Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 153 Fallen Soul Master?

……

"You're hoping to find out from him if there's any way to fix your martial soul mutation defect, right?" Flander directly exposed Yu Xiaogang's little scheme.

Yu Xiaogang's expression was slightly unnatural, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but he did not deny it. "That is naturally one of the purposes."

"However, his martial spirit and his soul skills give me a dangerous and eerie feeling."

“What… do you want to say?” Flander asked.

"Devour." Yu Xiaogang unconsciously clenched his fist.

"Don't you know what kind of cultivation method this is?"

"Moreover, Xiao San and the others saw it. Xuan Ming's killing methods were very skilled; you could even say he was a professional assassin."

"And that night, after Zhu Zhuqing ran out, you had Dai Mubai chase after her. He saw it too. Xuanming killed two high-level Soul Masters with just one move. He didn't even see what happened."

"I doubt……"

"Xiao Gang!" Frande's tone darkened, and he couldn't help but interrupt Yu Xiaogang.

"You absolutely mustn't say things like that!"

Devouring—this is the cultivation method of the fallen!

By devouring and plundering the soul power of other soul masters through special secret methods, they forcibly enhance their own soul power. In this process, they will put a huge burden on their bodies. In order to bear that terrifying pressure, fallen soul masters have no choice but to devour the blood and energy of more people!
Fallen Soul Masters not only threaten the lives of Soul Masters, but also the lives of countless ordinary people!
Every time a Fallen Soul Master appears, it causes a tragedy involving at least a hundred people!

Therefore, once a Fallen Soul Master is discovered, they will be wanted and hunted down by the two great empires, the Spirit Hall, and the entire Soul Master world!

It's no exaggeration to say that everyone should kill him!

"I only have suspicions, I have no evidence." Seeing Flander's serious expression, Yu Xiaogang realized that he might have gone a bit too far and quickly explained.

"Xiao Gang!" Flander stood up.

"You want more evidence? Who is Xuanming anyway?"

"Not only does it have close ties with the Heaven Dou royal family, but it also has the background of Poison Douluo, the endorsement of the seven major families of the Great Soul Arena, and a special relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"To call him a fallen soul master? Is this an attack on him personally?"

"This is smearing these four major powers! Are you out of your mind?!"

From birth to the present, almost all of Xuanming's information can be investigated, especially after his martial soul awakening and joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. What he did and who he could contact were all under the control of the Heaven Dou royal family!
Now they're suddenly saying he might have used the cultivation methods of an evil spirit master. Is this an accusation against Xuanming?
This is a false accusation against the Heavenly Dou royal family!

Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the seven major families of the Great Soul Arena have invested so much in Xuanming. Now that this news has suddenly appeared, what will everyone think?
Do you think they were unaware?
Yu Xiaogang frowned, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Flander, I understand your concerns, but the various abnormalities of Xuanming are really hard for me to let go of. That devouring power is definitely not something that ordinary soul skills can possess. If we don't find out the truth, what if he really is a fallen soul master? Once his power grows, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Stop!" Flander raised his hand to interrupt.

"Xiaogang, whether this is true or false, you'd better stay away from it!"

"Which of these four major powers doesn't have connections and influence? If there really were a fallen soul master, how could they be completely unaware? Once this suspicion spreads, the four major powers will definitely do everything in their power to investigate the source in order to prove their innocence. At that time, you know what will happen!"

Offending these four major forces at the same time means that even the reputation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will not be able to protect Yu Xiaogang!
In fact, to distance themselves from the situation, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan might even have to take the initiative to eliminate its own members first!
……

Tiandou City.

More than a month later, Xuanming returned to this place again.

Qin Ming took the Royal Fighting Team back to the academy for a debriefing activity, and Xuan Ming brought A Rou towards Yue Xuan.

Although he had lived in Tiandou City for many years, he spent most of his time cultivating and was not familiar with the place. He only knew how to get to the Crown Prince's Residence and Yuexuan. It would be more convenient to ask Tang Yuehua for help in finding a place for Arou to settle down, as she was familiar with the area.

"Do you need a yard?"

Xuanming brought Arou to Tang Yuehua's room and explained her situation and needs.

“That’s a minor issue, but…” Tang Yuehua’s gaze swept back and forth between Xuanming and Arou.

"What's wrong?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

"No, it's nothing." Tang Yuehua's expression was somewhat unnatural.

"Let me inquire for you. We should have news in a couple of days."

"By the way, His Highness the Crown Prince came by before and said that if you come back, you should go to the Crown Prince's residence. He has something to discuss with you."

"Now?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

“Go there now. If you keep putting it off, and he comes knocking on your door, you two…” Tang Yuehua hesitated.

Even she couldn't quite understand the relationship between Xuanming and Xue Qinghe!

“Alright.” Xuanming looked at Arou.

"You rest here, I'm going out for a bit."

"Mm." Arou nodded gently.

Watching Xuanming leave, Tang Yuehua once again turned her probing gaze to Arou, "When...did this happen?"

Arou was taken aback. "Huh?"

"It shouldn't be something that happened this month," Tang Yuehua said.

"Has it been a long time?"

"Hmm...it's been a long time, hasn't it?" Arou said hesitantly.

They met Xuanming six years ago, but the atmosphere wasn't very good back then.

Tang Yuehua sighed, "Just as I thought. This boy never gives the girls around him a chance, no matter how proactive they are or how jealous they are."

“I had some suspicions before that he might have some psychological problems due to his past experiences.”

"Psychological problems?" Arou looked puzzled.

“Some people, if they lack maternal love during their growth, will develop special feelings for older women who can provide care when they grow up. This feeling is what people call the Oedipus complex. Xuanming, this child, has been lonely since childhood and has focused on cultivation for many years. He does indeed have some deficiencies in terms of emotions,” Tang Yuehua said.

“He doesn’t resist friendly closeness, and he wants it himself, but because of his past experiences, he lacks a sense of security and is instinctively wary of anything that tries to get close to him. He is unable to express these things honestly, so he often seems awkward.”

"But he is definitely a very good person, and if you treat him sincerely, he will never let you down."

"Betrayed?" Arou was taken aback by Tang Yuehua's sudden words, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly waved her hand to explain, "Madam Yuehua, you misunderstand. Xuanming and I are not in the kind of relationship you think we have."

Tang Yuehua raised her eyebrows slightly, a meaningful smile on her lips. She gently patted Arou's hand and said, "Don't be shy, young lady. Although I am in Yuexuan, I still have some ability to judge people. Xuanming seems indifferent to everyone, but he looks at you differently. Moreover, this is the first time he has brought a woman to Yuexuan in his life. He has never done so before."

Arou's face grew increasingly hot, and she stammered incoherently, "Madam, it's really not what you think..."

Not wanting Tang Yuehua to misunderstand, Arou quickly explained in detail her contact and relationship with Xuanming. Although Xuanming's attitude towards her was somewhat special, there was another reason for it. Their relationship was definitely not abnormal!
