Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 279 Lao Mu's Suspended Heart Finally Died

Although the next steps have been finalized, Lin Yun has not given up on his previous plans.

I can give him the Glazed Jade Tea, but he has to go to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School first. That's a must. Ning Tian won't have any worries. The phrase "love-struck" is enough to pierce through everything in Douluo Continent.

But the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is different.

Ning Fengzhi was already like that ten thousand years ago, always talking about the three upper sects being of the same blood, but in reality he was full of bad intentions, and every day he was plotting something.

You could say that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School suffered huge losses in the end. Not only did it not gain any substantial benefits, but the sect was also almost destroyed. After Sword Bone Douluo died, only Ning Fengzhi and a few minor members of the sect remained.

You could say that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School ultimately won, and the sect successfully continued to exist. It remained active in the Soul Master world until the time of Dragon King Legend. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which was also one of the three upper sects, had already split into countless branches like the Heaven Dou Empire, while the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was still alive.

Although it was a mess, at least I'm alive.

Regardless of the fate of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, its ability to adapt to changing circumstances has always been exceptionally impressive.

No matter what, it can't escape the fact that it's essentially a merchant sect.

Merchants are profit-driven and opportunistic.

Simply subduing Ning Tian is not enough. We need to give the true high-ranking members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School a good beating, making them feel threatened with death and offered enough incentives to drive them crazy, before we can make these traitors obediently work for Lin Yun.

He may not care how much benefit and help the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School brings him, but he cannot ignore the fact that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School takes his benefits and then acts erratically.

Once you take Lin Yun's things, you only have two paths: either die or obediently become his dog.

Ning Tian was laughing, and Lin Yun was laughing too.

It's hard to say who will have the last laugh, or whether both of them will have the last laugh.

"As long as the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has outstanding talents like you, I believe we will all have the last laugh."

……

the other side.

The storm stirred up by "The Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons" continues. Even the cities that Mu En had previously tried to stop were once again disrupted by this incredibly explosive unofficial history amidst the trade between merchants.

As mentioned before, the explosive scenes and incredible knowledge in "Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons" were injected into the minds of the Douluo natives in a despicable way.

Seeing the ordinary merchants discussing the content of "The Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons" all over the streets, Mu En's anxiety completely died.

Previously, these books were mostly spread slowly in one or a few cities, but the sins spread throughout the entire continent.

Moon believed that as long as he acted quickly enough, he would be able to stop the spread of these books.

When he first discovered that these books were spreading, Moon thought he was very lucky, since he had directly encountered the source of the books' spread. After immediately suppressing these books, Moon began to devote all his energy to searching for the mastermind behind them.

Since the books are already being circulated, the person spreading them must be nearby, and Moon is confident that he can find them.

But he was destined to do something futile.

He wasn't just at the source of the book's spread, or rather, he was indeed at the source, but this time the source encompassed the entire Douluo Continent.

The tree seed of the Demon King, under his reckless overdraft, began to cause trouble from almost every angle. When it realized that someone was preventing it from spreading the Venerable One's will, it did not hesitate to set itself on fire.

Following Lin Yun's will, even if the person who stops the spread is just a minor Soul King, the Demon King will not hesitate to self-immolate the tree seed.

Anyway, there are enough tree species and the area covered is large enough. With such a huge base, it's perfectly fine for several or even a dozen cities not to have books scattered around. When a bucket of water is full of ink, a few drops of water are nothing more than paper balls in a fire, which will eventually turn into ashes.

And so.

While Mu En was still conducting a thorough search of the city where he had discovered the tree species, the Demon King was already having a blast, spreading the Venerable One's will throughout the continent.

Moreover, it seems that the Demon King has opened the door to a new world. When spreading the book "Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons", he does not do it like he did when spreading "Dragon and Phoenix in Harmony" or "The Secret Transmission of the Supreme Elder". He just keeps spreading the book with a gloomy face and does not say a word.

This time, he actually learned how to operate a bard without any instruction, and began to murmur the stories in the book as he flipped through it.

What follows is an even more impressive maneuver.

The Demon King even had the tree seeds use their spiritual power to assist him, ensuring that everyone along his route could clearly hear his voice, which was imbued with a bewitching spiritual power. This bewitching spiritual power wasn't strong, but it was enough to pique the curiosity of passersby, making them more interested in the story of "The Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons."

In other words, Lin Yun didn't know exactly how the Demon King operated; otherwise, he would have immediately rewarded the Demon King with a 100,000-year-old immortal herb.

The horse is too fast; if he keeps just making empty promises without actually delivering, Lin Yun himself will feel embarrassed!

It's another city.

The Demon King closed the book "Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons" in his hand, and disappeared at the end of the street with a smile on his face.

He was in a good mood because he had brought the Lord's will to a human city and made them feel the Lord's will and believe in it without a doubt.

"Your Majesty, my mission is complete!" The Demon King suddenly opened his arms as if to embrace the whole world. His pale face turned red with excitement, and an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face.

This feeling of manipulating people's hearts is so exhilarating!

Just ...

The Demon King looked down at his waist and shook his head helplessly.

The distribution of books is not free. The "Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons" that the Demon King casually created is priced very high. It costs the equivalent of a God-King level expert grilling a fish to buy a copy.

However, the sales of "The Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons" were extremely high.

Adding to his previous four books, "Entwined Dragon and Phoenix," "Harmonious Dragon and Phoenix," "The Sinful Master," and "The Secret Biography of the Supreme Elder," the Demon King has already earned several hundred million gold soul coins...

Yes, that's right, Gold Soul Coins, several hundred million.

It's probably around three or four hundred million.

The price of a single book is indeed not high, but you can't resist the large population base of Douluo Continent, and some people don't just buy one book, they buy several.

In addition, some of the [Collector's Edition] editions feature Aoba-sensei's autograph and multiple unique book illustrations and posters. Even though the [Collector's Edition] is priced a hundred times higher than the regular edition—enough for a God-King level expert to personally grill a hundred fish to buy one copy—it is still in high demand.

(Note: The price of grilled fish by the God-King level expert Dai Yuhao is 5 copper soul coins.)

To the Demon King, the Gold Soul Coins were no different from scrap metal; he found them too bulky and in the way. However, considering that the Gold Soul Coins were still useful to Lin Yun, he meticulously preserved them all.

"I'm sure His Majesty will be very satisfied, won't he?" The Demon King nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, I am His Excellency's most capable subordinate!

……

The Demon King dusted himself off and returned to the Star Dou Great Forest, never once encountering Mu En. Mu En, like a bound spirit, lingered around those cities, conducting a thorough search.

After searching for three days without finding any trace of the mastermind, he belatedly realized that the controversy surrounding "The Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons" was already out of control.

That's how the scene at the beginning came about.

With a hunched back, Mu En leaned on a cane made from a branch of a golden tree, staring blankly at the copy of "The Phoenix Plays with Two Dragons" that was practically in everyone's hands on the streets. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died completely.

He struggled to lift his head, looking at the clear blue sky, and a tear slid down his cheek.

My reputation...

Completely spice-free!
