Chapter 3793: 3640
Thinking of this, Tang Xiao braced himself and said, "Since Qianjun Douluo and Jiang Long Douluo feel that the sincerity of my Hao Tian Clan is insufficient, then we'll do as you..."
It seemed that today was going to be costly; three soul bones were enough to severely injure the Hao Tian Clan!!
However, Jiang Long Douluo supplemented by saying, "Although Xu Sheng, you did refuse those three soul bones close to a hundred thousand years old!"
In an instant, the former's words were abruptly choked off...
Xu Sheng had refused three soul bones close to a hundred thousand years old?
The soul bones he was just preparing to use to express his apologies were merely just reaching ten thousand years old!
If he spoke out, wouldn't he be looked down upon?
No, for the reputation of the Hao Tian Clan, he could not do that!
"Xu Sheng, since you could even refuse three soul bones nearing a hundred thousand years old, you must not need such things as soul bones,"
"How about this, you name a reasonable condition, as long as it's not too much, our Hao Tian Clan will agree to it!"
"With this, the previous matters will be wiped clean!!"
If the other party still intended to drive a hard bargain, neither he nor the Hao Tian Sect Elders behind him could accept it!
At that time, it was highly likely to evolve into a fight!
But Xu Sheng just shook his head, "Sect Master Tang is too polite, I really have no conditions, but if possible, please manage your sect disciples below better, so that the same thing doesn't happen again!"
Afterwards, in the fight against abyssal creatures, they would need the Hao Tian Clan, so it was best not to completely offend them!
In an instant, light flashed in the eyes of the Hao Tian Sect Elders...
They had all guessed that the other party might demand an exorbitant price and had mentally prepared themselves to pay a heavy price!
Yet unexpectedly, this young man bore no grudges and made no demands at all!
Tang Xiao frowned, uncertain whether the other party's words were heartfelt or just polite, "This…"
Seemingly catching on to the former's thoughts, Xue Ye couldn't help but gently remind him, "Sect Master Tang, since Xu Sheng has said so, let's just do as he suggests!"
...
Tang Wulin awkwardly smiled, "Commander, Gu Yue is just joking; if Teacher Xu were of Ultimate Douluo level, how could he possibly have joined the Blood God Army?"
Teacher Xu had not revealed his true strength; it was better not to casually speak of it!
Gu Yue glanced at Tang Wulin and said nothing more...
Upon hearing this, Long Yuxue's expression revealed a hint of regret, "I see, I had thought Xu Sheng was really an Ultimate Douluo. If he had led us, perhaps our Special Service Department could have been converted into a Close Combat Battalion."
Then again, it made sense; an Ultimate Douluo level powerhouse would be greatly valued in any force, there was no need for them to come to this desolate and arduous place!
Tang Wulin immediately changed the subject, "Speaking of which, Commander, who is the chief of our Special Service Department, why have we never seen them?"
He and Gu Yue had been in the Special Service Department for so long and had not yet met the chief!
Long Yuxue's Beautiful Eyes dimmed slightly as she said, "The previous chief of the Special Service Department has been sacrificed, so the position has been vacant!"
"However, the officers of the Special Service Department probably regard me as their chief."
After a shake of her head, Long Yuxue clearly did not wish to continue this topic, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Before Xu Sheng returns, I'll take you two to receive your rewards for merit!"
Tang Wulin and Gu Yue were stunned for a moment, showing puzzled expressions...
Long Yuxue chuckled lightly, "Don't be surprised; thanks to you and Gu Yue leading the warriors to delay the abyssal creatures' advance, the Close Combat Battalion soldiers were able to arrive in time and establish the foundation for the entire battle's victory!"
"Especially you, Tang Wulin, you performed exceedingly well in combat, killing so many abyssal creatures, you definitely have additional rewards awaiting you!"
Tang Wulin's eyes lit up, excitedly saying, "Really? Then is there a possibility for Gu Yue and me to be directly promoted to lieutenant?"
Long Yuxue shrugged her shoulders, "Difficult! After all, the two of you have just joined not long ago, and they probably won't give out a military rank promotion reward!"
"However, you'll definitely get merit points!"
...
On the other side!
Inside the B-level Abyssal Passage!
Blood Three's gaze was fixed on the figure of Emperor Mei lying on the ground, turning into a vanishing phantom...
He exclaimed, "This Emperor Mei was indeed powerful; even with our combined efforts, it took quite some time to deal with it!"
Blood Seven nodded, gravely saying, "If its true body had been released, it's hard to imagine how formidable it would have been! In our Blood God Camp, I'm afraid only Blood One and Blood Two could battle it!"
Blood Eight pursed her thin lips, "While this Emperor Mei was strong, there are even more terrifying abyssal creatures in the abyss. In the future, our Ferocious God Legion will definitely face a fierce battle!"
Suddenly, she looked around and frowned, "Hm, have you seen that major from before?"
Blood Five shook her head, "I wasn't paying attention; he probably went back already!"
Seeing this, Blood Eight muttered to herself, "Is that so? Maybe it's just my imagination."
...
Little did they know, at that moment, Xu Sheng had already entered the deepest part of the B-level Abyssal Passage...
Staring at the entrance in front of him, like a black hole filled with pulling force, he stepped closer...
As soon as his hand touched it, the whole space spun wildly, and Xu Sheng was sucked into it...
By the time he came to his senses, he was already at the entrance of the abyss...
Looking up, he saw a world engulfed in darkness, constantly emitting a violent, destructive aura...
Just a brief sensing revealed that the space around him was teeming with hundreds, if not thousands, of abyssal creatures...
They were constantly killing each other, devouring their opponent's energy to evolve themselves...
Since Xu Sheng had not hidden his aura, abyssal creatures kept swarming towards him from all sides, surrounding him in the middle...
However, he showed no sign of panic, calmly releasing his Martial Soul, Netherworld Ghostvine!
With a move of his heart, the ground immediately sprouted thick vines, dozens of meters around, emanating grey flames, and lashed out towards the abyssal creatures...
Those abyssal creatures that were bound were ignited by the Netherworld Ghost Fire and kept emitting miserable screams...
After ten-odd seconds, they were completely reduced to ash, leaving not a trace...
Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow, pondering, "Is this all there is? It seems the abyss also has its outer and core areas!"
The Emperor Mei he had encountered before must be one of the powerful beings from the core area!
At that moment, Blood Eight's voice came from behind...
"Major, you really went into the abyss alone!"
Xu Sheng looked over, surprised, "Blood Eight? How come you're here too?"
...
