you're already a Soul King?"

Xu Lingxiao pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then spoke.

"To be precise, he is now a Soul Emperor."

"what?"

"Soul Emperor!"

Poison Undying immediately raised an eyebrow.

Although his movements were very light, it was clear that he was extremely shocked at that moment.

Even Long Aotian, who was standing to the side, was startled, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

The talent of a seventeen-year-old Soul King is certainly remarkable, but it's not quite astonishing, because such individuals are not uncommon in their Body Sect.

But the Soul Emperor is different.

The 17-year-old Soul Emperor.

Let alone their own sect.

Even Shrek Academy, which is known as the number one academy on the continent, definitely doesn't have that.

Faced with the question of why he couldn't be poisoned, Xu Lingxiao directly revealed his spirit rings. Six spirit rings appeared behind him at once, and at the same time, the huge Bizhen Martial Soul also appeared.

A heavy sense of oppression instantly filled the hall.

"You really are a Soul Emperor?"

Seeing this, Poison Undying suddenly stood up.

His eyes were filled with shock; he never expected that there really was a 17-year-old Soul Emperor.

If he has this kind of talent, becoming a Limit Douluo is probably a sure thing.

"A few days ago, when I went to the Star Dou Great Forest, I encountered some good fortune. I was lucky, very lucky."

Xu Lingxiao smiled modestly as always.

"Good lad, no wonder even my apprentice speaks highly of you."

Poison Undying nodded with satisfaction, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Poison Immortal suddenly spoke up. "Alright, in that case, I agree to that."

"whats the matter?"

Upon hearing Du Bu Si's words, Xu Lingxiao was stunned. He couldn't help but look at Long Aotian beside him.

It wasn't that he thought this matter had anything to do with Long Aotian, but rather that Long Aotian was waving his hand at him incessantly at that moment.

Moreover, his expression was extremely anxious, and his actions naturally caught Xu Lingxiao's attention.

"What exactly happened?"

Seeing Long Aotian's actions, Xu Lingxiao was even more confused, completely bewildered.

"What are you waving your hand for, you little rascal?"

With such a large range of motion, Poison Fever wasn't stupid; he could naturally sense it.

Just then, Du Bu Si suddenly turned around and saw Long Ao Tian waving his hand with a strong sense of unease.

"Hey……"

He sensed the look in Du Bu Si's eyes, as well as Xu Ling Xiao's bewildered gaze.

Long Aotian sighed helplessly, then stepped forward and spoke.

"Master, actually, all of this was my idea."

Upon hearing Long Aotian's words, Du Busi, who was standing to the side, immediately sneered.
"Well, it's you, kid."

"what? What?"

Xu Lingxiao was dumbfounded.

"What exactly are you talking about? Let me know."

"After this period of contact with soul tools,"

Long Aotian, standing to the side, spoke with a wry smile.

"I think it's time for us from the Body Sect to make a change. In fact, compared to other Soul Masters, we from the Body Sect are more suited to Soul Tools."

Upon hearing Long Aotian's words, Xu Lingxiao, who was standing to the side, was completely shocked.

Good heavens, this guy actually did this behind my back at the Body Sect?
As a disciple of the Body Sect, it was already quite difficult to lead a group of disciples to join the new army before this.

Good guy.

Long Aotian is now thinking of getting the entire Body Sect to join in.

That's really daring of them.

Aren't they afraid of being poisoned to death and having their skin peeled off?

As expected, Poison Undying continued to sneer.
"Well, I was thinking that even though Xu Lingxiao is a count, he wouldn't dare to directly interfere with our Body Sect, would he?"

"So it was you who was behind this."

"Cough cough..."

Hearing his master's rebuke, Long Aotian felt a little embarrassed.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Fortunately, at that moment, a loud sound suddenly came from outside the Earl's mansion.

Imperial decree?

The expressions on their faces changed simultaneously.

Du Bu Si glanced at Xu Ling Xiao, his face twitching as he spoke.

"I am not in your residence. Go by yourself."

"I wasn't there either."

Long Aotian also quickly spoke up.

Receiving an imperial edict involved kneeling and bowing, which was incredibly troublesome.

Moreover, given his status as someone who is immune to poison, he certainly doesn't have to kneel, but it's best not to go.

Xu Lingxiao nodded and went out alone to greet the imperial envoy from the palace.

The envoy held a golden imperial edict in his hand, glanced at Xu Lingxiao, and then began to read it aloud on his own.

"Xu Lingxiao is hereby conferred the title of Marquis of Loyal Soul, and shall enjoy all the privileges of a marquis."

"Receive the imperial decree!"

The imperial edict was very simple; it merely elevated Xu Lingxiao's rank by one level, from Earl to Marquis.

After receiving the imperial edict, Xu Lingxiao was completely dumbfounded.

He did absolutely nothing, so how did he suddenly become a marquis?
