Douluo Continent, I, Huo Yuhao, defy fate with my spiritual eyes.

Looking at the nauseating Duchess, Old Master Xuan remained expressionless, though the chicken leg in his hand had somehow turned to dust.

Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. He looked at the Duchess, then back at Elder Xuan, wondering what had gotten into the Duchess that made her provoke a Super Douluo.

The old man's voice was calm and still, as if it contained a deep and unfathomable mystery.

"Little girl, you seem quite dissatisfied with this old man!"

One of the maids supporting the Duchess raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily.

"How dare you! Who gave you the right to call me 'little girl'? Do you think you're so entitled to do that?!"

After saying that, he immediately looked at the Duchess in a fawning manner.

The Duchess touched the maid and glanced sideways at Elder Xuan.

I've never heard of any Soul Saint or Soul Douluo dressed like this in the vicinity. It can't possibly be a Title Douluo, right? Haha, how could Huo Yuhao, this bastard, possibly invite a Title Douluo?

The Duchess pondered carefully before issuing a confident threat.

"You filthy beggar, if you dare to yell again, I'll wipe out your entire family, you know? Nine generations of your family can be eliminated!"

Having not heard such a threat for many years, Elder Xuan was somewhat taken aback.

When he finally realized what was happening, Elder Xuan laughed in exasperation, pointing his greasy finger at the Duchess, his hand trembling with rage.

"Fine, fine, then I'll wait until you exterminate my entire clan!"

One of the guards, eager for advancement, drew a steel blade that could cut through iron like mud. A burst of flame engulfed the blade, and with a large stride forward, he actually chopped straight at Elder Xuan's finger, roaring.

"You old fool! Who gave you the right to point at my wife with your filthy hands? I'll chop off one of your fingers as a small punishment!"

As the steel blade fell, the guard's mind conjured an image of himself slicing off the greasy beggar's finger, the beggar clutching his finger and weeping bitterly.

He was promoted to head guard for his meritorious service in protecting the lady's dignity. The lady also thought highly of him because of his bravery. From then on, he had no worries about food and clothing and lived a happy life with women on both sides!

scandium!!

A sharp, metallic clang resounded, and the guard turned around in surprise.

The steel knife collided with Elder Xuan's fingers. Elder Xuan's filthy hand was completely unharmed, while the steel knife, which could cut through iron like mud, was chipped.

"Holy crap!"

He looked up in shock, his heart filled with turmoil.

Xuan Lao grinned, his eyes narrowed, and casually threw a punch, turning the guard into a pile of minced meat.

The bloody and violent scene suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes; the sight of that red and white mixture made the Duchess's stomach churn.

"vomit!"

This time it wasn't an act; I really vomited.

The other guards all became alert, drawing their long swords and staring intently at Elder Xuan, though their steps trembled slightly.

They knew that the guard was already one of the best among them, with a cultivation level equivalent to a Soul King. He had been crushed like an ant, so how could they not be afraid?

But if they go forward, they might die; if they retreat, and the Duchess survives, they will certainly die, and they will take their families with them!

The Duchess snatched a silk handkerchief from a maid beside her, wiped her mouth, and threw it to the ground with a grave expression.

"You... no wonder you dared to come here, so you have this senior as an accomplice!"

Elder Xuan's swift and decisive action swiftly and decisively eliminated a Soul King, who was at least a Soul Saint.

Her eyes flickered, and she put on a gentle smile.

"Senior, why bother offending our Duke's Mansion for such a piece of trash? If you don't mind, our Duke's Mansion can accept you as our retainer. From now on, we will provide all your cultivation resources and guarantee that you can break through to the next realm!"

It can only be said that the Duchess has always been a smart person, but she just hasn't kept up with the information.

Huo Yuhao didn't interfere; he simply stood calmly to the side with a strange smile.

Just kidding. If a duke's mansion could provide the resources for a Super Douluo to break through to the next level, it wouldn't be called a duke's mansion; it should be called a dimensional royal mansion.

The Duchess's words were like an insult to Elder Xuan. His face darkened, and he took to the air.

"Heh heh heh, weren't you just threatening to kill my entire clan? Your arrogance before and your obsequiousness afterward is laughable!"

"So, they couldn't reach an agreement?"

Even these conditions couldn't sway the dirty old man. The Duchess's face turned cold, her gentle smile vanished, and her triangular eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

"Heh, giving you some face? Do you really think you're some kind of Title Douluo? My Duke's Mansion has never feared any challenge!"

The Duchess turned around and bowed slightly, and a figure rose into the air, exuding an imposing aura.

"Thank you so much, Elder Xie!"

He walked on air, squinting his eyes as if he hadn't woken up yet, but the eight halos behind him made it impossible for him to be underestimated.

White, yellow, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black.

Although the spirit ring configuration is average, no matter how bad the spirit rings are, it is still a Soul Douluo, and a Soul Douluo with high combat power in the Douluo Continent.

He didn't even lift his eyes, still looking drowsy. Without asking any questions, he raised his hand and a dark green snake shadow pounced towards Elder Xuan.

He then confidently turned and walked away, yawning as he went.

"It's resolved. I'm going back to sleep."

He casually remarked to the Duchess, then clutched his lower back, looking somewhat weak and exhausted.

It's all the Duke's fault. The maids they sent were all so beautiful, and his martial spirit had a trace of dragon bloodline. He couldn't resist the temptation, and once he joined the Duke's mansion, he couldn't stop at night.

The Duchess hesitated, then stopped Elder Xie and pointed to Elder Xuan behind her.

"Thank you... thank you, sir... but the opponent hasn't been dealt with yet."

Old Xie suddenly opened his closed eyes and looked behind him in surprise.

Xuan Lao stretched out his finger and played with a bluish-gray snake shadow. The snake shadow struggled, trying to bite Xuan Lao, but was slapped away and vanished into nothingness.

"This...this...this!"

Looking at Elder Xuan's ordinary coarse linen clothes, his greasy fingers, and his mocking, aged face.

The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed, until Elder Xuan got bored and tore off a chicken leg to eat.

It seems...it really seems like it, could it really be true?!

Xie Laoteng suddenly regained full consciousness, his legs went weak, and he knelt down.

"Thank...Thank you, sir?"

The Duchess stared at Old Xie in astonishment, wondering why he had suddenly knelt before his opponent.

Could it be that his soul skill was broken, causing a backlash?

Old Xie's face turned red as he loudly reprimanded the Duchess.

"Shut up! Who are you? Why can you control me to attack?!"

???

What is this guy saying?

The Duchess felt as if the world was playing a trick on her, and she couldn't understand what had happened to Mr. Xie.

Then, as if remembering something, her face turned pale with fear as she looked at Elder Xuan. A foul, fishy smell emanated from beneath her.

Old Xie's next words confirmed her thoughts.

"Elder Xuan, it is an honor for me to have you deign to visit me!"

Old Xie fawned over him, crawling step by step on his knees, wagging his tail like a lapdog.

Elder Xuan floated in the air, looking puzzled.

"Who are you?"

"I am Xie Qing. I witnessed you slaying the evil spirit master many years ago, and I already worshipped you immensely back then!"

Xie Qing hurriedly said, his face even more respectful and sincere, and he kowtowed straight to the ground, his whole body trembling.
