Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 122 Sisterhood
Mingdu.

The private aircraft landed on a concealed landing pad.

The hatch slid open, and Lu Jun stepped out.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Jun nodded slightly to the driver who was rubbing his hands and breathing on them.

"Young Master Lu, you're too kind. It's nothing." The driver quickly bowed. "You still don't look well. You should go back and rest. This awful weather is really strange..."

Lu Jun didn't say much, just waved his hand, turned around and strode towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Only after confirming that no one was paying attention did he quickly dial Le Zhengyu's number.

"Hey? Junior Lu Jun, you're back? How did things go?" Le Zhengyu's cheerful voice came immediately.

"Senior Le, everything went smoothly." Lu Jun breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks to you this time, I, Lu Jun, will remember this favor and will repay you handsomely in the future."

"Hey, why bring this up? It's nothing." Le Zhengyu seemed a little embarrassed on the other end of the communication, then his tone became serious. "By the way, you just got back? Did you know about Maple Leaf City? The whole city turned into a world of ice and snow overnight! My goodness, I heard that major forces like Shrek Academy and Tang Sect are in an uproar and have sent people to investigate. Did you run into them? You were alright, weren't you?"

Lu Jun's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm, his tone carrying just the right amount of surprise and a hint of lingering fear:
"I just got back from there not long ago. It was like seeing a ghost. I had just entered the city to take care of some business when suddenly it started snowing heavily without any warning. The snow was ridiculously heavy, and the temperature plummeted. I saw it with my own eyes. It was terrifying. As soon as I realized something was wrong, I finished my business and quickly left."

"My God, you really saw it with your own eyes?!" Le Zhengyu's voice was filled with shock and a hint of envy. "You're really lucky. I heard that the people who went in after you were freezing. It's good that you're alright. It's a pity that I didn't get to witness such a spectacular scene."

"It's probably in complete chaos over there right now. All sorts of powerful forces are scrambling in like sharks smelling fish. You can avoid this trouble once you've finished your business."

"Yes, thank goodness." Lu Jun continued, expressing his sincere gratitude once again. "In short, thank you very much, Senior Le. I will remember this helping hand."

"Don't mention it, we're all brothers. I'm just glad you're alright. Let's get together sometime." Le Zhengyu ended the call readily.

Putting down the soul-guided communicator, Lu Jun let out a soft sigh of relief. Le Zhengyu's trust warmed his heart, and at the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of the convenience that came with being a child.

Who could have imagined that the Soul Master, who could be crushed by the aftershocks of a Super Douluo battle, would be the instigator of this earth-shattering, frozen catastrophe?

He glanced at the time on his soul guide watch and frowned slightly.

"Oh no, it's Teacher Wu's practical lesson."

Thinking of Wu Changkong's strict attitude towards being late, Lu Jun disregarded his physical exhaustion and the stinging pain in his soul. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed all discomfort, and with a slight release of soul power, he quickly returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy like an arrow released from a bow.

……

Leng Yaozhu's office at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

She was standing in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the dazzling lights of Mingdu's steel jungle, but her phoenix eyes were empty and lifeless.

"Yu Lai... what happened to make you lose contact?"

"You must stay safe and sound."

Leng Yaozhu unconsciously gripped the windowsill tightly with her fingertips, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

With each passing second, her anxiety and fear deepened.

Just then, the exquisite soul-guided communicator on her wrist suddenly began to vibrate violently, and a name that haunted her dreams flashed on the screen.

My younger sister, Leng Yulai.

Leng Yaozhu's body trembled violently. Almost instantly, she connected the call, her voice trembling uncontrollably and tinged with a barely perceptible sob, devoid of her usual composure and authority: "Yu Lai? Is that you, Yu Lai! Where are you? How are you? Are you hurt? You...you scared me to death, if you...if you..."

She choked up and could barely continue, as if all her strength had completely collapsed the moment she confirmed her sister's safety.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communication line, followed by Leng Yulai's weak but soothing voice, which was less cold and more gentle than usual:

"Sister, it's me. I'm sorry for making you worry. I'm fine, I'm still alive."

"It's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive." Leng Yaozhu's tone was filled with immense joy at surviving the ordeal, but it was quickly replaced by deep worry. "Where are you? Are you badly hurt? Tell your sister where you are, I'll come pick you up right away. No, I'm leaving now, you stay where you are and don't move."

"Sister, don't panic, listen to me." Leng Yulai immediately said, "I was on my way back to Mingdu. My injuries were quite serious, but they're stable for now. I'll send you the exact coordinates. But more importantly, sister, I was ambushed."

"An ambush?" Leng Yaozhu's heart sank instantly, a cold glint flashing in her phoenix eyes. "Who dares?"

“It’s the Tang Sect,” Leng Yulai said decisively. “There’s also Yu Luohui from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, and even Cai Yue’er from Shrek Academy. Four Super Douluo have joined forces to ambush me. Their goal is clear: to kill me.”

"Tang Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Clear Sky Sect, and... Shrek Academy!"

Leng Yaozhu repeated herself slowly and deliberately, each word like an ice crystal squeezed out from between her teeth. The temperature in the office suddenly dropped to freezing point, and the invisible pressure made the air seem to freeze.

For the first time, an undisguised, almost ferocious, murderous intent appeared on her face.

"They...they have such audacity."

"At the last moment..." Leng Yulai's voice paused, tinged with a complex mix of confusion and uncertainty, "Someone saved me. That person... to be honest, I don't know what happened, but before I lost consciousness, I seemed to... I seemed to see... Lu Jun?"

"Lu Jun?" Leng Yaozhu was stunned, thinking she had misheard. "Who did you say? Lu Jun? That little guy is still in the academy, how could he suddenly run off to Maple Leaf City?"

“I know this is absurd,” Leng Yulai’s voice was also tinged with frustration, “but the residual ultimate ice within my body is exactly the same as his, only countless times more powerful. When I was unconscious, I seemed to still feel it…”

She seemed somewhat reluctant to speak.

"In short, it's very strange! I can't figure it out myself!"

Leng Yaozhu's brows furrowed tightly.

My sister's perception is never wrong.

Could it be that little guy...?

What earth-shattering secret is truly hidden?
"Never mind all that for now." Leng Yaozhu made a quick decision, suppressing the turmoil in her heart. "Send me your coordinates, stay in a safe place, and conceal your presence as much as possible. I'll set off immediately to pick you up in person. The Spirit Pagoda has already sent His Majesty the Underworld King and Ghost Flame to Maple Leaf City, but I'm still not at ease. I need to see you with my own eyes."

“As for Lu Jun…” Leng Yaozhu’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, “When we come back together, we’ll ask him properly.”

"Okay, sister."

Communication ends.

Without the slightest hesitation, Leng Yaozhu turned around abruptly, and a powerful aura erupted from her.

Her figure instantly transformed into a blazing streak of light, rushing out of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters and soaring into the sky, hurtling towards the coordinates provided by Leng Yulai at top speed.
