Douluo: Dominating Douluo begins with summoning Kong Deming

Chapter 98 Oh, isn't this an old acquaintance?

"Bing'er, speaking of which, your deceased mother was my uncle's sister."

"If we're really talking about our relationship, you should call me cousin."

A large number of people had already gathered in the Shui family's hall.

One of the young men was leaning back in the main seat, his lewd gaze constantly sweeping over the girl in front of him.

Beside the young man stood an old man in black with a sallow complexion, his eyes slightly closed and no breath was visible.

The girl, being scrutinized by the young man, had an unusually cold expression, like a block of ice that had never melted.

"ridiculous!"

Shui Bing'er sneered. Although she was only a teenager, she already had quite the air of a heroine.

“Xu Hao, when your Xuanming Sect injured my father, you didn’t seem to realize we were related at all.”

"The person who injured your father is the Grand Elder of my Xuanming Sect. What does it have to do with me?"

Xu Hao shrugged, his gaze slowly moving from Shui Bing'er to her beautiful face.

"Furthermore, the fact that our Xuanming Sect's Grand Elder wants to take you as a disciple is something many people would rather die for."

"You're so arrogant, you deserve to bring trouble upon your family."

At this point, Xu Hao couldn't help but sneer.

"I'm here to give you an ultimatum."

"If your Shui family continues to make excuses, then don't blame our Xuanming Sect for being ruthless."

Besides Shui Bing'er, there were also many members of the Shui family's collateral branches in the hall.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of these people all changed.

Currently, the head of the Shui family is seriously injured and bedridden, while the head's wife has not yet returned home because she is busy obtaining a soul ring for her youngest daughter.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, people from the Xuanming Sect came knocking on their door.

It was as if they had calculated that the Shui family was currently without anyone in charge.

Almost simultaneously, the old man next to Xu Hao suddenly opened his eyes.

Eight spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—appeared one after another beneath his feet, and an extremely cold aura instantly enveloped the entire hall.

The Shui family members were all pale-faced.

Only by constantly circulating one's soul power can one resist this chilling cold that almost penetrates to the bone marrow.

The young Shui Bing'er let out a muffled groan, and some ice crystals appeared between her eyebrows and temples, her little face turning completely bloodless.

"Those who understand the times are the heroes. From now on, the entire far north will belong to our Xuanming Sect!"

"Our Xuanming Sect is the uncrowned king of the far north!"

Xu Hao stood up, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the Shui family members, a smug smile spreading across his lips.

"Xu... Hao?"

Just then, a slightly mocking laugh came from the doorway.

"Meeting an old friend, I never expected to only learn your name today."

"Is that right, Young Master Xu?"

Xu Hao frowned.

He found the voice strangely familiar, but couldn't immediately place it.

"Who are you? Don't play tricks on me!"

Xu Hao stared intently at the entrance to the hall, and the sound of three footsteps seemed jarring in the quiet hall.

"I remember saying that if I see you again, I can't guarantee your safety."

Three figures walked into the hall.

As if by some special magic, the chilling atmosphere in the entire hall vanished completely in an instant.

"Binger!"

Lan Yuerou stepped forward and hugged Shui Bing'er, whose body was stiff, and continuously channeled her soul power into her body.

“I didn’t know before. I never imagined that your Xu family was the Xu family of the Xuanming Sect.”

Ye Ling's gaze swept over Shui Bing'er, but finally settled on Xu Hao, who was sitting in the main seat.

This person was none other than Young Master Xu, with whom he had clashed at the Tian Dou Grand Auction House.

They only let the kid off the hook because Xu Yunchang, the owner of the auction house, was sensible.

I never expected that the Xu family would be the same Xu family of the Xuanming Sect who possessed the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul.

"Ye Ling!"

Xu Hao looked extremely flustered.

Dead memories began to attack his brain again.

The last time Ye Ling appeared at the Heaven Dou Grand Auction House, he also brought this Silver Moon Douluo with him.

"Ok?"

Ye Ling frowned. "Young Master Ye... Young Master Ye."

Xu Hao quickly changed his words.

"Ah."

Ye Ling nodded slightly.

"I never expected that after leaving Tiandou City, Young Master Xu would be so bold and generous, even declaring that he would unify the far north."

Ye Ling's lips curled up slightly, but his words carried a sarcasm that anyone could hear.

"In that case, I am the one who is truly your benefactor, Young Master Xu."

"If I hadn't driven you out of Heaven Dou City, would you have achieved such success?"

Xu Hao took a deep breath, and the panic on his face subsided slightly, replaced by a fawning smile.

“Young Master Ye, your Butian Pavilion and our Xuanming Sect have always kept to themselves, and our Xuanming Sect can be considered as relatives of the imperial family.”

"Our Xuanming Sect has no intention of provoking your Butian Pavilion, and we hope that your Butian Pavilion will not interfere in the affairs of our Xuanming Sect."

Xu Hao's attitude was quite fair, and what he said was perfectly reasonable.

Ye Ling has already broken ties with the Spirit Hall. If he were to antagonize the Xuanming Sect at this point, it would hardly be a wise decision.

"That makes sense."

Ye Ling nodded slightly.

Lan Yuerou's expression changed upon hearing this.

If Ye Ling hadn't stepped in to help at this moment, the Shui family might have truly been merged into the Xuanming Sect.

"Actually, neither the Heaven-Mending Pavilion nor I personally have any deep-seated hatred with your Xuanming Sect's Xu family."

"What you want to do is none of our business, so we, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, are not interested in interfering."

Ye Ling's tone was calm, not like he was about to make a big fuss.

A hint of joy flashed across Xu Hao's face.

"but."

Ye Ling paused, a faint black and white light flickering in his eyes.

"However, if we encounter an evil spirit master, then our Heaven-Mending Pavilion will have to act on behalf of Heaven."

"An evil spirit master? What evil spirit master?"

Xu Hao was startled, but he pretended to be nonchalant on the surface.

"Our Xuanming Sect is a distant relative of the royal family, and our martial spirit is the noble Xuanwu Turtle. Please, Young Master Ye, refrain from making false accusations!"

"It used to be a Black Tortoise, but it's hard to say what it is now."

Ye Ling snorted coldly, and Kong Deming immediately took action, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield instantly covering the two of them completely.

"Silver Moon Dispels Evil!"

With a thought, Kong Deming caused the entire Silver Moon Divine Light Cover to emit a soft white light.

"The Seventh Soul Skill Martial Soul True Body!"

The old man beside Xu Hao roared and then transformed into a giant black tortoise that was over ten meters tall.

How could the entire Shui family's living room contain such a massive Martial Soul True Body?

The entire hall immediately collapsed.

"As expected, Master Kong's intuition was correct."

Even Ye Ling was taken aback when he saw the black-robed old man's true martial spirit form.

What appeared before them was clearly the skeleton of a giant Xuan Turtle, with ominous black energy swirling around its pale bones, and two dark green flames flickering in the eye sockets of its skull.

"Could it be that the Xuanming Sect is related to Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling, who were brought out through the balancing process?"

　That's all for tonight. The author has to go out on fieldwork again tomorrow. Sigh!

　　Speaking of Xu Shao, some people used to call me a saint, asking why I didn't kill him.

　　That's the reason.

　　Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling have been out for quite some time now, it's time for them to show themselves.

　　There will likely be some twists and turns regarding the third spirit ring as well.

　　After the third spirit ring is completed, the plot that everyone is looking forward to should begin.

　　The protagonist's opponents are never the Spirit Hall, or rather, they are not only the Spirit Hall.

　　The divine realm will intervene soon.

　　It will likely happen after the most anticipated part.

　　Actually, I've fallen back into my old habit; I want to start a new book again...

　　But I really don't have the energy.
