Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 289 Accident
Tie Li originally intended to lure out the descendants of the traitors in the Star Luo Imperial Palace through the Duke of Youming.

The success rate of persuading the Duke of the Underworld is not high, but it is worth a try.

Tie Li suspected that the Star Luo royal family might be the target of the Spirit Hall's schemes, and that major internal problems were brewing.

Entering the Star Luo Imperial Palace does not guarantee a safe exit; one's presence may also arouse excessive suspicion from the Spirit Hall, potentially leading to unfavorable developments.

I still need time. At the very least, I need to grow to the level of a Title Douluo before I will be able to face the series of events that will follow.

I intended to give a brief explanation of the situation, but the imprint in Tie Li's mind was locked and moving towards the Zhu family mansion.

"Duke of the Underworld, people from the palace have arrived. Would you mind if we watched from the shadows?"

Duke Youming frowned. He himself was unaware that someone from the palace had come. How could he know?
"Okay, but first you must release the offerings from my Zhu family."

"it is good."

Tie Li gave a signal, and Lei Zhen released his restraints on the six people.

Duke Youming witnessed this scene. Could he command these two Title Douluos?
……

Mu Ling is a court count of the Star Luo Imperial Palace, but he has no real power or fiefdom. Therefore, he took sides early on when the competition for succession began.

He is Davis's most loyal supporter.

He had just received orders from Davis to go to the Zhu family mansion and kill Duke Youming and Zhu Zhuyi.

Once the Zhu family loses these two individuals, they will lose their voice in the Star Luo Empire.

This matter is extremely important and cannot be allowed to fail, otherwise it will provoke a backlash from the Zhu family and may cause turmoil in the Star Luo Empire.

What puzzled Mu Ling was that taking action against the Duke of Youming would have a significant impact, regardless of whether it succeeded or failed. The First Prince already held most of the real power, so there was no need to take such a big risk to do this.

If it really is Davis, then of course there's no need to do this.

"hiss!"

Mu Ling trembled as his martial spirit and spirit rings appeared uncontrollably. Lately, he had been feeling inexplicably fearful and restless!

Two yellow, three purple and two black!

Mu Ling is a genuine Soul Saint with a Soul Power level of 74. His Martial Soul is the Thunder Staff, which has a blue gem at the top that is filled with violent lightning.

Deep within the gemstone, a broken mark emits a faint glow.

"what happened?"

The black-robed man behind Mu Ling looked at Mu Ling in confusion, then suddenly released his martial spirit and spirit rings, even though there was clearly no danger around.

"No, it's probably because I've been too tired lately," Mu Ling said, shaking his head.

The black-robed figure behind him was a titled Douluo.

The fact that the eldest prince can command a titled Douluo to serve him shows that he is indeed the future ruler of the empire.

The two arrived at the gate of the Zhu family mansion, and Mu Ling immediately showed the token that Davis had given him.

Upon seeing the token, the soldiers at the gate immediately turned and headed towards the gate, no longer offering any resistance.

"Earl Muling, are you here to see the master?"

The old steward of the mansion recognized Mu Ling and respectfully stepped forward to inquire.

“Yes, take me to see Duke Youming. This is the Crown Prince’s order,” Mu Ling added.

"Okay, I'll take you there right away."

The old steward led Mu Ling to the main hall of the Zhu residence. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Duke Youming sitting in the main seat.

Years of military service have left their mark on his face, but as one of the highest commanders of the imperial army, even a simple gesture exudes an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Although Duke Youming may not be considered a pillar of the nation, he is definitely a major pillar of the Star Luo Empire!
Upon first meeting Duke Youming, Mu Ling was overwhelmed by the prestige emanating from the middle-aged man before him, and couldn't help but wonder if the Crown Prince's orders were wrong.

But the arrow is on the string and must be fired.

"Senior, please do it."

"boom"

Two yellow, two purple, and five black—nine soul rings appeared beneath the black-robed man. His aura locked onto the Netherworld Duke the instant he saw him.

"How dare you!" Zhu Zhuyi's face turned red with anger. She hadn't expected Mu Ling to be so bold as to dare to lay a hand on her elder brother in the Zhu residence.

But the man in black robes didn't care about any of that and charged straight at Duke Youming.

Two yellow, two purple, and four black!

Eight spirit rings appeared beneath the Netherworld Duke; his martial spirit was the inherited martial spirit, the Netherworld Spirit Cat.

"boom"

The man in black robes did not release his martial soul. As a titled Douluo, his soul power level alone was sufficient to deal with a Soul Douluo.

Huh?
The man in black robes was taken aback; his attack had missed its target.

But that's all.

"thorn"

"senior……"

A thunderous roar sounded behind the man in black robes, followed by Mu Ling's scream.

Lei Zhen's sharp claws pierced Mu Ling's chest, and fierce lightning engulfed his entire body. In less than three breaths, Mu Ling's body disappeared completely in the lightning.

"A Title Douluo?" The man in black robes looked at Lei Zhen in disbelief. There was actually a Title Douluo in the Zhu family mansion. The situation seemed to be out of his control.

"boom"

A thunderclap suddenly appeared, and the shockwave struck the man in black robes.

The terrifying lightning startled the man in black robes. Facing a level 95 Title Douluo, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

"Is it the Panlong Staff Martial Soul?"

Tie Li, hidden in the shadows, recognized the black-robed man's martial spirit.

The Panlong Staff martial spirit harbors the Evil-Slaying Dragon, which is formed from the condensation of heaven and earth energy. It is not subject to the control of the Dragon God and has the characteristic of warding off evil, allowing the martial spirit holder to always maintain the best mental state.

Upon seeing the Panlong Staff martial spirit, Tie Li could roughly guess the other party's identity.

Sure enough, the Star Luo royal family had the layout of the Spirit Hall.

"boom"

The aftershocks from their collision were extremely violent, instantly causing a huge sensation in the Zhu residence.

Seeing that Lei Zhen was at a disadvantage, Bing Ju wanted to help, but Tie Li stopped him.

"It won't last long."

Just as Tie Li had guessed, the man in black robes knew that he could not kill Duke Youming today when he saw Lei Zhen there.

The third spirit ring on his body lit up, and the Panlong Staff briefly erupted, directly blasting Lei Zhen dozens of meters away. The black-robed man immediately fled.

"Why not just keep him?" Bing asked, puzzled.

The man in black robes was indeed very strong, but Bingju felt that if he joined forces with Lei Zhen and combined with the amplification from Tie Li's Thunder God Domain, there was a high chance they could capture him.

Tie Li simply shook his head and didn't say anything more.

The three of them working together could defeat him, but they definitely couldn't kill him; if Bingju made a move, they would expose themselves to him, and his identity would be quickly guessed.

However, given Lei Zhen's actions and his status as the Duke of Youming, the other party might not be able to guess everything, and would likely be hesitant and wary.

They have repeatedly provoked the Spirit Hall; the Spirit Hall is not to be trifled with.

The current situation is arguably the best for Tieli.

Duke Youming watched the man in black robes leave, the gloomy look in his eyes lingering.

Mu Ling is a supporter of Davis, and his presence here speaks volumes.

But taking such a drastic step against himself won't do him any good.
