Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

Inside the Haotian Sect's carriage, Tang Yuehua only withdrew her gaze after Di Hong had boarded the carriage.

Tang Hao raised an eyebrow at her and teased, "Yuehua, why don't we find an opportunity to bring that Di Hong over here, so my brother and I can take a closer look and get to know him?"

"Let me check it out for you."

"Second Brother." Tang Yuehua scolded playfully, then turned her head away, but her face turned red at a visible speed.

"I wonder if his small frame can withstand my Clear Sky Hammer." Tang Hao leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.

The journey from Heaven Dou City to Spirit City takes about twenty days. After all, it's a whole caravan, and the speed of the carriages is naturally not as fast as that of the Spirit Masters. If it were just the Spirit Masters' own speed, it would be much faster.

The exchange meeting will begin a month later.

Inside the carriage.

Xue Ye was talking with Ning Fengzhi. The current situation was very favorable to him. Although this Soul Master Exchange Meeting was a bit of icing on the cake, it was the final blow he was preparing for Xue Yu.

"Given the current situation, as long as the Di Hong brothers achieve a good result, even if Father Emperor favors the second brother, he will no longer support him."

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly.

Di Hong smiled slightly: "Your Highness, please rest assured. Although it may sound like I'm boasting, I still have to say that among Soul Masters of the same level, I don't think anyone can be my match."

"Moreover, the highest soul power among all the participants at this Soul Master Exchange Meeting is only level 70."

"I believe you." Xue Ye had no doubt whatsoever, and even Ning Fengzhi did not doubt what Di Hong said. Di Hong's talent was evident, whether it was the quality of his martial soul or the level of his soul power, he was confident in saying such a thing.

"My second brother's people also participated in this exchange meeting; one of them was a Soul Emperor at level 68."

"This is his information."

On a snowy night, Xueye handed a message to Dihong.

"Yin Xuan, Soul Power Level 68, Soul Rings: Two Yellow, Two Purple, Two Black, Martial Soul: Dark Raven."

After reading the message, Di Hong asked, "Does Your Highness want me to defeat him, or...?"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was self-evident.

Xue Ye shook his head: "There's no need. Defeating him is enough. Yin Xuan is the strongest Soul Master under my second brother's command. Defeating him is sufficient. There's no need to kill him."

"This is a duel between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince," Ning Fengzhi said at the opportune moment.

"Is it really that simple?" Di Hong was somewhat uncertain. Just defeating Yin Xuan seemed a bit too easy.

“Sometimes, things aren’t that complicated; they’re actually quite simple,” Ning Fengzhi said.

Xueye also said, "But you have to be careful. Just because you don't kill him doesn't mean he won't kill you."

"My second brother has always believed that those who obey prosper and those who defy perish."

"With the support of his father, he has become too reckless. Apart from the ministers who support him, many people are dissatisfied with him, but dare not say anything for fear of retaliation."

"He certainly doesn't want to see a genius like you on my side."

"If he can't win you over, getting rid of you is the best way."

"Understood." Di Hong sighed helplessly. The struggles within the royal family were truly direct; if they couldn't get something, they would eliminate it. What had he done to deserve this?

This exchange meeting is mainly between the two great empires. It is almost impossible for soul masters from the same country to meet. Of course, rules are made by people, and since there are rules, there is the possibility of manipulating them. Since Xue Ye has told him this, the possibility of him meeting Yin Xuan is very high.

"Your Highness, are there any members of the Spirit Hall participating?"

He was curious whether Bibi Dong would participate in this Soul Master Exchange Meeting, after all, she was a genius with innate full soul power and a member of the Spirit Hall.

Xueye thought for a moment and said, "There is one, it's Bibi Dong, the student of their Pope."

Chapter 46 Arriving at Wuhun City

As a sacred place in the hearts of all soul masters across the continent, Wuhun City holds an extremely high position in the soul master world. This has allowed the Wuhun Hall to achieve a status on par with the two great empires.

Meanwhile, the Pope's Hall, one of the two main halls of the Spirit Hall, is located in Spirit City.

Both empires considered it a thorn in their side, but due to the situation on the continent, neither would dare to attack the city, especially the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Although they were dissatisfied with the Spirit Hall, they could only let it develop within the empire. After all, without the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire might not have survived to this day. The Douluo Continent is currently maintaining a delicate balance.

The Spirit Hall is the scale that balances things; they will not allow one side to become too powerful, nor will they allow the other side to become too weak.

Therefore, in recent years, the Heavenly Dou Empire has been weak and its national strength is not as good as that of the Star Luo Empire. The Spirit Hall has been secretly helping the Heavenly Dou Empire to try to bring the two empires back into balance.

However, given the current situation of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, they really have no choice. They were already no match for the Star Luo Empire, and now their royal family is fighting amongst themselves. It's like they've been given a chance but they've failed. The weaker the country, the fiercer the infighting.

On the way to Wuhun City, Xueye and his group initially had a small procession of less than a thousand people. However, as more and more people escorted them, the procession grew to more than ten thousand people as they were about to leave the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Finally, after twenty days, the team arrived at Wuhun City.

"So this is Wuhun City."

Di Hong was somewhat surprised. He had thought that as the city where the Spirit Hall was located, Spirit City would be very prosperous, but when he saw it, he found that the city was far too deserted.

Wuhun City is not large, not even half the size of Silves City, but it is extremely well-defended, and all the patrols and guards are Soul Masters. Six powerful Martial Soul reliefs are carved on the six walls of the city.

Among them is the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit.

"I wonder if my Vermilion Bird Martial Soul will remain here in the future."

The martial spirits that can be engraved on this are all powerful martial spirits.

"Perhaps there's a chance." Xue Ye walked over and smiled as she looked at the tall city wall in front of her. Although the Wuhun City wall was not as tall as the Tiandou City wall, it was still eighty meters high.

"This Spirit City was entirely funded and built by the Spirit Hall itself, so its defenses are extremely high. Coupled with the Spirit Hall's own formidable strength, even if the seven major sects joined forces, they might not be able to conquer it."

Looking at the city before him, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh. He was confident that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's financial resources were among the best in the entire Douluo Continent, but they couldn't build a city like this. Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, they simply couldn't afford it.

A city like this must be top-notch in both material selection and craftsmanship.

"No matter how high the defense is, it's useless. If the Haotian Hammer hits it, the wall will still collapse."

Tang Hao and his group walked over. Tang Hao was not afraid of the Spirit Hall at all. In his opinion, the Clear Sky Sect was the strongest, and even the Spirit Hall had to be afraid of it.

He had no respect whatsoever for the Spirit Hall.

Compared to Tang Hao, Tang Xiao was much more composed. However, he also agreed with his second brother's words, though not entirely. Others might not know, but he knew that although the Haotian Sect was glorious, it was entirely supported by his grandfather, Tang Chen.

Although his father, Tang Wei, was also a Title Douluo, he suffered a severe injury in his early years and his health had always been poor, so he could not fully exert the strength of a Title Douluo unless he was willing to die.

He and his second brother, Tang Hao, had been cultivating diligently for the future of the Clear Sky Sect. As long as they both became Title Douluo, the Clear Sky Sect would still be the number one sect in the world. At that time, they would not only be a sect with two Douluo, but a sect with four Douluo.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Sect Leader Ning."

Tang Xiao clasped his hands in a respectful greeting to Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi.

The two returned the greeting slightly.

"The Haotian Sect truly lives up to its name. Just by looking at your bearing, you two are worthy of being the number one sect in the world." Ning Fengzhi praised without reservation. As a support-type sect, he naturally wanted to make many friends and few enemies.

It is essential to be on good terms with the Haotian Sect.

"Sect Leader Ning wouldn't mistreat the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; his judgment of people is truly exceptional." Tang Hao clasped his hands in a salute, his tone filled with pride.

If a disciple of the Haotian Sect doesn't have pride, then he doesn't deserve to be the Haotian Sect's number one genius.

Tang Xiao smiled helplessly at the group. He couldn't do anything about his younger brother, Tang Hao. He had always been like this, a bit willful and reckless, and outspoken. To put it nicely, he was straightforward.

That's too easy to offend people.

Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye simply smiled and shook their heads; they had heard of Tang Hao's reputation.

Di Hong found it rather strange; was this Tang Hao really Tang San's father?

He felt that Tang Hao was a bit of a simpleton.

At this moment, Tang Yuehua walked over, bowed to everyone, and behaved with great poise and elegance, just like a true noblewoman, which was in stark contrast to her two brothers.

Standing next to Tang Yuehua, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao looked like bodyguards.

"Yuehua, you're here too." Di Hong was somewhat surprised. Tang Yuehua wasn't a Soul Master, yet she had come to participate in the Soul Master Exchange Meeting.

"I came with my two older brothers to broaden my horizons and to cheer them on." Tang Yuehua's tone was very gentle, but there was a hint of something unreadable in her eyes as she looked at Di Hong.

"What? They came here for Di Hong, but they're using us as an excuse." Tang Hao muttered under his breath.

Tang Yuehua's smile remained unchanged, but she subtly moved closer to Tang Hao, and then pinched him hard when no one was paying attention. However, because her strength was too weak, Tang Hao did not feel any pain at all. After all, he had cultivated for so many years, and his muscles were extremely strong.

Tang Hao looked Di Hong up and down, then smiled and walked over to him, gently patting him on the shoulder.

Although he thought the force was small, it was quite a lot for Di Hong. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been knocked down after a few blows, after all, it was a sledgehammer being swung.

"You saved my sister, and our Haotian Sect hasn't thanked you yet."

"If you ever need anything in the future, just come to me. As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I'll take care of it for you."

"From now on, you are my brother-in-law."

"Huh?" Di Hong was taken aback and looked at Tang Hao in astonishment. Even Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye were stunned. Not only them, but everyone around them was stunned.

Everyone is speculating about the relationship between Di Hong and Haotian Sect.

Some people looked at Di Hong, then at Tang Yuehua.

The red and blue combination is nice, but the only pity is that Tang Yuehua isn't a Soul Master. However, it doesn't seem to matter. After all, she's the daughter of the Clear Sky Sect's leader. Marrying her would mean becoming the Clear Sky Sect's son-in-law. The son-in-law of the number one sect in the world is something many people would kill for.

"Let me tell you, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
