Chapter 224 Arriving at Poseidon Island

Tiandou City, as the most luxurious and magnificent palace in the imperial palace, who else could live in it except the most powerful person in the entire empire?

Boom, boom, boom.

In the study, Emperor Xueye, who was wearing a golden-red robe, raised his head slightly and looked at the door in front of him.

"Enter."

As the sound rang out, a guard pushed open the door and came to the table, knelt down on one knee, and spoke respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Prince Xue Xing and His Highness Xue Beng want to see you."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Emperor Xueye raised his brows slightly, then seemed to think of something, his body shook suddenly, and a light of surprise burst out in his eyes.

"Let them in."

"yes."

The guard followed the order and walked out of the room. After a while, an old man and a young man in rich clothes walked into the house under the guidance of the guard and bowed to him.

"I have met His Majesty."

"No gift."

Emperor Xueye waved his hand and cleared away the guards before speaking.

"Xue Xing, this time I asked for an interview, did you get any clues about the things you were investigating before?"

Prince Snow Star glanced at Xue Beng beside him, raised his hands and said.

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what happened. Speaking of which, it was all thanks to Xue Beng. If it hadn't been for him, we wouldn't have discovered it so quickly."

Hearing this, Emperor Xueye raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on his fourth son.

"Oh? I didn't expect Xue Beng to be so concerned about this matter?"

It was indeed because of the avalanche. As early as when Shrek Academy first came to Tiandou City and wanted to join the Tiandou Royal Academy, he had been in contact with it. To be precise, he had received a severe beating. Afterwards, he The revenge of Prince Xue Xing and Dugu Bo drove Shrek away later.

After driving away, he found out that Shrek Academy had joined Lanba Academy. In order to fit his image of a playboy who must report his flaws, he once sent spies into it. By chance, he discovered that the Clear Sky Hammer holder had been training during the training process. Used various sophisticated hidden weapons.

It's just that at that time, he was only thinking about stumbling on the other party, so he didn't think about recruiting. It wasn't until the mission assigned by Emperor Xue Ye appeared that he accidentally recalled it, followed the clues, and he found out as expected. something.

Thinking of this, Prince Xue Xing couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart. The wrong thing he did at the beginning was now a blessing in disguise. If Xue Beng had not taken revenge on the other party, he would not have discovered the clues so quickly.

Shrek may even join Tiandou Royal Academy. You must know that Tiandou Academy was a force that favored the prince at that time. If they were taken under the prince's command, how could they stand out?

However, he would definitely not dare to tell Xue Ye about this kind of thing. What he needs to do now is to take this opportunity to change Xue Beng's original image of a playboy step by step in front of Emperor Xue Ye, and this process cannot be noticed by Xue Qinghe. .

Although no evidence was found, until now, he still believed that the other party was responsible for the previous incidents between the two princes. Moreover, Xue Beng had stayed safe by pretending to be a playboy over the years, which undoubtedly confirmed his suspicion.

If Xue Beng showed his ability to threaten the other party's crown prince position, he might die at home one day.

As the last card in his hand, he had to be extremely careful.

Because of what Xue Xing had told him, Xue Beng changed his previous laziness and his voice was somewhat calm.

"You should go all out to do what your father has told you."

Looking at Xue Beng's obviously different eyes, Xue Ye felt a chill in his heart, as if he was getting to know his incompetent son again at this moment.

Although he didn't know why the other person suddenly became different, he was still very happy to see such a change in his son. As an emperor, he naturally didn't want his son to be a loser and cause others to talk about it.

A relieved smile appeared on his old face and he nodded.

"Yes, you are interested. So, who is selling this thing?"

Seeing Xue Ye's smile, Xue Beng felt slightly happy. The effect seemed to be much better than he imagined. Although there was still a long way to go before Xue Qinghe's position in the other party's heart could be shaken, at least it had already made him happy. Xue Ye's impression of herself has changed.

Without hesitation, he spoke the answer.

"Back to my father, it's the Haotian Sect."

The appearance of the last three words made Emperor Xue Ye's expression change, and his hand holding the armrest tightened unconsciously.

"Haotian Sect!?"

"Yes, I have investigated clearly and determined that the Haotian Sect is selling this thing."

"How could it be the Haotian Sect? Are they preparing to be born?"

"That's not clear, but I guess that the Haotian Sect secretly relied on Yuexuan's channels to sell hidden weapons. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to open up the market among the nobles of Tiandou City."

Xue Ye nodded and thought about it carefully. If it was the Haotian Sect that made such a magical hidden weapon, it would be excusable. After all, it was the number one sect in the world.

He took a deep look at his fourth son, and saw that he still had some abilities. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he spoke in a majestic tone.

"Since it was discovered by Xue Beng, you will go to Yuexuan on my behalf and invite the hidden weapon makers of the Haotian Sect to come to the palace to discuss cooperation matters. If the performance is good, you will be responsible for the follow-up matters in this area. .”

"Yes! Thank you very much, Father!"

Xue Beng's face lit up. He knew that this was a test. If he could do this well, his image in Xue Ye's heart would undoubtedly be greatly improved.

But isn't this his opportunity? This is an opportunity to connect with the strongest sect in the mainland alone! If he could gain the support of the Haotian Sect, there would be no question as to who would be the crown prince.

Prince Snow Star on the side pursed his lips when he saw this, and hit the railroad while it was hot.

"I hope Your Majesty will keep this matter quiet."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Do you still remember the Clear Sky Hammer spirit owner who appeared in the spirit master competition?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"The owner's name is Tang San. After Xue Beng's investigation, it was found that the other party had used hidden weapons before the Soul Master Competition. I heard that before the Soul Master Competition, Sect Leader Ning also went to Shishi several times before the competition. Lake College has prevented you from contacting the other party because I don’t know if he has seen hidden weapons."

Xuexing did not express his judgment directly, but only provided information. At this time, it would be more effective to let the other party make up his own mind than to say it directly. If something happened afterwards, he could also withdraw and avoid sowing discord. crime.

As for the purpose of doing this, on the one hand, it allows Xue Ye to take the initiative to keep it secret and prevent Xue Qinghe from noticing that Xue Beng has demonstrated abilities and threatens his status.

On the other hand, it can also weaken Xue Qinghe's power.

When he learned that the person selling hidden weapons was the Haotian Sect, he realized that his opportunity had come. Xue Ye's last words hinted that the Tiandou Empire could not do without the support of the Shangsan Sect, and now there would be a new opportunity to In front of you?

Once there is a new choice, Ning Fengzhi's status in Emperor Xue Ye's heart will plummet, which will undoubtedly greatly weaken Xue Qinghe's power.

Recalling the boy who used the Clear Sky Hammer in his mind, Emperor Xueye's face suddenly sank.

When he first saw the Clear Sky Hammer, he thought about contacting the other party, but Ning Fengzhi told him that the Holy Son of Wuhun Palace was pushed to Wuhun Palace by the other party, so he gave up.

As Prince Snow Star said, it’s okay if the other party has never seen a hidden weapon. If he has, you have to prevent yourself from touching the other party.

When he thought about the fact that the other party had some unclear relationship with the Holy Son of Wuhun Palace since then, he felt more and more something was wrong.

Now he is becoming more and more eager to find another backer. The Haotian Sect may be a good choice at the moment, and this matter is indeed as Prince Xuexing said, without knowing Ning Fengzhi’s true attitude Before, it had to be done secretly.

No matter whether the other party really has this intention, you must take precautions before it happens.

"I understand, Xue Beng. This matter must be kept confidential and must not be allowed to be known to outsiders."

"yes!"

On the endless sea, a small boat is cutting through the waves.

There were three people sitting on the boat, a young man with long snow-white hair, a girl with silver hair, and a man who looked about fifty or sixty years old.

The man was looking at the young girl in front of him with a peerless appearance, his eyes filled with gratitude for the rest of his life.

"Thank you both for driving away that sea soul beast just now, otherwise I might have been buried in the belly of a fish."

The young man smiled, waved his hand, and asked warmly.

"It's just a little effort, old man, why are you here alone?"

The young man was Huo Yuhao. When he and Gu Yuena were flying in the air, they saw the small boat being attacked by the sea spirit beast. After helping to drive it away, they were warmly invited by the old man to rest on the boat.

After hearing Huo Yuhao's question, the old man waved his hand.

"I'm going to Poseidon Island this time. I plan to exchange some supplies from the mainland for some special products there to sell. I didn't expect that I was unlucky this time. I encountered a sea spirit beast on the way. Why didn't the two of you go to sea and the boat started? Could it be that we were flying all the way? Came here?"

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena looked at each other, smiled bitterly and said.

"Our ship was also attacked by a more powerful sea spirit beast and was directly destroyed. Fortunately, I can fly. I managed to escape by flying with the person next to me into the air. I was still worried about what would happen in this vast sea. What should I do? I encountered your ship."

Judging from the opponent's aura, he was a soul master of around level 30. Flying all the way here might be too shocking for the opponent. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Huo Yuhao chose an explanation that was easier to believe. .

The man suddenly realized that no wonder he had seen the young man flying down with the girl in his arms. Especially when he first saw the two people's extraordinary appearance, he thought he had met a god.

"So that's it. You two are both talented and beautiful. This look is the only one I've ever seen in my life. It seems like the guy next to you is your lover, right? You didn't abandon each other even in the face of such danger. It's affectionate and righteous! In this case, what happens next? Rest for a while on my ship. Where are you going next? Old man, I’ll see you off first.”

Huo Yuhao's face froze upon hearing this, and he glanced aside subconsciously. Seeing that Gu Yuena was not disgusted, he responded with a smile.

"Thank you, old man. The two of us are also going to Poseidon Island."

This kind of thing gets more troublesome the more you explain it, so I just acquiesce and forget it.

"We have a good relationship, so we're on our way, but from the looks of you two, you don't seem to be sea soul masters, right? Poseidon Island is very exclusive, so you two should be more careful."

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up and he suddenly became interested.

"Huh? It seems that the old man knows a lot about Poseidon Island. Are you from Poseidon Island? Can you tell us about the situation there?"

"That's all. You two are my saviors. There's nothing I can't say. However, all I know is superficial information. Please don't take offense."

The old man cleared his throat, pondered for a moment and asked.

"Do you two believe there is a God in this world?"

"."

The two subconsciously glanced at each other, and after seeing Gu Yuena's similarly strange expression, Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.

"Since you two believe it, it is easy to explain. Poseidon Island is a place where Poseidon is enshrined. Just like land soul masters have the same impression of Wuhun Palace, Poseidon Island is a recognized holy place in the minds of Poseidon Masters. Even because of direct contact with Due to the relationship between the gods, the sea soul masters’ belief in Poseidon Island is much more pious than the land soul masters’ belief in Wuhun Palace. The sea soul masters there have been proud of their belief in Poseidon for generations.”

"Huh? Does everyone there know that there is a god?"

You know, in the mainland, titled Douluo like Poison Douluo may not know that there is a god in this world, but from what the other party said, everyone there seems to know about it.

This is like everyone in Wuhun Palace knowing the Angel God.

"Actually, it's not just the sea soul masters in Poseidon Island who know that, because if you want to stay on Poseidon Island for a long time, you must first pass the test and be approved by Poseidon. Those who fail to pass the test will be expelled from the island, and then they will be expelled from the island. As the soul masters who were expelled from the island spread the word outside, even the sea soul masters who have never been to Poseidon Island know that there is a Poseidon in this world."

"test?"

Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Is this a divine test? Is the divine test so common on Poseidon Island? Does everyone have one?

"Yes, every outsider needs to accept the test sent by Poseidon himself as soon as he lands on the island, and those who have lived on Poseidon Island since birth are no exception. They also need to accept the test sent by Poseidon at the age of eighteen. The trials may be the same for everyone, or they may be completely different.”

"Old man, I used to be from Poseidon Island, but because I failed to pass the test when I became an adult, I lost the qualification to stay on the island. Now I can only rely on my understanding of Poseidon Island's needs to frequently communicate with Poseidon Island on the mainland. Some small business.”

"I see. So the punishment for failure is to be kicked out of the island?"

"No, that is a punishment for sea soul masters. Not only will the difficulty of the Poseidon test be reduced for sea soul masters, but even the punishment is just to be expelled from the island, but it is different for land soul masters like you two. , failure may very well mean losing your life, so I advise you two not to go to the island."

Hearing what the other party said, Huo Yuhao showed a smile.

"Thank you for reminding me, but since the two of us have decided to go, we won't back down. Please ask me to take us with you."

Just kidding, with the strength of the two of them, what kind of test can they fail to pass?

"Well then, I wish you two good luck in passing the test."

Two days later, the two of them could already see a small black spot not far away. Although it was a black spot, according to Huo Yuhao's visual inspection, it was four hundred miles away.

But at this moment, the man sailed the boat to a small nearby island that looked inconspicuous.

To say it is a small island is actually an exaggeration. This island is so small that there is only a small house on it, and there is nothing else.

The man turned back and explained to Huo Yuhao.

"The area in front is where the island-protecting soul beasts of Poseidon Island live. Ships entering it will be attacked. This small island is where Poseidon Island uses to exchange supplies. I can only send you two here."

"It's enough to send it here. Thank you very much, old man."

Huo Yuhao nodded, looked at Gu Yuena aside, and asked softly.

"How is your injury? Can you fly?"

"Not yet."

"."

Although he had expected what the other party would say, Huo Yuhao still felt that something was wrong looking at his calm appearance, so he picked him up by the waist with ease. Gu Yuena also behaved very submissively, and wrapped her arms around his neck consciously.

However, compared to the previous times, Huo Yuhao clearly felt that the hands around his neck seemed to be a little tighter this time, and the distance between their heads was therefore extremely close.

The breeze blew by, and the silver-white hair playfully brushed Huo Yuhao's face. In addition to the orchid-like fragrance, he could even directly feel the other person's breath.

"What's wrong? Since we told the old man that we are a couple, if we act too distant, the secret will be revealed, right?"

The soft lips opened and closed slightly, but the ethereal voice only sounded in Huo Yuhao's ears. The warm breath that accompanied the words hit Huo Yuhao's cheek directly, making his body stiff, but unable to refute.

He had to turn his head to look at the man with an aunt's smile on his face, coughed twice and said.

"Well, old man, let's just say goodbye. I hope we can meet again in the future."

"Two benefactors, see you again by fate."

The ice-white dragon wings unfolded behind them, and the two quickly took off and flew towards the island in the distance.

Along the way, Huo Yuhao also saw the soul beast that the man said was protecting the island.

They were gray-white sharks, generally between ten and twenty meters in length. Compared with the strange sea soul beasts that had been seen offshore before, this kind of soul beast had a very good appearance.

"Great White Shark"

The group of sharks obviously noticed the two people flying in the sky, but judging from the innocent eyes, they didn't seem to have very high IQs.

Without paying too much attention to them, as the two of them got closer and closer to the island, they finally saw the entire island.

The entire island is ring-shaped, and the hollow in the middle is filled with sparkling seawater. In the middle of the seawater, an island with a height of 500 meters stands quietly. On the top of the island, there is an ancient and simple island that seems to be made of white jade. The building looks very sacred.

“The aura of the gods is strongest there.”

Turning her head to look at the white building, Gu Yuena spoke softly.

"That should be the real place of inheritance. We're here, let's go down first."

"Um."
