Chapter 131: Far North - News about the Fifth Soul Ring
Sure enough, there was a faint, elegant fragrance unique to Qian Renxue lingering in the air. It was not strong, but clearly discernible.
"That was a close call!"
Lin Xiao patted his chest, still feeling frightened, and even a thin layer of cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.
Not daring to delay even a moment, he rushed to the bathroom in the room almost as if escaping.
I must immediately! Immediately! Wash this damn fragrance away completely!
...
Ye Lengleng stayed there until dusk before returning from the guest room of "Xueqinghe".
During this period, Lin Xiao was also quite worried and confused.
He couldn't figure out what Qian Renxue's intention was in looking for Ye Lengleng.
But then he thought again, this is the Dragon Soul Sect, his territory.
Qian Renxue is now one of our own, and since she is a girl, I don't think she would do anything to Ye Lengleng.
Therefore, he did not send anyone to urge him.
It was not until Ye Lengleng's figure appeared at the door that Lin Xiao went up to him and asked a few brief questions.
"Leng Leng, why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to see you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lengleng raised his head and looked at Lin Xiao with a rather strange look.
There seemed to be a hint of inquiry, confusion, and an indescribable meaning in those eyes.
After a moment, she slowly answered, "Nothing special."
"Her Royal Highness...she...gave me many precious gifts."
"I had a great conversation with her, so I stayed a few more hours."
Lin Xiao listened to Ye Lengleng's vague explanation and frowned slightly, but seeing that she seemed unwilling to say more, he did not ask any more questions.
...
Time flies, and before I knew it, two months had passed.
In the past two months, Lin Xiao has devoted almost all his energy to the construction and development of the Dragon Soul Sect.
The sect was newly established, and because of the amazing strength and prestige displayed at the opening ceremony, there was an endless stream of forces and soul masters from all sides coming to visit, show goodwill, and even hope to join every day.
Even though the Dragon Soul Sect had extremely strict standards for selecting disciples, the number of formal disciples in the sect had already reached over 2,000 soul masters.
Dealing with these complicated and trivial sect affairs made Lin Xiao feel overwhelmed.
He just felt that this was more tiring than fighting a battle with a Titled Douluo.
On this day, Lin Xiao was buried in a pile of sect files with a frown on his face.
Suddenly, a sect disciple came hurriedly to report.
"Report to the Sect Master! We have discovered a Frost Glass Dragon in the Far North that has cultivated for approximately 50,000 years!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao suddenly raised his head, his eyes instantly flashed with a bright light, and he was overjoyed.
This Frost Glass Dragon had already sent his sect disciples in several groups to secretly search the far north long after he destroyed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.
Unexpectedly, it took nearly five months to finally get the definite news.
This is not just a 50,000-year-old soul beast.
This is related to his fifth soul ring, a soul ring that is enough to bring about another huge transformation in his strength!
Lin Xiao immediately stood up from his seat, his tone filled with a hint of uncontrollable excitement as he ordered, "Good! That's great!"
"Quickly invite the great priest Dugu and the four hall masters to the Dragon God Temple and tell them that I have something important to discuss with them!"
Soon, Lin Xiao, Dugu Bo, and the four hall masters of the Dragon Soul Sect - Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He and Xiao Zhan - gathered together.
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit solemn. Aside from Dugu Bo, everyone else, though usually busy with work, was quietly waiting for the sect leader's next words.
After everyone was seated, Lin Xiao glanced at the several core members of the sect present and spoke in a deep voice.
"The disciple just reported."
"I've finally found my fifth soul ring. However, it's far away in the far north."
As soon as these words came out, the four hall masters showed joy on their faces. Then they all stood up, clasped their fists and congratulated him.
"Congratulations, Sect Master!"
"Congratulations, Sect Master!"
Lin Xiao waved his hand, indicating that everyone didn't need to be polite.
He continued, "Therefore, the great priest Dugu and I will leave the sect for a while and head to the Far North."
"During the time I'm away, all matters within the sect will be handed over to the four of you to discuss and decide."
"If you encounter any important matters that you are unable to decide, you can consult my master, Ye Renxin."
There was a hint of relief in his words, as if he couldn't wait to leave.
But obtaining the fifth soul ring and improving one's own strength is the top priority, and no one can refute this reason.
Upon hearing this, the four hall masters naturally did not dare to have any objection.
"We will obey the orders of the Sect Master!"
The four of them bowed again and accepted the order.
Lin Xiao nodded and continued, "Just remember one thing: when we, the Dragon Soul Sect, recruit disciples, we prefer to have fewer than the wrong people."
"Character must come first, followed by talent and strength."
"This point must never be shaken."
"Also, we must not slack off in the development of Dragon Soul Academy. We must spare no effort in training talented students."
"As for Tieshan, his Dragon Soul Mercenary Group, the sect must also give its full support. This is crucial for us to gather intelligence and obtain resources."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi and the others all looked solemn and nodded in response, "We understand!"
Seeing that everything had been arranged, Lin Xiao no longer had any worries.
He did not delay any longer and turned his gaze to Dugu Bo beside him.
"Senior Dugu! Let's set off now."
He looked so anxious, as if he didn't want to stay in the Dragon Soul Sect any longer.
Dugu Bo naturally had no objection to this.
Although he didn't have to worry about the sect's trivial matters in the past few months, he was still troubled by them.
Every day, there is an endless stream of soul masters who come here to visit him or even become his disciples.
Even though he had announced that he would not see any guests, there were always some people with special identities or who came to him through various channels, forcing him to come out and deal with them.
It's really annoying.
Hearing that he could finally leave this "place of trouble", the joy on Dugu Bo's face was even stronger than Lin Xiao's.
He didn't even bother to say hello to his beloved granddaughter Dugu Yan.
He couldn't wait to pull Lin Xiao, and with a flash of his body, he turned into two streams of light and shot towards the far north.
Both of them are very strong, and they are traveling at an extremely fast speed when they are trying their best.
We traveled at lightning speed, crossing countless mountains, rivers and streams.
More than half a month later, an endless world of ice and snow appeared before their eyes.
This is the area reported by the Dragon Soul Sect disciples as the place where the Frost Glass Dragon often appears.
As soon as they stepped into this area, they keenly sensed the powerful soul power fluctuations remaining in the air and some huge claw marks on the ground.
Following these traces, they soon found the target of their trip in an ice valley.
