Chapter 90 Are You from the Martial Soul Hall?_1

Tang Chen's gaze was fixed intently on Xu Sheng's cheek, "Xu Sheng, before I give this to you, I want to know, you should be a member of the Martial Soul Hall, right?"

Faced with Tang Chen's inquiry, Xu Sheng did not choose to hide, because it was completely meaningless; by asking this question, he had already confirmed his own identity.

"That's right, I am indeed a member of the Martial Soul Hall, and I am also the direct disciple of Pope Bibi Dong!"

When Tang Chen personally heard Xu Sheng admit this, he couldn't help but reveal his indignation toward the Martial Soul Hall...

Then, that indignation gradually dissipated, and he murmured, "As expected... you are a member of the Martial Soul Hall."

Seeing his deep demeanor, Xu Sheng said without words, "What now? Do you despise me just because I'm from the Martial Soul Hall?"

If Tang Chen cared about these things, he would have taken action the moment he sensed that Xu Sheng was a member of the Martial Soul Hall.

Would he have then spent nearly three years together with him as both teacher and friend...

Having been exposed, Tang Chen gave Xu Sheng an annoyed look, "If I despised you, I would have hammered you flat a long time ago."

Xu Sheng pursed his lips and urged, "Alright, alright, if you're going to take something out, do it quickly. I reckon the Continental Senior Soul Master Elite Competition has already started."

He had promised Bibi Dong that he would return to the Martial Soul Hall immediately before it started; if he went back on his word, his beautiful female Pope teacher would probably be very angry.

All the emotions Tang Chen had been harboring crumbled in an instant, and he coldly took a token out of his storage soul tool, which was engraved with a very lifelike hammer—the Hao Tian Hammer!

Xu Sheng's pupils shrank sharply, "Is this... the Haotian Order of the Hao Tian Clan?"

Tang Chen soberly nodded his head, "That's right, this is the Haotian Order of our Hao Tian Clan, and whoever holds this token in the Hao Tian Clan, it is as if they have met me!"

This token had the power to remove the current Sect Master, capable of managing all the affairs of the Hao Tian Clan!

For example, the Haotian Order held by Tang Hao's brother, Tang Xiao, was of an even higher grade!

Xu Sheng looked at the token and narrowed his eyes, "You intend to give me the Haotian Order? Are you really that trusting?"

If he got the Haotian Order and then took control of the Hao Tian Clan to join the Martial Soul Hall, it would likely change the entire continental layout!

They say the upper three families are closely related, and if the Hao Tian Clan joined the Martial Soul Hall, the other two sects and even the lower three families would suffer.

By that time, it's possible that before the Continental Senior Soul Master Elite Competition ends, all the sects would be flattened by the Martial Soul Hall!

Tang Chen replied, noncommittally, "I do indeed plan to give it to you, precisely because I trust that you're not that kind of person."

Xu Sheng smiled, pleased by Tang Chen's trust in him, but...

He cast a faint glance at Tang Chen and said, "Then you should also know, even if I don't give the Haotian Order to the Martial Soul Hall, I will definitely not help the Hao Tian Clan! Even if I take action, I will not show mercy."

This was his most basic bottom line; out of consideration for Tang Chen's face, he could decide not to give the Haotian Order to the Martial Soul Hall.

But!

If the Martial Soul Hall issued an order to annihilate the Hao Tian Clan, he would not show any mercy.

Seeing Xu Sheng's demeanor, Tang Chen sighed silently, ultimately not handing over the Haotian Order...

Giving it away would be like destroying the Hao Tian Clan with his own hands...

Tang Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, his expression turning darker as if he had aged several years, "I see, then the promise I made to you will probably be broken."

Xu Sheng slowly turned his back, his tone revealing no emotion, "There's no need for that, I've already obtained what I wanted here..."

Leaving aside Soul Power, just in terms of combat skills alone, Xu Sheng had made significant improvements, especially in the art of deceiving others.

He was even certain that he alone could sweep through any sect of the upper three families!

This was not arrogance, but a clear understanding of his own strength!

...

At this moment, Pope Hall!

Sitting on the Pope's Chair, Bi Bidong, who often radiated elegance, now had an ice-cold expression on her face.

After gripping the Purple Crystal Scepter in her hand, she slowly stood up, a sudden and intense murderous intent enveloping the entire hall...

This terrifying, tangible murderous intent caused Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to lower their heads, not daring to look directly into her beautiful yet fierce eyes.

With infinite chilliness, Bi Bidong said coldly, "It's been three years already, and he still hasn't returned. Could it be that he's forgotten his promise to me?"

In a few more days, the Continent's Senior Elite Soul Master Competition would commence, yet there was still no word from Xu Sheng.

During these three years, he had never sent a single message to Hulena and the others, or to the Martial Soul Hall.

This caused Bi Bidong, who had always trusted Xu Sheng, to also feel some annoyance. Although she regarded Xu Sheng as her most trusted person, once he betrayed her, there would be no mercy.

Ghost Douluo, touching the cold sweat on his forehead, hastily comforted her, "Your Holiness, please calm your anger. Perhaps Xu Sheng was delayed by some matter!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo carefully echoed, "Your Majesty, Lao Gui makes a good point, although Xu Sheng, as a Title Douluo, is very powerful. He is after all a support class Soul Master."

These words were just said for the sake of it. In truth, after that battle, it was clear that Xu Sheng's strength was not inferior to theirs.

In their hearts, they also mostly believed that Xu Sheng had betrayed the Martial Soul Hall.

But seeing Bi Bidong's mood at the moment, how could they dare to provoke her?

Just as the atmosphere reached a chilling point, a voice filled with charm came from outside the Pope Hall...

"Teacher, we have arrived."

Standing outside the Pope Hall were Hulena and her two companions. Three years later, her figure had become even more voluptuous, now able to release strong charm at the flick of her fingers, according to her will...

Upon seeing Hulena and the other two, Bi Bidong's icy gaze softened considerably...

Forcing down her anger, she spoke in a muted tone, "Come over."

Upon hearing this, Hulena slowly approached and bowed slightly as she neared the Pope Hall...

After standing up, Hulena was the first to speak, "Teacher, my brother and I have already been able to exhibit strength at the Soul Emperor level with our Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

Evil Moon also nodded, supporting Hulena's statement...

And the most awkward of all was Flame. Every time he came to the Pope Hall, he would wonder whether he should even speak...

In the end, he simply adopted Xu Sheng's demeanor, keeping a stern face, then nodding or shaking his head expressionlessly. If asked, he would just answer truthfully and be done with it...

Bi Bidong's eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction, "Good! With the upcoming Continental Senior Elite Soul Master Competition, you should already have victory in your grasp."

Moreover, since they were the seed team from Martial Soul Hall, they could bypass unnecessary battles and directly enter the semifinals...

All of their soul skills and trump cards remained unrevealed...

Losing would be difficult!
