Chapter 101 Chen Xin's Judgment
Given that, and especially since Xiao Yan is at the Heaven Dou Academy, and I specifically instructed Committee Member Meng a few things, it's impossible for Xiao Yan to get into trouble.
Moreover, Sword Douluo had just said that the other party had already arrived at the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City. What does it mean that he was a step late?
What time is it?
Ning Fengzhi was also very nervous. He didn't understand what Chen Xin was trying to say. Since Chen Xin said it was too late, did Xiao Yan also die like Yan Xiao?
"When I arrived at Xiao Yan's dormitory, he was already gone from the academy. Rongrong said that Qin Ming seemed to be looking for him. So I followed him and finally saw the two of them just before I arrived at Tian Dou City. I overheard their conversation. They were discussing the assassin who attacked Xiao Yan."
"An assassin?!" Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened. He glanced at Xue Qinghe beside him out of the corner of his eye, whose eyes were clearly also concerned about Xiao Yan's situation.
"Yes, two Soul King level assassins, and both from the Star Luo Empire."
Xue Qinghe didn't speak, but nodded. Indeed, since it had been confirmed that Salas was the one who attacked Yan Xiao, then Xiao Yan was theoretically not in any danger. Of course, he hadn't taken other forces into account.
Currently, Xiao Yan is in the Heaven Dou Empire, studying at the Heaven Dou Academy. No matter how you look at it, he will serve the Heaven Dou Empire in the future. Moreover, he has the theoretical master Yan Xiao behind him. In the eyes of anyone, Xiao Yan is a considerable threat.
It's likely that these two Soul King-level assassins had been staking out outside the Heaven Dou Academy for a long time, and only after Xiao Yan heard about Yan Xiao's accident and left the academy did they finally have the opportunity to make their move against him.
"Since the assassination attempt on these two Soul Kings failed, Uncle Jian, could you capture them and question them about the situation?"
After all, Qin Ming also possessed the cultivation of a Soul Emperor. Protecting Xiao Yan, who had not yet obtained his fourth Soul Ring and only possessed the strength of a Soul Venerable, and dealing with two Soul Kings was indeed quite difficult. However, since Xiao Yan was alive, it proved that the two had definitely failed and fled.
Chen Xin shook his head: "This is what I meant by being too late. When I returned to the scene of their battle and tried to investigate the fluctuations of soul power, I found that the aura of the two scouts was barely perceptible. Or to put it another way, they were already dead. There was only scorched earth at the scene, clearly indicating that they had been burned alive by fire-attribute soul masters, leaving no trace of their bodies."
"Dead?" Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened. Qin Ming seemed to have graduated from Shrek Academy as well. As a Soul Emperor, how could he kill both of them while protecting Xiao Yan? Whether it was the strong faculty of Heaven Dou Academy or the unique teaching methods of Shrek Academy, he was a little confused for a moment.
"Qin Ming's martial soul seems to be the Fiery Azure Wolf. I didn't expect him to have such abilities. I'll have to give him a proper reward when I go to the academy another day." Xue Qinghe couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. When he heard Chen Xin say that it was the Star Luo spies who made the move, he had already made up his mind to teach the Star Luo people a lesson. How dare they attack people on Tian Dou's territory! However, Qin Ming's actions were not very well done. If he had left them alive, it would have been easier for him to get revenge. But given Star Luo's methods of raising spies, he figured that even if these two spies fell into his hands, they would probably commit suicide.
"No." Chen Xin shook his head again. "According to Qin Ming, he was controlled by the mental-type Soul King at the time, while Xiao Yan was not controlled because of his strong mental power. So when Qin Ming broke free from the mental attack, the two of them were already dead."
Chen Xin recounted what he had heard Qin Ming say at the time. His judgment on the deaths of the two Star Luo Soul Kings was based on his own experience. Therefore, there was only one possibility: Xiao Yan was hiding something. In any case, in Qin Ming's view, apart from the fire marks, there were no bodies at the scene.
This is why he exclaimed that Xiao Yan had killed two Soul Kings after arriving at the scene and drawing conclusions, but he later rejected this idea, including in his current reflection.
How could a Soul Master with only three Soul Rings and Soul Skills possibly be a match for two Soul Kings with five Soul Rings? Yet Xiao Yan concealed the truth about their deaths. There is only one possibility behind this.
"I am quite certain that Qin Ming did not lie. Judging from his regret and the fact that he almost injured Xiao Yan, his emotions were genuine. Therefore, I suspect that behind Xiao Yan, besides Master Yan Xiao, there is another expert who is at least at the Soul Douluo level, and must have an extreme fire attribute martial soul. Otherwise, it would be impossible to burn the bodies of the two spies to ashes and leave nothing at the scene."
Upon hearing Chen Xin's assessment, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi realized that the ultimate fire attribute martial soul was none other than Xiao Yan.
The two of them agreed with Chen Xin's statement. After all, the two Soul Kings were burned to ashes. Everyone saw it during the finals. Although Yu Tianheng was protected by the Nine Heart Begonia and Blue Silver Grass, which prevented him from being seriously injured, Xiao Yan's martial soul's flame intensity at that time was not enough to burn a person to ashes.
If it can't even kill a Soul Master, how could it possibly eliminate two Soul Kings at the same time? Therefore, the one who made the move is most likely the person behind Xiao Yan, as Chen Xin said.
Such domineering power, let alone a Soul Douluo, might even be possible for a Title Douluo. However, on the Douluo Continent, there has never been a Title Douluo Soul Master with an ultimate fire attribute martial soul.
"Since both of them possess extreme fire attributes, if the other person isn't from the same sect as Xiao Yan, they must be his father or something similar. Have you heard of Xiao Yan's father?" Ning Fengzhi asked, since he hadn't known Xiao Yan for very long and they didn't interact much. He looked at Xue Qinghe, hoping to get an answer.
"Xiao Yan comes from Qing Shi Village, a small village within the jurisdiction of Notting City. According to the village chief, his parents abandoned him when he was a child and have not been heard from since," Xue Qinghe said.
"In that case, it is indeed possible. If so, it seems Your Highness will not need to take action yourself." Ning Fengzhi looked at Xue Qinghe. He had already seen the murderous intent in Xue Qinghe's eyes. This was an expression that Xue Qinghe had not shown when she heard about Yan Xiao's accident. This was enough to show how important Xiao Yan was to her.
Xue Qinghe nodded, his expression not very pleasant, because he could tell that Ning Fengzhi was lecturing him, and that the other party had also noticed his loss of composure.
He had just been thinking about how to launch a proper counterattack against the Star Luo Empire. If the Heaven Dou Empire's assassins couldn't do it, he still had...
"Moreover, Xiao Yan is very likely acting on the other party's instructions or knowing of their existence. In that case, an ultimate fire attribute soul master from an unheard-of sect would be quite a disaster for the Star Luo Empire," Chen Xin said, but his eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He really wanted to fight the person behind Xiao Yan.
That's the way of the sword: the more setbacks you face, the stronger you become, until you have no more opponents.
