After watching Qian Daoliu leave, Ma Xiaotao and the others prepared to return to the Star Emperor Hotel. They happened to run into Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Ma Rulong, and a group of people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy at the entrance.

For a moment, the two sides were at odds, and their thoughts were surprisingly aligned; neither side took the other seriously.

Huo Yuhao looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, then quietly slipped back into his room.

He quickly composed himself, looked inward into his spiritual sea, and gazed at Hyotei, who was still in a state of shock.

"Hyotei, what happened to you just now?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also looked puzzled: "Bingbing, why are you standing there like that? Is there a problem?"

Hyotei snapped out of his daze and muttered to himself.

"Impossible, he's clearly from ten thousand years ago, why would he appear here... just because of the same name? No, his martial spirit seems similar to that Qian Daoliu's, is there really such a coincidence in the world?"

Huo Yuhao felt a bit overwhelmed by what he was hearing.

"Hyotei, what do you mean by this?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was also very curious.

Hyotei then began to explain.

"I have lived in the far north for over 100,000 years. Although I don't go out much, I am basically aware of what is happening on the continent. If I'm not mistaken, this Qian Daoliu should be a figure from 10,000 years ago, a top expert of the Spirit Hall."

Huo Yuhao was shocked: "A figure from ten thousand years ago?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm gasped, "Bingbing, you must be joking. A figure from ten thousand years ago, coming here—who could possibly do something like that?"

Ice Emperor glared angrily at Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm: "How should I know?!"

Seeing that she was angry, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's fat body trembled, and she dared not continue to question her.

Huo Yuhao was completely confused and asked, "Ice Emperor, if he really came from ten thousand years ago, just how strong is he?"

Ice Emperor thought for a moment and said, "I didn't know much about him back then, but he was at least level 98, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to become the ruler of the Spirit Hall, and he would have had even less chance of defeating Xuanzi from your academy."

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched upon hearing this, recalling Xuanzi's disheveled appearance back then.

He quickly changed the subject: "By the way, what is the Spirit Hall?"

Ice Emperor replied, "The Spirit Hall was the strongest force on the continent ten thousand years ago, and it even produced two gods."

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Equivalent to Shrek Academy today?"

Hyotei nodded: "More or less."

Huo Yuhao felt a surge of admiration: "In that case, it's truly remarkable that you, senior, could become the leader of the strongest force."

At this moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't help but speak up: "After all this talk, we still don't understand why he's here."

Enraged, Ice Emperor rushed over and brutally beat Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm howled and cried out, "Bingbing, spare me! I won't do it again! Bingbing, spare me!"

"Don't call me Bingbing, you're asking for it!"

Huo Yuhao watched this scene with a sense of helplessness.

He then looked at the black mist floating not far away and sighed.

I wonder when Old Yi will wake up.

Perhaps only a demigod like him could explain such a bizarre thing.

……

Qian Daoliu and his group arrived at the palace gate.

The palace was even more magnificent than the White Tiger Duke's mansion, with red walls, yellow tiles, and a resplendent appearance.

Two rows of soldiers stood at the entrance, each clad in golden armor and wielding a long spear, exuding an imposing aura and displaying remarkable cultivation.

Dai Hao addressed the leading soldier, saying, "Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger requests an audience with His Majesty."

The soldier quickly saluted: "Your Grace, please wait a moment, I will go and inform him immediately."

After saying that, he turned and ran into the palace.

He quickly ran back and said respectfully, "Your Grace, His Majesty requests your presence."

Dai Hao nodded and led Qian Daoliu into the palace.

Inside the palace, the roads paved with white jade are lined with various exotic flowers and plants, pavilions and towers are scattered in a well-organized manner, and artificial mountains and flowing water complement each other, showing the grandeur of the royal palace.

Dai Hao explained as he walked.

"The Star Luo Imperial Palace was damaged in a great war two thousand years ago and has been expanded many times to reach its current size. The library is located on the east side of the palace and has three floors, which houses various books from ancient times to the present."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly and followed Dai Hao through several palace gates.

The palace maids and eunuchs they encountered along the way all bowed respectfully to Dai Hao, and were also very puzzled, wondering what the identity of this person walking with Duke Baihu was.

Soon, the two arrived at a side hall.

Dai Hao stopped and turned to Qian Daoliu, saying, "Brother Qian, His Majesty is waiting in the side hall. I'll go in and inform him first. Please wait a moment."

Qian Daoliu nodded.

Dai Hao pushed open the palace door and went inside.

Qian Daoliu stood outside the door, surveying his surroundings.

The side hall is not large, but it is decorated very exquisitely.

There are two pine trees planted at the entrance, which are neatly trimmed.

A row of flowerpots were placed against the wall, filled with flowers of various colors.

After waiting for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Dai Hao came out.

"Brother Qian, His Majesty invites you in."

Qian Daoliu stepped into the side hall.

The hall was brightly lit and simply furnished.

In the very center was a desk, and behind the desk sat a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked to be in his forties, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown, with a dignified expression.

He is none other than Xu Jiawei, the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

He was also a titled Douluo.

"Hmm?" Xu Jiawei carefully examined Qian Daoliu, using his spiritual power to try to probe Qian Daoliu's true cultivation level, but ultimately failed, and felt a chill run down his spine.

It seems this person is perhaps much more powerful than Dai Hao just described.

But it's also possible that they've cultivated some kind of hidden-level secret technique.

Xu Jiawei wasn't sure which situation it was, but he didn't want to ask about such private matters directly, so he suppressed his doubts and put on a smile.

"You want to go to the palace's library?"

Qian Daoliu hummed in agreement: "That's right, I need to consult some ancient texts."

As he spoke, he glanced intentionally or unintentionally at a certain corner.

Xu Jiawei pondered for a moment: "I wonder what kind of information Brother Qian is looking for, or if he wants to learn some unknown secrets. Perhaps I can help."

Qian Daoliu slowly shook his head: "The information I am looking for can only be found in ancient texts."

Xu Jiawei glanced at Dai Hao.

Dai Hao nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Jiawei deliberately feigned a troubled expression, and after a long while agreed: "Since Dai Hao has spoken, I will naturally give him face. You may freely enter and leave the library, but the books inside cannot be taken out of the palace."

Qian Daoliu clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you."

Xu Jiawei waved his hand casually: "Brother Qian has come from afar, no need to be so polite. I'll have Dai Hao take you to the library later. I'll have someone arrange accommodations for you first, since there are so many books that I estimate you won't be able to finish reading them all in a short time."

"Alright." Qian Daoliu changed the subject: "But before that, I'd like to ask, haven't you thought about doing anything about those evil soul masters lurking in Star Luo City?"
