"Who goes there?"
Su Yu and Huo Yuhao entered Profound Nether Sect, intercepted by a Deacon who asked for their identities.
"We've come to see your Sect Leader; we have important matters to discuss."
The Deacon was about to lose his temper, thinking how dare someone casually come seeking our Sect Leader for amusement?
Su Yu revealed a trace of Soul Power aura.
He controlled his Soul Power to be at roughly Soul King level.
The Deacon himself was just a Soul King.
Even so, the Deacon refrained from underestimating them.
Because Su Yu was much younger than him; one nearing forty as a Soul King, the other a teenage Soul King—it was incomparable.
Su Yu's level, even within Profound Nether Sect, was only achievable by the Young Sect Leader and a few Core Disciples.
No matter which power had nurtured him, sending him directly indicated this negotiation was no small matter.
Simultaneously, Su Yu qualified to meet the Sect Leader of Profound Nether Sect.
The Deacon curbed his disdain, guiding Su Yu and Huo Yuhao to the Sect Leader's hall.
"These two claim to have matters to negotiate and wish to meet the Sect Leader."
The Deacon used Soul Power condensed into a thread to relay that Su Yu was a Soul King.
The individual responsible for guarding the Sect Leader's hall listened to the Deacon, scrutinizing Su Yu and Huo Yuhao.
"I think some matters of identity are best discussed in the presence of your Sect Leader." Su Yu said.
"Let them in."
Inside the hall, a commanding voice sounded.
"Enter."
Su Yu led Huo Yuhao stepping into the hall, and the doors closed.
"You have remarkable talent."
Seated at the head of the grand hall was a dignified middle-aged man, setting aside the book in his hands, he looked at Su Yu and spoke.
Aura of Soul Power registered above Level 80, a Soul Douluo.
This was Su Yu's first impression.
"So young, yet capable of reaching Soul Saint level."
Xu Yang's heart trembled.
Such a young Soul Saint, with Soul Power intricately solid, exceeding typical Soul Saints, on par with Soul Douluo.
This was his prior impression.
Even more, Su Yu's Soul Power carried an aura stronger than Xu Yang's own.
That was Su Yu's Soul Core.
With Soul Core condensed, Su Yu's formerly liquid-like Soul Power compressed into solid form, its quality nearing Titled Douluo.
Su Yu and his companion appeared outside the hall, Xu Yang sensed their aura; Su Yu deliberately revealed his foundations, thus allowed entry.
Regarding an ambush, Xu Yang didn't worry.
As Sect Leader of Profound Nether Sect and Xu Sanshi's father, his Martial Soul was the successfully awakened Black Tortoise, reaching Level 88—his defenses rivaling Titled Douluo, with some Soul Skills possessing various prowess; a Soul Saint alone couldn't assassinate him.
"Sect Leader Xu, you flatter me." Su Yu graciously accepted Xu Yang's praise.
Sixteen-year-old Soul Saint, it was deserved.
Xu Yang looked at Huo Yuhao beside Su Yu. Despite Huo Yuhao being far behind Su Yu in Soul Power Realm, he was even younger than Su Yu, yet reached Mid-Tier Soul Sect, comparable to Xu Yang's missing genius son.
Moreover, his Soul Power was equally refined, devoid of any medicinal traces.
Two great talents visiting Profound Nether Sect—what was their intention?
Xu Yang had a foreboding sense, this was vital for the entire Profound Nether Sect.
"Before introducing our origins and purpose, I hope Sect Leader Xu doesn't mind me arranging something."
Su Yu held a fist-sized metal sphere in his hand, Soul Power infused into it, instantly an enclosure unfurled, enveloping the entire hall.
"This is an isolation barrier."
Xu Yang stared at Su Yu, wanting to see his intentions.
Unknown origin, letting them in already shows great regard.
But you go ahead, deploying an unknown isolation barrier inside my hall.
"I am Su Yu from Mingde Hall."
"I am Huo Yuhao from Mingde Hall."
Su Yu and Huo Yuhao respectively announced their affiliations.
Xu Yang's anger fumed, he stood directly from his seat, Soul Power surged; he weighed his next course of action.
Mingde Hall!
Su Yu!
These two names were no light matter to him.
Due to Xu Sanshi's participation in the previous Soul Fighting Competition, Profound Nether Sect had sent individuals to Xingluo City to spectate.
Su Yu's name naturally circulated inside Profound Nether Sect.
Unfortunately, during that competition, Profound Nether Sect personnel did not see Xu Sanshi; inquiry with Shrek eventually, succumbing to Profound Nether Sect's persistent queries, revealed the accident at that time.
Profound Nether Sect subsequently expended considerable effort to find Xu Sanshi, yet there were no results.
This left Sect Leader Xu Yang, also Xu Sanshi's father, quite dissatisfied with Shrek.
However, he was helpless.
Xu Sanshi, Death Messenger.
This was Profound Nether Sect's target for extensive search.
Yet three years passed, not a hint surfaced.
"Su Yu, you do not stay in Sun and Moon Empire, yet dare to venture deep into Douluo Three Kingdoms, arriving at my Douling Empire, even enter my Profound Nether Sect. Do you think my Profound Nether Sect cannot deal with you?" Xu Yang released the imposing aura of Soul Douluo, speaking coldly.
"Sect Leader Xu is jesting; naturally, my arrival at Profound Nether Sect has a purpose. If I'm not mistaken, your Sect's Young Sect Leader, student of Shrek Academy, Xu Sanshi, was likely kidnapped by a self-proclaimed Death Messenger, an Evil Soul Master, prior to the Soul Fighting Competition, correct?" Su Yu remained unafraid of Xu Yang's Soul Power oppression, speaking confidently.
Xu Yang's heart trembled.
"Indeed, Mingde Hall and Evil Soul Masters are indeed in collusion." He gritted his teeth.
