Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 290 Trends
Lin Xiao sensed an unfamiliar aura emanating from the person in front of her and was also trying to guess her identity.

It seems that it was the Thunder Douluo who spread the news of the Soul Master Competition, which attracted a lot of attention. The person in front of him should be the expert who entered Mingdu with other academies or sects.

The only powers capable of sending Title Douluos to gather information are probably the three great empires.

The fact that none of the released souls detected the aura of other experts reassured Lin Xiao somewhat.

"Since you have come from afar, if you are interested in Mingdu, why not spend half a gold soul coin to hire a guide to introduce the sights of Mingdu? It would be much more convenient than you wandering around aimlessly."

As Lin Xiao was speaking, a sudden gust of wind rose around him, and the figure came with the wind, arriving in front of Lin Xiao in the blink of an eye.

As he raised his palm to strike, his soul power surged forth.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, also refraining from releasing his martial spirit, and raised his palm to meet the attack. His soul power surged rapidly through his meridians, and something seemed to faintly emit a dark red light on his entire right arm.

"boom--"

With a muffled thud, Lin Xiao stood motionless, while the Title Douluo who had taken the initiative was sent flying backwards in an instant, his speed even faster than when he attacked.

"you--"

Her eyes were filled with astonishment. During her recent probing, she felt that Lin Xiao's cultivation was in no way inferior to hers, so why hadn't there been any prior reports about such a Title Douluo?
Looking at Lin Xiao, whose breathing was perfectly steady, a sense of unease suddenly rose in her heart.

"Since you wish to test my cultivation level, then please accept my palm strike."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of that Title Douluo.

He still didn't release his martial spirit; it looked like just an ordinary palm strike, but a strange fear arose in the eyes of that titled Douluo.

With a flick of his right hand, a seemingly enormous fan appeared in his hand, filled with swirling clouds and twinkling stars.

With a wave of his arm, a gust of wind arose, and the stars shone, their light completely obscuring Lin Xiao's senses.

Lin Xiao's right palm landed on the giant fan, yet it seemed to land in empty space. When he looked up, he saw the titled Douluo's figure flicker and disappear into the darkness.

Lin Xiao frowned as she stood there, but did not chase after them.

He already knew who that person was. Their martial spirit was called the Nebula Fan, and the newcomer should be the Nebula Douluo Manyi, whom the Star Luo Empire had been protecting for a long time.

It seems that the news here has caught Xu Jiujiu's attention.

but……

Thinking of this, he looked up at the direction of the palace and recalled his experience when he crossed the border. These experts hidden in Mingdu had probably already been discovered by the Sun Moon Empire.

On the top floor of the Mingyue Hotel, Xu Jiujiu was pacing back and forth in his room with a frown when suddenly, he heard heavy breathing coming from outside the door.

"Grandma Manyi!" Xu Jiujiu called out softly and hurriedly went to open the door.

"Grandma Manyi, what's wrong?" Seeing the large beads of sweat on Nebula Douluo's forehead, Xu Jiujiu hurriedly helped her sit down to the side.

"Your Highness, the attack on Mingdu needs to be reconsidered." With a long sigh, Nebula Douluo's words caused Xu Jiujiu's expression to change slightly.

"Grandma Manyi, what happened to you just now?" Xu Jiujiu quickly guessed what was going on.

"The waters of Mingdu are deeper than we anticipated." Nebula Douluo shook his head slightly, seemingly lost in thought. "Our information wasn't accurate. Just now, I encountered a Title Douluo I'd never heard of before."

As Nebula Douluo spoke, he lifted his cloak, revealing that the skin on his right hand had turned an extremely eerie grayish-white color.

“His strength is above mine, and his abilities are quite strange. I only took one of his palm strikes, and I ended up like this.”

Her gaze lingered on Nebula Douluo's arm for a long time, her expression growing even more grim. Although she didn't quite understand what had happened to Nebula Douluo, for a level 93 Title Douluo to suffer such damage, the opponent's strength must be considerable.

Over the past few years, she had been constantly inquiring about the Sun Moon Empire, but after entering Mingdu, she realized that she still knew too little about it.

After a long silence, Xu Jiu shook his head. "No, if we don't do something now, it will really be too late."

Seeing this, Nebula Douluo also stood up. "Your Highness, we can only contact His Majesty to send a few more experts over."

At this point, Xu Jiujiu's expression darkened further. "Grandma Manyi, since we entered Mingdu, all the people we sent out have vanished without a trace, as if they'd disappeared into thin air. I'm afraid..."

The room fell silent for a moment. After a long while, Nebula Douluo finally spoke up to comfort her, "Since we can't get the message out, His Majesty will definitely take some action. Your Highness need not worry."

“That’s all we can do.” Xu Jiujiu nodded, walked to the side and sat down. Soon, she raised her head slightly. “No, we can’t just wait like this. Grandma Manyi, please accompany me somewhere.”

"it is good."

Meanwhile, in the palace, some people were still awake.

One message after another was sent into Xu Tianran's study. Ju Zi was sitting to the side, her eyes scanning the messages coming from all directions.

"How's it going?"

Behind the desk, Xu Tianran sat in his wheelchair and slightly raised his head.

"Your Highness, according to reports from the border and the various Soul Master Corps around Mingdu, several Title Douluo-level experts have entered the territory of the Sun Moon Empire."

"Including those who accompanied the contestants to the Elite Tournament into Mingdu, there are at least ten Title Douluos currently inside Mingdu."

"Among them, there are probably also super Douluo of Shrek Academy and Body Sect who are above level 95."

“Alright.” Xu Tianran was pleased rather than surprised. “Let them come. Send the word that all the surrounding Soul Master Corps must work day and night without any relaxation. No matter who they are, they are only allowed to enter, not leave.”

"Hmph, as long as we can keep these experts here, the opponents our army will face will only get weaker... What about the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"The Holy Spirit Church is keeping an eye on all the teams participating in the competition, and so far no team has left."

"Not bad." Xu Tianran nodded slightly. "How about the Mingdou Mountains?"

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi's expression changed slightly. "The trap for Duke White Tiger has been set. Once the uprising begins in Mingdu, the Mingdou Mountains can act simultaneously."

"It's just a pity that I can't let you take revenge yourself." Xu Tianran sighed softly and waved to call Ju Zi to his side.

"I understand Your Highness's good intentions, and I will certainly not ruin my important affairs for my own selfish desires."
