Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 181 The Alliance of the Three Kingdoms
At noon, the area outside the gates of Tiandou City was bustling with activity, with thousands of people coming and going every minute.

However, the moment Lin Po stepped through the city gate, he experienced his first social death in many years of his life.

Before everyone's eyes, a dozen strangely shaped but powerful soul masters stood in a neat row, and before Lin Po could react, they knelt on one knee and shouted loudly:

"Greetings, Honorary Elder!"

The sound was so loud that even those who had already entered the city turned around and stopped to watch.

Lin Po's figure froze on the spot, his previous leisurely demeanor gone.

At the same time, the leg that had already stepped out stopped in mid-air, unable to land or retract, and finally had to turn around and walk in front of the main body sect member.

"Get up. Do you know me?"

Upon hearing Lin Po's question, one of the Soul Masters with the strongest aura and a slightly swollen head stepped forward after getting up; he was clearly the leader of this squad.

"The sect leader told us about your habit of disguising yourself, and your invincible performance in the Soul Fighting Tournament has long been known to the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"This old man... you've been waiting here all this time?"

"Yes! The sect leader said you would be returning to the sect soon, but since he didn't know the exact time, he arranged for us to wait here."

Having learned the whole story, Lin Po shook his head helplessly. How come he never realized before that this old guy, Poisonless, liked to play this trick?

"I understand. Come with me, there are too many people here."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Po turned and walked towards the palace.

I have no choice but to go; my whereabouts have been exposed, and in such a short time, the news has probably already reached the palace.

At the same time, all the disciples of the Body Sect looked at the leading Body Soul Master, awaiting his orders.

"What are you looking at me for?! Follow me! Remember, this is an honorary elder. Apart from the sect master, he has the highest status in the sect!"

After reprimanding the group of dim-witted disciples behind him, he hurriedly caught up with Lin Po, who had already gone far away.

Walking along the main road leading to the palace, Lin Po learned about the Body Sect from the big-headed Soul Saint.

It was much better than he had expected. Not only were there almost no voices of opposition, but some disciples even developed a sense of admiration for Lin Po after learning about his strength.

After all, the Body Sect has always been a one-man show where Poison Cannot Die, not to mention that he recently broke through to the Limit Douluo level.

Who would dare disobey or disbelieve the words of a Limit Douluo?

"Has the sect leader been informed of my arrival in Heaven Dou City?"

"I have informed you. The Sect Master has been waiting for you recently and will likely arrive in Tiandou City soon after receiving the message."

"Hmm? You came really fast."

Just as Lin Po was about to say something, an extremely strong dark green aura suddenly appeared in his senses and was about to reach him.

"Hahaha, Lin boy, your senses are still so sharp. Even though I've broken through my limits, you can still detect me."

"Instead of praising me, you should learn how to conceal your aura. It's hard not to notice a blatant display of power."

At the same time, Du Bu Si, dressed in a dark green robe, stepped out of the spatial rift, his smug expression making Lin Po's eyelids twitch.

"Hmph! What's there to hide? I was able to break through my limits thanks to you, and now I can't even show off a little?"

"If it weren't for waiting for you, I would have already stormed up Shrek Academy and given that stupid bull a good beating."

Upon hearing Du Busi say this, Lin Po became interested. That old guy Mu En really deserved to die, and he could also retrieve the Golden Tree while he was at it.

"Since you've put it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony. Once I've finished what I'm doing, you absolutely have to come with me to Shrek Academy."

"Sure, sure. It's just that something came up, could you take a look?"

"Don't go too far. This matter isn't even settled yet, and you're already asking me for payment? Besides, didn't you promise me this from the beginning?"

The frequent conversations, which sounded like those between old friends, left the many disciples of the Body Sect behind them dumbfounded.

Shouldn't the sect leader and elders be in a superior-subordinate relationship? It's not quite right for them to chat so casually. No matter how unrestrained the Body Sect is, it still values ​​respect for the strong.

As they spoke, the group arrived at the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace, where Lin Po spotted Vina waiting for him from afar. Vina, overjoyed to see her beloved after more than ten days apart, grabbed her skirt and ran towards Lin Po.

Then, under the slightly teasing gaze of Poison Undying, Vina threw herself into Lin Po's arms.

"Brother Linpo, you're finally here!"

"I've already promised you, how could I not come?"

Lin Po put one arm around the girl's slender waist, gently leaned his head close to her ear and whispered something, causing the girl's ears to turn red instantly.

"Cough cough!"

Poison-Free, who had never been in a relationship, couldn't stand the couple's mushy behavior and coughed twice to interrupt their conversation.

Vina then belatedly realized that her sect leader was still standing to the side. She quickly left Lin Po's embrace and bowed slightly, her face flushed.

"Vina greets the Sect Master."

"Tsk tsk, the little girl from back then has grown up. She only has eyes for her lover and no longer cares about her elders."

"metropolitan!"

Lin Po didn't know if it was because he had broken through his limits, but he felt that Du Busi was less domineering and more easygoing than before.

In the past, even if one was optimistic about Vina's talent, one would never have made such a harmless joke.

After comparing the situations of Zhongli Wu and Mu En, Lin Po had some guesses about the conditions for breaking through the limit.

However, now was not the time to think about these things, so he put aside his thoughts and blocked the blushing girl behind him.

"Stop, stop, stop! You shameless old man, don't bully my Vina. This little girl can't stand your rough teasing."

Seeing this, Du Busi laughed heartily, but also changed the subject.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

After saying that, the disciples of the Body Sect dispersed at Du Busi's signal, leaving only Lin Po and the other three to continue walking towards the palace.

Having shaken off her shyness, Vina began to recount the changes in various forces across the continent after the Soul Battle Tournament.

Lin Po, who already knew most of the information, showed no impatience whatsoever. Not only was it Vina's kindness that couldn't be ignored, but there might also be things he didn't know.

Sure enough, Lin Po showed some surprise when the term "Three Kingdoms Alliance" was mentioned.

"What's the deal with this 'Three Kingdoms Alliance'?"

Vina did not hesitate when she heard Lin Po's question, and immediately explained the details. Her virtuous wife demeanor made Mu Xue shake her head.

"This alliance was only brought up by the Star Luo Empire in the last few days, and even I know very little about it."

"However, according to intelligence from our spies, the Star Luo Emperor seems to have fallen seriously ill after the Soul Battle Tournament. It is said that he even vomited blood and fell into a coma, only waking up a few days ago."

"After he woke up, he immediately convened a meeting of all the country's important officials, and even unprecedentedly allowed his sister to participate in the meeting as a princess."

"Then, just two days later, the concept of the 'Three Kingdoms Alliance' was presented to the other two countries. As for the specific details, they said they would discuss them at the meeting."

After saying that, Vina looked at Lin Po's profile, feeling somewhat worried that this matter might affect Lin Po.

To her surprise, Lin Po showed no sign of worry at all; instead, he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Xu Jiawei was really angry. I just took some of his things, and he actually vomited blood from anger."

And this alliance too—they were pushed to the limit by me.

"Huh? Brother Linpo, you mean the Star Luo Emperor vomited blood and fainted because of you? And the idea of ​​forming an alliance was also because of you?"

Even Du Busi and Mu Xue, who had remained silent until now, looked at Lin Po, waiting for his answer.

Seeing this, Lin Po had nothing to hide and bluntly told everyone what he had done in Xingluo City.

A moment later, the different emotions of Mu Xue, Vina, and Du Bu Si filled Lin Po with immense satisfaction.
