Sensing the change in Han Xiao's aura, Han Xiangtian's pupils shrank. Before he could say anything, he saw Han Xiao jump in front of Han Zhao like a gust of wind, his right hand formed a fist and punched towards Han Zhao's chest.

Seeing Han Xiao's actions, Han Zhao's right hand clenched into a fist and directly collided with Han Xiao's fist. The next moment, Han Zhao felt as if his fist had hit a giant rock.

"Haaargh!" Han Xiao shouted loudly, and the Qi on his body immediately rose to the early Soul Condensation stage, and the strength of his fist also reached the strength of twenty thousand. Han Xiao shouted loudly, and the aura of his body directly rose to the early Soul Condensation stage, and the strength of his fist reached the strength of twenty thousand, and even if he were to slightly wave his fist, Han Xiao could feel a chill in front of him.

"Hmph." Han Zhao gave a muffled grunt as a trace of viciousness flashed across his eyes, raising his entire body to its peak state as he directly punched Han Xiao's fist. However, he didn't expect Han Xiao's fist to suddenly bend in the air, and as his fist changed direction, it slightly penetrated his body. His fist, which was half a meter away from Han Zhao, landed heavily on Han Zhao's chest, while Han Zhao's fist was cleverly dodged by Han Xiao.

"Bam." Han Zhao felt as if his chest had been hit by a huge rock. Although he didn't look closely, he knew that his internal organs were damaged. While he was curious about Han Xiao's strength, he was also a bit scared.

"Tap, tap, tap." Han Xiao took a few big steps forward, and the ground that he stepped on started to crack like a spider web. Han Zhao felt that the ground he stood on was shaking like an earthquake.

Han Xiao's left hand slightly bent, while his right hand came together. Han Xiao's hand grabbed and slapped directly towards Han Zhao, and although his boundless strength was the simplest method of fighting, this simple method of fighting became an extremely powerful martial skill in Han Zhao's eyes. He also didn't dare to face Han Xiao head on again.

His left hand directly grabbed Han Zhao's collar, while his right hand bent slightly, like a curved blade, and directly struck Han Zhao's abdomen. Although Han Xiao only used brute force, he was able to directly shatter a huge rock weighing over five hundred jin, and now, a similarly even stronger force also landed on Han Zhao's body. Han Zhao only felt that his internal organs had been completely shattered by this palm, and a few of his ribs had also been broken.

"Pfft." Han Zhao spat out a mouthful of blood. Within the blood, there were pieces of blood clots, which made Han Zhao's gaze turn cold.

Seeing Han Zhao spitting blood, Han Xiao flew up and kicked Han Zhao, sending him flying five meters away. Because Han Zhao had suffered heavy injuries in succession, he didn't even have the strength to stand up, and could only lie on the ground and look at Han Xiao with hatred in his eyes. Ever since he was born, he had never been in such a sorry state.

Seeing the hatred in Han Zhao's eyes, Han Xiao's eyes turned colder. With a few steps forward, he directly aimed a palm at Han Zhao's head.

"Bang." Han Xiao saw Han Xiangtian's sudden appearance in front of Han Zhao, and his eyes turned cold. He felt the pain coming from his wrist and knew that he was no match for Han Xiangtian. With a cold glance, Han Zhao turned around and walked out of the hall.

"Han Xiao, is this how you treat your own father?" Seeing Han Xiao's ice-cold expression, Han Xiangyang anxiously shouted.

"Imperial Father, this cripple Han Xiao must have cultivated the Devil Sect's Soul Stealing Technique in order to injure the Third Imperial Brother when the Third Imperial Brother wasn't paying attention. Imperial Father, please kill Han Xiao for me!" Before the Fifth Prince Han Yu could finish his sentence, he felt a blue figure appear in front of him.

"Enough, Han Xiao, I think you are really rebelling." Seeing Han Xiao injure another prince in front of him, a trace of killing intent flashed across Han Xiangtian's eyes. He bent his hand and grabbed at Han Xiao's neck.

"Pa!" Han Xiangtian's hand was tightly gripped by Gu Xuan'er. Sensing the anger in Gu Xuan'er's eyes and aura that was not weaker than his own, Han Xiangtian's heart shivered as he pulled back his hand in dissatisfaction. "Miss Gu, I want to teach my unfilial son a lesson. Please do not disturb me, Miss Gu."

"Unfilial son? Since Han Xiao is your son, why didn't I see Han Xiao at today's banquet, and was also the prince himself, why is Han Xiao dressed worse than the imperial palace's guards? " Gu Xuan'er unrestrainedly asked as she faced Han Xiangtian.

Hearing Gu Xuan'er's words, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across Han Xiangtian's face. "Because Han Xiao caused the death of his own mother at birth, and he is also my empress. Furthermore, he is a cripple with no possibility of cultivating."

"Trash?" Gu Xuan'er let out a cold laugh. Just now, the aura and strength of an early stage Soul Ning on Han Xiao's body, as well as the movements of the Lingyun Bead on her body, were enough to prove that Han Xiao was not a broken soul but one of the most respected immortal souls in this world. Unfortunately, the people of the Cloud Ming Empire were unable to see the pearl as a useless treasure.

"How laughable. If even the first grade immortal soul's earth spirit is a cripple, then wouldn't there be no immortal soul in this world?" Gu Xuan'er sneered.

"Earth Soul? "How could that be? Back then, when we were still testing." Hearing Gu Xuan'er's words, Han Xiangtian's pupils shrunk as he said in disbelief.

It is not easy for a middle-ranked empire like the Yun Ming Empire to produce a high-grade Soul Essence, let alone a Earth Soul." It is not easy for a mid-ranked empire like the Yun Ming Empire to produce a high-grade Soul Essence, let alone a Earth Soul. The corner of Gu Xuan'er's mouth curled up in ridicule as she spoke.

Seeing Gu Xuan'er's certain appearance, and also thinking about how his aura had already reached the initial stage of Soul Ning, Han Xiangtian's expression slowly changed. Although the Yun Ming Empire had never stepped out of the earth's soul before, he had read about it in the books and understood how powerful the earth's soul was. With the help of the earth's soul, Han Xiao could almost see the rise of the Yun Ming Empire in front of him.

Sensing the change in Han Xiangtian's expression, Han Xiao felt nauseous in his heart. Just a second ago, he had been wishing he could kill him, and now, he was looking at him with such a gentle and kind expression. If it wasn't for the fact that Han Xiangtian's strength was still insufficient, he would have gone up and dug out Han Xiangtian's eyes and destroyed his false face.

"Congratulations to my Imperial Majesty, you are extremely happy." Wei Qinggrong stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations to my Imperial Majesty, you are extremely happy." A few ministers standing by the side hurried forward to congratulate them.

Hearing the congratulation from Wei Qinggrong and the ministers in the hall, Han Xiangtian's expression also softened. He looked at Han Xiao and said, "Xiao'er, father misunderstood you today, and you're tired too. Go back and rest first. Father will definitely arrest your murderer."

Hearing Han Xiangtian's gentle words, Han Xiao felt even more disgusted. The one who framed him was clearly Han Zhao, and Han Xiangtian clearly wanted to protect Han Zhao right now, but it didn't matter. He had a lot of time to let Han Zhao know the consequences of offending him.

Han Xiao turned around and walked out of the main hall after giving Han Xiangtian a nonchalant look. He was no longer in the mood to play around with Han Xiangtian.

Seeing Han Xiao leave, Gu Xuan'er also chased Han Xiao out of the main hall. As for Han Xiangtian's feelings, she didn't care at all.

After exiting the Main Hall, Han Xiao walked towards the back garden. Today, too many things had happened, and the fact that he had revealed his Earth Soul and early stage Soul Ning had made it impossible for him to continue being an invisible person within the Imperial Palace, as he continued walking, Han Xiao suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him. When he turned around, he saw that Gu Xuan'er had actually followed him out of the Main Hall.

"How do you know?" The moment Gu Xuan'er finished speaking, she realized that she was looking at Han Xiao with a bit more vigilance.

"When you helped me block Han Xiangtian's attack just now, I felt an aura similar to that of the Earth Soul inside my body." Han Xiao said indifferently.

"It seems that you are not as useless as you said you were. I am indeed the soul of the heavens. I have come to find you to challenge you." Gu Xuan'er puffed out her chest as she spoke.

"Send the written challenge?" He could not figure out why Gu Xuan'er wanted to send him a written challenge.

"Yes, you should know that the Soul of Heaven and Earth is the highest grade of the celestial soul in the world, one out of ten thousand, two out of hundred million. Last time, a senior of my Gu family lost to the Earth Soul, that became his lifetime's regret, so the purpose of the written challenge was to give you a challenge so that you and I can have a duel in the future when we have equal cultivation levels. I want to prove that the celestial soul is stronger than the Soul of the Earth." Gu Xuan'er seriously looked at Han Xiao as she spoke.

Seeing Gu Xuan'er's serious look, Han Xiao felt that he could not find any reason to reject. The corner of his mouth hooked up into a gentle smile as he said: "Alright, I agree."

"Since you've agreed, then you can't be lazy like this. I have a Martial Technique book for you to take a look at. I don't want to be so weak when I see you again. Let me wait forever." As she spoke, Gu Xuan'er took out a blue cover book from her storage ring and stuffed it into Han Xiao's hands.

Feeling Gu Xuan'er's concern for Han Xiao, he reached out his hand and wrapped his arm around Gu Xuan'er's waist. Lowering his head, under Gu Xuan'er's astonished gaze, he lightly kissed Gu Xuan'er's red lips, but only lightly tapped on and let go of Gu Xuan'er.

"Miss Gu, I appreciate your good intentions, but I have my own pride. So, please keep this Martial Skill for me." After Han Xiao gently placed the martial skill back into Gu Xuan'er's hands, the corner of his mouth once again hooked up into a gentle smile as he lightly caressed Gu Xuan'er's red lips and whispered into her ear: "As for this kiss, you owe me. You can return it to me when we meet again in the future." With that, Han Xiao immediately turned around and left. The gentleness on the corner of his mouth also slowly faded away, returning back to the icy coldness in front of Han Xiangtian.

Only when Han Xiao's figure had completely disappeared did Gu Xuan'er come back to her senses and recall Han Xiao's words and the touch of his lips. Her face flushed red, she stomped her feet and ran in the opposite direction from Han Xiao.
