Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Chapter 155 Zhang Lexuan's Darkening
Poseidon Pavilion!
"Beibei, what did you say???" Moon gripped the armrest of the seat tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Upon hearing that Tang Ya, the daughter of the Tang Clan's leader, was still alive, Mu En's eyes still held a smile. However, Bei Bei's second half of the sentence was like a poisoned silver needle, instantly piercing the light in his eyes. The old man's aura suddenly dropped, and a frost-like chill seeped from his wrinkles, just like the eerie calm before a storm.

"Sister Le Xuan has been kidnapped by an evil soul master, and Elder Xuan rushed to Tian Dou City overnight."

Beibei's Adam's apple bobbed as he took a half-step back. The oppressive aura emanating from Xuanzu made his breathing difficult. The Xuanzu who was always composed in his memory now had sharp eyes, and even the white hair at his temples was trembling.

Mu En's chest heaved violently, and his well-defined fingers cracked the sandalwood armrest. How could a dignified level 98 Super Douluo be unable to protect his junior?
This realization made his temples throb, and his soul power surged through his meridians like boiling magma.

He suddenly stood up, making the tables and chairs in the room creak. "Beibei, go and call Shaozhe over!" His hoarse voice was filled with anger, startling the night owls perched outside the window, which fluttered and shattered the moonlight.

Beibei stumbled and turned around, his back already soaked with cold sweat. He had never seen Xuanzu like this before. He was not the usual dignified and immortal master of the Sea God Pavilion. Instead, he looked like an enraged ancient dragon, with a murderous aura that seemed ready to devour people at any moment floating in the air.

"What a piece of trash!" As soon as Beibei left, Mu En couldn't help but curse. Even though he was usually calm, he was now furious. Zhang Lexuan had replaced Tang Ya with Tang Ya. This was a huge loss.

It would be fine if Tang Yaruo were a genius girl, but her martial soul is the useless Blue Silver Grass, and her innate soul power is extremely low. On the other hand, Le Xuan is a grown-up genius. As the youngest Soul Saint on the continent, she is also extremely intelligent.

Beibei is not yet mature, and Mo Yan has not yet given an answer. He originally planned to let Zhang Lexuan inherit his position first, but now, he has lost the big picture for the small gain!

As for Xuanzi going to Tiandou City to search for him, as his uncle, he had no idea what his nephew was thinking. It was obviously just an excuse to avoid him!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He really wished he could rush to Tiandou City right now, grab Xuanzi, and beat him up!
Yan Shaozhe quickly appeared, while Bei Bei had already gone to find his goddess Tang Ya.

"Teacher, what happened?" This was the first time Yan Shaozhe had ever seen his teacher with such a gloomy face. His hawk-like eyes seemed to be filled with poison. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice trembled involuntarily.

If he had angered the teacher, he would at most have been beaten up by the teacher in anger, but now it's completely different.

Mu En suppressed his anger; he felt like he was about to die of rage. "That girl Le Xuan is missing! Go to Tian Dou City and search for her with that bastard Xuan Zi!"

"what???"

"What?!"

Before Yan Shaozhe could even react in surprise, he instantly spread his radiant golden wings and shot out of the Sea God Pavilion like an arrow, fearing that he would become a punching bag for his teacher's venting of anger.

Watching Yan Shaozhe's departing figure, Mu En lay wearily in his wheelchair, his eyes growing increasingly lifeless, his heart filled with prayers for Zhang Lexuan's safety.

He felt more and more that none of the elders at Shrek Academy were reliable, and if it weren't for him, Shrek Academy would probably have already perished.

While Shrek was anxiously searching for Zhang Lexuan's whereabouts, Zhang Lexuan, lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes. She stared at the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar ceiling and couldn't help but murmur to herself, "Am I not dead?"

"Do you really want to die that badly?" Tian Mucheng, who was sitting on a wooden chair with his legs crossed, flipped through the ancestral books sent back by Dugu Luo. Hearing this, he asked curiously.

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Lexuan, who was lying in bed, turned to look at Tian Mucheng, who was reading a book, and asked in a questioning tone, "Shouldn't I have died? Although I lost control, I still have all those memories. You've completely treated me like a guinea pig."

"Oh?" Tian Mucheng's eyes flashed with curiosity upon hearing this: "You lost control, yet you still have your memories?"

"Hmm," Zhang Lexuan responded, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness. She truly didn't understand why she was still alive. "I see!" Tian Mucheng put away his book, got up, and sat down by Zhang Lexuan's bedside. Looking at the confusion and helplessness in her eyes, he teased, "Aren't you happy to be reborn?"

"My talent for cultivation has indeed been reborn, but my soul seems to have fallen into an abyss, and I don't know why I live." Zhang Lexuan's tone was flat, without a trace of emotion, no longer as gentle as before.

Tian Mucheng smiled and said, "That's true, but I'm different from those guys at Shrek Academy. I did use you, but I also gave you a reward and a chance for revenge, didn't I?"

"What has Shrek Academy brought you? Moral blackmail and so-called academy glory?"

Hearing Tian Mucheng's straightforward words, Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but ask, "You saved me because of his kindness, right?"

"Yes!"

"You're so blunt." Zhang Lexuan's tone sounded like she was complaining, but her emotionless eyes seemed to be simply stating a fact.

Tian Mucheng crossed his legs again, his gaze falling on Zhang Lexuan, who lay on the bed like a wounded kitten: "If it weren't for the old man's kindness, I would have only treated you as a guinea pig, instead of giving you a new life. To me, my own people should be treated well, and Shrek Academy is my future enemy!"

"You really are no ordinary person. Mo Yan was sent by you to interfere with me, to create a flaw in my heart, and to slowly be swallowed by darkness, right?"

Zhang Lexuan's mind was incredibly clear at this moment. Connecting all the events, she suspected that the young man in front of her was not an ordinary family member at all, but the true leader of the family.

“You’re really smart, but sometimes you’re not so smart. Your family was wiped out, and Shrek Academy just happened to be passing by. Don’t you think that’s too much of a coincidence?” Tian Mucheng said with a smile. “Or are you unwilling to investigate further?”

“It didn’t matter before, but now,” Zhang Lexuan calmly met the gaze of the sky, “what should I do?”

"This answer is a bit unexpected." Tian Mucheng really didn't expect Zhang Lexuan to say this at this time. He thought that this woman would choose to investigate on her own.

"Really?" Zhang Lexuan saw the surprise in Tian Mucheng's eyes and rarely showed a smile: "I have no other way to go now, so I can only trust you. You can treat me as a tool or a pawn, as long as it allows me to take revenge."

She has completely turned to the dark side.

“Tools? Forget it, if the old man finds out, I’ll be in trouble.” Tian Mucheng scratched his head, but still warned, “As long as you don’t betray me, you’re family. If you do betray me, I don’t mind detonating that bit of luck within you.”

“Okay, I understand.” Zhang Lexuan nodded.

"Then you should rest well."

Seeing that Tian Mucheng was about to leave, she hurriedly called out to him, "Wait."

"What's the matter?"

"You said we're family, so can you call me 'sister'?"
