Transmigrating into Douluo Continent: I Am a Master

Chapter 170 Loneliness

The one who spoke was an elderly woman who placed a steaming cup of milk in front of a traveler.

"Haha, thank you so much. I was a bit lost for a moment. Please keep this gold soul coin."

The traveler took out a gold soul coin from his storage soul tool and placed it in the old man's hand.

In such a remote little village, this single gold soul coin was enough to support the old woman's family for several months, and all the old woman gave this down-on-his-luck traveler was a chair to rest on and a cup of hot milk.

The old woman quickly waved her hand in refusal and stuffed the gold soul coin back into the traveler's hand.

The traveler simply smiled and remained silent, pretending to put away the gold soul coin. Then, taking advantage of the old woman turning to go back into the house, he flicked the gold soul coin onto the table inside the old woman's room.

Then he continued drinking the hot milk.

He kept looking around and repeatedly took out his soul tool to check the time, as if he was waiting for someone.

Finally, he waited until he finished the cup of hot milk in his hand, but the person he was waiting for never appeared.

His brow furrowed, and he muttered unhappily, "I can forgive a few uncles, but what are 'Demon Bat' and 'Bone Dragon' up to? Why aren't they joining us yet?"

"Alright, with the uncles here, there shouldn't be any problems. I need to go back to the church to report on the results of this mission."

After muttering to himself, he slowly got up and left, revealing nine spirit rings behind him!

Title Douluo!

Furthermore, the Soul Ring configuration is an astonishing six black and three red!

But he only appeared for a moment; the next second, his figure disappeared from the spot.

"Young man, you must have finished drinking. Would you like some food? Where is everyone?" The old woman looked around, but the traveler was nowhere to be seen.

Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.

After a long day of travel, Zhang Mo, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Qiu'er finally returned to the inner courtyard.

Upon landing, Huo Yuhao appeared somewhat flustered.

Zhang Mo sighed and said, "Go find Wang Dong'er first, and tidy yourself up while you're at it. I'll be waiting for you in the main conference room in half an hour."

"Yes, Master."

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Yuhao's figure vanished from the spot, and the last word drifted over from afar.

Zhang Mo turned to look at Wang Qiu'er. Although she looked much the same as usual, Zhang Mo could see that there was still a hint of loneliness in her eyes when she heard that Huo Yuhao had gone to find Wang Dong'er.

Zhang Mo pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Shall we go over and talk?"

The two arrived at the seats by the Sea God Lake next to the Sea God Pavilion and sat down.

"I never imagined that this once majestic imperial beast would now understand the taste of love."

Hearing Zhang Mo's joke, Wang Qiu'er was not annoyed. Instead, two blushes quickly rose on her pretty face, and she lowered her head and remained silent.

In the end, he simply said coldly, "But he has a lover."

Just then, to everyone's surprise, someone suddenly rushed out from the Sea God Pavilion.

It's Wang Dong'er.

Wang Dong'er looked around and, upon spotting Zhang Mo and Wang Qiu'er, quickly went to Wang Qiu'er's side before looking at Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo knew that this brief conversation was about to end, and the two sisters who were not related by blood wanted to have a private chat.

Zhang Mo immediately got up and went into the Sea God Pavilion. He found Ye Guyi waiting for him.

"When Wang Dong'er saw Huo Yuhao return, and heard that Wang Qiu'er had gone to great lengths to rescue Huo Yuhao from the beast tide and the subsequent difficulties, she rushed out to thank her."

Zhang Mo turned around and saw Wang Dong'er half-squatting on the ground, holding Wang Qiu'er's hands, saying something. But from Wang Qiu'er's embarrassed expression, it was probably something very cheesy or very grateful.

"What a tragedy."

Zhang Mo let out a long breath, shook his head, and took Ye Guyi's hand as they walked towards the main conference room inside the Sea God Pavilion.

Half an hour later.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er arrived at the main conference room as agreed. The elders of the Sea God Pavilion also gathered again, but a few were missing.

Elder Xuan explained that the absent Grand Elder had gone to help the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire resolve the crisis of the beast tide.

Elder Xuan handed Huo Yuhao several documents containing important intelligence from the past few days. After reading them, Huo Yuhao reacted in the same way as everyone else present.

"This, this—how is this possible?"

The news these past few days has undoubtedly shocked Huo Yuhao greatly, considering that the next Soul Battle Tournament is only a few months away.

Normally, the entire continent should be very quiet at this time, with all countries wholeheartedly preparing for the Battle Soul Tournament.

In the absence of war, the Soul Fighting Tournament is a place to showcase national strength, technology, and talent, and all countries will halt anything that could potentially affect their preparations for the tournament.

But just at this crucial moment, the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire was assassinated?!

Zhang Mo recalled the Ju Zi who had once revealed a fierce face and vowed to destroy the Star Luo Empire, and the Crown Prince who, although paralyzed and sitting in a wheelchair, exuded the aura of a dragon.

"Yuhao, based on your experience studying and exchanging ideas in the Sun Moon Empire, do you think there might be something fishy going on behind this matter?"

""

"There is no doubt that all of this is the Crown Prince's doing, and there is some kind of connection between the Sun Moon Empire and the Evil Soul Masters."

"Behind Jing Hongchen is the Crown Prince, so I suspect that the Crown Prince is connected with evil soul masters, or even with the Holy Spirit Cult," Huo Yuhao analyzed.

Elder Xuan nodded; this analysis reflected the views of most people within the Sea God Pavilion. Whether Huo Yuhao was returning to the academy after his exchange or Jing Hongchen was defeated at Shrek Academy, evil soul masters would immediately come to salvage Jing Hongchen's reputation.

The relationship between the two is self-evident, or rather, the other party has no intention of hiding it at all.

After all, the Sun Moon Empire's desire to launch another war is nothing new; it's an open secret.

According to intelligence gathered by spies from the Sea God Pavilion in recent years, the Sun Moon Empire has recovered to the point where it can launch another war.

It seems a new war is about to break out.

Just as everyone was feeling down and a little sentimental, the door to the large conference room was pushed open.

The elders who had gone to support the other empires, led by Yan Shaozhe, all returned and entered the main conference room with displeased expressions on their faces.

Elder Xuan's face was full of questions. He quickly stood up and asked, "Shao Zhe? Why are you back so soon? What happened?"

"Ugh, don't even mention it. This is a really big deal." Yan Shaozhe shook his head, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and helplessness.

Yan Shaozhe recounted to the assembled elders their experiences in the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Battle Spirit Empire.

"What did you say? The evil spirit master struck first and dealt with the beast tide before you could?"
