Hu Liena's alluring eyes were now filled with intense killing intent. Ever since she could remember, no one had ever dared to say a bad word about their Spirit City Spirit Hall. Not even the royal families of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire dared to insult them to their faces.
But now, a mere brat has dared to openly insult their Martial Soul City! How can she tolerate this?
“I don’t know what they did, and I don’t want to know now.” Hu Liena took a deep breath, trying to suppress the murderous intent surging in her heart, and said, “I only know that you have insulted our Spirit Hall. If you don’t pay the price today, where will our Spirit Hall put its face?”
Originally, Hu Liena heard the commotion while shopping and wanted to come and find out what was going on. If it wasn't a big problem, she would let the patrol team handle it.
Little did she know that her appearance would only escalate the conflict.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinchen revealed a mocking smile, "So your Spirit Hall does know how to save face after all."
"You're courting death!" Hu Liena was completely enraged, and her body transformed into a phantom as she rushed straight towards Bai Qinchen.
Seeing that Hu Liena had already taken action, the soldiers naturally wouldn't sit idly by. They swarmed forward and surrounded Bai Qinchen and his companions.
"Hmph!" Bai Qinchen snorted coldly, and six soul rings rose from his feet, dazzling and brilliant.
"Six...six...six rings...a six-ring Soul Emperor?" Everyone present was stunned by the six dazzling Soul Rings!
"How could this be?"
"Holy crap! A six-ring Soul Emperor at such a young age? Are you kidding me?"
"Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!"
"A monster, a monster!"
When Hu Liena saw the six spirit rings on Bai Qinchen's body, her expression changed, and she immediately withdrew her attack, staring blankly as she said, "How is this possible? You're so young and you're already a six-ring Spirit Emperor?"
However, Hu Liena's expression quickly returned to normal, and she said coldly, "So what if you are a six-ring Soul Emperor? Since you have come to Spirit City, you should abide by the rules of Spirit City. You dare to insult the Spirit Hall. No matter if you are a Soul Emperor or a Title Douluo, you will still have to pay the price."
"Go get him!" Hu Liena shouted sharply.
Upon hearing Hu Liena's order, the soldiers attacked Bai Qinchen and his companions once again.
"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish." Bai Qinchen smiled coldly, his figure suddenly leaping out, grabbing at the throat of the nearest soldier.
Feeling the chill on his neck, the soldier was terrified and cried out in panic, "Holy Maiden, save me!"
"Stop!" Hu Liena's expression changed, and she hurriedly shouted.
However, how could Bai Qinchen stop just because of her rebuke? With a forceful twist of his wrist, a cracking sound rang out, and accompanied by the soldier's miserable scream, the man's throat bone instantly broke.
Bai Qinchen flicked his hand, and the corpse fell heavily to Hu Liena's feet.
"You dare to harm the people of Wuhun City? You're asking for trouble!" Hu Liena glared at Bai Qinchen, her voice icy cold.
After saying that, Hu Liena took out a talisman and poured her soul power into it, causing the talisman to burn away quickly.
As a saintess, she naturally has some trump cards to protect her life.
This talisman was given to her by Bibi Dong; it can allow the nearest Spirit Hall elder to arrive quickly and save her life.
Originally, Hu Liena had no need for this item within Spirit City, but since Bai Qinchen had so insulted the Spirit Hall and killed their patrolling soldiers, she had to teach him a lesson.
Let him know that a young six-ring Soul Emperor, until he grows up, is ultimately just an ant in front of a Title Douluo.
"So you call for backup when you can't win?" Bai Qinchen said disdainfully, showing no fear of Hu Liena's so-called trump card for survival.
Hu Liena could only summon a Title Douluo at most; he wasn't afraid of her at all!
"Whoosh~" Just as the talisman in Hu Liena's hand burned out, a streak of light suddenly appeared in front of Hu Liena.
"Holy Maiden!" the newcomer called out to Hu Liena in a calm voice.
Although Hu Liena is a saintess, this address was to give face to Bibi Dong, but given Hu Liena's strength, it's impossible for her to be overly respectful.
"Elder Lingyuan!" Hu Liena greeted the newcomer with a respectful fist salute.
"Elder Lingyuan! It's actually Elder Lingyuan!"
"That kid's going to get what's coming to him now."
"Heh, so what if he's a Soul Emperor? He's still trash in front of a Title Douluo!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, the surrounding soldiers all lowered their heads and whispered among themselves, not daring to look directly at Ling Yuan Douluo.
"Holy Maiden, what exactly happened that caused you to burn the talisman?" Spirit Douluo nodded gently and asked calmly.
"That brat just insulted our Spirit Hall and killed one of our patrol soldiers." Hu Liena pointed at Bai Qinchen and said in a deep voice, "Elder Ling Yuan, arrest him immediately and punish him severely!"
"Oh? Someone actually dares to insult our Spirit Hall?" Spirit Douluo raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. "It's been a long time since anyone dared to offend our Spirit Hall!"
As she spoke, Ling Yuan turned around and looked at Bai Qinchen, whom Hu Liena was pointing at.
Bai Qinchen waved to her, squinted his eyes, and smiled, "Spirit Iris Douluo!"
When Lingyuan Douluo saw Bai Qinchen, he was stunned and a strange expression appeared on his face.
Chapter 263: What Was Summoned Was a Death warrant
"Elder Lingyuan, this is the boy who insulted our Spirit Hall! We beg you, Elder Lingyuan, to capture him and punish him severely!" Hu Liena said angrily, oblivious to the strange expression on Lingyuan Douluo's face.
"Young Master Bai!" Ling Yuan ignored Hu Liena's words and instead bowed respectfully to Bai Qinchen with clasped hands, her attitude extremely respectful.
Would she dare to be disrespectful?
Bibi Dong once told her that she had to protect Bai Qinchen no matter what, and that she had to listen to him in everything.
Moreover, on the way from the Heaven Dou Empire to Wuhun City, she also saw the strength of the people around Bai Qinchen.
Each one was more powerful than the last. Even though she was already a Title Douluo, she still felt that she would have a hard time withstanding a single move from those women.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone gasped in shock and stared at Bai Qinchen in disbelief.
How could a powerful Title Douluo show such respect to a mere youth?
Even Hu Liena was stunned and asked in confusion, "Elder Lingyuan, do you know him?"
Even she, the Holy Maiden, couldn't command such respect from Elder Lingyuan. Just who was this young man before her, that he could command such respect from a dignified Title Douluo?
"Hmm!" Ling Yuan nodded gently, then looked at Bai Qinchen and asked, "Young Master Bai, what exactly happened?"
"Those guys tried to bully my friend and lay a hand on my woman, so I taught them a lesson," Bai Qinchen said slowly, pointing to the group of dark-skinned men who had started the conversation.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan's gaze fell on the dark-skinned man and several other youths. The moment her eyes fell on them, they trembled as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
The sharp gaze of a titled Douluo was not something a few small fry like them could withstand.
“That patrolling soldier is that man’s cousin. I beat him up, and they’re trying to retaliate,” Bai Qinchen continued.
"Elder Lingyuan!" Upon hearing Bai Qinchen's words, the leading soldier knelt on the ground with a thud, loudly begging for mercy. His forehead pounded against the ground with loud thuds, and he cried out with a mournful face, "Your subordinate was wrong! Your subordinate really dares not do it again!"
The others also knelt down, their faces filled with fear as they begged.
"Elder Lingyuan! They are just following the rules of our Martial Soul City. This has nothing to do with them." Hu Liena saw the killing intent in Lingyuan's eyes and quickly tried to persuade her, "I hope you can be lenient."
"Holy Maiden, this matter has nothing to do with you." Hu Liena was, after all, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and she didn't want to involve Hu Liena in this matter, so she waved her hand at her.
"Whoosh~" As Ling Yuan's flower language fell, she waved her arm, and a gentle breeze blew by. In an instant, the surrounding air suddenly stopped, and then the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, as well as the group of dark-skinned people from the beginning, all turned into a wisp of dust and disappeared.
"Elder Lingyuan, you..." Upon seeing this scene, Hu Liena's pupils dilated suddenly, and her heart pounded violently.
She never imagined that the talisman she burned would actually be a death warrant for her own people.
"Don't worry, Holy Maiden, I will personally report this matter to His Holiness the Pope!" Ling Yuan glanced back at Hu Liena and said calmly.
What could Hu Liena say after hearing Ling Yuan's words? She could only glare at Bai Qinchen in secret.
Who is this guy? I've never heard of him before.
"Young Master Bai, these people have been dealt with. Is there anything else you need to instruct us on?" Ling Yuan asked Bai Qinchen respectfully.
"Thank you for your help, Elder Lingyuan. That's all. Thank you for today." Bai Qinchen cupped his hands in thanks.
Ling Yuan shook her head, then looked at Hu Liena and said, "Holy Maiden, the competition is about to begin, you should go back and cultivate!"
Ling Yuan was worried that Hu Liena might get into another argument with Bai Qinchen if she stayed here.
Hu Liena glared at Bai Qinchen with some resentment, then turned and left.
Bai Qinchen smiled slightly as he watched Hu Liena's unconvinced back, too lazy to pay her any attention.
“Young Master Bai, this is my token. With this token, no one in Wuhun City will dare to cause you any trouble!” Ling Yuan took out a silver-gray token and handed it to Bai Qinchen.
"Oh?" Bai Qinchen took the token and asked curiously, "Elder Lingyuan, if I were to harass a respectable woman, would she comply?"
Ling Yuan's lips twitched. She hadn't expected Bai Qinchen to ask such a shameless question. She took a deep breath and said, "Young Master Bai, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
After saying that, as if afraid that Bai Qinchen would ask any more questions, Lingyuan tiptoed away and ran away quickly.
"Young Master Bai, thank you very much for what you just said." After everyone had left, Meng Yiran bowed slightly to Bai Qinchen and expressed her gratitude.
She naturally recognized Bai Qinchen. After all, back in the qualifying rounds, Bai Qinchen stood alone on the stage, challenging everyone, but no one dared to accept the challenge.
This scene left a very deep impression on Meng Yiran, the young girl.
Bai Qinchen smiled and said, "It was nothing, not worth mentioning."
Meng Yiran's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, then she raised her head and said seriously, "I owe you a favor. If there's anything you need me to do in the future, just let me know. Although I may not be able to help much, I will definitely do my best!"
If Bai Qinchen and his group hadn't suddenly appeared today, she really wouldn't know how to handle the situation.
It's likely that only if her grandparents arrived in time could the situation have been prevented from worsening.
"Hehe, Miss Meng, you're too kind." Bai Qinchen smiled and said, "We are all from the Heavenly Dou Empire, so it's only right that we help each other."
At this point, Bai Qinchen paused for a moment, then looked at Meng Yiran with a smile and asked, "Miss Meng, would you have time to stroll around with me?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran's pretty face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "The competition is about to begin, and I still need to cultivate..."
“It’s alright, we can cultivate together,” Bai Qinchen said. “And I can also guide your cultivation.”
Meng Yiran hesitated for a moment, then finally blushed, bit her thin lips lightly, and nodded gently.
"Then, Qinchen, we'll head back now." Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, then looked at Bai Qinchen and said.
“Be careful, everyone,” Bai Qinchen warned.
After Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu left, Bai Qinchen looked at Meng Yiran and said, "Let's go, let's go cultivate."
"Mm." Meng Yiran nodded slightly, then, with a touch of shyness, followed Bai Qinchen into the forest outside Wuhun City.
Throughout the journey, Meng Yiran kept her head down, her face slightly flushed, and didn't say a word, only glancing at Bai Qinchen from time to time with her small eyes.
Why did he invite me shopping? Why did he come to training with me? Does he like me?
Which young girl doesn't dream of love? Meng Yiran was no exception, especially when facing a handsome and powerful figure like Bai Qinchen.
Chapter 264 We're still young
"Clang clang clang!" In the grove, Meng Yiran kept throwing punches at Bai Qinchen, each of her attacks bringing with it a series of ear-piercing sonic booms.
"Too slow and lacking in power, utterly vulnerable." Bai Qinchen easily dodged the attack, then frowned and said, "Don't hold back, use all your strength to attack me!"
Meng Yiran hesitated. Although her strength was indeed lower than Bai Qinchen's, she did not want to use her full strength against Bai Qinchen, because what if she hurt him?
In the past two days, with Bai Qinchen's sparring partner, she has clearly felt her strength steadily increasing, and she enjoys the time she spends training with Bai Qinchen.
Seeing Meng Yiran's hesitation, Bai Qinchen sighed. He had expected this outcome. He reached out and patted Meng Yiran's shoulder, chuckling, "Alright, since that's the case, I won't force you."
"you……"
"It's because you like me that you can't bring yourself to use your full strength against me!" Bai Qinchen interrupted Meng Yiran, saying deliberately.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran's pretty face immediately turned as red as a monkey's bottom, her entire face instantly flushed.
"Who, who said I like you?" Meng Yiran stamped her foot and said in a panic, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Bai Qinchen shrugged, giving him an expression that said, "I knew you wouldn't admit it."
"You, you're talking nonsense!" Meng Yiran stomped her feet and said angrily.
"Haha!" Bai Qinchen burst into laughter, grinning from ear to ear.
"You're not allowed to laugh!" Meng Yiran said fiercely, puffing out her cheeks.
"Alright, alright! I'll stop laughing!" Bai Qinchen waved his hands repeatedly, and the laughter gradually subsided.
"Hmph!" Meng Yiran snorted softly, the blush on her cheeks still lingering. She pouted, lowered her head, and said nothing more.
Looking at Meng Yiran's charming and adorable appearance, Bai Qinchen couldn't help but smile. This girl is quite innocent!
After raising it for several days, it should be ready to eat today, right?
Thinking of this, a burning light appeared in Bai Qinchen's eyes. He stared intently at Meng Yiran's alluring body, swallowed hard, and then slowly approached Meng Yiran.
"What, what are you going to do!" Sensing Bai Qinchen getting closer and closer, Meng Yiran's breathing quickened, her face turned bright red, and she kept moving back to avoid Bai Qinchen's approach.
