Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 162 The Darkness of the Torrent of Rain (4K)

Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao slowly turned around, looked at Mo Yuan, gave a faint "hmm" with no expression, and then turned back to quietly gaze at the night view of Mingdu outside the window.

After a brief silence, the three of them took their seats. Long Xiaoyao remained silent, gazing out the window. Mo Yuan also remained silent, secretly wondering what Zhongli Wu and Long Xiaoyao had come to Mingdu for.

Neither of them spoke, so Zhongli Wulai had to act as the host. He coughed twice and then took out a small bronze stone from his soul tool and handed it to Mo Yuan.

"Second Master, please look."

Mo Yuan was initially puzzled, but when he saw the stone clearly, his eyes narrowed instantly, and killing intent and anger quietly rose in his heart.

He returned to Nibelungen a few days ago and didn't see any remains. He assumed Apophis had already dealt with the person and didn't think much of it. Now it seems that the thief had actually gotten very lucky and escaped.

Nobody likes a thief, and he was no exception, especially since the Nibelungen affair would undoubtedly cause even more trouble once it was exposed, and coincidentally, he disliked trouble very much...

Suppressing his anger, Mo Yuan took the stone, looked at it for a while, and then put it aside. He then calmly stared at Zhongli Wu, as if to say to Zhongli Wu: If you have something to say, then say it.

Seeing Mo Yuan's attitude, Zhongli Wu couldn't help but feel annoyed. Ye Xuan's failure in the mission and subsequent disappearance for a period of time was already a challenge to his authority. He didn't expect that after reappearing, Ye Xuan not only didn't restrain himself but became even more arrogant.

What does he take me for, his cult leader?!
But considering the importance of what he was about to say, Zhongliwu had no choice but to suppress his anger and begin to recount the story of Master Ma of Mingdetang in detail.

After a while, Mo Yuan lowered his eyelids and revealed a thoughtful expression. The general process was similar to what he had thought, but what he did not expect was that the Demon Soul Great White Shark would intervene in this.

Demon Soul Great White Shark...

Oh ho, it seems the Sea God Tang Buddha is also behind this...

Mo Yuan shook his head secretly, instantly guessing that Tang San was behind this. After all, which transmigrator didn't know that the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan was Tang San's dog?
"So what? What does this have to do with me?" Mo Yuan casually tossed the bronze stone back, saying indifferently, "I am not a Soul Master. This thing is indeed magical, but it is of no use to me."

“That’s right, this thing and even that mysterious space are indeed useless to pure Soul Masters like us.”

Zhongli Wu glanced at Long Xiaoyao and continued, "But the Supreme Leader of our Holy Sect is a top-tier ninth-level Soul Master. She took this matter very seriously after learning about it, otherwise the Chief Elder would not have come to Mingdu in person."

Mo Yuan glanced at Long Xiaoyao, showing no surprise whatsoever. Then Zhongli Wu continued speaking.

"If that were all, it would be fine. With the strength of the chief retainer, one person could solve these problems and bring back enough rare stones. However, Crown Prince Xu Tianran has proposed a different plan."

"What plan?" Mo Yuan became interested.

“A plan that can eliminate the enemies of the Holy Church and the Sun Moon Empire in one fell swoop,” Zhongli Wu said coldly. “Xu Tianran deliberately leaked this information to the three great empires of Douluo, because of the importance of this item, they have no choice but to come.”

“Even if there are people, like the Body Sect and you, Second Elder, who don’t care about soul tools, they will definitely try to disrupt the development of the Sun Moon Empire. At that time, the powerhouses of the three great Douluo Empires will all gather in that sealed mysterious space. With you and Uncle Long there, they will have no other outcome but death.”

"..." Mo Yuan remained silent, not because he was surprised, but because it was perfectly normal for Xu Tianran to do such a thing, given his ruthless and vicious nature.

To his surprise, Xu Tianran seemed to have reservations about the Holy Spirit Cult in this matter. Thinking of this, Mo Yuan carefully considered his words before speaking.
"This plan is indeed of great benefit to our Holy Church, but have you considered whether there might be a master in such a magical space? If so, how powerful must the master who possesses all of this be?"

"Don't let the fact that we failed to kill the three powerful figures of the Douluo Empires and ended up losing both myself and the Chief Elder instead."

Zhongli Wu nodded. "According to Xu Tianran, although the mysterious space is full of dangers, there are no other living beings. However, these are just one person's opinions and cannot be completely trusted, so we have analyzed them carefully."

"The final decision rests with the Supreme Master. This matter is risky, but worth a try. After all, it's uncertain whether the anticipated master even exists. Even if he does, with your and Uncle Long's strength, you might not be unable to escape."

A bunch of gamblers… Mo Yuan snorted coldly in his heart. He could see that Xu Tianran was definitely up to no good when he took the initiative to say this.

If his master is not around, he can weaken the strength of the three great Douluo Empires; if he is around, he can use him to kill everyone.

In any case, whichever outcome it is, it will only benefit Xu Tianran.

Seeing that Mo Yuan seemed unwilling to agree, Zhongli Wu immediately prepared to persuade him, since if Ye Xuan refused to go no matter what, then he would have to take his place.

He'd be crazy to do something that carries such a risk of death.

It was only because Ye Xishui wanted it; otherwise, no matter how precious the things in that mysterious space were, Long Xiaoyao probably wouldn't even glance at them.

However, just as Zhongli Wu was about to speak, Mo Yuan gave his reply.

"Since this matter can eliminate the threat to the Holy Church, then I have no objection to it."

"If the Second Elder doesn't answer—" Zhongli Wu was instantly dumbfounded and hurriedly asked, "Huh? Wait! Second Elder, you agreed?"

Even Long Xiaoyao looked at Mo Yuan with a slightly surprised expression, clearly not expecting Mo Yuan to agree to this risky mission.

I did this for my beloved Ye Xishui, what about you? It can't really be to eliminate the enemies of the Holy Church, can it?
"How strange," Long Xiaoyao muttered to himself. "Why is Ye Xuan so rebellious and loyal at the same time? What exactly does he want to do?"

Mo Yuan glanced coldly at Zhongli Wu, "If Sect Leader Zhongli wants to take action personally, then you may do so."

"No, no, no! This leader didn't mean that!" Zhongli Wu quickly denied, afraid that the task would fall on him. "Things that require great strength are naturally more suitable for you and Uncle Long. I can just oversee the overall situation from the rear."

The next second, Mo Yuan and Long Xiaoyao both cast disdainful glances at each other.

Zhongli Wu blushed slightly. "Alright, there are still many things in the sect that I need to handle. It is expected that the powerful figures from the three great empires of Douluo will arrive in three days. At that time, we will have to rely on Uncle Long and the Second Elder!"

"Then I'll be going now, I won't bother you two any longer, haha..."

After giving an awkward laugh, Zhongliwu immediately left the meeting room.

Mo Yuan and Long Xiaoyao exchanged a glance, silently shook their heads, and then began to chat casually, discussing the plan to eliminate them three days later.

Of course, Mo Yuan would never actually spend the time and effort to steal from his own home; what he was thinking about was how to completely quell this troublesome matter.

……

Three days later, late at night, the city of Ming was quiet and peaceful, but thousands of miles away in the depths of the icy sea, the waves were turbulent and lightning was flashing.

The rain poured down, with large raindrops weaving a curtain of rain that fell from the sky. The black seawater surged and churned, creating wave after wave of tsunami.

The hurricane roared, the sea raged; under such natural disasters, apart from Title Douluo powerhouses, even Soul Douluo could not survive here.

Xuanzi and Elder Song sped across the sea waves and suddenly stopped in mid-air. Their thick soul power, in shades of earth yellow and blue, formed a barrier on their bodies, keeping out the gale and rain.

Xuanzi narrowed his eyes, looked at the huge, undulating ice floes in the distance for a while, then turned his head to look at the dark void to his right.

"Hey, isn't this Old Monster Poison? What are you doing here? What use is your Body Sect's soul tool level here? Are you just here to create atmosphere?"

"You Shrek Academy students have the nerve to say my Body Sect's soul tool technology is inferior? Where's your shame?"

Poison Undying's voice came from the darkness, followed by a flash of dark green light, and Poison Undying's robust figure quietly appeared in the void, with an unfamiliar figure beside him.

The man was also an old man, with a robust build, only slightly smaller than Du Busi, and a faint golden light shimmered on his exposed skin.

This person was the Vice Sect Master of the Body Sect, a level 97 Super Douluo—the Golden Body Douluo. After a brief 'friendly' exchange, both sides fell silent and disappeared back into the shadows, but their attention never left the floating ice.

Xuanzi, Du Busi, and others came here with a simple purpose: to obtain the rare stones from the mysterious space to improve the academy's soul tools. They didn't believe it when the people from the Sun Moon Empire revealed the news.

The fact that the Sun Moon Empire doesn't actively cause trouble is already a sign that they've changed their ways, let alone actively offering benefits.
But when the strange stone was actually placed before their eyes, they had no choice but to believe it, no matter how unwilling they were.

After several meetings filled with arguments and discussions, it was ultimately Elder Mu who made the final decision, sending Xuanzi and Elder Song to take a look.

The Sun Moon Empire's actions were definitely malicious, and they knew it, as did the three major Douluo Empires, but they had no choice but to go.

If it's true, if you don't develop soul tools, you'll fall behind, and falling behind means you'll be vulnerable to attack. Even if we don't mention this, they can't let the Sun Moon Empire monopolize such a treasure trove. Otherwise, once the Sun Moon Empire has completely absorbed the treasure trove, there's no need to fight any more wars; they can just surrender.

Xu Tianran had accurately predicted their fears.

Even if I tell you I have ill intentions, so what? You still have to come!
A total conspiracy!
Dark clouds gathered in the pitch-black darkness, and lightning, like sharp blades, ruthlessly sliced ​​through the sea and sky, with thunder rumbling and waves surging.

Soon after, several other people arrived at this wild sea.

They are: Yu Qianyuan, the City Lord of Dragon City in the Heavenly Soul Empire, and a level 97 Thunder Douluo.

The Hall Master of the Star Luo Empire, the Ninety-Seventh Heavenly Mystery Douluo, and the Ninety-Sixth Peak Medical Immortal Douluo, Wang Xian'er.

The chief retainer of the Douling Empire, a level 97 Heavenly Sun Douluo.

Since the Heavenly Soul Empire has now established the Body Sect as a national guardian sect, Thunder Douluo, who belongs to the same country, naturally stood by Poison Undying's side.

It can be observed that, apart from the Healer Douluo, everyone else who came this time is at least a level 97 Super Douluo.

After all, this trip is extremely dangerous, whether it's the mysterious space or the conspiracy that the Sun Moon Empire might have laid. Rather than sending a low-level Title Douluo to be a sitting duck, it's better to let a Super Douluo go.

At least if they really encounter danger, they still have a chance to escape.

Since everyone's purpose in coming here was more or less to hinder the development of the Sun Moon Empire, they could be considered to be on the same side. After some discussion, they decided that they would support each other in this operation, which would be jointly led by Du Busi and Xuanzi, who had the highest cultivation levels.

Looking at the powerful figures beside him, Xuanzi's slightly uneasy heart instantly relaxed a lot. With two level 98 experts, five level 97 experts, and a medical immortal Douluo who was the number one healer, even if the Sun Moon Empire sent Long Xiaoyao to fight, they would have a chance.

"Hmph, those rats from the Sun and Moon Empire were indeed up to no good in the shadows, but in the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are futile!"

Poison Undying snorted coldly, glanced at the turbulent sea around him, and then waved his hand fiercely at the distant ice floes.

According to the Sun and Moon Empire, the conditions for entering the mysterious space are most likely to be entering at a specified time and under specific conditions, and coincidentally, everything is now in place.

"Let's go! Today I'll see if this place is really as mysterious as the Sun Moon Empire claims!"

At his command, eight powerful and domineering soul energies soared into the sky and flew rapidly into the distance.

In the darkness dozens of miles away, Long Xiaoyao and Mo Yuan exchanged a glance, then quietly followed.

After Poison Undying and his companions crashed into a wave that was several meters high, a gray-white mist quietly spread, reducing visibility and instantly binding their mental energy.

It's actually true...

This is so damn weird...

As Poison Undying gazed at the world around him, now enveloped in a gray-white mist and utterly silent, his brow furrowed and his heart pounding. Even for a powerful figure like him who had lived for hundreds of years, this was the most bizarre thing he had ever encountered.

"Be careful, everyone. We have arrived in another space. Do not make a move unless absolutely necessary, or it may cause unforeseen changes," warned Tianji Douluo, who possessed spatial attributes.

Outside, Long Xiaoyao also wore a solemn expression. Just now, right under his nose as a level 99 Limit Douluo, eight Super Douluos had disappeared without a trace, without even him noticing anything amiss.

I don't know if this decision is right or wrong... Long Xiaoyao shook his head, then his eyes narrowed and he rushed towards the floating ice, disappearing into the world. Mo Yuan sneered behind him and followed.

Just like last time, after Du Busi and his companions had traveled for a while, the gray-white mist silently surged and parted to create a path.

Looking down at the sea below, where countless raindrops were falling but the surface remained unchanged, the group felt their hair stand on end and a chill run down their spines.

"Damn it, this thing is really weird..." Poisonous Death couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Xuanzi nodded in deep agreement, "Indeed, it's simply not something that could happen in the mortal world."

"Be careful. According to the Sun Moon Empire, you can reach that mysterious space by passing through the last gray-white mist ahead. Remember, do not land before you see the ground. Nothing will float in the seawater here, and no one knows if a Title Douluo can break free."

Everyone nodded, and then plunged headlong into the last gray-white mist without slowing down.

After an unknown amount of time, when Poison Undying dispersed the last wisp of mist, a desolate, bleak, and barren gray world came into view.

"God..." Old Song exclaimed in a daze, gazing at the endless bronze-colored mountains in the distance and the dense gray snowflakes and rain in the sky.

Not only her, but also Du Bu Si, Xuan Zi, and everyone else were stunned, witnessing the most unbelievable scene of their lives.

After a long pause, Poison Undying let out a deep breath, then squatted down and picked up a bronze-colored stone. After examining it carefully for a while, he nodded in satisfaction.

"The people from the Sun and Moon Empire are right. Even the most ordinary stones here are rare stones."

Upon hearing this, the others remembered the true purpose of their trip and hurriedly squatted down to pick up the stones. They seemed less like renowned and high-ranking Super Douluo and more like unscrupulous wealthy merchants who had seen money.

It perfectly illustrates the meaning of greed.

After collecting stones for a long time and filling several soul tools with them, the group stood up reluctantly. This time, they turned their gaze to the end of their line of sight, behind the mountains that were faintly visible in the rain.

"Did you feel something drawing you there?" Xuanzi asked.

"Huh? You have one too?"

"What? You two have it too? Does that mean we're all like this?"

"..."

After confirming with each other, everyone finally realized that they all felt something deep within this world was attracting them.

After this was confirmed, the air suddenly fell silent. No one spoke. Finally, the silence was broken by the sound of footsteps.

Poison Undying walked off into the distance, and the remaining people exchanged glances, discussed their opinions, and then followed suit.

Heading deeper into this world...
