I'm picking up fragments in Douluo Continent

Chapter 206: Longxing City, Destroyed Clan

The next day, early in the morning, the dawn broke.

At the border of the two empires, a large and magnificent carriage was moving towards the Star Luo Empire, raising dust along the way.

The interior of the carriage was extremely comfortably furnished, with a layer of soft quilts covering the bed, making it very relaxing to sit in.

There is a small table in the middle, filled with a variety of fruits and snacks, which are mouth-watering.

Lu Feng lay comfortably on Zhu Zhuqing's thighs, opened his mouth slightly, and swallowed a grape that she fed him personally. The juice overflowed and the sweetness overflowed in his mouth.

"The Li family is indeed a forging family. This carriage is so exquisitely built. You can't feel any bumps when sitting in it. It's not inferior to the carriages used by the royal family." Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but admire.

Lu Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and said jokingly: "Then when I ascend to the throne, I will arrest them all and let them forge iron for me."

Zhu Zhuqing rolled his eyes at him, snorted, and said angrily: "Humph, the Li clan is staying in Tiandou City, can you grow wings and fly over there to snatch the people back?"

"Don't worry, there will always be such a day." Lu Feng's mouth corners slightly raised, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He wrote down all the conflicts between him and the Li Clan in his little notebook.

These accounts will have to be settled sooner or later.

The carriage was moving at an extremely high speed, speeding all the way. In just one morning, it successfully entered the territory of the Xingluo Empire.

It is the season of clear and crisp autumn weather. The air outside is fresh and cool with a hint of autumn.

The environment of the Xingluo Empire is completely different from that of the Tiandou Empire. It is vast and mainly plains, with few mountains and dense forests, and the view is extremely broad.

The capital of the Xingluo Empire, Xingluo City, was located in the center of the Xingluo Plain. It would take more than half a month to get there from the border, even by carriage.

The carriage traveled day and night and took three or four days.

When he climbed over a small hill, a city built of huge black rocks vaguely appeared in Lu Feng's sight.

This is the gateway to the Xingluo Empire - Longxing City, and it is also a prosperous border trade city.

Longxing City is not under the direct jurisdiction of the Xingluo royal family, but belongs to a kingdom.

Due to the frequent trade exchanges, there is a constant stream of merchants passing by here, and it is very lively.

This seemingly small city actually ranks among the top five major cities in the Xingluo Empire in terms of annual revenue, which shows how prosperous it is.

In Douluo Continent, many kingdoms and principalities are ostensibly affiliated with the two empires, but secretly they are independent and act independently, just like independent small kingdoms.

What's worse, some principalities are backed by mysterious forces and are becoming more and more unscrupulous. Not only do they not obey the Empire's orders, but they also blatantly expand their territories.

An hour later, Lu Feng and Zhu Zhuqing finally arrived at Longxing City.

After a brief inspection at the city gate, they entered the city smoothly.

In the city, pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder, and it is very lively. Various shouts and hawking sounds can be heard one after another.

Lu Feng looked at the shops on both sides curiously, his eyes full of novelty and excitement. After all, this was his first time in a southern city.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at his curious expression, her eyebrows curved and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"How is it? Our Xing Luo Empire is pretty good, right?"

Although she had to leave the Xingluo Empire due to internal family competition, when she set foot on this familiar homeland again, an indescribable emotion suddenly surged in her heart.

The familiar streets, buildings, the unique scent in the air, and every tree and blade of grass here all made her feel extremely at home.

Lu Feng smiled faintly, his eyes full of doting, and said softly: "It's really good, it's a good place, no wonder it can raise a beautiful girl like you."

When Zhu Zhuqing heard this, her face instantly turned red.

She turned her head away, a faint blush appeared on her face, and she said angrily, "You are just a chatterbox. Come on, I will take you to taste the unique wine of our Xingluo Empire."

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing pointed her finger at a pub not far away.

"This is it."

Lu Feng looked in the direction of her finger and saw a tavern with simple and elegant decoration.

The pub is a two-story building with a fresh green exterior, which looks particularly elegant. A simple plaque hangs on the wooden round arch, with four powerful characters engraved on it.

"Happy hour?"

Lu Feng recited softly, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his mind, as if he remembered something.

He looked inside through the glass window. There was a faint and warm light in the pub, and it was obvious that the pub was open for business at this time.

"Let's go in and take a look." A hint of anticipation flashed in Lu Feng's eyes. He took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and strode towards the tavern.

"Dingling bell~"

The door of the tavern was slowly pushed open, touching the small bell hanging above, and the crisp sound echoed in the tavern.

At this time, a waiter in white clothes slowly came over with a professional smile on his face and said politely: "Welcome to the Happy Hour Tavern. What drinks would you like to order?"

Lu Feng raised a faint smile and said gently, "Hello, please give me a glass of the freshest juice."

"Juice?" The waiter frowned slightly subconsciously when he heard the request.

Ordering juice in this pub, is this person here to cause trouble?

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head, as if he had thought of something important, and he looked at Lu Feng carefully again.

"Dear sir, please wait a moment. I will go and ask the boss for instructions."

After saying that, the waiter trotted away.

"Lu Feng, do you know the owner of this pub?" Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing was full of doubts and couldn't help but ask.

Lu Feng smiled, but before he could answer, a hearty laugh came from behind the counter.

"Hahaha, Brother Tang Er, you finally came to see Fatty."

With the sound, the curtain was pulled open and a fat man squeezed out from behind.

This man was about 1.7 meters tall, but his weight was conservatively estimated to be 300 kilograms. His face was full of flesh, and the big beard on his chin was carefully tied into a braid, which made him look quite unique.

"Hahaha, Gulas, you've gained weight again." Lu Feng laughed, opened his arms, and gave Gulas a warm bear hug.

Gulas patted Lu Feng's shoulder vigorously and said with emotion: "Brother Tang, you have changed so much that I almost didn't recognize you."

At this time, under the effect of the [Disguise] skill, Lu Feng's overall appearance still remained that of Dai Mubai, but some facial details had begun to gradually change towards his original appearance.

In a few years, when he has recovered to 70% to 80% of his original appearance, people around him will not notice anything unusual due to the subtle influence.

At this time, Gulas's eyes fell on Zhu Zhuqing, and he looked her up and down for a few times, then smiled and said, "Eh? Is this my sister-in-law? Not bad, pretty, with a big butt, but a little thin." Hearing such a straightforward evaluation, Zhu Zhuqing's face instantly turned red. It was the first time she was said like this, and she felt shy and a little embarrassed.

Lu Feng took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and introduced her: "Zhuqing, this is my friend whom I met in the Soul Beast Forest before, Gulas."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly and said softly: "Hello, my name is Zhu Zhuqing."

Gulas laughed heartily: "Haha, I'm so happy to meet an old friend today."

As he spoke, he grabbed the glass of beer beside him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother Tang, I'm going to call the big sister and the others over. We must not leave until we are drunk tonight!"

Lu Feng smiled and asked, "Are the big sister and the others also in Longxing City?"

Gulas nodded and said, "Well, that guy Man Sandao was really quick to act. Their children are old enough to help with cooking now."

Lu Feng didn't wake up until noon the next day.

With his level 59 soul power, he only needed to use his soul power slightly to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. But it was a rare reunion for old friends, so he naturally didn't want to ruin this special relationship.

"Squeak~"

The door was slowly pushed open, and Zhu Zhuqing walked in carrying a basin of hot water.

Lu Feng washed his face with a towel, sobered up, and said, "Zhu Qing, where are Gulas and the others? We still have business to do, so it's time to say goodbye."

"I've already told them. As for the Po Yi clan, I've also sent someone to deliver a visiting card."

"Yeah." Lu Feng nodded slightly.

Zhu Zhuqing continued, "After the Haotian Sect closed its mountains, the four single-attribute sects dispersed. Although the Poyi Clan suffered heavy losses that year, they are good at refining medicine and are very popular in the Xingluo Empire."

As she spoke, she frowned slightly and said with some concern: "The Po Yi clan receives countless recruitments every year, but they are all rejected one by one. Lu Feng, are you really sure you can recruit them?"

Lu Feng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I dare not say it is 100% certain, but I have to give it a try. As for the chance of success, I think it is 98% certain."

"Hmph, just blow it." A faint smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's lips, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

"Zhu Qing, you actually dared to doubt your husband. I will punish you according to my family rules."

"Ah, no."

A huge and magnificent mansion.

There is a striking character "Yang" engraved on the plaque of the mansion, indicating the identity of the owner of this house.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the door of Yang Mansion was pushed open suddenly, and a figure in black was thrown out, falling heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The man in black struggled to stand up, his face full of anger and unwillingness.

"Yang Wudi, okay, okay, you actually dared to refuse the eldest prince's recruitment!" He pointed at Yang Mansion with trembling fingers and cursed.

At the gate, a tall and thin man was holding a spear, with soul power surging around him. Eight soul rings, two yellow, two purple and four black, slowly emerged, emitting a terrifying aura.

Yang Wudi's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He stared coldly and said in a low and majestic voice, "Humph, do you really think I was scared? If you dare to bark like a mad dog again, you will have a taste of my soul-breaking spear!"

Hearing this, the man in black's face changed instantly, and the anger on his face was instantly replaced by fear. He opened his mouth, but did not dare to say another word.

"Hmph." He snorted coldly and left the place as if he was running away.

"Oh." Yang Wudi looked at the receding back of the man in black, slowly put away his martial spirit, and a trace of fatigue and helplessness appeared on his face.

"Why is the sect leader sighing?" A middle-aged man next to him couldn't help but ask when he saw this.

Yang Wudi shook his head, a trace of worry in his eyes: "As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. The medicine refined by the Poyi clan is too popular. This is certainly a good thing, but it also brings us a lot of trouble."

Since leaving the Haotian Sect, the situation of the Poyi Clan has become increasingly difficult.

Due to the exclusion of the Spirit Hall, many forces avoided them and were unwilling to cooperate with them.

In desperation, Yang Wudi could only lead his people to migrate far away to the Xingluo Empire, and only in Longxing City did they gradually get a chance to breathe.

The world of soul masters is not just about fighting and killing, but more about the human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Over the years, Yang Wudi has been recruited by many powerful forces. He himself knows that the Poyi Clan needs to find a new backer to gain a foothold in this ever-changing continent.

However, most of these forces are coveting the secret alchemy skills of the Po clan, which is undoubtedly the lifeblood of the Yang family for Yang Wudi.

Take the envoy of the eldest prince Davis just now, for example. He asked the Yang family to serve him for twenty years and to present him with a magic book on alchemy.

How could Yang Wudi agree to such an unreasonable request?

He felt that he had a good temper by not killing him on the spot.

"."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man subconsciously rubbed the corner of his clothes, a hesitant look appeared on his face, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Yang Wudi frowned slightly, "Yang Jiu, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Yang Jiu hesitated for a moment, took out a visiting card from his arms, and carefully handed it to Yang Wudi, stammering, "Master, this is from the Third Prince Dai Mubai."

"Dai Mubai?" Yang Wudi frowned and quickly searched for the name in his mind. He felt like he had heard of it somewhere.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and his eyes lit up instantly.

"It's him!"

Yang Wudi recalled that a month ago, when he went to Barak City to purchase medicinal materials, he saw a huge portrait at the entrance of the Great Fighting Spirit Arena.

The portrait showed a young boy, with a heroic look. Next to the portrait were a few elegant characters:

"The champion of the Continental Soul Master Elite Competition, Shrek Academy, captain Dai Mubai, the evil-eyed white tiger, seventeen years old, fifty-level combat soul king!"

When Yang Wudi first saw this portrait, he was shocked.

He became a Soul King at the age of seventeen. As far as he knew, Tang Hao did not have such an achievement at this age.

What a new generation to replace the old!
"Then let's meet." Yang Wudi nodded slightly and said calmly.

Yang Wudi had also heard about the competition between the princes of Xingluo. In his opinion, if nothing unexpected happened, Dai Mubai would most likely become the next Xingluo emperor.

"As long as the other party's demands are not too excessive and they don't have any intentions on my alchemy manual, joining the royal family is also a good way out for the Pozhi clan."

Yang Wudi pondered secretly in his heart, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
