Douluo Continent: The Drunken Sword Immortal slaps Ning Rongrong in the face right from the start!

Chapter 96 Resentment, Zhu Zhuqing's Farewell

Ye Yan simply lowered his head and said to Xiao Wu, "Stop with your little schemes. If I catch up at full speed at this distance, he'll be dead for sure!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu, who had originally intended to self-destruct, suppressed all the soul power within her body.

Soul beasts that have lived beyond a certain age have developed intelligence. They believe in the principle of "better to perish than live in dishonor," and if captured by a powerful soul master, they will choose to self-destruct.

Even though Xiao Wu has transformed into a human form, she is still a soul beast in essence.

If he were to self-destruct, Ye Yan would gain nothing.

Looking in the direction Tang San left, Xiao Wu silently accepted her fate.

The soul beast, which had transformed into the shape of a rabbit, collapsed to the ground, revealing a red soul ring and a leg soul bone.

"You absorb it quickly, I'll stay here and watch over you!" Dugu Bo volunteered.

If that kid goes and comes back, I'll make sure he never returns!

Without hesitation, Ye Yan immediately sat down cross-legged to absorb the soul ring.

On the other side, after Tang San had escaped for a while, he discovered bloodstains on the ground and a pile of torn pieces of clothing, which belonged to Tang Hao!

"Ye Yan, I will kill you in this lifetime!"

He wanted to avenge Xiao Wu and his father!

Therefore, he must become stronger now!

Tang San realized that his strength alone was limited. Suddenly, he thought, what if he could recreate the Tang Clan on this continent?

In his previous life, he was a disciple of the Tang Clan. He was forced to jump off a cliff because he stole secrets from the sect, and then he transmigrated to this world.

One person's strength is limited, but if he can restore the glory of the Tang Clan, then he will have a chance to take revenge on Ye Yan!

Some time later, inside Tiandou City.

At this time, Tiandou City had completely fallen under the control of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. Emperor Xue Ye, whose health was getting weaker and weaker, had decided to pass the throne to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe in a month.

There was much discussion outside, but what was surprising was that the Spirit Hall did not take advantage of the situation to send a large army to launch a surprise attack on the Heaven Dou Empire!

Were their previous judgments about the Spirit Hall all wrong?

The Spirit Hall has no ambition to conquer the continent.

Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

Xue Qinghe looked at Ning Fengzhi and the others who were tied up and laughed, "Teacher, haven't you figured it out yet?"

"I am not your teacher! I never imagined that after teaching you since childhood, I wouldn't have seen through your true colors. Was it you who poisoned His Majesty's body?"

"So what? The Heavenly Dou Empire is about to fall under my control. If you know what's good for you, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might retain some of its heritage. Otherwise, I can turn you into obedient puppets!"

Just as Xue Qinghe continued his coercion and enticement, the Porcupine Douluo stepped forward and said, "Young Master, a powerful aura has entered the palace! It might be the Drunken Sword Immortal!"

Xue Qinghe frowned slightly, then ordered his men to hide Ning Fengzhi and the others.

Ye Yan destroyed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and she secretly hid these people away so that he would never find out.

These people are still useful to me now. If Ye Yan finds out, not only will he not leave them alive, but it will also leave a grudge between them.

Xue Qinghe then quickly left and returned to his palace, arriving before Ye Yan did.

"Senior Sword Immortal, it's been a while since we last met; your strength seems to have improved once again!"

Yes, with many blessings and having just absorbed Xiao Wu's soul ring, Ye Yan's soul power has now reached level 97!

"What do you want to do?"

Ye Yan's words weren't a question to him, but more like a reminder.

Previously, the situation on the mainland was a three-way balance of power, represented by two major empires and the Spirit Hall.

Although the Spirit Hall was powerful, the seven major sects secretly helped the two empires, which gave the two empires the ability to barely contend with the Spirit Hall.

However, Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue from the Spirit Hall in disguise. His goal was to seize power in the Heaven Dou Empire. Now that he has achieved his goal, he has not yet revealed his identity and returned to the Spirit Hall, which shows that he is not united within the Spirit Hall.

If they are allowed to continue developing, an unprecedented war will break out on this continent!

Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "Senior Sword Immortal, you shouldn't care about these things, right? Your philosophy has always been to be carefree and unrestrained, why bother with these troubles of the world? Just leave everything else to us."

At the same time, Xue Qinghe reminded Ye Yan that he had promised him he would not get involved in these things again.

He'd been plotting this since that time!

He believed that Ye Yan would keep his promise as long as Ye Yan's bottom line was not crossed.

As he guessed, Ye Yan, even knowing his purpose, only came to issue a warning.

He made the right bet, and Ye Yan left without saying anything more.

Before Ye Yan left, Xue Qinghe said, "However, I assure you, I will do my utmost to protect the safety of the civilians, to let the glory of the angels shine across the entire continent, and to dispel the darkness for them!"

After leaving the palace, Dugu Bo curiously went up to him and asked, "How did it go?"

"There will likely be many wars, large and small, on the mainland in the future."

Dugu Bo knew this, of course, and he also knew that he was in even greater danger as a rogue cultivator!

All those forces will be eyeing him. He either has to join one of them or quickly go into hiding and wait for the war to end!

At this moment, Dugu Bo looked at Ye Yan and thought that if he were as powerful as Ye Yan, he wouldn't have to worry so much, and other forces would only feel fear!

"I plan to hide with Yan'er for now. If you need me, come find me here. If you come, I'll brave any danger for you, brother!"

After leaving an address, Dugu Bo left with Dugu Yan.

Ye Yan has now dealt with all his enemies, so there's no need for him to go anywhere else. Next, he should complete the soul rings on the Xuanbao Gourd to prepare for the future.

Thinking of the Asura God he encountered in the City of Slaughter, Ye Yan wondered why he had let him go so easily. However, strengthening himself was the key!

"senior!"

Hearing the sound, Ye Yan turned around. Zhu Zhuqing rushed over and said, "Senior, you've come all the way to Tiandou City!"

The Blazing Fire Academy team left Tiandou City and returned to Blazing Fire Academy half a month ago, but Zhu Zhuqing is still waiting here because her family has ordered her to return and has already sent people over.

Zhu Zhuqing knew what Ye Yan would face after returning to her family, so she wanted to see Ye Yan one last time here.

Zhu Zhuqing had never dared to talk to Ye Yan before, but perhaps because she cherished this opportunity, she said a lot to Ye Yan and asked a lot of questions today.

Until dusk.

"Senior, Zhu Qing will never forget your teachings!"

Zhu Zhuqing bowed deeply in Ye Yan's direction. She did not reveal anything about her family's affairs, as she did not want to trouble Ye Yan with her own problems.

This means that if she can resolve this herself, she will see Ye Yan again in the future.

Even if the hope is slim.

You can think of it as Xiao Wu sacrificing her life to give Tang San a chance to escape. Even a transformed soul beast is still a soul beast in essence; it will self-destruct, and the soul master will gain nothing. Therefore, for the sake of Xiao Wu's soul ring, Tang San was spared.

My personal opinion is that Ah Yin and Xiao Wu's mother probably considered self-destruction back then.

However, Ah Yin was holding her child in her arms, so she couldn't bear to take her child with her and chose to sacrifice herself to Tang Hao.

It's likely that Xiao Wu's mother didn't self-destruct because Xiao Wu was nearby, and the backlash from her self-destruction would affect her, so she chose to be killed by Bibi Dong instead.

There is also the option of sacrifice. Xiao Wu can also choose to sacrifice herself, but the distance is too far. Xiao Wu is at Ye Yan's feet and there is still a long time between her and Tang San, which is more than the distance for sacrifice, so she cannot sacrifice herself to Tang San.
