Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 156: Zhu Family? Then you deserve to die!

Star Luo Empire, Royal Palace.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Dai...already knows about the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."

Looking at the Prime Minister in the audience, Xu Jiawei frowned and asked in a pretended calm tone:

"How did he say?"

"The Duke replied that this matter had a huge impact, and asked Your Majesty to suppress it as long as possible. The safety of the country is more important than anything else. As for the burial and funeral, there is no need to make a big fuss."

Hearing the Prime Minister's answer, Xu Jiawei's eyes flashed with surprise, but he still took Dai Hao's face into consideration and said some polite words:

"Oh? Duke Baihu is truly devoted to the country. With such a talented person, if he can get the support of Shrek, perhaps the fate of our Xingluo Empire is not yet determined."

But the Prime Minister still caught a glimpse of fear in his eyes. After all, the Duke of White Tiger was able to achieve such a level. Once this matter was spread, his prestige in the army would certainly be greatly enhanced.

The concept of being more successful than one's master is a term that is difficult to avoid in any country or era.

The Prime Minister's eyes flickered as he looked at Xu Jiawei and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"Since Duke Baihu has said so, we can only follow his wishes and suppress this matter as much as possible. Not many people know about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion, so we can still keep it secret for a while."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Xu Jiawei waved his hand calmly: "Okay, go ahead."

Watching the Prime Minister's back as he left, Xu Jiawei murmured in a low voice:

“What is the relationship between Dai Hao and Lin Dong? Even if he is doing this for state affairs, he should at least ask me about Lin Dong’s identity in private. But he didn’t say a word about it, which makes it hard for me not to think too much.

Never mind. The border troops cannot do without Dai Hao. Right now, the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek have not yet torn their faces apart. The situation on the mainland is turbulent. I still need this general who is good at commanding..."

The Xingluo Empire's Mingdou Mountain Range garrison.

"Marshal, His Majesty wrote back, saying that he is fully aware of the sacrifices you made for the country, and that he thanks you on behalf of the people. He also asks you to accept our condolences."

Durex opened the military tent, looked at the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, bowed, and replied in a deep voice.

Dai Hao stood up from his position, took the letter from Durex, read it, and handed it to him: "Take it and keep it."

Durex replied "yes" and slowly left the military tent. Dai Hao's eyes moved slightly and he whispered:
"I don't know what your majesty thinks, but I have tried my best..."

…………

The core area of ​​the Far North.

On the snow, a pair of white bare feet walked between heaven and earth, and the icy white toes made a squeaking sound as they stepped on the snow.

The Snow Queen was wearing a white dress, walking alone in this world of ice and snow. Her fair bare feet did not show a trace of blood.

It is like the essence of ice and snow condensed between heaven and earth, as white as a wall, dazzling and flawless.

It is a pity that such a stunning beauty is not appreciated by anyone. In the vast ice and snow empire, the Snow Queen is the only one all alone.

He exhaled lightly and couldn't help but sigh:
"I wonder how that guy's training is going. This far north is really too boring."

In this deserted snowy place, her ethereal voice sounded extremely clear.

The next moment, a hint of red suddenly appeared on her originally fair and pretty face. Why did he come?
"Xuedi, I finally found you. The core circle of the Far North is really not easy to find."

Looking at the young man in front of me with wisps of hot air coming out of his mouth and a smile on his face.

Xue Di subconsciously put her bare feet under her white skirt, curled her toes, and said with a blush:
"How did you come?"

Lin Dong naturally didn't notice the changes in Xue Di. He pulled out the tightly wrapped auspicious beast from behind and laughed softly:
"I want you to do me a favor."

The auspicious beast looked at the Snow Emperor with suspicion, and a clear female voice resounded throughout the world:
"Why is your face so red? Are you afraid of the cold?"

Xue Di blushed a little and rolled her eyes at her:
"Why did you come to the Far North instead of staying in the Star Dou Great Forest? Do you want to get beaten?"

After hearing this, the auspicious beast shrank its neck back, looked at Lin Dong, sniffed, and said coquettishly:

"See, I told you she's fierce, and she does this to you!"

"you!."

Xue Di's cheeks flushed, and she pretended to grab the clothes of the auspicious beast by the back of its neck, with a hint of embarrassment in her tone:
"I think you're here to get beaten."

Lin Dong looked at the scene in front of him, smiled silently, and clapped his hands:

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."

After hearing his words, Xue Di put the auspicious beast down, blinked her icy white eyes, and looked at Lin Dong, waiting for him to speak.

The auspicious beast's lively golden eyes turned, glanced at her, and pursed its lips to smile.

After seeing Lin Dong's warning look, he stopped smiling, straightened his chest and acted serious.

Lin Dong shook his head helplessly and looked at Xue Di with a serious expression:
"I found the whereabouts of an ancestral talisman, but the opponent's strength is a bit outrageous. I would like to ask you to come with me."

Hearing his words, Xue Di spoke without any hesitation:
"Okay, I'll go with you."

The auspicious beast blinked its big eyes. How could it change so quickly?
"Your opponent is the Beast God Di Tian. Did you decide without even thinking about it?"

Hearing his words, Xue Di was startled at first, then said calmly:
"What else can I do? No matter who my opponent is, I won't let you die."

As she spoke, her cheeks turned red and she bit her thin lips with her pearly teeth. After struggling for a moment, she stretched out her slender white jade fingers and poked Lin Dong's steaming chest.

Lin Dong was stunned. What was this for?
Xue Di's cheeks, which were originally only slightly red, suddenly turned red, and she explained with a trembling voice:

"Don't forget the inner armor I gave you. If you die, I will suffer a lot of backlash."

Lin Dong's gaze lingered on her ruddy face for a moment. After a while, under Xue Di's nervous gaze, Lin Dong smiled and spoke:
"That's true. Thank you for coming with me. I owe you a favor."

Xue Di pretended to be calm and turned his head away, nodded silently, and bit his silver teeth in annoyance.
What's wrong with me? How could I do such a thing when I was so excited?
In Lin Dong’s spiritual sea, Tian Meng laughed strangely:
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the overlord of the Far North would blush because of being afraid of the cold. It's really strange."

The Ice Emperor looked through Lin Dong's body and glanced at the Snow Emperor with complicated eyes. He dispersed Tian Meng's spirit body and went back to make up for it:
“What’s wrong? It could be that Lin Dong and the auspicious beast’s aura is too hot. There’s nothing strange about blushing!”

Lin Dong didn't think much about it and flicked the head of the laughing auspicious beast:
"What are you laughing at? Think carefully about how to explain this to Di Tian. This is the secret of the ancestral talisman.

You really don't know the seriousness of the matter, you have to think of a better way to make Di Tian not know that it was you who told me."

The auspicious beast nodded, not quite understanding, and couldn't help but hold his head, saying in a confused tone:
"Di Tian won't blame me. I don't know how to tell him."

Lin Dong glanced at her and knew that it was impossible to ask this girl to think.

Lin Dong hesitated for a moment, looked at the two women and said softly:

"Let's think about it as we go. Di Tian will forcibly break the seal of the ancestral talisman in three days. We don't have that much time to waste."

"it is good."

The two girls responded softly, and Lin Dong suddenly whispered beside Xue Di:

"If we were in the Far North, would you still be able to rival Emperor Tian?"

Xue Di was a little confused after hearing this: "Although this is true in theory, why are you asking this? We are going to the Xingdou Great Forest, not to let Di Tian come to the Far North."

Lin Dong got a positive answer and looked at her with a mysterious grin:
"Although we cannot let Emperor Tian come to the Far North, we can take the Far North with us to find Emperor Tian."

Seeing the smile on Lin Dong's face, Xue Di became even more confused. Walking to the far north? What does that mean?
But she naturally had absolute trust in Lin Dong, so she didn't say anything more and quietly followed Lin Dong who was flying in front.

In order to avoid attracting attention, Lin Dong and the other two used simulated soul skills to cross the entire Tianhun Empire.

When passing by Shrek Academy, Lin Dong's eyes flickered with a wave, and he couldn't help but think to himself:

If that old dog Xuanzi was still alive, he would probably be a Limit Douluo. Now is not the time to look for him...

The three of them walked all the way to the Xingdou Great Forest. Lin Dong and the other two put away their flying soul guides, and Xue Di followed them and slowly landed on the ground. In order to make Di Tian less alert, Lin Dong and the other two pretended to be a lucky beast bringing them here as guests, although Xue Di could not hide her identity in front of Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King.

But he could always get away with it by using the friendship approach. As for how they felt about whether Lin Dong was qualified to have a friend like Xue Di, that was their business.

The three of them walked along the outer perimeter of the Xingdou Great Forest, heading inside. Suddenly, Lin Dong raised his eyebrows, and Xue Di also looked ahead and said softly:
"There seems to be someone ahead, should we go around?"

Lin Dong shook his head: "Forget it, let's just go."

Xue Di nodded and continued to follow Lin Dong. The auspicious beast puffed up its lips and followed.

Not long after Lin Dong and his companions started walking, they saw several camps ahead. They looked like a private soul hunting group.

There are about a dozen people in the camp, including two Soul Emperors. If they were in the civilian world, they would be considered a powerful mercenary group.

Judging from their situation, it seems that they have already hunted the soul beasts and are preparing to rest for a while before going back.

Seeing Lin Dong and the other two suddenly appear, everyone in the camp had a hint of surprise in their eyes.

The Star Dou Great Forest is not a place suitable for lovers to have a tryst. If you are not careful, you will become food for soul beasts. How dare this young man with a resolute face bring two women here?

The two middle-aged men in charge of guarding outside the camp looked at Lin Dong with some surprise, but they still observed the situation of the three people vigilantly.

One of the middle-aged men, who looked simple and honest, forced a smile:

"We may be leaving soon, so we can't entertain you three. Sorry."

Lin Dong looked at the two of them calmly and bowed: "We are just passing by, don't worry."

Lin Dong didn't think much about his polite words. He nodded and said it was okay, then prepared to leave.

The two middle-aged men looked at the direction the three people left. Isn't that the route to the depths of the Xingdou Great Forest? !

Could it be that the three of them were going to venture into the depths of the Xingdou Great Forest alone? Could it be that they were desperate and wanted to save their lives? !

The middle-aged man who had just been watching Lin Dong and the others talking, looked at the back of the auspicious beast, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and spoke:
"Hey, little brother."

Lin Dong paused after hearing this, turned around and looked at him and asked:
"What's up, uncle?"

"It's very dangerous in there, so don't go in."

Seeing the middle-aged man's slightly anxious expression, Lin Dong was startled at first, then he smiled faintly:
"Uncle, thank you for reminding us, but we have something to do inside, so please don't bother with us."

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then threw something similar to a medicine jar towards the three people:

"Here, take it. The powder in here can help drive away soul beasts. It might be of some use at a critical moment."

"Old Wei, are you really crazy? You gave them such precious medicine powder?"

The middle-aged man called Lao Wei scratched his head and smiled innocently:
"That little girl looks a bit like my daughter. We are going back soon anyway, so why not just match them up again? They are still very young, and it would be too unfair if they died in the soul beast's stomach."

Another guard curled his lips and said with some disdain:
"I think you have too much money to spend. You work so hard to earn only two bottles, and you gave one away."

The uncle called Lao Wei did not refute his words. He just chuckled and looked at the auspicious beast with a kind look.

Looking at the simple smile on his face, Lin Dong thanked him and patted the auspicious beast on the head:
"Why don't you say thank you to the uncle?"

The auspicious beast nodded in cooperation and smiled sweetly at Lao Wei: "Thank you, uncle."

The uncle's smile became even happier, and he waved his hand at the three of them:

"Be careful, and don't play for too long, or your parents will be worried."

"Thank you, uncle."

Lin Dong grinned, looked at him and clasped his fists in reply.

Kindness from strangers always warms people's hearts, and a strange ripple also appears in the eyes of the auspicious beast.

She could see pure kindness in the uncle's eyes. Is this what humans call fatherly love?

When the three were about to head towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, a young man with a pale face and a weak constitution appeared in the camp.

Looking at the back of Xue Di, he licked his lips, his eyes flashed with passion, and whispered to the scarred man with Soul Emperor strength beside him:
"I am quite interested in the two women following that boy. If you can capture them, I can double the reward I promised you this time."

The middle-aged man with a scarred face and a bandit-like look chuckled and said, "This Master Zhu is a son of the Zhu family of the Xingluo Empire."

His mother has a cousin-like relationship with the Duchess of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

He is the famous White Tiger Duke of the Xingluo Empire. As long as they can hold on to this strong support, their Tiger Head Soul Hunting Group will surely be able to sail smoothly in the future.

Thinking of this, Scarface's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he looked at Lin Dong and his group. You can only blame yourself, kid for your bad luck!
A trace of cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he shouted coldly at Lin Dong and the others who were about to leave:
"Hey, kid, if you know what's best for you, send those two girls over here. Our Master Zhu might even spare your life if he's in a good mood.

Otherwise, hehe, this Star Forest is a remote place, and no one would care even if you die."

Hearing what he said, Lin Dong turned around and grinned, revealing his white teeth: "Are you talking to me?"

Scarface was frightened when he saw Lin Dong's murderous look. Why did this kid's smile look so creepy?
But noticing the sight of Master Zhu behind him, Scarface shouted angrily:
"Nonsense, are you pretending to be stupid in front of me? Come here! Kill this guy for me! Leave those two women alive!"

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so people scattered around the camp quickly formed a battle formation and were about to surround Lin Dong and the other two.

The uncle who just handed Lin Dong the medicine bottle suddenly looked at Scarface and said with a smile:
"Master Tiger, let's just forget it. They are just children. We will be punished for doing this."

"Go to hell with you! You have a daughter but I don't. If you don't want to die, get out of here. If it weren't for your useful auxiliary spirit skills, I would have killed you with a knife long ago!"

A trace of ferocity flashed across Scarface's face, and he looked at Lao Wei and cursed angrily, saying that all they did was lick blood on the tip of a knife and roll in a pile of dead bodies.

If Wei Cheng's auxiliary soul skills were not useful, he would not have brought him with him on this operation!
After all, he had to support a soul hunting team, and the expenses were no joke.

Thinking of this, Scarface's face showed a cold light, he glanced at Lao Wei, and thought to himself:

Now that the mission has been completed, this old guy not only wants to get a piece of the pie, but also dares to stop me. Since I'm going to do it, I might as well kill them all!

Scarface made up his mind quickly. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. His soul power surged. The tip of the knife flashed with a cold light, and he stabbed directly at Uncle Wei.

Old Wei's face changed. He was just a level 40 Soul Master from the auxiliary system. There was no possibility of survival when he was caught in close combat by a Soul Emperor!

Knowing that he was doomed, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He hugged Scarface's thigh and said loudly to Lin Dong and the others:
"Run!"

After saying this, he loosened his grip, closed his eyes as if he had given up, and waited dejectedly for death to come.

But the expected pain did not come. Wei Cheng slowly opened his eyes, and what came into his sight was Lin Dong’s warm smile.

"Uncle, leave it to me."

Wei Cheng looked at the scene in front of him with astonishment:
Lin Dong crushed the scarred man's sword with one hand and grabbed his throat with the other. The latter's feet were off the ground, his eyes turned pale, as if he was about to die.

Wei Cheng was shocked: When did he make the move? And the speed was so fast!

He was able to save me before Tang Dao could make a move. It seems that I was just being too sentimental...

Scarface's throat was pinched by Lin Dong, and he could hardly breathe. He looked at his companions who were all frozen into ice sculptures.

Only then did he realize what a formidable opponent he had provoked. The girl with the cold face didn't even take action.

His companions were frozen into ice, even including the Soul Emperor whom he had recruited at a huge price!

Scarface was facing the threat of death. A trace of horror appeared on his face. He looked at Lin Dong with a trembling and hoarse voice:
"Please... please forgive me. I'm willing to do anything. I... I'll help you kill Master Zhu. How about that? As long as you're willing to let me go, I'll do anything!"

Lin Dong's eyes were cold as he watched him smile. That seemingly harmless smile looked as terrifying as a demon in the eyes of Scarface.

The next moment, Lin Dong’s cold words made him feel as if he was falling into an ice cellar. Fear instantly rushed from his feet to his head:
"Isn't that what you said? In this Star Forest, no one will care even if you die."

As his pupils widened with despair, the smile on Lin Dong’s face gradually turned cold, and the vitality in his body was also disappearing...
