Just as Golden Crown and Qian Renxue were chatting in the private room.
Noise suddenly came from outside.
"Everyone, immediately surround the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena!"
"Do not let a single person leave!"
Large numbers of heavily armed troops surrounded the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.
The leader was the Tiandou Empire's Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies—Marshal Ge Long!
His Martial Soul was Ya Zi, one of the Nine Offsprings of the Dragon.
His strength was that of an eighty-fourth-ranked attack system Spirit Douluo.
Furthermore, he possessed outstanding talent in military strategy.
Coupled with his absolute loyalty to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Marshal Ge Long was deeply trusted by Emperor Xue Ye.
After the Great Spirit Arena was completely surrounded.
Prince Xue Xing rode up on horseback.
Marshal Ge Long stepped forward and cupped his fists: "Your Highness, I have surrounded the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena so tightly that not even a fly can get in."
"Very good!"
"Enter the Soul Dueling Arena immediately, and rescue the Crown Prince at all costs!"
Prince Xue Xing's voice was low.
At this time, Qian Renxue was merely trying to win over various factions to stabilize her own position.
Therefore, she had not yet made a move against the other princes.
Consequently, she had not yet aroused Prince Xue Xing's suspicion.
Upon hearing that the Crown Prince was encountering a mysterious Titled Douluo expert in the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena,
He rushed over immediately.
On the way, he had intended to contact Dugu Bo to come along as well.
Because many years ago, Dugu Bo had been attacked by Spirit Hall.
It was fortunate that he arrived with his personal guards to rescue him.
From that moment on, he became Dugu Bo's benefactor.
Considering the opponent was a Titled Douluo, ordinary soldiers were no match for them.
Although Dugu Bo was a bit weaker, he was still a Titled Douluo nonetheless.
He figured Dugu Bo could hold off the opponent for a while.
However, one day two years ago,
Dugu Bo and his granddaughter Dugu Yan suddenly disappeared.
He sent people to search, but there was no news whatsoever.
This left Xue Xing puzzled; how could a Titled Douluo suddenly vanish?
Even if something unfortunate happened, how could there be absolutely no trace?
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out where Dugu Bo had gone.
Receiving the order, Marshal Ge Long waved his right hand.
A large number of soldiers began pouring into the Soul Dueling Arena.
Then Prince Xue Xing asked again, "Have the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School arrived?"
As soon as the words fell,
The surrounding space twisted, creating spiderweb-like cracks,
and a gray cluster of light emerged.
This was truly the special ability of Bone Douluo Gu Rong, one of the Two Titled Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Spatial Teleportation.
Immediately after, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong stepped out of the spatial wormhole.
"School Master Ning, you've finally arrived."
Seeing that both Titled Douluos from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were present,
The anxiety in Prince Xue Xing's heart immediately subsided.
With these two taking action, perhaps that unknown Titled Douluo inside the Soul Dueling Arena would have to reconsider.
"Your Highness, what is the situation?"
"Where is the Crown Prince?"
After exchanging greetings, Ning Fengzhi quickly inquired about Xue Qinghe's condition.
As Xue Qinghe's teacher, Ning Fengzhi rushed over immediately upon learning the situation.
"Marshal Ge Long and I just arrived and have only just surrounded this Great Spirit Arena."
"The situation inside is still unclear," Prince Xue Xing said.
"Let's go in quickly."
Ning Fengzhi led Chen Xin and Gu Rong toward the interior of the Soul Dueling Arena.
Marshal Ge Long and Prince Xue Xing quickly followed... Inside the Soul Dueling Arena.
After Jin E came out of the private room,
he set up a table and chair and sat by the entrance.
When those officials saw Jin E emerge, although they were worried about Xue Qinghe's condition,
they considered the opponent's unfathomable strength.
The Clan Head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had even been killed by him.
After some thought,
their own lives were more important.
Thus, not a single one dared to step forward.
Before long,
a large number of Imperial soldiers flooded in.
Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, these officials finally gained some courage.
They stepped forward to inquire about Xue Qinghe's condition,
and clamored to enter.
Jin E naturally couldn't be bothered with these people,
continuing to drink his wine by himself.
Soon, Ning Fengzhi and the others also walked in.
Upon seeing Jin E, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were momentarily stunned.
The two exchanged a glance, then nodded,
as if confirming something.
"Fengzhi, what are you two exchanging glances about?" Gu Rong asked inexplicably.
Chen Xin, with a solemn expression, related what the two had deduced.
"What?"
"You mean, this person is the mysterious Titled Douluo who attacked you last time?!"
Gu Rong exclaimed in shock.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin both nodded.
"If that's the case, even if you and I join forces today, we might not be his match," Ning Fengzhi said.
"We shouldn't jump to conclusions yet. What if he isn't?"
"I'll go confirm it."
After Chen Xin finished speaking, he summoned his Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul,
and walked toward Jin E.
"I'll go with you," Gu Rong stated.
Although these two often bickered, their relationship was actually very close.
The two walked together to where Jin E was.
Chen Xin tentatively asked, "Does this Esteemed Lord still recognize me?"
Jin E took a sip of wine and glanced over: "The young fellow from the Chen Clan, why? Was my guidance insufficient for you in the Star Dou Great Forest last time? Have you come for more pointers?"
Hearing this,
Chen Xin finally confirmed that the masked old man before him
was indeed the one they encountered in the Star Dou Great Forest.
This situation was now quite tricky.
Facing a ninety-ninth-level Limit Douluo,
even if he and Gu Rong joined forces, they might not be able to harm him.
Jin E glanced at the surrounding Imperial soldiers and smiled faintly: "Don't be so nervous. My grandson is just discussing some matters with Xue Qinghe; he will be out soon."
"We did not come here to cause trouble for him."
"Matters?"
"What matters?"
Ning Fengzhi inquired.
"How would I know?"
"When that Xue Qinghe comes out, you can ask him yourselves."
"But for now, you must not disturb us, or don't blame me for being impolite."
After Jin E delivered his stern warning,
he ignored the crowd again and continued drinking by himself.
Seeing that the opponent seemed to have no ill intentions,
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong could only stand by.
When Xue Xing and Ge Long entered, they saw that Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong had not made a move, so they quickly stepped forward to ask, "School Master Ning, why haven't you attacked yet?"
Ning Fengzhi naturally could not admit that they were outmatched; that would be too humiliating.
So he said, "The opponent is extremely powerful. We are afraid that rashly attacking might injure the Crown Prince."
"Then what should we do?" Xue Xing asked anxiously.
"Wait and see."
...Inside the private room.
After a brief period of intimacy,
and exchanging what had happened in their lives over the past two years,
Qian Renxue released Golden Crown and sat to the side.
She asked with a serious expression, "By the way, why didn't you bring that Ye Lingling with you this time?"
"What! How do you know about Lingling's situation?"
Golden Crown was extremely surprised.
He never expected that
Qian Renxue, so far away in the Tiandou Empire, could still know about the matters surrounding him.
It seemed there was a 'mole' in the Hall of Worship!
