Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 241 Rebellion?

After entering the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire, the group saw a long, silver-white dragon traveling along a black road in the snowy region.

As the heavy snow fell, the silver dragon became the only moving point in the boundless snowfield.

"What is that?" Wang Dong'er asked in confusion.

“A soul beast? No… it doesn’t seem like a soul beast! It’s too big! Even by snake-type soul beast standards, it’s far too long!” Ling Luochen frowned and shook his head in denial.

"That's a soul-guided train, you bumpkin!" Xiao Hongchen glanced at the puzzled Ling Luochen and Wang Dong'er, scoffed, and waved to the Sun Moon Empire soldiers at the pass not far away, beckoning them over.

Soul-guided train?

What kind of soul tool is that?

The soldiers quickly ran over, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Marquis Tianyue!"

After hearing him greet Jiang Shengyu, Xiao Hongchen asked in surprise, "Hey! I'm the one who asked you to come over!"

The soldier looked embarrassed.

It was indeed Xiao Hongchen who summoned him, but Jiang Shengyu was clearly of higher status here, so he had to greet the person of higher status first! He still really wanted to advance his career.

Meng Hongchen punched Xiao Hongchen on the back and scolded, "Brother, why are you angry with him!"

"No, I..." Xiao Hongchen pointed to herself, looking completely bewildered. Whose sister was she anyway? Why would she keep targeting her own brother?
Jiang Shengyu told the soldier to dispense with formalities, and then asked, "What did you want to say when you called him over?"

Xiao Hongchen cleared his throat and said to him, "Go prepare a few tickets so that these two country bumpkin classmates who have never seen the world can also experience the Soul Guidance Train!"

A classmate from the countryside?

Ling Luochen and Wang Dong'er, who had always grown up in luxury, were inexplicably turned into country folk, which gave them a huge sense of contrast. They even saw that the soldiers of the Sun Moon Empire looked at them without any fear or respect.

They are Soul Masters!
He is an inner court student at Shrek Academy, a top student!
The train tickets were quickly prepared, and the group arrived at the Beixueguan Soul Guide Train Station.

The station had a heating system running inside, which instantly transported Wang Dong'er from the freezing cold to a world of spring warmth and blooming flowers. She exclaimed in surprise, "This was also made by a soul tool?"

"Of course!" Xiao Hongchen tilted his head slightly, his face full of pride.

The group boarded the train, which slowly pulled out of Beixueguan Station. The modern train station was left behind, and a vast, silver-clad ice field came into view through the train windows, leaving Wang Dong'er and the others in awe as they saw the ice field for the first time.

They were surprised to find that even at this speed, the temperature inside the carriage remained constant and it wasn't cold at all!

"I never imagined I could travel like this in a car across the snowy region! It's amazing," Ling Luochen exclaimed, gazing at the icy landscape outside the window.

Wang Dong'er looked at the interior decoration of the train carriage and the soul guide lamps hanging on the ceiling, and said, "How many soul masters must continuously inject soul power into this? It must be very expensive to make a trip like this. I'm afraid only high-level soul masters and nobles can afford it."

She had an instinctive aversion to soul tools, and even at this moment, she still said those words.

"Thanks to the efforts of Mingde Hall, the operating cost of the Soul Guidance Train has been greatly reduced. Moreover, in order to ensure that every citizen of the Sun Moon Empire can afford to ride it, the ticket price for the Soul Guidance Train is based on the distance traveled, which will at least guarantee that it will be cheaper or faster than using other means of transportation."

Standing beside Wang Dong'er, Jiang Shengyu gazed calmly at the snow-covered plains outside the window and said, "And soon after, flight attendants will come by with food carts selling snacks or main meals."

"Is this something that everyone can enjoy?" Wang Dong'er asked after seeing this scene.

"Of course!"

Xiao Hongchen glanced at Wang Dong'er and asked, "What, are ordinary people not worthy of enjoying these things?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er immediately retorted, "I never had such a thought!"

Meng Hongchen added from the side, "But your behavior tells us that you believe that Soul Masters and nobles are born superior to others."

Although Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen once thought so too, under the subtle influence of Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong's interactions over the years, their attitudes toward ordinary people have become completely different from before.

Wang Dong'er fell silent after Meng Hongchen said those words.

Indeed, she did have that thought.

Seeing Wang Dong'er fall silent, Ling Luochen didn't know what to say. She had actually had this thought as well, but she hadn't expressed it.

After everyone had lunch on the Soul Guidance Train, the train was about to reach a new station, the Glorious Station, located within the Glorious Grand Duchy.

But at that moment, the soul-guided train suddenly began to brake sharply. The immense inertia caused everyone on board to lose control and lurch forward. The ear-piercing screeching sound of the rails scraping against the steel wheels filled the air as the train quickly came to a stop.

"what happened?"

Everyone frowned and looked out the window.

There seemed to be a commotion at the front of the Soul Guidance Train. Soon, a large group of armed soldiers ran from the front of the train and surrounded the entire train.

A leader-like figure stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "The Grand Duke has already declared independence and no longer belongs to the Sun Moon Empire! This Soul Guidance Train and all of you on board are prisoners! Obey orders and get off the train. The Glorious Grand Duke will guarantee your safety!"

Upon hearing the team leader's words, Ling Luochen looked surprised. She looked at Jiang Shengyu with an expression that seemed to say that they were really lucky. They had finally come to the Sun Moon Empire and were able to encounter a Grand Duke's rebellion.

Jiang Shengyu couldn't help but frown at this moment.

He remembered this incident: the Brilliant Grand Duke openly declared his independence from the Sun and Moon Empire and wanted to establish the Brilliant Duchy.

However, with the introduction of various new soul tools, the Sun Moon Empire has greatly increased its control over its territory, and its army can be deployed to every part of the country within three days through an efficient road and rail network!
Even so, would the Magnificent Duke still rebel?
For someone like the Brilliant Duke, rebellion is for the pursuit of profit, and someone who values ​​profit would never seek death like that!

Whether this was merely wishful thinking on his part and that of his son, or whether there were powerful forces behind the scenes pulling the strings, is hard to say.

However, just as Jiang Shengyu was pondering, the soldiers of the Glorious Territory lined up outside the Soul Guidance Train immediately panicked. They scattered and fled in all directions. The leader who had just boarded the train also looked terrified. He abandoned his mission and quickly got off the train and fled.

After everyone disembarked from the train, they discovered a large group of soldiers rushing towards them from another direction. They were soldiers sent by the Sun Moon Empire to quell the rebellion.

As the soldiers approached, Jiang Shengyu fell into deep thought.
