Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 191 Blue Silver Valley, Blue Silver Emperor

"Master, do you remember when he joined Mingde Hall?" Qian Renxue asked.

Jing Hongchen pondered for a moment: "Every level nine Soul Master is registered in the Sun Moon Empire. As far as I remember, more than twenty years ago, when he joined the Mingde Hall, he seemed to have used this pseudonym. I wasn't the Hall Master then, but I'm sure I remember this correctly."

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes. It seemed that the former emperor of the Sun Moon Empire had long wanted to plant spies in Mingde Hall, perhaps to hinder the development of soul-guided weapons, but Mingde Hall had been completely unaware of it all these years.

Are all the people of the Sun Moon Empire blind? Or is Nail disguised?

"I'm going back now." Jing Hongchen said coldly. "Although I don't know what that person named Xu Ping is up to, I still need to thoroughly investigate the past of his lineage. No need to see me off."

"Take care." Qian Renxue stood up and opened the door to the terrace for Jing Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen's visit to the Qingse Hotel was also a secret, because he couldn't directly show his intention to get close to the Xishui Alliance. To do so would, at best, alert the Pingfan Alliance, and at worst, it would be a declaration of his allegiance to the Riyue Palace.

Qian Renxue did not reveal the Snow Empress's identity. She only gave the fragments of the Conferred God Platform to Jing Hongchen, without mentioning that the Snow Empress had been imprisoned there. Her explanation was that she had found the platform by chance in the Star Luo Empire, and the soul beasts inside had already escaped.

Jing Hongchen was too lazy to guess what Qian Renxue meant. Last time, Qian Renxue had been using riddles to talk to him about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and she was doing the same thing this time. Since he couldn't get anything out of her, he simply kept quiet.

But he wasn't stupid; he could roughly guess that the girl imprisoned on the Conferred God Platform was the one with the Martial Soul of the Ice and Snow Maiden. However, he didn't dare to harbor any wicked thoughts. Everyone in that small group had powerful backers: the Snow Maiden was backed by a ferocious beast he had seen before, Shen Yuanyi by the Holy Spirit Cult, and Xiao Xue by…

Well, he had seen everything Xiaoxue had done. Although he was unwilling to admit that she was using the Sun Moon Empire, it was undeniable that her appearance had brought unparalleled benefits to the Sun Moon Empire.

Even his predecessor, Kong Deming, sought cooperation with the Temple of the Sun.

……

The Ordinary Alliance acted swiftly. The person they dispatched this time was a woman named Shangguan Weier, who was over seventy years old. Thirty-five years ago, she was already the de facto leader of the Ordinary Alliance, and her cultivation had reached the eighth ring.

However, thanks to her years of skincare and maintenance, she still looks like a woman in her thirties, which makes many powerful men fall at her feet.

They dispatched a ten-person team this time, led by Shangguan Weier, with the rest being level six and seven Soul Masters, and no Title Douluo accompanying them.

After they entered the southern part of the Sun Moon Empire, their presence was detected by the specially deployed high-altitude soul guidance device, which was not difficult for Jing Hongchen to do. Their images were also transmitted to Long Xiaoyao and Jing Hongchen.

"Are these people here to be funny?" Long Xiaoyao was a little confused. "Soul Emperor to Soul Douluo level cultivators, without a Title Douluo accompanying them, thinking they can take down a 100,000-year-old soul beast?"

Even if this soul beast is just the Blue Silver Emperor, it is still at the 190,000-year level. Soul beasts that are over 100,000 years old generally possess combat power comparable to human titled Douluo... except for some special soul beasts.

His figure flashed and disappeared from his secret residence in the Mingdou Mountains.

About two hours later, relying on his strength as a Limit Douluo, he arrived at the vicinity of Tianhai City from the Mingdou Mountains. The Blue Silver Valley was located here.

Long Xiaoyao concealed his figure and aura, waiting quietly.

After several days of searching, Shangguan Weier and her people finally discovered the silvery-blue valley and arrived at its entrance.

"This should be it!" A hint of joy appeared on Shangguan Wei'er's face. As long as she could put this 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor back into the Supreme Alliance Leader's soul tool, her mission would be complete.

The Supreme Alliance Leader said that as long as she could complete this mission, he would bestow upon her a soul bone and would do everything he could to help her become a few years younger... The reason she was able to maintain her appearance and figure so perfectly before was not only due to her cultivation level, but also because of some special medicines bestowed upon her by the Supreme Alliance Leader.

"Alliance Leader, should we send a signal?" A level seven Soul Master asked in a low voice beside Shangguan Wei'er. Hearing this, Shangguan Wei'er recovered from her joy and waved her hand, saying, "No rush. This 100,000-year-old Soul Beast is a plant-type; perhaps we can handle it on our own."

They flew towards the Blue Silver Valley. The air grew fresher and fresher, and soon they reached the bottom of the valley. There were no tall trees here, only Blue Silver Grass like a carpet, with no bare land exposed.

Suddenly, one of the level six Soul Masters let out a scream.

"What's going on?!" Shangguan Wei'er and the others heard the scream and quickly turned around, only to find that the sixth-level Soul Master had been entangled by countless Blue Silver Grasses and was tightly bound to the grass. The harmonious atmosphere in the valley instantly turned into a chilling coldness.

"Humans! Retreat!" A majestic voice seemed to come from the depths of the valley, or perhaps it came directly from all the Blue Silver Grasses around.

Every bush and tree seems like an enemy soldier!

A chill ran down everyone's spines. The same thought crossed their minds: without a doubt, the Blue Silver Grass here and that mysterious 100,000-year-old soul beast had formed a unified entity and were using it as a threat.

Shangguan Wei'er's eyes flickered: "I'm sorry, senior, we just wandered into this place by mistake and will leave now. Please be merciful and release my subordinates."

The voice seemed to pause for a moment, then sounded again: "Retreat."

The blue silver grass binding the level six soul master was loosened, allowing him to rejoin the team.

Long Xiaoyao remained hidden in the dark void, silently observing everything. He hadn't yet made a move, for he was waiting.

As soon as Shangguan Weier and the others left the valley, they immediately sent out a signal.

"This 100,000-year-old soul beast can actually communicate with all the plants in the valley as its means!" Shangguan Wei'er said resentfully. "However, no matter what, it is still just a 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beast."

Long Xiaoyao thought to himself that the Blue Silver Emperor was really bold. Wasn't it afraid that after letting these people go, it would bring back others to cause trouble for it?

However, he was still secretly surprised, because this 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Beast actually possessed a domain-like ability. It must be said that although plant-type soul beasts do not seem as strong as animal-type ones, they always have some trump cards.

Not long after, a phoenix's cry came from afar, and a titled Douluo who looked to be over eighty years old rushed over from a distance.

Long Xiaoyao frowned; he recognized the person's martial spirit: the Phoenix of Light.

Thank you all for reading! The author expresses his sincere gratitude!
