Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 72 A Dark and Windy Night

In the dead of night, Ye Liangchen released his divine sense to perceive everything within a two-kilometer radius, but he did not detect any suspicious persons.

It seems that his move of "blindly ignoring the obvious" caught Qian Renxue and Xue Xing completely off guard.

Seeing that there were no problems, Ye Liangchen began to rest. However, since Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were in his room, Ye Liangchen couldn't let the girls sleep on the sofa. So he went to the living room, took out a blanket from his soul tool, and made do with the sofa for the night.

With nothing else to do, Ye Liangchen began to communicate with the Blue Silver Emperor about the future using his soul.

"Sister Ayin, I'm planning to establish the Tenglong Pavilion. When you transform into human form, you'll have to help me manage it!"

Ye Liangchen plans to have Lan Yinhuang as his secretary in the future to help manage Tenglong Pavilion, and let the secretary do the work.

However, Lan Xiaodie and the others must never know Lan Yinhuang's true identity, otherwise they might beat him up. If Shui Lingfeng and the Lan Xiaodie sisters gang up on him, it will be a three-way brawl!

"Xiao Chen, you are my master, and we are one now, so let's not talk like strangers. Wherever you are, I will be. Your business is my business."

"Sister Ayin, you died in your previous life. Now you're reborn. After you take human form, why don't you choose a new name? I think choosing a new name is a way of saying goodbye to your previous life completely."

"Okay! Xiao Chen, help me choose a name! I'll just use your surname, Ye."

"Then you'll be called Ye Cailan. The character 'Cai' (彩) represents that your life will be colorful and vibrant. What do you think?"

"Okay! From now on, my name will be Ye Cailan. I'm saying goodbye to the past completely. Thank you, Xiaochen."

"You're welcome. I'll have to call you Sister Lan from now on."

The Blue Silver Emperor was very pleased with Ye Liangchen's self-chosen name, Ye Cailan. "You, Xiao Chen, have managed to evolve a person's martial soul. Your extraordinary ability is unmatched. It's their good fortune that Dugu Bo and Nine Star Begonia chose to follow you."

"Sister Lan, please stop praising me. If you keep praising me, I'll get cocky."

"Xiao Chen, I'm just telling the truth."

"..."

After chatting with the Blue Silver Emperor for a while, Ye Liangchen began to dream.

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, Qian Renxue and Prince Xuexing believed that the boy named Lan Chen would be living in the Ye family or the Dugu family, so they sent out powerful experts to investigate.

But they were too late. Dugu Bo had already taken care of everything. At this moment, there was no one in the Dugu Mansion or the Ye family. Everyone had already checked into a Rose Hotel in the capital.

There were not many people in Dugu Bo's mansion to begin with, only three servants. The Nine Star Begonia family also had only a dozen or so people, including two elders who were high-level Soul Kings, six middle-aged men and women who were Soul Masters, and ten young men and women who were between 16 and 25 years old, but only Soul Venerables, and some of them were even just Great Soul Masters.

At this moment, the group, disguised as ordinary people, gathered in a lobby of a hotel room to discuss leaving the capital.

"Senior, are those two girls and Xiao Chen alright?" Ye Suling was very worried because she had heard Dugu Bo say that the royal family would definitely keep an eye on that little guy.

"Don't worry! That kid's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve! He'll be fine."

Dugu Bo felt that he was no match for that little guy in terms of strategy, and wondered what kind of master could teach such a disciple.

"Master, isn't it too risky for us to seek refuge with that brat named Ye Liangchen?"

The two elders of the Ye family couldn't understand why the head of the family would lead the entire clan to seek refuge with an unknown young man.

These two old men are Ye Suling's elders, named Ye Lin and Ye Shan, and are about 70 years old. Their martial souls are a longsword and an axe, respectively, but their aptitude is not good. They are currently only at the Soul King level, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, this will be their life's work.

"Do you know how outstanding Xiao Chen is? He is only 12 years old, but his soul power is as high as level 49. Moreover, he has many titled Douluo behind him, including Limit Douluo. Only by joining forces with him can we find a way out."

"Our Ye family has been squeezed by various forces in Tiandou City over the years, and life has become increasingly difficult. Who knows when we might disappear forever."

When Ye Suling told the Ye family about the power behind Ye Liangchen, everyone was immediately shocked.

"Limit Douluo?" Especially the ten young men and women, they felt like they were dreaming.

Dugu Bo chuckled and said, "I can guarantee that by joining Xiao Chen's side, our strength will greatly increase in the future."

"Moreover, Xiao Chen's methods are beyond your imagination. When we went to the auction house before, we sold 80 pills and made more than 200 million gold soul coins in one go. If you follow him, everyone's life will only get better and better in the future."

"Over 200 million Gold Soul Coins?"

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, everyone was extremely surprised. To be honest, none of the other members of the Ye family had ever met Ye Liangchen in person; they had only heard the Ye family head talk about how outstanding the young man was.

"So everyone should take a long-term view. Our Ye family will definitely rise to prominence in the future."

Now that the curse on Ye Suling and her daughter's martial souls has been lifted, they no longer need to worry about having few descendants.

"You all wait here. I'll go and investigate to see what the royal family is up to."

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he left the hotel and went to his residence to see if anyone would come.

The titled Douluo was very fast. Dugu Bo arrived at his residence in no time and suddenly discovered two powerful auras at his residence.

"Is this a Title Douluo?"

Dugu Bo was startled and quickly put on his night clothes to cover his face and conceal his aura. The sudden appearance of two Title Douluos was not something he could handle at his current level.

"That was close! Luckily, the little guy had made arrangements beforehand, otherwise I really can't imagine what would have happened."

Dugu Bo was very impressed with Ye Liangchen's strategy at this moment; indeed, nothing could escape his prediction.

The two Title Douluos who appeared at Dugu Bo's residence at this moment were Qian Renxue's two subordinates, Serpent Spear and Porcupine, both of whom were Level 92 Title Douluos. They were also ordered by Qian Renxue to capture the boy named Lan Chen and take him back.

"Old buddy, let's go! They anticipated we'd make a move."

"I wonder what the young master is thinking? Why would he be interested in that boy?"

"Old Long, should we go to the Ye family?"

"There's no need to go. It's a waste of time. I suspect that the young man has a Title Douluo secretly protecting him."

"Old friend, do you think that boy named Lan Chen might be the one who injured us last time? If so, the young master might be in danger."

"Go back quickly and persuade the young master to stop, otherwise you will create a terrifying unknown enemy."

The two titled Douluo were helpless when they couldn't find the boy named Lan Chen at Dugu Bo's mansion. They felt a chill run down their spines when they thought of their previous encounter in Sunset Forest.

"Whoosh..."

The two immediately left Dugu Bo's residence and sped away into the night.

Dugu Bo emerged from the shadows, looking at the two vanished Title Douluos, wondering who they were. The fact that they could send two Title Douluos meant their backing was no ordinary force.

Previously, the prodigy Ye Liangchen appeared and solved his martial soul problem. The little guy said that there was a Limit Douluo behind him. Now, two mysterious Title Douluos have appeared to capture that little guy. Various mysterious forces have appeared. Dugu Bo feels like he doesn't recognize this world anymore.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Just then, four more men in black appeared in the distance. Three of them were Soul Emperors and one was a Soul Saint. The four of them were hiding behind the Dugu Mansion, discussing their plan.

"I'll distract Dugu Bo. The three of you jump into the backyard and capture that boy. This is the Prince's order."

"Understood, leader."

That Soul Saint was also a Flying Soul Master. He arrived in front of the gate of the Dugu Mansion and directly used his soul power to knock on the gate.

"Bang bang..."

"Dugu Bo..."

"Swish..."

The Soul Saint roared and quickly left, trying to lure Dugu Bo away.

"Heh heh...! You're still too green to try and lure me away from my territory."

"In that case, I'll play along with you."

Dugu Bo watched all this from the shadows, thinking that these people must be Prince Xuexing's men, so he couldn't let them go.

"Who dares to be so audacious? Daring to cause trouble in my residence?"

"squeak…"

Dugu Bo first jumped into his mansion, roared, pretended to open the door and chased after them, then quietly and quickly returned to the mansion, waiting for the three Soul Emperors to arrive.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Seeing that Dugu Bo had been successfully transferred, the three Soul Emperors waiting behind the mansion quickly jumped into the mansion and began to capture the boy.

"You three are Xue Xing's subordinates, aren't you? You've got some nerve, daring to come to the Title Douluo's mansion and cause trouble."

Just as the three Soul Emperors stepped into the main hall of Dugu Bo's mansion, a deep voice suddenly rang out.

"Click..."

The lights in the hall came on, and a masked man in a black robe sat in the hall, waiting for them.

"Who...who are you?"

The three Soul Emperors were dumbfounded. They thought Dugu Bo had left and the mansion was empty, but they didn't expect that there was still a mysterious powerhouse waiting for them.

"You don't need to know who I am?"

"Anyone who dares to lay a hand on my young master will only die."

"hold head high…"

With a dragon's roar, Dugu Bo's Flood Dragon Martial Soul appeared, its nine soul rings—yellow, purple, black, black, black, black—pressing down on the three of them with a powerful aura of soul energy.

"A... a Title Douluo?"

The three Soul Emperors were pinned to the ground, unable to move, terrified by Dugu Bo's nine Soul Rings.

"Ahhh..."

Without further ado, Dugu Bo made his move. With three screams rang out, the three Soul Emperors met their demise.

The Soul Saint who had lured Dugu Bo away heard Dugu Bo roar and quickly flew away from Dugu Bo's residence. After a while, he found that the other party had not pursued him.

"That's strange, why didn't that old man chase after us?"

At this moment, the Soul Saint stood on a tree by the roadside, completely baffled. So he quietly returned to Dugu Bo's mansion to find out the truth.

When the Soul Saint arrived at the gate of Dugu Bo's mansion, he found the mansion brightly lit, but there was no one there.

"Hehe...! You've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for so long."

Just then, Dugu Bo suddenly appeared behind the Soul Saint, directly pressing down on him with the soul power aura of a Title Douluo. However, he still did not reveal his true face and remained mysterious.

"A...a Title Douluo? It's over!"

Upon seeing the nine large circles on the black-clad man's face, along with a cyan dragon martial soul, the Soul Saint was dumbfounded.

"Who...who are you?"

The nameless Soul Saint was terrified. He knew he was doomed once he was targeted by a Title Douluo.

"Anyone who dares to lay a finger on my young master Chen will only meet their end in death."

Dugu Bo didn't say much, and went straight for the kill, finishing off this Soul Saint.

"Since they sent people here, they must have also sent people to the Ye family. I must go and check."

Dugu Bo closed the door, threw the four Soul Master corpses into the moat, and quickly headed towards the Ye family mansion.

As expected, four Soul King-level men in black also appeared on the Ye family's side. Dugu Bo didn't hold back and directly dealt with all the men in black before quietly returning to the Rose Hotel to meet up with Ye Suling and the others.
