Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 36 Reunion with Mu Yun

Xiao Yi returned to the academy after leaving the Crown Prince's residence. In the evening, Dugu Bo returned with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling's third soul ring is a dragon blood tree that is over a thousand years old. Because of the characteristics of the Nine Heart Begonia, no matter what kind of soul beast, its soul ring and soul skill are only one, which is group healing.

Seeing that Xiao Yi had something to say, Dugu Bo asked Dugu Yan to take Ye Lingling back to her dormitory.

"Young Master Xiao, what's the matter?"

"Grandpa, I advise you to find an opportunity to repay Prince Xuexing's favor. There's no benefit for you to stay by his side."

"Could you tell me why?"

"Today I went to the Crown Prince's residence for a talk, and he laid his cards on the table for me. He is not the real Crown Prince, but the young master of the Spirit Hall. She went undercover to help the Spirit Hall unify the continent. As for the real Crown Prince, he died eight or nine years ago."

"But what does this have to do with me?"

"Think about it, your poison is practically a battlefield reaper, capable of leaving the enemy with only Title Douluos. Do you think the Spirit Hall would let such a powerful weapon like you languish outside?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi's words, Dugu Bo recalled his award ceremony years ago. After receiving the award, Bibi Dong extended an olive branch to him, but he refused. As a result, Bibi Dong sent Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo to hunt him down. Later, he escaped to the outskirts of Tian Dou City and was rescued by Prince Xue Xing, who was on patrol. After that, he became a guest minister.

"So what should we do now?"

"It's alright. Judging from her personality, she definitely wants to win me over herself. In her eyes, I am your grandson-in-law. If she wants to win me over, she won't send anyone to harm you and Yanzi."

"By the way, Grandpa, let's go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

"Why go to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?"

"I plan to bring back a few people, the same ones from my Soul Hunting Team back in the Star Dou Great Forest. They all have decent talent and have reached the high-level Soul Emperor level. They're currently in Soto City, and I'm thinking of training them into a core group for future power building. I've also arranged with the Crown Prince to have one of them lead the team. He'll be a Soul King after this Soul Ring Hunt, but Yanzi and the others need to improve their strength to participate in the Soul Master Competition. After that, I plan to go to a place for training, which might take two or three years. I'll have that person lead the team, since I trust my own people. Besides, I want to train them a bit, and the herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well will come in handy."

Dugu Bo thought about it and realized it made sense; after all, you can't expect a horse to run without feeding it.

Dugu Bo also agreed with Xiao Yi's idea.

The two then headed to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, gathered herbs, rested for the night, and then traveled to Soto City the next day.

After arriving at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Xiao Yi began to gather medicinal herbs. He gave the Jade Bamboo to Mu Yun and the Mighty Arhat Fruit to Wang Liang. Due to the limited availability of immortal herbs and the fact that he also needed to keep some for himself, he had to settle for giving the remaining two people top-grade medicinal herbs.

The next morning, the two headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest. Because Xiao Yi had an external soul bone and Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo, the two did not rent a carriage.

By the way, Dugu Bo has made great progress in the past five months, and his soul power has broken through to level 95.

Xiao Yi's external soul bone had reached 15,000 years, and his current speed was 3,500 meters per minute. So the two of them were very fast. The journey that usually takes ten days by carriage was completed on the third day.

The two rested for one night at the Soto Grand Hotel and arrived at Muyun's tavern early the next morning.

A year ago, after Xiao Yi and Mu Yun parted ways, Mu Yun opened a tavern in Soto City.

During the past few months at Tiandou Academy, I wrote a letter to him once or twice, mainly to talk about his recent situation.

The tavern was quite large, with two floors. The first floor was the main hall, and the second floor was where Mu Yun and his companions lived. It was roughly 200 square meters, and the interior was exquisitely decorated with neatly arranged tables. Since it was morning, there was no one there.

"Brother Muyun!"

Xiao Yi walked into the tavern and saw Mu Yun cleaning up, while Ying Luo was doing the bills at the front desk.

Mu Yun looked up when he heard the familiar voice and saw that it was Xiao Yi. He quickly asked Xiao Yi to sit down.

"Xiao Yi, what brings you here? How have you been lately? You didn't even tell me you were coming."

"Brother Muyun, I'm doing well lately. I came here to break through to level 50 and get a soul ring. Besides, it's been so long since we last met, so I thought I'd drop by to see you."

"What? You've reached level 50? I remember you were only level 38 when you left? Did you use some evil method?"

In the Douluo Continent, there are such people whose cultivation methods are extremely evil. They cultivate by consuming the blood and martial souls of ordinary people, which makes them cultivate many times faster than normal soul masters. They are universally hated on the continent and are known as the Fallen Ones.

Speaking of which, the Spirit Hall has been the most forceful in cracking down on the Fallen. Those with serious offenses are usually killed on the spot, while those with less serious offenses or who are extremely vicious are sent to a place called the Killing City.

Legend has it that the City of Slaughter is a territory left behind by a Soul Master after breaking through level 100. It contains a certain power that restricts the Soul Masters inside, preventing them from using Soul Skills, but allowing them to use Soul Power. To enter the City of Slaughter, one must achieve a hundred consecutive wins in the Hell Slaughter Arena and pass through the Hell Road to become a God of Slaughter. This characteristic makes it a natural prison. Over the past thousand years, only eight Gods of Slaughter have emerged from the Hell Road. The only remaining Gods of Slaughter are Tang Chen, who was parasitized by the Nine-Headed Bat King, Bibi Dong, and Tang Hao. Without a powerful backer, one cannot leave the City of Slaughter. If Xiao Yi wants to go to the City of Slaughter in the future, he can only do so through Qian Renxue's connections. As for Tang Hao, Xiao Yi has a premonition that a conflict will occur in the future.

"No, I encountered some fortuitous opportunities in Tiandou, which is why I've improved so much this year."

"And who's this next to you?" Mu Yun asked, looking at Dugu Bo next to Xiao Yi.

"My name is Dugu Bo, and Xiao Yi is my granddaughter's boyfriend, that is, my granddaughter's husband."

"Is it the Poison Douluo who dominates the world?" Mu Yun asked in surprise.

"Exactly."

"Junior Mu Yun pays respects to Your Majesty, Poison Douluo."

"By the way, Brother Yun, I plan to take you to Heaven Dou City after I finish hunting for the spirit rings. After that, I'm going to a dangerous place to train, and it might be a few years before I come back. So I'd like to ask you to help me guide the team members who will be participating in the Spirit Master Competition. Also, I'm here to give you some opportunities."

Xiao Yi took out medicinal herbs such as the Black Jade Divine Bamboo and said.

The door was closed while the group was talking, so there was no need to worry about being seen.

Looking at the medicinal herbs in Xiao Yi's hand, Mu Yun knew what Xiao Yi was up to. They had neither power nor profit to offer, and their only advantage was their decent cultivation level. Now that Xiao Yi had brought medicinal herbs and was accompanied by a Title Douluo, it was obvious that he wanted to recruit them.

Mu Yun thought it wasn't a bad idea, since they had worked together for two years and he knew the other person's character, so he agreed.
