Not long thereafter!
Outside Martial Soul City!
Sitting atop a luxurious carriage, surrounded by the protective Sky Dou Empire Soldiers was Xue Xing...
He immediately raised his eyes to look at the large characters "Martial Soul City" above...
"We've finally arrived in Martial Soul City. It took longer than expected, didn't it? Poison Douluo?"
With his hands clasped behind his back, Du Gu Bo casually replied, "Hmm, there is indeed some distance from the imperial palace to Martial Soul City, but arriving safely is enough!"
These soldiers were just ordinary people, not Soul Masters; naturally, they could not be too fast!
Dugu Yan, who had not ridden in a carriage, had a face full of resentment and had no wish to speak another word...
Owing to the conspicuity of the scene, both commoners and Soul Masters couldn't help casting curious and surprised looks...
"Look, isn't that... That's someone from the Tian Dou Imperial Family, right? They are protected by so many Sky Dou Empire Soldiers!"
"It's probably not just someone of royal status; more likely it's a prince!"
"Wait... I seem to have seen that person from afar once, if I'm not mistaken, that should be Prince Xue Xing!"
"What? Prince Xue Xing? That... That can't be, right? Prince Xue Xing, besides Emperor Xue Ye, is the most distinguished person in the entire Tiandou Empire. What would such a person come to Martial Soul City for??"
"Who knows, it's not something we commoners should concern ourselves with, just watch quietly!"
Hearing these words of praise and respect, Xue Xing felt very comfortable and immediately stood up, slowly descending from the carriage with his hands behind his back...
He then commanded in an unquestionable tone to the Sky Dou Empire Soldiers behind him, "Follow me into Martial Soul City!"
Everyone responded in unison, "Yes!"
Subsequently, they intended to proceed into Martial Soul City...
However, members of the Spirit Hall, who were in charge of guarding this place, couldn't help but exchange looks, clearly troubled...
After some hesitation, they still chose to stop Xue Xing and his entourage...
The man in the lead took a deep breath, "Please hold, to enter Martial Soul City, you need to show..."
Before he could finish, Xue Xing's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he rebuked, "You dare to stop me? Don't you know who I am?"
"I am Prince Xue Xing of the Tiandou Empire, step aside at once!"
Being stopped in full public view was like slapping the face of the entire royal household!
The former revealed a troubled expression, "Sorry, regardless of who you are, if you do not show proof, you cannot enter Martial Soul City!"
Xue Xing narrowed his eyes, "And what if I insist on entering Martial Soul City??"
As soon as those words fell, the Spirit Hall members swiftly raised their shields and spears, ready for combat...
At that moment, Du Gu Bo stepped forward and said coldly, "Truly seeking death!!"
"Boom"
An awe-inspiring pressure erupted instantly, sending the Spirit Hall members flying several meters away, crashing hard onto the ground...
Those who recovered their wits showed a look of horror in their eyes...
"Title... Title Douluo level of strength!!"
If they had known the opponents had someone of this level among them, they wouldn't have dared to block them!!
Without even glancing at them, Du Gu Bo spoke again, "Now, may we enter?"
"Of, of course..."
"Who is it that dares to cause trouble in my Martial Soul City, and seeks death?"
The speaker was Yueguan, who, sensing the powerful aura, had hurried over immediately!!
Seeing the arrival of the former, the leading Spirit Hall member's face lit up with joy, pointing at Du Gu Bo and his companions, "Chrysanthemum Douluo, it is they who wish to forcefully enter Martial Soul City!"
Upon hearing this, Yueguan immediately looked over and saw familiar faces, his expression turning frigid...
"Old freak, so it's you who wants to barge into Martial Soul City? Do you really hold me in such low regard!"
I had clearly warned them, yet they still dared to take action!!
The corners of Du Gu Bo's mouth curled slightly, "Chrysanthemum Guan, you may have misunderstood. The reason I disciplined these Spirit Hall soldiers is because they were disrespectful to Prince Xue Xing!"
Upon hearing this, Yueguan's gaze shifted to the left...
Only then did he clearly see the expressionless Xue Xing...
He instinctively exclaimed, "Xue... Prince Xue Xing??"
Xue Xing just coldly "hmm"ed and said irritably, "Disciplining those Spirit Hall members was my order, does Chrysanthemum Douluo have a problem with that?"
Yueguan shook his head and denied, "Of course not, it's just that if Prince Xue Xing was coming to Martial Soul City, why not notify us in advance so we could prepare!"
"That way, surely no misunderstanding would have arisen!"
Damn it, I thought it was the old monster causing trouble on purpose!
Who would have thought that Prince Xue Xing would come too!
Xue Xing spoke with a face full of disdain, "The entire Martial Soul City belongs to the Tian Dou Imperial Family, do I really need to inform Spirit Hall if I want to come here?"
Hearing these words, Yueguan's eyes flashed with anger, but he still endured...
Nevertheless, he reminded, "Prince Xue Xing, you should be aware that Pope Hall controls Martial Soul City!"
Xue Xing immediately sensed the implication and his tone grew increasingly hostile, "Chrysanthemum Douluo, are you... warning me with that statement?"
Du Gu Bo, who was beside him, barely stifled a laugh and indignantly scolded, "Chrysanthemum Guan, how dare you be so unreasonable towards Prince Xue Xing!"
Yueguan didn't expect Du Gu Bo to suddenly get involved in the conversation and immediately used his spiritual power to communicate, "Old freak, I'll remember what happened today and settle accounts with you later!"
He then explained, "Whatever Prince Xue Xing says, my intention in saying that was to convey that Pope Hall controls Martial Soul City, and after today, these Spirit Hall members won't obstruct you!"
Only then did Xue Xing show some arrogance, "That's more like it. I thought Spirit Hall didn't even regard the royal household, in which case, there'd be no need for it to continue existing!"
Without the support of the royal household, Spirit Hall is nothing!
Yueguan clenched his fists, glancing sideways at the Spirit Hall members behind him, "What are you still looking at? Why not open the way? Such idiots, daring to obstruct Prince Xue Xing!"
"Yes, Elder Ju!!"
With that, the Spirit Hall members quickly opened the large gate into Martial Soul City...
Only then did Yueguan invite, "Prince Xue Xing, please..."
Seeing this, Xue Xing resumed his stance with hands clasped behind his back and strode into Martial Soul City...
And Du Gu Bo along with the accompanying Sky Dou Empire soldiers followed closely behind...
Of course, the former did not forget to cast a mocking glance...
This infuriated Yueguan to the point where he wanted to attack right then and there and give the other a good thrashing...
But he knew he could not do that!
Now that Spirit Hall still needed the support of the royal household, he couldn't afford to offend them so carelessly!
For now, he had to endure the humiliation suffered, in the future, he would repay it a hundredfold, a thousandfold!!
