Chapter 181 He escaped alone once again.

"No." Zhu Zhuqing's face showed a rare panic as she gritted her teeth and said, "I originally wanted to change him, to get rid of his obsession, and then persuade him to stay in the Heavenly Dou Empire and start a new life together."

As she said this, a trace of sorrow and desolation rose in her eyes, "But in the end, I realized that I was wrong. In fact, I couldn't change anything."

Zhu Zhuyun immediately smiled, "It seems my silly little sister has finally come to her senses."

"Now that you're back, stay home and keep your mother company. Do whatever you want, marry whoever you like. In the years since Dai Mubai left, my status in the empire has risen considerably, and the family won't force you to do anything anymore."

Ning Rongrong had guessed correctly. Zhu Zhuqing's eyes inexplicably welled up with tears. It turned out that the family affection she longed for had always been by her side, but she had never realized it.

At that moment, she felt like a fool, a clown living in her own imagination.

"Big sister, I've let you down," she said through gritted teeth. "I should have realized it sooner. With your strength, you wouldn't have needed to chase me for so long."

Zhu Zhuyun looked relieved and said with a smile, "It's not too late to realize it now."

"Go back to your room and get some rest. I'll be there to pick you up when we get back to Xingluo City with the convoy tomorrow."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "Thank you, elder sister."

Then, as if remembering something, she asked softly, "What about him?"

"Heh." Zhu Zhuyun sneered immediately. "Without a doubt, he escaped again. Otherwise, why would I be here?"

He escaped alone once again. Zhu Zhuqing fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Elder sister, did you come here to kill him?"

Zhu Zhuyun shook her head, "It's not me and your brother-in-law, it's His Majesty."

"If he doesn't escape, at worst he'll be imprisoned and have his soul power stripped. This is not only a test for him by His Majesty, but also a test for your brother-in-law. As a father, how could you want to see brothers kill each other?"

"Unfortunately, he ultimately chose to run away."

"His actions not only violated royal dignity but also slapped His Majesty in the face, which naturally made His Majesty extremely disappointed in him."

"Therefore, he could only die at the hands of the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, dying while fleeing, so that your brother-in-law could sit in that position without any obstacles in the future."

"This is the best way to completely extinguish the ideas of certain conspirators within the country and cut off any cause for unrest."

"Zhu Qing, this is politics!"

"Sometimes, we are just pawns, whether we like it or not. What those people need is sometimes just a reason."

"Dai Mubai's status as a prince is such a reason that can be used; it's just a matter of whether or not it can be used, and when."

"As a monarch, considering the overall situation, Your Majesty will not leave any hidden dangers for the empire."

"But you are different, which is why I chose to expel you in the first place."

"Okay, don't think too much about it. Go back to your room and get some rest. We'll have a proper get-together when we get home."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly in silence.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun turned and left.

The following morning, a warm yellow light shone in the distant east. But within the Starry Sky Forest, however, it remained eerily gloomy.

Dai Mubai ran through the crowd, eventually stopping to rest under the shade of a tree.

Suddenly, the surrounding branches and leaves rustled, and the next second, several masked men in black appeared on the treetops.

Dai Mubai's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly. Without hesitation, he summoned his martial soul, his face grim, and said coldly.

"Are you Davis's men?"

"Your Highness, you shouldn't have run away," the leader of the men in black sighed, then spoke.

"By order of His Majesty, execute him on the spot!"

"Impossible!" Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief. "My father would never send someone to kill me! I am his own son!"

The men in black around them remained silent and launched an attack.

"Ah!" Under the onslaught, screams quickly rang out, and blood flowed on the ground.

The man in black strode forward, squatted down, and with a flick of his hand, the corpse vanished instantly.

As a father, I ultimately don't want my son to be buried in a foreign land.

"Alas, Father Emperor really did scheme against me." In a room in Xijin City, Davis sighed.

Although he understood that his father did not want him to bear the stain of killing his brother, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he actually learned the truth.

"Brother Wei, you don't need to worry too much. Father did this not only for you, but also for the stability of the empire," Zhu Zhuyun comforted him.

"I understand," Davis said with a wry smile.

On the other side, in the Starry Sky Forest, in the Misty Zone.

Zhu Wu landed slowly with Zi Ji, and opposite them, Di Tian led Bi Ji towards them.

"Time is of the essence, let's set off immediately," Zhu Wu said bluntly.

"Okay." Di Tian nodded, glanced at Bi Ji, and then quickly flew away from the misty area with Zhu Wu.

"Tianmeng, assist me in locating the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger." Upon arriving at the area where the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had appeared, Zhu Wu spoke while using his mental detection.

"Alright!" Within the mental space, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded and immediately released its own mental power to provide support.

Several hours later, an extremely malevolent mental fluctuation appeared within the range of mental detection.

"Found it." Zhu Wu withdrew his mental energy and turned to look at Di Tian.

"Di Tian, ​​if the energy crystal of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger appears, be careful not to let it escape later."

"Don't worry." Di Tian nodded, then stepped forward and swiftly flew towards the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Zhu Wu and Zi Ji followed closely behind.

Soon, a giant, pure black tiger with two wings on its back came into view.

Without the slightest hesitation, Di Tian swooped down, his speed as fast as a black lightning bolt.

"Roar!" The Dark Demon God Tiger sensed the air fluctuations and instinctively raised its head and roared.

"Bang!" A flash of black light appeared before his eyes, and his spine was struck and snapped in two. His body, unable to withstand the force, was slammed into the ground and sank in.

He coughed up large amounts of blood, his face showed terror, his body convulsed uncontrollably, and his forelimbs flailing wildly.

As for the lower body, it could do nothing but tremble, as the spinal nerves had been severed.

"High-Temperature Ray!" Zhu Wu slammed his hands together in mid-air, and flames rapidly gathered in the center of his palms, quickly forming a small crimson sphere. The next second, a crimson ray suddenly shot out, directly hitting the eye socket of the Dark Demon God Tiger, sending up plumes of thick smoke.

The aroma of meat sizzled and filled the air in the blink of an eye. The Dark Demon God Tiger's body quickly stopped convulsing, and a black soul ring floated out.

Zhu Wu then gracefully landed with Zi Ji.

Without warning, a small black bead suddenly shot out from the side of the Dark Demon God Tiger's body, and a black hole appeared out of thin air.

With a whoosh, Di Tian arrived instantly, his right hand, radiating dark light, grabbing him tightly.

In just a few blinks of an eye, his five fingers spread out, and a small, jet-black bead lay quietly in his palm.

"There's actually a trace of divine power remaining inside this energy crystal," Di Tian said with some surprise. "Fortunately, the intensity isn't high, and I've already refined it and stored it inside."

"Zhu Wu, this energy crystal has already formed the prototype of a soul core, and it contains multiple attribute abilities. When you absorbed the Silver Moon Wolf King's soul ring, you inherited multiple attributes. Perhaps you can absorb it directly as a soul core to carry these attributes and abilities."

"That's one way." Zhu Wu nodded and reached out to take the black bead.

"This bead shares the same origin as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. You can integrate it into your soul ring when you absorb it," Di Tian continued.

"Okay." Zhu Wu nodded, walked to the body of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and sat down. Then he activated the Dragon God bloodline in his body. Fine white scales immediately began to grow on the surface of his skin, his five fingers turned into dragon claws, his pupils shrank into vertical pupils, and dragon horns began to extend from the sides of his ears.

The next second, Zhu Wu had a thought, and four pairs of seven-colored dragon wings immediately extended from his back.

After nearly two years of nourishment, his external soul bone has grown wing membranes and no longer resembles its original wing bone form.

Having made preparations, Zhu Wu didn't delay. He threw the black bead into his mouth and swallowed it, then closed his eyes and circulated his soul power.

Guided by spiritual power, the black bead purified by Di Tian flowed to the center of the lower dantian at an extremely fast speed, rotating slowly with the circulation of soul power, without any discomfort.

At the same time, one of the spirit rings was drawn in and quickly came to Zhu Wu's head and fell on him.

Just as it moved down to the center of the forehead, an extremely cold aura quickly entered the center of the forehead.

It rushes directly into the sea of ​​consciousness.
