Chapter 1224 No Trouble, Make Trouble

Amidst the mountain of flowers, where all the flowers are in full bloom and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, an incomparably beautiful woman opened her eyes. She lay quietly for a long time until she heard footsteps, and then she slightly turned her head.

Nalan Yanran brought a basin and towel for washing, and gently helped Yun Yun to get up. The master and disciple, who used to be as close as mother and daughter, spoke very little today.

Just because the man left and took their hearts with him.

……

Now that the issues in Fenyan Valley and Huazong were resolved, Xu Xin leisurely traveled around and enjoyed himself, and returned happily to Shengdan City.

The city of Shengdan has been very busy recently, simply because the Dan Conference is about to begin. However, amidst the bustle, there is also a lurking atmosphere of unrest, stemming from the increasingly chaotic environment and the surging undercurrents.

Ever since many branches of the Soul Palace were breached, this already ruthless behemoth has been hunting down potential enemies even more wantonly, almost turning the entire Zhongzhou upside down.

In order to find clues about the enemy and to make up for the loss of souls, the Soul Palace began to openly kill people and take their souls, especially some alchemists who had grudges against them. Almost all of them were killed and their souls taken, including even the guest elder of Danta.

Although only a few seventh-grade alchemists were lost, such an action was undoubtedly a provocation to Danta. Many people and forces were paying attention to Danta's reaction.

Faced with this situation, Danta naturally took action against the Soul Palace team first, but he did not declare war on the Soul Palace openly.

This situation disappointed many people, but they also felt it was reasonable because Danta has been doing this for many years.

The top leaders of Danta do not have the courage to declare war on the Soul Palace, but they will not sit idly by and watch the Soul Palace arrest alchemists at will, so they will react and try to stop it, but will not start an outright war.

Such a reaction actually has no deterrent effect at all, and Danta himself is aware of it, but they dare not do more, simply because they do not have the strength.

If it were a thousand years ago, when the Nine-Star Douluo of Danta was still at the peak of his powers, Danta would have dared to go to war with not only the Soul Palace but even the Soul Clan.

But now in Danta, there is only one ancestor who is barely a six-star Douluo, and the rest are all low-level Douluo and Half-Saint. They don't have much chance of winning against the Soul Palace, so naturally they can only endure it.

……

In the inner area of ​​Shengdan City, inside the main hall of the Tongtian Black Tower, Xuan Kongzi, one of the three giants, sat on a chair, looking at the information about the Soul Palace in front of him with some worry.

The Soul Palace has been going more and more excessive recently. Although Danta has fought back, it has not made the Soul Palace restrain itself. Instead, it has attracted more intensive actions. Even the intelligence he just received shows that the Soul Palace is preparing to take action against Danta, which makes him very worried.

The Danhui is a grand event for Danta. If something goes wrong at the Danhui, it would not only be a slap in the face of Danta, it would be a loss of face. Danta must respond.

But... Xuan Kongzi was not determined to go to war with the Soul Palace. Not to mention that he was one of the three giants and could not make up his mind, even the great elder of Xiao Danta, the real Dou Sheng and ninth-grade alchemist, did not have the courage to make the decision.

"President Xuan, you seem to be worried about something. Can you tell me about it so that I can share your worries?"

A voice suddenly sounded in the hall. The originally lazy Xuan Kongzi instantly became alert, bent his body and looked up. After seeing that it was Xu Xin, his tense body did not relax at all.

"Your cultivation is improving so fast!"

Xuan Kongzi felt the aura coming from Xu Xin, who was at least at the peak of Dou Zun level, and had a feeling that he was not inferior to him. He remembered that the last time we met, this guy seemed to have just broken through to Dou Zun level.

"I got some opportunities during this trip. Is President Xuan interested?"

Xu Xin's words naturally aroused Xuan Kongzi's interest. "Oh?"

Xuan Kongzi responded, his body still tense, but there was curiosity on his face.

"President Xuan, do you know what this is?"

Xu Xin threw a golden bead to Xuan Kongzi. The latter took it and was puzzled at first, then surprised. He frowned and thought for a long time before shaking his head.

"This pill doesn't look like a magical elixir, but it makes me want to swallow it immediately. It seems to be very beneficial to the soul. Could it be some kind of magical medicine that is beneficial to the soul?"

After a thorough analysis, Xuan Kongzi first ruled out that it was a normal elixir. Elixirs of grade seven and above were quite powerful, and elixirs that could be useful to a Dou Zun might even grow legs and run away on their own.

But the golden bead in his hand seemed to be of great benefit to him, a peak Dou Zun. He could feel the desire at the soul level, and in the end he could only guess that it was a spiritual medicine.

"The Soul Gold Bead is made from the essence of the souls of more than 100,000 powerful warriors. Just one of these beads is enough to allow President Xuan, who is at the peak of the Spiritual Realm, to break through the bottleneck and step into the Heavenly Realm, becoming a Semi-Saint."

Xu Xin's words made the smile on Xuan Kongzi's face freeze. The hand holding the golden soul bead trembled, and his body staggered, almost dropping the treasure to the ground.

"You, you said... one hundred thousand souls? How could you..."

Xuan Kongzi was trembling when he spoke.

"Under each branch of the Soul Palace, there is at least one source that can be used to refine 100,000 soul gold beads."

“Soul, Soul Palace…wait, wait, wait, it’s you!”

Xuan Kongzi didn't react at first, but after he sorted out the whole story, he almost slipped off his chair. The man that the Soul Palace had searched all over Zhongzhou but couldn't find was now standing in front of him, taking out a golden bead made from 100,000 souls.

Xu Xin said calmly, "I did it. Nearly fifty branch halls of the Soul Hall, fifteen branch halls of the Earthly Demons, eight prisons of the Heavenly Lords, nearly a hundred Dou Zun, and tens of thousands of strong men were all destroyed by me."

"You are so brave..."

Xuan Kongzi was stunned after hearing this. After a long while, he let out a long sigh and asked after calming down, "Who else knows about this? You did it cleanly, right? Stay in Shengdan City recently and don't show off... Wait, you are telling me this now. Is there any trouble?"

"No trouble."

Xu Xin shook his head and said, "Before today, everyone who knew about this except me was dead, not even their souls were left."

Xuan Kongzi heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but then he started cursing again with a bit of frustration, "Why didn't you tell me this? Isn't it better to make a fortune in silence? Keep this to yourself, the fewer people who know about it the better. Otherwise, once it's leaked, Soul Palace won't..."

"I just want to leak it. I just want Soul Palace to know that Shengdan City has clues about this... There's no trouble, but I'm going to create trouble..."

Xu Xin's words stunned Xuan Kongzi. His fingers, which were pointing at Xu Xin, trembled and his voice became stammering. It took him a long time to squeeze out three words.

"You are crazy!"
