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

Chapter 291 Something's Going On with the Yuanen Family

However, the feeling was so slight that it was almost like an illusion, and the highly tense nerves of the Title Douluo did not even recognize it as a threat signal.

His attention was completely focused on Lu Jun below, who seemed unchanged. The other man was still looking down, maintaining that sickly posture, slowly walking past the store and turning into another street, his figure gradually blending into the crowd.

"call……"

The Title Douluo's nerves, which had been stretched to their limit, suddenly relaxed, and a feeling of exhaustion from surviving a disaster surged up, causing his fingers, which were gripping the short blade, to tremble slightly.

He silently exhaled a breath of stale air, a barely perceptible hint of lingering fear flashing in his icy eyes.

"It really was just a coincidence... This kid is fucking weird!"

He cursed inwardly. That brief eye contact and closeness had brought him unprecedented pressure, as if he were being stared at by some primordial beast.

He made a quick decision:

"No, we can't afford any more complications. The mission takes priority. We must immediately send the intelligence that the target's abnormal status suggests a possible trap back to headquarters. We can't stay here any longer."

The assassin's instincts made him abandon any thoughts of probing or tracking.

He gave a final, wary look around, making sure there was no residual energy or prying eyes. His figure, like an ink painting blending into the shadows, silently slid down from the corner of the roof, disappearing completely from Mingdu in a few flashes, at an astonishing speed.

He was completely unaware that a warm-to-the-touch, antique token made of neither gold nor jade, with intricate and mysterious patterns engraved on its surface, had appeared in the pocket of his close-fitting leather armor.

……

The moment the titled Douluo's figure disappeared, on the street, Lu Jun, who had just walked a hundred meters away and was still weakly leaning against the trunk of a sycamore tree, curled up a barely perceptible smile.

As if a heavy shackle had been removed, his previously hunched back straightened instantly, like a drawn sword.

The sickly pallor on her face receded like the tide, replaced by a healthy, radiant glow.

Those downcast eyes lifted, and in those deep pupils, there was no trace of confusion or weakness left.
Sharp as the stars, insightful as the abyss, with an air of complete control.

"We've achieved our goal."

"I didn't expect to catch such a big fish so easily. Consider it a return gift to the Tang Clan."

He stretched lazily, his bones cracking and popping with a series of clear, melodious sounds, as if a sleeping dragon were awakening.

As for Han Tianyi, one of the three deputy tower masters of the Spirit Pagoda, he could only let it go since the old man was targeting him like this.

He didn't have time to mess with the old man, or rather, if he really acted impulsively, it might backfire and that would be ridiculous.

Although he is still in the body of a twelve-year-old, he has already lived two lives and is long past the age of acting impulsively and hot-bloodedly.

All I can say is, let's see if there's a chance to talk about it later.

"Huh...done."

Lu Jun muttered to himself, his tone as relaxed as if he had just finished an insignificant game.

"Now that the token has been delivered, what's next..."

He stroked his chin, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Just wait and see the show. Spreading rumors about me? Tsk, I, Lu, am the most magnanimous person. Giving a small gift is not excessive at all."

The expression on his face that said "I'm very magnanimous" actually betrayed a sly and mischievous glint in his eyes.

However, this leisure did not last long.

Just as Lu Jun was about to take a step and continue his leisurely stroll like a true carefree young man, a familiar feeling, extremely faint yet carrying a strong prayer and chaotic spatial fluctuations, suddenly rippled through his sea of ​​consciousness like a pebble thrown into a lake.

Lu Jun sensed that the source pointed directly to the Yuanen family.

"Ok?"

Lu Jun abruptly stopped, his relaxed expression freezing instantly, his brows furrowing slightly.

He clearly sensed that the offering marks from Yuanen Zhentian and Yuanen Tiandang were transmitting a fluctuation mixed with awe, urgency, and a hint of unease. "The Yuanen family?" Lu Jun's eyes narrowed, and several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. "This fluctuation... something's happened? Or has the situation changed?"

He quickly scanned his surroundings.

On the bustling main road, amidst the endless stream of people, countless curious, admiring, and even eager-to-greet gazes were focused on him.

This is definitely not a good place for spatial travel.

"Tsk, trouble."

Lu Jun clicked his tongue. Time was of the essence, and he didn't want to perform a magic trick in front of everyone; that would be too much of a spectacle.

Lu Jun's gaze flashed like lightning, instantly locking onto the magnificent and bustling giant Soul Guidance Mall next door.

"I've got it!" His eyes lit up. "The most dangerous place is the safest place. The mall's restrooms... the perfect teleportation point."

Without hesitation, Lu Jun instantly abandoned his disguise as a sickly young man. With a swift movement, he shot through the mall's massive revolving glass doors at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye, heading straight for the restrooms marked on the floor plan.

Wow! It's Lu Jun!

"He runs so fast!"

"He was just looking sickly, how did he suddenly..."

"Oh dear, judging from the direction he's rushing... he's going to the toilet, isn't he?"

"Pfft, I understand, geniuses are human too, and everyone has to go to the bathroom!"

"Go, go, don't disturb them while they're dealing with their 'important matter'..."

The passersby who recognized him exclaimed in surprise at first, but when they saw him rushing to the restroom in such a hurry, they all showed knowing and kind smiles. The idea of ​​surrounding him for autographs or photos was instantly abandoned. They consciously made way and tacitly stopped following and disturbing him.

After all, even the most brilliant genius has to abide by the laws of physiology, right?

……

Mingdu, a giant Soul Guide Mall, VIP restroom on the top floor.

Lu Jun slipped into a cubicle, locked it behind him, and did so in one smooth motion.

In the confined space, all the expressions on his face vanished instantly, leaving only pure focus and divine indifference.

He closed his eyes.

The next moment, an invisible yet vast and boundless divine thought, like a beam of light traversing endless galaxies, disregarded the distance of space and the barriers of matter, and descended instantly following the guidance of the offering mark.

……

The Yuanen family, in the core forbidden area, enshrines a temple.

The solemn atmosphere almost solidified.

Incense smoke curled in front of a token.

Yuan Enzhen and his son Yuan Entian were kneeling on the ground with solemn expressions, their foreheads pressed against the cold jade floor, their bodies trembling slightly from excitement and some kind of pressure.

The defensive array surrounding the temple glowed, yet it faintly revealed an unstable fluctuation, and a faint sense of anxiety permeated the air.

This is the place where the sea god Tang San was originally worshipped.

Now it has become a place of worship for that unknown minor deity.

Thinking about this, they still didn't know the other god's name or divine position...

Suddenly, without warning, ripples like water spread across the space in front of the father and son.

The light and shadow around the token distorted and folded, revealing a tall, slender figure dressed in white, as if stepping out of a painting or descending from the heavens, solidly manifesting without any trace of human presence.
