Chapter 226: line with translation of chapter title

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Davis's smug expression and found it somewhat amusing; you really are good at finding people—you even managed to find your own husband.

Originally there might have been a turnaround, but with Yang Yun here, it's as if a deity has descended—even Davis would be doomed.

Yang Yun walked slowly, especially when seeing Zhu Zhuqing seated at the banquet table, the corner of the mouth unconsciously curved into a lovely arc.

"Please, teacher, this way." Davis's manners were impeccable; even when Yang Yun approached, Davis personally pulled out a chair for them.

But all of this was in vain.

Yang Yun said lightly: "Zhu Zhuqing, I never expected to meet you again in such a setting; I should properly thank my nominal disciple."

At that moment, Davis, who had just sat down, stiffened.

He abruptly lifted his head to look at Yang Yun and Zhu Zhuqing, and in an instant Davis understood everything.

No wonder no matter how I investigated, I couldn't find where the power behind the Zhu family came from, nor how a dozen people could let Zhu Zhuqing gradually take control of the Zhu family.

Even his own crown princess, Zhu Zhu Yun, showed nothing unusual.

It turned out to be the Po Tian Sect; everything now made sense. He understood everything, or rather, Davis had been unwilling to believe it before and now had to dispel that suspicion.

It really is true.

All that talk about not taking the field is nonsense; it's just that the time hasn't come yet.

"Old teacher, can you spare Yun'er and the unborn child's life?" Davis asked in a low voice.

Yang Yun calmly picked up the utensils and began to eat.

"Zhu Zhuqing, the Crown Prince is asking you; my Po Tian Sect will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Star Luo Empire."

Davis turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing: "Minister Zhu, Yun'er is indeed your elder sister; moreover, those who were sent to hunt you down originally were not acting on Yun'er's orders, but were instructed by the elders of your clan."

"Back then, the soul masters Yun'er sent out were only around rank twenty great soul masters, not even Soul Elders; those Soul Kings were certainly not dispatched by Yun'er's order—how could a Soul Elder command a Soul King?"

Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained unchanged as she looked at Davis.

Her gaze clear and unwavering, she said: "I naturally know how the elder sister treated me back then; after your death, the elder sister will stay in the Zhu family to safeguard the pregnancy; if the martial soul awakens as the Nether Spirit Cat, she will naturally belong to my Zhu clan."

"If it is the White Tiger martial soul, abolishing the martial soul would mean forever being an ordinary person; the Zhu family can support that. If unwilling, then"

"Crown Prince, the Zhu family now controls the court; whether you yield this position or not, the fate of the Star Luo Empire is exhausted."

Davis also wanted to rise up and resist.

But unbeknownst to him, the surroundings had already been filled with people, although none revealed their forms; Davis knew full well that even if he erupted, he would absolutely not be a match for Zhu Zhuqing.

"I have one last question: has your martial soul evolved?" Davis stared at Zhu Zhuqing, his gaze burning, and said: "I can feel the White Tiger martial soul within me trembling; this is a difference in martial soul quality."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Yang Yun, then released her martial soul and nine soul rings; the eighth and ninth rings were red hundred-thousand-year soul rings.

Behind her, the dark magic dragon wings unfolded, whipping up a gale that swept across Davis's face.

"Not bad, my martial soul has indeed evolved; it is the Xuanming Dragon Cat martial soul, its quality surpassing even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."

Davis suddenly realized and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Losing to you is no disgrace; what is your relationship with the teacher?"

Yang Yun raised a hand, sending her chopsticks flying past Davis's chest, and calmly looked into his eyes: "Your questions are too many."

At this moment, the White Tiger martial soul far on the front line suddenly felt inspired and sprang up from its resting seat: "This feeling—why do I always have the sense that a storm is approaching?"

"Report!!!"

A sudden urgent report sounded; the next second a soldier ran through the tent and knelt before White Tiger Douluo: "Borderlands' earth fire uprising, and the Spirit Empire has suddenly launched a general assault against us."

White Tiger Douluo's face suddenly changed, teeth bared as he grabbed the messenger and demanded: "What did you say? How could the earth fire and the Spirit Empire act simultaneously?"

Subordinate doesn't know!

The speed of the war's spread is always unexpectedly fast; White Tiger Douluo's nine soul rings pulsed as he shot up into the sky and flew toward the front line.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Magic Bear Douluo, and Ghost Leopard Douluo—four Titled Douluo—acted simultaneously, while Hu Liena and Evil Moon each rose an entire realm.

Unleashing the martial soul fusion skill, they swept through the army, slaughtering indiscriminately.

How could White Tiger Douluo, together with the ancestral Titled Douluo, stand by and watch the Spirit Empire slaughter their own troops, activating an amplified soul skill and charging into the battlefield?

At that moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo on the battlefield exchanged a glance, quickly approached and grabbed each other's hands; eighteen soul rings sealed off most of the area.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Two Poles Stillness Domain."

Magic Bear Douluo seized the moment, releasing the pre-charged soul skill Flaming Meteor Fall; countless massive fire meteors poured down from the sky.

Boom boom boom—under the barrage of explosions, Ghost Leopard Douluo charged into the battlefield, kicking up rolling thick smoke; the naked eye could hardly discern the situation inside.

But soon, waves of anguished cries came from within.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo felt an extremely strong tearing force striking them within the Two Poles Stillness Domain.

Just as they could barely hold on, Ghost Leopard Douluo shot up from the rolling smoke, clutching a round, bloody sphere in hand.

"White Tiger Douluo has been beheaded; surrenderers will not be killed!"

"White Tiger Douluo has been beheaded; surrenderers will not be killed!"

"White Tiger Douluo has been beheaded; surrenderers will not be killed!"

The voice, like a great bell, spread across the battlefield with the diffusion of soul power; after a brief silence of a few breaths, the Star Luo Empire's army went mad, frenziedly attacking every Spirit Empire soul master around them.

Fearless of death, as if insensible to pain, their eyes turned completely red.

"How is this possible?" Ghost Leopard Douluo felt this bore no resemblance to what he had envisioned; it shouldn't be like this.

Bang! Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo could no longer maintain the Two Poles Stillness Domain; the remaining Titled Douluo of the Dai family likewise fell into the frenzied state like ordinary soldiers.

Capturing anyone meant a frenzied massacre.

Ghost Leopard Douluo's eyes narrowed as he detected a clue, then his gaze snapped to the center of the battlefield.

At some point, a girl and a middle-aged man stood there.

"It's that middle-aged man causing trouble; don't get close to them lightly, or you'll easily fall into that frenzied state—I think it's some kind of innate domain."

Ghost Douluo looked in the direction Ghost Leopard Douluo indicated, and his pupils instantly contracted: "Withdraw! Pull back the troops, otherwise we and those Star Luo Empire soldiers will soon lose our reason alike, only ceasing when we die in battle!" (End of chapter)
