People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

For no apparent reason, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. A tremendous fighting spirit spread out from Zhu Li's body like a surging wave. Purple light instantly permeated his body. The light became brighter and brighter, slowly condensing behind him, and actually formed the silhouette of a giant purple-gold dragon.

The giant dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws. There seemed to be faint sounds of wind and thunder as its dragon whiskers fluttered. There was endless majesty in the dragon's eyes, as if it could see through all the vanity in this world. It coiled in the air behind Zhu Li, emitting a tremendous pressure that pressed down on Xiao Ling fiercely, as if to crush him. The entire space became heavy and depressing because of this pressure, and the air around it also whistled chaotically.

Facing such terrifying pressure, Xiao Ling remained calm. Between his brows, a light quietly flowed, and then, a vast mental force spread out like a bursting dam.

In an instant, a pitch-black black hole gradually formed behind him. The black hole slowly rotated and emerged. Each circle of rotation seemed to carry a mysterious rhythm, as if connected to an endless chaotic abyss.

It exuded an extremely powerful devouring force, like the mouth of a bottomless giant beast, swallowing up all the tremendous pressure released by Zhu Li. The originally chaotic and heavy space gradually regained some stability with the effect of the devouring force.

However, the tense confrontation between the two was still as intense as if it were real, as if a more intense collision would break out in the next moment.

Feeling the overwhelming pressure emanating from Zhu Li, Xiao Ling couldn't help but be secretly surprised. He knew that the person in front of him was a semi-saint, and his aura was indeed extraordinary. The pressure alone made people feel insurmountable.

Xiao Ling made a rough estimate. For himself at the moment, if he really had a real fight with Zhu Li, even if his life was not in danger, it would be extremely difficult for him to gain even the slightest advantage from him.

Zhu Li on the opposite side, although still maintaining a calm and composed appearance, his heart was already filled with turmoil and he was extremely terrified.

You know, I just released a kind of pressure, but Xiao Ling was able to remain calm and composed.

He is only a Seven-Star Dou Zun now. With this level of cultivation, according to common sense, he should have been unable to withstand the pressure from a Semi-Saint like himself.

However, not only did Xiao Ling hold on steadily, the tremendous soul power that emanated from his body made Zhu Li secretly gasp in amazement. It was truly so terrifying.

Especially the black hole-like vortex behind Xiao Ling, Zhu Li actually felt a faint sense of palpitations from it.

As a semi-saint, he has experienced countless hardships and has seen all kinds of powerful characters. But now, Xiao Ling has methods that can make him aware of the danger. How can he not be shocked?

Zhu Li thought to himself that this must be the method used by the so-called talisman master.

But where exactly is this talisman master? He has lived in this world for so long, experienced many things in the world, and witnessed countless wonderful skills and mysterious techniques, but he has never heard of such a strange existence. It is really magical. I don’t know when this technique was passed down in the world.
This young man in front of me should never be underestimated. He will probably cause quite a stir in this world in the future.

Perhaps the declining Xiao clan may really be able to prosper again under his leadership. It would not be too much of a lowering of status for Her Royal Highness the Princess to associate with such an outstanding person.

As the two men were confronting each other, Zi Yan, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment, shocked by the powerful confrontation between the two men. But she quickly came to her senses, her face full of anxiety, and she hurried forward to dissuade them.

Zi Yan's figure flashed slightly, and she appeared in front of Zhu Li. She stretched out her hand to hold Zhu Li's sleeve, looked up at him, and said anxiously: "Old Zhu Li, don't be impulsive. Since Xiao Ling is so persistent, he must have his reasons. Let's listen to what he thinks and what makes him do this."

Although Zi Yan knew in her heart that the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was of vital importance to the Ancient Dragon Clan, and she also knew the responsibilities she shouldered, she had known Xiao Ling for so long and knew that Xiao Ling was not the kind of person who acted rashly. Although she did not quite understand Xiao Ling's actions at the moment, Zi Yan was still willing to believe in and support him unconditionally.

With Zi Yan's earnest words, Zhu Li slowly calmed down, took a deep breath, and slowly retracted the majestic aura on his body. The frightening sense of oppression around him gradually dissipated. He turned to look at Xiao Ling. Although there was still some doubt in his eyes, his tone was much calmer. He asked:

"Since Her Highness the Princess trusts you so much and has said so, then I will temporarily put aside all my worries and listen carefully to why you, Xiao Ling, insist on bringing Her Highness the Princess with you. Please tell me in detail. If it makes sense, I will consider it carefully."

"I'm sorry, Elder Zhuli, I still say the same thing, I have no comment on this matter." Xiao Ling's expression remained indifferent, and he shook his head gently. His tone was calm but revealed an unquestionable determination.

After a slight pause, he continued, "You can personally take the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit back to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan for safekeeping. Zi Yan will just stay by my side. I will definitely protect her and will never let her get hurt. If you don't believe in my ability, you can try to measure my strength. Although I know that you are a semi-saint and your cultivation is far superior to mine, if we really have to compete, I may not be completely powerless to fight back."

When Zhu Li heard Xiao Ling's words, his brows still furrowed slightly, and a look of helplessness and displeasure flashed across his face.

But he could feel his sleeves being pulled tightly by Zi Yan, and the strength from that little hand seemed to be silently pleading for Xiao Ling. Even though he was unwilling in his heart, he could only sigh helplessly.

Zhu Li looked at Xiao Ling and said slowly, "Okay, since you insist, then I'll do as you say. However, Her Royal Highness the Princess is of noble status. She is the only royal bloodline of our Ancient Dragon Clan and carries the hope of the entire clan. I hope that you, Xiao Ling, can do your best to take good care of Her Royal Highness the Princess and not let her fall into any danger."

If it weren't for the tense confrontation with Xiao Ling before, Zhu Li would have found it hard to imagine that Xiao Ling, who was so young and whose cultivation was only at the Seven-Star Dou Zun level, could display such astonishing combat power. If you think about it carefully, he should not be inferior to an ordinary intermediate semi-saint.

It is for this reason that Zhu Li knows very well that Xiao Ling has enough strength to protect Zi Yan.
After spending such a long time together, he also knew clearly that with the deep friendship between Zi Yan and Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling would never do anything to harm Zi Yan.

If there was any danger, Xiao Ling would definitely take Zi Yan back to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan as soon as possible to ensure her safety and let her return to the protection of the clan. Therefore, although there were still some concerns in his heart, Zhu Li finally chose to trust Xiao Ling temporarily and agreed to let Zi Yan stay with him.

He paused, his eyes became solemn, and then he said: "The matter of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is of great importance to our Ancient Dragon Clan. It concerns the future prosperity and decline of the clan. I can take the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit back to the clan to make some preparations first, and discuss with the elders of the clan how to properly use this treasure in the future, so that it can play the greatest role and help our Ancient Dragon Clan return to the peak. But I ask Xiao Ling not to take Her Royal Highness the Princess out to delay too much time, and come back as soon as possible."

"Since Elder Zhuli has said so, then of course it is so. I will definitely put Ziyan's safety first and do my best to take care of her. Please rest assured, Elder. And it won't take long before I can bring Ziyan back to the Ancient Dragon Clan."

Seeing Zhu Li give way to the stairs, Xiao Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled lightly and nodded, saying with a relaxed look:

"By then, I promise to bring very exciting news to the Ancient Dragon Clan and will not let the elders and the entire Ancient Dragon Clan down."

After hearing Xiao Ling's somewhat puzzling words, Zhu Li felt a ripple of curiosity in his heart, but after all, he had experienced a long time in this world, and he naturally had enough self-control and would not be easily swayed by this curiosity.

Anyway, Xiao Ling has already said this, and he will know the reason sooner or later. He feels that there is really no need for him to be the ignorant person and ask too many questions at this moment.

Zhu Li looked calm, nodded slowly, and said in a steady tone: "In this case, I hope that Xiao Ling can keep this promise. I am waiting for you and the princess to return in the Ancient Dragon Clan. I just hope everything goes well and nothing goes wrong."

"Zi Yan is my most important partner and family member. Even if it costs my life, I will protect her." Xiao Ling said as he walked to Zi Yan's side. His eyes were full of tenderness and determination. He raised his hand and gently rubbed her hair, and the action was full of pampering.

Then, Xiao Ling looked at Zi Yan and said softly, "Zi Yan, give the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit to Elder Zhu Li now. This thing is of great importance to the Ancient Dragon Clan. It is always unsafe to leave it here. It is better to take it back to Ancient Dragon Island for safekeeping."

When Zi Yan heard Xiao Ling's words, her heart instantly warmed up, as if a trace of sweetness was quietly spreading in her heart, and that feeling made her whole body warm.

After hearing Xiao Ling's instructions, she did not hesitate at all and immediately activated the mark in her hand. A faint light flashed, and the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit reappeared in her hand.

Zi Yan looked serious, then she lifted it steadily in front of Zhu Li and said crisply:
"Old Zhuli, I'm handing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit over to you. You have to take good care of it for me. This is a treasure that concerns the future of our Ancient Dragon Clan. If anything goes wrong, I'll only hold you responsible."

Although there was a hint of playful reproach in her words, the seriousness in her eyes showed how much she valued the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

Seeing the legendary Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit appear in front of him so clearly and without any cover, Zhu Li couldn't help but be shocked.

But soon, Zhu Li came back to his senses. He carefully stretched out his hands, gently took the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and then carefully put it into his sleeves. His movements were gentle and solemn, as if he was treating the most precious treasure in the world.

After doing all this, Zhu Li nodded towards Zi Yan seriously and said firmly, "Don't worry, Princess. Even if it costs me my life, I will not let anything go wrong with this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit..."

"Elder Zhuli, in my opinion, it is best not to mention the matter of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit to too many people." Xiao Ling on the side couldn't help but add a sentence.
"I think we should just tell the two Dousheng elders of Ancient Dragon Island. As for the other members of Ancient Dragon Island, it's better not to let them know about this. After all, the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is too important. The fewer people who know about it, the smaller the potential risk. For the sake of safety and to avoid unnecessary trouble and risks, it's understandable to do this."

Xiao Ling clearly remembered that in the original novel, the news that Zi Yan obtained the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was leaked out somehow, which then led to a disaster. After the people from the other three Dragon Islands learned about it, they all attacked the East Dragon Island. That was not what Xiao Ling wanted to see.

Although this news might have been leaked by the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan to the other three dragon islands, there is no guarantee that there are no people with ill intentions inside the Ancient Dragon Island. If an insider secretly spreads the news, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, at this moment, it is undoubtedly the wisest approach to take some preventive measures in advance and try to reduce the number of people who know about this matter.

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, Zhu Li was stunned for a moment, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

But after a moment, he nodded solemnly and said in a steady tone:
"What Xiao Ling said does make sense. This matter is indeed of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. I will follow your advice and will not discuss this matter with other members of the clan except the First Elder and the Second Elder. I will keep this secret and will not let any news leak out."

Originally, Zhu Li was planning to convene an important elders meeting of the clan after bringing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit back to Ancient Dragon Island safely.

But now after listening to Xiao Ling's reminder, Zhu Li thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true. Once the news of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was leaked, it might attract covetousness from all parties. For safety reasons, it would be better to block the news.

Zhu Li then spoke a few more words to Zi Yan in detail, his words full of concern and instructions, asking her to be careful outside and to follow Xiao Ling's arrangements.

After saying all this, Zhu Li did not linger any longer. He first nodded slightly to Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, and then tore open a space channel with his hand.

Then, Zhu Li moved and turned into a stream of light. He went straight into it without hesitation and disappeared in the blink of an eye. (End of this chapter)
