Chapter 225: The Thoughts of the Blue Silver King
"Previously, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already broken a promise once. Now, if we want to ally again with the Haotian Sect, the price we have to pay will be much higher than before," Ning Fengzhi spoke solemnly, "We might even have to relinquish most of the benefits we would gain in the future."
Ning Fengzhi's words led to a silence from the two Titled Douluos.
Indeed, they had been too hasty before, assuming that after losing Tang Hao, the Haotian Sect would inevitably decline in strength. However, they overlooked that the Haotian Sect, having closed itself off for many years, saw its former elders not only escape constraints but also become Titled Douluos one after another.
Furthermore, Tang San, who they initially thought was just a slightly talented youth, not only didn't vanish from their sight but also went against the current, breaking limits. At just the Soul King realm of level forty, he successfully absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring, no different from Su Yun of the Spirit Hall.
This clearly demonstrated that Tang San's talent had truly awakened.
"I take responsibility for this matter; I was too eager before," Bone Douluo admitted with rare self-reproach, but he quickly added, "However, I think an alliance through marriage is still feasible."
"Now on the entire continent, besides our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess, who else is a match for Haotian Sect's Tang San?"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan doesn't have a talented girl in this generation, and among the two great empires, only Princess Xue Ke of the Heaven Dou Imperial family has some talent, but she's still far behind our Rongrong."
"The Haotian Sect should not reject our alliance."
Ning Fengzhi agreed with Bone Douluo's words, "Uncle Gu, you're right. As long as we can secure Rongrong's position as Tang San's official wife, paying some price is acceptable."
As a noble, Ning Fengzhi naturally knew that marriages among the upper class were mostly strategic; spouses often led separate lives, with an unspoken agreement as long as no one crossed the interests of both families.
Sword Douluo stood up, "In that case, I and Old Bone will personally visit the Haotian Sect to show our sincerity."
The personal involvement of two Titled Douluos was sufficient to demonstrate their sincerity; the first engagement had been merely a verbal agreement between Tang Hao and Ning Fengzhi.
Moreover, within the Haotian Sect, the only ones who could contend with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were the current Sect Master Tang Xiao and the Second Elder.
"Not enough," Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "I will go as well, and we must prepare a proper dowry. The three of us will go together to show our sincerity."
"That's very good, Fengzhi, let's do as you say," Bone Douluo agreed, thinking Ning Fengzhi's suggestion was safer.
During their conversation, the marriage of Ning Rongrong was once again settled.
At night.
Su Yun once again came to a familiar place—the residence of Qian Renxue.
Naturally, he was greeted by old acquaintances, She Mao Douluo and Ci Tun Douluo.
"Holy Son," the two Titled Douluos greeted Su Yun again, noticing that his aura had once again undergone a qualitative change compared to before, and unexpectedly gave him a salute, even though they were not from the same faction.
"Good evening to both of you," Su Yun responded politely.
Led by the two, Su Yun came to a pavilion by the lake, meeting Qian Renxue again, but this time she was dressed as Xue Qinghe.
Seeing Qian Renxue, Su Yun smiled and greeted, "Good evening."
The two Titled Douluos standing behind Qian Renxue exchanged a look, wondering why the Holy Son, who was respectful to others, became so frivolous upon seeing the young lady.
Qian Renxue didn't react much to Su Yun's behavior, merely asking indifferently, "Who was that woman with you today?"
"Sorry, that's my secret, I can't tell you," Su Yun shook his head.
Qian Renxue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Then you came here to..."
"My spirit power has reached level sixty-nine now," Su Yun suddenly interrupted her.
Qian Renxue was taken aback, "What did you say?"
"I said I've reached level sixty-nine spirit power," Su Yun stated, revealing his true spirit power unmistakably, a dense level sixty-nine spirit power that no one could question.
Level sixty-nine?!
Not only was Qian Renxue greatly surprised, but even the two Titled Douluos behind her were wide-eyed upon sensing the level of spirit power around.
How did this happen?
They clearly remembered that Su Yun was just a Soul King before. How had he almost become a Soul Saint in such a short time?! Even the lady, who had innate level twenty spirit power, was now only a Soul Emperor!
How did he achieve this?!
"How did you do it?" Qian Renxue looked at Su Yun, who sat before her calmly and collectedly. Although shocked, she still managed to suppress her inner turmoil and asked faintly.
"I went to the City of Slaughter a while ago, and then to the Sea God Island, and then I turned into what I am now," Su Yun replied.
Qian Renxue: ???
Su Yun only mentioned two places.
City of Slaughter.
Sea God Island.
She had heard about these places from her grandfather.
The City of Slaughter was supposedly a realm left by the Killing God.
Sea God Island was where the sea soul masters worshiped the Sea God.
Rumor had it that once someone entered the City of Slaughter, they could never leave, and in today's world, only Haotian Douluo Tang Hao and that woman from the Spirit Hall had come out.
And for them, the people of the Spirit Hall, Sea God Island was a taboo, generally not a place to be touched.
Qian Renxue's pupils dilated in shock as she looked at Su Yun, "You obtained the Killing God's domain?!"
Su Yun nodded with a smile.
Hiss—
Qian Renxue and the two Titled Douluos all took a sharp breath.
They were naturally aware of how rare the Killing God's domain was, and Su Yun had actually obtained it!
How powerful was he now?
"I've said all I wanted to say. This visit was just to briefly update you on my situation," Su Yun stood up, turned, and left the residence.
Inside the pavilion, the scene suddenly turned cold, with only the slight sound of the wind.
"Miss, it seems that our Holy Son is about to transform from a fledgling to a mighty eagle soaring through the skies," She Mao Douluo suddenly spoke up.
"What are you trying to say?" Qian Renxue's voice was icy cold.
Sure, here's the revised passage:
"I think if the Grand Priest knew about the current situation of Su Yun, the Holy Son, he might make a match..." Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfist Douluo expressed their inner thoughts together.
"Enough!" Qian Renxue rebuked loudly to interrupt, "Great achievements are yet to be made; I will not think about these matters of men and women. Both of you grandfathers also please mind your own status and do not overstep."
Hearing the chill in Qian Renxue's words, Snake Lance Douluo immediately bowed his head in silence, and he also saw the blaming look in Pufferfist Douluo's eyes. It was only after Qian Renxue had left that the two raised their heads and stood up.
"Why do you talk so much?" Pufferfist Douluo complained to his old friend, "With our status, should you be the one to speak these words?"
Snake Lance Douluo shook his head and said, "If it were in the past, I naturally would not have spoken. At that time, the Holy Son Su Yun was merely a little talented, but now can't you see his terror?"
"A thirteen-year-old Soul Emperor! Even the young miss couldn't do it."
"The woman at the Pope's Temple will definitely abdicate in the future, who do you think she will pass the position to?"
Pufferfist Douluo was silent for a while, then said, "If we are to look at strength, it would probably be this Su Yun."
Snake Lance Douluo chuckled and said, "But you must know, although that woman holds the title of Pope, she was originally just a tool supported by the Grand Priest to stabilize the Spirit Hall. The former Pope was Lord Qianxun Ji, and the future Pope should also rightly be the young miss."
"The young miss, after all, is a woman, and the Qian family's lineage must be carried on; she will definitely need to marry. Considering the young miss's current status, how many people on this entire continent are worthy of her?"
"Or rather, which man do you think is most suitable?"
Pufferfist Douluo was silent again for a while; the answer was on the tip of his tongue—Su Yun.
"What I actually wanted to do today was to break the awkwardness for the young miss; the Qian family's lineage can only rely on the young miss to carry on, and I have already reached my limit by mentioning this much," Snake Lance Douluo said.
"Why did you have to involve me?" Pufferfist Douluo asked.
"To bolster courage."
...
While Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone Douluo secretly went to the Hao Tian Sect to discuss the marriage proposal, Su Yun, under the guidance of Ah Yin, took the latter to the location of the Blue Silver King.
As soon as they landed, Su Yun and Ah Yin released the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor from their bodies, and immediately sensed a calling from deep within.
After the two entered, passing through a swath of light blue Blue Silver grass, Su Yun faced the existence of the Blue Silver King.
"My emperor! You have actually come back?!" The Blue Silver King, sensing the familiar aura on Ah Yin, was immediately shocked.
"Yes, I have returned, it's been hard on you to take care of these children during this time." Ah Yin stroked the tendrils of the Blue Silver King, infusing them with the unique aura and soul power of the Blue Silver Emperor, warming the latter's heart.
The Blue Silver grasses at Ah Yin's feet also thrived robustly due to her return.
"But my emperor, weren't you already... Your child..." The Blue Silver King remembered the words Tang San and Tang Hao had told him when they visited. Because of the bloodline Tang San carried, he was very kind to the latter and believed their words completely, but now his emperor had actually returned in human form, which made his mind a bit unable to turn around.
Speaking of Tang San and Tang Hao, Ah Yin's expression darkened, and she immediately shared the truth and her experiences during this time with the Blue Silver King. After hearing Ah Yin's words, the Blue Silver King was greatly shocked.
He had not expected that the murderer who had killed his noble emperor was the emperor's husband!
Humans really are no good at all!
The Blue Silver King was even more shocked that the emperor's child had also been possessed!
Then he himself...
Luckily, the attempt to help that scoundrel awaken his spirit had failed, otherwise, he would have become the only criminal in the history of the Blue Silver grass tribe!
But thinking about this, the Blue Silver King felt a burning anger in his chest.
Back then, to help Tang San evolve his spirit, he had depleted the energy of most of the Blue Silver grasses present, causing a great burden to the tribe!
"These two
scoundrels! One day, I will make them pay!" the Blue Silver King shouted angrily.
Ah Yin smiled faintly: "Don't be so angry, Tang Hao has already been killed by a hundred thousand-year Titan Giant Ape in the Star Dou Great Forest. As for the one who took my child's body, I will take care of him myself."
In her words, the Blue Silver King could feel the rage in his emperor's heart was not less than his own.
At that moment, the Blue Silver King also finally noticed Su Yun.
He then realized that Su Yun was the one Tang San and Tang Hao had spoken of as the one who had taken the spirit.
At that time, he had been united with Tang San and Tang Hao against a common enemy, but now it seemed that Su Yun was actually his emperor's savior: "So you are the one who saved my emperor, truly a handsome and distinguished young man."
The Blue Silver King used the few adjectives he knew.
Su Yun was quite pleased and smiled, saying, "Thank you for the compliment."
Ah Yin added, "Little Su Yun, currently my soul power may not be as
useful as yours, can you help my subjects with your soul power?"
Su Yun nodded: "Of course."
The Blue Silver King was momentarily startled: "My emperor, although you have become his spirit, how could his soul power quality surpass yours? You are the supreme emperor after all."
A hundred thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, in the eyes of the Blue Silver King and many Blue Silver grasses, was the most noble and powerful!
Ah Yin smiled and shook her head: "Just watch."
During the conversation, Su Yun had already summoned his own spirit, the Time Goddess·Blue Silver Divine Tree. As his soul power spread to himself and spread, all the Blue Silver grass in the tribe, including other plant spirits, grew vigorously as if they had been injected with adrenaline!
Even the soul power of the Blue Silver King, which had been stagnant for many years, also felt itself climbing, seemingly striving towards a higher level!
"This is..." Looking at the woman who looked exactly like his emperor but with a completely different temperament, the Blue Silver King was also stunned.
Ah Yin smiled and told the Blue Silver King that Su Yun had received the inheritance of the gods. The Blue Silver King was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
There really were gods!
It turned out that the gods had merged their emperor with the divine path of time to form a new spirit!
No wonder even his emperor felt inferior.
The Blue Silver King suddenly felt that Su Yun's spirit seemed more like the Blue Silver Emperor than his own emperor.
"I will stay here for a few days, using my soul power to help the Blue Silver grass tribe grow faster, and also help you clear the surrounding spirit beasts," Su Yun knew that most of the Blue Silver grass did not have strong abilities and were easy for other plant spirits to encroach on their territory, so he prepared to lend a hand, after all, he was going to be a relative...
The Blue Silver King was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he was powerful, he could only protect the central area of the Blue Silver grasses, and sometimes he could only watch as territory was taken and feel helpless. He then thanked Su Yun profusely.
That night.
Ah Yin stayed deep inside to accompany her subjects, while Su Yun was outside knocking around other plant spirits, occasionally giving them a bit of soul power, a slap followed by a sweet date.
As for some animal spirits, after Su Yun poked them a few times, they quickly learned their lesson, promising to be good bodyguards for the Blue Silver grass tribe.
Meanwhile, deep within the Blue Silver grass tribe.
The Blue Silver King thought of Su Yun, then glanced at Ah Yin, who was comforting the other weak Blue Silver grass children, and his heart suddenly harbored another thought.
