Douluo Reborn: The Silver Dragon Returns, but Regrets End

Chapter 228 Negotiation
The story of all this can be traced back to the battle for a crucial position between the Star Luo Empire and the Green Skull Organization half a year ago.

It was a mountain range with a dangerous terrain. The battle between the two sides was at its peak. The soul-guided shells streaked across the sky like meteors. Their power was so great that they flattened the towering mountain peaks. In the cruel picture of modern warfare, such scenes were not surprising. The powerful power of various advanced weapons should not be underestimated.

However, in this smoke-filled mountain range, the soldiers of the Xingluo Empire accidentally discovered a mysterious stone carving of a phoenix.

The carving was lifelike, as if it contained infinite treasures. Unfortunately, before they could take a closer look, the carving shattered. The broken stone debris instantly turned into countless nine-color light spots, flashing in the air like bright stars. Then, these light spots quickly gathered together and formed a nine-color phoenix shadow.

The nine-colored phoenix shadow exuded a mysterious and powerful aura, as if an ancient god had descended to the earth.

The soldiers of the Xing Luo Empire were stunned by this sudden scene. For a moment, the noise on the battlefield seemed to be drowned out by this shocking scene.

At the same time, the Green Skull resistance organization on the other side also discovered this magical scene. They knew that the phoenix shadow must be an extraordinary thing, so the two sides launched a fierce battle for this mountain. The war was raging, the smoke was filled, and the soldiers on both sides tried their best.

In the end, it was the Star Luo Empire that managed to repel the Green Skull Organization's attack with its slight advantage.

But at this time, the nine-colored phoenix shadow had disappeared, leaving only a pair of nine-colored wings in its place.

After the Xingluo Empire obtained this pair of nine-color phoenix wings, after careful confirmation, it was undoubtedly a divine artifact.

Artifacts, in this world, are enough to drive all the major powers crazy. It represents powerful strength and endless possibilities, and can be used as a reserve of the bottom line of a power. However, after many attempts, the Xingluo Empire has not been able to find the use of the Phoenix Wings. Perhaps it can be said that no one among them is qualified to use this artifact.

Later, the news spread like wildfire. After the Beast King Palace learned the news, it immediately sent people to negotiate with the Xingluo Empire. The Beast King Palace was extremely eager for this artifact, and had negotiated with the Xingluo Empire on soul communication many times, and had reached a preliminary agreement. Therefore, this time, Lin Xiuran was sent to conduct further negotiations.

Lin Xiuran soon arrived at the gate of the Xingluo Empire's palace. After all, this was the Xingluo palace, and the guards at the gate were all strong. They were dressed in fine armor, holding sharp weapons, and their eyes revealed firm beliefs and fearless courage. Lin Xiuran just observed for a while and saw two figures in front of him. They were the people from the Xingluo Empire who came to meet him this time.

Coincidentally, Lin Xiuran could call out the names of these two people. One of the bald strong men was the Mountain Dragon King Long Yue. He was burly and muscular, standing there like an iron tower. The bald head shone in the sunlight, adding a bit of majesty. The other ordinary-looking girl was Xu Mier from the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. Although she looked ordinary, her eyes revealed a kind of determination and intelligence.

It has been about a year since the Poseidon Fate. Long Yue ended his one-year exchange student career and was going back to Xingluo Continent. Xu Mier also happened to go there with him to take a look, which was equivalent to seeing his family. After all, the two were already together. However, no one expected that when they left, they ushered in the destruction of Shrek Academy. As a student of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, how could Xu Mier not be moved? Faced with this sudden disaster, she broke down several times. But she also understood that no matter how painful she was, she could not change this cruel ending. She wanted to return to Douluo Continent and Shrek City countless times. But in the end, she was stopped by Long Yue. After all, if the current Shrek Academy students appeared in Douluo Continent, they would be very likely to be attacked again by the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church. Reason told her that the current situation of Shrek Academy was very critical. What she could do now was to do everything she could to contact the graduates of Shrek Academy and the students who were not in Shrek Academy at the time and survived, that is, those inner courtyard students who happened to be out. Only by accumulating strength and uniting all the forces that can be united can Shrek Academy be rebuilt. Therefore, she has stayed in Xingluo Continent. Originally, now that the situation in Douluo Continent is stable, she was also ready to go back. However, she met Lin Xiuran during the reception with Long Yue today.

"Here." Long Yue waved. After all, he and Lin Xiuran had met before, so they were responsible for the reception this time. Lin Xiuran nodded gently to signal the two of them, without saying much. Xu Mier wanted to say something but stopped herself, but in the end she just looked at Lin Xiuran with a complicated look. She knew some inside information about the Sea God Fate back then, so it was difficult for her to talk to Lin Xiuran today. There is no doubt that Long Yeyue's decision was ridiculously wrong. If Lin Xiuran was still a student of Shrek Academy today, perhaps with the relationship of Shouguang Store, all matters such as the reconstruction of Shrek Academy would be easy. Of course, there is no if. After all, if he was still a student of Shrek Academy, he might have died in that disaster.

Xu Mier did not enter the Xingluo Palace with Long Yue and Lin Xiuran. After all, this is the palace, and you can't just enter casually.

"Brother Lin, don't be so reserved. You are our distinguished guest of Xingluo, so let us show our hospitality." Long Yue smiled heartily and seemed very happy about Lin Xiuran's arrival.

He himself is a strong man, and the strong always admire the stronger. He has a good impression of Lin Xiuran, and the fact that Lin Xiuran is stronger than him is also the strength he is most proud of.

Therefore, based on this point alone, Long Yue was very impressed by Lin Xiuran.

Lin Xiuran nodded calmly: "I'm not that shy."

They walked through the long corridor and passed several long halls, and finally arrived at the main hall of the Xingluo Palace.

This is usually where the emperor receives foreign guests and discusses national affairs with his ministers.

Long Yue brought Lin Xiuran into the main hall, only to see the Xingluo Emperor sitting on the throne with deep and majestic eyes.

The emperor nodded slightly and motioned for the two to come forward.

Long Yue saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Xiuran, the envoy from the Beast King Palace, has arrived."
