Douluo: Crossing the Yuhao Star Palace Master

Chapter 132 The Worried Duchess

Thousands of years ago, the Star Luo Empire's royal family was not yet the Xu family, who inherited the Star Crown Martial Soul.

At that time, the true master of this powerful ancient empire was the White Tiger Clan, which had been passed down for ten thousand years. This clan is now the most powerful lineage of the Star Luo Empire, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

The White Tiger Clan was once incredibly powerful, with its patriarchs Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing becoming the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils, having ascended to godhood. Even though it is not as powerful as it once was, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion still wields immense influence within the Star Luo Empire.

Even the Star Luo Emperor had to show deference to the White Tiger Duke.

The Xu family, the royal family of the Star Crown lineage, has always been unable to consolidate power in the country due to its fear of the White Tiger lineage and the various noble forces behind it, thus being threatened by the Sun Moon Empire, which borders it.

This led some old nobles who were lurking in the shadows to have some improper thoughts. In addition, the Xu family has always been small in number, so many ambitious people once again made some collusion and conspiracy.

The fundamental reason is that the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei, no longer follows the old ways and attempts to reduce the power of the nobility in order to strengthen the centralization of imperial power, thereby promoting the integration of the entire empire to resist the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire.

As a representative of the aristocratic power, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion became the anchor point of the struggle between the two sides. As a result, the current White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao, dared not return home and spent most of his time in the military. This was to avoid the suspicion of Emperor Xu Jiawei and to use his military achievements to earn more bargaining chips for his family's security.

Xu Jiawei was naturally aware of his thoughts, so he deliberately placed many confidants in the Northwest Army of Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger.

As a result, the decision-making for various affairs of the White Tiger Duke's mansion usually fell to the Duchess.

The reception room of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Inside the magnificent, luxuriously decorated hall, several people sat upright, seemingly discussing something, each with a smile on their face.

Several middle-aged men dressed in splendid attire rose and bowed respectfully to the Duchess. “Madam, we have benefited greatly from your visit today. If your household needs anything in the future, please do not hesitate to come to us. We may not be able to do much near the capital, but we can certainly have some influence in the vast territory beyond the capital.”

The Duchess smiled and nodded. "That's excellent. I hope we can cooperate more in the future."

The nobles exchanged smiles; now that the cooperation had been reached, they naturally had to leave.

"Buzz!"

Just as these nobles were about to return home, suddenly, a terrifying aura of soul power spread out from the sky above the Duke's mansion, instantly alarming thousands of people throughout the mansion.

Those who hadn't left the reception room changed their expressions slightly.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Soon, several powerful auras burst forth from the inner palace of the White Tiger Duke's mansion and flew into the air.

"Please, gentlemen, rest for a while. I have some matters to attend to." The Duchess then gave a wink to the maid beside her. The nobles, with their varied expressions, were then led away by the maids and servants to avoid the commotion.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the White Tiger Duke's mansion?"

A powerful voice boomed through the air.

In the sky, several old men had various spirit rings floating behind them, one of whom was a nine-ring titled Douluo. The question just asked was uttered by this man.

This was an elderly man with gray hair and a robust physique. He looked sharply at the group of people outside the Duke's mansion, waiting for their reply.

The newcomers' identities were unknown, and the elders of the White Tiger Duke's mansion dared not make any rash moves, but they were also prepared to fight at any time.

Ding Jian stood with his hands behind his back, nine identical spirit rings floating behind him. He coldly looked at the group of powerful figures from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and said, "We are here on the orders of Dean Ming Feng Douluo of Shrek Academy to deliver a personal letter! We request that the White Tiger Duke or Duchess come to receive it in person!"

Upon hearing about Mingfeng Douluo, the elders lowered their guard and became puzzled.

Shrek Academy? Mingfeng Douluo?

The relationship between Shrek Academy and the White Tiger Family can be traced back to ten thousand years ago. The two sides have a deep history. Now, Shrek Academy is going to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to put on a show of force. What does this mean?
Ding Jian's voice was loud, and the Duchess immediately flew into the air and took the letter sealed with soul guidance technology from his hand.

The Duchess dared not delay and immediately opened the letter and read it carefully.

At the same time, Ding Jian made a gesture to the people behind him, and the six men threw the six assassins, who had already been crippled, into the air towards the group of elders.

"This is..." The elder titled Douluo at the head looked at an elder Soul Douluo behind him. The two exchanged a glance and then carefully examined the black-clad figures in their respective hands.
Although the six assassins had erased all traces of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, these were all the White Tiger Duke's secret guards, and the elders still had special methods within the mansion to confirm them.

But the confirmation itself was a shock to the elders, and their hearts grew heavy.
The Duchess had finished reading the letter, and her face turned extremely pale. Both of her sons had been expelled from Shrek Academy for plotting to assassinate the adopted sons of the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department! She had to bring apologies and go to Shrek Academy as soon as possible to bring them back.
The Duchess felt incredibly heavy-hearted; this matter couldn't be ignored, and Dai Hao would definitely find out.
The thought filled her with worry; what if both of her sons lost their soul power?
The Duchess temporarily suppressed her sorrow, bowed respectfully to Ding Jian who had come to deliver the message, and said, "My unfilial son's evil deeds are truly my fault! I hope that your esteemed academy, out of consideration for our long-standing friendship, will spare my two sons a future. I will certainly bring ample gifts to apologize, and I hope you will all put in a good word for me when you return!"

"The Dean's decision is not for us to presume! Duchess, we have delivered the letter and the person. Your two sons await your personal arrival! Take care of yourselves! Let's go!"

After saying this, before the Duchess could ask any further questions, Ding Jian waved his hand, and the group activated their flying soul tools, leaving the Duke's mansion in the blink of an eye.

The group of elders at the head of the group were quite worried after hearing the conversation between the Duchess and Ding Jian. Even though they didn't know what Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin had done, they all understood that they had caused a great disaster and Shrek Academy had probably already dismissed them.
The Duchess sighed, turned to look at the only elder at the Title Douluo level, and said, "Elder Fan, fellow elders, let's go to the council hall to talk!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Duchess took the lead, followed closely by the elders, all heading towards the council hall.
