Douluo Continent: Become stronger by stealing Tang San's luck

Tang Lan and his entourage had not gone far when they were stopped by a group of soldiers from the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The leading soldier rode his horse around the carriage for a long time before speaking to urge it on.

"Go, you lot, lift up the carriage curtains. I want to see who's inside, acting so high and mighty!"

Seeing that Tang Lan and the others did not react, the soldier captain became annoyed and gave an order.

Then, six soldiers went to the three carriages and tried to lift the curtains.

"Hmph, open your dog eyes and see what this is!"

However, the next moment, Ma Xiaotao's cold snort came from inside the carriage.

Tang Lan turned her head and saw Ma Xiaotao take out a token from her ring. The token had a lotus-like pattern on it and was made of pure gold.

The sergeant took it and glanced at it casually, seemingly not paying any attention. But a few breaths later, the man tumbled off his horse with a thud.

He then scrambled to Tang Lan's carriage, knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "I didn't know you were here, sir! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness! Please spare my life, sir!"

Tang Lan peered through the crack in the window and could clearly see that the soldier's crotch was already wet.

After seeing the token clearly, this guy was so scared that he wet his pants.

Even so, the other side dared not make the slightest move.

Seeing his men standing there bewildered, the captain cursed, "You bunch of fools, get over here and kneel down! Do you want to implicate your own people?"

Upon hearing this, the ordinary soldiers were terrified and immediately knelt on the ground, burying their heads in the ground and not daring to lift them.

"Let's get out of here. You'll escort us safely through this area. We're heading to Qingshan Town to stay for the time being!"

Ma Xiaotao sighed softly, which was considered a forgiveness for these people's sins.

"Little man obeys!"

The soldier respectfully handed the gold medal to the coachman, who then passed it on to Ma Xiaotao.

Then this man mounted a fast horse and led his men at breakneck speed ahead, shouting as he went: "The Grand Preceptor is here! Everyone make way! Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

His voice echoed again and again across this desolate land.

The soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Soul Empire could only stand respectfully on both sides of the road, not even daring to look up at the carriage.

The Heavenly Soul Empire has clear rules regarding status; insubordination is a serious crime, let alone offending a powerful figure like the Imperial Preceptor, who is second only to the emperor.

Everyone knows that the honorary national teacher of the Heavenly Soul Empire is Mu En, the current head of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy.

It was the title of Imperial Preceptor of Destiny specially bestowed upon him by the previous emperor to express his gratitude for Mu En's kindness, and he also specially commissioned the creation of three exclusive golden tokens for the Imperial Preceptor.

He then proclaimed to the world that anyone who saw the Imperial Preceptor Jin Ling was as if they were seeing the Emperor, and that the three armies could be mobilized to execute him first and report later.

It can be said that almost everyone in the entire Heavenly Soul Empire knows that the Imperial Preceptor is a high-ranking member of Shrek Academy.

This time, it should also be a special trip to the imperial city of the Heavenly Soul Empire, for which all soldiers are required to give way to them and fulfill their escort duties.

But after leaving the desolate place, Ma Xiaotao sent these people back.

By the time the group arrived in Qingshan Town, the sun had already set, with only a faint red glow illuminating the horizon.

But the town here is extremely lively. If Tang Lan didn't know it was a town, looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going, she would have thought it was a small city.

The reason why Qingshan Town is so lively is ultimately due to the barren land.

As we all know, the Wasteland is a strategic location. Whether it is the Douling Empire or the Tianhun Empire, as long as they occupy the Wasteland, then the land opposite them will be flat and open.

Both sides were able to advance dozens of miles a day, thus gaining the upper hand in the battle.

Therefore, the Heavenly Soul Empire focused on building Green Mountain Town less than thirty miles behind the desolate land.

Although it is called a town, the scale of its buildings is indeed comparable to that of a small city.

Not only are there a large number of troops stationed around it, but it is also a logistical supply base for the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Besides the soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Empire, there was also a group of bounty hunters here. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 917 The Arrival of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion

They usually take on various missions, including hunting spirit beasts, escorting important figures, or transporting grain convoys.

As a result, the area attracted many merchants, and over time it became a prosperous place.

"This is it, Twilight Inn!"

"This name is really fitting. We arrived just as dusk was falling. Tang Lan, how about we stay here?"

Ma Xiaotao was the first to jump off the carriage. After surveying the surroundings, she pointed to the inn road beside the road.

The inn was a very grand building, with four floors and two large red lanterns hanging at the entrance.

Soon, a servant came out to greet them, and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, would you like to stay at the inn? We have everything you need, including food, drinks, and hot water. We guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"In that case, let's stay here!"

"You guys go and help them settle the horses."

Tang Lan winked at He Caitou, Huo Yuhao, and the others.

The meticulous Huo Yuhao immediately understood Tang Lan's meaning, then pulled He Caitou and turned to follow the three coachmen toward the stables on the side of the inn.

This area is no longer within the control of Shrek City.

As the saying goes, one must always be vigilant when traveling, especially when visiting this inn, which is known for its many people and suspicious presence.

You might run into some people with ill intentions.

The three coachmen were different from them; they were ordinary people, so Tang Lan naturally had to be more careful.

Upon entering the inn, Tang Lan found the first floor to be quite lively.

It was dinnertime, and all the soldiers, merchants, and even Soul Masters from various factions passing through the area had gathered here.

In addition, a rich aroma of wine filled everyone's sense of smell.

Even someone like Tang Ya, who doesn't drink much, blushed slightly just from smelling it.

Tang Lan found the girls' appearance rather cute.

However, he still took the girls upstairs first, and the waiter arranged rooms for Tang Lan and the others.

Tang Lan and her group of eleven were quickly settled into rooms on the third floor.

"Senior, did you feel the unfriendly looks from those people downstairs just now?"

"These guys don't look like good people. We'd better be careful tonight."

Seeing that Tang Lan hadn't gone back to her room but was instead standing above looking down at everything below, Wang Dong leaned closer and whispered something.

This inn uses the most basic U-shaped building, and you can see the scene below from upstairs.

"Oh? I've noticed that too. We should be more vigilant."

"I didn't expect you to be so vigilant. Now I feel relieved."

Tang Lan looked at Wang Dong with a gentle smile.

Upon seeing Tang Lan's gaze again, Wang Dong felt a little embarrassed and could only lower his head.

Because Wang Dong has always had many secrets, which he has not even told Tang Lan.

But now, she felt a little guilty because Tang Lan had been too good to her, even giving her his soul bone.

But there are some things, including her own background, that she herself doesn't understand, so how can she tell others?

For a moment, Wang Dong's thoughts were in turmoil, and his mood dipped slightly.

"What are you thinking about?"

“Some things, even if you can’t figure them out now, will eventually come to fruition. There are always more solutions than problems. We are constantly getting stronger, aren’t we?” Just then, Tang Lan gently tapped Wang Dong’s head.

Seeing that Wang Dong looked somewhat dejected, he promptly offered words of comfort.

"Senior, actually I am..."

Wang Dong seemed to have made up her mind; she wanted to say something.

But Tang Lan interrupted her, saying, "Everyone must be tired after a long day of travel. You should go back to your room too! I'll have the waiter bring you some food."

And so, everyone agreed with Tang Lan's decision.

It was decided that we would have a simple dinner in our respective rooms, and it would be best to avoid appearing downstairs tonight.

At night, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, with only the night wind whistling.

Tang Lan sat cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed in meditation, but suddenly opened them at a certain moment.

Tang Lan's powerful perception immediately allowed her to sense a few breaths of energy.

But this aura did not belong to humans, but to soul beasts.

"It's this one. How did it get here? Did it follow us here specifically?"

Tang Lan muttered to himself, gradually falling into deep thought.

Just then, that aura approached again, and Tang Lan could sense that it was heading straight for Huo Yuhao's room.

"Three-Eyed Golden Lion, I didn't expect you to follow me all the way here."

"I never expected that everything would still happen in the end. Since you are so interested in the human world, then I will grant your wish."

Tang Lan's voice faded slowly, and then she suddenly disappeared from the window.

Tang Lan summoned his Ancient Dragon Martial Soul, and huge dragon wings flapped behind him as he appeared in mid-air behind the inn.

After glancing around, he quickly spotted the three-eyed golden lion, which had shrunk to the size of a rabbit.

No wonder so many people couldn't find it; this thing not only shrank in size, but also concealed its aura.

Upon discovering this creature, Tang Lan said, "Three-Eyed Golden Lion, what are you doing here? I let you go last time, you should cherish your life."

Then, the three-eyed golden lion spoke the truth: "Human, I do not wish to be your enemy. I just want to see that boy and have a word with him."

After learning about many things and emotions of humans from Huo Yuhao's memories, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could no longer remain peacefully in the Soul Beast Forest.

She felt this was the life she should be living, and she longed to be human.

However, as a mythical beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, she has her own mission: to protect all the soul beasts and help them grow rapidly.
