Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Chapter 114 Seeds of Doubt

On the way back to the Sun-Moon Empire, the Sun-Moon Team saw a scene of corpses strewn all over the ground. Countless corpses were lying on the ground in all directions. Beside Jin Tianming, two black shadows were like loyal guards, protecting him closely behind them.

The killing continued, and countless black shadows shuttled through the scene like ghosts. Every time they shuttled through, a corpse fell from the sky. This bloody scene terrified all the members of the Sun and Moon Team. They were so scared that they could not move, fearing that they would be slaughtered by Jin Tianming's men.

At this time, the team leader Xu Ming's face was terribly gloomy. He could never have imagined that Emperor Tianhun and some forces would be so impatient to take action.

What shocked him even more was that the family behind Jin Tianming had such ability to send out so many protectors. This was even more incredible than those of the royal princes!

These situations must be reported to the emperor as soon as possible, otherwise if a catastrophe occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable. If possible, we may be able to try to win over the forces behind Jin Tianming.

Jin Tianming stared at the corpses expressionlessly, his eyes cold as if the bodies on the ground were nothing more than a pile of garbage. He turned to the person beside him and asked, "How long will it take? Have they sent out a lot of people?"

"Master Jinlong, besides the Tianhun Empire, there are probably subordinates from many other forces, such as Xingluo, Jiubao, etc."

"I understand." Jin Tianming nodded and said coldly, "When the time comes, return all their heads to their masters!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the subordinate disappeared instantly and went to collect the heads.

Jin Tianming retracted his gaze and turned back to look at Xu Ming: "Teacher, you continue to lead the team, and leave the rest of the minions to my people to deal with."

"Okay!" Xu Ming nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice, and then hurried forward to lead the team. He didn't dare to refuse at all. If he refused, he would probably be killed as well. Then, he would have nowhere to complain.

Jin Tianming thought to himself that he would not be able to rest in peace after this Soul Master Competition. He did not expect that trouble would come so soon. After returning to the Sun-Moon Empire, the emperor would surely come to find him. Things were getting more and more interesting.

"Master Hongchen, what kind of reward do you think I should give to a genius like Jin Tianming?" At this time, in the Sun and Moon Palace, the Sun and Moon Emperor summoned Jing Hongchen alone and couldn't help but ask, his eyes full of thirst for talents, as if to say that a genius like Jin Tianming must be obtained by the Sun and Moon Royal Family!

Jing Hongchen naturally understood what the Sun-Moon Emperor was thinking. Although he felt rather disdainful of this, he still said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I think you could reward him with some precious metals. Classmate Jin Tianming is extremely obsessed with soul guides."

"Is that so?" The Sun-Moon Emperor nodded seriously, then couldn't help but ask, "Master Hongchen, how much do you know about the family behind Jin Tianming?"

Hearing this, Jing Hongchen knew that the Sun Moon Emperor had finally gotten to the point of today's conversation. He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke the words he had already prepared in his mind, "Your Majesty, I know only a limited amount, but the family behind Jin Tianming must be extremely powerful. It seems..."

"It seems like what?" The Sun and Moon Emperor couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw Jing Hongchen was halfway through his words.

Jing Hongchen was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Their family has magical herbs!" These words were like a blockbuster bomb, causing huge waves in the heart of the Sun and Moon Emperor.

"What? You can get the magic grass!" Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo were both shocked when they heard Tian Mucheng's answer. They couldn't believe what Tian Mucheng had just said.

Tian Mucheng saw the two women so shocked and nodded seriously: "I still have some means in the family. I can get a magical herb or refine it into a pill. There is still a chance!"

"Is the immortal herb elixir the same as the Xuanshui elixir of the Xuanming Sect?" Han Ruoruo couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe!" Tian Mucheng didn't want to explain too much. His eyes fell on Zhang Lexuan and asked curiously, "Have you thought it through?" At this moment, Zhang Lexuan's mind was in a mess. This was the first time in her life that she was so at a loss. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

Finally, she asked tentatively, "Can this condition be put on hold for now? I want to go back to the academy to discuss it. Is that okay?"

"Okay." Tian Mucheng didn't refuse and nodded. He then took out a letter from the ring and handed it to Zhang Lexuan, explaining, "You'll probably be interested in the contents inside. You'd better take it back and read it slowly. If you want to contact me, you can find Mo Yan. He has the method to contact me."

"Okay." Zhang Lexuan nodded and took the envelope.

"Then we'll see each other next time, Miss Zhang Lexuan, and your sister who is bound by her own martial spirit." Tian Mucheng said goodbye to Zhang Lexuan, and did not forget to tease Han Ruoruo, then turned around and left with Xiao Xue.

Zhang Lexuan looked at the two people leaving and couldn't help but say, "If you ever want to come to the academy to study, Shrek Academy will always open its doors to you!"

When Tian Mucheng heard this, he did not stop, but just waved his hand. As to whether he heard it or not, only he knew.

Han Ruoruo looked at Tian Mucheng's back and couldn't help but complain: "He's just as bad as that Mo Yan guy!"

"I just said a few words, and you're so angry?" Zhang Lexuan put the envelope away and teased Han Ruoruo with a smile.

"Le Xuan!"

"Okay, okay~"

"..."

At night, Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo returned to the hotel and went back to their rooms to rest.

As soon as Zhang Lexuan returned to the hotel room, she couldn't wait to open the envelope. Tianmucheng's appearance today made her feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy and curiosity, so she was very curious about what was written in the envelope.

But the moment she opened the envelope, her expression changed drastically, and the terrifying Soul Saint cultivation around her instantly erupted, and countless cracks began to appear on the objects in the room!
"Le Xuan, what's wrong?" Han Ruoruo's worried voice came from outside the hotel room door.

Hearing Han Ruoruo's voice, Zhang Lexuan's murderous intent gradually dissipated. She adjusted her tone and replied, "There was a problem with my cultivation, but everything is fine now."

"Okay, remember to call me if you need anything!" Han Ruoruo, who was outside the door, heard the reminder and then returned to her room. Although she was a little confused, since her best friend was unwilling to say it, it would be inappropriate for her to ask further.

Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath and her eyes fell on the envelope on the ground. The murderous intent in her eyes had not completely faded. She suspected that the contents of the envelope were false, but the things written in it were extremely detailed, which made her start to doubt.

She kept telling herself in her heart that those were all fake. However, once the seeds of doubt were planted, they would eventually blossom and bear fruit.
