Douluo: The Son of Martial Soul, Deceiving All the Women

Chapter 309 The Grand Duke of the Underworld: A trap? I don't believe it!
At this point, Zhu Zhuyun paused, her expression becoming somewhat hesitant.

"Besides, we not only have Zhu Qing's connections, but we also have me. Don't worry, Bai Yu promised me that she would definitely keep the Zhu family safe."

"what!?"

Upon hearing Zhu Zhuyun's words, both the Grand Duke of Youming and the First Grand Duke were dumbfounded, their gazes becoming extremely strange.

"Hey, Zhu Yun, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you have some kind of relationship with that Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?"

Zhu Zhuyun's eyes darted around, and she thought to herself, "It's a bit shameful to actively seduce someone. I absolutely can't say anything. I need to find someone to take the fall for me!"

Little sister, considering how good I've been to you before, you'll take the blame for me.

Then Zhu Zhuyun's gaze turned somewhat resentful, and she said in a mournful tone:

"It's all because of my dear sister. She set me up to get revenge on me, and by some twist of fate, I ended up getting involved with that guy Baiyu."

"However, although our relationship was an accident, Baiyu has been quite good to me. He not only has no prejudice against me, but has also given me a lot of good things."

"Although my seclusion these past few years was fake, I was indeed digesting what he gave me."

"Father, it's been a long time since you've paid attention to my strength, hasn't it? Look at me now, how strong am I?"

As soon as Zhu Zhuyun finished speaking, she immediately summoned her martial soul to possess her body, and six soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—floated around her.

At the same time, a powerful aura belonging to a high-level Soul Emperor burst forth directly from Zhu Zhuyun's body.

Although this oppressive aura felt like a gentle breeze to the Grand Duke of Youming and the First Grand Duke, they were still terrified by Zhu Zhuyun's strength.

After all, they still remembered that Zhu Zhuyun was only level 46 when she participated in the Soul Master Competition.

Judging from her current soul power fluctuations, she is definitely a high-level Soul Emperor, with soul power exceeding level 65!
In just over three years, he's already leveled up by more than twenty? This isn't even the Soul Warrior or Soul Master stage; even with medicine, it wouldn't be this fast, right?

However, upon further reflection, they realized that since this was the work of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, it wasn't so surprising after all.

After all, putting aside his incomprehensible strength, just look at their Zhu Zhuqing. Don't the two of them, as her father and grandfather, know what kind of talent and strength that girl has?

She only has a level seven innate soul power, which is even less than her older sister's. Although she cultivates diligently, some things cannot be accomplished simply through hard work; talent is also a factor!
But after the news of the Soul Master Competition came back, they suddenly discovered that Zhu Qing's soul power had caught up with her sister's.

This abnormally rapid rate of improvement is clearly not something that can be achieved through cultivation; it must be directly related to that Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

Given Zhu Zhuqing's precedent, it's not hard to understand why Zhu Zhuyun is making such rapid progress.

After figuring it out, the Grand Duke of the Underworld put away his surprise and became somewhat suspicious, his gaze sweeping back and forth over Zhu Zhuyun.

He already believed most of what his daughter said; the only thing he didn't believe was that Zhu Qing would set a trap for her sister.

It wasn't that he, as the father, looked down on his second daughter, but rather that Zhu Qing had never shown this talent since she was a child.

On the contrary, his eldest daughter, Zhu Zhuyun, is very skilled in this area.

So, the situation back then couldn't have been reversed, could it? Did Zhu Yun, the older sister, set a trap for her younger sister and then steal her man?

Seeing her father's increasingly strange expression, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but stomp her foot and said with a mixture of embarrassment and anger:

"Dad, why are you looking at me like that? We're talking about serious matters now, what have you been thinking about?"

Upon hearing Zhu Zhuyun's voice, the Grand Duke of Youming coughed lightly and turned his gaze to the side. "Ahem, since we have the protection of the White Fish Saint, then my Zhu family doesn't need to leave."

"I'll go and inform the clansmen later, and tell them to stay at home obediently during this time and not to do anything rash."

The Duke of Youming sounded excited; he was overjoyed that his family could be protected and wouldn't be in danger.

As for how this protection came about, and whether the Crown Prince of Xingluo had a hat on his head, he couldn't care less.

After all, matters of love between men and women are things that no one can really explain, right?

However, although the Zhu family has a way out, it is hard to guarantee that the Xingluo royal family will not force them to leave with them.

After all, without the Zhu family, the Dai family would lose a powerful trump card—a martial soul fusion technique. Therefore, they might not let the Zhu family stay.

The royal family has two titles, and if they take a hard line, it seems the Zhu family can't resist.
Thinking of this, the Duke of Youming's expression changed, and his brows furrowed deeply.

"If we don't go with the royal family, they probably won't be willing. After all, just considering the martial soul fusion skill, they wouldn't want us to stay."

“In this way, I will divide the family into two groups. Father, you and Zhuyun will each lead a team and go out to hide.”

"The Tian Dou attack is fierce now, and the royal family can't hold out for long. As long as we can hide for a while, our Zhu family will be safe."

Upon hearing the words of the Underworld Duke, Zhu Zhuyun shook her head and a smile appeared on her face.

"Dad, there's no need to go to so much trouble. I've already said that as long as we stay at home peacefully, no one will dare to cause us any trouble."

"Do you know why I know so much about the outside world without ever leaving home? It's because Sister Lingyuan also lives in my courtyard."

"As long as Sister Lingyuan is here, she can ensure the safety of our Zhu family!"

The Grand Duke of the Underworld blinked, a huge question mark appearing on his forehead.

"Zhu Yun, who exactly is this Sister Ling Yuan you mentioned? What abilities does she have to ensure the safety of our Zhu family?"

"However, this name... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before, Ling... Ling Yuan? Could it be Elder Ling Yuan Douluo of the Spirit Hall?"

The Duke of the Underworld's expression changed drastically, and his voice became somewhat shrill.

After all, his idea was quite frightening. He had no idea that a Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall had suddenly walked into his house!

If they can't think straight, wouldn't this immediately lead to the extermination of their entire clan?
The old man standing to the side also trembled slightly, plucking out a wisp of his beard, his expression somewhat terrified.

Seeing the two of them, Zhu Zhuyun rolled her eyes and said helplessly:

"It's not what you think. When Tian Dou and Xing Luo went to war, Bai Yu sent Sister Ling Yuan to my place."

"Besides delivering a letter to me, Sister Lingyuan's task is to stay and protect my safety, so that the royal family members don't suddenly go crazy and affect me."

“Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the Zhu family, and Sister Lingyuan wouldn’t care about the Zhu family’s life or death.”

"But after my tireless efforts, I finally persuaded Sister Lingyuan to protect our family."
