The Tree World Descends into Douluo Continent

Chapter 350: The Pope's Order Reappears

Li Xun and Zhu Zhuqing were walking in the city.

Everywhere I looked there were crowds of supporters, and judging by their clothes, most of them must have fled here from other cities.

The reason they chose to escape here was because Tianxing City was close to the sea.

Although the industrial level was not high in this era, it was still easy to catch fish with the ability of soul masters, so there was no need to worry about going hungry.

However, Li Xun noticed that although these people did not seem to be starving, there was a dullness in their eyes. They sat against the walls of the houses along the street, with numbness on their faces.

Soon, a team of guards came from the center of the city.

Many decadent people on the street immediately perked up when they saw the guards, and then they all lowered their heads.

Many people even secretly held a wooden statue of him and whispered something.

This made Li Xun feel a little confused.

However, the two of them had important matters to attend to and did not want to stay, so they headed towards the city center.

I found a shop in the corner of a back street, and an old man opened the door a crack.

Seeing the old man's vigilant eyes, Li Xun flipped his hand and took out a token from the soul guide.

When the old man saw the token, his eyes lit up and his body trembled unconsciously. He quickly opened the door, waited for the two to enter the room, stuck his head out to look, and then quickly closed the door.

The situation has developed to this point, and the forces of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect have basically withdrawn long ago, and only a few scattered scouts remain here.

"Young Master, why are you here?" After entering the house, the old man quickly made two cups of tea, then stood aside respectfully.

"I came here to do something." Li Xun immediately asked about the current situation and whereabouts of the Zhu family.

"Although the Zhu family has always been an alliance with the Dai family, I don't know what happened. Now it is no longer the same as before. I heard that the entire mansion is under strict control. Young Master, you must be careful when you go there."

"Got it. Now you don't need to do anything else in Xingluo. For safety reasons, please contact the rest of the people and evacuate."

Li Xun became more alert upon hearing this, while Zhu Zhuqing became nervous.

"Thank you, Young Master." The old man was overjoyed and bowed quickly.

"Be careful when evacuating." Li Xun nodded, then took Zhu Zhuqing out of the room and walked towards the Zhu family mansion.

After reminder.

Li Xun did not enter the Zhu family mansion directly, but first used his mental power to explore it.

It was discovered that just as the old man said, there were more than a dozen people closely following outside the Zhu family mansion.

Avoiding the sight of these people, the two of them slipped into the mansion.

Perhaps it was because she was homesick, the closer Zhu Zhuqing was to her family, the more nervous she became.

Seeing this, Li Xun took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and covered the entire mansion with his mental power. He soon found a figure that looked somewhat similar to Zhu Zhuqing.

After thinking for a while, he pulled Zhu Zhuqing over.

"Third sister."

"Are you the younger sister? Why are you here!" Zhu Zhuqing's third sister was shocked. She stood up suddenly and quickly pulled the two of them into the room.

"What happened? Why are you so careful at home?" The behavior of Zhu Zhuqing's third sister made Li Xun alert.

Close the door.

Zhu Zhuqing's third sister looked at Li Xun and Zhu Zhuqing with a complicated expression: "Actually, this matter may also have something to do with you."

Through the narration, Li Xun also got a general understanding of the matter.

Because of their martial spirits, the Zhu family has always been the Dai family's marriage partner, and the Zhu family will unconditionally support most decisions of the royal family.

Fighting to the death with the Spirit Hall has always been what Xingluo Emperor advocated.

However, in the past two months, the Zhu family discovered that some of Xingluo Emperor's behaviors were very strange.

After careful investigation, the Zhu family discovered that since some time ago, Emperor Xingluo had developed a tacit understanding with the Spirit Hall.

This led to the Spirit Hall stopping its attack and remaining besieged at the border even though it clearly had the strength to crush the Starfall Empire.

After all, Emperor Xingluo is the ruler of a country, and coupled with the iron-blooded tactics of the royal family in the past, his control over the empire is extremely strong.

The Zhu family's little tricks did not escape the other party's eyes and ears, and soon reached the ears of Emperor Xingluo.

However, the two families have been intermarried for generations, and although this matter involves spying on the royal family, due to the relationship between the two families, it will not affect the Zhu family.

But this is just the Zhu family's unilateral idea.

The layers of surveillance and control outside the Zhu family mansion are the best proof.

After this happened, a group of people from the Zhu family sat together to discuss the matter, and finally they thought of Li Xun and Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing's identity is no secret to many people, and the name Li Xun has become more and more popular in recent years.

If it weren't for someone who was absolutely trusted, it would be hard for outsiders not to guess what role the Zhu family played in this.

I'm afraid there's more reasons than this, Li Xun thought to himself.

The Xing Luo Emperor moved closer to the Wuhun Empire but did not surrender. He continued to send troops to the front line to create small-scale wars. I'm afraid this has something to do with Bibi Dong.

"We came here this time because Zhu Qing is worried about you. If you want to leave, I will take you back to the Tiandou Empire."

"Go to Tiandou?" The third sister who was talking to Zhu Zhuqing was startled, and shook her head after a moment:

"We can't get out. There are both open and hidden lines outside the Zhu family's mansion, and there are many Zhu family members. If we dare to try to escape, it will definitely cause a chain reaction."

"Third sister, don't worry about this. Brother Li Xun has a way." Zhu Zhuqing held the third sister's hands tightly and said softly.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's serious expression, the third sister looked at Li Xun again and said, "Are you sure? Did you bring the ultimate expert from Sea God Island with you?"

Li Xun shook his head: "Don't worry, we wouldn't come here if there was no other way."

"Okay! I'll go find my mother." The third sister thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, stood up and walked out. Looking at the back of Zhu Zhuqing's third sister, Li Xun considered the relationship between the Zhu family and the Dai family, so he released his mental power.

Only when I saw that she really had no intention of tipping off did I let down my guard a little.

In just a moment, the most important people of the Zhu family gathered together.

Among them were Zhu Zhuqing's mother, Zhu Zhuqing's second sister, third sister, and even Zhu Zhuqing's eldest sister Zhu Zhuyun.

After asking the reason, I found out that Zhu Zhuyun had returned to the Zhu family since the Xingluo Emperor and the Zhu family had been at odds with each other.

"I'll send you out first." Looking at the people in the room, Li Xun created several wooden clones: "You just need to hold on to my clones tightly."

"Wait a minute, my father is still in the palace discussing state affairs and will be back later. What should I do?" Zhu Zhuyun had a complicated expression.

"It's okay, you guys go first, Zhuqing and I will wait here. If we have too many people, it will be risky."

After Li Xun finished speaking, he didn't wait for their consent, and decisively called on his clone to send the person out with Flying Thunder God.

After doing all this, he took Zhu Zhuqing to find a place to sit down and waited.

I thought I would have to wait very late, but I didn't expect that something happened at the Zhu family mansion after only half an hour.

At this time, teams of soldiers had surrounded the Zhu family, some of them equipped with heavy weapons.

A tall figure walked into the mansion surrounded by this group of people, and next to him was a relatively thin middle-aged man.

Li Xun had anticipated this situation.

Not long after these main members of the Zhu family disappeared, some maids and guards in the mansion became anxious, and there were so many people that Li Xun was unwilling to spend any effort.

The Zhu family’s mansion is like a sieve, full of holes.

Seeing someone about to enter the backyard, Li Xun took Zhu Zhuqing out.

"Father." Zhu Zhuqing looked at the relatively thin middle-aged man and called softly.

Anxiety appeared on the middle-aged man's face. He opened his mouth, glanced at the tall man next to him, and finally swallowed his words back.

"Oh? You look a bit like your childhood. You must be Zhu Zhuqing, right? Then the one next to you must be Li Xun, right?" The tall man next to Zhu's father looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said with a smile.

"That's right, you are the Xingluo Emperor?" Li Xun asked with a smile.

"Exactly."

Emperor Xingluo nodded, waved to his subordinates behind him, and smiled: "I wonder why you came to Xingluo this time?"

The guards behind him received instructions, stepped forward in a circle, and tremblingly stood between Li Xun and Emperor Xingluo.

The name of Li Xun is now known to everyone in the Xingluo Empire. Although it is not to the point where a child would cry, it is also someone that no one wants to face.

After all, even the Haotian Sect, which was once the number one sect on that continent, suffered heavy losses at the hands of the other side.

"My wife misses her parents a little, so I came back with her this time. If my father-in-law and mother-in-law agree, I want to take them to Tiandou to spend their remaining years in peace."

Li Xun met the gaze of Emperor Xingluo and smiled sincerely: "Emperor Xingluo should be able to understand the painstaking efforts of us juniors, right?"

"It is indeed a bit filial."

The smile on Emperor Xingluo's face disappeared, and he reached out and patted Zhu's father on the shoulder: "Old Zhu, you found a good son-in-law!"

"Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely right." Zhu's father looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Li Xun with a smile on his face, and then spoke to Emperor Xingluo in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Hearing this, the smile on Emperor Xingluo's face gradually faded, and the hand on Zhu's father's shoulder couldn't help but exert some force:

"Such a happy event, Old Zhu, why don't you discuss it with me? Given the relationship between our two families, how can I stop you from going to Tiandou to enjoy happiness?"

"We have only just arrived, but I didn't expect His Majesty to come so soon. This is a bit beyond my expectations."

Seeing the embarrassment on Zhu's father's face, Li Xun smiled and said, "I have just sent them away with my mother-in-law's consent. Now it depends on what my father-in-law thinks."

"I don't think your majesty would be the evil one to stop us, right?"

Upon hearing this, Father Zhu's heart moved, the smile on his face gradually faded, his whole temperament became calm, and he said to Li Xun: "That's great."

"Old Zhu, I don't mean to stop you from enjoying life, but the Xing Luo Empire can't do without you now. Do you want to watch Xing Luo fall?"

Emperor Xingluo's expression changed slightly, and he held Father Zhu's shoulders tightly.

"Your Majesty, you and I know the current situation of Xingluo, so let's not talk about this anymore."

It seemed that the absence of his family made Zhu's father take off his disguise, and his tone was unusually calm when answering the questions from Emperor Xingluo.

"Your Majesty, since my father-in-law has said so, why not let him reunite with his family? Or are you waiting for someone?" Li Xun sensed a few strands of energy and narrowed his eyes.

With a thought in his mind, a clone split out from behind him, holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand and disappearing on the spot.

Li Xun's action startled everyone present, and they quickly turned their heads to look around, trying to find the figures of his clone and Zhu Zhuqing.

Emperor Xing Luo did not expect that Li Xun would have such a space-related soul skill.

But since he had been exposed by Zhu's father, he simply stopped hiding it: "I am indeed waiting for someone. I think you are more familiar with these people than I am."

With a flip of his hand, a token appeared and flashed before Li Xun's eyes before being collected.

"Pope's order?" Seeing the token in the hand of Emperor Xingluo, Li Xun frowned and became more certain about what he was thinking.

"Li Xun, I didn't expect you to come to Xingluo."

Suddenly, a sharp and feminine voice was heard, followed by three figures appearing in different locations of the Zhu family mansion.

"It's Elder Ju and Elder Gui. Who is this?" Li Xun was not surprised by the appearance of the three people, but he had no impression of one of them.

"Saint Dragon Douluo, Tuoba Xi." Seeing that he was being looked down upon, Tuoba Xi said in a deep voice with a cold face.

Li Xun looked around and asked, "What do you guys mean?"

"When we came out, His Holiness the Pope instructed that if we wanted to see you, we must invite you to the Spirit Hall." Ju Douluo covered his mouth and chuckled.
