Douluo Continent: Copying Ya Li, the Carefree King of the Sun and Moon

"The powerful figure who appeared at the front gate had an incredibly terrifying aura; he was at least a Super Douluo level." Princess Jiujiu's voice sounded calm, but her fingers gripped the armrest tightly, as if she were about to break it at any moment. "The three elders went after him together, but they couldn't even catch a glimpse of him. That person was clearly deliberately drawing them away. By the time the elders reacted, the incident at the back gate had already occurred."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was already very clear.

The council chamber fell silent instantly, and no one spoke.

Xu Yanli leaned back in his chair, twirling a jade fan between his fingers, and suddenly spoke: "Princess Jiujiu, I have a question to ask."

Princess Jiujiu looked at him: "Please speak, Prince Xiaoyao."

"Among the things those evil spirit masters stole, was there anything special?" Xu Yanli's tone was as casual as if he were chatting about everyday things. "I mean, was there anything that the evil spirit masters were determined to get their hands on?"

Princess Jiujiu's expression changed slightly.

This subtle movement did not escape Xu Yanli's eyes at all.

A faint smile played on his lips as he continued, "Evil Soul Masters are always highly purposeful in their actions. They wouldn't take such a huge risk to break into the Star Luo Royal Family's auction house and steal things for no reason, unless..."

Chapter 121 I Want to See My Good Uncle

He paused, looked directly at Princess Jiujiu, and said, word by word, "Unless one of these items is something they are determined to get."

The atmosphere in the council chamber changed instantly, with everyone pondering the meaning behind Xu Yanli's words.

Dai Yueheng was the first to react, and said in a deep voice, "Does the Prince of Xiaoyao mean that those evil soul masters are not targeting all the auction items, but only one of them?"

Xu Yanli shrugged, looking nonchalant: "I didn't say that. I just feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the brightly lit night view of Xingluo City outside. His tone was as calm as if he were talking about something very ordinary: "Of course, this has little to do with me. I only care about one thing: when will you compensate me for the emotional distress caused by what I photographed?"

Princess Jiu Jiu took a deep breath and quickly said, "Your Highness, rest assured, within three days, Starlight Auction House will definitely send all the items you bid on to your hotel at half price as compensation for your emotional distress."

“Equivalent value?” Xu Yanli turned around, raised an eyebrow, and said with a hint of amusement, “Princess Jiujiu, the things I bid on cannot be measured in gold coins. Some of them are priceless treasures.”

It's quite clear that this whole thing was a case of using power to intimidate others.

Princess Jiujiu's face paled even more.

She knew better than anyone that Xu Yanli was telling the truth.

Those top-tier soul tools are indeed not something you can buy with just a little money.

But the item was already lost, so what could she do?

"What does the carefree prince want?" she asked directly.

Xu Yanli walked back to his seat and sat down. He tapped his jade fan lightly twice in his palm and slowly said, "It's very simple."

He held up three fingers and said, one by one, "First, Starlight Auction House has publicly stated that all lost items will be compensated at their original price, not a penny less."

"Secondly, I don't want gold coins as compensation, I just want goods of equal value. I'll have someone send over a detailed list later."

"third……"

He paused, his smile becoming meaningful: "I wish to meet His Majesty the Emperor of your Star Luo Empire."

Upon hearing this, the council chamber instantly fell silent; you could hear a pin drop, and even breathing became quieter.

Dai Yueheng's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with shock.

Princess Jiujiu's expression changed completely, and her voice tightened: "The Prince of Xiaoyao wants to see my royal brother? What is the matter?"

Xu Yanli smiled, a smile that looked gentle and harmless, but everyone present inexplicably felt a chill run down their spines.

"It's nothing serious," he said casually. "I just wanted to catch up with my uncle."

uncle.

He could clearly sense that he was being constantly monitored, and it seemed that his identity had almost been exposed. Therefore, he did not want to expose himself even more completely.

The moment those two words were uttered, everyone in the council chamber gasped, their faces filled with disbelief.

Dai Yueheng suddenly stood up, his voice trembling with excitement: "Prince Xiaoyao, you..."

"What is it?" Xu Yanli turned to look at him, the smile still on his face, but his eyes had turned colder. "The eldest son of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, what advice do you have?"

Dai Yueheng felt a tightness in his heart when he saw that look, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

He suddenly remembered that the young man in front of him was the one who had beaten his younger brother Dai Huabin to a pulp. Moreover, there were two Title Douluo standing behind him, so he couldn't afford to offend him at all.

Princess Jiujiu remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.

"I will convey the Prince of Xiaoyao's request to my elder brother." She stood up, her tone tinged with helplessness. "As for whether my elder brother is willing to see you, I cannot make that decision."

Xu Yanli also stood up, snapped his jade fan shut, and nodded slightly to her: "Then I'll have to trouble Princess Jiujiu."

After saying that, he turned and walked out, with Huo Yuhao, Yue Zhengling and Long Xiaoyao immediately following behind.

As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Dai Yueheng.

"By the way, Young Master Dai."

Dai Yueheng frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"

Xu Yanli smiled, a smile that held an indescribable meaning: "Go back and tell your father that I'll have to have a good showdown with him in a few years."

After saying that, he walked out of the council hall without looking back.

Inside the council chamber, Dai Yueheng stood motionless, his face ashen, exuding a menacing aura.

Princess Jiujiu gazed at the white-clad figure disappearing through the doorway, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

This boy was far more dangerous than she had imagined.

Stepping out of the Starlight Auction House, a night breeze blew in my face, carrying the slight chill of early autumn.

Xu Yanli stood on the steps and took a deep breath of the night air.

"Your Highness," Yue Zhengling leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to see the Xingluo Emperor?"

"What?" Xu Yanli turned to look at him, a smile playing on her lips. "Afraid I'll get the short end of the stick?"

Yue Zhengling shook her head, then nodded, her face full of worry: "After all, he is the Emperor of Xingluo. What if he were to harm you..."

"With Elder Long here, what's there to be afraid of?" Xu Yanli smiled and turned to look at Long Xiaoyao, who was wearing a mask behind him.

Long Xiaoyao didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly in agreement.

Xu Yanli withdrew his gaze and stepped down the stairs: "Let's go back to the base. There's another tough battle to fight tomorrow."

Meanwhile, in a dense forest outside Xingluo City.

Poison Immortal ripped off his black mask, let out a long breath, and exclaimed with satisfaction, "That was great!"

Behind him, more than a dozen elders of the Body Sect also took off their masks, each with a smug smile on their face.

"Sect Master, what should we do with this batch of goods?" An elder walked over carrying a heavy bundle and asked.

Du Busi glanced at the bundle and grinned, "Pick out a few valuable items and send them to the Carefree King. Take the rest back to the sect and keep them as inventory."

"Will the Starlight Auction House cause us trouble?"

"Don't worry." Poison Undying waved his hand, a shrewd glint in his eyes. "That young friend has already arranged everything. He'll take care of the compensation. We just need to take our things and leave."

The elder nodded and firmly carried the bundle on his back.

Du Bu Si looked up at the full moon in the sky and suddenly laughed: "This kid is cunning and loyal. Cooperating with him is a good deal."

After saying that, he turned around and led the group of elders, and their figures quickly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

A night breeze rustled the leaves, and the commotion vanished without a trace, as if nothing had ever happened.

Star City, Shrek Academy's conference room.

Dai Yueheng sat in the room, his face so gloomy it could drip water, and the atmosphere around him was frighteningly low.

Dai Huabin stood beside him and asked softly, "Brother, what exactly does Xu Yanli want?"

Dai Yueheng remained silent for a long time before speaking in a hoarse voice, "I don't know."

He raised his head, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes: "But I have a feeling that he came to Xingluo City not just for the competition, but for our Xingluo Empire."

Chapter 122 The final battle has begun!

The next day dawned.

The finals of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament have begun.

The city of Xingluo was deserted as everyone flocked to the square to witness this epic showdown.

The contestant tunnel was gloomy. Xu Yanli leaned against the shadows, toying with a jade fan in his hand, slowly turning it.

The deafening cheers outside could be heard clearly even through the walls, making one's ears ring.

"Your Highness," Old Ma quickly approached him and whispered, "Are you participating?"

Xu Yanli nodded slightly without saying a word; this lineup was entirely within his expectations.

"Who should we send for the first match?" Old Ma asked immediately afterward.

Xu Yanli slowly turned around and looked at the people behind him.

Huo Yuhao stood against the wall with his eyes closed, his mental detection already quietly activated, carefully sensing the movements on Shrek Academy's side.

Xiao Hongchen squatted in the corner, fiddling with several palm-sized miniature soul-guided cannons in his hands, looking completely nonchalant, as if he didn't take the match seriously at all.

Meng Hongchen stood by the window, the morning sunlight shining on her face, and the unique heterochromatic pupils of Zhu Qingbingchan clearly reflected the appearance of the competition stage in the distance.

"Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, and Meng Hongchen, let the three of them go for the first match." Xu Yanli withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

Old Ma was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, aren't you going to go on stage yourself?"

"I'm not in a hurry." Xu Yanli smiled, then swiftly unfolded his jade fan, covering half his face, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Let's see what trump cards Shrek Academy has up their sleeves."

There was something else he didn't say: he had never intended to play in this three-on-three match himself from the very beginning.

It wasn't that he was being arrogant; he just wanted to see what level Huo Yuhao and his group could achieve.

I'm even more curious to see what kind of teamwork Shrek Academy can pull off without Huo Yuhao, the core player from the original story.

Just then, the referee's voice came from the end of the contestants' passage, amplified by the soul guide device and resounding throughout the entire Soul Arena: "The first match of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, a three-on-three duel, is now beginning! Please welcome both contestants to enter the arena!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cheers outside erupted, several times louder than before, almost lifting the roof off.

Xu Yanli closed the jade fan and gently patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
