Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

No?

So suddenly?

He just received the news.

"Are you sure?" Mu En looked at Elder Song in surprise.

"Prime Minister Douling personally confirmed the identities of the two corpses," Elder Song said, "before telling our people."

“It’s only been half a day since the last intelligence report,” Mu En said, looking at Elder Song.

“This one is urgent,” Old Song said. “The actual time between the two matters is even shorter.”

"In other words, in less than half a day, a powerful figure suddenly broke into Lingdou City and killed Tianyang Douluo and Douling Emperor," An Zhen said.

something wrong.

Big problem.

Although the Douling Emperor was weak, he would certainly have powerful protectors by his side in the event of a rebellion. As for Tianyang Douluo, he was an even more formidable figure; a veteran Super Douluo, even without a 100,000-year soul ring, he was still a level 97 Power Attack-type Title Douluo.

The nobles of the Douling Empire should not possess such formidable strength.

"Judging from the wounds, Tianyang Douluo was likely severely injured in one blow and then put up some resistance before being killed. The wounds are a mix of various types, indicating that multiple people were involved. Their overall strength was similar to Tianyang's, but they gained the upper hand first," Elder Song continued. "However, this information may not be accurate, because the opponent was very cunning. Tianyang Douluo's body was probably disposed of before being hung on the city wall, and many traces have been erased, making it impossible to determine more factors."

"In other words, what's being shown so far might be a mystery," An Zhen said. "Is it some hidden family or powerful clan/sect? They don't want to show themselves, so they disposed of Tianyang Douluo's corpse."

Generally speaking, hanging the corpse of a powerful enemy on a flagpole would be a great way to boost morale and intimidate the enemy. But the enemy did not do this; instead, they concealed the evidence.

“That might be the case,” Moon said, after all, those guys did indeed possess such strength. But what benefit would that bring them? “I suspect more that evil soul masters have made a comeback.”

Moon's expression turned serious. "What is the current situation in Spirit Battle City?"

"It's all in chaos. Things happened too suddenly. Although Prime Minister Douling reacted quickly and suppressed the matter, the first opportunity had already passed, and the news still inevitably leaked out," Elder Song said.

“Only those vermin, the evil spirit masters, enjoy chaos,” Moon sneered. “The fact that no large-scale massacres have occurred is probably because they’re afraid of us and the major powers reacting.”

"I feel like things are about to get really chaotic," Anzhen said.

The emperor's death means the loss of power, and princes who aspire to the throne, including powerful princesses, may vie for it. Unless a person of prestige and strength can foresee a temporary solution to stabilize the situation, the only way to succeed is through a power struggle.

The death of Tianyang Douluo was even more serious. This was the guardian deity of the Douling Empire, equivalent to Kong Deming's position in the Sun Moon Empire. If he died so tragically, how could the remaining people not panic? Everyone was afraid that they would be next to die.

The two biggest pillars of the Douling Empire collapsed.

The rebels' morale is high, and it's already quite good that the Douling royal family hasn't descended into chaos.

“Teacher,” An Zhen looked at Mu En, “I have a special soul skill that is very good at gathering information.”

“Okay.” Mu En nodded slightly. “Just in case, An Zhen, you, Xiao Song, and Xiao Zhuang go together, and also call Shao Zhe and Le Xuan.”

"it is good."

There's Song Lao, a level 97 agility-attack type; Zhang Lexuan, a level 96 power-attack type; Yan Shaozhe, a level 95 power-attack type; and Zhuang Lao, a titled Douluo-level healing-type soul master.

“Anzhen.” Mu En looked at his disciple, “I know you have no sense of belonging to the Douling royal family, but if things don’t go well there, you can first acknowledge your prince status to stabilize the situation in Douling, and then we can talk about the rest later.”

"Woman's mouth." An Zhen reluctantly agreed. He really didn't want to get involved in this mess or get involved.

Anzhen quickly called him a good person.

“Master…” Brigitte held onto Anzhen’s wrist.

"Good girl." Anzhen gently stroked Brigitte's head. "Warm your bed at home and wait for me to come back."

"Yes."

Having a healing-type Title Douluo by your side would be an excellent guarantee, but An Zhen, who has collected countless martial souls, is essentially an all-rounder. In addition, if it were the Holy Spirit Cult's leader and deputy leader who disappeared during the eradication of the Holy Spirit Cult, having Bi Ji, whose attack and defense capabilities are not very strong, with her would be risky.

Anzhen arrived at the academy gate.

"Junior Brother," Yan Shaozhe beckoned, "I brought the level eight flight soul tool and propulsion device from the Soul Guidance Department."

Both Yan Shaozhe and Elder Song possess wings in their martial souls, granting them flight capabilities superior to other soul masters of the same rank. Elder Song's martial soul, the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, is a top-tier beast martial soul renowned for its speed, but ultimately, human strength cannot withstand such long-distance movement.

“No need.” An Zhen, holding Zhang Lexuan’s wrist, gently shook her head. “I have a faster way.”

After a brief explanation, Anzhen put the group into the stomach of the virtual world, and then launched wave after wave of attacks. Soon, Anzhen's figure appeared on an extremely high city wall.

We've arrived at Douling City.

After the deaths of Emperor Douling and Tianyang Douluo, the patrols on the city walls were increased by more than double. The patrolling guards discovered An Zhen's sudden appearance. "Who goes there!" An Zhen released a few people, and Yan Shaozhe went to negotiate.

"Wow, that's fast!" Old Song remarked, gazing at the houses below the city wall.

It's only been a minute or two.

It spans such a long distance directly.

Even if she had unlimited soul power, it would be difficult for her to arrive at such a speed.

I'm really getting old.

"It's just a little bit of ability," An Zhen said. "Let's see how things go first. If the enemy is strong or numerous, I'll head back ahead and call all the teachers and the academy's experts."

Let's have a righteous brawl.

However, it shouldn't be necessary.

Even among hidden sects and families, not all are very powerful; having one Super Douluo is already considered very strong.

"The situation doesn't seem to have deteriorated too much yet," Zhang Lexuan said, gazing at the capital city below. As the capital of the Douling Empire, it should be the most economically prosperous place, but at this moment, few people were out; it was mostly patrolling soldiers. The city gates were sealed off, and even nobles and merchants who wanted to escape couldn't. Anyone who dared to cause trouble at this time, before the Douling royal family had fallen, would be immediately branded as a traitor.

"We can't really become useless," An Zhen said. There are still some capable people; although they can't turn the tide, they haven't allowed the situation to continue to deteriorate rapidly.

Nearby, an official who appeared to be of high rank was talking to Yan Shaozhe, and then respectfully led An Zhen and his group to the Douling Imperial Palace.

We passed through one isolation and warning line after another formed by soldiers.

Enter the palace.

"Your Highness—"

Dressed in red, the Prime Minister of Douling displayed a speed and agility that belied his white-haired appearance, and knelt down in front of An Zhen with a thud.

"Your Highness, you've finally arrived." Prime Minister Douling, with snot and tears streaming down his face, reached out to hug Anzhen's leg, but Anzhen dodged him.

"Get up." An Zhen used his soul power to lift the other person up, and looked at the group of civil and military officials who rushed out of the main hall behind him. "What is the specific situation now? Where is Tianyang Douluo's body? I need to assess the strength of the thief who made the move."

Seeing that An Zhen did not object to the form of address, a look of joy flashed in the eyes of the Prime Minister of Douling. He straightened up and bowed slightly to the people beside An Zhen, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesties. On behalf of all the officials and people of Douling, I thank Shrek Academy for its assistance."

“Shrek Academy has an unshirkable duty to maintain order on the mainland,” Yan Shaozhe said. “Prime Minister, let’s get down to business first.”

"Your Highness, please follow me." Chief Douling gestured and walked towards the main hall ahead. "His Majesty and His Majesty Tianyang died under mysterious circumstances. Their bodies were barely cold when they were insulted by that villain. We cannot leave with such resentment. We have urgently made two ice coffins to temporarily place His Majesty and His Majesty Tianyang in them."

"The situation in the city is not optimistic, but with the army maintaining order, it has been temporarily stabilized. However, the actual situation is a mess, but we have covered it up for the time being." Prime Minister Douling led An Zhen and his party into the main hall. What came into view was not two bodies, but rows of ice coffins, containing men and women, the old and the young, and the strong. At a glance, there were at least twenty or thirty people.

Although these corpses were dressed in very exquisite and gorgeous clothes, it was difficult to hide their current miserable state. Missing limbs were considered relatively good; some even had half of their brains missing.

"What is this?" Yan Shaozhe frowned.

“It just so happens to be the annual ancestral worship period recently, and many members of the royal family have returned. That thief probably deliberately chose this time to launch the attack,” Prime Minister Douling explained. Looking at the corpses, his spirit, which had been holding on outside the hall, instantly collapsed. It wasn’t until Anzhen injected a strand of pure life force from the Gold of Life into his body that his overall mental state improved considerably.

"Oh?"

Old Zhuang, who hadn't said much, suddenly looked at An Zhen with surprise.

Such pure vitality.

It was truly the most extraordinary thing he had ever seen in his life.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Prime Minister Douling bowed deeply to An Zhen, feeling as if he had suddenly become many years younger.

"You can't collapse now." Anzhen walked towards the ice coffin.

If the emperor is gone, and the guardian deity is dead, and if the prime minister is also gone, the people's hearts will truly be scattered.

“Yes!” the Prime Minister said.

Anzhen stood two meters away from an ice coffin.

A figure walked up to the Prime Minister's side. It was a burly old man in his sixties with a faint sense of sternness in his eyes. He asked in confusion, "Prime Minister, isn't this support from Shrek Academy? Why are you addressing His Highness the Prince?"

The other civil and military officials also looked puzzled, with only a few showing expressions of sudden realization, as if they had remembered something.

"Many years ago, among the descendants of some royal family members who were enfeoffed by the royal family, there were two royal family members whose relationship was already several generations removed, and who had awakened the Swan Martial Soul. They had a child together and gave birth to His Highness," the Prime Minister explained. As he spoke, he took out an imperial edict and a token engraved with a swan pattern from the soul tool he carried with him. "His Highness is a descendant of the Prince of Zhongshan, and according to seniority, he is His Majesty's uncle. This is the imperial edict by which His Majesty conferred the title of Prince upon His Highness during his lifetime."
