Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 109: Coming, Ling Nian Douluo's Speculation! Residual Heat Worth Using (4.6k)

The dark night seemed brighter under the illumination of various lights in Tiandou City. For some reason, Long Aotian had been feeling uneasy since he came to Tiandou City today. This feeling was difficult to describe, but it had been lingering in Long Aotian's heart, as if foreshadowing something.

In a trance, it seemed that a crystal snowflake fell slowly from the air. Long Aotian was slightly startled, but then, before he could react, a powerful soul power wave suddenly rose up behind him, and the next moment, he was taken away from the original place.

As his body turned over, Long Aotian barely opened his eyes, only to find that he had been brought to an open space in the courtyard by Lingnian Douluo.

Beside him, Vina, who was also in shock, looked at the ruined house in astonishment, and then swallowed hard.

boom--

With the dull sound of an object falling to the ground, the three were shocked to find that it was actually the body of Qingtian Douluo that was casually thrown in front of them. Then, a cold voice sounded:

“Although I don’t know how the three of you managed to dodge, it’s not important. Our target is only those two. If you don’t want to die, I advise you not to say a word. Otherwise, just wait to die.”

Following the source of the sound, the Ice Emperor was proudly suspended in mid-air. Her right arm had transformed into a diamond-like scorpion claw. Wisps of dark green soul power were rippling in the air. Around her body, there was a barrier set up by Alex to ensure that not even a trace of the Ice Emperor's soul beast aura would leak out.

"Ultimate Douluo... no, it's Super Douluo..."

Ling Nian Douluo, who was protecting Long Aotian and Vina behind him, murmured in a low voice, his eyes, which were glowing with silver light, full of shock.

The martial soul of this beautiful woman who is over ninety years old is also the brain. As the most powerful type of the body's martial soul, she has reached the level of ninety-six Super Douluo and has unique merits in mental power. As one of the few female titled powerhouses on the continent, her status in the Body Sect is second only to the Sect Master Du Bu Si, and is on par with the Deputy Sect Master Jin Shen Douluo. At the same time, she is also one of the most hidden among the contemporary titled powerhouses, and there is almost no news about her on the continent.

As a rare spiritual-attribute Super Douluo, she possesses two hundred thousand year soul rings. Of course, these two hundred thousand year soul rings are not from land soul beasts, but from the vast ocean.

Her ninth soul ring came from a 100,000-year-old fantasy sea monster. This fantasy sea monster brought her an extremely precious spiritual skull, but also gave her a soul skill that seemed useless but was actually useless.

That is the protection of destiny.

A soul skill of early warning. When a strong person who is much stronger than her own enters within 150 meters of her with hostility, even if her mental power cannot sense the danger, this soul bone will give her instructions in time and adjust her body and soul power to a suitable state in the first place.

Because of the existence of this seemingly useless soul skill, she was able to take Long Aotian and Vina out of the house as soon as possible.

The pressure from the Ice Emperor was too great. Once her soul power level reached level 95, each subsequent level increase was equivalent to entering a new level. When she faced the Ice Emperor at level 96, she clearly felt the huge chasm between the two of them. What made her even more desperate was that the mental power that she had always been proud of had lost its effect at this moment. This manor seemed to be wrapped in an invisible film. Not to mention mental power, even the sounds and the real scenes inside were probably unknown to outsiders.

Thoughts were spinning rapidly in her brain, and she had already realized that the person who came was definitely not an ordinary strong man. In this situation, let alone she could call for reinforcements, it was even a question whether she and others could survive.

Thinking of this, Ling Nian Douluo quickly sent a message to the two people behind him:

"The one who came here is definitely not an ordinary person. His strength is so terrifying that I can't imagine it. Aotian, Nana, don't say too much. The other party is very likely to have a grudge against Shuangxing and the soul guide who came out of nowhere. This area has been covered by a terrifying mental force. I can't send a message to the outside world. Now, we have to save ourselves..."

Long Aotian pulled Vina behind him, his cold eyes fixed on Bingdi and the building behind her that had turned into ruins.

Vina grabbed the corner of Long Aotian's clothes tightly. She never thought that someone would dare to do such a bold thing less than five kilometers away from the Tiandou Palace. What was even more terrifying was that their lives were passively in the hands of others. They were like newborn lambs, weak and helpless.

Bingdi was a little uncomfortable for a moment when she saw that the three people were so sensible, but since Shu Yan had already given the instructions, she naturally didn't bother to say anything more and turned her gaze to the back.

Shu Yan also appeared from the side at this time. He glanced at the three Lingnian Douluo casually, swept his eyes over Long Aotian, and stayed on Vina and Lingnian Douluo for a moment. He couldn't help but admire them in his heart.

These master and disciple duo actually look like mother and daughter, so... no wonder they are not allowed to broadcast the show?
In the ruins, Snow Queen walked out, carrying the unconscious Frost Star Duke and the middle-aged man in each hand. Under the moonlight, her unusually cold phoenix eyes glanced at Lingnian Douluo and the other two. Even though their true faces were blocked, the invisible imperial aura forced Lingnian Douluo to take two steps back, and his face turned pale instantly.

"It's done, let's go."

Xue Di said softly, and at the same time she flew into the air, turning into a streak of white light and disappeared into the sky.

Bingdi smacked his lips and said in a somewhat bored tone:

"It's so boring. I thought it would be fun, but it's all just a bunch of rubbish."

After that, she left with Shu Yan. From beginning to end, only Lingnian Douluo and the other two looked nervous. Of course, Qingtian Douluo was knocked unconscious by a slap from Bingdi and was sleeping soundly at this time, but when he woke up, he must have broken a few ribs or something.

After the three figures completely disappeared from their sight, Ling Nian Douluo and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back, Ling Nian Douluo discovered with some embarrassment that her back had been completely soaked with cold sweat, and even her hands were shaking unconsciously.

"Damn Shuang Xing, I was wondering when he would be so generous. He was actually willing to sell us a 100,000-year soul beast at such a low price. It turns out he was planning to pass the hot potato to our Body Sect. Damn it!"

Lingnian Douluo cursed in a low voice, and at the same time, sent a soft mental force into Qingtian Douluo's spiritual sea. Then nine soul rings of yellow, purple, black, and red rose up under her feet. The next moment, a silver halo flew out from her hand at a high speed, and immediately shattered the gradually fading invisible protective shield. The next moment, several rays of light shot up into the sky in the distance, and then flew towards this side at a rapid speed.

When the light faded, the leader was an old man with a stiff face, and behind him, there were four people of different heights, weights and bodies.

The black-haired old man looked around quickly, paused for a moment at the unconscious Qingtian Douluo, and then asked in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty Ling Nian, what exactly happened? Why didn't we notice anything?"

A hint of ruthlessness appeared in Ling Nian Douluo's eyes, and then she said softly:
"The 100,000-year soul beast that Shuangxing got may not have come from a legitimate source. It may even have offended a terrifying hidden force. Just now, two strong men came and took them away. Fortunately, they seemed to be only looking for Shuangxing and the other two, and did not attack us. As for Qingtian... he reacted too slowly and was affected, but he is not seriously injured."

The black-haired old man was suddenly startled, and then asked:

"Your Majesty Ling Nian said so. Are the two really that powerful?"

Ling Nian Douluo looked into the distance. At this moment, there were still strong men approaching this side continuously. A trace of palpitation flashed in her eyes, and then she slowly said:

"The soul power level of one of them is still worth figuring out. Her aura is somewhat similar to that of the sect master. Her soul power level should be level 98. But the other woman in white..."

Ling Nian Douluo paused, and then continued:

"She is the most terrifying of all the powerful spirit masters I have ever seen. Even when the former sect master was alive, he was not as powerful and terrifying as her."

"She crushed two Title Douluo without any effort. She could easily suppress me with just a glance, even without deliberately using her spirit skills. That woman is most likely an Ultimate Douluo at her peak."

"Ultimate Douluo!?" When these words came out, not only the black-haired old man was shocked, but the strong men who came with the black-haired old man also looked at each other in bewilderment, and no one dared to speak.

Vina and Long Aotian listened quietly on the side, and no one spoke. Although they had a high status, they were just low-level spirit masters now. How could they have a say in such matters?

Seeing everyone's disbelief, Ling Nian Douluo's eyebrows darkened slightly, and then he spoke again:

"The two female warriors were accompanied by a young man, but their appearance and aura were transformed by their mental power. When I exerted my mental power to the fullest, it was not even weaker than that of the sect master, but I still couldn't see anything."

"Shuangxing has caused us a big trouble this time. Fortunately, the other party did not involve innocent people, otherwise I am afraid that Tiandou City will encounter a huge change today."

"Mr. Zhang, go back and report to His Majesty and tell him everything truthfully. Also, I will immediately notify the sect and have the sect master come over in person to protect Aotian and Nana. Also, do not attempt to search for Shuangxing and the other two. Tianhun can lose a duke, but it must not make enemies with a Super Douluo and an Ultimate Douluo again. As for the Northern Legion of the Empire, the strong men from my Body Sect will accompany you to conquer it."

"Duke Froststar announced to the public that he had died of a sudden cold poison. This matter is kept top secret. Everyone present must keep it in their hearts. Do you understand?"

Several strong men turned their eyes to the black-haired old man. The old man hesitated for a moment, but then nodded.

"Everyone listen to His Majesty Ling Nian. If anyone dares to leak out what happened today, I will kill him personally!"

Ling Nian Douluo looked up at the starry sky and touched his apprentice's head. For a moment, he felt as if he was in another world...

……

At this time, in the cabin in the Sunset Forest.

The five people looked at the two people who were thrown to the ground at random. Then, Shu Yan decisively stabbed each of them. The two people woke up one by one from the severe pain, and then faced the fist of Bingdi who suppressed his anger head-on...

With a loud bang, the two fainted again.

Shu Yan: “…”

"Be gentle. If you hit them harder, you might kill these two people. The Duke of Frost Star is dead, but don't kill this ninth-level soul master. Let me plant the soul slave mark on him and bring him back to the country to make some use of his remaining energy."

Shu Yan said unhappily.

Bingdi shook his little fist, inevitably a little embarrassed, and then said softly:

"I know. I was just too angry. Who knew these two idiots were so weak?"

Shu Yan shook his head, woke up the two people again, and then went to the outside.

After hesitating for a while, he stepped forward and gently took Shu Yan's hand, then asked softly:

"Ayan, Vina and the others..."

Shu Yan was not surprised. The friendship between Xu Jiujiu and Vina was not that pure, but for people in their position, how many feelings could be pure?

Shu Yan didn't dare to guarantee that Xu Jiujiu's love for him did not include responsibility for his country, but this was not a question Shu Yan wanted to consider.

Xu Jiujiu's love for him may not be completely pure, but it is absolutely passionate and firm, which is enough. In fact, people should sometimes learn to accept the twists and turns in relationships. As long as the starting point, process and imagined ending of this relationship are good, it is actually perfect.

The relationship between Xu Jiujiu and Vina is that of best friends. They knew each other when they were young and later exchanged letters. They can be considered half-close friends. Before people get to know each other, it is inevitable that they will have selfish hearts.

"Don't worry, Jiujiu, the Tianhun Empire and the Body Sect are still useful to us, so we won't touch them for the time being."

"Also, Jiujiu, don't forget our goal. When a war breaks out in the future, we will need the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect to disperse and attract the firepower of the Sun and Moon Empire. The same goes for the Douling."

"Instead of letting them die so quickly in our hands, it is better to let them wear each other down. We can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then reap the benefits. This will minimize our losses and allow them to exert their remaining energy. This is a good thing. At least judging from the current situation, letting them live is obviously more beneficial than killing them directly."

"Think about it from another angle. If the Duke and Princess of Tianhun, as well as the Young Master and the elders of the Body Sect, all died here, the bond between the Body Sect and the Tianhun Royal Family would be directly broken. The consequences of doing so would be very varied. Before the real war comes, this is not something we should do unless it is necessary. What we have to do is to practice and become an Extreme Douluo as soon as possible, or even break through to that level..."

"The road to unification is filled with endless blood and hatred. Some things can be avoided through calculations, and there is no need to refuse them as long as they do not affect one's own interests. However, some things can only be conquered through killing and strength. Sometimes, being passive and active is a very important thing."

Shu Yan held Xu Jiujiu's hand and walked out of the room. They were looking at the stream at night. Fireflies kept flying past them, which was beautiful and moving.

Xu Jiujiu sighed. What Shu Yan said was very clear, and she also understood Shu Yan's real intention.

He was paving the way for the empire, and wasn't he also paving the way for himself? Xu Jiujiu was very glad that she was Shu Yan's lover, and was also very happy that Shu Yan was frank and caring about her. After struggling for a moment, she spoke softly:

"If Vina survives in the future, I hope to spare her life. She is one of my few close friends. We are both princesses, and sometimes we are the same kind of people."

After finishing speaking, Xu Jiujiu smiled playfully again, and then said:

"But I'm luckier than her. I have you, Ayan, by my side. I'm happy every day."

As he spoke, Xu Jiujiu stood on tiptoe.

Shu Yan curled his lips and smiled, but did not refuse.

In his eyes, the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Body Sect, and the Douling Empire were perfect cannon fodder. In the war, the powerful Sun-Moon Empire would undoubtedly deal them a fatal blow. His strength was increasing rapidly. When his strength was higher, he would start to solve the problems in Xingluo. After that, he would make some arrangements for the Sun-Moon Empire that he had already thought of...

Looking at the blonde girl with charming eyes and breath as blue as orchid, Shu Yan leaned over and whispered something in Xu Jiujiu's ear. Xu Jiujiu bit her red lips, half-reluctant but in the end she still couldn't refuse Shu Yan...
