Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

After traveling for several days, Yang Ping'an, dressed in black, finally arrived in front of Tian Dou City.

This is the first time I've come to Heaven Dou City since the Soul Master Tournament years ago.

Although Tiandou City still looked lively at this moment, it also seemed to be filled with solemnity, and even entering and leaving the city gates was much more troublesome than before.

After Yang Ping'an took out his old Soul Master certificate, he went directly into Heaven Dou City. The Soul Master certificate was from many years ago, and it only showed that he was a Soul Master. It didn't look particularly conspicuous.

However, as the highest profession in Douluo Continent, Soul Masters can travel freely throughout the entire continent as long as they show their Soul Master credentials. At least no city would dare to exclude Soul Masters. The only difference is that the patrols will be relatively stricter.

Yang Ping'an simply checked into a hotel at random, ate something, and then began to rest.

Yang Ping'an's purpose in coming to Tian Dou City was very clear: to find Tang Hao. However, what Yang Ping'an did not know was that as soon as he entered the city, news of his arrival had already spread to those who were interested. Moreover, almost a month had passed since the original Soul Hunting Operation. Although the Soul Master world was in turmoil, it had gradually begun to calm down, and at least it no longer had any impact on ordinary people.

At night, Yang Ping'an transformed into a black shadow and quickly left the hotel. As for finding information about Tang Hao, he probably couldn't do without the Power Clan, especially without Titan, the loyal hound.

However, after Yang Ping'an toured the Power Clan, he found virtually nothing. Not only was Titan absent, but even Taino and Tailong were nowhere to be found; only some ordinary disciples remained.

Surprisingly, the Power Clan stopped crafting hidden weapons and only made ordinary weapons.

Yang Ping'an grabbed a member of the Power Clan at random. It seemed that the person lived relatively close to the clan leader Titan and appeared to be quite capable.

Upon seeing Yang Ping'an, the man's face showed only a moment of terror. Before he could even summon his martial soul and soul rings, Yang Ping'an's giant hand had already gripped his neck tightly, suppressing all his soul power. He couldn't even summon his martial soul; it was definitely a forceful suppression achieved through sheer strength and power.

Yang Ping'an simply asked, "Tell me, where has Titan gone? Why isn't he with the Power Clan? Also, have you seen Tang San?"

The person in front of me could only sob, and because his neck was being gripped by a tremendous force, he could only shake his head desperately, unable to make any sound.

Yang Ping'an was taken aback: "I can let go, but if you make any sound, I'll immediately snap your neck."

As Yang Ping'an loosened his grip slightly, the man slowly breathed a sigh of relief, even panting heavily. But faced with Yang Ping'an's god-like demeanor, he quickly began to explain.

"My lord, our clan leader has already gone out, and the young master went out with him."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did those two go?"

The man was initially hesitant, but Yang Ping'an glared at him, and he seemed to tremble all over, his body shaking uncontrollably. In the end, he could only stammer, "The clan leader took the young master to Longxing City, and they have been gone for more than ten days."

Yang Ping'an's face was icy: "Longxing City, that's getting interesting. Have you seen Tang Hao? Did he go with you?"

The man shook his head: "We have never seen this Tang Hao you mentioned. The Power Clan has never had such a guest."

Yang Ping'an thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then you're of no value."

After saying that, he tightened his right hand and snapped his neck without making a sound or breathing.

Yang Ping'an immediately transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into the night, this time heading directly to the Spirit Hall branch in Heaven Dou City.

Although the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City has been closed since the Soul Hunting Operation, and even the entire Spirit Hall branch has stopped receiving anyone.

But with Yang Ping'an's strength, a large hall couldn't stop him at all, and he arrived inside the Spirit Hall in an instant.

Salas was reviewing documents that evening when he was suddenly startled: "Who dares to infiltrate the Spirit Hall?"

Before he could speak again, Yang Ping'an had already emerged from the darkness.

Although Yang Ping'an's physique and appearance have changed somewhat over the years, Salas, a top-tier Soul Douluo, recognized him at a glance.

"It's you, Yang Ping'an. I didn't expect you to come to the Spirit Hall."

Yang Ping'an simply said, "It's normal for me to be here, right? There are a few things I need you to handle. That should be fine."

Although Salas was somewhat displeased with Yang Ping'an's tone, he spoke calmly out of respect for Chrysanthemum Douluo: "Speak your mind. You are Elder Chrysanthemum's disciple, and Elder Chrysanthemum has already given instructions."

Yang Ping'an nodded: "Alright, there should still be quite a few people in the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City. Have you found any news about Tang San or Tang Hao recently?"

Salas shook his head: "Tang Hao has been missing for a long time. There has been no news of him for more than a year. Tang San did appear recently and shone brightly at Shrek Academy. However, he was protected by Titan and was in Heaven Dou City, so we dared not take any action. But now it seems that he has disappeared."

Yang Ping'an simply nodded: "Whether it's Tang San, Tang Hao, or even Titan reappearing, notify me immediately. You should know where I live."

Salas was startled, but he simply nodded quietly. Although he was the bishop of the Spirit Hall branch of Heaven Dou City, he dared not provoke the powerful Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Yang Ping'an continued, "Immediately notify the Pope that a large number of people resisting the Spirit Hall are gathering in Longxing City. Let her handle it."

Saraston was immediately taken aback, never expecting that Yang Ping'an, a mere Soul Master, would dare to address the Pope so directly: "This matter is of great importance. Should we inform Elder Ju first, and then have Elder Ju relay the message?"

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "What's the difference? Just tell the Pope, she knows how to handle it."

"Salas, although Chrysanthemum Douluo is my master, my relationship with the Spirit Hall is merely one of cooperation, not one of subordination."

Salas could only nod helplessly; he couldn't pry too much into the affairs of the Spirit Hall's higher-ups.

Yang Ping'an continued, "Please inform Senior Ghost Leopard Douluo that I would like to meet with the person behind Heaven Dou City; there are some things I need to discuss."

Salas stood up abruptly, his face filled with a hint of fear, and he couldn't help but shout, "Yang Ping'an, how do you know about Elder Ghost Leopard? This is a top secret of the Spirit Hall. Even Elder Ju has no right to tell you."

Especially as his words were accompanied by immense pressure, the aura of a top-tier Soul Douluo was fully revealed.

Yang Ping'an didn't care about the pressure and just snorted: "There's nothing strange about it. I just met with Elder Ghost Leopard a while ago and we even have some cooperation. Besides, you only need to pass on these words, and he will naturally understand."

Salas stared intently at Yang Ping'an, never expecting that this person could completely ignore his pressure. It seemed that he had grown extremely powerfully over the years.

Salas's expression changed several times before he withdrew his soul power and slowly said, "It's only been five years, but I didn't expect you to have grown to this extent. As expected of Elder Ju's disciple, I underestimated you. I will inform Elder Ghost Leopard as soon as possible, but I will also report this matter to His Holiness the Pope."

Yang Ping'an didn't say anything, but transformed into a figure and quickly disappeared into the night, while Salas's face turned a bit ashen.

After returning to the hotel, Yang Ping'an began to meditate. He didn't care much about the outside world. As for Tang San and Titan going to Longxing City, it would be better to let Bibi Dong handle it rather than travel all the way there. Otherwise, facing four top-tier Soul Douluos, they might not be able to gain much advantage, not to mention that Tang Hao was behind them.

Besides, whether it's Tang San or Tang Hao, they will come to Heaven Dou City sooner or later. Rather than running around everywhere, it's better to wait for them to come to us in Heaven Dou City.

At the new headquarters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, after nearly a month of continuous treatment, Sword Douluo has regained consciousness. However, due to the loss of his right arm and being severely injured by Ghost Douluo, his original strength has been reduced to less than one-tenth. Not only is he unable to fight, but without rare and precious treasures, he may never be able to recover in this lifetime.

Especially after being struck in the abdomen by Ghost Douluo, the circulation of his soul power seemed to be greatly restricted. If he wanted to fight, he probably wouldn't even be able to display the strength of a Soul Saint. His only advantage was his sharp swordsmanship.

Bone Douluo, after being treated, barely recovered 50% of his strength and was able to fight. With his strong defense and unpredictable spatial abilities, he could probably fight Soul Douluo. However, it would take at least two or three years for him to fully recover.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi only saw one message, and he was a little dazed, with a conflicted look on his face.

Ning Rongrong asked, somewhat puzzled, "Dad, has something big happened again?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "Rongrong, Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, do you still remember Yang Ping'an who appeared in the Soul Master Competition? I didn't expect that after five years, after the two major sects suffered a great calamity, he would reappear."

Ning Rongrong was a little confused: "Of course I remember him. Zhu Qing and I looked for him many times back then, but we searched for him for five years without any news. I thought he had already passed away."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "According to my spies, his appearance has changed drastically from before. He's probably been hiding all these years."

Bone Douluo's face showed some displeasure: "What exactly does Yang Ping'an mean? Back then, our other sects were eager to recruit him and offered very good conditions, but he simply disappeared. Five years later, he dares to reappear. Could it be that he only dares to come out because he sees that our two major sects have declined, especially without the pressure from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan? Doesn't he underestimate the strength of the major powers?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "Uncle Gu, that's not the point. I just don't understand how he managed to hide from a major power for a full five years. There was no news of him at all on the entire continent. You know, the golden age of soul cultivation is only a dozen years or so. Given his personality, he shouldn't be the type to give up cultivation."

The group fell silent, seemingly puzzled.

After some time, Sword Douluo asked with some doubt, "Feng Zhi, you don't still want to recruit him, do you? We don't have the resources and capabilities we had back then to recruit such a genius."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "I always felt that Yang Ping'an's appearance was a bit strange. Even though our two major sects are in trouble, the Heaven Dou Empire has been trying to recruit him. You know, if they can't recruit a genius like him, they're determined to destroy him."

"No matter what he has to rely on, we'll probably only know for sure after meeting him."

……

Besides the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, many other forces have also received news of Yang Ping'an's arrival in Heaven Dou City, and it seems that undercurrents are starting to rise again. You have to know that with the strength and potential that Yang Ping'an showed in the Soul Master Competition, if he can't become one of their own, then they must kill him in advance.

Especially in the Crown Prince's residence in Tiandou City, after receiving Salas's message, Ghost Leopard Douluo immediately informed Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe couldn't help but chuckle: "This Yang Ping'an is quite interesting. He actually wants to see me. Could it be that something important is going on?"

Ghost Leopard Douluo quickly spoke up: "Your Highness, Yang Ping'an is Chrysanthemum Douluo's disciple. He performed exceptionally well in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan this time. He was able to kill Yu Luomian with his own strength, so he probably already has the combat power of a Title Douluo."

Xue Qinghe nodded: "That's a bit unexpected. I fought him five years ago and was able to completely defeat him back then. I didn't expect him to grow so fast in five years. I wonder if I can still easily suppress him?"

Ghost Leopard Douluo remained silent for a moment. Although he had great confidence in Xue Qinghe's strength, Yang Ping'an's terrifying 100,000-year seventh spirit ring was even more frightening.
