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.

"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 speaking, 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 rank empire like your Yun Ming Empire to produce a high quality Soul Essence, let alone a Earth Soul. I think that it was because you do not know the appearance of a Earth Soul that you treated the Earth Soul as a useless soul and a treasure. 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 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.
