Chapter 1 The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, a National Hero of the Heavenly Dou Empire

Four years have passed since the Soul Master Competition, and the Spirit Hall has become increasingly arrogant. The Heaven Dou Empire felt immense pressure and decided to further intensify its efforts to win over Soul Masters.

Led by Prince Xuexing, an imperial edict was issued to recruit powerful Soul Masters without any power or influence.

More than seventy Soul Masters above the Soul Emperor level were found.

They were all invited by Emperor Xueye to the palace to enjoy a luncheon together.

Inside the magnificent palace, Emperor Xueye looked at the Soul Masters with a friendly smile on his face.

One Soul Emperor is equivalent to a thousand soldiers, although the actual combat effectiveness may be somewhat reduced.

But these Soul Masters are already a force to be reckoned with!

"Distinguished guests, you are all powerful Soul Masters. I am delighted to have invited you to the palace. I have decided to establish the National Academy of Soul Masters, where you will all enjoy treatment superior to that of any other power!"

"Distinguished guests, please drink to your heart's content!"

Emperor Xueye raised his wine cup, his face flushed, and said...

The other nobles and ministers around them also raised their glasses and looked at the Soul Masters.

Qian Renxue was among them, but her gaze was drawn to a unique figure among the Soul Masters.

While all the Soul Masters raised their glasses, the Soul Master who looked like a young boy remained unmoved, his eyes slightly closed as if he were asleep.

Among a group of Soul Masters who are at least Soul Emperors, there is actually a young boy?

How dare you fall asleep in the palace, on a snowy night, when the Emperor himself was serving you wine?

It looks rather eerie no matter how you look at it.

"Drink to your heart's content!!!"

Almost all the Soul Masters finished their drinks, and their faces were flushed.

Being personally entertained by Emperor Xueye and hailed as a national hero was a great honor for these unaffiliated soul masters.

Qian Renxue noticed that the "boy" was still sleeping peacefully.

She stood up and moved closer to the "boy".

The "boy" had dark green hair with a few light highlights, and his features were deep and delicate. He had an otherworldly temperament and was an eye-catching handsome young man.

He wasn't sitting, but standing, and even though he was wearing heels, he wasn't 1.7 meters tall.

Her upper body was dressed in a white, tight-fitting short outfit, revealing her defined abdominal muscles.

His right arm was covered with green patterns, and he wore a bone bead necklace with a small vajra hanging from it.

He wore a string of small incense burners around his waist, and his trousers were dark purple.

Judging solely from her appearance, Qian Renxue had never seen such a handsome young man.

When they were three meters apart, the "boy" opened his eyes, and as if he had expected it, he looked directly at Qian Renxue.

"!!!"

Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback. In the boy's green eyes, she saw an incredibly complex light.

Pain? Indifference? Persistence?

At the same time, the aura emanating from him that kept strangers at bay made her somewhat hesitant to approach.

Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile. Her true cultivation level was Soul Saint, so why would she be afraid of a "young man"?

"Hello, can you tell me your name?" Qian Renxue, with the aura of a "young man," approached him and asked with a smile.

"elf."

The boy spoke in a cool, indifferent voice.

"Is it just Xiao? This name must have a special meaning, right? In the myths I've heard, the word Xiao represents a monster that has suffered and been tempered." Qian Renxue smiled slightly and asked curiously.

Xiao was slightly surprised and glanced at Qian Renxue.

The name Xiao was given to him by the Emperor for safety reasons, but it was not his real name.

The meaning behind what was said at the time was exactly the same as what Qian Renxue said.

So, is this the "foreign land" the Emperor spoke of?

He didn't know how he came to this foreign land, but since he was here, he would continue to fulfill his promise to the Emperor.

However, in this foreign land, he did not find any trace of the demon god. He was willing to protect humanity, but he did not know how to do so. The enemy was no longer as obvious as in Liyue.

The people here are truly in a state of lamentation.

That's why he came to the palace, hoping to get some guidance from there.

Seeing that Xiao remained silent, Qian Renxue had no intention of giving up and was about to speak.

Prince Xuexing spoke again.

"It is truly a fortunate occasion to have so many extraordinary individuals gathered here today. I wonder if any worthy scholars would be willing to display their prowess and broaden our horizons, thus showcasing our brilliance before His Majesty?"

As soon as Prince Xuexing spoke, the Soul Masters immediately started making a commotion.

"I'll go! I've long disliked the Spirit Hall! I was being hunted down by a Spirit Hall bishop back then, and I accidentally killed someone. Now, thanks to being recruited by the Heaven Dou Empire, I'm willing to show my skills!"

"I want to take on the challenge! And with so much space now, I'm going to challenge this guy!"

Suddenly, a booming, resounding voice rang out.

Right next to Qian Renxue, a strong and robust Soul Master pointed at Xiao and said.

All eyes turned to him, and they were all stunned when they saw the demon the man was pointing at.

Judging from his appearance, Xiao is clearly a teenager!

No matter how talented a teenager is, he can't possibly reach the Soul Emperor level, right?

Emperor Xueye frowned slightly and looked at Prince Xuexing with a puzzled expression.

Prince Xuexing pointed to his head and shook his head slightly.

He meant that he didn't know much about it either.

"Do you dare accept my challenge?" the tall Soul Master pressed.

He was just watching Xiao. Everyone else was toasting Emperor Xueye, but this guy was sleeping?

Moreover, they were all extremely envious of Prince Xue Qinghe's recruitment, but this person actually had an arrogant attitude, which made them very unhappy!

This is the perfect opportunity to vent my anger on him!

Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback and said, "Sir, you..."

"Have you killed someone?"

Xiao suddenly asked.

His eyes were sharp as knives, fixed on the tall Soul Master.

"Nonsense! If we've traveled all over the country and never killed anyone, wouldn't we be nothing but a fledgling? What, you've never killed anyone? Judging by your appearance, you're still breastfeeding, aren't you?"

The tall Soul Master chuckled.

Xiao frowned slightly. This person exuded malice and let out a dying scream. He had most likely killed at least ten people, and most likely tortured them.

Xiao continued, "Are there any good people?"

The tall Soul Master chuckled even more upon hearing this. "Whether they're good or bad, if they oppose me, so what if I kill them? You little dwarf, stop your babbling and see if you dare to fight me!"

"Don't worry, this is the palace, I won't kill you. If you're scared, then apologize to Prince Xue Qinghe, and I won't make things difficult for you."

"By the way, some of you here might know my name. I have a nickname: Blood Pagoda, Blood Fiend!"

Blood Fiend sneered repeatedly, tilted his head back, and announced his name.

"!!!"

Everyone present was immediately taken aback.

The eyes that looked at Xue Sha revealed deep fear.

Because this person is truly a vicious one!
