Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 119 Ling's family affairs, migration to Xingluo, return to Shrek

Ling Luochen's grandfather persisted for about another month, and then passed away with a smile amid Ling Luochen's sad cries.

Just as Ling Luochen said, his life was extremely smooth. After becoming famous at a young age, he traveled around the continent and made many female confidants. When he was approaching middle age, he met the love of his life, and soon he had his own bloodline inheritance.

Although none of his children were outstanding, and some could even be said to be completely terrible, he did not take it seriously. On the contrary, he attached great importance to and doted on his only granddaughter, pouring all his hopes and expectations into her. Wasn't it a kind of happiness and comfort for him to have her by his side before his death?
In a trance, he seemed to see his wife and parents when they were young, and many old friends who had passed away. His old body slowly became younger, his white hair turned black at a very fast speed, and his appearance became handsome and elegant again. If there was no trace of life left in him, some people would probably think he was just asleep.

A faint ice-blue light rose into the sky, and finally turned into a drizzle over the entire Tiandou City, bringing a sense of relief in the desolation.

On a tower of the Tianhun Palace, Du Bu Si, a man with a strong build and a serious face, looked to the west and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Old man Ling is gone too. Old friends are dying out. There are only a few of us left in this world. What a pity... What a pity..."

Ling Nian Douluo appeared behind him and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, Mr. Ling had already made a great name for himself in the entire soul master world before I became famous. With his potential, if he had not been injured that year, I am afraid he would not have remained at level 95, and his life span would not have been affected so much."

Du Bu Si held the fence 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's will, what meaning does it have to a man like Old Man Ling? His life has been fulfilled and he has no regrets. But we have to face something more troublesome."

Ling Nian Douluo nodded gently, a trace of melancholy appeared on her warm and beautiful face. Being in a high position, she naturally saw more things than ordinary people. The Sun-Moon Empire's behavior of sending secret discs into the Tianhun Territory many times in recent years has already foreshadowed something. This is her homeland. If the Sun-Moon Empire really launched a war regardless of everything, then at that time she will definitely defend her homeland with her life...

……

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

With flickering lights, four soul bones slowly separated from Grandpa Ling's body. He had used a secret technique before he died. After his death, he lost the restraint of his soul power, and these soul bones naturally fell off under the effect of the secret technique.

At the same time, there came a group of ice-blue light spots. The light emitted by these light spots was very soft, and then slowly entered Ling Luochen's body along with the traction of the breath. Ling Luochen groaned, and the last drop of tear rolled down the corner of her eye. The fatigue and emotions accumulated over the past few days suddenly burst out. Her eyes went dark, and she fainted.

A light sigh was heard, and Xu Jiujiu pushed aside Dugu Yan and walked in. The two of them bowed slightly to the body of Old Man Ling 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 collect them and would return them to her after she woke up.

On the other hand, the few elders of the Ling family who stood on Ling Luochen's side had already taken control of the situation within the clan.

It is not difficult to find out the Ling family’s future arrangements from them.

Without Grandpa Ling, the only Super Douluo, the Ling family no longer has a Titled Douluo. The highest level of the Ling family is only level 89. This old man is Grandpa Ling's cousin and is over 100 years old. If Grandpa Ling had passed away two years later, he might have had a chance to become a Titled Douluo, but now, it is still uncertain. Ling Luochen woke up the next day. She kept the four soul bones in silence and then went to prepare for Grandpa Ling's funeral.

There were still many things she needed to deal with afterwards, and her poor condition at the moment made things even worse. Fortunately, thanks to the Ice Emperor's previous deterrence, no other accidents occurred, and everything went smoothly.

……

After being busy for a while, Ling Luochen's condition seemed to be much better, but his aura became colder and more restrained, which was quite different from before.

This is understandable. If a person loses the support and warmth in his heart, his personality will indeed change, not to mention that Ling Luochen's personality tends to be like this.

The Ling family has made up their minds to become a secluded family, and has abandoned nearly 70% of their industries in Tiandou City and other places, even this ancestral home. Shu Yan gave them a chance to migrate to the Xingluo Empire in batches. The Ling family considered it for a long time, and finally, considering that Shu Yan and others might have an extraordinary status in the Xingluo Empire, and looking at the relationship between Ling Luochen and several others, they finally agreed.

However, those high-level people who originally had disloyalty were eliminated, and those who migrated now were all the Ling family's original members and those strong people in the family who had good and stable character.

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

The two soul bones given away were a 30,000-year-old left arm bone and a 10,000-year-old torso bone. Ling Luochen kept the 50,000-year-old right arm bone and the 10,000-year-old right leg bone for herself. She did not choose the most precious 10,000-year-old torso bone. Perhaps she still couldn't let go of the Ling family in her heart. After all, that was what her grandfather cared about the most. Leaving behind those two soul bones was not because she wanted to absorb them so much, but more to express her thoughts and emotions.

After dealing with all this, Ling Luochen came to say goodbye to everyone.

Her vacation was about to end. After returning to Shrek Academy, she would have to face a series of troubles and problems caused by dropping out. Out of caution, Xue Di gave Ling Luochen a soul power that belonged to her and stored it in the crystal in Ling Luochen's spiritual sea. At the same time, Shu Yan also did not forget to let Alex completely purify the soul beast aura in that soul power.

After all, Moon had not passed away yet, and there were quite a few Titled Douluo and Super Douluo in Shrek Academy, so it was always better to be cautious.

At the last moment before leaving Tiandou City with the help of the flying soul guide, 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 speaking, but it did not mean that she had no emotions. Once she had identified something, she would go on unswervingly. This was her principle in dealing with people.

After everything is settled, she will immediately go to Xingluo Empire to join Shu Yan and his men, but what she doesn't know is that by then, there will be several surprises waiting for her...
