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

Chapter 205 The Frozen Crisis
……

Qibaozhai.

At Liu Erlong's request, Ning Rongrong contacted the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's people in Tiandou City and brought the news back to the sect.

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong also rushed over immediately.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and her surging soul power, and learning about what happened at Shrek Academy, Gu Rong felt his brain was a bit overwhelmed.

Xuanming actually managed to get involved with Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and even managed to get her to take such a huge risk to lead him into the forbidden area of ​​the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to steal their treasure.

Moreover, the jade crown was frozen!
Although he had never fought Yu Luomian, he had fought the old dragon Yu Yuanzhen.

The power of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is extremely terrifying. The title of the number one beast spirit in the world is not just for show. Although Yu Luomian is only a Soul Douluo, if a real fight were to break out, even a Title Douluo would have a hard time defeating him in a short period of time.

If it's a life-or-death struggle, it's not impossible for them to perish together!
But now tell him that Yu Luomian was frozen by Xuanming without any power to resist!

Even now, the snow falling in half of Tiandou City is an aftershock of that battle.

“Fengzhi, I don’t quite understand this. Can you understand it?” Gu Rong asked.

Ning Fengzhi frowned. "It seems we all misjudged him."

"Perhaps, he was a member of the Spirit Hall from the very beginning."

“No, Dad, Xuanming isn’t a member of the Spirit Hall,” Ning Rongrong said.

"He only knows the Pope."

Ning Fengzhi was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

“I asked him, and he told me that during that autumn hunt, which was during the months he disappeared in Sunset Forest, he was kidnapped by Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall and taken to Spirit City amidst the chaos of the beast tide,” Ning Rongrong said.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo?" Ning Fengzhi looked puzzled.

“Yes, he was kidnapped back then. After escaping from the traffickers, he encountered Poison Douluo, who was being chased by the two Title Douluos, Chrysanthemum and Ghost. Then, in order to save his life, he released his innate domain, and that's probably when he was targeted,” Ning Rongrong said.

"No wonder." Gu Rong looked at Ning Fengzhi.

"I knew it was impossible for Dugu Bo to bring back a child out of nowhere. Now I know what happened."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School investigated Xuanming's affairs thoroughly back then, but they couldn't find any connection between him and Dugu Bo.

Ning Fengzhi was silent for a moment, then...

“After arriving in Wuhun City, the Pope helped him resolve his martial soul defect,” Ning Rongrong said.

"However, you all know his temper."

"In addition, there were some conflicts between the Pope and other high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall at the time. He was almost killed in Spirit City, and afterwards, he was sent back to Heaven Dou City."

"He didn't say exactly what happened. As for his mission in coming to Heaven Dou City, his first task was to keep Poison Douluo in check, and then to gain a foothold in the Heaven Dou Empire as much as possible, so as to cooperate with the Spirit Hall's grand plan in the future. As for what grand plan it was, he didn't say either."

Gu Rong's eyes twitched slightly. "He's not trying to cooperate with any grand plan right now."

Because of the auction incident, Xuanming is now on the verge of a complete falling out with the seven major families, and his relationship with the Heavenly Dou royal family has also become strained.

He has fought for so many years in the Great Soul Arena to achieve this status, and now he has lost it all on his own!

Ning Fengzhi sighed softly, "The changes involved are probably far more complicated than we imagined. Xuanming may seem eccentric, but he is actually very meticulous. His outburst at the auction may have been for a deeper purpose."

Gu Rong stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Feng Zhi, are you saying he did it on purpose? But what good would it do him? By making enemies of the seven great families and the Heaven Dou royal family, he'll have a very difficult time in Heaven Dou City in the future."

Ning Rongrong lowered her head and said, "He was still planning to sever ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"What?" Gu Rong was taken aback.

"He said he needed to discuss the specifics with his father," Ning Rongrong said softly, biting her lip.

Ning Fengzhi patted Ning Rongrong on the shoulder and comforted her, "Rongrong, don't worry. Since he dared to do this, he must have a plan to deal with it."

"Let's deal with Shrek's problem first."

……

Arou's little courtyard.

After Xue Qinghe left, Bibi Dong didn't stay long and soon returned to the Spirit Temple.

Although this incident has rendered her power ineffective, it also provides an opportunity to expose those opportunists. After this ordeal, as long as she eliminates the Golden Crocodile and crushes the Hall of Worship, she will no longer need to be controlled by Qian Daoliu.

"Speaking of which, do you know the whereabouts of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?" Xuanming asked.

Arou's eyes changed slightly. "You don't actually want that thing's spirit ring, do you?"

"Mm." Xuanming nodded.

"It is very important to me."

Arou hesitated for a moment, "There have indeed been traces of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Great Forest, but that thing is too dangerous. It is far more dangerous than the Human-Faced Demon Spider."

“I know, can we find it?” Xuanming asked.

“It’s difficult,” Arou said. “The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is very secretive. It fought with Erming a thousand years ago and was driven out of the core area by Erming. Its whereabouts are unknown after that, but it should still be active in the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast Zone.”

"Sister Bing, do you have a solution?" Xuanming asked.

"A solution..." the Ice Dragon King thought for a moment.

"Yes, but it's very troublesome."

"You absolutely need that thing?"

"To be on the safe side, I will only enter the City of Slaughter after I obtain the soul ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger," Xuanming said.

After a moment of silence, the Ice Dragon King said, "Then let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Now?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

“Of course, we don’t know when we’ll be able to find it,” the Ice Dragon King said.

“I’ll go there now and ask them to help me look for it first.”

"Moreover, your soul core also needs some assistance."

Xuanming's Yin-Yang Soul Core was forcibly condensed by her and the Fire Dragon King. He himself could not fully control it yet, and it was the first time they had condensed such a thing. There were many unstable parts, so they needed to find someone to help them.

“Alright.” Xuanming sat up.

"I'll say goodbye to them and leave tomorrow."

"Arou, you guys go to Qibaozhai to order first, I'll go and bring Lingling and the others over."

"Ah."

……

Shrek Academy.

After discussing it with Yu Xiaogang, Ning Fengzhi brought Gu Rong to rescue Yu Luomian.

"Did that kid really do this?"

Looking at the frozen jade crown before him, Gu Rong's expression turned somber.

"Uncle Gu, is there a problem?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"This is a big problem." Gu Rong frowned deeply.

"This is not a simple freeze, but a cage. The extreme cold has completely frozen Yu Luomian's body. The cold air is intertwined with his own soul power. If we break this cage rashly, we will only kill Yu Luomian as well."

"And...did you try to break this thing?"

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback. "We did try it once using the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, but we failed."

“No wonder, the chill in this cage has already started to leak out. In no more than three days, this cage will disappear on its own,” Gu Rong said.

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed slightly. "What about my second uncle?"

"They're doomed," Gu Rong said calmly.

"This cage was originally stable, and the extreme cold power within it circulated according to specific rules. Although it would cause Yu Luomian unimaginable pain, it would not harm his life."

"But your rash actions have disrupted the stable cycle, causing the circulation of this icy energy to become chaotic. What was originally a simple blockade is now actually damaging his body. He will die when the cage disappears."

"Even if Yu Luomian is rescued now, she will most likely be crippled."

Upon hearing Gu Rong's words, Yu Xiaogang was struck dumb. He swayed and almost lost his balance. His face was deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with pain and self-blame. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have rashly tried to break this ice."

Ning Fengzhi sighed softly and comforted him, "Master, blaming yourself now won't help. Let's think of other ways to make amends."

Gu Rong stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "At present, it seems almost impossible to fully restore Yu Luomian's body, but perhaps we can try to stabilize the chaotic cold energy in his body so that he doesn't become crippled. However, this process will be extremely difficult and will require the help of a powerful healing-type soul master."

"Uncle Gu, am I not skilled enough?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

Gu Rong shook his head. "That's not enough. Your main ability is amplification, but he needs pure healing power."

“This extreme cold power is too terrifying. If there hadn’t been chaos, I would have been confident that I could have rescued Yu Luomian without harming him. But now, the icy energy is in disarray. During my process of breaking the ice, Yu Luomian’s body will suffer a great impact. If I don’t have a strong enough healing power, Yu Luomian will definitely become crippled.”

“Healing… Nine-Heart Begonia?” Yu Xiaogang said.

"Sect Master Ning, I heard that Senior Ye Lan of the Nine Heart Begonia is in Heaven Dou City?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "Ye Lan passed away two years ago due to heart disease."

Ye Lan has suffered too many blows. If it weren't for her inability to let go of her granddaughter, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.

Over the years, Ye Lingling and Xuan Ming got together again. Ye Lan felt relieved, thinking that her child had been entrusted to someone else, and she couldn't hold on any longer.

Because Ye Lan entrusted Ye Lingling to Xuan Ming on her deathbed, he could never say anything about Ning Rongrong's matter.
