Douluo Continent: I have the Heaven-Piercing Tyrannosaurus Beast

Chapter 183 Xiao Yan Agrees to the Deal

"But the people of Xingluo only see this as a story. After all, the late emperor did indeed possess the power of the Chaos White Tiger. In their eyes, it was precisely this auspicious omen that symbolized the eternal prosperity of the White Tiger Empire."

"Chaotic White Tiger?" This was the first time Xiao Yan had heard of such a term. He had heard of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, but what was this Chaotic White Tiger?

"Or rather, the other party is actually the White Tiger at all. He himself is a chaotic entity, but he came into contact with his predecessor and thus became the Chaotic White Tiger." As if he felt that his description was not appropriate enough, Davis took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yan.

A group of white tigers with malevolent eyes lay on top, and what was even stranger was that, starting from the middle of their bodies, the colors of the tigers were all reversed, and their faces were a chaotic mess with no discernible expression.

The moment Xiao Yan saw what was in the painting, he immediately believed Davis's words, because he felt an urgent sense of pressure from the painting alone, a feeling he had never experienced before.

"It is said that the White Tiger Emperor of that generation broke through to the Title Douluo level after being cleansed by the other party's power. However, every time he activated his martial soul, he became extremely irritable and could not communicate with ordinary people at all. Therefore, the more he went on, the fewer times he took action. Moreover, his life force was visibly fading away. The golden hair that was unique to our family turned white, and he died young."

Xiao Yan nodded. In his memory, when Dai Mubai first appeared, he did have a full head of white hair and gave off a crazy feeling. He even yelled at Flander, clearly indicating that he could no longer communicate normally with ordinary people.

"But that's all in the past. Even if the curse reappears, it will only affect Dai Mubai. You really have nothing to worry about."

Davis shook his head: "No, actually, ever since that White Tiger Emperor made a deal with that evil spirit, the Star Luo royal family has been under a curse."

"If a child is born with white hair, it's considered an omen of evil spirits. My younger brother, Dai Mubai, actually had a tuft of white hair on his head when he was born, but my mother kept it a secret until recently. Actually, I should have noticed it sooner; Dai Mubai has heterochromia, which is an ominous sign."

At this point, Davis was somewhat angry, perhaps regretting that he hadn't gotten to know Dai Mubai sooner.

The chaotic white tiger on the scroll does indeed have heterochromia.

Xiao Yan nodded without speaking, because Davis still hadn't explained why he had sought him out; it was more like he was telling him a story.

"You don't actually think that white hair means a short life, do you? Even so, it's rare for the entire White Tiger royal family to have white hair. So the real curse is that anyone with white hair will inevitably be able to communicate with that evil, and the price of that power is our entire Star Luo royal family." Davis said, shaking his head.

Xiao Yan could sense that even someone as powerful as him, the Crown Prince who looked down upon all the ministers of Xingluo, was now radiating fear.

"When I rushed back to the Star Luo Royal Family, my father was already in a coma, but his appearance was not as good as before. He looked much worse and aged more than twenty years."

If he weren't Davis, Xiao Yan would have thought that this generation's White Tiger Emperor had taken over the script of Xue Ye.

"Currently, the affairs of the court are being handled jointly by my mother and my ailing father, so I am now—"

"So you've actually lost interest in the national competition."

"Yes, but the way my father looks at me still makes me want to bring glory to the Star Luo Empire. As the future emperor, I should rightfully win a championship."

Forget about it. Xiao Yan thought to himself, you guys can't even beat this year's Heaven Dou team, let alone the Spirit Hall's golden generation.

"But I cannot disobey my father's orders, and now I have no choice but to embark on the path of Heavenly Dou. Thank you, Xiao Yan." Davis said, inexplicably expressing his gratitude.

"Thank me for what?" Xiao Yan looked at the Crown Prince of Xingluo, somewhat bewildered.

"I know you went to settle accounts with Dai Mubai, but I didn't hear about his death, so I think he escaped. Since you say that his limbs are all damaged, it will be difficult for him to make deals with that evil spirit again in such a short time. Father's body should be able to hold on, which is the only thing that can comfort me."

"So you came to me to find out information about Dai Mubai?"

Davis shook his head: "I have a specialized intelligence exchange at Tiandou, but there have been some recent mishaps. However, it's not a big deal. I'm here to ask for your help."

Holy crap.

Why do the crown princes of both great empires like to seek my help? What merit do I possess to deserve this?

Moreover, Xiao Yan felt that the two people were looking for him about the same thing.

"Although my father kept quiet and told me not to get involved in Dai Mubai's affairs and the curse, he also warned me that we, the descendants of the Dai family, must not go near the Demon Suppression Mountain Range."

In the Demon-Suppressing Mountains, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment. It seemed the map in his hand didn't mention such a location at all.

"This Demon-Suppressing Mountain Range is actually the name used within our Star Luo royal family. Every member of the royal family, upon reaching adulthood, must go to the foot of the Demon-Suppressing Mountain Range to kneel and worship. If we were to use a map today, it would be the Dragon Spine Mountain Range, located on the edge of our Star Luo territory." Although it's not explicitly stated in the secret history, I believe the place that brought about the qualitative change in the Dai family was within this Dragon Spine Mountain Range, Davis affirmed.

"The Dragon Spine Mountains?" In Xiao Yan's memory, the Dragon Spine Mountains stretched for thousands of miles and were surrounded by some soul beasts, which was indeed quite large.

"So I would like to ask you, Xiao Yan, to take a look for me."

"Are you sure that the curse affecting your Dai family originated from the evil spirits in the Dragonspine Mountains?"

"I'm sure, otherwise my father wouldn't have repeatedly told me not to go near that area before I fell into a coma. It seems that our Star Luo royal family is very afraid of that area; it's something ingrained in our bones."

"But that area is too big. What do you want me to do after I get there? I'm not a Soul Master with the Light attribute who can exorcise evil spirits. Why don't you ask the Spirit Hall for help? Don't they have the Angel Spirit?" Xiao Yan said, trying to avoid the question.

"————" Davis frowned. The Star Luo royal family had such a thing happen, and they couldn't even keep it a secret. If the Spirit Hall found out, who knows how they would take advantage of their misfortune.

He took out a ring from his pocket. "There are three million gold soul coins inside. I don't expect you to do anything. If the records in the secret history are correct, then there must be some kind of seal in that cursed area. I just hope you can check if the seal is still intact. As for the rest, I will make a plan after I return from Tian Dou. If this money is not enough, you can give me any other reasons."

Seeing the other party's serious expression, Xiao Yan understood that the other party also knew that this matter would definitely cost a lot of money.

He reached out and took the money bag. "I made it clear beforehand that I was only gathering information, and I would leave immediately if there was any danger."

"But what if I rid you of the evil spirit?"

Davis was taken aback, stood up straight from the sofa, and bowed to Xiao Yan.

"If you can truly lift the curse on our Dai family, you, Xiao Yan, will be a guest of honor in our Star Luo royal family for the rest of your life!"
