“What? So the mysterious person who secretly helped me over the past few decades is actually you? I wonder why Lord Marquis wanted to help me?” Wen Xiao revealed an incredulous expression.

“Looks like you don’t really believe in this. Do you still have a grudge against me for destroying your dantian with a single palm strike decades ago?” Marquis Golden Lion smiled.

Wen Xiao remained silent for a moment, apparently acquiescing. After suffering Zhendong Mansion’s humiliation for decades, how could he not feel resentment in his heart? The Golden Lion Marquis, who had destroyed his dantian with one hand, was ranked first.

The Marquis of Golden Lion snorted coldly, “You must know that if I hadn’t broken your dantian first, you would have been killed by my father’s palm several decades ago. Where would you have had the chance to survive?”

“You actually wanted to save me?” Wen Xiao thought about it carefully. It seemed like it was really like this. If it wasn’t for Marquis Golden Lion’s actions, he wouldn’t have survived.

Under the circumstances at that time, there was no need to save his life at all. King Zhendong did not think that humiliating him was a fun thing to do, nor did he have the leisure to do so.

Killing Dang directly was the most reasonable method, but it allowed Wen Xiao to save his life first. It seemed that Marquis Golden Lion was definitely mediating.

“So Lord Marquis saved my life. I thought I was lucky.” Wen Xiao knew that he had misunderstood the other party, and his face revealed a grateful expression.

“It was also for Lingzhu’s sake that I secretly helped you. Back then, I had the best relationship with Lingzhu’s siblings. I really couldn’t bear to feel sad after seeing her.” Marquis Golden Lion sighed.

“It’s a blessing for Lingzhu to have a brother like you.”

“Actually, the main reason I saved your life was because I saw my past from you.” Marquis Golden Lion’s face revealed a look of recollection. “Do you know that I once liked a commoner woman and even wanted to marry her? However, when I accidentally revealed this thought, she completely disappeared within a few days. It was as if she had evaporated from the mortal world. No matter how hard I looked for her, I couldn’t find her anymore.”

“Was it secretly attacked by the palace?”

“That’s right, I am the heir of the Prince’s Manor. I am not allowed to marry a commoner woman. They killed my beloved woman and destroyed her corpse. It was as if nothing had happened afterwards. Even now, I have not found out who did it.” The Golden Lion Marquis revealed a rare expression of pain.

“It’s because I saw my shadow in your love with Lingzhu that I decided to help you. I don’t want to see a couple of lovers being torn apart just like that.”

“I didn’t expect Lord Marquis to be a most loving and saintly person.” Li Qing praised.

“An old man like me is also sentimental. I’ll make you laugh.” Marquis Golden Lion’s expression quickly returned to normal as he smiled heartily.

“I like Lord Marquis’s personality very much. The three of us have quite similar personalities. In fact, we are all of the same type of people.” Li Qing smiled.

“Luckily, I misunderstood Lord Marquis. I thought you were specifically targeting us.” Wen Xiaoxian’s face revealed a look of shame.

Marquis Golden Lion said, “Actually, I didn’t only help you once back then. I secretly helped you when you eloped. Otherwise, do you think you two can escape Jizhou City with your two strengths back then?”

“I said, how did this go so smoothly? Many of the backup plans back then were useless. So this is the reason.” Wen Xiaoxian broke out in cold sweat.

The Golden Lion Marquis snorted coldly, “You two are too childish to see the power of the palace clearly.” Do you just think that escaping from Jizhou City is fine? If you escape from the Great Zhou Dynasty and hide in places like the Eastern Region or the Southern Region, you might not be able to catch you. But you still had the mood to go sightseeing in the Great Zhou, and in the end, you were caught in a few days. ”

“This matter is indeed our carelessness.” Wen Xiaoxian’s expression was a little awkward.

He had originally come from the Southern Domain and had never experienced the dynasty system in the Central Domain. He did not understand Zhendong Mansion’s influence enough, so he acted so recklessly.

“This is status and power!” Marquis Golden Lion emphasized.

“I have a question for Lord Marquis. Did you intentionally want to help us with the three moves tonight?” Li Qing asked.

The Marquis of Golden Lion nodded, “That’s right. From the first time I saw you, I felt that your strength was quite extraordinary. Although you might not be able to withstand my three punches, as long as I put in a little water, no one else would be able to see anything unusual.” “Of course, the strength you displayed afterwards exceeded my imagination. I used all my strength, but I was unable to defeat you in a short period of time.”

“As expected, after three moves, my Eldest Senior Brother and Zhendong Mansion can settle righteously. Even if some people secretly discuss it, the words you have said are naturally impossible to withdraw, and no one dares to raise any objections.”

The promise had already been made. Regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, what he said was equivalent to splashing out water. It was impossible to take it back.

Even if some people in Zhendong Mansion felt that Marquis Golden Lion was letting the water go, it was impossible for them to break this promise. Otherwise, they would be laughed at by outsiders.

“Only by taking advantage of my father’s absence from King Zhendong will I have room to speak. Otherwise, things would not have been so smooth.”

“No matter what, I still have to thank you for your help.” Li Qing said.

“Actually, you won this by relying on your own strength. Even without my help, your strength is so strong. If you want to take Wen Xiaoxian away, I’m afraid it won’t be difficult.”

“Within Jizhou, Zhendong Mansion is too powerful. I don’t want to be your enemy unless I have to. It would be great if I could settle the dispute peacefully. Besides, if I can reconcile with Zhendong Mansion, if Eldest Senior Brother can be with Princess Lingzhu in the future, then it won’t be too stiff.”

‘”Yes, Wen Xiaoxian, it’s not easy for you to be with my sister. She has been staying by my father’s side all this time, and all the memories of you in her mind have been sealed. I’m afraid the situation is not optimistic.”

“Is it difficult to undo her seal?” Wen Xiao hurriedly asked.

“It’s very difficult. You must be a master of the Dao of Soul. However, as you all know, there is too little research on the Dao of Soul among martial artists in this world. It’s too difficult to find such a person.”

“Apart from inviting a Soul Master, is there any other way?” Li Qing asked.

“There are also, for example, treasures of the Dao of Soul that should be able to unlock this seal.”

“A supreme treasure of the Dao of the Soul, for example?”

“As far as I know, for example, the White Lotus Sect has studied the Dao of the Soul very deeply. The Lifeless White Lotus of the Holy Mother of the White Lotus is very effective in this regard. Also, there is the legendary Divine Evolution Pearl, right?”

“Divine Evolution Pearl!” Li Qing was shocked.

“What? Could it be that Brother Li Qing has seen the Divine Evolution Pearl before?” The Marquis of Golden Lion revealed a suspicious expression.

“I have indeed seen someone sell a Soul Evolution Pearl at an auction. Unfortunately, I don’t recognize what it is. It was a pity that I missed it.” Li Qing lied without changing his expression.

“Holy shit, you actually missed the Divine Evolution Pearl? That would be a huge loss!” The Golden Lion King shouted out in pity.

“May I know the origin of the Divine Evolution Pearl? Can you tell me?” Li Qing asked unintentionally.

“Of course!” The Marquis of Golden Lion nodded his head, “In the history of our Central Region, there were all the saints. Have you heard of this?”

“I know that in the 30,000 years of the Middle Ages, over a hundred saints appeared one after another, creating a splendid civilization for the Central Region. Their contribution to the Central Region was not only in terms of martial power, but also in terms of culture. Their cultural contribution was indispensable to the formation of a unified dynasty and unified thinking in the Central Region.”

The Marquis of Golden Lion said, “Among all the Hundred Saints, there is a sage named Soul Saint. It can be said that he created the first path of the soul.”

“Did he create the Dao of Soul?” Li Qing was a little surprised. He had never heard of this before.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that before this, there really wasn’t any particularly famous Soul Master level character.

“That’s right, Soul Saints are the creators of the Dao of the Soul! Of course, there must have been many people who studied souls in history, but they were basically just scales and half claws. Soul Saints, on the other hand, were able to systematically summarize them and form a system of knowledge.” Marquis Golden Lion explained.

Li Qing said, “Speaking of the Dao of Soul, I remember a person, the Heavenly Demon Sectlord! Didn’t he say that he was the first person in the history of the Dao of Soul?”

“Haha, do you know what the relationship between this Soul Saint and the Heavenly Devil Sect Master is?”

“I don’t know.”

“Soul Saint is the Heavenly Demon Sect Master’s master!”

“What? There’s actually such a relationship!” Li Qing was immediately shocked. How great would the Heavenly Devil Sect Master’s master be?

“Otherwise, do you think that the Heavenly Devil Sect Master is born to be so powerful? Soul Saints are the creators of the Dao of Soul, while the Heavenly Devil Sect Master is the inheritor and synthesizer of the Dao of Soul!”

“So the two of them have the same origin. However, the Heavenly Demon Sect Master used the Corrupt path. What a pity.”

“Hmph, do you think a Soul Saint is a good thing?”

“What do you mean?”

“Not all of the Hundred Saints are Righteous path’s generation. There are also many evil characters. The Soul Saint is an existence that is both righteous and evil. The organization he founded is called the Soul Palace. He likes to capture human souls the most for research purposes, so he is despised by the world.”

“Capturing a human soul is indeed inappropriate.”

The Golden Lion Marquis said, “Master is still so evil. As a disciple of the Heavenly Devil Sect, you naturally have to carry forward this spirit and become even more evil. The predecessor of the Heavenly Devil Sect was actually the Soul Palace!”

“Then what does the God Evolution Pearl have to do with the Soul Saint?” Li Qing asked.
