Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 235 Disciples of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School

Yan Shaozhe dared not delay and set off back to Shrek Academy after asking Xue Di for help.

The remaining people stood on the mountaintop, watching Yan Shaozhe leave.

Wang Dong'er suddenly asked, "Where should we go next?"

Jiang Shengyu grabbed a handful of soil, threw it into the air, pointed in the direction the dust was rising, and said, "Go in that direction!"

The dust drifted eastward towards Tiandou City, and the group followed its direction. To the east of Tiandou City lay the Douling Empire. They found a village on the border between the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire to rest.

However, when the group entered the village, the villagers looked at them with wariness and distance.

Xiao Hongchen muttered, "Strange, what kind of eyes do these people have? Is there something dirty on us?"

"Something must have happened here," Jiang Shengyu guessed.

Ling Luochen pondered and guessed, "Perhaps it's because this place is close to the Douling Empire? The Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire have been in a standoff for a long time in the past. Although their relationship has improved a lot recently because of the Sun Moon Empire, the two sides are still wary of each other."

Back then, the royal power of the Heaven Dou Empire was weak, and it was difficult for Swan Martial Soul experts to emerge. Even with the support of the Tang Sect, it was difficult to support the vast empire.

As a result, a noble family within the empire gradually rose to prominence, seized power in the court, and attempted to usurp the throne. However, despite the weakness of the royal family, they did not sit idly by and wait for their demise. A massive civil war broke out in the empire.

With the split of the Heaven Dou Empire, the remnants of the old Heaven Dou royal family retreated to the northeast with their supporters and established the Dou Ling Empire.

That noble family officially declared themselves emperors and established the Heavenly Soul Empire in Heavenly Dou City.

Therefore, the Douling Empire should be the rightful successor to the Tiandou Empire. Their royal inherited martial soul has always been the swan, while the Tianhun Empire's royal inherited martial soul is the ice-attribute snow lotus.

As a result, the two were hostile to each other for a long time.

Although the two empires are now officially united against the Sun and Moon Empire, the general public is clearly not so easily swayed by this new understanding.

However, when Jiang Shengyu and his group planned to check into the only hotel in the area, they were told that they were not accepting any outsiders at the moment, whether from the Heavenly Soul Empire or the Fighting Spirit Empire.

This made everyone even more puzzled.

"It seems this has nothing to do with the relationship between the two great empires."

Seeing the hotel staff's reaction, Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong frowned.

Wang Dong'er stepped forward and said, "We are Soul Masters!"

Upon hearing this, the innkeeper was stunned and panicked. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Soul Master! Please calm down... We are really not very convenient here lately."

Ordinary people from the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent instinctively feel inferior when facing Soul Masters. Wang Dong'er thought that after she revealed her identity as a Soul Master, the other party would agree to let them stay, but she did not expect that despite their fear, the other party still insisted on refusing.

This made everyone even more puzzled.

Ling Luochen stared at the receptionist, frowned, and asked, "What are you hiding?"

The receptionist shook his head, his expression bitter, and said, "No! I'm not hiding anything!"

Just then, a man and a woman came down from the second floor of the inn. When the receptionist saw them, he looked at them as if they were his saviors and rushed over to say, "Sirs, they are Soul Masters and would like to check in!"

Upon hearing the receptionist's words, the man and woman looked at Jiang Shengyu and his group. All eyes also fell on them; clear fluctuations of soul power emanated from the two, but they weren't high, around the third or fourth ring.

The girl asked, "Where did you Soul Masters come from?"

Wang Dong'er looked at the girl strangely and said, "So you're the ones who won't let anyone stay at the hotel? How domineering!"

Upon hearing this, the boy stepped forward and said, "How dare you! We are from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

After the boy explained his and the girl's backgrounds, Jiang Shengyu and her group raised their eyebrows and chuckled.

Wang Dong'er, hands on her hips, said smugly, "So what if it's the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School? I'm still a member of the Haotian School!"

Hearing this, the boy frowned and scolded, "You're really bold, daring to impersonate someone from the Haotian Sect. Be careful, or we'll report you to the Haotian Sect and have you arrested and punished!"

Wang Dong'er remained silent, then opened her hand, revealing the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit. As she grasped the Clear Sky Hammer, a heavy sense of oppression enveloped the hearts of the man and woman. The receptionist was even more flustered, never expecting that she was actually a member of the Clear Sky Sect!

The girl exclaimed in surprise, "You're really from the Haotian Sect?!"

Ling Luochen stepped forward, took out the academy's badge, and said, "We are inner court students of Shrek Academy."

After everyone identified themselves, the girl was overjoyed and ran down the stairs to them. She grabbed Wang Dong'er's hand and said, "It's wonderful! Meeting you all here must be a blessing from our ancestors!"

Wang Dong'er pulled her hand away in surprise, looked at the girl in front of her strangely, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"Cough cough..."

The girl coughed a few times and introduced herself: "Greetings everyone, I am Ning Luosheng from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and this is my bodyguard Yu Nian."

After the two got to know each other, Jiang Qingtong asked, "What exactly happened here? Why is no one allowed to stay at the hotel?"

"Please sit down, let's sit down and talk slowly!" Ning Luosheng invited everyone to sit down, her kind attitude surprising them.

After taking their seats, Ning Luosheng explained the situation to everyone.

It turns out that a certain period of time ago, an evil spirit master occupied this place. He used his powerful strength to kidnap many people. The arrival of Ning Luosheng and Yu Nian disrupted his plans, forcing him to flee temporarily. However, before leaving, he made a threatening statement that he would find more helpers to come back.

That's why the village and town have been in such a state of panic lately.

Ning Luosheng continued, "We have already sent a message back to the sect, but the sect is still more than half a month away from here. The message was only sent three days ago, so it will take at least a month for reinforcements to arrive!"

Yu Nian continued, "We originally intended to ask the nearby Tianhun Empire and Douling Empire for help, but they both declined, citing border defense as the reason."

Speaking of this, Yu Nian's expression couldn't help but show some resentment.

"I understand. Nobody wants to deal with evil spirit masters."

Jiang Shengyu nodded, then looked at Ning Luosheng and Yu Nian and said, "You two are quite bold to stay here."

Ning Luosheng sighed and said to him, "If we all leave, what will happen to the people in this village? As disciples of the prestigious Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, we will not run away!"
