Soul Land: Exposing Tang San

Chapter 204: Qian Renxue's Letter, Heading to Yue Xuan

Even though he had lived two lifetimes as a human, Tang San still understood clearly that it was extremely shameful for the man to be rejected by the woman in a marriage proposal!

The reason why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was targeting him so much now was because they believed that without Tang Hao, the Haotian Sect no longer had the strength to rival the Spirit Hall, and thus, they were not qualified to form an alliance through marriage.

"I come from the Tang Sect and I don't claim to be a good person, but I wouldn't stoop to such actions."

Tang San thought to himself: Since you look down on me, don't blame me for being ruthless to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future.

Looking at the words on the envelope, Tang San could already imagine the joyful smile on Ning Rongrong's face.

That so-called Miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been looking down on him from the beginning.

"Someday, I will make you regret!"

After setting himself another task in his heart, Tang San followed the Bright Sun Douluo back to the Haotian Sect.

Tang San also set a plan for himself.

Now that his teacher had been captured, his urgent task was to become stronger.

First, he would cultivate to level forty as quickly as possible, and then try to add a ten-thousand-year spirit ring to his Haotian Hammer Soul Ring.

That was his only way to defeat Su Yun and the Spirit Hall!

During the time Tang San returned to the Haotian Sect to cultivate, Su Yun had also been traveling through the other four Soul Master academies.

With his skills and soul power, he defeated all the teams from the four major elemental academies.

For a while, the name of Su Yun, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, became renowned throughout the continent.

"Did you hear? The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, Su Yun, defeated all the members of the five major elemental academy teams by himself!"

"I read it in the newspaper too, it's terrifying. A twelve-year-old Soul King, directly defeating seven opponents. I remember that there were Soul Ancestors among the team members of the Five Elements Academy, but they couldn't beat him even when there were seven of them combined."

"The future of the Spirit Hall seems to be on the rise. I feel like Holy Son Su might be the next Pope of the Spirit Hall."

"I feel the same way."

"Speaking of the Spirit Hall, recently they've been sending food and agricultural tools to my hometown."

"Yours too? Same here!"

"Yours too? I thought only the Spirit Hall in my hometown would do such things."

Many idle chatterers found that the branch halls of the Spirit Hall in their hometowns had begun to help the local residents.

"I didn't expect the Spirit Hall to not only give money to Soul Masters but also provide food for us ordinary people and help us farm with their soul power. This is much better than those officials who do nothing all day."

"That's right, I heard that in some cities, the taxes imposed by the city lord were secretly increased just to pocket the money."

"After collecting the taxes from the nobles, they all return them, then take seventy percent of the money from us commoners and split it."

"The city lord only takes thirty percent?"

"You don't understand, seventy percent belongs to those nobles!"

"In the shadows of the two great empires, there are countless noble and clan powers."

"The city lord can only take thirty percent, and it still depends on the favors of those nobles and clan powers. If it weren't for them representing the empire, they probably wouldn't even get one percent."

"Wouldn't they be begging for food then?"

"Haha, if they begged for food, what would the lower-class civilians in our hometown become?"

"Hiss—Looking at it this way, the Spirit Hall has indeed been doing better and better over the years."

"Tsk tsk, I heard that if the Spirit Hall hadn't insisted, the two great empires would not have been willing to provide subsidies to Soul Masters."

"Why?"

"Think about it, once there are too many Soul Masters, whose rule will be shaken?"

"You mean the heavens..."

"Shh—Brother, some things are better left unsaid between you and me."

"Alright, I'm here, I'll get off first, see you later." Su Yun got off the carriage, bidding farewell to the Soul Masters traveling with him.

After defeating the five major elemental academies, he took the opportunity on his way to the Tian Dou City to exchange some information with others and promote his own "Spirit Hall".

From the information he gathered along the way, it seemed that all the subsidiary halls of the Spirit Hall were secretly helping the common people.

This indicated that the plan had already begun.

As for why he had come to the Tian Dou City this time, Su Yun didn't know.

But thinking that the other party wouldn't harm him, Su Yun naturally came willingly.

On the way to Qian Renxue's mansion, Su Yun took the opportunity to review the rewards he had received for his missions this time.

In addition to the Body Substitution Technique he obtained after defeating the Godwind Academy for the first time, he also gained the passive ability to freely manipulate martial souls.

Simply put, he could freely shape the Blue Silver Emperor into any object he desired, which was very practical.

The larger the object condensed, the more soul power it naturally consumed.

Su Yun named this ability "Blue Silver Shapeshifting".

Later abilities included being able to summon Blue Silver Armor and Blue Silver Giants.

It was similar to the combinations of Nine-Tails and Susano'o in Naruto.

However, compared to the formidable combination formed by the latter, the armor and giant summoned by Su Yun completely overwhelmed his opponents with their formidable vitality!

As for the last reward, it enhanced the parasitic effect of Su Yun's fourth soul skill, Parasitic.

After Su Yun's Blue Silver Seed fell on the enemy, it not only absorbed the opponent's soul power but also released energy that suppressed the opponent's soul power, greatly reducing their combat effectiveness.

Now, Su Yun's soul power had unknowingly reached level fifty-two.

Coupled with the five skills he acquired, Su Yun felt that he was now able to fight against Soul Saints without falling into a disadvantage.

If he encountered someone he countered, defeating them would probably be a very simple matter.

"Find an opportunity to test my skills against someone."

As Su Yun was thinking, he had already arrived in front of Qian Renxue's mansion.

Instead of entering through the main gate, he used the characteristics of the Blue Silver Domain to conceal his presence and enter the mansion discreetly.

However, he was discovered shortly after.

"Prince Su."

The Snake Lance Douluo stood in front of Su Yun.

On weekdays, one of him and the Porcupinefish Douluo would stay here, while the other would secretly protect Qian Renxue's safety.

Su Yun clasped his hands, "Under the Snake Lance's command."

"Is Miss Xue here?"

Miss Xue?

Snake Lance Douluo felt a bit awkward about Su Yun's address.

However, he still said, "Miss is currently handling state affairs in the palace."

Su Yun nodded, "Then I'll wait here for her return."

Snake Lance Douluo: "Alright."

Under the latter's arrangement, Su Yun moved into Qian Renxue's mansion.

The time passed until evening.

Qian Renxue finally returned to the mansion under the escort of the two Title Douluo.

Su Yun stood up, greeted her with a smile, "Long time no see, Miss Xue."

Qian Renxue was momentarily stunned.

"Miss Xue?"

"Are our relationship so close?"

Pavilions, terraces, and ponds; the same location.

Su Yun rose from his seat, smiling as he gestured to Qian Renxue, "Please, have a seat."

Qian Renxue furrowed her eyebrows slightly.

How does this kid have such a lordly attitude?

Does he think this mansion belongs to him?

Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo stood behind Qian Renxue, observing Su Yun's shameless behavior.

Both of them remained silent, observing the situation.

In so many years, apart from the Grand Elder, probably only this kid dared to speak to Miss like this.

After Qian Renxue sat down, she said, "I heard about your recent deeds. You've done well and haven't embarrassed our Spirit Hall."

Qian Renxue was naturally referring to Su Yun's solo battle against the five major elemental academies.

"It just so happens that we have plans to incorporate the five major elemental academies in the future. Your accidental achievement is a good thing for us."

The Spirit Hall's plan was to establish an empire. Naturally, they wanted to establish a unified academy for centralized management.

Therefore, Su Yun's victory over the five major elemental academies was also a preparation for the establishment of their empire and the opening of academies in the future.

Su Yun smiled, "Is Miss Xue praising me for that?"

Qian Renxue's face darkened slightly, "Firstly, don't call me Miss Xue. Our relationship isn't that familiar yet."

"Secondly, there's no reward. I just wanted to praise you."

Su Yun rolled his eyes, "Stingy."

Qian Renxue almost choked on her breath.

Before she could get angry, Su Yun interrupted, "Alright, get to the point. What did you call me here for?"

Originally, Su Yun's plan was to return directly to the Spirit Hall City. However, he was intercepted by Qian Renxue and brought here.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, advising herself not to get angry with the guy in front of her.

She had been lurking in the Tian Dou Empire for many years, and her patience was quite good.

But for some reason, she felt like punching this guy in front of her.

"During this time, my scouts seem to have discovered the whereabouts of the Haotian Sect."

"Oh? Where?"

Qian Renxue shook her head, "I can't pinpoint the location for now, but I can confirm that there have been many unfamiliar people entering and leaving the imperial city recently."

"To discern their identities, I specifically ordered two elders to investigate. Based on the fluctuations in their soul power, it can be judged that they are scouts sent by the Haotian Sect."

Su Yun's eyes flickered.

He couldn't figure out why the Haotian Sect would still send scouts at this time.

Shouldn't this be their time to quietly develop?

"I've gathered many clues, and these clues ultimately point to one location."

"The Moon Pavilion in the imperial city."

Moon Pavilion.

Tang Yuehua.

Su Yun naturally knew that the Moon Pavilion was created by Tang Yuehua.

Because of her mutated martial soul, no one would suspect her identity as a member of the Haotian Sect.

With members of the Haotian Sect coming to the imperial city and exchanging information from her, most people wouldn't dare to continue investigating.

After all, behind the Moon Pavilion, there were many nobles supporting it in the Tian Dou Empire.

"Moon Pavilion?"

Su Yun pretended not to understand, "What's that place?"

Qian Renxue said, "Simply put, it's a place to cultivate noble etiquette."

"Although I don't have concrete evidence, I can guess now. The owner of the Moon Pavilion, Tang Yuehua, is probably from the Haotian Sect."

"As for why her martial soul isn't the Haotian Hammer, I think it's probably like Yu Xiaogang, both of their martial souls mutated."

"However, Tang Yuehua's mutated martial soul has unique effects."

Su Yun said, "You've said so much, what's the point of calling me here?"

Qian Renxue smiled lightly, "As the nominal crown prince of the Tian Dou Empire, I naturally can't forcibly capture Tang Yuehua."

"Therefore, I still need your help to investigate the evidence between her and the Haotian Sect."

"So that when the time comes, I can command the people of the Spirit Hall to take down the Moon Pavilion."

"This way, we can also obtain the location of the Haotian Sect."

Su Yun felt that Qian Renxue's plan was feasible.

However, he still looked strange, "First of all, why do you think I can get evidence?"

"Firstly, I'm a holy son of the Spirit Hall. If I join the Moon Pavilion, will they accept me?"

Qian Renxue said, "Of course."

"I'll use diplomatic means to say that you want to cultivate your noble demeanor. Seeing my identity as the crown prince, she'll naturally accept you."

Su Yun nodded, "Okay, second question, why should I help you?"

"My time is precious."

"If you want me to help you, you have to give me some benefits, right?"

Qian Renxue fell silent for a moment and said, "What do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun's eyes lit up.

And seeing the look in his eyes, Qian Renxue's face changed suddenly, immediately saying, "Except for me."

Su Yun's eyes dimmed again.

"That's meaningless."

Su Yun stood up to leave, "If helping you doesn't bring me any rewards, I might as well spend more time cultivating. Maybe a year later, I'll be a Title Douluo."

Qian Renxue almost laughed at Su Yun's words.

Even if you have outstanding talent, you can't become a Title Douluo that easily, right?

However, Qian Renxue still said, "Currently, because of the connection between the Moon Pavilion and the Haotian Sect, they will naturally be wary of outsiders joining."

"But with your identity, my idea is instead of sending people who might be suspected by them, it's better to send you. Maybe their suspicion towards you will decrease."

Saying that, Qian Renxue squinted her eyes slightly, "If you really want a reward, when we obtain the location of the Haotian Sect this time, I can promise you any one condition, but the condition must be something I think is acceptable."

"What do you think?"

Any one condition.

Hiss—

Both Douluos behind Qian Renxue sucked in a cold breath.

Miss's promise is quite big.

Although she made a condition, it seems that Miss has invested a lot to win over Su Yun.

Su Yun heard Qian Renxue's condition and felt that it was still acceptable.

Being able to make the proud Qian Renxue agree to one of his conditions, isn't that...

Seeing Su Yun's gradually brightening expression, Qian Renxue suddenly felt that it might have been a mistake to bring him here.

However, since the words were already spoken, she naturally wouldn't take them back.

What she wanted to do was to find an opportunity, and then destroy all those sects.

As for Su Yun, he also wanted to see what exactly the so-called noble circle was.

The two reached an agreement. The next day, Su Yun followed Qian Renxue to the door of the Moon Pavilion.
