The Hyper Douluo charged with escorting Xu Jiawei and the Sky Soul Empire Emperor were all angered as they exclaimed, "What?? Are you looking down on us?"
"Actually making the emperors of two nations walk on foot, does your Sun-Moon Empire not hold us in regard at all??"
"If that's the case, there's no need to discuss any peace treaty. It seems like you have no sincerity whatsoever!"
However, the Sun-Moon Empire's Hyper Douluo apologized, "I'm very sorry, but these are the rules of our Ming City. No matter who it is, they can only proceed on foot! We ask for our guests' understanding."
If you're so capable, then don't agree to it!
Aren't you just afraid that our Sun-Moon Empire will launch an attack using Ninth-Grade Soul Guided Shells?
One of the Hyper Douluo's face turned exceptionally cold, "You! This is too much!"
With that, an immense Martial Soul suddenly appeared behind him, and nine dazzling Soul Rings slowly rose from beneath his feet...
Seeing this, the Hyper Douluo of the Sun-Moon Empire also grew colder, yet still calmly stated, "We have no intention of fighting with our guests, but I ask you to respect yourselves!"
They haven't reached the place for discussions yet. If a battle were to break out here, with him and the other Hyper Douluo ambushed around, it would still be quite difficult to eliminate these people.
Just as tensions reached a breaking point, Xu Jiawei said indifferently, "Enough. It's just a stretch of road, we aren't that fragile!"
It's obvious that there's no such rule about no carriages allowed. It's purely the Sun-Moon Empire trying to show dominance over them!
Seeing this, the emperor of the Sky Soul Empire also spoke up, "Indeed, let's all stand down. It's just a few steps away..."
If only the Sky Soul Empire and the Xingluo Empire's soul tool technology were stronger, how could it come to this? Knowing full well that the other party was deliberately provoking them, yet not daring to tear off the facade!
And when the two emperors spoke up, although the four surrounding Hyper Douluo all had displeased expressions, they still refrained from taking action...
The Hyper Douluo of the Sun-Moon Empire praised them, "Surely, the rulers of the Xingluo Empire and the Sky Soul Empire are not ordinary. Your temperaments are truly incomparable!"
The words carried a hint of mockery, but left no room for rebuttal...
Xu Jiawei glanced coldly at him and said evenly, "There's no need for such empty talk, please lead the way."
With a casual wave of his hand, the soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire who had surrounded Xu Jiawei and his party instantly got the hint and quickly turned to leave...
After all, the imperial palace is a priority, and it's impossible to allow so many people to go there together...
Only then, the Hyper Douluo from the Sun-Moon Empire smiled and said, "Then please follow me. Just a little further ahead and we'll reach the imperial palace of the Sun-Moon Empire. I'm sure His Majesty the Emperor is also waiting for you."

Shrek Outer Court!
Xu Sanshi said with a wry face, "Why haven't Qian Yu and Wu Tong returned? Do they want us to substitute for classes again?"
Jiang Nannan cast a glance at Xu Sanshi with her beautiful eyes and asked softly, "Sanshi, don't you find teaching these Tang Sect disciples interesting?"
Xu Sanshi complained, "Nannan, it's interesting, yes, but at this rate, Wu Tong will leave us behind in terms of soul power rank, don't you think, Bei Bei?"
Bei Bei didn't deny it this time, but seriously nodded, "Yeah! Wu Tong's cultivation speed is really fast. She's improved so much all of a sudden!"
Tang Ya propped up her chin and said, "I think it must be the soul bones inside her body that are helping her to accelerate her cultivation. Every time I see her cultivate, some part of her body is always shining with light..."
Jiang Nannan's eyes lit up, "That's true, it does seem like that. I've seen it too..."
Xu Sanshi licked his lips, "She's really worthy of being a disciple from the Hao Tian Clan, a hidden Great Sect. She even possesses soul bones that can accelerate cultivation, I'm so jealous."
If only soul bones could be easily removed and used...
```
Ma Xiaotao was serious as she said, "Bei Bei, Nannan, and San Shi, you need to speed up your cultivation as well. Spending too much time at the Soul Sage stage would impact your future."
Bei Bei nodded and replied, "Yes! We understand. But Sister Xiao Tao, you should be close to breaking through to the Titled Douluo level, right?"
Jiang Nannan also curiously said, "Yeah, it's been so long, Sister Xiao Tao, you must also be nearing your breakthrough..."
A few traces of confidence surfaced on Ma Xiaotao's delicate cheeks as she smiled, "My current soul power rank is level 89. The time for me to break through to Titled Douluo should be within this month."
Xu Sanshi's gaze then turned towards Tang Ya, "What about you, Tang Ya?"
He remembered that Tang Ya's soul power rank shouldn't be much different from Ma Xiaotao's...
Tang Ya pursed her lips and said softly, "I'm currently at level 86, I'm no match for Sister Xiao Tao at all."
No matter how she cultivated, the speed of her improvement was painfully slow...
If it hadn't been for her conversion to an evil Soul Master, which had caused a sudden increase in her soul power rank, she would probably have been the one with the lowest rank right now...
It seemed as though Bei Bei had read Tang Ya's thoughts and he said with a light smile, "Let's not talk about that now. The arrangements at the Tang Sect should already be in place, so let's go have a look."
Xu Sanshi was the first to shake his head, "The Tang Sect is too far from Shrek Academy. Going there and coming back would take half a day! I'm too lazy to walk that much!"
Ma Xiaotao agreed, "Indeed, Yuhao is also seriously injured right now, it's not good to trouble him..."
"Moreover, Qian Yu and Wu Tong haven't returned. We can wait a while before we go. There's a Hyper Douluo guarding the place, so it won't be an issue!"
After exchanging glances, everyone dismissed the idea of going to the Tang Sect...
But just at that moment, an inner court student who had just been promoted came running over in haste and said, "Seniors, Elder Xuan has asked all inner court students to assemble outside the Sea God's Pavilion!"
Tang Ya and the others' eyes suddenly narrowed...
Whenever they were called to assemble outside the Sea God's Pavilion, it almost always meant an important announcement was to be made...
Just like the previous Beast Tide and other major events...
Bei Bei spoke gravely, "Let's go, we can talk about Tang Sect later. Let's head over!"
Everyone nodded and rushed towards the Shrek inner court as quickly as possible...
...
Within the Hao Tian Clan...
Tang Wutong, seated cross-legged on the ground, had cold sweat dripping down her forehead again, and her complexion was slightly pale...
This raised Qian Yu and Titan's anxiety...
But fortunately, under Tang Wutong's resolute will, the crimson hundred-thousand-year soul ring quietly integrated into her body...
Titan finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "She made it, that scared me to death! If anything had happened to Wu Tong, Big Brother and Tang San would have thrashed me for sure."
Tang Wutong, still seated cross-legged, slowly opened her enchanting beautiful eyes...
Now, she had truly reached the Soul Douluo level!
The configuration of her Soul Rings had also reached a terrifying array: two purples, two blacks, and four reds!!!
