Chapter 3760: Chapter 3606
Upon seeing Yueguan appear before his eyes, Xu Sheng exclaimed in surprise, "Elder Ju, how come you're here? Weren't you supposed to keep an eye on Jiang Long Douluo and Qianjun Douluo?"
In recent days, the other party had been tracking Jiang Long and Qianjun, and from time to time, they would be detected by his spiritual power perception!
Therefore, without guessing, he knew who had given the order!
Yueguan replied coldly with a clenched fist, "Hmph, that was indeed the plan, but haven't Qianjun and Jiang Long been constantly coming to you?"
"Your Holiness decided they posed no threat to the Pope Hall and gave up surveillance on them!"
Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "I see. Elder Ju, are you here for something else then?"
Yueguan did not deny and said directly, "Yes, not long ago, the Hao Tian Clan sent a reply, just as you expected. They do not agree to meet in Martial Soul City and have changed the meeting place arbitrarily!"
"As for the exact location... you might not believe it if I told you!"
Xu Sheng blurted out subconsciously, "Could it be the imperial palace?"
The only place the Hao Tian Clan could think of was there!
Yueguan looked surprised, "Hmm? How did you know? Did you get the news in advance?"
This matter should not have leaked out, but he already knew!
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, "I guessed. After all, apart from the upper three families, the only one that can make Martial Soul Hall wary is the royal household. If something happened to me in the imperial palace, the Hao Tian Clan probably thinks the royal household can't escape the blame!"
In the end, they just wanted to drag the royal household into the water!
Yueguan pondered and said, "Knowing that the Hao Tian Clan is plotting, do you still intend to go?"
Xu Sheng was not troubled by this, "Aren't Jiang Long Douluo and Qianjun Douluo protecting me? Even if those powerhouses from the Hao Tian Clan make a move, they might not be able to do anything to me!"
Upon hearing this, Yueguan replied sarcastically, "Heh heh... You really trust those two, don't you? They aren't just here to protect you!"
"To tell you the truth, those two are much harder to deal with than Gui Mei and me. Don't wait until you get to the imperial palace and before the people from the Three Sects make a move, they are the ones who butcher you first."
Xu Sheng propped up his chin, "Elder Ju, it seems like you have quite a problem with Jiang Long Douluo and Qianjun Douluo. Did they do something to anger you?"
Could there be something he didn't know about within the inner workings?
As soon as he spoke, scenes of the previous visits of Jiang Long Douluo and Qianjun Douluo to the Martial Soul Hall flashed through Yueguan's mind...
Instantly, he clenched his fists tightly...
"Of course, those fellows treated everyone like servants when they came to the Pope Hall!"
"Even Your Holiness was verbally insulted by them!"
"If it were not for the fact that our strengths were not much different, I would have made them pay a terrible price!"
...
The expressions of these strong protectors darkened instantly, "Damn it, Her Royal Highness the Princess was actually kidnapped!"
"What are we to do now? If His Majesty the Emperor takes us to task, not even ten heads would be enough to save us."
"His Majesty the Emperor values Her Royal Highness very much, otherwise, he wouldn't have sent us to protect her. Now that the Princess has been snatched away right before our eyes, it's practically a death sentence!"
"Enough talk. Let someone go inform His Majesty the Emperor; the rest of you, follow me to pursue. We must bring Her Royal Highness back!"
After leaving one person behind to notify the emperor, a group of people chased after where Evil Soul Masters had disappeared...
If they failed to bring Dai Yun'er back, they were doomed.
The Soul Masters witnessing the scene that had just unfolded were roused from their daze, their faces filled with confusion. "What... what just happened? Why did so many evil Soul Masters appear?"
"When did our Xingluo Empire have so many evil Soul Masters? Could it be the Holy Spirit Cult's minions have reached us?"
"Can someone explain what exactly happened? How did these evil Soul Masters appear and then disappear suddenly?"
"It seems like Her Royal Highness, the Princess of our Xingluo Empire, has been taken by evil Soul Masters!"
"My God, do these evil Soul Masters have a death wish? They dared to lay hands on Her Royal Highness the Princess during the Youthful Soul Master Competition!"
"If news of Her Royal Highness the Princess coming to harm within the Xingluo Empire gets out, it would be a laughing stock!"
Meanwhile, Mu Ye at the Youthful Soul Master Competition looked troubled as he said, "Elder Xu, it seems like a great number of evil Soul Masters just appeared, and in a few seconds, even Dai Yun'er's aura vanished!"
It was likely that the servant who had called her out was controlled by an evil Soul Master!
Xu Sheng remained impassive as he said, "Yes, Dai Yun'er has just been kidnapped by evil Soul Masters."
Hearing that, Mu Ye furrowed his brows. "Elder Xu, how can you show no emotion? If anything happens to this Dai Yun'er, His Majesty the Emperor might do something drastic, even cancel the exchange conference!"
If he reacted too violently, he could even turn the blame towards them, who had come from the Soul Land!
Xu Sheng glanced at him. "Since they've taken her alive, these evil Soul Masters probably won't harm Dai Yun'er's life!"
But of course, she would likely not escape torture!
...
As the evil Soul Masters completely vanished, leaving not even a trace of their malevolent presence, those tasked with protecting Dai Yun'er stood rooted to the spot...
"Damn it, we've lost her. How are we going to explain this to His Majesty the Emperor?"
"The other party must have come prepared, dispatching Soul Douluo and even Title Douluo level evil Soul Masters. Even if we catch up, we're not necessarily their match!"
"Do you still have the mood to talk nonsense here? Hurry up and find Her Royal Highness the Princess before His Majesty the Emperor gets angry!"
"Everyone split up and search with the utmost urgency; we must find Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
After these words, the powerful individuals scattered in all directions to start their search...
Little did they know that atop a certain tower, the leading evil Soul Master looked down upon the area below with a cold smirk. "Finally shook off those bugs!"
If they wanted to, they could kill their pursuers any time, but that would only draw more attention.
Another evil Soul Master beside him glanced at the unconscious Dai Yun'er and licked his crimson lips. "How should we deal with this Princess of the Xingluo Empire? Sever her limbs?"
"I think that's a good idea. I've never siphoned the blood essence of someone from the royal household before!"
"Let's keep her for now. If she's accidentally killed, the Vice Sect Hierarch will definitely be furious!"
"First, let's wake this one up. We may not be allowed to kill her, but we can still have our fun tormenting her!"
The next second, one of the evil Soul Masters used a soul skill, launching a spiritual attack directly at the comatose Dai Yun'er...
This spiritual attack then entered Dai Yun'er's body, and instantly, she was jolted awake by an agonizing pain that tore through her mind...
Unable to move an inch as her limbs were bound...
The intense suffering was almost too much for her to bear!
