Soul Land: Exposing Tang San

Chapter 207: Su Yun's Plan, Tang Yuehua Leaves the Imperial City

Moon Pavilion, third floor.

Tonight is the graduation ceremony for the students of Moon Pavilion.

All the important figures in Tian Dou City have come here to attend their children's graduation ceremony.

Of course, more importantly for them are two individuals.

The Crown Prince of the Douluo Empire—Xue Qinghe.

The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall—Su Yun.

Originally, Su Yun was supposed to be the representative of the graduating students tonight.

As a transfer student, Su Yun has almost mastered all the etiquette taught at Moon Pavilion in these few months, thanks to his talent.

However, he declined to be the representative this time.

He gave the opportunity to the princess of the imperial family, Xue Ke.

Therefore, after Qian Renxue arrived as member of the royal family, Su Yun found an opportunity to sit with them.

Seeing the two sitting together, other students' parents consciously kept a short distance from them, showing respect.

After Qian Renxue sat down, she whispered, "As per your request, I've brought my guards here tonight."

Generally speaking, guards are not needed in the imperial city.

But recently, there have been some "coincidental" incidents outside the Tian Dou Imperial City.

Therefore, as the prince of the empire, Xue Qinghe "had to" ensure the safety of the nobles inside Moon Pavilion tonight and brought some guards over.

Of course, these personnel are all under Qian Renxue's command.

Qian Renxue asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you've found the trace of the people from Haotian Sect?"

Su Yun's eyes were fixed on the stage where Xue Ke was performing, and he whispered, "Of course, my instincts won't be wrong."

"The top floor is Madam Yuehua's private space, so it's not convenient for me to go up there. But I took the opportunity to leave some things for investigation with some maids."

"In recent days, I've been able to detect fluctuations of other soul powers in Madam Yuehua's room at night."

"Moreover, the direction in which those soul power fluctuations leave seems to lead to the location of the Seven Treasure Glass Sect."

The Seven Treasure Glass Sect...

Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed slightly. "Without any surprises, they should be people from the Haotian Sect."

"According to past rules, Madam Yuehua generally doesn't leave the imperial city."

"However, after the students graduate, Moon Pavilion will be on vacation for a period of time, ranging from one month to three months."

"At this time, Madam Yuehua will leave the imperial city."

"I presume she must have returned to the Haotian Sect."

She asked Su Yun, "What's your plan?"

Su Yun said lightly, "Naturally, we'll capture them on the spot."

"But there's no need to capture them."

"Your goal was originally to find the location of the Haotian Sect."

"Madam Yuehua's cultivation level isn't high. Those people should not only be intelligence personnel of the Haotian Sect but also the key to escorting Madam Yuehua back to the Haotian Sect."

"But I feel their cultivation level isn't high, at most not exceeding the fiftieth level of soul power."

"This level of soul power indicates that the Haotian Sect isn't too far from the imperial city."

"Otherwise, to escort Madam Yuehua back to the sect, at least one Soul Emperor-level person would be needed to protect her."

"After all, she is now the only person from the Haotian Sect who can appear openly outside."

"Therefore, you can completely send someone with a high enough level of cultivation or someone who is not easily discovered to follow her and find the hidden location of the Haotian Sect."

"Then, gather the people from the Spirit Hall to take action against the Haotian Sect."

"Or... plan further."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly.

The cultivation level of these guards was indeed a bit weak.

"After the performance ends, there will be a graduation reception."

"After the reception ends, Moon Pavilion will be closed."

"Without any surprises, tonight or early tomorrow morning, Madam Yuehua will leave."

Su Yun said, "Then just keep an eye on them."

Qian Renxue said, "Okay."

With the conversation between Su Yun and Qian Renxue over, Xue Ke's performance also came to an end.

After a few more performances, tonight's graduation ceremony finally ended successfully.

At this moment, several figures approached from the side.

"Su Yun, Holy Son, it's been a while."

The visitor was none other than Ning Rongrong's father, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi.

Accompanying him were Ning Rongrong and two Title Douluo.

Upon seeing them, Qian Renxue immediately stood up and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Master, Your Highnesses, and Sister Rongrong."

Her current identity is still the Crown Prince of the empire, so naturally, she had to maintain proper decorum.

Ning Fengzhi returned the greeting, "Your Highness doesn't need to be so formal."

Although he was the Imperial Tutor, he was always particular about etiquette and wouldn't readily accept such a grand gesture from the Crown Prince.

Meanwhile, Su Yun, upon seeing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's people, also smiled.

"Master Ning, Your Highnesses, it's been a long time."

Su Yun's smile was tinged with mockery. "It's been a while. I wonder if you've had any contact with the people of the Haotian Sect."

What does not opening the lid mean.

Su Yun's actions now were to illustrate this point.

Ning Rongrong frowned upon hearing Su Yun's words.

However, she was secretly delighted. This guy dared to mention the Haotian Sect in front of her father. Surely her father would reprimand him.

But to Ning Rongrong's surprise, her father didn't seem angry.

Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly and said, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Haotian Sect are both among the top three sects. It's natural to have some connections."

"As for whether there has been any contact with the Haotian Sect, and when such contact occurred, that's not something I can discuss with you, as a Holy Son from the Spirit Hall."

"However, let me remind Holy Son Su that there are some matters that are not left unaddressed, but the time for addressing them has not yet arrived."

"At present, you still carry the national treasure of the Douluo Empire. When you're traveling alone outside, you must be extremely cautious and ensure your safety."

"Don't be played by others and end up losing your life."

Although Ning Fengzhi said these words with a smile, the tone was unmistakably unfriendly to anyone's ears.

Upon hearing this, Su Yun didn't show any signs of displeasure on his face. He nodded with a faint smile. "Thank you for the reminder, Master Ning. By the way, I'll be leaving the Douluo Empire tonight. Hopefully, the next time we meet, it won't be like last time."

Ning Fengzhi chuckled. "I hope so."

Their conversation ended with Su Yun's departure.

And after Su Yun left, Ning Fengzhi withdrew his distant attitude and became gentle, looking at Qian Renxue.

He whispered, "Your Highness, may I ask, what were you and Su Yun discussing just now?"

From the beginning, Ning Fengzhi had noticed Su Yun approaching Xue Qinghe, and the two had been whispering about something all along.

However, he was not clear about what they were discussing.

Qian Renxue naturally noticed Ning Fengzhi's attention long ago. She whispered back, "What else could it be? He naturally wants me, as a member of the imperial family, to abandon our support for the Haotian Sect."

"Everyone knows about the relationship between you, Master, and the Haotian Sect, as well as the relationship with our imperial family. Su Yun's main purpose in coming to our Douluo Empire this time is actually to discuss this matter with us."

"The pursuit of the Haotian Sect by the Spirit Hall hasn't ended."

Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes. "I see!"

The Bone Douluo spoke coldly, "The Spirit Hall really can't change its ways. Now that they've already taken Tang Hao's life, they still want to target the remnants of the Haotian Sect. Truly shameless to the extreme!"

Qian Renxue remained unchanged.

The Sword Douluo said, "It doesn't matter. The hiding place of the Haotian Sect is extremely secretive. Even we can't find their location. Therefore, Your Highness, you can be open when facing Su Yun. Just keep laughing and don't delve too deep into conversation."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly.

However, seeing that Ning Fengzhi didn't inform them about their secret contact with the Haotian Sect, Qian Renxue also understood their intentions.

They were probably afraid that once the imperial family learned of the news, they wouldn't withstand the pressure from the Spirit Hall and would reveal the information.

Unfortunately, they were about to start their operation soon.

...

The graduation banquet ended quickly.

After the banquet, Su Yun returned to his hotel.

After resting for a while, he left a clone in the hotel, then, under the moonlight, evaded the spies of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and arrived at Qian Renxue's residence.

Upon seeing Su Yun, Qian Renxue immediately spoke, "The latest news is that Lady Yuehua will leave under cover of night."

Su Yun nodded. "I'll leave ahead of time."

Thus, under the surveillance of the spies from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Su Yun left the Tian Dou Imperial City.

Shortly after he left, Tang Yuehua's convoy slowly departed.

Leaving the imperial city.

However, not long after they left the city and headed towards the direction of the Haotian Sect, they were "coincidentally" spotted by the soldiers patrolling outside the imperial city.

Tang Yuehua, upon seeing the soldiers clad in armor, showed no signs of nervousness but instead asked, "What are you doing here?"

The leader of the soldiers said, "So it's Lady Yuehua."

"These days, there have been some bandits causing trouble outside the imperial city. To ensure the safety at the end of the year, we have several batches of troops patrolling outside every night."

"Ah, I see..." Tang Yuehua said, "I'm heading home, so please let me through, everyone."

Upon hearing this, the guards looked at the several bodyguards next to Tang Yuehua's carriage and suddenly said, "Lady Yuehua, are these bodyguards of Soul Master rank only Soul Ancestor level?"

"The bandits and rogues outside are at least Soul King level experts. With such escorts, it's dangerous for you."

Tang Yuehua shook her head. "My guards have been through numerous battles. Soul Kings won't pose a threat to me."

"You don't need to worry about me."

Seeing this, the guards didn't stop Tang Yuehua anymore and let her pass.

At the same time, as they watched the departing carriage, they instructed the people hiding in the shadows, "Notify the next group, it's time to move."

As their words fell, rustling sounds began to echo in the dark jungle.

...

One day later.

To the east of the Tian Dou Empire.

Tang Yuehua's convoy moved neither fast nor slow.

The goal was not to attract attention.

Under the sunlight, four bodyguards beside Tang Yuehua, two from the Haotian Sect, and two from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

A scout from the Haotian Sect reminded, "Madam, it's time for us to set off."

Tang Yuehua nodded.

They traveled for a night and rested for a while on the side.

And when Tang Yuehua was about to set off again, a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect suddenly changed his expression and looked behind him, shouting sharply, "Who goes there?!"

His martial soul was a special beast martial soul, capable of detecting the surrounding people with great clarity and precision.

Just now, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation in the surroundings.

Although he didn't know who the other party was, he still pointed out the location where the person was.

And as his words fell, the faces of the remaining three people changed as well, nervously looking in the direction indicated by the former's gaze.

Seeing this, Tang Yuehua's expression also became slightly tense.

For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

And under Tang Yuehua's uneasy feeling, a figure dressed in black robes, concealing their face, emerged from the forest.

A Soul King!

Tang Yuehua suddenly remembered what the guard said last night.

Tang Yuehua asked softly, "Can we defeat them?"

The scout from the Haotian Sect said, "With the assistance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it shouldn't be a problem."

The Haotian Hammer was already the strongest weapon martial soul, coupled with the assistance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they naturally could contend with the other party.

Among the personnel sent by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect this time, besides one person responsible for detecting the surroundings, the other was a professional auxiliary-type soul master.

Although they weren't afraid of the Soul King on the opposite side, they still needed to clarify the other party's origin.

"Who are you?"

The black-robed Soul King said lightly, "This territory has already been occupied by us. If you want to leave, both money and women must stay."

The guard from the Haotian Sect said coldly, "Just based on you?"

The Soul King smiled faintly, "Our people are still behind. With my strength, I can detain the two Soul Ancestors of yours."

The two from the Haotian Sect glanced at each other, then without saying a word, immediately summoned their martial souls and directly attacked the Soul King!

The Soul King's eyes narrowed, immediately summoning his long spear martial soul.

A Soul King at level fifty-one.

Seeing this, the soul masters from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect immediately provided assistance.

In an instant, the three were entangled in battle.

To prevent any potential ambushes in the surroundings, the two from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been guarding Tang Yuehua's side.

Before long, the Soul King found himself overwhelmed by the combined attack of the two from the Haotian Sect.

However, just as they were about to kill him, suddenly, rumbling sounds erupted from another direction.

The next moment, countless figures appeared.

The soul power realms of the incoming were all at the level of Soul Sage or Grand Soul Master.

There were dozens of them.

Moreover, there was even a Soul King among them!

This scene was beyond the ability of the two of them to handle.

So they immediately planned to retreat and take Tang Yuehua with them.

But the next moment, their escape route was blocked.

Facing several control-type soul masters, even if they were strong, they couldn't match them.

So they were directly subdued by the other side.

And when the two Soul Kings, along with the group and the captives from the Haotian Sect, arrived at Tang Yuehua's location, they didn't hesitate. Regardless of the other party's identity as members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they directly captured Tang Yuehua.

And after that, Su Yun's figure appeared timely in front of everyone.
