Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 443 Ling Luochen Emerges from Seclusion Bearing a Bad Reputation

"Yuwen Tuo, Yuwen Qiu, Xiao Xiao, and Long Aotian have joined forces to destroy Shrek Academy and harm Shrek students and teachers. Their crimes are heinous and arouse the wrath of both gods and men. By imperial decree, their images and portraits are drawn and a reward is offered for their capture. These criminals are extremely vicious. Anyone who provides information will be rewarded with 10,000 gold soul coins, anyone who takes their heads will be rewarded with 100,000 gold soul coins, and anyone who captures them alive will be rewarded with 1 million gold soul coins."

Inside Dragon City of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the people read the wanted posters on the walls, and a great deal of discussion ensued.

"How could this be? The entire continent knows about Mr. Yuwen's feud with Shrek Academy. He was just seeking revenge, so why is he wanted by the entire continent?"

"Yes, yes, and I heard that Mr. Yuwen did not kill any innocent people. He only killed the hostile Shrek Academy leaders. He let all the ordinary students go. Moreover, Shrek City only destroyed Shrek Academy and did not affect the civilians at all."

Unlike the Shrek Academy graduates who deeply resented Yuwentuo, ordinary people without soul power had never studied at Shrek Academy, so they could stand on the sidelines and judge Yuwentuo's behavior.

Putting aside whether he made any mistakes or not, does his past merits disappear just because he was an enemy of Shrek Academy?

How many evil spirit masters has he killed so far?
If ordinary people get chills just from hearing the name of an evil spirit master, then for an evil spirit master, the mere mention of Yuwen Tuo's name terrifies them even more.

Recently, it has become nearly impossible to find any evil spirit masters within the Heavenly Soul Empire. The lives of the people have become much more peaceful, and they no longer have to worry about being captured by evil spirit masters to cultivate while they are sleeping.

In the previous Soul Master Competition, he participated as a member of the Ghost Valley School, which was recognized by the Heavenly Soul Empire. He won the championship, bringing glory to the country. He also uncovered the conspiracy of the Sun Moon Empire, countered them, and saved all the participants.

How can we so easily ignore all of these things?

"Hmph, those heartless royals! Brother Yuwen helped them so much, he even saved our lives! They're really using us and then discarding us." Inside the Earth Dragon Gate, Nan Qiuqiu said angrily.

The Earth Dragon and Heaven Dragon sects are located within Dragon City, so they naturally already knew about it.

Nan Qiuqiu is a big fan of Yuwen Tuo, how could she tolerate her idol being humiliated like this?

Nan Shuishui said with a heavy expression, "His Majesty is also helpless. Shrek Academy is located within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Heavenly Soul Empire is most deeply influenced by Shrek. Do you know how many of the garrison commanders, city lords, and officials in the court are from Shrek? If they all start making trouble, the entire Heavenly Soul Empire will fall into unprecedented turmoil."

"Mom, why don't we go find Brother Yuwen and bring him to live with us? Others may be afraid of Shrek, but I'm not," Nan Qiuqiu said.

"Qiuqiu, stop fooling around. Our Earth Dragon Gate isn't strong enough to be an enemy of the entire continent," Nan Shuishui admonished.

She naturally wanted to repay Yuwen Tuo's kindness, but given the current situation, she was willing but unable to do so.

Inside the palace, Vina stormed in fury, intending to meet Emperor Xuexin.

Her father, the emperor, actually issued arrest warrants for her junior brother and fiancé, which infuriated her.

Before she could even enter the palace, she was stopped by the Heaven-Shaking Douluo Jiang Yuan. "Your Highness, His Majesty does not wish to see you. He orders you to take your troops to Dragon City immediately. Without an imperial decree, you are not to return to the capital!"

"What?" Vina was shocked. Were they going to banish her and kick her out of the Heavenly Soul Court?
"I don't believe it, Grandpa Jiang. Please step aside. I need to see my father."

Jiang Yuan, a titled Douluo, suddenly unleashed his soul power, repelling Vina. "Your Highness, are you defying the imperial decree? If so, I have no choice but to execute you on the spot in the name of rebellion."

Sensing the powerful killing intent emanating from Jiang Yuan, Vina knew he wasn't joking.

For a moment, she was plunged into despair, unable to understand why her father, the emperor, had suddenly become so cold-blooded and ruthless. Inside the palace, Poison Undying and Emperor Xuexin stood together.

Poison Undying said, "Your Majesty, you don't actually need to carry out this plan. With the strength of me and Tuo'er, it wouldn't be difficult for us to kill all those people for you."

"But if we do that, the country will surely be in chaos. Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Yuwen also told me this, but I don't want him to bear the infamy forever. I told him that he should become a hero," said Emperor Xuexin. "Let him remain silent for a few years. Anyway, he needs time to break through to the Title Douluo level. The turning point will come eventually."

"The Heavenly Soul Empire has been influenced by Shrek Academy far too deeply. This time, I will eradicate it completely and forge an unshakeable dynasty with my blood!"

Poison Undying nodded. "Your Majesty, I admire your courage. Just to express my respect for you, I, Poison Undying, will certainly do my utmost to help you this time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The emperor bowed gratefully to Poison Immortal.

Poison Undying immediately returned the greeting.

At this moment, the strongest and most powerful figures in the Heavenly Soul Empire reached a consensus.

On the other side, Ling Luochen emerged from the far north. She had also broken through to the Soul Douluo level and obtained the 100,000-year eighth ring, which, like the seventh ring, was provided by the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

Originally, her cultivation speed would not have been this fast; she had advanced from a level 78 Soul Saint to a Soul Douluo in just a few months.

Like Yuwen Tuo, she condensed her soul core at the Soul Saint realm, and then, with the help of the vast天地元力 (heaven and earth elemental power) absorbed during the condensation of her soul core, she completed her breakthrough in one go.

With an ultimate martial soul paired with a top-tier cultivation technique, it seems much easier to condense a soul core compared to an ordinary martial soul.

In fact, Qiu'er could have condensed her Soul Saint form earlier, but she rushed back first to help Yuwen Tuo pass the test.

Ling Luochen's soul power has now reached level 82. Coupled with the ultimate ice attribute and two 100,000-year soul bones, he can be considered one of the top experts on the continent.

But as soon as she came out, she heard about the recent storms on the mainland.

Yuwen Tuo actually caused such a big incident during her seclusion.

She didn't blame Yuwen Tuo for not taking her with him; she knew he was keeping it from her to avoid putting her in a difficult position.

She didn't blame Yuwentuo for ruining Shrek Academy; it was all karma. Yuwentuo hadn't indiscriminately killed innocent people. His hatred was just directed at the Shrek Academy executives and Ma Xiaotao.

But she was very worried about Yuwentuo's situation. As agreed with Yuwentuo before, she came to a certain place.

Seeing smoke rising from a house ahead, Ling Luochen assumed that Yuwen Tuo and the others had returned, and happily ran forward.

Unexpectedly, when the wooden door opened and the person who came out was seen, Ling Luochen exclaimed in surprise, "You...you are?"
