After calming herself down a bit, Nan Qiuqiu led her fellow disciples from the Earth Dragon Sect toward Nan Shuishui. Her eyes held a strange expression, and her pretty face flushed.
"Given this guy's excellence, there's probably no one else on the entire continent who can compare to him. No wonder the proud Bone Robe Sister is so tolerant of him in that regard."
During the Continental Youth Soul Master Competition held in Mingdu, Ye Guyi secretly met with Nan Shuishui and Nan Qiuqiu. Nan Qiuqiu was aware of the relationship between Yu Tianhuang and Ye Guyi.
Of course, she was unaware that Xu Zihuang possessed half of the royal blood of the Sun Moon Empire.
Yu Tianlong was equally astonished and bewildered. He considered himself to be among the most talented and capable of surpassing his peers, and at less than twenty-five years old, his soul power cultivation was not far from breaking through the bottleneck of the eight-ring Soul Douluo realm.
However, compared to his cousin Yu Tianhuang, the gap was simply too great.
However, he was genuinely relieved that the crisis in Dragon City had been averted. His fellow disciples and some elders within the sect had all survived the war.
The overall strength of the Heavenly Dragon Sect far surpasses that of the Earthly Dragon Sect, both in terms of its senior elders and its young elites. Naturally, the Heavenly Dragon Sect's losses were much smaller than those of the Earthly Dragon Sect.
Yu Yangyan slowly landed beside Xu Zihuang. Looking at Xu Zihuang's face, which was extremely similar to his youngest daughter's, the sharpness and intensity in his eyes faded considerably, replaced by a complex expression.
What are your plans next?
Xu Zihuang looked at Yu Yangyan calmly, his tone indifferent.
“From the moment I was released from prison as a child, I had only one goal: to end the feud between me and them and take back everything that was rightfully mine.”
As he spoke, Xu Zihuang's figure vanished into the void, without any lingering attachment, only unwavering determination and resolve.
Yu Yangyan frowned, but quickly relaxed with a self-deprecating smile. He had thought he could protect Xu Zihuang for life in that way, but it was all just wishful thinking on his part.
Xu Zihuang's talent cannot be judged by ordinary standards.
But amidst his self-deprecation, he also saw a greater ambition in Xu Zihuang's eyes.
Xu Zihuang's departure brought the deafening cheers in Dragon City to a halt, replaced by exclamations and doubts.
Even those unaware of Xu Zihuang's public identity would subconsciously assume he was reinforcements from Shrek Academy. In their eyes, only Shrek Academy, hailed as the continent's premier academy, could cultivate such a prodigy.
As the crisis in Dragon City was resolved, news of the young prodigy from Shrek Academy killing Zhong Liwu and others spread like wildfire.
However, before the news could spread, Xu Zihuang found and reorganized the retreating Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps and the Terror Claw Soul Master Corps.
Previously, the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps and the Terror Claw Soul Master Corps were only blasted away by Xu Zihuang's mental pressure and did not suffer any substantial injuries. Now, as these two Guardian Hands Soul Master Corps rapidly retreated using their flying soul tools, they did not forget to maintain the formation of their soul tool positions.
This demonstrates the high overall quality of these two Soul Master Corps.
Flying at the forefront were none other than Xu Tianyuan, the leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, and Liao Mengkai, the leader of the Terror Claw Soul Master Corps. Both were powerful level nine Soul Masters, but Xu Tianyuan was stronger overall.
Both of them were wearing the most advanced humanoid soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire. The humanoid soul tool covering Xu Tianyuan's entire body was a deep purple color, with strange dragon patterns engraved on it. A pair of thin, semi-transparent wings spread out from his back, maintaining a stable flight.
Liao Mengkai's humanoid soul tool looked more unassuming, entirely black. In addition to his wings, he also carried two long swords on his back, and his entire body exuded an extremely sharp aura.
Xu Tianyuan and Liao Mengkai were still somewhat shaken.
That person suppressed both of their Soul Master Corps solely with mental pressure, and even killed Zhongli Wu and the others with a wave of his hand. Such terrifying combat power was definitely no weaker than any Limit Douluo.
Liao Mengkai asked Xu Tianyuan beside him in a deep voice, "Old Xu, how should we report back to His Majesty?"
"Just report the truth." Xu Tianyuan snorted coldly, a hint of resentment in his voice.
"Encountering an enemy of that level is beyond our ability to contend with. I believe His Majesty will not say anything more."
The Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps is somewhat unique among the five Great Protectors. They have always been loyal only to the royal family, but that doesn't mean they will necessarily be loyal to the current emperor. Moreover, the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps has the confidence to back up their position because they possess the largest stockpile of level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons.
Only the leaders of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps throughout the ages know that if the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps were to fight at all costs, even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps might not be their match.
After all, no matter how strong the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps is, it is impossible for them to withstand round after round of bombardment from level nine fixed-position soul cannons.
Xu Tianyuan is the current leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, and he himself is a person with an extremely strong desire for power. Although he doesn't carry all the resources of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps with him, he never leaves behind the Level 9 Fixed-Mount Soul Guidance Cannon, a strategic weapon that can change the fate of the empire.
Hearing Xu Tianyuan's words, Liao Mengkai breathed a sigh of relief. With Xu Tianyuan standing in front, the Emperor probably wouldn't blame him too much. Xu Tianyuan's status and position were undeniable; he was not only the current head of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps but also held the title of Imperial Prince, making him a figure of considerable influence within the imperial clan.
Just then, the two seemed to realize something and suddenly stopped.
"Stop everything!"
Xu Tianyuan shouted loudly, his face turning ugly.
"Circular linkage, prepare the soul-guided shield!"
The members of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps and the Terrorclaw Soul Master Corps were all selected through rigorous processes. Their exceptional combat skills allowed them to react instantly, and a massive shield of dark gold and deep purple light overlapped, protecting them inside.
Xu Tianyuan and Liao Mengkai also activated their full soul power as if facing a formidable enemy, staring intently at Xu Zihuang who stepped out of the void.
Xu Zihuang stood in the void with an indifferent expression, a look of superiority that came from looking down from above.
A flash of brilliant golden light swept across his eyes, and the terrifying mental pressure descended once more, tearing apart the combined soul guide shield released by the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps and the Terror Claw Soul Master Corps.
"Kneel down!" Xu Zihuang coldly ordered, his face expressionless.
Including Xu Tianyuan and Liao Mengkai, everyone from the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Group and the Ferocious Claw Soul Master Group fell uncontrollably downwards, kneeling on the ground.
Xu Tianyuan and Liao Mengkai's faces turned incredibly grim. They tried desperately to resist, but found that they couldn't even circulate their soul power. That sense of powerlessness caused intense fear to grow in their hearts.
Xu Tianyuan had initially been confident that his Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon could rival a Limit Douluo-level expert. But now it seemed like a complete joke. How could a truly top-tier expert possibly give him the time and opportunity to fire a Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon?
Just as they were feeling hopeless, Xu Zihuang landed on the ground and walked towards them step by step. Deep purple flames flickered in his left palm, and the oppressive aura seemed capable of destroying all life.
"This aura... it's of destructive power?!"
Upon seeing this, Xu Tianyuan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Who are you?!"
"Xu Zihuang, the only son of the King of Zihuang." Xu Zihuang said calmly, his eyes deep.
"Xu Tianran colluded with evil spirit masters to usurp power. He is not qualified to sit in that position. I'm giving you a chance to abandon darkness and embrace light. Submit or die; the choice is yours."
Xu Zihuang's few words, though brief, carried a powerful impact. Everyone present was stunned, and the way they looked at Xu Zihuang changed.
The choice that determines their fate rests on a single thought.
Chapter 519 The warmth of reunion and the beginning of revenge
News of the Sun Moon Empire's surprise attack on Dragon City first reached Tian Dou City, the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire. At Vina's suggestion, the Heavenly Soul Empire immediately dispatched powerful members of the Body Sect to provide support.
It wasn't just because of Dragon City's important strategic position to the Heavenly Soul Empire; Vina also had her own selfish motives. Dragon City was the birthplace of Yu Tianhuang, and she didn't want it to be conquered and ruined by the Sun Moon Empire.
But before the experts from the Body Sect could even arrive in Dragon City, news spread that Zhongli Wu and a group of Title Douluo evil soul masters had been suppressed by Yu Tianhuang.
However, this Title Douluo, who was only around twenty years old, possessed combat power comparable to a Limit Douluo. Moreover, based on this factual basis, Xu Zihuang's image was further mythologized, almost regarded as the only hope for the original Douluo Continent to resist the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire.
This news subsequently reached the Douling Empire, the Xingluo Empire, and Shrek Academy.
The council hall of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School.
Ning Xingxu sat in the head seat and relayed the news to Ye Guyi, Ning Tian, and Gu Lao in its entirety.
Yu Ningqing leaned against Ning Tian's chest, and from the conversation of the people present, she vaguely confirmed one thing.
"Grandpa, is Dad coming back?" Yu Ningqing wiggled her little white feet and looked at Ning Xingxu with anticipation.
Ning Xingxu smiled indulgently at Yu Ningqing and nodded in agreement.
"Ning Qing is so smart. Yes, Dad is coming back."
Ye Guyi and Ning Tian exchanged a glance, but compared to Ning Tian's overflowing joy, there was a hint of something inexplicable in Ye Guyi's eyes.
It took Gu Lao a while to come to his senses, his emotions a mixture of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep feelings of emotion, reflection, and satisfaction) and 感動 (gǎnkòu, excitement).
"Tianhuang has indeed succeeded! It's no wonder that he is so powerful, having cultivated a dual soul core that complements Yin and Yang. Perhaps in the near future, he will even be able to contend with the Beast God Di Tian."
Hearing Gu Lao's words, Yu Ningqing swung her delicate, fair legs even more joyfully. From a young age, Ning Tian had instilled in her a positive image of Xu Zihuang. Although she didn't yet understand the meaning of the so-called Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores, she knew her father must be a powerful and unparalleled hero.
A moment later, Yu Ningqing suddenly remembered something else, turned around and pouted at Ning Tian with a wronged expression.
"Mom, now that Dad is back, why hasn't he come to see Ningqing yet? Does Dad not like Ningqing?"
"How could that be? How could Daddy not like Ningqing?" Ning Tian reached out her delicate hand and gently stroked Yu Ningqing's back, comforting her with a smile.
"Didn't Grandpa just say that Dad has important things to do? He'll come to see Ningqing after he finishes those things."
Although Ning Tian is only twenty-one years old, her personality has subtly changed a lot since she met Yu Ningqing. She has lost some of her girlishness and gained more of a kind and gentle maternal glow.
"Mmm." Yu Ningqing nodded cutely, her pretty face once again beaming with a carefree and innocent smile.
The scene inside the conference hall was warm and peaceful.
As everyone was talking, a tall figure appeared from the void. The main character had appeared.
The young man's facial features were slightly cold and aloof, his perfect features were flawless, and his deep purple eyes exuded nobility and majesty.
The person who came was Xu Zihuang, who had already subdued the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps and the Terror Claw Soul Master Corps, and then returned to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Given the unequal strength of both sides, Xu Tianyuan and Liao Mengkai had no other choice. Xu Zihuang possessed pure royal blood of the Sun Moon Empire, and according to his plan, they would not only avoid any risks, but their own interests would also remain unharmed.
Without much hesitation, they compromised. Currently, they are in Xu Zihuang's Radiant Dragon Space along with the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps and the Terrorclaw Soul Master Corps.
Xu Zihuang looked around at everyone, and when his gaze fell on Yu Ningqing, the indifference in his eyes was instantly replaced by tenderness.
Ning Tian and Ye Guyi both subconsciously stood up and excitedly walked towards Xu Zihuang.
Xu Zihuang smiled slightly at the two women.
"Sorry I got back a little late."
As he spoke, Xu Zihuang looked at Yu Ningqing again, his smile undiminished.
"Ning Qing, do you know who I am?"
At this moment, Yu Ningqing was also observing Xu Zihuang. The sense of closeness that came from their blood made her feel exceptionally at ease. However, due to a child's instinct to be wary of strangers, she was still somewhat uncertain and timidly asked in a low voice.
Are you Dad?
A simple sentence caused Xu Zihuang's emotions to surge like a tide, and a gentle and bright smile slowly appeared on his face.
"My good daughter."
"Daddy!" Yu Ningqing smiled and opened her slightly chubby little hand to Xu Zihuang. This time, her voice was much more confident, and her clear and charming laughter echoed throughout the conference hall.
Ning Tian understood and loosened his embrace so that Xu Zihuang could hold Yu Ningqing more tightly. Watching the intimate interaction between the father and daughter, she was also moved, and her nose tingled with tears.
She doesn't actually want Yu Tianhuang to become too powerful; she just wants him to stay by her and her daughter's side.
After teasing Yu Ningqing for a while, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi couldn't help but exchange glances.
Ye Guyi understood and stepped forward to take Yu Ningqing.
Ning Tian was still a little confused, but Xu Zihuang took Ning Tian's hand and turned to face Ning Xingxu and Gu Lao, who were smiling.
