Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 524

"Leave this to me. I will make sure Mo Shang understands who is truly supporting him."

The Three Venerables nodded slightly upon hearing this.

In truth, given his strength, he didn't care whether Mo Shang was respectful to him or not. After all, no matter what level Mo Shang's strength reached, he could easily suppress him.

His confidence stems from his abilities.

With his semi-saint level strength, few in the Soul Palace could surpass him.

Skipping over the topic of Mo Shang, the Three Venerables then discussed the details of their attack on the Starfall Pavilion with the two of them.

After all, his purpose in this battle was not only to capture Yao Lao and eliminate Xiao Fan, but also to demonstrate the power of the Soul Palace.

He wanted to make an example of someone to warn others, to show other forces that there was only one outcome for provoking the Soul Palace.

Kill without mercy!

The three then added some details to the battle of Starfall Pavilion.

After a long while, the decision on the attack on Xingyun Pavilion in the Pearl River was finally made.

Now, the remaining experts from the Soul Palace have arrived one after another, and they have finalized the time for attacking the Starfall Pavilion.

"Eliminate the Starfall Pavilion in three days!"

.......................

While the Three Venerables and the others set their departure time, Mo Shang waited silently outside.

After all, the Three Venerables had said before that he should keep him by his side during this period.

However, the Three Venerables and others were discussing important matters at the moment, so even Mo Shang did not dare to take this opportunity to get close.

At that moment, he looked up and saw the Eight Heavenly Venerables flying out of the hall.

The Eighth Heavenly Venerable's gaze fell upon Mo Shang, who was waiting in the distance.

Seeing Mo Shang standing straight, but immediately straightening up upon seeing him, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable's smile grew even more satisfied. He turned and appeared in front of Mo Shang.

"Greetings, Lord Eight Heavenly Venerables!"

Mo Shang looked at the Eight Heavenly Venerables who had landed in front of him, feeling puzzled, but he did not show it. He respectfully bowed to the Eight Heavenly Venerables, his tone firm and powerful.

"Not bad!"

The Eighth Heavenly Venerable looked at Mo Shang carefully, then reached out and patted Mo Shang's shoulder.

His tone was full of joy.

"Mo Shang, let me ask you, if I gave you enough resources, could you break through to the two-star Dou Zun within three days?"

"Um!?"

Mo Shang listened to the words of the Eight Heavenly Venerables and a hint of doubt flashed through his mind.

Even though he usually hid it well, a hint of doubt flashed across his face, but fortunately, it wasn't revealed too much under the cover of his black mask.

However, his doubts were clearly sensed by the Eight Heavenly Venerables before him.

"hehe......"

Sensing Mo Shang's confusion, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable chuckled softly and then spoke:

"The Three Venerables just invited us in. Do you know what they were discussing?"

"Could it be... related to the kid?"

Hearing the words of the Eighth Heavenly Venerable, Mo Shang's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't believe that he, who had just broken through to the Dou Zun realm, could possibly catch the eye of a semi-saint powerhouse like the Three Heavens Venerable.

To his surprise, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable actually nodded.

"That's right!"

The Eighth Heavenly Venerable nodded slightly, looking at Mo Shang with admiration in his eyes.

Even though he climbed his way up from the bottom of the Soul Hall to his current position, he didn't know how much time and experience he had accumulated.

Looking back, Mo Shang has only been in the Soul Palace for a few short years, from joining the Soul Palace to securing his current position as the Lord of the Senluo Palace.

With a sigh, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable looked at Mo Shang as if he were looking at his own junior, and began to instruct him:

"You've been quite envious of the Three Heavenly Venerables lately! The reason the Three Heavenly Venerables summoned us just now is to promote you!"

"this......."

Mo Shang listened to the Eighth Heavenly Venerable's words with a look of confusion on his face, and even in his heart he was a little dumbfounded.

This time, it wasn't that he was deliberately creating a diversion; he genuinely didn't understand what the Three Venerables had taken a liking to him for.

After all, I haven't done anything earth-shattering during the time I've been by his side, have I?

The Eight Heavenly Venerables looked at Mo Shang, who stood there dumbfounded, and shook their heads. They sighed inwardly.

"He's still a bit young and not very shrewd."

Gently patting Mo Shang's shoulder, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable continued speaking only after seeing that he had come to his senses:

"However, you also understand the situation in the Soul Hall. The Soul Hall respects strength above all else. Whether it's background or talent, these are all empty words."

"If you are not strong enough, even if the Three Venerables value you, you can't do anything about it. You can't force the Three Venerables to violate the principles of the Soul Palace."

"I understand, kid!"

Mo Shang nodded; he could only understand what the Eight Heavenly Venerables meant.

In the Imperial Soul Hall, where strength reigns supreme, if you can't even protect what you've already acquired, then if someone else steals it from you, even if it's a powerful figure behind you, they won't say much.

"It seems you understand. After all, you've been making quite a splash in the Soul Palace lately, and you were just promoted to Lord of the Senluo Palace."

"So even if the Three Venerables wanted to make some special arrangements for you this time, they wouldn't be able to convince the public."

Upon hearing this, Mo Shang narrowed his eyes slightly. His gaze fell on the Eight Heavenly Venerables, and he cautiously inquired:

"Then, sir, do you mean...?"

"Perform well in this battle of the Starfall Pavilion. If you can make contributions, even if the Three Heavenly Venerables break down and reward you, no one else will be able to find fault with it."

The Eight Heavenly Venerables looked at Mo Shang with a hint of encouragement in their eyes:

"Three days later, the Soul Palace army will assemble and head to the Starfall Pavilion."

During this period, I will be in charge of managing the resources within this hall. As long as you can break through to the second-star Dou Zun level, then everything will naturally be possible…”

"Yes!"

Upon hearing the Eighth Heavenly Venerable's words, Mo Shang agreed without hesitation, his eyes revealing a cold glint.

Seeing Mo Shang's reaction, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable nodded to himself, then took out a pitch-black token from his storage ring, on which was written the character "八" (eight).

This token represents the Eighth Heavenly Venerable. With his status, mobilizing the resources within this palace would be effortless for him.

"Alright, you'd better hurry up these next two days. I hope you can achieve a good result."

After the Eighth Heavenly Venerable finished speaking, he flew straight away into the distance, handed the token to Xiao Fan, and left everything to him.

However, the Eighth Heavenly Venerable also knew that the Dou Zun realm could not be broken through all at once. The reason he spoke to Mo Shang in this way was to encourage him.

As for whether Mo Shang would actually break through to the two-star Dou Zun realm in three days, the Eight Heavenly Venerables had no expectation whatsoever.

The Dou Zun realm isn't something you can just break through to easily.

Resources and timing are both indispensable.

The fact that the Eight Heavenly Venerables were willing to hand over their tokens to Xiao Fan and allow him to take whatever resources he wanted within the next two days was also an attempt to win him over.

After all, if you make the other person feel your kindness, things will naturally be much easier in the future.

However, the Eight Heavenly Venerable had no idea what kind of freak Mo Shang was in front of him.

When he later learned what Mo Shang had done.

Even with his wealth, he couldn't help but grimace with heartache upon hearing about the massive amount of resources Mo Shang had consumed in the past two days.

Mo Shang watched the Eight Heavenly Venerables depart into the distance. He looked down at the black jade tablet in his hand, a cold glint in his eyes.

"Three days..."

Without the slightest hesitation, after watching the Eight Heavenly Venerables leave, Mo Shang took his jade token and headed straight for the treasure vault inside the hall.

"Important territory ahead, all those who come must stop."

After a while, Mo Shang arrived in front of a heavily guarded palace.

Before he could even approach the vast surge of soul power ahead, a dark figure instantly appeared in front of Mo Shang, blocking his way.

The opponent even exuded a strong killing intent, firmly locking onto Mo Shang, and would not hesitate to attack if he made the slightest move.

“I… am acting on the orders of the Eighth Heavenly Venerable. For the time being, you may take whatever you wish from this treasure vault.”

Mo Shang handed the jet-black jade token in his hand to the Dou Zun powerhouse in front of him for inspection.

His words surprised the other person, who looked at him with some astonishment.

After carefully examining the jade tablet and the Eight Heavenly Venerables' orders and finding no discrepancies, the Soul Palace expert looked at Mo Shang with a hint of curiosity.

"The entire treasure vault contains items and resources that can be taken at will without any limit. Could this young man be the illegitimate son of the Eight Heavenly Venerables?"
