Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Dongfang Qingcang, Unrivaled in the Mortal World

Chapter 8 addresses me as Your Excellency! [Please read on and add to your favorites!]

A crimson 100,000-year soul ring quietly lit up, and the surging energy caused the void on both sides to bloom and change, making the entire sky above the Heaven Dou Empire extremely dark at this moment.

It was extremely eerie, like the end of the world.

Xiao Lan Hua was also surprised by the shimmering spirit ring in front of her, after all, they were from the same world.

If you don't even have it yourself, where did the great demon get it from?

What's going on?

Could it be that the great demon has been hiding his true strength all along?

He also has another identity: a Soul Master in Douluo Continent?

Moreover, judging from the illusory image of the Demon Lord floating behind him, it should be his Martial Soul, and it is an extremely precious and rare Dark Attribute Martial Soul.

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang struggled to raise his head, staring at the eerie "Demon Lord Martial Soul," his heart filled with horror.

As the most talented theoretical master in Douluo Continent, Yu Xiaogang has studied countless martial souls in his life, among which he has done a great deal of research on dark-type martial souls. He also understands that most people who possess this type of martial soul are outstanding individuals.

However, the appearance of the 100,000-year soul ring also made him feel an unprecedented fear.

Dai Mubai, who had been quite arrogant just moments before, was so frightened that his legs went weak and he lay on the ground trembling all over.

Although he was the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, he only held the title of "prince" and did not have any real power.

Dealing with ordinary people might be possible by simply killing them because of their status, but when facing a Title Douluo powerhouse like this, let alone myself, even if the Star Luo Empire's royal family appeared, they might not be able to stop them.

Passersby were terrified, their faces turning pale, and they all avoided the area as if they were in danger, fearing that the energy ripples from the Title Douluo's attack would affect them.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer; when the city gates catch fire, the fish in the moat also get caught in the crossfire.

He's a Title Douluo; with just one Ninth Soul Skill, the entire city's inhabitants would probably be reduced to ashes.

"We don't want this stone anymore, Your Majesty, please forgive us!"

Yu Xiaogang struggled to his feet and bowed respectfully to Dongfang Qingcang before him.

He is the kind of person who can bend and stretch; he is humble and subservient to the strong, but strikes hard against the weak.

Now, when facing a Title Douluo, one must naturally be respectful, just like when facing Poison Douluo Dugu Bo not long ago.

Dugu Bo was already extremely arrogant, but Dongfang Qingcang, who appeared to be hundreds of times stronger than Dugu Bo, was naturally much more humble.

With one hand hovering behind his back, Dongfang Qingcang said indifferently, "I am not the kind of person who is unreasonable. You have paid the money, so the stone is naturally yours."

"However, since this blond-haired man dared to be so insolent in front of me, I will..."

"Your Majesty, spare my life!"

Dai Mubai hurriedly crawled over and frantically kowtowed, even though his forehead was already bleeding profusely, he did not stop.

Because Dai Mubai knew in his heart that if he wanted to survive, he had to kneel down and kowtow; otherwise, he would never see the sun rise tomorrow.

The Star Luo Empire is a power-based nation; if someone dies, the Star Luo Empire's royal family will absolutely not send troops to seek revenge.

After all, who would risk offending a Title Douluo powerhouse for the sake of a useless prince?

Isn't this just courting death?

Dongfang Qingcang withdrew his previous soul power, and the Shrek Academy disciples who were lying on the ground finally felt relaxed. However, they did not stand up, but instead knelt down in an orderly fashion.

Passersby stopped to watch, finding it endlessly fascinating.

The fact that a noble profession like Soul Masters knelt on the ground filled some non-Soul Masters with a sense of pleasure.

Dai Mubai slapped himself wildly, his once handsome face instantly becoming red and swollen, and with the blood on his forehead, he looked incredibly ferocious.

Snapped!

*Smack... Smack smack smack smack!*

Dai Mubai lashed out rhythmically, repeatedly pleading for mercy while keeping his head buried in the ground, refusing to look Dongfang in the eye.

"Your Majesty, spare my life. If Your Majesty spares this junior, this junior is willing to compensate you for everything."

Little Orchid couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward, saying, "Great Demon, let's just let this go. After all, they didn't do anything, and you even crushed the stone. Theoretically, we're not in the right."

"Why are you interrupting me when I'm doing my work?"

Dongfang Qingcang glanced at Xiao Lanhua beside him and said indifferently.

Little Orchid pursed her lips, not daring to say anything more. She was just a little flower fairy, how could she have the right to show off in front of the Demon Lord?

With one hand hovering behind his back, Dongfang Qingcang continued, "Since you are willing to actively compensate, I will give you a chance. Prepare five million gold soul coins within three days. Otherwise, I don't mind sending you to the Pavilion of Life and Death."

"What... five million gold soul coins?"

Dai Mubai was startled and suddenly raised his head.

Even the Shrek Academy teachers on both sides were taken aback by the sudden price and cast helpless glances at Dai Mubai.

Five million gold soul coins is an astronomical figure for Shrek Academy.

That was true before, and it still is now.

That's decades' worth of expenses for the college.

They couldn't even come up with one million gold soul coins, let alone five million.

I can't even imagine it.

"What, you want to disobey my orders? In that case, die."

"Let's wrap this up." Dongfang Qingcang casually snapped his fingers: "Red Shoes, Matchmaker."

As Dongfang Qingcang's voice faded, Dai Mubai felt sore all over. When he looked up, he found that an extra-large foot had suddenly appeared on his head.

The red shoes emitted an eerie light, and the swirling energy caused the bluestone bricks beneath Dai Mubai to shatter inch by inch.

Just as the giant foot was about to land, Dai Mubai was utterly terrified and immediately knelt on the ground, roaring:

"I'll pay for it!"

Dongfang Qingcang nodded and smiled slightly: "Those who know when to yield are the heroes. Deliver the money to the designated location within three days, or I won't hesitate to destroy your soul."

"Furthermore, the name 'Your Majesty' sounds awful. From now on, address me as 'Your Excellency,' understand?"

"I will obey... Your Majesty's words."

How could Dai Mubai dare to refuse?

He was also filled with resentment, wondering why he had interfered in Tang San's affairs. Not only had he lost five million gold soul coins, but he had also almost been trampled to death.

In the end, Tang San was completely unharmed; he just stood there watching the show and didn't even try to speak up for him. Anyone would find that unacceptable.

Tang San's eyes darted away, and he shifted his body slightly, as if to tell Dongfang Qingcang that he and Dai Mubai were not familiar with each other.

If asked...

He could also say "irrelevant"...
