Douluo: I am the Heavenly Azure Dragon, the God of the World

Chapter 117 Three Visits to the Temple! (Two Chapters Combined)

Cui'er exclaimed, her face contorted with distress, and said indignantly, "They're so mean!"

"Those troops are stationed nearby. Are they planning to forcibly demolish the temple? Otherwise, once we get out, we'll gather all the believers! We must stop them!"

A bearded believer shouted loudly.

"it is good!!!"

"We absolutely cannot let them destroy the temple!"

"Even if it costs me my life, I won't let them get their way!"

"..."

Several believers quickly made up their minds.

One man and one woman stayed behind to take care of Cui'er, while the other believers left to gather their followers and start a conflict with the army!
Cui'er paced back and forth inside the temple, her little face puffed up with anger.

"They're so mean! Brother, come quick!"

Cui'er arrived at the altar, stood on tiptoe, and hugged the statue's calves.

At this moment, the statue suddenly emitted a faint golden light, which shone on Cui'er's little face.

Cui'er was able to see this miracle and immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Brother! You're back!"

Now it is naturally Yu Mengzhang's golden body of merit, which can be considered an avatar.

Yu Mengzhang, in his golden statue form, emerged from inside.

He landed beside Cui'er and gently rubbed her head. "Don't be afraid, I'm back."

Cui'er giggled, hugged Gu Tiandu's leg, and said proudly, "Cui'er isn't scared at all! With brother here, no bad person can hurt Cui'er."

Yu Mengzhang smiled faintly and looked outside.

The entire army in the distance came into his view.

Since the golden statue of merit here had already been completed, he didn't pay much attention to it.

As expected, the Heavenly Dou Empire has launched a war.

So he might as well just destroy those schemers.

"Rumble...!!!"

At this moment, thick dark clouds appeared in the sky and spread in all directions, completely blocking out the light.

The whole world seemed to have skipped the afternoon and arrived at dusk.

Yu Mengzhang nodded slightly. After a year, due to the dragon energy, merits, and his own cultivation, his soul power had reached level forty-nine.

This is the perfect opportunity to become a Soul King.

Meanwhile, the main body is still heading this way.

"Those bad guys will be terrified!" Cui'er clapped her hands and cheered.

Yu Mengzhang smiled slightly and patted her head. "Cui'er, do you want to go home first, or rest here?"

“I’ll stay with my brother!” Cui’er said without hesitation.

"...That's fine."

Yu Mengzhang shook his head slightly.

In fact, his golden body of merit can also be used for cultivation, and all of it will be counted in his physical body.

Therefore, in addition to his extraordinary talent, this Golden Body of Merit has been cultivating all the time, which is equivalent to two Yu Mengzhangs cultivating at all times!
Natural soul power increases quickly!

However, since Cui'er is willing to stay, he can wait a little longer.

……

After a while.

Outside the Azure Dragon Temple.

Two figures descended from the sky; they were Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua, a brother and sister.

Tang Yuehua landed on the ground, staggered, and almost got blown over by the strong wind.

Tang Xiao supported her and said helplessly, "Little sister, what are you doing here? You could have just asked your older brother to come over."

Tang Yuehua steadied herself, glanced at Tang Xiao, and said in a clear voice, "I feel that my brother might not be willing to do it, and might just do it perfunctorily and deceive me."

Tang Xiao's face flushed red, and he said in a low voice, "Little sister, what kind of image does your older brother have in your eyes?"

"Since I promised I would come, would I lie to you?"

"You're telling me to lower my stance, but that high priest is supposedly Yu Yuanzhen's grandson..."

Tang Xiao stammered, clearly unhappy.

Tang Yuehua glared at him. "I knew it! That's why I came in person. Don't say anything out of line later, and be sure to respect the ritual!"

"..." Tang Xiao nodded helplessly in the face of Tang Yuehua's sharp gaze, "Alright, alright, I promise you."

Tang Yuehua then withdrew her gaze with satisfaction, walked to the temple entrance, and gently knocked twice.

"Boom...!"

Tang Xiao felt quite helpless.

He was unwilling to come over, partly because he didn't want to be subservient to the two children.

Secondly, he and Yu Yuanzhen had talked about this place, and both said they would not interfere and would stay as far away as possible.

As soon as he left the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, his sister called him over.

It seems like he says one thing to your face and another behind your back.

Tang Xiao looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and sighed inwardly.

Perhaps this strange celestial phenomenon was one of the reasons that changed his mind.

The door opens.

Tang Yuehua entered first.

"High Priest, Lesser Priest..."

Tang Yuehua greeted them respectfully, and then went to worship the statue.

Tang Xiao, who was following behind, felt extremely embarrassed when he saw this scene.

If he had a choice, he would absolutely not have followed suit.

Tang Yuehua turned and glanced at Tang Xiao, her eyes filled with a threatening look.

Tang Xiao had no choice but to follow Tang Yuehua's example and did the whole thing.

A face with sharp, chiseled features was stained red.

Yu Mengzhang looked at the two men with a calm expression and asked, "What brings you here?"

Tang Yuehua and Tang Xiao stood up.

Tang Xiao remained silent, looking at Tang Yuehua.

Tang Yuehua said solemnly, "High Priest, we know what the Heavenly Dou Empire wants to do, and we do not agree with it. On the contrary, the actions of the Temple are more worthy of our respect."

"If the temple needs any help, Haotian Sect is willing to cooperate and do its best."

Tang Yuehua looked at Yu Mengzhang with expectant eyes.

This is to bind the Haotian Sect to the Azure Dragon Temple's chariot.

This means a complete break with the Heavenly Dou royal family!
Tang Xiao's expression changed drastically, but looking at Tang Yuehua's profile, he said nothing.

"No need." Yu Mengzhang shook his head slightly, not caring at all.

Tang Yuehua was stunned. Haotian Sect was the leader of the three upper sects. It took the initiative to come and form an alliance, but it was being ignored?

"High Priest, our Clear Sky Sect currently has five Title Douluos..."

Tang Yuehua has once again revealed the strength of the Haotian Sect.

It should be noted that the second-ranked sect among the three upper sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, only has two Title Douluo, and the third-ranked sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, only has one.

The Haotian Sect has more than the other two sects combined!

In terms of the strength of Soul Masters, it is second only to the Spirit Hall.

How could I possibly be rejected?
Tang Xiao looked at Yu Mengzhang with some resentment.

It's one thing to be unwilling to submit, but now that the other party doesn't even want to take notice of him, Tang Xiao feels even more frustrated!

That's really underestimating their Haotian Sect!

Yu Mengzhang remained unmoved and said calmly, "No need for further words. If there's nothing else, go back."

"..."

Tang Yuehua and Tang Xiao were both dumbfounded, speechless for a moment. They both felt as if the Haotian Sect had been rejected...

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

"High Priest, I am Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I request an audience."

Ning Fengzhi said in a gentle voice.

Tang Xiao's face flushed red, and he subconsciously grabbed Tang Yuehua's shoulder, hiding behind the door to conceal himself.

"..."

Tang Yuehua's lips twitched slightly.

Yu Mengzhang ignored the brother and sister and waved his hand, opening the door.

Outside, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were standing at the door. Upon seeing him, they immediately bowed and paid their respects.

"High Priest, I will not go in. There are some things I would like to say to you," Ning Fengzhi said respectfully.

"What is it?" Yu Mengzhang asked.

The Tang siblings, standing on one side of the door, couldn't help but slightly change their expressions when they heard Ning Fengzhi coming over.

Tang Yuehua looked at Tang Xiao suspiciously. Tang Xiao had previously refused to come, saying that the three families had agreed not to get involved and would not help either side.

Why is Ning Fengzhi suddenly coming here? He's clearly saying one thing and meaning another!
"The Heavenly Dou Empire is targeting the Azure Dragon Temple. Although Feng Zhi is the Crown Prince's tutor and tried his best to mediate, unfortunately... the nobles are too powerful and he is powerless to do anything about it."

"So I've come here specifically to remind the High Priest, and at the same time, I'd like to ask, to what extent will the High Priest go?"

Ning Fengzhi asked.

He is too deeply connected to the Heavenly Dou royal family.

It's impossible to get too close to the Azure Dragon Temple openly.

Knowing the strength of the Azure Dragon Temple, he was unwilling to be implicated by the Heavenly Dou Royal Family.

If I do someone a favor now, I hope I won't be held responsible later.

Yu Mengzhang glanced at Ning Fengzhi. This was indeed a clever man; he could tell from the dark clouds Ning Fengzhi had set up that he was planning something big this time.

That's right, he's not the type to slap you back if you slap him.

Back then, the Tian Dou royal family and nobles wanted to target him, so they sent a thug to assassinate him.

He then directly killed the head of the nobles of the Heavenly Dou Empire in the imperial court.

It also directly destroyed most of the palace.

Now that the Heavenly Dou royal family has mobilized its army, what are they planning to do with real weapons?

How could he possibly say that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, or that he has restrained his claws?

It's definitely going to hurt!
Let those nobles know the wrath of the Azure Dragon God!

Since they have no reverence for the gods and dare to challenge divine power, they should be punished!

Seeing Yu Mengzhang's silence, Ning Fengzhi's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the other party might really be about to take drastic measures!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not far from Tiandou City; we can't let it get caught in the crossfire!

"Feng Zhi understands..."

"If the God-King or High Priest needs any help from Feng Zhi, please feel free to give the order."

Ning Fengzhi adopted a very humble attitude, and after speaking, he took his leave.

Yu Mengzhang watched their retreating figures disappear into the air.

Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua both breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, they hadn't been discovered, otherwise, it would have been too awkward for them to meet!
"Brother, do you still think we shouldn't have come?"

Tang Yuehua said softly.

Tang Xiao shook his head repeatedly, knowing Ning Fengzhi's wisdom.

The fact that the other party came all this way proves that what he is doing is correct.

The Heaven Dou Empire is not even in the same league as the Azure Dragon Temple!

"Girl, we..."

Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua were just about to leave.

Suddenly, a familiar fluctuation of soul power appeared outside.

Tang Xiao's pupils contracted, and he opened his mouth, but a name remained stuck on his lips.

Yu Yuanzhen…!
This same person, who had also said he wouldn't interfere, actually came in person!
Goodness, all three of them said the same thing, yet they all showed up!
This is too embarrassing!

Tang Xiao hurriedly pulled Tang Yuehua close to the wall to prevent Yu Yuanzhen from seeing them.

Outside, Yu Yuanzhen didn't actually come alone; he brought the village chief with him, and they landed at the temple entrance.

Yu Yuanzhen stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Your village chief misses you and is very worried about you, so I sent him here to fulfill your family bond."

"..." Yu Mengzhang glanced at Yu Yuanzhen indifferently.

Yu Yuanzhen tilted his chin up, looking as if that was all.

The village chief looked at Yu Mengzhang, and a kind and gentle smile immediately appeared on his wrinkled face as he walked over quickly.

"Meng Zhang... it's been a year since we last met."

The village chief came to the side, raised his hand, paused in mid-air, and said with a sense of vicissitude in his eyes.

Yu Mengzhang has changed even more in the year since we last met.

Especially the air of nobility about him made people afraid to look him directly in the eye.

Even wealthy people like Tang Yuehua and Ning Fengzhi dared not look him in the eye, which speaks volumes.

Moreover, Yu Mengzhang is now taller than the village chief.

Yu Mengzhang grasped the village chief's hand and smiled, "Village chief, how are your uncles and aunts?"

Although he never met the villagers, he still dedicated his merits to them.

Almost all the villagers live to be a hundred years old, free from disasters and illnesses.

"Okay, everything's fine... It's just that everyone's worried about you, Meng Zhang. How did you manage to provoke the Empire?"

"Well... your Uncle Tree Root came yesterday, but he was driven away by the army and even beaten up. They said he's not allowed to come here anymore... Luckily, the clan chief brought me here. He just wanted to see you and make sure you weren't being bullied..."

The village chief looked worried; in his mind, the empire was the most powerful in the world.

If the Azure Dragon Temple offends the Heavenly Dou Empire, won't it be doomed?

“Meng Zhang, why don’t you just run away? Go back to the village. Our village is rich now, we can support you. And there’s this little girl too.”

The village chief said with concern.

Yu Mengzhang shook his head slightly and comforted him, "Village Chief, don't worry, there won't be any problems. The Azure Dragon Temple will not be destroyed by the Empire, and I will not be injured."

The village chief was still somewhat incredulous. "Really?"

"certainly……"

At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen spoke up: "Brother, don't worry. Meng Zhang is, after all, a descendant of our Blue Point Tyrannosaurus Rex family. If he is in real danger, I will not stand idly by. At least I can save his life."

Upon hearing this, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief and bowed repeatedly to Yu Yuanzhen.

Compared to Yu Mengzhang's reassurance, he trusted Yu Yuanzhen's guarantee more.

Yu Mengzhang glanced at the other person and nodded slightly, "Thank you."

He wasn't thanking the other party for their guarantee, as that wouldn't be of any use to him anyway.

Rather, it was the other party who could help appease the village chief.

“I’m serious. No matter how many drawbacks you see in the family, there’s one thing that will never be wrong: we’re family, we share the good times and the bad!”

Yu Yuanzhen said solemnly.

At that moment, a gasp suddenly came from the temple.

"Who?!" Yu Yuanzhen exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't be nervous, it's me, Boss Yu..."

At this moment, Tang Xiao and his sister came out of the temple.

Upon seeing them, Yu Yuanzhen's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "What are you doing here?!"

Tang Xiao's face also turned red. He slapped his forehead, regretting coming out, and pointed at Tang Yuehua, "My sister insisted on bringing me here. And you, Boss Yu?"

Yu Yuanzhen was also dumbfounded; he had said he wouldn't get involved.

They just said all that.

"I...I came with my older brother..."
