Chapter 181 Martial Soul City
Chapter 182 Martial Soul City
Li Luochen and Qian Renxue traveled by carriage for several days to reach Wuhun City.
This was Li Luochen's first time visiting Wuhun City. Compared to massive cities like Tiandou City and Soto City, Wuhun City was much smaller, not even a tenth the size of Tiandou City. However, it still left a deep impression on Li Luochen.
Despite its small size, Wuhun City's city walls were built entirely according to the standards of a capital city, reaching a height of eighty meters and appearing extremely imposing from the outside. The walls were also over thirty meters thick, constructed entirely of granite.
As a true money-grubber, Li Luochen found the architecture of Wuhun City truly breathtaking, giving him a very luxurious feeling.
This city didn't exist originally; it was entirely built with funds from the Spirit Hall. How easy is it to build a city like this?
What's most peculiar is that Spirit City isn't a typical quadrilateral city, but a hexagon, meaning it has six walls. The patrols on the walls are all conducted by Spirit Masters, dressed in the special uniforms of the Spirit Hall.
On each of the six city walls, there is a huge relief, exactly the same as the one on the Spirit Hall token. It symbolizes six powerful spirits.
Entering Wuhun City, one is struck by its emptiness. The streets are sparsely populated, and shops are few and far between. The shops that do exist mostly sell items needed by soul masters. They even sell soul tools with spatial storage capabilities, though the quality is, of course, somewhat inferior.
Li Luochen felt a bit like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden when he entered Wuhun City. He originally thought that Tiandou City was luxurious enough, but he didn't expect Wuhun Hall to be even more luxurious. Which pope built it?
"How about it? My house is pretty good, isn't it? This is just in the city center. The Papal Palace and the Hall of Worship are even more magnificent. Of course, that's just for you. For me, it's just my house."
Qian Renxue said with a smile that she had finally managed to win back some ground with Li Luochen by bringing her country bumpkin boyfriend home!
"Looks like I've hooked up with a rich woman. Rich woman, I'm hungry~"
Li Luochen suddenly acted coquettishly, startling Qian Renxue, but Qian Renxue quickly recovered.
"Hehe, I need a well-behaved dog. How about you be my puppy? I'm really good at taking care of dogs~"
"Woof woof~"
Li Luochen called out twice in response.
(Shameless, bootlicker, I spit on you!)
Li Luochen and Qian Renxue chatted as they arrived at the Papal Palace.
The Papal Palace is the most magnificent building in Wuhun City. Of course, there is also the Douluo Palace, which is superior to the Papal Palace.
The Papal Palace is the most magnificent building on the hillside, and it can be clearly seen even from this distance.
It is entirely a columnar structure with a dome, and the exterior of the building is covered with a golden material that sparkles in the sunlight. The highest ruler of the Spirit Hall lives there.
The Elders' Hall of the Spirit Hall is also located within the Papal Palace. Of course, ordinary people cannot possibly meet those elders.
The other building is located at the top of the hill. It is much smaller than the Papal Palace, about one-third the size. The building structure is somewhat similar, but its exterior is as white as jade and is far less eye-catching than the Papal Palace.
Li Luochen knew that the building that looked much smaller was the highest-ranking entity in the Spirit Hall, the Douluo Hall.
This place is reserved for deceased Title Douluos. It can also be considered the burial ground for Title Douluos. The reason for the devout atmosphere here is not because of the Papal Palace, but because of this Douluo Palace.
No matter where the Papal Palace is built, the Douluo Palace will be built alongside it, and the Douluo Palace will always be located at a higher position than the Papal Palace.
During every major ceremony, the Pope would personally go to the Douluo Palace to pay homage, but even he had no right to enter the Douluo Palace before his death.
These are the rules, rules that no one can violate; otherwise, they will be attacked by all the Soul Masters.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Papal Palace and the Douluo Palace that Wuhun City was called the Holy Land of Soul Masters by the Wuhun Hall after its establishment.
Of course, this is also the consensus of the vast majority of Soul Masters.
Then, Tang San overthrew this place. But even if Tang San hadn't overthrown it, Bibi Dong would have taken it down. One is a bit dim-witted, and the other is brainless. They're not to be trifled with.
However, Li Luochen was confident that no one in his era could overthrow the Spirit Hall. He wouldn't allow anyone to destroy Qian Renxue's home. Dare to destroy his in-laws? Take this, Old Li's stick!
"stop!"
The armored guards at the entrance to the Papal Palace shouted.
"This is the Papal Palace, a place of absolute authority. Take another step forward and you will be killed on sight!"
Li Luochen looked at the guard and thought, "Doesn't he have any sense of propriety? But he's quite responsible."
Then Li Luochen looked at Qian Renxue, and the two exchanged glances, wondering whether to show her the Holy Maiden's Decree or his Pope's Decree.
Qian Renxue casually took out a golden token with a six-winged angel engraved on it.
"Your Highness! I was only following the rules. I hope Your Highness will calm down."
The guard immediately knelt on one knee and confessed his guilt to Qian Renxue.
"No need for formalities, open the door, I need to see the Pope!"
Qian Renxue said coldly. As she arrived at the entrance of the Papal Palace, her expression changed from sunny to cloudy, as if a torrential downpour was about to begin.
Li Luochen quickly took Qian Renxue's hand, telling her to calm down and not to disturb the baby.
The guards simply opened the gate.
At this moment, Pope Bibi Dong was reclining on her papal chair, legs crossed, one hand supporting her head, looking rather aloof. The prospective saintess, Hu Liena, stood beside her. When she heard footsteps approaching, Bibi Dong slightly opened her eyes. She saw a brat—how dare this brat appear before her?
Next to the rascal was a stunningly beautiful woman with blonde hair. Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Bibi Dong knew that this was a piece of her own flesh and blood, a daughter she had never cared for.
Bibi Dong was now fully awake. Her daughter had returned, and she needed to take a good look at her.
"She's gotten even prettier. Her eyes, nose, and chin are starting to look more and more like mine. She's getting prettier and prettier. It's a pity that the brat got to have her."
Xiaoxue must be twenty-three years old this year. Time flies! That little girl from back then has grown up. It's a pity I never gave you a kind look back then.
You must resent me a lot now, I haven't fulfilled my duties as a mother, but seeing your hair reminds me of that bastard! Xiaoxue, it's all my fault, I've transferred my hatred for him onto you.
Bibi Dong was radiating sadness, and Hu Liena sensed that her teacher was in a bad mood, but she didn't know why.
The woman in front of her was exceptionally beautiful, much prettier than her, but she was already pregnant. The man next to her seemed to be Li Luochen; she knew him somewhat.
He is hailed as the youngest genius soul master on the continent and is known as the number one among the younger generation. His soul power has long since reached the Soul Emperor realm.
Hu Liena longs to pursue a man like that, but unfortunately she's only at level 59.
However, Hu Liena took a closer look at Li Luochen. Li Luochen was over two meters tall, with a strong and muscular build. Although his muscles were exaggerated, they were not lacking in aesthetic appeal.
Moreover, Li Luochen is quite handsome. Due to the evolution of his martial soul, Li Luochen's appearance changed from delicate and pleasing to a handsome man, but he is not effeminate at all and is full of masculinity.
Hu Liena felt that Li Luochen's appearance matched her aesthetic standards perfectly. He had a good figure, was tall, handsome, and strong. In any case, the more Hu Liena looked at him, the more she liked him.
Yes, it's confirmed, Hu Liena is a total sucker for good looks.
While Hu Liena was captivated by Li Luochen's good looks, Bibi Dong suddenly discovered a very serious problem! Qian Renxue's belly... Qian Renxue's belly was bulging.
What does this mean? This brat has completely taken advantage of their little cabbage, and now they even have a child together.
"Li Luochen!"
Bibi Dong roared and came directly in front of Li Luochen, her eyes flashing with a purplish-black light.
Soul rings appeared on his body: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.
Li Luochen was directly suppressed by Bibi Dong's powerful soul power and immediately released his martial soul and soul rings to resist.
Black, black, black, black, red, red, red, red
The eight spirit rings withstood Bibi Dong's spirit power. To Li Luochen's surprise, Bibi Dong's spirit power had reached level ninety-nine, and her aura was much stronger than that of Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Suddenly, Bibi Dong grabbed Li Luochen by the neck.
After a short while of pinching, Qian Renxue released her martial spirit, the Angelic Holy Sword, pointing it at Bibi Dong's neck.
"Let him go!"
Qian Renxue shouted loudly.
Bibi Dong was also shocked by this scene. Her daughter was actually willing to point her sword at her for this brat? Then she sighed and released her grip.
However, Bibi Dong's momentum remained undiminished.
"Li Luochen, if I find out you've wronged Xiaoxue, or if Xiaoxue has suffered any injustice at your hands, I'll destroy you!"
Bibi Dong said fiercely to Li Luochen.
Li Luochen was so terrified by Bibi Dong's actions that he couldn't even take his own life. He hadn't even experienced the trials of the Slaughter City yet; he would probably have wet himself just now.
Good heavens, is my mother-in-law really that cruel?
"Okay, mother-in-law."
Bibi Dong glared fiercely at Li Luochen. As for Li Luochen's mother-in-law, she could only accept it; calling her that was the right thing to do.
Then, Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue beside her and grabbed her hand.
Qian Renxue instinctively wanted to dodge, but what level of cultivation did Bibi Dong possess? There was no way she could escape.
"What are you trying to do! You can't kill this bastard child! Do you want to kill my child?!"
Qian Renxue shouted loudly, and then tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
