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

A fierce glint flashed in Xu Tiandi's eyes as he thought of the Poseidon Legion, the Federation's strongest navy, which was built by Chen Xinjie and was loyal to the Federation but also had close ties with the Poseidon family.

"Send an order to the military headquarters to use a troop rotation exercise as a pretext to move the Poseidon Legion away from its current garrison area and encircle it."

"All mid- to high-ranking military officers will be temporarily relieved of their duties and placed under investigation. Any resistance will be considered treason and they will be executed on the spot."

He must nip all potential risks in the bud.

We must not allow Tang San's power to take root and grow within the Federation through the Sea God family!
"in addition……"

Xu Tiandi spoke again into the empty office, his voice as cold as ice:
"To convey the Federation's highest directive to Chen Xinjie, who has not yet been found, and to all members of the Sea God family who are under control: the entire Sea God family is now under the absolute control of the Federation. We hope that Palace Master Chen will prioritize the interests of the Federation, repent, and voluntarily come forward to confess. Do not make a mistake that will disappoint the Federation and the general public."

A deep reply came again from the shadows:

"Yes."

Emperor Xu paused briefly before making his final personnel appointment:
"Effective immediately, Chen Xinjie is hereby removed from his position as Hall Master of the War God Hall. The Vice Hall Master, Yue Tian Douluo Guan Yue, will temporarily assume the duties of Hall Master and be fully responsible for the daily operation of the War God Hall and the investigation of this incident."

"The order shall be immediately transmitted to the Temple of War and all departments of the Federation."

"clear."

The shadow guard's presence completely vanished, and the office returned to deathly silence.

Despite the series of swift and decisive orders being issued, the solemn expression on Emperor Xu's face did not dissipate in the slightest.

He leaned back in his chair, rubbing his throbbing temples, his gaze drifting through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows to the vast expanse of land beyond Mingdu.

Chen Xinjie's loss of control acted as a fuse, igniting the long-suppressed unease in his heart.

The Tang Sect's conspiracy, Shrek Academy's hidden dangers, the threat of the Abyss...

All of this is interwoven into a huge and dangerous web.

He felt as if he were walking a tightrope; one wrong step and he would be doomed.

"A troubled autumn..."

A long, heavy sigh echoed slowly in the empty Speaker's office.

……

In stark contrast to the turbulent and tense atmosphere at the federal high command, Leng Yaozhu's home was a scene of peace, or rather, a warm and harmonious chaos.

Inside the hall, on the soft carpet, several stunningly beautiful women, each with their own unique style, sat or lay down.

Their gazes, more or less tinged with envy, were focused on the stunning beauty with silver hair and purple eyes in the center.

Gu Yuena already possessed the most beautiful face in the Douluo Continent, and now, having regained her original adult form, she had gained even more charm and poise on top of her flawless appearance.

It was a unique charm that came from the accumulation of time, the mastery of power, and the confidence and composure, like a ripe peach, exuding an alluring fragrance, which made Leng Yaozhu, Leng Yulai, and even the two emperors of ice and snow sigh in admiration.

Even Gu Yuena herself seemed to enjoy the attention brought by this change. She leaned lazily against the sofa, a faint smile on her lips, and began to share a surprising discovery with her sisters.

"Speaking of which, you may not know this," Gu Yuena's voice was ethereal and melodious, with a hint of mystery, "Lu Jun's source power is very special."

"For us, if we could gain their assistance, the improvement in our strength would be... terrifying." She paused, a hint of barely perceptible shyness flashing in her purple eyes, but more so, an undeniable excitement:

"Even I wasn't entirely confident about fusing the origins of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King to restore the glory of the Dragon God; in fact, I could say the hope was slim."

"But... after receiving nourishment from Lu Jun's power, I clearly felt that the solid barrier seemed to be loosening!"

"Moreover, it seems that the more of that power I have, the more it helps me balance the two completely opposite dragon forces, greatly increasing the chances of ultimate success!"

Her gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai:

"Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Lu Jun is a treasure from head to toe. Even you, Teacher, didn't your martial soul evolve to the level of ultimate fire with his help?"

She then looked at Leng Yulai, her tone carrying a hint of encouragement and teasing.

“Yu Lai, you need to step up your game too. If you can… well, have a deeper conversation with Lu Jun, maybe you can break through your stagnant cultivation to the Limit Douluo level, and you might even have a chance to touch the realm of the Ultimate Flame.”

Upon hearing this, Leng Yulai's face immediately showed a deep sense of resentment. She pouted and glared at Gu Yuena with a mournful expression:
"I'd love to, but look at these past few days... Lu Jun has been inseparable from you, hasn't he? How could I possibly have a chance?"

"Cough, cough, cough."

Gu Yuena's pretty face flushed instantly, like a ripe apple. Her eyes darted away, avoiding eye contact with anyone else, and she stammered in defense:

"Well... um... okay, I admit it. But from now on, Lu Jun won't have much free time."

She quickly changed the subject, glancing at Hyotei and Yuki-tei who were listening quietly to her:
"He's going to learn the technique of forging three-word battle armor from Gu Chenyu, and he'll also personally design and forge exclusive battle armor for the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor."

"Once you put on the custom-made battle armor, I believe your strength will also improve by leaps and bounds."

Upon hearing about matters concerning their own improvement, both Hyotei and Yuki-tei showed obvious anticipation in their eyes, temporarily putting aside the embarrassing topic from before.

However, Leng Yulai's resentment did not dissipate, and she continued in that enticing tone:

"Well, that's it! Lu Jun doesn't have time to help anymore, he's going to learn some forging... What am I supposed to do?"

"Is my ultimate flame going to be so far away?"

Sitting next to her, Leng Yaozhu couldn't stand it any longer. She rolled her eyes, poked her sister's forehead with her slender finger, and scolded:

"You're in such a hurry, aren't you? You have no restraint at all. The path of cultivation is long, what's the rush?"

"Of course you're not in a hurry, sister!"

Leng Yulai retorted with a sour tone.

"You went to the far north with Lu Jun before, enjoying the scenery and fighting side by side. How romantic! You even improved your cultivation! And what about me? I can only wait idly in the Spirit Pagoda!"

"You! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Leng Yaozhu's pretty face turned bright red instantly from her sister's words, all the way to her ears. A touch of girlish embarrassment and annoyance appeared in her mature and intellectual charm. She reached out in a fit of exasperation and used her knuckles to dig hard into Leng Yulai's temples.

"I didn't...I didn't...with Lu Jun...that! Don't talk nonsense!" (End of Chapter)
