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

Chapter 422 Rebellion against Tiangang
Just as Leng Yaozhu confirmed that Lu Jun was safe and sound, her heart filled with a mixture of fear and anger, Dong Zian and Atai finally arrived at the scene, accompanied by heavy footsteps and the hum of the mecha's thrusters.

They immediately saw the two Title Douluos in Leng Yaozhu's hands, burning like dead dogs with the Heavenly Phoenix True Fire, barely clinging to life, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Dong Zian stepped forward:
"Your Majesty, I'm so glad you're alright. It's good that these two are alive. Leave the interrogation and soul search to me. I'll make sure we dig out everything they know."

Leng Yaozhu nodded, her anger subsiding and regaining her composure.

With a wave of her hand, she tossed the two dying Title Douluos onto the ground in front of Dong Zi'an like trash:

Atai's huge hand grabbed the two of them.

"Your Majesty, Tianfeng." Dong Zian spoke up at the right moment, breaking the slightly heavy atmosphere. His tone was filled with sincere admiration. "Leave the work of searching for the remaining enemy, interrogating intelligence, and stabilizing the situation to us. This time, it was truly thanks to your efforts in turning the tide. Otherwise, if that level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell had really exploded, the consequences would have been unimaginable... Atai and I cannot guarantee that we could have done better than you."

"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you." Leng Yaozhu composed herself and nodded to Dong Zi'an and Atai.

Watching Dong Zian and Atai lead the prisoners and their men to busily clean up the scene, treat the wounded, and set up a perimeter, Leng Yaozhu breathed a long sigh of relief, her tense nerves finally relaxing.

At this moment, Lu Jun looked at Leng Yaozhu, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable seriousness, and said:

“Teacher, after this incident, I hope you can remember this lesson and not hold the idea that ‘the other party will be wary of you because of your status’ again, so as not to make wrong judgments and decisions.”

He paused, then continued to instruct:

"No matter what situation you face or where you are, I hope you will always maintain the utmost caution and vigilance. Arrogance and negligence are often the beginning of failure."

Lu Jun could completely understand Leng Yaozhu's mindset.

As the head of the prestigious Leng family and the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, she holds a high position and handles major decisions that influence the continent's landscape. Maintaining a certain degree of dignity and arrogance is necessary for her to establish authority and intimidate all sides.

However, when leaving the familiar center of power and stepping into the outside world, especially dangerous places fraught with danger, if this mentality is still brought into the process, and one relies too much on the deterrent power brought by one's status, it can easily become a fatal weakness.

Especially considering the potential future conflicts involving various planes and hidden god-level powerhouses, if this weakness in his character cannot be overcome, he will suffer a great loss sooner or later.

It's actually a good thing that we can learn from this near-miss attack and correct our mistakes in time.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's delicate body trembled slightly, and a deep sense of reflection and shame appeared on her face.

She nodded very solemnly to Lu Jun:
“You’re right, Mr. Lu. This time, I was indeed careless and almost caused a disaster. My arrogance and presumptions nearly harmed you… I apologize to you.”

She paused, a complex, bitter smile appearing on her face, and said softly:

"At the same time, I also feel ashamed. As a teacher, I should be the one teaching and protecting you, but now I have to be reminded and educated by you instead... I am really not qualified to be a teacher."

Lu Jun nodded inwardly, and seeing that Leng Yaozhu had taken his words to heart, he said no more.

Click till.

Leng Yaozhu said, "We can't stay here anymore. Let's tidy up a bit and have the hotel arrange another room."

"Get a good rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, your teacher will accompany you to the place guided by your martial spirit to help you find opportunities and complete your cultivation."

"Okay, teacher." Lu Jun nodded in agreement.

Thanks to the receptionist who had been rescued by Leng Yaozhu, who was extremely grateful and made attentive arrangements, they were quickly moved to another intact and equally luxurious suite.

As for why there were vacant rooms, that was naturally thanks to Dong Zi'an. This commander of the Western Legion was swift and decisive. Upon arrival, he immediately took over the command of the garrison in the far north city. Relying on the fragmented memories extracted from the prisoners' minds, he launched a large-scale manhunt throughout the city with an iron fist, and in a short time, he uncovered many lurking members of the Green Skull organization.

The far northern city instantly entered a state of high alert.

During the subsequent soul search and interrogation, Dong Zian obtained information that sent chills down his spine.

The purpose of the Green Skull Organization's operation this time was actually to use the far northern city as a springboard for a large-scale invasion of the Douluo Continent!
He dared not delay and immediately encrypted this crucial intelligence before reporting it to the Federal Parliament headquarters with the highest priority.

Even Dong Zi'an himself was shocked by this information and broke out in a cold sweat.

When did the Green Skull organization become so rampant and powerful?
How dare they openly plan an invasion of the powerful Sun-Moon Federation?

What exactly are they relying on?
Dong Zian also shared this news with Leng Yaozhu.

After reading the intelligence, Leng Yaozhu and Lu Jun, who was standing next to her, both became extremely solemn.

Lu Jun couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart:
"Di Yue always said I was lucky... What exactly is so lucky about me? I'm practically a walking disaster! Wherever I go, a huge crisis erupts!"

That night, the northernmost city was destined to be anything but peaceful.

Dong Zi'an led his team to search everywhere, but the operation was unusually unsuccessful.

Based on the confessions, they rushed to one ambush site after another, only to find that most of them had already been deserted, leaving only some scattered traces that could not be destroyed in time.

"It seems they reacted extremely quickly; their main force has already withdrawn..."

Dong Zian concluded with a gloomy expression.

According to current intelligence, there are at least several dozen Soul Masters among the Green Skull members lurking in the far northern city!

Moreover, the origin of that powerful level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is a mystery, which makes them feel uneasy.

The large-scale search and cleanup operation continued until the early hours of the following day.

When Lu Jun and Leng Yaozhu left the room, the tense atmosphere in the city had not completely dissipated.

Looking out the window at the streets under martial law, Lu Jun felt a pang of regret.

After last night's chaos, his plan to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of Xiaobai, the Ice Bear King that Xue Di cared about, was completely ruined.

He gathered his thoughts, turned to Leng Yaozhu, and asked, seemingly out of curiosity:

"Teacher, I have a question. The defenses of the Far North City don't seem particularly strong, so why did the Green Skull organization choose it as a springboard for their invasion?"

Leng Yaozhu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then patiently supplemented Lu Jun's knowledge about the far north:

"This is because the environment in the far north is extremely harsh. Moreover, it is said that ten thousand years ago, a powerful artifact fell from the sky and struck the core area of ​​the far north, causing the average temperature of the entire Douluo Star to drop significantly."

"This also makes the environment in the far north even more frigid and unbearable, with extremely harsh living conditions, which means that no one on the mainland is willing to settle and develop here."
