Chapter 150 Harvest: The Burning Soul
When Elder Lu returned to the palace with Ye Nanxiao and Xu Jiujiu, the entire palace was under martial law, with numerous fully armed soldiers guarding its perimeter.
Along the main road leading to the palace, squads equipped with sophisticated soul tools patrolled back and forth, with a soul tool fortress at each intersection.
Old Lu flew all the way to the entrance of Xu Jiawei's council hall.
Ten soul-guided fortresses sat outside the main hall, with White Tiger guards wearing flying soul-guided devices in the air above.
"His Majesty is inside," said Old Master Lu, pointing to the council hall.
After a long while, he nodded and pulled Ye Nanxiao inside.
Inside the main hall, Xu Jiawei sat at his desk, looking at the intelligence report in his hand with a serious expression, while Dai Hao stood beside him.
The elderly men stood quietly in the main hall, expressionless, awaiting Xu Jiawei's orders.
When Xu Jiujiu led Ye Nanxiao in, everyone in the hall focused their attention on the two of them.
When Xu Jiawei caught a glimpse of the two holding hands tightly, his facial expression softened.
Elder Luo, standing in the group, stepped forward and came to Ye Nanxiao's side. He carefully examined Ye Nanxiao's injuries and asked with concern, "Are your injuries serious?"
Feeling the genuine care from Elder Luo, Ye Nanxiao felt a warm current flow through his heart.
Ye Nanxiao grinned and said, "The injury isn't serious. I'll recover in a few days."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old woman dressed in a white robe turned to look at Ye Nanxiao, a kind smile on her face, and a light shone from her body, falling on Ye Nanxiao.
As the light fell upon him, a surge of vital energy flowed into his body, rapidly restoring his damaged meridians.
The warm feeling made Ye Nanxiao close his eyes comfortably.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ye Nanxiao's injuries were completely healed.
"Ye Nanxiao, thank you very much, senior." Ye Nanxiao clasped his hands and bowed to the white-robed old woman in gratitude.
The old woman in white robes smiled and said, "Young friend, there's no need for such formalities."
Xu Jiawei put down the intelligence in his hand, nodded to the old woman in the white dress, and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior Doctor Douluo. Nanxiao, Xingluo bears a great responsibility for what happened tonight. I will give you an explanation later."
As the heart of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City was silently infiltrated by the enemy, making Xu Jiawei realize that Star Luo still did not pay enough attention to the matter of soul tools.
"Tonight's matter must be dealt with swiftly. Duke White Tiger will be in charge." Xu Jiawei took out a military tally and handed it to Dai Hao.
Dai Hao knelt on one knee, took the military tally, and led the group of elders away from the council hall.
Elder Luo and the Immortal Doctor Douluo were left behind by Xu Jiawei.
Xu Jiawei stood up, quickly walked to Xu Jiujiu, carefully checked her over, breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes slightly red, and said, "It's good that you're alright!"
Elder Luo asked, "Young friend Ye, have you made any progress on tonight's events? In Xingluo City, thousands of people suddenly had their minds controlled, and more than a dozen soul-guided squads were entangled and controlled by strange black shadows, launching a major attack on the palace."
"What happened tonight was because the evil spirit masters were after me; I was their target," Ye Nanxiao said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Elder Luo frowned, his face filled with confusion as he asked, "An evil soul master? Why is that?"
"Perhaps my martial spirit is a great tonic for them." Ye Nanxiao concealed part of the fact that the Evil Phoenix craved his blood.
Xu Jiawei paced back and forth a couple of times, then looked at Ye Nanxiao and said, "I have already sent someone to Shrek Academy, and I believe someone will arrive soon. You should rest and recuperate in the palace for the next few days. What happened today was my oversight, and Xingluo will compensate you."
Ye Nanxiao shook his head and said, "Your Majesty need not do this. They came for me. In the end, it was I who implicated the princess."
Xu Jiujiu gripped Ye Nanxiao's large hand tightly, glared at him, and said with displeasure, "Call me Jiujiu! And this isn't about being implicated!"
Ye Nanxiao secretly tried to break free slightly, only to find that Xu Jiujiu was holding him very tightly.
Xu Jiawei had a bright smile on his face as he looked at Ye Nanxiao and Xu Jiujiu with satisfaction in his eyes.
"By the way, I captured one of the evil spirit masters who launched the attack tonight, and I also got a soul tool." Ye Nanxiao flipped his hand and took out the ice bottle that had previously sealed the one-eyed ghost face.
A fierce glint flashed in Xu Jiawei's eyes. "You've captured an evil spirit master?"
Old Luo strode forward, and two rings, one large and one small, appeared in his left hand.
Two rings sucked up the ice bottle in Ye Nanxiao's hand, and the two rings, one large and one small, were placed on the ice bottle, flipping against each other and emitting a pale blue light.
After carefully sensing it, Elder Luo sighed and said, "This is a fragment of a soul, not the true body of that evil soul master."
"A split soul?" Ye Nanxiao looked at the eyeball inside the ice bottle.
"Yes, the methods of evil soul masters are extremely strange, and some cannot even be viewed through the lens of common sense," said the Healer Douluo.
Ye Nanxiao took out the frozen and sealed Candle Soul Flame and floated it among the group.
Old Luo leaned forward to examine it closely, circling the Candle Soul Flame as he said, "Is this the soul tool that fooled those old guys' senses?"
"Could you break the seal? Let me examine it carefully?" Elder Luo asked Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao nodded, made a hand seal with one hand, and the ice on the Candle Soul Flame instantly melted away.
Two enormous, jet-black crescent-shaped blades appeared behind Elder Luo; these were the martial souls of Luo Rui, the Moon-Asking Douluo, the Crescent Moon Ghost Scythe.
With one hand covering the Candle Soul Flame, Luo Rui's Crescent Moon Ghost Scythe spun rapidly behind him.
After a moment, Elder Luo withdrew his martial spirit and said to Xu Jiawei, "I did not find any evil power in this soul tool, nor any spiritual imprint. I will conduct further analysis in the laboratory later."
Xu Jiawei looked at Ye Nanxiao, seeking Ye Nanxiao's opinion, after all, this was the spoils of war that Ye Nanxiao had intercepted.
Ye Nanxiao nodded. Luo Lao's initiative to offer further analysis was exactly what he wanted. With his current abilities, he only had a rough understanding of the knowledge of level nine soul tools, and it would be difficult for him to analyze and master the use of the Candle Soul Blaze on his own.
If one can master the use of the Candle Soul Blaze, it would undoubtedly be a good thing.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao agree, Elder Luo laughed and said, "This soul tool is a top-tier soul tool among shielded soul tools. I will return it to you after I analyze it. You didn't see the expressions of those old guys before. They looked down on soul tools, hahaha."
The Immortal Doctor Douluo raised his hand and coughed twice, immediately silencing the laughing Elder Luo.
"Didn't you sense it either?" said the Healer Douluo.
Professor Luo stammered, "That's right, I was in the lab at the time, this matter..."
"Alright, you're not young anymore, you're getting on in years. Stop bickering all the time, or the younger generation will laugh at you." The Healer Douluo said with a helpless expression.
Like a child who has made a mistake, Elder Luo lowered his head and accepted the criticism from the Immortal Doctor Douluo.
In terms of qualifications, the Healer Douluo Wang Xian'er is a senior figure in the Star Luo Empire and the deputy head of the Royal Offering Hall, wholeheartedly protecting the Star Luo Empire.
In front of the Immortal Doctor Douluo, Elder Luo really is just a child.
Seeing this, Ye Nanxiao was about to take out some melon seeds and sit on a small stool to listen carefully when Old Luo gave him a look and advised him against it.
Considering that he would have to stay at Juxingtang for a few more days, Ye Nanxiao thought it would be better to make a quick getaway.
"Jiujiu, stay here!" Seeing that his sweet little girl was about to follow the fox that wagged its tail, Xu Jiawei quickly called out to stop Xu Jiujiu.
After a long while, she turned back to look at Xu Jiawei, her little mouth pouting.
"Be good, listen to your brother." Ye Nanxiao reached out and rubbed the little head of the boy who had been sitting for a long time.
"Let's do it again." Xu Jiujiu looked up at Ye Nanxiao, her face slightly flushed.
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao reached out and rubbed Xu Jiujiu's head again. The latter looked quite pleased, enjoying it like a kitten.
When Ye Nanxiao returned to Juxing Hall, he happened to run into a patrol team.
The soldiers in the group only glanced at Ye Nanxiao, while the leader, a muscular man, carried two crimson soul-guided warhammers on his back.
The burly man kept his eyes fixed on Ye Nanxiao, then suddenly raised his hand to greet him.
When someone greeted him, Ye Nanxiao waved back.
"Brother Ye, I've finally met you in person today," the burly man said, stopping to speak.
"Do you know me?" Ye Nanxiao glanced at the soul-guided warhammer on the burly man's back and judged that it was a pair of level eight soul-guided devices.
"Brother Ye is quite famous in Xingluo City. Not only me, but many of my brothers have heard your stories from the teahouse, for example," the burly man said with a smile, gesturing with his hands as if counting how many stories of Ye Nanxiao he had heard.
"Hello, goodbye, I have to go now!" Upon hearing that it was another story about him among the common people, Ye Nanxiao's expression suddenly turned serious, and he quickly slipped away.
He never wanted to hear a completely new version of the story again.
After watching Ye Nanxiao walk away, the burly man ordered the team, "Continue patrolling. I'll see Brother Ye off."
The team accepted the order and continued patrolling along the designated route.
The burly man walked to a corner, looked around, took out a small and exquisite pink communication soul tool from his storage soul tool, left a message on it, and quickly caught up with the group in front.
"Still lively and energetic, looks perfectly fine," the burly man muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, on the Sun and Moon Continent, inside the Mingde Hall.
In a pale gold hall with a metallic style, a short, stout middle-aged man sat upright in the main chair. In front of the middle-aged man, a young man was crawling on the ground, his body trembling slightly from time to time.
"Get up," the middle-aged man's voice rang out.
"Master, our spies have sent back news about the matter we were concerned about," the young man quickly stood up and said respectfully, bowing his head.
Jing Hongchen looked at the young man expressionlessly and coldly uttered a single word: "Speak."
"The target is suspected of being targeted by someone else," the young man said quickly.
Waving the young man away, Jing Hongchen's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he muttered to himself, "Being targeted by someone else? Who could it be? I hope you don't disappoint me, otherwise, Meng'er's matter will give me a real headache."
"Gluttonous Douluo, hmph, five years from now, I wonder if you, this gluttonous beast, can withstand this toad." Jing Hongchen turned and walked towards the back hall.
Stopping in front of a wall with metal carvings, Jing Hongchen's chest lit up with a golden rune, which quickly flew into the wall.
The next moment, the wall in front of Jing Hongchen seemed to come alive, and with a slight clicking sound, the wall began to transform into pieces of moving metal.
A crack appeared in the middle of the wall, from which several terrifying energy fluctuations flashed by. Jing Hongchen also disappeared instantly, flashing into the wall. After Jing Hongchen went in, the wall immediately returned to its original state.
In a huge secret chamber, Jing Hongchen quietly looked at a metal pillar in the center of the room. The pillar was only about the size of one person's embrace, and its core magic array was engraved all over it, occasionally emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.
The Investiture Platform, which Xiao Hongchen had previously photographed, now lay quietly on the metal pillar.
The white aura swirling on the Conferred God Platform slowly transformed into the shape of a soul beast. Just as it was about to take shape, all the core magic arrays on the metal pillar lit up, dispersing the aura that was about to solidify.
A smile appeared on Jing Hongchen's face. He stretched out his right hand and ran it across the metal pillar. The metal pillar immediately deformed, and the part in the middle that supported the Conferred God Platform slowly sank into the metal pillar.
Jing Hongchen's voice echoed in the secret chamber: "Don't worry, I will make good use of your power. As for the danger of possessing a treasure, who has Mingde Hall ever feared?"
After checking that all the core magic arrays on the metal pillar were in order, Jing Hongchen turned and walked to a corner of the secret chamber, where a thick chain scythe was floating in the air.
On a test bench next to the chains, there was a lot of information about Ye Nanxiao.
The New Year's Day holiday is over already.
