—------------------—
Qian Renxue was about to leave the Soul Palace. Just as she turned a corner, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance.
Qian Renxue immediately retreated.
"Ghost Douluo? Why is he here?"
Although Qian Renxue had not returned to the Spirit Hall for a long time, she still recognized Bibi Dong's confidant at first sight.
She also noticed that Huo Yuan, the Soul Palace's most important guardian, was actually accompanying Ghost Douluo, and his attitude was very friendly, even respectful.
Qian Renxue is very familiar with the Soul Palace's style of doing things.
If you don't have a good relationship with the Soul Palace, or are not a member of the Soul Palace, no matter whether you are a Soul Douluo or a Titled Douluo, you will have no status in the Soul Palace.
The Soul Palace knew her identity, but still dared to let her work for them. This shows how bold the Soul Palace is.
"Could it be that Ghost has joined the Soul Palace?"
Qian Renxue had an "unrealistic" idea in her mind. The reason why it was unrealistic was because she knew that Ghost Douluo was Bibi Dong's right-hand man, and Bibi Dong was used to entrusting him with any important matters.
If even ghosts have defected to the Soul Palace, she finds it hard to imagine how many people will still be loyal to Bibi Dong and the Spirit Palace.
Just when she had ruled out this possibility and thought that Ghost Douluo was sent by Bibi Dong, a ghostly laugh was heard.
"Hehehe~"
Qian Renxue: ...
Well, she completely believed that Ghost Douluo had joined the Soul Palace and had even mastered the Soul Palace's unique signature laugh. Moreover, his laugh was so skillful and smooth, as if he was an old man who had joined the Soul Palace for a long time.
Ghost Douluo, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes... no, that sinister guy, has also rebelled?
"Could it be that Ghost Douluo has already joined the Soul Hall? Or perhaps he has already been a Soul Hall member, but joined the Spirit Hall for other reasons?"
Qian Renxue, a master of imagination, thought of many possibilities almost instantly.
"If Ghost Douluo really has been a member of Soul Palace from the beginning, then the Soul Palace's background and level of concealment are too deep. Is Ghost Douluo the only undercover agent in Soul Palace, or are there other undercover agents?"
Qian Renxue quickly thought of someone, Yue Guan, also known as Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo are incredibly close. When they were in the Spirit Hall, they were practically inseparable. Could it be that Chrysanthemum Douluo is also a member of the Spirit Hall?"
"Hmm~ This is too scary."
The more Qian Renxue thought about it, the more frightened she became. The figures of many elders and worshippers from the Elders' Hall and the Worship Hall appeared in Qian Renxue's mind, and then disappeared.
For some reason, she always felt that most of the elders and priests were a little abnormal, and always felt that they might be undercover agents of the Soul Palace.
"Could it be that the Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo beside me are also..."
Qian Renxue thought about how Qian Qiusui came to her without any warning, and how Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo had no reaction. The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"Could it be that Qian Qiusui Tianzun discovered my true identity not only because of the similarity of my martial souls, but also because of a traitor's betrayal?"
The more Qian Renxue thought about it, the more she felt that the Soul Palace was unfathomable. She was shrouded in a huge conspiracy and fog, and everyone around her looked like a traitor.
Although Qian Renxue helps the Soul Palace, she has not yet completely devoted herself to it.
As the young master of the Spirit Hall, she will inherit the Spirit Hall in the future. In her mind, her interactions with the Spirit Hall are actually more like cooperation rather than simple service.
But now it seems that before she can inherit the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall will become a branch of the Soul Hall.
Qian Renxue was in a trance and took a detour to leave the Soul Palace.
…
Not long after Xiao Mu returned to the Heavenly Palace, Huo Yuan followed his instructions and notified several Heavenly Lords one by one.
The buildings at the foot of the mountain have not been completed yet, and Zhan Kaishan is still in the Soul Palace fortress.
"Palace Master."
The Celestial Lords said in unison.
Even Guimei, the new guy, blended in with the crowd very tactfully and did not behave like a rookie.
"You should be familiar with this Ghost Douluo by now. He will be one of the Soul Palace's Celestial Lords from now on, and is temporarily listed as one of the Four Celestial Lords."
"Palace Master, we've all met and spoken. You said he had a connection with our Soul Palace, and it's true. He actually came to us on his own initiative."
Zhan Kaishan said with a smile.
The ghost was shocked.
It turns out that it wasn't just the Haotian Sect that was targeting him, the Soul Palace had also been targeting him for a long time.
If he hadn't come to the Soul Palace on his own, he might not have been able to escape the path of joining the Soul Palace.
I didn't know whether I should thank the Palace Master for his appreciation of me. After taking one more look at him in the crowd, I was sure that he was from the Soul Palace.
Thinking of this, Ghost Douluo felt a little better.
After all, even if he hadn't been unlucky enough to break in, he couldn't escape joining the Soul Palace.
Xiao Mu saw all the changes in the ghost, and he continued:
"Besides getting to know the new Tianzun, there's another good thing."
Xiao Mu flipped his hand and took out several soul bones from the soul guide.
The ghost's eyes were about to pop out.
Each of the soul bones that Xiao Mu took out was superior to the soul bones of the Soul-Devouring Beast given to him, and was much stronger, emitting an incomparably powerful aura.
Even Qian Qiusui, Zhan Kaishan and others couldn't help swallowing.
Among these soul bones, they each felt the soul bone that suited them.
"You, the Celestial Lords, have been members of the Soul Palace for quite some time now. You have all diligently contributed to its development, and it's time to reward you."
So far, the Soul Palace has not yet introduced a salary system, and Qian Qiusui and the others were summoned by Xiao Mu.
So, they basically all work for Xiao Mubai.
"Thank you, Palace Master."
Several people thanked him one after another.
After being summoned by Xiao Mu, they all regarded Xiao Mu as their master. Not to mention wages, they would not hesitate even if he asked them to die.
Huo Yuan looked at Qian Qiusui and the others with envy.
She knew that this kind of reward was for Tianzun, and as a guardian, it would never be her turn.
Even so, she had no complaints.
She just wanted to practice hard and make contributions to the Soul Palace. Sooner or later, this day would come.
"Qian Qiusui, Zhan Kaishan, Yang Ziqi."
"I'm here."
"You will each receive one of these three soul bones. Take them."
Xiao Mu waved his hand, and the soul bone flew into the hands of the three people.
"Thank you, Palace Master."
The three of them thanked him again.
The ghost smacked his lips, a little disappointed.
Although he knew from the beginning that it would not be his turn this time, with such a high-quality soul bone in front of him, he could only look at it and it was impossible not to be envious.
Among the three of them, Qian Qiusui has three soul bones, Zhan Kaishan has two, and Yang Ziqi has only one.
This is what they had when they were alive. After being summoned, their soul bones actually came out with them.
"This...is this a hundred thousand year soul bone?"
Qian Qiusui held the soul bone in his hand, feeling the amazing energy it contained, and he said in surprise.
"That's right." Xiao Mu said, "It's the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."
These soul bones all come from the Dragon Tomb. Even in the Dragon Tomb, even if you dig three feet into the ground, soul bones that are more than 100,000 years old are very rare.
