Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 87: Kamikaze Surrender
The strength of the Haotian Sect should not be underestimated, and the Lin family also plays an important role in the Tiandou Empire.

Therefore, whether Tang Xiao came to kill Lin Rong or Lin Rong and the old housekeeper killed him back, these two things could not be made public.

Both parties just need to know the truth between each other and must not bring this matter up.

Once the dispute is exposed, the two sides will fight to the death.

For example, in the original novel, Tang San was ambushed on his way to Spirit City. Almost everyone knew that it was done by the Spirit Hall, but no one dared to speak out about it.

Lin Rong didn't want the old butler's strength to be exposed to the public too early, so he wouldn't reveal the fact that Tang Xiao had tried to kill him.

The Haotian Sect will also be particularly wary of the power in Lin Rong's hands because of Tang Xiao's death, and Tang Yuehua, who is active outside, will definitely not act rashly to avoid getting into trouble.

"This matter is of great importance. No outsider who knows about this matter will be able to leave alive, so..."

Lin Rong's voice echoed throughout the forest under the transmission of spiritual power.

Then, a silver-white light flashed by, and Lin Rong and the old butler disappeared from the spot, appearing behind a towering tree a few hundred meters away.

"Submission or death, you can only choose one!"

The two people hiding behind the big tree froze when they heard the sound coming from behind them.

Of the two, one looked to be in his seventies, and the other looked to be around twenty years old, and had met Lin Rong once before.

"My benefactor, long time no see."

Feng Xiaotian suppressed the fear in his heart and greeted them with a forced smile.

While saying this, I felt secretly bitter in my heart.

Not long ago, the twenty-year-old Feng Xiaotian's soul power broke through level 50. The dean of the Shinfeng Academy was extremely happy when he learned about this.

The twenty-year-old Soul King not only broke the record in the history of Kamikaze Academy, but also left the second place far behind.

The fifth soul ring is the first ten thousand year soul ring that a regular soul master can obtain, and its importance is self-evident.

In order for Feng Xiaotian to obtain a high-quality ten thousand year soul ring, the dean, who was a high-level soul saint, personally led him to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for the fifth soul ring.

Originally, things were going smoothly. The two of them were lucky enough to encounter a Swift Wind Demon Wolf that was over ten thousand years old, and it was a Swift Wind Two-Headed Wolf that had mutated like his martial soul.

With the help of the dean, Feng Xiaotian successfully hunted and absorbed the soul ring of the Ten Thousand Year Old Gale Two-Headed Wolf.

Moreover, the dean also found a head soul bone from the two wolf heads of the Gale Two-Headed Wolf.

The dean gave this head soul bone to Feng Xiaotian to absorb, which allowed his soul power to break through to level 52.

However, they did not expect that this series of good luck would come and go as quickly as it did.

As they were leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, they heard the noise of a huge battle and couldn't help but feel curious.

If it were any other time, no matter how curious they were, they would stay away.

But this time their luck gave them the idea that they could benefit from it, so they came to find out what was going on out of curiosity.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have come here if I had known. Curiosity kills!"

Beside Feng Xiaotian, the dean who was in his seventies, heard the word "benefactor" and his tense body relaxed a little, and asked:

"Xiaotian, do you know each other?"

Hearing the dean's question, Feng Xiaotian immediately told him what happened four years ago.

Then, he said to Lin Rong:

"We just arrived, we really don't know what's going on here!"

After hearing this, Lin Rong replied calmly:
"I know."

These words made them both feel relieved, but Lin Rong's next words made them change their expressions again.

"But so what?" "Whether you know what happened here or not, it doesn't matter."

"But you saw me and Yu Bo appear here. Just for this reason, I can't let you go."

"I don't want to repeat what I just said a second time. You only have one minute to think about it. The time starts from now, and one second has passed."

As he spoke, a liquid hourglass made of sky-blue soul power appeared in mid-air, and the liquid soul power inside was dripping from the upper layer to the lower layer drop by drop.

This move shocked the dean. Even he couldn't achieve such delicate control of soul power.

This made him no longer underestimate the seemingly ten-year-old child in front of him, and he began to seriously consider what Lin Rong had just said.

Half a minute later, the dean made his choice.

"I am Mu Feng, the dean of Kamikaze Academy. I am willing to lead all the direct teachers and students of Kamikaze Academy to be loyal to the Duke."

The dean knelt on one knee to show his submission, and then asked in a low voice:
"But there is one thing I want to ask you. What is the current strength of the person next to you?"

Faced with this question, Lin Rong did not answer directly, but said:

"No need to guess. It's just as you thought. It's only higher, not lower."

After saying that, Lin Rong continued to instruct:

"I have a mission for you. Help me conquer the three academies of Blazing Fire, Sky Water, and Thunder. Is that a problem?"

"This one……"

Mu Feng's expression was very embarrassed, and he answered:
"My lord, this may be difficult to handle."

"Among our five element academies, the Xiangjia Academy supported by the Xiangjia Sect is excluded. Although the other four academies are closely related, they all have their own ideas."

"Therefore, I can only do my best, but I cannot guarantee success."

Lin Rong naturally understood what Mu Feng said.

Their three academies are very powerful in their own cities, and no one wants to suddenly have an extra master above their heads.

Therefore, Lin Rong acted very generously and said:
"It's okay. You don't need to do it directly."

"One day in the future, your four element academies will retain the direct teachers and students of their respective academies to gather together for warmth."

"Then it will be the best time for you to lobby the other three deans."

Mu Feng was a little confused by this.

Their four colleges only retain direct faculty and students to keep each other together. How much turmoil would it take to achieve such a situation?

"Only the Spirit Hall can do this."

"The prestige of our four major colleges in our own city cannot be easily shaken."

"But most of the non-direct teachers and students in the academy have close ties with the Spirit Hall."

"Only the Spirit Hall can force our four major colleges to gather together with their teachers and students for warmth."

"But in the future, why would Spirit Hall do that? Is there any benefit for them?"

Mu Feng did not doubt Lin Rong's words.

But he changed his mind and felt that there was no need for Lin Rong to lie to him.

The task of him conquering the three major academies would only be implemented after that event in the future happened.

"It turns out that the water on this continent has already become turbid without anyone noticing, but I just didn't notice it before."
