"Sect Master, let's enter the city first," Iron Palm Douluo said. "If Senior Wang Xian'er has already arrived, she's probably at the former site of the Blacksmith's Association, which is now Gengxin City's most important location: the Soul Tool Research and Development Center."
Du Busi nodded and strode into the city. Though Gengxin City seemed like a small border town, its combat power was surprisingly formidable. On the surface, it had at least a hundred thousand troops stationed there, along with a legion of soul tool users. Even if it couldn't compare to the Sun Moon Empire, it was far superior to the Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling Empires.
The city even had Titled Douluo guarding it. After all, it was a major city for mineral production and a hub for soul tool research and development, so the Star Luo Empire naturally valued it greatly. Therefore, Wang Xian'er chose to meet Du Busi here.
She harbored no ill intentions, but as a healing soul master with little combat power, she understood the importance of being cautious. This could be considered the second safest place in the Star Luo Empire after Star Luo City. Here, even if Du Busi intended to act against her, he would have to think twice.
Upon arriving at the former site of the Blacksmith's Association, now the Star Luo Soul Tool Research Center, they saw Wang Xian'er already waiting for them at the main entrance. Since they hadn't concealed themselves, someone had likely already reported their arrival to Wang Xian'er as soon as they entered the city.
Wang Xian'er was accompanied by two burly men, both possessing extraordinary presence, not inferior to Iron Palm Douluo. They were likely Titled Douluo-level experts as well.
"Du Busi, I didn't expect you to make me fulfill the condition so quickly!" Wang Xian'er greeted him, coming forward.
"Haha, saving people is like fighting a fire. Medical Immortal is truly well-prepared, bringing even these two along. Long time no see, Giant Hammer, Shattered Star!" Du Busi looked at the two men beside Wang Xian'er, showing no apprehension, but rather a hint of admiration.
"So it's them!" Yuwen Tuo thought to himself. These two Titled Douluo were on a completely different level compared to Heaven Fiend Douluo and Herculean Douluo, who had appeared in the previous competition.
Firstly, neither of them had consumed any growth-accelerating drugs; they had broken through to Titled Douluo purely through their own efforts. Both had also achieved the State of Heavenly Harmony, a complete fusion with their martial souls, which was necessary for advancing to the Super Douluo level.
Especially Shattered Star Douluo. Legend had it that when his martial soul awakened at the age of six, a purple light appeared on his body. This purple light would shatter anything it encountered.
Therefore, he named his martial soul "Shattered Star Light." This man was born with full innate soul power, and Shattered Star Douluo had long since advanced to the Super Douluo level, making him one of the Star Luo Empire's most powerful Titled Douluo. In truth, his Shattered Star Light possessed spatial power, specifically, spatial destruction power, making its might extremely formidable.
Although Giant Hammer Douluo's rank wasn't as high, he had his own unique skill. His self-created technique, "Striking the Ox Through the Mountain," allowed him to attack enemies from a distance, making him incredibly difficult to guard against.
He could even directly shatter an enemy's internal organs through their body. Even Titled Douluo who specialized in physical cultivation rarely managed to train their internal organs to be as unmoving as a mountain. Giant Hammer Douluo's combat power was not much weaker than Wang Luohai, who had undergone a secondary awakening of his Body Martial Soul.
Adding a Medical Immortal Douluo, who could turn Titled Douluo into immortal berserkers, along with a hundred thousand strong army and a soul tool legion, even someone as strong as Du Busi would have his hands full.
Medical Immortal Douluo said, "Hehe, what can I do? Who doesn't know how barbaric and overbearing your Body Douluo's temperament is? If this old woman wanted to see you, how could I not be fully prepared? But now, I truly know I was being overly cautious."
If Du Busi had even the slightest thought of harming her, why would he bring a child like Yuwen Tuo along, delivering him to them as a hostage?
Du Busi paid no mind to Wang Xian'er's sarcasm. "Medical Immortal is indeed overly cautious. How could this old man be such a despicable person? May I ask, Medical Immortal, have you brought that item out?"
"I have!" Wang Xian'er took out a round soul tool and asked curiously, "Du Busi, who exactly do you want this old woman to save, that you even need me to bring this Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Device?"
This was indeed the Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Device that the Star Luo Empire had used during the Great Soul Master Competition, but it wasn't the same one as before. That one was only a Tier 5 soul tool, whereas the one Wang Xian'er carried differed significantly in size alone. It was a large-scale Nine Revolutions Soul Transformation Device capable of being used once by a Titled Douluo.
"Thank you, Medical Immortal. Let's find a quiet place to talk," Du Busi said.
"Please!" Medical Immortal Douluo was, after all, the host, so she took the lead.
The Soul Tool Research Center was definitely off-limits to Du Busi; it was a place only high-ranking officials of the Star Luo Empire were qualified to enter. The place they were headed was the Gengxin City Lord's Mansion.
On the way, Wang Xian'er looked at Yuwen Tuo and asked, "Child, didn't you return to the Heavenly Soul Empire with Jiang Peng? How did you end up with Body Douluo?"
"Because my girlfriend, Xiao Xiao, though she doesn't have a Body Martial Soul, possesses twin martial souls. She was noticed by Senior Miao Xin, the Mind Douluo of the Body Sect,
who took her as a disciple and plans to teach her the method of integrating heart with melody. So, I also became friends with the Body Sect. During that time, His Excellency Body Douluo discovered that my flame martial soul was helpful to him, so he asked me for assistance, and I came with him," Yuwen Tuo explained.
He currently did not wish to expose his true relationship with the Body Sect, so he chose to use Xiao Xiao as an excuse.
"So that's how it is." Wang Xian'er couldn't tell if Yuwen Tuo was telling the truth or not. Yuwen Tuo had, after all, already refused to join Star Luo; he wasn't one of their people. She also had no standing to pry further.
Moreover, his bloodline was truly special. No matter how much the Grand Princess might reject him, it couldn't change the fact that he carried the blood of the Star Luo imperial family. As the Vice Hall Master of the Star Luo Worship Hall, she couldn't be too harsh on Yuwen Tuo.
"Oh, by the way, Senior, how is my Sister Luochen doing now?" Yuwen Tuo asked.
Wang Xian'er smiled. "Hehe, you little one are quite concerned about Luochen. Don't worry, she's doing very well. That girl has extraordinary talent, and this old woman will certainly teach her well and ensure she doesn't suffer any bullying."
"Thank you, Senior!"
For the current Yuwen Tuo, he didn't want Ling Luochen to be involved in any more of the grudges between him and Shrek. He only wanted her to be well and cultivate in peace.
As they spoke, the group had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
The Gengxin City Lord respectfully welcomed them into an inner room. He had already received orders from Wang Xian'er to prepare a secret room for them, specifically for Wang Xian'er to treat someone.
"Alright, you can tell me now, Du Busi, who exactly do you want me to save?" Wang Xian'er asked again.
"Medical Immortal, the person this old man wants you to save is standing right before you," Du Busi said.
Wang Xian'er was startled. "The person you speak of... is it you yourself?"
