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

Chapter 206 The Situation Has Changed
……

Tiandou Royal Academy.

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue had just met, and Yuexuan's meeting wouldn't be until evening. Xuanxiang thought for a moment and decided to come over first to tell Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling that it was almost dinner time, so he would take them into the city for a meal.

Are you going out again?

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, one on each side, affectionately linked arms with Xuanming.

Upon hearing that he planned to leave Tiandou City again for a while, Dugu Yan pouted slightly, a hint of reluctance appearing on her face, "You just came back not long ago, why are you leaving again?"

Although Ye Lingling did not speak, her eyes were full of longing as she gently leaned on Xuan Ming's shoulder.

"This matter is very important. The situation in Tiandou City is about to become very chaotic. Be careful," Xuanming said.

"I think you should be more careful," Dugu Yan said, pursing her lips with a worried look.

Her grandfather was infamous, and no one dared to mess with her. Ye Lingling and she were like sisters, inseparable, so there was no need to worry about her safety.

However, she couldn't count how many people Xuanming had offended by making all these commotions.

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry," Xuanming said.

"By the way, have you thought about what to do after graduating from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

With Dugu Yan and the others' strength, they could have graduated long ago. They stayed in the academy for the Soul Master Competition.

However, they will inevitably graduate after the Soul Master Competition ends.

"Graduation?" Dugu Yan tilted her head, her eyes filled with thought.

"I really didn't think about it, Lingling, what about you?"

Ye Lingling gently raised her head and gripped Xuanming's right hand tightly. "I'll stay with you."

Dugu Yan's eyes twitched slightly, feigning anger: "Lingling, that's not fair."

"But that's exactly what I plan to do," Ye Lingling said with a gentle smile. "Wherever he is, that's where I will be."

Xuanming remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "No."

Ye Lingling was taken aback, her eyes filled with confusion: "Why?"

"After the tournament ends, I'm going to the City of Slaughter," Xuanming said.

"The City of Slaughter?" Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exclaimed in unison.

"Why did you go to that kind of place?" Dugu Yan asked anxiously.

Xuanming paused for a moment, then handed the letter that he had shown to Bibi Dong and the others to Dugu Yan and Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling took the letter and quickly began to read it. As their gazes moved down, their expressions became increasingly solemn.

Ye Lingling gripped Xuan Ming's sleeve tightly, "You didn't kill any innocent people. The life-or-death battles in the Great Soul Arena were fair and square, they know that!"

Many people know about Xuanming's martial soul problem, but this is not what he wanted, and he has never indiscriminately killed innocent people.

In that arena of life and death, whose hands have not been stained with blood?

Stepping onto that field means that life and death are in the hands of fate, and each person has to rely on their own abilities!
"That's not how it is." Dugu Yan's face was extremely pale, and her brows were furrowed.

"Everyone knows this is okay, but we can't say it outright."

The term "fallen" refers to those madmen who have no moral compass and indiscriminately kill innocent people in order to elevate themselves.

Xuanming's actions cannot be equated with those of the Fallen, but once this matter blows up, countless busybodies will inevitably add fuel to the fire and wantonly smear him.

At that time, even white can be smeared black!
Not to mention Xuanming, who is already in a gray area!
"Who did this?" Dugu Yan's eyes turned cold, revealing a ruthless edge.

"I had my grandfather wipe out their entire family!"

"Don't kill entire families so easily." Xuanming patted Dugu Yan's hand helplessly.

"But this is clearly an attempt to smear you!" Dugu Yan said indignantly. "Once things escalate, you won't be able to defend yourself!"

"If you can be called a fallen one for this, then what about the Spirit Hall, which went to war with the Clear Sky Sect for its own selfish interests, causing countless families to be destroyed and people to die?" Ye Lingling's eyes were red, and her voice was choked with sobs.

"What are two great empires anyway?"

Are they really good people?

Xuanming gently pulled Ye Lingling into his arms. "Don't cry, it's okay."

"This is exactly the effect I wanted."

"You want it?" Ye Lingling looked up, her eyes glistening with tears.

"why?"

Xuanming gently stroked Ye Lingling's hair, "Only if they all want to kill me can I kill them with a clear conscience."

"..."

……

After entering the city, Xuanming led Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling towards Qibaozhai.

He wasn't sure how long this trip would last, but it would take at least a month. During this time, there might be some problems, so he needed to talk to Ning Fengzhi and ask him to keep an eye on things.

"What kind of posture is this?"

Upon arriving at Qibaozhai, Xuanming saw Ning Fengzhi and Liu Erlong's group waiting there.

Ning Fengzhi paused for a moment, then stepped forward and briefly explained the current situation of the Jade Crown to Xuan Ming.

Because Yu Xiaogang and the others used the Golden Sacred Dragon to disrupt the Frosty Winter Prison, but failed to break through it in one go, the cold air spread wildly.

To rescue Yu Luomian, a Soul Master with powerful healing abilities is needed to provide treatment.

"I dont go."

Before Xuanming could say anything, Ye Lingling immediately refused.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Tianheng.

Yu Tianheng stepped forward, his face earnest: "Lingling, that's my second grandfather, he's now..."

"I'm not going." Ye Lingling clung tightly to Xuan Ming's side, her eyes cold and unwavering.

Yu Tianheng was taken aback, not expecting Ye Lingling to be so resolute. But considering Yu Luomian's current critical situation, he had no choice but to speak again, his tone filled with anxiety: "Lingling, the situation is extremely critical. Second Grandfather is trapped inside. Every moment that drags on increases the danger. If you are willing..."

"I'm not going!" Ye Lingling's voice turned colder, as icy as ice.

“If it were anyone else, I could help you out of respect for you, but this person is absolutely out of the question!” “This…” Yu Tianheng looked at Dugu Yan anxiously.

"Yanzi, you..."

"Yu Tianheng, do you know how your second grandfather became like this?" Dugu Yan asked coldly, her eyes filled with accusation.

"My second uncle said he was assassinated," Yu Tianheng said, looking bewildered.

"Ambush?" Dugu Yan glanced coldly at Yu Xiaogang, her eyes full of mockery.

"You'd better understand the situation before deciding whether or not to ask for help."

After saying that, Dugu Yan and the others walked straight into Qibaozhai, leaving Yu Tianheng standing there dumbfounded.

"Second Uncle, what's going on?" Yu Tianheng asked, puzzled.

Although Ye Lingling is introverted and aloof, she is not a heartless person. She often doesn't mind helping even strangers. This is the first time he has ever seen her refuse so bluntly.

"Master, you all explain to him, I'll go in and try to persuade him." Ning Fengzhi nodded to Yu Xiaogang and his group, and walked into Qibaozhai with Gu Rong.

Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, then said, "Tianheng, I just received the news about this myself."

“Xuanming broke into the forbidden area of ​​the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and stole the treasure that our family has guarded for thousands of years.”

"His second uncle came to arrest him, which is why he was frozen in ice."

"A forbidden treasure?" Yu Tianheng was taken aback.

"Isn't that a legend?"

legend?

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, who had just walked a short distance, exchanged a glance.

So even the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan themselves didn't know what they had lost?

……

Inside Qibaozhai, in a private room.

Arou and her group, who had already ordered their food, were waiting early. Ning Rongrong also rushed in after receiving the news.

"Powerful healing soul masters are rare, but with your connections, you shouldn't be unable to find one, right?"

The door opened, and Xuanming, Ning Fengzhi, and the others walked in.

“Of course we can find them, but the opportunity to make the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan owe us a favor isn’t something that comes around all the time,” Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

Powerful healing-type Soul Masters are indeed extremely rare, but with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's capabilities, this is not a difficult task.

However, now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Xuanming are at odds, and Yu Luomian is the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, if something happens to him, given that old dragon's temper, the matter will inevitably escalate to an irreconcilable point.

It's no secret that Ye Lingling and Xuan Ming have a special relationship. If they can smooth things over in this matter, at least he will have room to mediate.

“If you’re hoping to play peacemaker, don’t get your hopes up too high. This matter can’t be resolved,” Xuanming said.

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly. "Are you really planning to flip the table?"

Xuanming casually handed the two threatening letters to Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong.

The two exchanged a glance, opened the envelope, and quickly began to read.

“This…” Gu Rong’s expression changed.

"Do you think there's still room for negotiation?" Xuanming sat down, and Arou went out to call people to serve the dishes.

“If you give way, there will definitely be room for maneuver,” Ning Fengzhi said.

"But thinking about it, it's probably impossible."

A clear threat!

If the seven major families hadn't reached this point, he could still have tried his best, since Xuanming cares a lot about his friends.

But now that the other side is bringing up this very issue, it's practically the same as a complete falling out.

"What do you plan to do?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

“They’re only sending threatening messages now, which means they haven’t made up their minds yet. Otherwise, they would have told me in person,” Xuanming said.

"But since they've already set their sights on this, it's only a matter of time."

"Are you planning to deliberately ignite this trouble?" Ning Fengzhi frowned.

"There are other ways to cover this up, there's no need..."

“There’s no need,” Xuanming said.

Ning Fengzhi was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Xuanming's relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is well-known. Once this matter is blown up, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not be able to remain unscathed!

"Do what needs to be done," Xuanming said.

"I'm telling you in advance just so you can be prepared."

"Although you have ulterior motives towards me, I won't take advantage of you too much for Rongrong's sake."

Ning Fengzhi paused, then asked, "Will the Pope be involved in this?"

“Yes,” Xuanming said.

"Which side are you on?" Gu Rong couldn't help but ask.

Xuan thought for a moment, "It was always like that before, but it's not anymore."

"In the future... I will probably become the target of everyone's criticism."

Previously, he was affiliated with Dugu Bo and was close to Xue Qinghe. Because of Xue Qinghe, he became friends with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. And because of Xue Qinghe, he met Tang Yuehua.

Then, because of his performance in the Great Soul Arena, he was regarded as a cash cow and was promoted.

Ultimately, it's because everyone feels they can control him and don't need to worry about him getting out of control, and his existence aligns with the interests of all parties.

But next, his biggest "weak point" is about to explode, and he will become uncontrollable. Not only will he fail to bring more benefits to everyone, but he will also cause huge losses.

The situation has changed.

Yesterday's "darling of everyone" may become tomorrow's "hated by everyone".
