Douluo: Lin Dong Travels Through Huo Yuhao

Chapter 96: The White Tiger Duke Who Treats Trash as Treasure

Lin Dong crushed the token with an indifferent look, wiped the blood on his hands on the corpse, and whispered softly:
"It seems that I have been recognized. I just don't know how many guards your so-called Zhu family has. They have been sent to arrest me. I hope there will be more of them, so I don't have to look for them anymore."

Since parting with Xue Di, he walked out of Tiandou City all the way, directly used the flying soul guide, crossed the coast and arrived in Mingdu.

Unexpectedly, by chance, I ran into these guys who were wanted for me. It was a good opportunity to test the effect of the elixir and found that he really had the physical strength of a level 63 Soul Emperor.

Before their probing attacks could cause any damage, Lin Dong killed four of them with thunderous means. Only the level 58 strong attack soul king was not killed by a single punch.

The others could hardly withstand a single punch. Although they relied on their numbers and did not use their full strength, it was enough to show his current physical strength.

Originally, he had kept the last Soul King to ask if there were any other souls, but looking at the situation, there was a high probability that he would not be able to get anything out of him. It seemed that the Zhu family still had some strength.

The loyalty of the guards is remarkable. I was originally planning to go back to the academy, but now I have something to play with...

However, I don’t know if there are any Soul Sages or Soul Douluos among the guards. They probably don’t dare or are reluctant to send a Titled Douluo.

As Lin Dong thought about this, his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness...

Three days later, Sun and Moon were in the court.

The old emperor looked at Jing Hongchen in the court with a serious face and said solemnly:

"Hong Chen, have the troops stationed outside Shrek City and Mingdou Mountain Range been withdrawn? The public sentiment has been very bad recently. If this continues, I'm afraid people will say that I, Riyue, am narrow-minded."

Jing Hongchen took a step to the left and bowed his head, saying, "Your Majesty, I have already issued an order to retreat, and we will be able to return to the court within five days."

After hearing this, the old emperor nodded, looked at the audience and said softly:
"My dear ministers, Moon, the leader of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, sent me a letter yesterday, expressing his apologies to me and offering to send us a twin martial spirit and a top martial spirit to discuss the exchange student issue. What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of discussion from the audience. After a moment, a representative minister of the peace faction said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, although the people are indignant about the humiliation of the hero, it is absolutely not advisable to initiate a war. In my opinion, since the other party has taken the initiative to surrender, we might as well accept it generously and gain a good reputation among the people."

A trace of displeasure flashed across Jing Hongchen's eyes, and he took a step forward and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. The other party must have some ulterior motive if they are willing to pay such a high price. Moreover, if we reject this plan, can they say that we do not love peace?"

When the ministers saw that Jing Hongchen, who never took sides in the court or expressed his opinions, was so strongly opposed to something, no one dared to speak. After all, with Hongchen's status as the head of the Hall, no one wanted to offend him.

Looking at the many ministers who were silent in the audience, the old emperor could not help but hesitate. After a while, he looked at Kong Deming and asked:
"Right now, our Sun Moon nation is not as powerful as Shrek, and the power of the national teacher cannot be easily shown to others. Now we have an opportunity to ease the relationship with Shrek. It would be a pity if we waste it. De Ming, what do you think?"

Kong Deming replied softly, "Your Majesty, I share the same view as the Red Dust Hall's host. Given Shrek's weight, since they have taken the initiative to surrender, they must have some demands. We can exchange other things with them, such as soul guides, which can also show our subjects our desire for peace."

Hearing the two powerful ministers say this, the old emperor seemed to have made a decision, and then gave an order to the side:

"In this case, please draft a letter for me and cancel the plan of exchanging goods for goods and people for people as De Ming suggested."

"Yes!"

"Let's end today's morning court session here. My dear ministers, you may leave now."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

After everyone left, the old emperor glanced at Xu Tianran in the wheelchair, and thinking of the conversation he had with Xu Tianran that day, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. As a peace-loving person, he did not want Xu Tianran to succeed to the throne.

With his smiling but dagger-hiding character, there would probably be a bloody storm in the royal family not long after his death. Besides, how could the king of this country be a disabled person?

But at present, apart from Xu Tianran, the abilities and temperaments of the other princes are definitely not his opponents. It's just that my health is indeed getting worse day by day. What can I do?
In a dark path, Lin Dong, who was wearing a black robe, licked his lips subconsciously, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that we were discovered just when we killed the second team."

A strong smell of blood wafted through the path, and six corpses were lying scattered around. It looked like they all had at least the strength of Soul Kings when they were alive, and one of them even reached the terrifying strength of a Soul Emperor.

Lin Dong kicked a corpse away and pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly:

"This time it's much harder than last time. The other side was prepared. I guess the commander-in-chief found something wrong when he was counting the number of people. But it's okay this way. I won't play with you guys until we settle the accounts."

After saying this, he wiped away the bloody smell and bloodstains on the black robe, put on his hat, and left the place. No one knew how much time had passed after he left.

A black shadow suddenly appeared and waved his hand. Nearly twenty Soul Emperor-level warriors walked out of the darkness and knelt on one knee in front of him.
"Boss! We have already lost two teams of brothers. Does that guy have bodyguards behind him?"

Zhu Da said in a low voice with an angry face: "This kid was able to show his prowess in the Soul Master Competition. He must have some skills, but I didn't expect him to be so arrogant and even kill our brothers. This time we were careless."

"Then Boss, should we continue searching? If this guy really has bodyguards behind him, we are not enough to fight him!"

Hearing his words, Zhu Da was obviously in a state of hesitation. After a while, he shouted coldly, "Continue searching. If his bodyguards were strong enough, they wouldn't have targeted the weaker teams. In my opinion, these two teams should have died at the hands of that guy."

"What! That kid is only a great spirit master, how could he kill Ding Er and the others so easily, and kill them with one ruthless blow? This is too unbelievable, boss."

There was a faint cold light in Zhu Da's eyes, and there was a hint of solemnity in his low tone:
“I was at the match that day. His fighting skills are indeed outstanding among his peers. He has such a terrifying talent, but he has been hiding it in the mansion for several years. This talent and mentality are really terrifying.

This kind of opponent's potential strength is too terrifying. We can't let him continue to grow. From now on, two Soul Saints will lead six Soul Emperors. We will be divided into three groups and vigorously search the surrounding alleys. Once he appears, we must not be careless and do our best to kill him!"

"It's the boss!"

After Zhu Da waved his hand, those figures disappeared into the darkness again, leaving Zhu Da standing there alone, murmuring in a heavy tone:

"I don't know how this kid hides himself. He can always pick the weakest team. Miss has really provoked a formidable enemy this time. However, he is still a little young after all." Two days later, at Shrek Academy.

"Mr. Mu, Sun Moon has replied. As you expected, the old emperor of Sun Moon still has a peace-loving heart. But it's a pity that our exchange student plan was rejected. It's really disrespectful."

Listening to Yan Shaozhe's report, Moon on the recliner hummed calmly: "Xuan Zi did such a bastard thing, it is understandable that others disagree, there is nothing to regret."

Yan Shaozhe hesitated after hearing this and said, "Then why did you send people to negotiate with Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian's sects to get them to agree to send Xiao Xiao out?"

After hearing this, Moon said jokingly, "At that time, I was still expecting them to agree. Now it seems that I overestimated my old face."

Looking at Yan Shaozhe's expression, Moon smiled calmly:
"Haha, just kidding. Xiao Xiao is undoubtedly the most suitable girl to be sent out. Her family is in the Tianhun Empire. She will never defect to the Sun and Moon Empire. In addition, Wang Dong is quite close to her.

That kid is very loyal. If he can go with Xiao Xiao, we can offer two twin martial spirits, plus a top-level weapon martial spirit, in exchange for the other side's request for the ultimate ice boy. However, we should have underestimated the damage Xuanzi has caused to them."

Although Yan Shaozhe agreed with his plan, he still asked with some confusion:

"But Elder Mu, I heard from Elder Xuan that the young man has an extremely strong character. Even if we succeed, is it really worth it to use our two twin martial spirits to exchange for someone whose heart is not on our side?"

Moon chuckled nonchalantly and said, "Do we need his heart to be with us? As long as we can use his Ultimate Ice to neutralize Xiao Tao's evil fire, we will have one more Ultimate Fire in Shrek. As for the Ultimate Ice, we won't need it anymore.

Unfortunately, we underestimated his status in the hearts of the Sun and Moon people. Otherwise, we could have used the Sun and Moon Emperor to solve a big problem.

What Xuan Zi said the other day made even me a little worried. Being able to bear the power of a fierce beast with the strength of a great soul master, this guy Xuan Zi has caused a lot of trouble for the academy."

Yan Shaozhe looked at Moon who was lost in thought and couldn't help but said:
"Mr. Mu, what do you think about the matter of using soul guides to exchange for the secrets of martial soul cultivation?"

Moon waved his hand calmly: "You go and make the arrangements. The other party won't give us good things, so we naturally can't give them everything we know. This is just a formality for both parties to take a step back."

"Yes!"

Moon looked at Yan Shaozhe who was leaving and sighed again:
"Alas, if this plan could succeed, perhaps Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong could be used to cause a conflict between the Haotian Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect, and the pressure on the academy would be solved. What a pity.

Although the Sun and Moon will not go to war in the short term, I am afraid they will not be able to endure for long. I just don’t know what they are preparing for. Now we can only hope that this peace-loving old emperor can live longer.”

In the Mingdou Mountains, inside the Xingluo garrison’s tent.

Durex reported to Dai Hao excitedly:
"Marshal, the Sun and Moon bastards have finally withdrawn. We also found a lot of advanced soul guides in the baggage they left behind. This is good news."

Dai Hao's originally ugly expression improved a little after hearing his answer, and he urged anxiously:
"Why don't we send someone back to the Empire for research?"

"I have already dealt with the Marshal."

"Well, that's good. By the way, how is Yaoheng's injury? Ask him to come see me."

"Yes."

Not long after Du Leisi left, Dai Yuheng opened the curtain and walked in. He saluted respectfully towards Dai Hao and asked, "What do you want, Marshal?"

Dai Hao waved his hand tiredly: "Although I have given you a position in the army, after all, there are only you and me, father and son, so there is no need to be so distant."

Dai Yuheng nodded and said, "Yes, father, what can I do for you?"

Dai Hao sighed with a sad face, "Since your injury has healed, I won't hide it from you. Hua Bin was seriously injured in the competition, and your mother is not in good condition recently. Alas, I haven't been able to spend enough time with you all these years. It's too late to regret it now."

Dai Yuheng's expression changed, as if he hadn't heard the last sentence. He grabbed his arm anxiously and asked:

"Father, are you telling the truth? But how is this possible? Isn't there another Xuan who hurts our Shrek students?"

Dai Hao looked helpless after hearing this: "I don't know the details, but it was a boy named Lin Dong, a reserve player for Sun Moon. For some reason, he seemed to have a big grudge against Hua Bin. Even after the referee stopped him, he still took the opportunity to kill him.

If it weren't for the spiritual protection soul guide I prepared for him, I'm afraid he would have died on the spot. That kid named Lin Dong is really too cruel!"

Dai Yuheng was stunned after hearing this. Was he making up a story? A pre-selected player beat Hua Bin, who possessed a top-level beast spirit, to near death in front of Master Xuan and the referee? !

If Dai Hao hadn't said this himself, he would never have believed it. He suppressed the shock in his heart and let out a heavy breath.

"Mother has always been in poor health. I wonder how she is doing now?"

Dai Hao looked at him in surprise. This kid was really thoughtful. Then he paused and said:

"I came to you today for this matter. Since you have recovered from your injury, you should take some time to go back. Hua Bin's injury has dealt a heavy blow to your mother. The military situation on the front line is very critical. You should go back to see her on behalf of your father."

Dai Huabin nodded solemnly after hearing this: "Yes, father!"

Watching him leave, Dai Hao sighed with some doubt:

"What on earth did Hua Bin do to make that boy named Lin Dong hate him so much?"

　I'm really busy with exams today. I'm sorry everyone.
