Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 312 The Villain Accuses First, Ling Luochen is Wrongfully Accused

The exit of the frost-covered forest.

After spending two years and two months in the far north, including the month before departure, the group has been away for two years and three months, and it's finally time to go back.

Apart from Miaoxin and Jiang Peng, everyone else was here. Miaoxin had to stay in the Divine Fire Purgatory to cultivate the Mysterious Mirror of the Demon Flame.

Jiang Peng, however, stubbornly stayed. When it comes to pursuing girls, there are three key points.

First, persevere.

Second, shamelessness.

Third, persist in being shameless.

In any case, Jiang Peng is already very familiar with this.

Ling Luochen looked at Yuwen Tuo with reluctance and said, "Xiao Tuo, please be careful on your journey. I also need to go back to the Star Luo Empire first, after all, there are some things I need to explain back to you."

“Okay, I think I’ll come to see you soon,” Yuwen Tuo said with a smile. He understood.

Ling Luochen had already joined the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship, so she couldn't just leave without saying goodbye. Besides, the remains of several people were still inside her soul tool, sealed in a vacuum environment by her ice, so they wouldn't decompose.

He already has a way to help Ling Luochen become stronger, and he will go to find her later.

After bidding farewell to Ling Luochen outside the dense forest, everyone used their flying soul tools and took off together, flying towards the Heavenly Soul Empire.

"After holding it in for so long, I feel like I want to kill someone again. Shrek Academy, evil soul masters, just you wait," Yuwen Tuo said with a wicked smile.

Next, there may be an opportunity to take down both the evil soul masters and the titled Douluo of Shrek Academy.

An opportunity to eliminate two enemies in one fell swoop is one that cannot be missed.

A few days later.

Ling Luochen finally returned to the Star Luo Empire, but what greeted her was not the joy and welcome of a long-awaited reunion.

But
Ling Luochen rushed back to the Hall of Offerings, wanting to let his teacher, the Immortal Physician Douluo, know that he was safe.

"Teacher, I'm back!"

"Luo Chen, you're still alive?!" Wang Xian'er exclaimed with surprise, but also with some doubt and even worry.

“Yes, teacher, I’m sorry to have worried you during this time. I’ve been cultivating in the far north and it’s inconvenient for me to come back right now,” Ling Luochen said.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to come back?" Just then, a sharp shout rang out, and a group of disciples from the Hall of Worship, led by several elders, surrounded them. "You traitor, you went your own way and killed your compatriots. Today you will pay the price."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Ling Luochen was puzzled. "May I ask, Venerable Elder, what mistake did Luochen make? If it's because I returned late, it's because I was seriously injured before and only just recovered. After that, I cultivated in the far north. How could I have killed any of my fellow countrymen?"

"Still dare to argue? Both Lord Juli and Lord Ziling said that more than two years ago, you went to the far north to hunt soul beasts. It was going very smoothly until you found a 100,000-year-old soul beast that was in the process of advancing. You instigated Lord Juli and Lord Ziling to attack it, saying that it was a rare opportunity. As a result, the Titan Snow Demon King was brought out, which seriously injured the two lords. You even used your own people as shields while you were running away, which resulted in the three of them being completely destroyed so that you could survive and live a life of ignominy. And now you still have the nerve to come back?" a disciple of the Offering Hall accused.

Ling Luochen was taken aback. "I didn't. The two Your Majesties discovered that 100,000-year-old soul beast. I even advised them not to attack. I certainly didn't use my companions as shields. I survived because kind people saved me."

Ling Luochen would not reveal the matter of Yuwen Tuo's divine examination; she understood the principle that the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind.

Therefore, she only mentioned the kind-hearted person.

The problem is, how could Giant Strength Douluo and Purple Spirit Douluo lie through their teeth and frame her? They were the ones who provoked the Titan Snow Demon. After the Snow Demon King appeared, they ignored the children nearby and only cared about escaping, which led to her being seriously injured and the others losing their lives.

It's not surprising that the two Title Douluos returned to Star Luo alive. After all, they were Title Douluos, and as long as they were determined to escape, they still had a chance of survival.

Ling Luochen had a very smooth first half of her life, which made her somewhat naive.

Although these two titled Douluo were spared, the trouble they caused this time was quite significant.

The children they were tasked with protecting when they went to hunt soul beasts were all nobles, yet they failed to bring back a single one. This responsibility was immense.

Even if they are titled Douluo, they will still be severely punished.

After all, there are still differences between titles. For example, experts like the Healing Immortal Douluo and the Shattered Star Douluo who cultivated to become Super Douluo through their own efforts have a status ten times higher than those who cultivated through medicine.

Therefore, their only option is to shirk responsibility.

They actually went back secretly and found the bodies of those people, but Ling Luochen was not among them.

They concluded that she had escaped with her life and disappeared without a trace. Because they were worried that Ling Luochen would reveal the truth when he returned, they came back early to falsely accuse her.

Two years had passed, and they thought Ling Luochen was long dead. They never expected him to suddenly reappear, so they brought up the old matter again and decided to strike first.

"Still dare to argue? Do you think we, the titled Douluo, would slander you?" Just then, Giant Strength Douluo and Purple Spirit Douluo walked over with their hands behind their backs and said angrily, "If you hadn't instigated us, why would we have taken action? This matter is also our fault, but we have been trying to make amends. At that time, we risked our lives to hold off Titan Snow Demon King so that you children could leave first. But you relied on your superior cultivation to use them as shields and did everything you could to save your own life."

These two weren't idiots; they didn't simply push all the blame onto Ling Luochen, but took some responsibility themselves.

They simply downplayed the truth, changing it from their own greed to an impulsive act instigated by Ling Luochen.

Admitting mistakes and correcting them sounds much more believable.

The children's families also forgave them, saying that the fault did not lie with the two Your Majesties.

On the contrary, Ling Luochen was now speechless, stammering, "That's not true, it really isn't true!"

She, the Snow Princess, had never been slandered like this before, yet her family would not come out to help her or make enemies of two Title Douluos.

After all, her family was said to be on par with Duke Baihu, but that only meant they were dukes in status; their strength was far inferior. Her family had neither a titled Douluo nor any military power.

Ling Luochen's only support was the healer Douluo who led her into the Hall of Offerings.

But the Immortal Healer wasn't actually her real master. She taught Ling Luochen in the same way she taught everyone else; there was only so much she could do for her.

The families of those children came one by one, demanding that Ling Luochen pay with her life, so she couldn't forcefully protect her.

Although it's unlikely that Ling Luochen will actually be killed, he may escape the death penalty but not the punishment. If he is to be dealt with seriously, his soul power may have to be abolished.

The only thing she can do now is to keep Ling Luochen locked up under the pretext that the truth has not been fully investigated, and then buy time. Ling Luochen has just returned, which has aroused everyone's anger and puts them in the eye of the storm. In fact, as long as this period is delayed, everything will be fine.

The royal family won't really do anything to Ling Luochen. Those nobles who hold positions without doing anything are idiots, but the royal family isn't. After all, besides his family, Ling Luochen has another person to rely on!

That titled Douluo kill-obsessed maniac—everyone just thought they were sworn siblings, but how could she not know their true feelings? The shrewd members of the royal family must have seen through it too.
