Chapter 119: Ling Family Matter Settled, Migrating to Star Luo, Returning to Shrek

Ling Luochen's grandfather held on for about another month, and then passed away with a smile amidst Ling Luochen's sorrowful crying.

Just as Ling Luochen said, his life was incomparably smooth. After becoming famous at a young age, he traveled the continent, met many confidantes, and met the love of his life near middle age. Not long after, he had his own bloodline inheritance.

Although his children were not outstanding, and could even be said to be completely terrible, he didn't value this much. On the contrary, he attached great importance to and loved his only direct granddaughter, pouring all his hopes and expectations into her. Having her by his side in his final moments, for him, wasn't it a kind of happiness and relief? In a trance, he seemed to see his wife and parents when he was young, and saw many old friends who had already passed away. His old body slowly became young, his white hair also turned black at a very fast speed, and his appearance became handsome and dashing again. If it weren't for the fact that there was no longer a trace of life in his body, someone might really think he was just asleep.

A faint ice-blue light soared into the sky, finally turning into a drizzle over the entire Heaven Dou City, carrying a touch of relief amidst the desolation.

On a city tower in the Heaven Soul Palace, Poison Immortal, with a sturdy figure and a serious face, looked to the west and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Old Man Ling is gone too. Old friends are withering day by day. The only ones still living in this world are a few of us. Alas... what a pity..."

Spirit Thought Douluo appeared behind him and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Yes, Old Mr. Ling had already made a great name in the entire soul master world before I became famous. With his potential, if it weren't for the injuries he suffered back then, I'm afraid he wouldn't have stopped at level 95, and wouldn't have had such a big impact on his lifespan."

Poison Immortal held the railing in front of him with one hand and was silent for a moment before continuing: "Life and death are determined by heaven. Even if one goes against heaven, what is the meaning for people like Old Man Ling? His life is already complete, and he has no regrets. It's us who have to face things that are more headache-inducing."

Spirit Thought Douluo nodded gently, a touch of melancholy appearing on her gentle and beautiful face. Being in a high position, she naturally saw more things than ordinary people. The behavior of the Sun Moon Empire sending dark spies into the Heaven Soul territory many times over the years had already indicated something. This was her homeland. If the Sun Moon Empire really launched a war regardless of everything, then she would definitely use her life to defend her homeland at that time...

Tears kept sliding down Ling Luochen's cheeks. She held that familiar hand tightly, just like when she was six or seven years old and protected by her grandfather. That was her only reliance in her heart at that time, and now, it was the same.

Dots of light flickered, and four soul bones slowly detached from Old Mr. Ling's body. He had used a secret method before he died. After he died, losing the restraint of soul power, these soul bones naturally detached under the action of the secret method.

At the same time, a cluster of ice-blue light spots also came. The light emitted by these light spots was very soft, and then followed the guidance of the aura and slowly entered Ling Luochen's body. Ling Luochen muffled a groan, the last tear of sorrow slid from the corner of her eye, and the fatigue and emotions accumulated over the past few days suddenly erupted. Her eyes went black, and she fainted directly.

A soft sigh came. Xu Jiujiu brought Dugu Yan to push the door and enter. The two bowed slightly to Old Mr. Ling's corpse to show their respect, and then helped Ling Luochen to the next room to rest. As for the four soul bones, Xu Jiujiu also helped her put them away and would return them to her after she woke up.

On the other side, a few Ling family elders who stood on Ling Luochen's side had already controlled the situation within the clan.

From their mouths, it was not difficult to know the Ling family's arrangements afterward.

Losing Old Mr. Ling, the only Super Douluo, the huge Ling family didn't even have a Title Douluo. Now, the highest cultivation in the Ling family was only level 89. This old man was Old Mr. Ling's cousin, and he was already over a hundred years old. If Old Mr. Ling had left two years later, maybe he would have had a chance to impact the Title Douluo cultivation, but now, it was still uncertain. Ling Luochen woke up the next day. She silently put away the four soul bones and then ran to prepare for Old Mr. Ling's funeral.

There were still many affairs that needed her to handle afterward, coupled with her poor state at this time, everything was even worse. Fortunately, there was the Ice Empress's previous deterrence, so no other accidents occurred. Everything was quite smooth.

After being busy for a period of time, Ling Luochen's state seemed to be much better, but the aura on her body became much colder and more restrained, which was a bit different from before.

This could also be understood. Losing the reliance and warmth in her heart, a person's personality would indeed change, not to mention that Ling Luochen's personality was already inclined to be like this.

The Ling family had made up their mind to become a hidden family, abandoning nearly 70% of their industries in Heaven Dou City and other places, and even this ancestral house was to be abandoned. Shu Yan gave them a chance to migrate to the Star Luo Empire in batches. The Ling family considered it for a long time, and finally, considering that Shu Yan and the others might have an extraordinary status in the Star Luo Empire, and looking at the relationship between Ling Luochen and the others, they finally agreed.

It was just that those high-level officials who originally had different hearts were all eliminated. Now, those who migrated were the main clan members of the Ling family and those powerhouses in the clan with good and stable character.

Before leaving, Ling Luochen gave two of the four soul bones to the level 89 Soul Douluo in their family, hoping that these two soul bones would help him condense the first soul core and break through to the Title Douluo level.

The two soul bones given out were a 30,000-year left arm bone and a 10,000-year torso bone. What Ling Luochen kept for herself were a 50,000-year right arm bone and a 10,000-year right leg bone. She didn't choose the most precious 10,000-year torso bone. Perhaps deep down, she still couldn't let go of the Ling family. After all, that was what her grandfather cared about the most. Leaving those two soul bones was more because she didn't want to absorb them, but more to entrust her thoughts and emotions.

After handling all this, Ling Luochen came to bid farewell to everyone.

Her leave was about to end. After returning to Shrek Academy, she would also face a series of troubles and things brought about by dropping out. Out of caution, the Snow Empress gave Ling Luochen a trace of her soul power and stored it together in the crystal in Ling Luochen's sea of consciousness. At the same time, Shu Yan didn't forget to have Elios thoroughly purify the soul beast aura in that soul power aura.

After all, Mu En had not passed away at this time, and there were quite a few Title Douluo and Super Douluo in Shrek Academy. Being cautious was always good.

At the last moment of leaving Heaven Dou City with the help of a flying soul tool, Ling Luochen hesitated for a moment, then turned around and bowed to everyone. This was not only her gratitude but also her oath. She was not good at words, but this didn't mean she had no emotions. Once she recognized a thing, she would walk firmly and unswervingly. This was her principle of conduct.

After solving everything, she would immediately go to the Star Luo Empire to meet up with Shu Yan and the others. But what she didn't know was that at that time, what awaited her would be several surprises...
