Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 78 First Arrival in Dragon City, "My sect leader has been incredibly free lately, and he loves entertaining guests..."

As the group headed north, the temperature gradually cooled down, no longer as hot and humid as before.

Xingluo is a typical southern country, with a typical hot and humid climate throughout the country. Even in winter, it is only slightly cold, and snow is rare.

The cooler temperature also improved everyone's mood a bit. People's moods can be changed by their environment and even the climate. This is not absolute, but it applies to a large number of people.

As the largest and most prosperous city in the northeastern part of the entire Heavenly Soul Empire, Dragon City is naturally not to be underestimated. Although it cannot compare with giant cities like Star Luo City or even Heaven Dou City, it is at least a city with a floating population of over one million, and its status is still exceptionally stable.

Unlike Star Luo City and even Heaven Dou City, which combine modern and old architectural styles with contemporary soul guidance technology, Dragon City is a completely ancient city. The shops and facilities on both sides of the street are made of wood, and you can rarely see the luster of metal.

Because it is so close to the far north, and due to the terrain of Dragon City itself, the temperature here is much lower than outside. Apart from those soul masters with soul power, ordinary people are generally dressed in thick clothes, and it even feels like winter.

After a long while, she changed into slightly thicker clothes. Her soul power level was Soul Master, so her resistance to cold was not low. However, in the cold, the flow and loss of soul power in her body would be much faster than usual. Although changing into thicker clothes seemed unnecessary, it actually had an effect, at least slowing down the rate at which her soul power was lost.

Of course, if you stay here for a long time and your body gradually adapts to this environment, then there is no need for this.

After entering the city, the four headed north. In the vast Dragon City, the Heavenly Dragon Gate had always occupied the south, while the north was the territory of the Earthly Dragon Gate. The two forces were relatively harmonious, but their relationship was somewhat strange, going beyond normal neighborly relations.

Shortly after entering the city, the Snow Empress said softly:

"I sensed the Title Douluo you mentioned. His strength is around level 93. Judging from his aura, he is not young. However, the lightning aura on his body is quite strong. If he really goes berserk, he might be able to go toe-to-toe with a Super Douluo for a short time."

Shu Yan nodded casually and said softly:

"Ignore him. The leader of the Heavenly Dragon Sect is quite a figure. Let's just do our own thing and avoid conflict with them unless absolutely necessary."

Xue Di nodded. What Shu Yan said was basically in line with what she thought. After all, she wasn't like the ruthless Bing Di, who would resort to violence to solve problems at the drop of a hat...

However, on the other hand, sometimes violence is indeed the best and most effective way to solve problems...

……

After walking for about half an hour on the streets of Longcheng, a huge ancient-style mansion came into view. At the top of the steps paved with countless thick bluestones, two serious-looking middle-aged men stood on either side of the heavy wooden door. Their sharp eyes constantly scanned the passers-by. Judging from their soul power aura, both of them were at the fourth level of Soul Master cultivation.

"So this is the Earth Dragon Gate's headquarters? It's a bit different from what I imagined..."

Xu Jiujiu said with some surprise.

In her memory, although the Earth Dragon Sect was not a top-tier sect, it was still among the best of the hundreds of sects at the time. However, their sect's headquarters was just an ancient-style mansion built against the mountain, which was somewhat inconsistent with the status of the Earth Dragon Sect.

"Maybe they just like this style?"

Ice Empress, standing to the side, rubbed her hands together excitedly and said something. Her excitement was off the charts. If it weren't for Snow Empress and Shu Yan by her side, she would have already turned the entire Earth Dragon Gate upside down by now...

Shu Yan patted Hyotei's head and then said:

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. If you're in a hurry, I don't mind making you even more anxious."

"Got it? Don't act so eager in front of them later..."

Hyo-tei had her head pressed down by Shu Yan, and Xue-tei, who was standing to the side, also gave her a timely reminder. Hyo-tei was a little helpless and could only give a sullen "oh". Now she didn't object to Shu Yan's occasional contact. Of course, she was quite vengeful, and once she had the chance to take revenge, she would definitely not be soft on Shu Yan!

That damned Shu Yan, just wait to be judged by the Ice Emperor!

Shu Yan didn't say much, and then led the three of them straight toward the gate.

As soon as they stepped onto the bluestone steps, the two middle-aged men reacted instantly. One of them quickly walked down the steps and then blocked the four people's way.

"Gentlemen, may I ask what brings you here?"

The middle-aged man maintained a very proper attitude, showing no intention of arbitrarily expelling or looking down on anyone. This was quite normal, as none of the four people in Shu Yan's group had an ordinary demeanor. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell they were no ordinary people, and their attitude would naturally become more respectful.

"I'm just a passerby. I have an important matter I'd like to discuss with your sect's leader. Would you mind informing him?"

Shu Yan said with a light laugh.

"this……"

The middle-aged man hesitated. In the past few days, their sect leader had ordered that no outside guests be received, as she needed to focus on breaking through her limits. However, the four people, including Shu Yan, were clearly not ordinary people. As a mere Soul Master, he was truly at a loss for what to do.

Shu Yan wasn't surprised. He gave Bingdi a subtle look, and Bingdi pouted before reluctantly taking a step back.

Nine soul rings, one yellow, one purple, one black, one black, one black, one red, rose up in succession, and Xue Di's enormous spiritual power spread out, completely enveloping the surroundings, preventing others from noticing the strange occurrence in front of the Earth Dragon Gate.

"A 100,000-year spirit ring!? A Title Douluo?"

The middle-aged man stared at the nine spirit rings that had materialized from the Ice Emperor's feet with his spiritual power. He trembled and quickly rubbed his eyes. Once he realized he hadn't misread it, he immediately bent over.

"Please wait a moment, esteemed guest... No, no, please come in quickly. My sect leader has been quite bored lately and loves entertaining guests. Please come in quickly... please come in quickly..."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man gave a low shout to the other middle-aged man who was already frozen in fear at the door, then mouthed the following:

"Go find the sect leader, quickly!"

The middle-aged man standing at the door trembled all over, then suddenly came to his senses. He bowed to the group, then hurriedly flung open the heavy door and scrambled away, disappearing from their sight...
