Chapter 136: Palace Strategy, Lin Sheng Decides to Visit Zhang Lexuan
Several days later, in the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Inside the towering imperial palace, constructed from white marble and gilded copper tiles, the usually solemn and dignified council hall was now filled with an atmosphere of relief from a narrow escape, yet also a stirring and fervent excitement.
The Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire sat on his throne, looking down with excitement at the group who had just arrived, weary from their travels.
"..."
In the center of the hall, Lin Sheng wore clean gray robes, his aura restrained like a deep pool.
Beside him, Sect Master Du Busi of the Body Sect and Principal Yan Shaozhe of the Shrek Academy Inner Courtyard stood side by side...
These two super-powerful beings, who could normally make the entire continent tremble, were now looking at the young man beside them.
Their old faces wore a rare, extremely uncomfortable expression of awkwardness and shame.
"Your Majesty, although this trip to Mingdu was extremely perilous, the outcome... exceeded all of our expectations."
Sect Master Du Busi coughed unnaturally, rubbed his nose, and continued with some embarrassment.
"However, although Yan Shaozhe and I were the nominal leaders, if we are being honest, the success of this mission was entirely thanks to this kid, Lin Sheng."
"We two old guys... cough, really didn't contribute anything at all; we were just watching this kid's solo show the whole time."
Upon hearing this, Principal Yan Shaozhe, though he huffed and puffed, didn't refute Sect Master Du Busi for the first time in history.
Instead, he smiled self-deprecatingly.
"This kid Lin Sheng, right under the noses of those two Old freaks, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao and Death God Douluo Ye Xishui, smashed Crown Prince Xu Tianran's skull with a single slap. This credit belongs ninety-nine percent to Lin Sheng alone!"
The Heavenly Soul Emperor, sitting on his dragon throne, listened to the praise from these two Peak powerhouses, and when he looked at Lin Sheng again...
The awe and fervor in his eyes were almost tangible!!
A Soul Saint, relying solely on his own strength.
Faced two Limit Douluos and retreated unscathed; such strength is simply terrifying.
"The divine might of young friend Lin Sheng is truly a great fortune for our three original empires, and a great fortune for the Heavenly Soul Empire!"
The Heavenly Soul Emperor stood up and bowed slightly to Lin Sheng with sincere gratitude.
Lin Sheng's expression was calm; he stepped slightly to the side to avoid the Emperor's deep bow and said indifferently, "Your Majesty is too kind."
"Although Crown Prince Xu Tianran is dead, the foundation of the Sun Moon Empire remains. We have disrupted their plans, but we must not let our guard down."
Sect Master Du Busi strode up the imperial steps with a commanding gait, a calculating glint in his eyes, and waved his hand.
"Lin Sheng is right; we cannot let our guard down."
"But the current situation in the Sun Moon Empire won't allow them to rest easy. Within Mingdu, rumors about the Holy Spirit Cult regicide and the betrayal of the totem Evil Emperor are already flying everywhere."
He smiled disdainfully.
"Those brothers of Crown Prince Xu Tianran, who were previously suppressed and unable to lift their heads, are now fighting tooth and nail for that vacant crown prince throne and the old emperor's remaining imperial edict."
Speaking of this, a cold smile curled at the corners of Sect Master Du Busi's mouth.
"The public morale is scattered, the imperial power is in infighting, and even the Worship Hall and the Royal spirit tool master legion have split into several factions."
"In the short term, they definitely won't have the capacity to launch an all-out war against us. This is the golden breathing period that the heavens have bestowed upon our three original empires!"
"Next, we just need to fully digest those good things we obtained from Mingde Hall as quickly as possible and maximize our own strength; that will be enough!"
"Sect Master Du Busi is absolutely correct."
Principal Yan Shaozhe also nodded in agreement, his expression becoming serious.
"This trip to Mingdu has made us deeply realize the terror of top-tier spirit tool technology. If it weren't for Lin Sheng's miraculous Pupillary Technique, relying solely on our original Soul Master combat power..."
"It would be difficult to retreat from Mingdu unscathed. Therefore, from now on, Shrek Academy is willing to openly exchange spirit tool technology with the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect."
"Good! Open exchange, moving forward together!"
The Heavenly Soul Emperor was overjoyed and excitedly slapped the dragon table.
Under Lin Sheng's absolute, violent breaking of the stalemate, the top forces of the three original empires, who had previously harbored their own ulterior motives and guarded against each other...
Finally broke their prejudices at this moment!
And truly achieved a comprehensive sharing of spirit tool master technology and strength.
After all the major plans were discussed, the atmosphere in the hall gradually eased.
Everyone began to pack their belongings, preparing to return to their respective Sects.
Ye Guyi, as a newly joined combat force...
Was temporarily arranged by Sect Master Du Busi to be taken by Princess Vina to familiarize herself with the situation of the Body Sect, while Long Aotian, Dai Yueheng, and others also returned to their respective places.
Just as Lin Sheng and Qiu'er were about to take action.
Ma Xiaotao, who was standing behind Principal Yan Shaozhe, suddenly stepped forward in her red boots, blocking Lin Sheng's path with a mischievous and playful expression.
On that beautiful face, which was usually imposing and heroic.
There was now an indescribable expression as she stared at Lin Sheng.
"I say, Lin Sheng, as soon as you woke up, you rushed to Mingdu without stopping. Killing and arson were certainly gratifying..."
"But are you not planning to go to Shrek Academy to visit our Senior Sister from the Inner Courtyard?"
Upon hearing the words'Senior Sister', Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then a smile welled up on his face.
Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes at Lin Sheng with some sympathy and continued mumbling: "Senior Sister doesn't even know yet that you've completely recovered."
"During those days at Shrek, she was on edge all day long, having to handle the heavy official business of the Sea God Pavilion while searching everywhere for medical help for your injuries."
Qiu'er, who was beside them, heard Ma Xiaotao's words, and although a subtle hint of small pride flashed in her golden eyes.
She was a person who understood the greater good.
Thinking of how Zhang Lexuan had watched over Lin Sheng desperately when he was severely injured and dying, she gently patted Lin Sheng's arm and said softly.
"Lin Sheng, why don't we go together? It's been a while since I've seen Senior Sister Le Xuan."
Lin Sheng turned his head, looked at Qiu'er's playful big eyes, and couldn't help but nod with a smile.
He was never a person who dragged his feet, and besides, he had already made plans in his heart.
"Go, why wouldn't I go?"
Lin Sheng looked up, and in those eyes that had returned to normal, there was a trace of tenderness and firmness that had never been there before.
He turned around and bowed slightly to Sect Master Du Busi, who was stroking his beard and watching from the imperial steps.
"Teacher, I would like to go to Shrek City first."
Sect Master Du Busi laughed loudly and waved his hand teasingly: "Go, go! You brat, I knew long ago that you were destined for an overflowing peach blossom luck!"
"If anything happens, just let me know, got it?"
Lin Sheng nodded with a smile.
Immediately, Lin Sheng took Qiu'er and, following Principal Yan Shaozhe, Ma Xiaotao, and the others, left the Heavenly Soul Empire directly and headed in the direction of Shrek City.
