Night fell, and the lights came on. Even in a small city like Nuoding City, the nights were quite lively.
The carriage moved slowly forward and arrived in front of the Spirit Hall in the center of the city.
The two guards at the entrance of the Spirit Hall saw this group of more than ten people, each riding sturdy horses. Although no soul power fluctuations were emitted, they still felt an overwhelming pressure as heavy as a mountain.
Jiang Chen and the other two got off the carriage, and the Ninth Elder also stepped out.
The guards dismounted at the same time. The Soul Douluo captain, named Luo Qi, quickly stepped forward and took out a token.
The two guards were terrified and nodded repeatedly. One of them ran out to lead the guards to settle the horses and carriages.
The other one respectfully led the group inside.
It was outside of working hours at the Spirit Hall in the evening, so most of the deacons in the Nuoding City branch had already gotten off work.
The entire first-floor hall was somewhat empty.
"Lords, please wait a moment. I will go and inform the Hall Master," the guard said respectfully and hurriedly ran off to notify him.
The Hall Master was required to reside within the Spirit Hall. Although Su Yuntao had a house outside, he had already moved to live inside the Spirit Hall.
In less than a moment, Su Yuntao came hurrying over.
The moment he saw the visitors, Su Yuntao's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself that important figures had arrived.
He had previously heard the guard say that people from the Holy Temple had come, so he rushed out immediately.
The group of people in front of him gave him the impression that it was that day six years ago, exerting tremendous pressure on him.
But this was clearly not the Pope. The Pope's nearly perfect appearance was already etched in his mind.
He turned his head and shouted to the several maids beside him: "Quickly prepare tea, prepare rooms, prepare dinner. Remember, use the highest quality tea."
After giving the instructions, he quickly walked in front of Jiang Chen and the others.
His gaze quickly swept across the faces of Jiang Chen and Qian Renxue. While feeling amazed in his heart, he also pondered quickly, but he had no information about Jiang Chen and Qian Renxue.
"Honored lords, you have traveled a long way. Please follow me to the conference hall to rest for a while. Dinner will be ready soon."
Jiang Chen held back the smile in his heart. Together with Qian Renxue, Xiao Ying, and the Ninth Elder, the four of them followed behind Su Yuntao and went up to the conference hall on the second floor.
The rest of the guards remained in the first-floor hall.
Jiang Chen and the other three sat down at the side positions of the hall and did not take the highest seat of the Hall Master.
Su Yuntao did not dare to sit down. He stood in front of Jiang Chen and Qian Renxue, his attitude quite respectful.
"May I ask the identities of you, several lords?"
Only then did Jiang Chen carefully observe Su Yuntao.
Six years had passed. The once impulsive and rash Su Yuntao now carried a mature and steady aura.
He should not be thirty years old yet, but his appearance already looked like that of a thirty-year-old. It must be that he had worried a lot about the Spirit Hall these past few years.
He was still the handsome and tall Brother Tao from back then, only that he had grown and matured.
Jiang Chen stood up and smiled gently: "Su Yuntao, do you not remember me? Back then, it was you who personally helped me awaken my martial soul."
Su Yuntao's heart was startled. He quickly thought back, but he simply could not recall which child he had awakened who could be connected to the Holy Temple.
The Spirit Hall only had one Holy Temple in the Heaven Dou Empire, and that was in Heaven Dou City.
Jiang Chen continued: "Six years ago, Holy Soul Village, zombie martial soul."
Su Yuntao's body suddenly trembled. His eyes widened abruptly, and he cried out in surprise: "You are Jiang Chen!"
Immediately after, he reacted instantly and hurriedly said: "This subordinate was momentarily anxious and spoke out of turn, offending the lord. Please forgive me."
Jiang Chen had already become the Pope's disciple. How could he dare to call him directly by name?
Even if it was through his hands that he had awakened, that wouldn't do!
At this moment, the shock in his heart was like turbulent waves. The Pope's disciple had actually arrived at the Nuoding City branch hall.
This was an honor for Nuoding City.
He never expected that the little brat from back then… no… Lord Jiang Chen from back then was now so tall and handsome…
Jiang Chen raised his hand and patted Su Yuntao on the shoulder. "It's fine. Sit down. Let's talk slowly."
Su Yuntao felt overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. Under Jiang Chen's insistence, he sat at the very end.
Tea was quickly served. Jiang Chen took a gentle sip and smiled: "Su Yuntao, thanks to you, I am now the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall."
Su Yuntao's heart trembled. His hand shook, and he almost failed to hold the cup of hot tea steady.
He hurriedly stood up again and respectfully bowed: "Su Yuntao greets His Highness the Holy Son."
While shocked, his heart was extremely proud. The child he had awakened was now the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.
What the Holy Son represented, Su Yuntao knew very clearly. The Holy Son would become the next generation Pope in the future.
And his own name would also be recorded in the history books of the Spirit Hall along with Jiang Chen.
Thinking of this, his whole heart trembled with excitement, and a look of joy appeared on his mature and resolute face.
Jiang Chen then said, "However, you cannot publicize my identity."
"This subordinate understands," Su Yuntao hurriedly assured.
In fact, there was nothing much to announce outwardly. For someone like Tang Hao, who had a grudge against the Spirit Hall, there was little difference between the Pope's disciple and the Holy Son.
It was all the same, a single hammer blow.
But during the time they were staying overnight in Nuoding City, the news definitely could not be leaked.
Jiang Chen pointed with his hand to Qian Renxue below him and said: "This is the granddaughter of the Grand Worshipper."
The Grand Worshipper, that was one of the pillars of the Spirit Hall, wasn't it?
Su Yuntao's heart was shocked again, and he once more respectfully bowed to Qian Renxue.
"This is the Ninth Elder."
Su Yuntao bowed again.
Jiang Chen pointed to Xiao Ying at the very back, beside Su Yuntao, and said: "As for her, she is just a little maid."
Su Yuntao was stunned for a moment, but he still respectfully bowed to Xiao Ying.
Anyone who could follow the Holy Son in must not be simple.
Although she understood her own status, hearing Jiang Chen introduce her this way, Xiao Ying immediately pouted.
This Holy Son was too improper, always teasing her with his words.
Jiang Chen pressed his hand down, signaling Su Yuntao to sit.
"We are just passing through this place and staying for one night," Jiang Chen said.
"I wonder if Hall Master Su has been getting used to being the Hall Master these past few years?"
Su Yuntao said seriously, "Thanks to the grace of His Highness the Holy Son, this subordinate was able to take this position. These years, I have always worked diligently for the Spirit Hall without any slack."
"Hall Master Su has worked hard."
"Not hard at all. It's what I should do."
Jiang Chen took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue passed it back.
Su Yuntao received the pill bottle from Xiao Ying's hands. When he saw it clearly, he immediately became excited.
He knew what this was. It was a miraculous pill developed by the Spirit Hall, a top-secret treasure.
"This is the Origin Cultivation Pill. It can enhance potential and increase cultivation speed. Keep it well."
Su Yuntao hurriedly stood up and said excitedly: "Thank you for the reward from His Highness the Holy Son. This subordinate has already taken this pill before. It is indeed very miraculous."
Jiang Chen was puzzled and asked: "You have taken it before?"
Previously, Bibi Dong had told him that the pills had already been popularized in the army, and the Spirit Hall elites across the continent had also received the pills.
But in a small place like Nuoding City, they probably shouldn't know about the pills yet.
Su Yuntao said gratefully: "In recent years, His Holiness the Pope has sent someone every six months to deliver a bottle of Origin Cultivation Pill. My talent has already improved a lot compared to before. I broke through to Soul Elder more than a year ago."
Jiang Chen was surprised in his heart. He had not expected that Bibi Dong would actually remember a small figure like Su Yuntao and send someone to deliver pills.
This pill had a more obvious effect on people with lower innate soul power. Su Yuntao, with his innate soul power of level two, had managed to break through to Soul Elder at such a young age. It was already extremely difficult.
This pill had played a crucial role.
Su Yuntao continued: "However, after taking this pill a few times, the improvement effect was no longer obvious, so I simply stopped taking it."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly. That was indeed the case. "Then you can give it to your wife."
"My wife is the same as me. This pill no longer has any effect on her either. Later, when His Holiness the Pope sent more over, I gave them all to my son."
Jiang Chen was surprised and asked: "You have a son now?"
Su Yuntao nodded, a look of happiness on his face. "The little guy is already five years old."
