Douluo Continent: Protector Qian Renxue, Martial Soul: Dark Demon Dragon

Chapter 25 The Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire Arrives in Person

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue, who had been feeling extremely wronged, instantly beamed with joy. The implication was clear: her brother Lin Xiao had come out of seclusion specifically for her.

"Brother Lin Xiao stays in Wuhun City for years to cultivate in seclusion. Only the higher-ups of our Wuhun Hall know Brother Lin Xiao's identity. Even the higher-ups of Wuhun Hall have never seen Brother Lin Xiao."

"Moreover, it would be incredibly easy for other forces on the Douluo Continent to help Brother Lin Xiao obtain a legitimate identity. But what kind of identity do you, Brother Lin Xiao, actually desire?"

Qian Renxue said with a smile, while playing with the black dragon in her hand.

Compared to Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, their identities are extremely sensitive. Perhaps not many people know about them, but the leaders of various forces are well aware of them.

These two are titled Douluo elders of the Spirit Hall. It would be almost impossible to arrange appropriate identities for them and have them come to her side to serve her openly, unless the Heaven Dou Empire cooperates with the Spirit Hall.

But is it possible? Obviously not. The Spirit Hall is above all other forces on the Douluo Continent. The two great empires are already extremely wary of the Spirit Hall, let alone cooperating with it.

"Identity? It doesn't really matter. I just need a legitimate identity to stay by your side. There aren't any strict requirements," Lin Xiao said casually.

He came to the Heaven Dou Empire to assist Qian Renxue. Although he did need an identity, that was all he needed. He didn't have any requirements about what kind of identity it was.

"Then, how about Brother Lin Xiao take on the role of the captain of the Royal Guard Knights of my Crown Prince's Palace? His only mission is to protect my safety, with no other special tasks. In fact, Brother Lin Xiao can reasonably accompany me." Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, thought it over, and then made the suggestion.

Of course, most importantly, the Royal Guard Knights of the Crown Prince's Palace are completely loyal to her, and she has the right to directly appoint them to any position.

"The Royal Guard Knights," Lin Xiao murmured.

"The Royal Guard Knights are a knightly order that is completely loyal to me. I have the right to directly appoint positions to them, and Brother Lin Xiao, you must not underestimate their strength."

"The Royal Guard Knights have over a hundred members, who are meticulously divided into ten squads. Each squad leader possesses a Soul Power level that reaches the Soul Emperor realm."

"If all members of the Royal Guard Knights were to gather together, they could hold out for a very long time, even against a powerful being like a Title Douluo," Qian Renxue explained tirelessly.

"Hehe." Lin Xiao remained noncommittal. The Royal Guard Knights were able to hold out for a long time against a Title Douluo, but when they encountered him, they couldn't even withstand a single glance.

"Oh dear, Brother Lin Xiao, don't jump to conclusions! The Royal Guard Knights might indeed have behaved rather poorly when facing you."

"But they don't even look at who they're facing! Lin Xiao, who has a configuration of spirit rings far exceeding the best in the spirit master world, a powerful martial spirit, and the strength of a Super Douluo, naturally can't show his true strength."

"If they were facing Elder Serpent Spear, or one of the Elders of the Porcupinefish, the outcome would be completely different," Qian Renxue said helplessly, seemingly noticing Lin Xiao's nonchalant expression.

If the Royal Guard Knights, who are capable of maintaining the safety of the Crown Prince's residence, are truly utterly incompetent, then wouldn't she, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, be extremely unsafe?

Lin Xiao nodded slowly and said, "Perhaps I have preconceived notions."

Even Soul Masters who have reached the Soul Saint realm are completely unable to resist when he unleashes the Dragon Eye and Dragon Might combination Soul Skill; their own strength cannot be fully utilized.

Not to mention Soul Masters at the Soul Emperor level, and other Soul Masters at levels lower than Soul Emperor.

Qian Renxue decisively made up her mind and said with a smile, "Let's do it this way. Brother Lin Xiao has been traveling non-stop to Heaven Dou City since leaving Wuhun City. He probably hasn't had a proper rest along the way. I'll arrange for someone to arrange rooms for Brother Lin Xiao right away!"

She was genuinely happy that her brother Lin Xiao was able to come out of seclusion to visit her, and the fact that he was able to stay and assist her was an unexpected and delightful surprise. Her joy was beyond words.

With a loud bang, the tightly closed, exquisite wooden door was violently flung open. Snake Spear Douluo burst into the room without warning, his expression extremely flustered, and urgently said to the two:

"Young Master, Your Highness the Holy Son! Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!!!"

Qian Renxue frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure showing on her exquisite face. She then asked, "Speak, what is it? Why are you so flustered?!"

"It's like this, young master. That old bastard Xue Ye has led his army, the Royal Knights, and several Soul Douluos. I don't know why, but he has surrounded this place so tightly that it's practically impenetrable!" Serpent Spear Douluo explained.

"A snowy night? Soldiers besieging the Crown Prince's residence?!" Lin Xiao pondered to himself, then seemed to suddenly realize something, and said with a wry smile, "Xiao Xue, perhaps it's because of me. I didn't expect it to bring you trouble."

"I already know about this, Elder Serpent Spear. You may leave now. I know what to do about this matter." Qian Renxue said calmly, her tone indifferent, showing no concern for the matter.

In fact, there were three lines of defense against the assassin: patrolling Soul Masters, two Soul Saint level experts as guards, and finally her Royal Guard Knights. This was something Lin Xiao hadn't expected.

Throughout the entire process, the patrolling Soul Masters failed to notice Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao then directly defeated the two Soul Saint-level guards and entered the Crown Prince's residence. Judging by the time, the patrolling Soul Masters should have already noticed the unusual situation at the Crown Prince's residence.

Upon seeing two Soul Saint guards lying on the ground, and realizing that powerful assassins had entered the Crown Prince's residence, the patrolling Soul Masters' first task was to notify their superiors, then gradually inform them, eventually alarming the old man Xue Ye to personally lead his troops to the scene.

After reporting the news, Serpent Spear Douluo left the room.

Qian Renxue looked at Lin Xiao with a smile and said, "Brother Lin Xiao, how about we try this method, and then follow these steps? What do you think?"
