Chapter 740 Xiao Zhan: Brothers, come quick! My promising son has broken through to Dou Zun!

Hearing that the white-haired middle-aged man in front of him had seen through the disguises of Yao Tianhuo and Yao Chen in his storage ring at a glance, Xiao Yan guessed that the man's strength was at least at the Dou Sheng level.

"Your Holiness is too kind. We did indeed lose our original bodies due to some events, and we did not intend to hide it from you."

Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo, who had been discovered, also stepped forward to greet Hun Tiandi.

Soon, after a brief chat, the Soul Emperor also brought up the matter of Xiao Zhan.

"Xiao Zhan has made outstanding contributions to my Soul Clan and is currently serving as the tenth Venerable in the Human Hall of my Soul Palace. If you want to see him, you can go directly to the Soul-Severing Valley, which is a hundred miles away."

Upon hearing Soul Emperor's words, Xiao Yan froze on the spot.

What the hell?

Wasn't my father kidnapped?
Why did I suddenly become a Venerable of the Soul Palace?

Xiao Yan was extremely puzzled, but judging from the expression on the person in front of him, the other party had no intention of lying to him.

Upon seeing this, Fu Ye promptly spoke up.

"Xiao Yan, do you even know who he is? I can guarantee that if he says your father is alright, then your father will definitely be alright."

Hearing Fu Ye's words, Xiao Yan became even more confused.

After all, he really didn't know who this white-haired middle-aged man in front of him was.

The Soul Emperor smiled but remained silent upon hearing this.

He used to rarely appear in public, but now he finds that going out more often isn't such a bad thing.

"Sir, who are you?"

Xiao Yan knew very well that the person in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Hehe, it's been almost a thousand years since I left the Soul Realm. It's normal that you greenhorns haven't heard of me."

The Soul Emperor spoke slowly, his gaze towards Xiao Yan revealing a hint of teasing interest.

"A thousand years? You're over a thousand years old!!"

Xiao Yan's pupils were filled with astonishment. He knew that the longest-lived person he knew was his master, Yao Chen, who was only a little over a hundred years old.

But now a monster who has lived for over a thousand years has suddenly appeared!

"I think he was a little over 1,100 years old. It's been too long for me to remember exactly, but I should be two years older than that guy Gu Yuan."

One thousand one hundred years old, good heavens! Xiao Yan exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

He had seen many old monsters, but this was the first time he had ever seen one this old.

"Considering the outstanding contributions your father made to my Soul Clan, it's alright to let you know my identity."

"I am Soul Emperor, the patriarch of the Soul Clan, one of the eight ancient clans, and also the true ruler of the Soul Palace."

Upon hearing Soul Emperor's self-introduction, Xiao Yan froze on the spot, while Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo both felt a chill run down their spines.

It should be noted that the reason Yao Chen has fallen to this state is due to the influence of the Soul Worship Hall.

But now, by some twist of fate, they have encountered the true mastermind behind the Soul Palace!

The Soul Emperor seemed to have noticed the shock of the two people and two ghosts in front of him, and then looked at Fu Ye with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Sigh, I knew it would turn out like this."

The Soul Emperor never believed that the Soul Palace he founded would bring him any positive image.

After all, his original intention in establishing the Soul Palace was to collect a large number of pure souls for himself and the Soul Clan, and he had long ago given orders that any means could be used to achieve this goal.

“Brother Hun, there’s no need to be so disappointed. As the saying goes, those who do great things don’t concern themselves with trifles, and those who lose their life goals are the real cowards.” Fu Ye was speaking from the heart.

The Soul Emperor's methods may be somewhat extreme, but the path he took was indeed the path to becoming an emperor.

It should be noted that the Soul Emperor was already a peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng a thousand years ago.

But even now, a thousand years later, his cultivation level remains at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm.

This is like finally getting into the top university in the country, but not receiving an acceptance letter when the admission notices are issued.

This situation continued for more than a decade.

Imagine if your life had been wasted for more than a decade, wouldn't you think of breaking free from these shackles through unconventional methods?

The answer is of course obvious.

Although the Soul Emperor in the original work is evil, he is by no means weak.

"Yes, drinking and chatting with Brother Fu Ye is one of my greatest pleasures. Let's drink until we drop tonight!"

The Soul Emperor didn't pay much attention to Xiao Yan and the others' expressions; after all, an elephant wouldn't bother with the thoughts of an ant.

Furthermore, Xiao Yan is quite to his liking.

If they can really eliminate the extraterrestrial evil race in the future, he might consider training them to become members of their Soul Clan.

Late at night, inside a hotel.

Xiao Yan, Feng Xian, Yao Chen, and Yao Tianhuo sat together.

"Teacher, what do you think we should do next?"

Xiao Yan looked up at his teacher, his eyes filled with a complex emotion.

"What else can you do? Haven't you been worried about your father? Go see him in the Soul Palace tomorrow."

Yao Chen never expected that the Soul Palace, which destroyed his physical body and almost caused his soul to perish, would now be showing signs of becoming their colleagues.

In particular, his disciple Xiao Yan's father has now become the tenth elder of the Soul Hall's Human Hall.
"But teacher, what is your grudge against the Soul Palace?"

Xiao Yan knew very well that everything his teacher had suffered stemmed from the Soul Palace.

He is now very distressed, torn between his teacher who harbors hatred and his father who has become a respected elder of the Soul Hall.

He simply cannot abandon either side.

"Let bygones be bygones. Besides, you've already helped me catch Han Feng, who framed me back then. Most of the people from the Soul Palace were probably instigated by him to attack me."

Yao Chen sighed helplessly; he had never intended to seek justice from the Soul Palace.

After Xiao Yan handed Han Feng over to him, ninety percent of the hatred in his heart had disappeared.

Whether for his own sake or for the sake of his good disciple Xiao Yan, as long as the people from the Soul Palace stop attacking him, he won't bother to go against them.

"teacher"

Xiao Yan knew that his master absolutely loathed the Soul Palace, but now an even greater enemy was before them.
The following day, Xiao Yan went to the Human Hall of the Soul Palace and successfully met his father, whom he had been worried about for several years.

"Hahahaha!! Brother Soul Demon, this is the good son Xiao Yan that I've been telling you about. I didn't expect that he would have already cultivated to the Dou Zun level in just a few years!"

Xiao Zhan proudly pulled his son inside the Human Palace to show off to the Heavenly Venerables.

"Hehehe, I never expected Venerable Xiao to have such a promising son. Two Dou Zun in one family, your Xiao family is probably going to take off from here." (End of this chapter)
