Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Chapter 357 Old Chen: Pressure

Is it the butterfly effect? ​​Or is there a conflict in space, and the planes are being forcibly repaired?

Inside the dormitory, Sheng Yangyue sat alone in a chair, looking at the memories written in her notebook, stroking her chin in thought.

In this trial in the Demon Forest, he used the Yang energy he had stored up for nearly a year, which felt like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Originally, he intended to save this move for either Long Xiaoyao or Mu En.

Or together.

It seems they won't have the chance to see it.

Moon: ???
Long Xiaoyao: ? ? ?
With five months to go before the Soul Master Competition, the Yang power he has saved up can at most kill opponents below the Soul King level. It will be difficult to deal with Soul Kings and above, and at most he can only inflict serious damage.

He tapped the table lightly, his gaze fixed on the deep blue sky and the dazzling sun outside the window.

At the same time, plotting the fate of the three most dazzling people of this era is arguably the riskiest thing to do, as it could be detected by the "Great Buddha Tang" in the heavens at any time.

However, there is a way to avoid the risks: bring an extra clone to share the fortune of the three people. This way, it is possible to deceive everyone and escape unscathed.

However, among his many clones, only he possesses the ability to travel through time, and this ability is limited to his own use, making it extremely risky to bring others along.

Moreover, his personality dictates that he would never bring anyone with him.

He only wanted to absorb the fortune of these three people and then bring it back to his main body.

He slowly closed the notebook and casually tossed it into the void.

Next, we'll follow the script if possible, and adapt to the situation if not.

If that "Great Buddha Tang" catches me then...

A glint of madness and greed flashed in Sheng Yangyue's eyes. He really wanted to see if this guy, who considered himself a god, would bleed!

Inside the palace...

The atmosphere inside the hall at this moment could be described as extremely tense.

When Elder Chen learned from Kong Deming that such a thing had happened in the Demon Forest, he was instantly enraged. Without considering the consequences, he summoned all his old comrades to the palace to confront the current Sun and Moon Emperor!
The news spread quickly, instantly attracting the attention of countless prominent families.

They were all very curious about what had happened that made Elder Chen, the most senior ninth-level soul master in the empire, lead a group of old friends to the palace to demand an explanation from the emperor.

As for going in with them? Only a fool would dare to do that.

The reason why Old Chen dared to be so tough was because of his strength and achievements; which emperor wouldn't give him some face?

You're not giving me face? Then the Imperial Palace might cause trouble for you, the emperor.

At this moment, Kong Deming silently followed behind the several level-nine soul masters. This was the first time he had participated in such a large-scale operation, and he felt a little nervous but also excited.

"Old Chen, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Yu knew the specific reason why Old Chen was here, but he had to pretend to be stupid and fool him.

Old Chen, a cunning old fox, saw through Xu Yu's attempt to feign ignorance and deceive him. He immediately bluntly stated, "Your Majesty, I know you've joined forces with the evil soul masters for the sake of national development, but you've extended your reach to the students of the Sun Moon Team. You owe me an explanation, don't you? If something happens to them, will they be unable to participate in the Soul Master Competition five months from now? Besides, the venue for this competition is none other than our Sun Moon Empire!"

"At that time, how will the other three countries view our Sun Moon Royal Academy and Empire? Will they think that the Sun Moon Empire has even regressed in its soul tool level, or will they be so afraid that they will simply withdraw from the competition?"

Old Chen's words were sharp, elevating the matter to the imperial level, and even revealing in front of so many people that the emperor was cooperating with the evil spirit master.

Xu Yu could no longer pretend to be stupid, otherwise the families and royal factions eavesdropping outside would definitely have other ideas.

At that time, the imperial power he had just consolidated would collapse instantly.

He couldn't help but glare at Elder Chen, feeling extremely dissatisfied with Elder Chen's words. He wanted to get angry but ultimately held back and explained, "Elder Chen, I just wanted Elder Zhong to test whether this year's Sun and Moon Team can shoulder the great responsibility."

A test by a level 99 powerhouse is enough to make the children grow up completely.

and……"

As he spoke, Xu Yu glanced at Kong Deming, who was standing at the very back, before continuing to say to Old Chen, "Didn't the children return safely?"

"Your Majesty, I want an explanation from you, not some nonsense!" Old Chen didn't listen to what His Majesty was saying about how to compensate the child; he just felt that His Majesty was making excuses to fool him.

He instantly stopped giving the emperor any face. If the emperor didn't give him an explanation today, he should really consider the late emperor's words: "If this child is unable to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the country, Elder Chen, you have the right to depose him."

As the emperor, how could Xu Yu not understand the deeper meaning in Chen Lao's words and the warning in his eyes?

He understood that if he didn't give Old Chen a real explanation today, he might really be deposed by him.

Don't ask him how he knew; Old Chen is really capable of doing such a thing!
"Old Chen, don't get agitated. I'll explain." Xu Yu finally relented. "I just wanted to test whether Sheng Yangyue could shoulder the heavy responsibility. I intend to nurture this rising genius of the empire."

"However, this matter was indeed due to my oversight."

"I will provide the team and the academy with appropriate compensation. What do you think, Elder Chen?"

"Your Majesty, what I want is an explanation, not these empty words!" Old Chen refused to budge. He wanted the emperor's clear attitude and assurance, not these perfunctory words.

“If Your Majesty cannot do it, then the Hall of Offerings will not stand idly by.”

Old Chen emphasized his words, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

Xu Yu's face turned pale and then red, and finally he took a deep breath and said, "Very well, I promise that I will never allow evil soul masters to contact the team members again, and I will give each member generous compensation, including soul tools and cultivation resources. Is Elder Chen satisfied with this?"

Old Chen looked at Xu Yu, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly nodded: "It would be good if Your Majesty kept your word."

"Then this old minister will take his leave." Old Chen bowed respectfully to Xu Yu, then turned and led everyone away.

Xu Yu watched with a smile as Old Chen led a group of people away. But as soon as they left, the smile vanished instantly, replaced by rage.

He grabbed whatever he could throw and hurled it away. “What a bunch of condescending seniority! I was just trying to cultivate a trusted confidant, and this is how you treat me! Elder Chen, don’t think that just because you’re senior, I won’t dare to touch you!”

"If Sheng Yangyue does not agree to submit after the Soul Master Competition, then I will make him disappear from this world, and no one can stop him!"
