Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 247 The Four War Gods, the Star Luo Envoy, and Leng Yaozhu's Care!

"Hehehe, I'm just telling the truth," the Ninth God of War chuckled, speaking with a hint of teasing.

"Jiang Zhanheng, I'm going to beat you up."

The goddess of war's azure eyes turned cold, and she clenched her right hand suddenly. In the instant the air exploded, a red light suddenly spread, and then a two-meter-long dark red giant hammer appeared in her hand.

The appearance of this giant hammer added an even more domineering aura to her already valiant appearance.

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Zhanheng seemed to remember something, and a chill ran down his spine. He quickly hid behind Hao Ri Douluo Ao Rui and begged for mercy, "Sister Meng Shan, I was wrong, I will never talk nonsense again."

Ao Rui, dressed in a golden robe, first glared at Jiang Zhanheng, then advised, "Meng Shan, this is Shrek City. We still have a mission to complete. Once we return to the Temple of War, you can teach Old Nine whatever you want."

"Well, listen to the boss."

The Goddess of War glanced at Jiang Zhanheng, who was still bowing three times to her with his hands clasped in prayer, and after a moment's thought, slowly withdrew her hands.

This female war goddess is none other than Shi Mengshan, whose title is Begonia Douluo. Her martial soul is extremely unique, being a plant-type martial soul called Nine Heart Begonia.

But this Nine-Heart Begonia is not the same as that Nine-Heart Begonia.

Shi Mengshan's Nine Heart Begonia is a martial soul with a highly poisonous attribute, unlike the healing martial soul of the Ye family 20,000 years ago.

Seeing that Shi Mengshan had put away the giant hammer, Ao Rui pulled Jiang Zhanheng, who was hiding behind him, out. To be honest, he was also afraid that Jiang Zhanheng would be beaten into three pieces by Shi Mengshan.

Although Shi Mengshan's Nine Heart Begonia belongs to the control-type Soul Master category, Shi Mengshan has been determined to become a battle Soul Master since childhood. Therefore, through her journey, her combat power is in no way inferior to ordinary battle Soul Masters of the same level.

The giant hammer from before was part of his three-word battle armor.

"But Mengshan is indeed of marriageable age, and it's time to make arrangements for her..." Ao Rui rubbed his chin, thinking to himself.

Because she wanted to become a Soul Master, Shi Mengshan focused on training her body from a young age. Her tall stature of over two meters, coupled with her muscular build, made her stand out even among a group of male War Gods.

As far as he knew, Shi Mengshan seemed to have never been confessed to, and she herself had always been focused on becoming stronger.

"I wonder who will win in the end..."

Ao Rui pondered silently in his heart.

It should be noted that the ranking of the eighteen War Gods in the War God Hall is entirely based on combat strength. Shi Mengshan's ability to maintain her position as the seventh War God is enough to demonstrate her extraordinary combat strength.

"Boss Haori, are those the only two missions we have this time?" At this moment, Gluttonous Douluo, who was standing to the side, asked.

Upon hearing this, Ao Rui composed himself and slowly said, "That's right, it's those two."

They were sent to Shrek City by Chen Xinjie, the main master of the Temple of War, with only two missions: one was to support an upcoming great battle, and the other was to secretly investigate the hidden powerhouse of the Body Sect.

For this reason, Chen Xinjie specially mobilized the four War Gods of the War God Temple, with the leader being none other than himself, the first War God of the War God Temple—Haori Douluo Ao Rui.

"That's really strange. Why does it feel like Hall Master Chen is targeting the Body Sect?" Jiang Zhanheng murmured thoughtfully, thinking about the implications of these two missions.

Ao Rui glanced at him, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity, "Our mission in the War God Temple is to protect the Federation and follow the Temple Master's arrangements. Since Temple Master Chen has made such arrangements, he must have his reasons."

"Hehe, I was just saying." Jiang Zhanheng scratched his head and smiled. "In the entire Federation, who doesn't know that Palace Master Chen is selfless? He did this for the good of the Federation, not for his own personal matters."

Shi Mengshan's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything more.

"That's true, but sending out the few of us will definitely weaken the defenses protecting the God-Slaying Fixed-Position Soul Guidance Cannonballs," said Gluttonous Douluo, taking out an egg and stuffing it into his mouth.

Even if someone temporarily fills this gap, their strength certainly won't be stronger than the rest of them.

"Fourteenth Brother, you're just worrying unnecessarily. Do you think anyone would dare to target our precious gems?" Jiang Zhanheng shrugged, somewhat dismissively.

Gluttony Douluo nodded slightly: "I hope so..."

"Alright, that's enough." At this moment, Ao Rui interrupted him, "Our current mission is the Body Sect, the rest is not our concern."

"Besides, even if those few God-Slaying level fixed-mounted soul-guided cannons malfunction, it won't affect us. Don't forget where we are..."

As he spoke, Ao Rui pointed to the large characters on the city wall directly in front of them: Shrek City.

"Yes, Shrek City is known as the safest city on the entire continent."

Jiang Zhanheng laughed heartily, then put his arm around Gluttony Douluo's neck and looked at Ao Rui with a smile, "Boss, let's go, let's go into the city!"

"I've been wanting to try Oscar sausage and Yuhao grilled fish for a long time, and this is the perfect opportunity to do so." Gluttonous Douluo patted his stomach, and then followed Ao Rui and Jiang Zhanheng into Shrek City.

And the first rays of dawn shone precisely on this ancient city wall...

……

Noumenon Sect, inside Jiang Xiu's house.

"Aunt Leng, thank you so much this time." Jiang Xiu picked up the tea he had just brewed, placed it in front of Leng Yaozhu, and expressed his gratitude.

Whether it was provoking Yuanen Tiandang earlier or arranging accommodations for the Yuanen family, Leng Yaozhu had put in a lot of effort.

"Just a verbal thank you?" Leng Yaozhu picked up her teacup, took a sip, her red lips gleaming, and a smile played on her lips. Jiang Xiu coughed a few times and touched his nose. After all, not only him, but the entire Body Sect had received too much help from Leng Yaozhu.

Although he knew Leng Yaozhu was just teasing him, he really didn't know how to repay this kindness.

After all, he has not yet helped Leng Yaozhu, and his master is also accumulating strength and has been in seclusion.

However, one thing is certain: according to his principles, he will repay even the smallest kindness tenfold in the future.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiu seemed to remember something and asked softly, "Aunt Leng, the next Star Luo delegation is almost here, isn't it..."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu slowly put down her teacup and said, "It will be soon, not long from now."

Although the Star Luo Empire is located on the Star Luo Continent, after recognizing the Federation's strength, it sends envoys to the Federation every few years to exchange ideas and ease tensions between the two sides.

Because of the existence of the Abyss Plane, the Federation would naturally not refuse such exchanges. Therefore, after each visit by the Star Luo Envoy, they would also bring people to return the visit with the Star Luo Envoy.

But while the return visit was a return visit, it was also necessary to flex muscles, which included various academies going to the Star Luo Empire for competitions...

"What's wrong, Xiaoxiu? Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Leng Yaozhu asked curiously.

“Shrek Academy will be participating in this return visit, heading to the Star Luo Empire to participate in the Continental Elite Academy Tournament. I will be there and give you, Aunt Leng, a big gift as a token of my gratitude,” Jiang Xiu said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu felt a slight stirring in her heart. The Star Luo Empire, which Jiang Xiu was heading to, was precisely the place she found most difficult to conquer in the Spirit Pagoda.

I never expected that Jiang Xiu would remember what she said so casually last time...

"Oh? What a wonderful gift?" Leng Yaozhu composed herself, crossed her long, slender legs, leaned slightly forward, exuding a delicate fragrance, and teased playfully:

"Could it be that you, Xiao Xiu, can help Aunt Leng get rid of that Netherflame Douluo Zhang Geyang?"

"Maybe," Jiang Xiu replied with a smile as he poured himself a cup of tea.

With his status as the Child of Nature, Zhang Geyang's greatest trump card, the Thunderous Prison Vine, is useless to him, and may even become a deadly move that he can use to restrain Zhang Geyang.

"Alright, Aunt Leng knows you're very capable, Xiao Xiu."

Leng Yaozhu felt a warmth in her heart and gently patted Jiang Xiu's head with a smile, "But Aunt Leng doesn't want you to do such dangerous things. You just need to grow up quickly with Na'er."

Leng Yaozhu took it as Jiang Xiu's youthful impetuosity, after all, Jiang Xiu was only thirteen years old.

She did not refuse, knowing that youthful spirit was irreplaceable and she did not want to discourage Jiang Xiu.

Although the Netherflame Douluo Zhang Geyang is weaker than her, he still possesses the strength of a level 98 Super Douluo and even has a top-tier soul spirit, making him no easy opponent.

Jiang Xiu smiled without saying a word. There was no need to talk about things that hadn't been accomplished yet; the facts would prove everything in due time.

When he arrived in Xingluo, he only did three things: borrow the Vajra Bracelet, borrow the Thunderous Hell Vine, and borrow the Dragon Valley...

"By the way, Aunt Leng, tomorrow I'm going to challenge the Soul Spirit Tower with Yuanen to help her obtain her second Soul Spirit. Since Senior Zhentian doesn't want Yuanen to know the truth yet, I'll need your stewards' cooperation tomorrow to avoid being exposed."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Jiang Xiu got up and poured Leng Yaozhu another cup of tea, saying with a smile.

“No problem,” Leng Yaozhu gave Jiang Xiu a deep look, casually agreed, and then said, “Xiao Xiu, the blond kid that Yuan Entian mentioned earlier, it shouldn’t be you, right?”

"Ahem, that shouldn't be it, I don't have blond hair." Jiang Xiu coughed twice and pointed to his hair color.

Xiao Xiu is truly a master of feigning ignorance, Leng Yaozhu smiled inwardly, then couldn't help but sigh.

"I never imagined that Xiao Xiu would be surrounded by so many talented young girls..."

Right now, I bet Na'er is still showing off her oranges...

"Xiao Xiu, spend more time with Na'er and let her learn more about mecha design theory," Leng Yaozhu said.

Na'er, a young girl, didn't do very well in mecha design...

“No problem.” Jiang Xiu agreed without hesitation.

Of course, he didn't have any firm ideas. If you push Na'er too far, she'll do anything.

But if you pull out a book like "Three Years of Mecha Simulation, Five Years of Mecha Design" at this point, Na'er will naturally stop rushing.

"Alright, I still have things to do at the Spirit Pagoda, so I'll be leaving now." After chatting for a while, Leng Yaozhu slowly stood up and said.

Jiang Xiu also got up, preparing to see Leng Yaozhu off.

"By the way, Xiaoxiu, your master is probably about to emerge from seclusion."

Suddenly, Leng Yaozhu stopped in her tracks, turned around, and said.

"We're about to leave the pass..." Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's purple eyes suddenly deepened.

His master's emergence from seclusion meant that the battle he had agreed upon with Yun Ming was about to begin...
