167: Tiandou's Shocking Changes
"Senior Dugu, thank you for your praise. You have become much stronger!"Lin Chuan was not proud and looked at Dugu Bo with a smile.
At this point, Dugu Bo suddenly looked very excited, but still waved his hand in a pretentious manner, "Thanks to that pill, not only did my martial soul evolve, but the remaining medicinal power also allowed me to break through to level 95. However, it's almost the limit, and things should slow down from now on."
But even so, he was already very satisfied.
The weakest Titled Douluo back then is now only one step away from becoming a Super Douluo.
"Congratulations, Senior, for making further progress!"
"Alright, stop teasing me, you little monster," Dugu Bo shook his head impatiently, "I'm afraid with your current strength, I can't even survive one move from you, right?!"
It sounded like a question, but the tone was very firm.
Lin Chuan just smiled mysteriously and did not respond.
How should he respond to this?
I can't possibly be bragging. Poison Douluo is as strong as me, right?
That doesn't sound like social etiquette, but more like sarcasm. After thinking about it, it is better to smile politely.
Fortunately, Dugu Bo did not delve into it and sighed helplessly, "Forget it. Anyway, I have no intention of competing with you. That would be asking for trouble. But when I think about someone becoming your enemy in the future, I feel sad for them."
A Titled Douluo of seventeen or eighteen years old, who also possesses a soul skill that can severely injure a Titled Douluo even at the level of a Soul Emperor.
The thought of being an enemy of such an existence was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
"What you said, senior, I am a very kind person!"
"hehe..."
This time, not only Dugu Bo, but everyone else couldn't help but roll their eyes.
"Ahem, Dean, nothing major has happened during this period, right?"
Unable to bear being stared at by several pairs of eyes, Lin Chuan dryly coughed twice and immediately changed the subject.
Shui Lanxin was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression on her face. "I thought you didn't care about your territory at all, but nothing major has happened. Neither the Spirit Hall nor the Heaven Dou Empire has made any moves. This gives us a good opportunity for development."
"It's just the calm before the storm!"
Lin Chuan shook his head, his voice sounding particularly cold.
As someone who knows the future direction, he knows very well that the Spirit Hall will eventually start a war that will affect the entire continent. It is just a matter of time.
"Dean, please train more troops for the Shui family!"
Shui Lanxin was shocked, her beautiful eyes flickering, "Is it that serious? You even want to train an army. Could it be that you, Xiaochuan, want to expand your power?"
"Of course not. I just saw some things when I came back and changed my mind." Lin Chuan shook his head. "These troops are used to protect ordinary people in the territory. Now that I have become a noble in the territory, I naturally have to provide them with shelter."
Hearing this, Shui Lanxin's eyes softened.
"I understand. I'll have someone do it as soon as possible. Do you have any other requests?"
"That's it for now. Also, keep an eye on the Spirit Hall. It won't be long before they make a big move. By then, it won't be the small fights of the past, but the might of thunder!"
Seeing Lin Chuan speak so confidently, Shui Lanxin put away her relaxed feeling and nodded solemnly.
"By the way, where are Bing'er and the others?"
"Bing'er and the others are currently training in the academy. Those kids didn't have the chance to take the Divine Exam, so they don't want to be left too far behind by you, and are trying their best to catch up!"
But now it seems that the gap has not been caught up, but has become larger and larger!
The God's test is so terrifying.
"I also know of a place for assessment, which is also very suitable for water-attribute and ice-attribute soul masters to practice. I can take them there after a while."
"real?!"
Hearing this, Shui Lanxin instantly perked up.
Dugu Bo at the side was also somewhat tempted, and asked tentatively, "Lin boy, do you think I am qualified to participate in the assessment? Although I can't compare with you in terms of talent, I am also a Titled Douluo after all."
"It should be no problem to pass the test, but it is unlikely that the gods will take notice of you and pass down your throne to you."
Lin Chuan spread his hands and directly stated his guess.
In his opinion, Dugu Bo's martial soul has now evolved into a top-level martial soul. Even if he eventually cultivates to the ninety-ninth level of peerless douluo, he can only become a guardian of the divine throne at most.
That is to say, waiting for the destined person to become the successor, and finally sacrificing one's own existence.
"Is that so?"
Dugu Bo's face turned slightly cold, and he felt somewhat unwilling.
"In fact, Senior Dugu, you don't have to force it. Although you cannot become a god, as long as Yanzi inherits the Earth God, as a Supreme God, you are qualified to bring two people into the God Realm. So, Senior, you don't need to become a god to have an endless lifespan."
Lin Chuan once again told everyone what he knew.
"Is there such a good thing?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression immediately looked much better.
Although he had no chance of becoming a god, he could still benefit from the glory of his own granddaughter.
Lin Chuan didn't care what others thought. He turned to look at Shui Lanxin and said, "Dean, please send a message to Bing'er and the others, asking them to come to Xueyuan City as soon as possible!"
"I'll go now!"
Shui Lanxin suddenly stood up and disappeared from the room in an instant.
This is a rare opportunity. Even if Shui Bing'er and others cannot gain recognition from the gods and become inheritors like Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, it would be great as long as they can pass the test.
Didn't you see that Lin Chuan and the other two had undergone such a big change because of the test?
"You are really anxious!"
Lin Chuan shook his head, but also expressed his understanding.
"Brother Chuan, I'll go back to my family to see grandpa and mother first." Ye Lingling said softly.
"Okay," Lin Chuan nodded with a smile, "Yanzi, you haven't seen Senior Dugu for a long time, so you must have a lot to talk about. Let's take a good rest!"
Naturally, everyone had no objection and then left.
Lin Chuan suddenly turned his head to look at Zhu Zhuqing who had remained silent. At this time, the girl also looked at him, and the two of them just stared at each other.
"I almost forgot about you. I'll arrange a room for you first. Come with me!"
The manor is very large, but there are only a few people living in it.
After personally settling Zhu Zhuqing down, Lin Chuan turned and walked towards his room. However, before he had gone far, the vital energy of heaven and earth began to surge behind him.
"He started practicing as soon as he got back. He really can't sit still!"
He couldn't help but complain in a low voice, but in his heart Lin Chuan still admired this woman who worked hard enough to change her fate. He could even say that she was a rare good woman.
"It's a pity... some people are blind!"
Lin Chuan chuckled and shook his head, his figure gradually walking away.
In the room, the cold and beautiful girl who was originally in a meditative state suddenly opened her eyes, with complex light flashing in her beautiful eyes, and then slowly closed them again.
…
Lin Chuan stayed in the manor for the next three days.
After receiving Shui Lanxin's message, Shui Bing'er and other members of the Tianshui team rushed to Xueyuan City as soon as possible, and when they heard that they would be taken to the place of divine test, everyone was extremely excited.
Especially the girl Shuiyueer, who kept urging us to set off as soon as possible.
Lin Chuan was really at a loss as to what to do about the noise, but fortunately after Shui Lanxin and Shui Bing'er's persuasion, the little girl finally calmed down.
After resting for a few more days, he planned to set off for Poseidon Island.
However, the arrival of an uninvited guest suddenly disrupted the plan.
"Lin boy, come out quickly!"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Dugu Bo rushed in in a hurry. He spoke so urgently that even his brows could be seen to be filled with a heavy look.
Lin Chuan couldn't help but frowned, "Senior Dugu, what happened to make you panic?"
"Prince Xue Xing of Tian Dou City sent a letter saying that something has happened in Tian Dou City and that Emperor Xue Ye has suddenly been poisoned. He wants me to go over and see if I can solve the problem."
"Emperor Xue Ye was poisoned?!"
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Lin Chuan's face suddenly changed.
But soon, his brows were tightly furrowed again.
It shouldn't be so early. There are still at least three years before Qian Renxue takes action. Or is there some reason that her plan was brought forward?
But now, neither the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect nor the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family have been exterminated. Isn't Qian Renxue afraid of failure if she acts in such a hurry?
"I say, don't just stand there, come with me now, it will be too late if you are any later!"
Dugu Bo urged again.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After all, this letter was sent by Xue Xing, who saved his life. In addition, Dugu Bo did not want to see Emperor Xue Ye get into trouble, which would cause turmoil in the entire Tiandou Empire.
"Okay, I'll go with you, Senior."
Lin Chuan could only suppress the doubts in his heart and slowly stood up.
"Grandpa, let me go with you!" Dugu Yan suddenly said.
Ye Lingling also stood silently beside Lin Chuan. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was very clear.
Before Lin Chuan could speak, Dugu Bo shook his head first, "Yanyan, don't follow us. Lin and I will travel light and head to Tiandou City as soon as possible. You guys stay in Xueyuan City. I will feel more at ease with Dean Shui here."
"Listen to Senior Dugu. Yanzi and Lingling, you two should stay."
Seeing both of them say this, the other girls could only nod.
Shui Lanxin's face was solemn. "Don't worry, Your Majesty Dugu. I will take good care of these children. You and Xiaochuan must be careful on this trip."
Dugu Bo smiled with ease, "Don't worry, with my cultivation level, I can go anywhere in the world, not to mention that there is this little monster here, so we will go first!"
After a brief farewell, Lin Chuan left Xueyuan City with Dugu Bo.
Time was running out, and the two had no time to find a horse to flatter them. They continued to rush towards Tiandou City on foot.
Fortunately, Tiandou City was not too far from Xueyuan City, and the two of them had strong cultivation bases, so it only took them two days to vaguely see the outline of the city.
Without being blocked, Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo successfully entered Tiandou City.
As they were heading towards the Tiandou Palace, they came face to face with a team of about a hundred cavalrymen, who were galloping at high speed on the street with a murderous aura about them.
Capturing this scene, Dugu Bo's expression became more solemn.
"It seems that the situation is more serious than imagined. The Tiandou Empire is about to change!"
As the emperor of one of the two major empires today, if Emperor Xue Ye dies, the situation on the entire continent will undergo earth-shaking changes. At that time, the emperor will be replaced and the struggle for imperial power will occur, which will undoubtedly damage the national strength.
"Let's go to the palace first and take a look at the situation first!"
Lin Chuan looked normal, but his pace subconsciously quickened.
When entering the palace, Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo did not encounter any obstructions due to their special identities. After all, the former was a powerful marquis of the empire, and the other was a royal guest of the Tiandou Empire and a Titled Douluo. Both of them had considerable authority.
However, once inside the palace, the atmosphere changed significantly.
Lin Chuan released his mental power unscrupulously, and the situation inside the entire palace did not escape his eyes.
You don't know until you see it. It's shocking.
"Senior Dugu, I'm afraid we are too late. Emperor Xue Ye is already dead and doesn't look like he just died. However, there has been no news of his death from the palace..."
"Why is it so sudden?!"
Dugu Bo showed a look of horror.
"Someone is causing trouble!"
Lin Chuan has now basically confirmed the situation, it should be Qian Renxue who was behind it.
Although she didn't know why the other party was suddenly so anxious after lurking in the Tiandou Empire for so long, she did it.
Just when the two of them arrived outside Emperor Xue Ye's bedroom, they were stopped.
Soldiers covered in armor and holding spears and sharp blades blocked the way.
"Make way, we have an urgent matter to discuss with Your Majesty!" Dugu Bo took out his unique gold guest medal and held it in front of all the soldiers.
The captain of the leading soldiers didn't even look at him, and responded coldly, "His Majesty is resting. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that no one can enter the palace to disturb him. Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy!"
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, "Don't you recognize the gold medal in my hand?"
"I can't read, I just follow the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The captain of the soldiers had a gloomy face, and one hand was even on the hilt of the sword at his waist, refusing to give in at all.
"Why waste your words on them?"
Lin Chuan spat secretly, then turned into a shadow and rushed forward.
The captain of the soldiers looked tense and shouted, "Enemy..."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish his words, he was hit hard on the back of his head. His vision went black and he fell to the ground. Even the rest of the soldiers were knocked unconscious almost at the same time.
In just the blink of an eye, all the soldiers blocking the road were captured.
"Boy Lin, you are too impulsive!" Dugu Bo was obviously unable to react.
Lin Chuan smiled nonchalantly, "He's already dead, so why would he have time to tangle with these guys outside? And Senior Dugu, haven't you noticed yet? These guys in front of us are not the Royal Guards, they are all soul masters, and they are all very powerful!"
There are a total of fifty people, and no one is lower than level 50.
Standing outside the bedroom of Emperor Xue Ye, not letting anyone in, and only following the orders of the Crown Prince, this was obviously not normal.
"Let's go, Senior Dugu, let's go and see what kind of monsters they are. I am a marquis of the Tiandou Empire after all, and I can't let the empire fall into chaos like this."
At this point, Dugu Bo didn't say anything more and hurriedly followed Lin Chuan into the bedroom.
However, at this moment, several auras approached, and a leisurely male voice came from inside, "Brother Lin Chuan, it's been a long time since we last met. I really didn't expect that you, who had disappeared for two years, would suddenly appear in the palace."
Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo stopped and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
I saw Tiandou Empire's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe walking out slowly, followed by two figures.
"It's been a long time since we last met, Your Highness. I never thought that we would meet again under such circumstances. The world is truly unpredictable!"
Lin Chuan chuckled and greeted, not feeling nervous at all.
Xue Qinghe is still as handsome as ever, his temperament has not changed at all, and he has a smile on his face that is as warm as spring breeze, giving people an approachable feeling.
As for the two old men who were one body position behind him, they were wearing cloth robes and had a restrained aura. It was obvious that they were not from the royal family and they were all masters.
"I wonder why Brother Lin Chuan came all the way from Snowfield City? And he also attacked the Royal Guards. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Xue Qinghe walked to five steps away from Lin Chuan and stopped, sighing softly and asking.
Lin Chuan looked at him with a smile, and instead of answering, he asked, "Senior Dugu and I came here naturally to save the Tiandou Empire from disaster. Why don't you, Your Highness, introduce the identities of these two His Majesties to me?"
The strength of the two people behind him was revealed, and Xue Qinghe's face finally changed.
