Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 88: Traveling Together

The leading Soul Master didn't even have time to change his expression before his life force was quickly stripped away.

In just two breaths, he collapsed to the ground, forming a pool of blood.

This situation immediately alerted the other two Soul Masters.

To be able to kill a Soul Venerable with a single blow, one's strength must be at least at the Soul King level.

After checking and finding no one, another Soul Master couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The fact that someone could be so powerful that they couldn't even detect their presence speaks volumes about their strength.

After calming himself down, he clasped his hands in greeting and looked around at the dense forest, then spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, we are from the Netherworld Duke's Mansion. Today's matter is a family affair of the Netherworld Duke's Mansion. We hope that you will refrain from further interference for the sake of the Netherworld Duke's Mansion."

After speaking, the Soul Master was somewhat nervous.

Although the reputation of the Netherworld Duke's Mansion is indeed quite prestigious within the Star Luo Empire, the ruthless methods they used just now show that their strength should not be underestimated.

The most crucial point is that they had absolutely no idea who the other party was.

However, their underlying thoughts were more inclined to believe that this person only made a move because of Zhu Zhuqing's appearance.

Otherwise, if Zhu Zhuqing secretly had such a powerful group of people, it's impossible that Zhu Zhuyun wouldn't know.

The most crucial point is that if there are experts of this level, then Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't have been chased and killed by them so much a few days ago.

But after a long time, they still hadn't received any response and couldn't help but get anxious. One of the more impatient Great Soul Masters couldn't help but come up behind the two Soul Venerables and speak.

"My lord, I think this person has probably been scared off by the Duke's name. Why don't we make our move quickly?"

After this suggestion, the two Soul Masters couldn't help but be somewhat tempted, after all, the Duke's Mansion's reputation was indeed well-deserved.

But just as they were about to make another move, several cold glints of light pierced the air and arrived in front of them in an instant.

The two Soul Masters, who were on guard, were thinking of activating evasion or defense.

But the dark golden light still passed straight through their bodies, and a few breaths later, only Zhu Zhuqing and a pool of blood remained.

This made Zhu Zhuqing clench her hands slightly, even though judging from the situation just now, the other party did not attack her.

But if the other party really is attracted to my appearance, judging from the strength they displayed just now...

I had absolutely no ability to resist.

Just as Zhu Zhuqing was lost in thought, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

At first, Zhu Zhuqing was extremely nervous, but when he saw that the person who came was Jiang Li, who had saved his life a few days ago, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, if Jiang Li had any designs on her, he could have made a move long ago. However, Zhu Zhuqing quickly looked at Jiang Li and began to explain somewhat haltingly.

"Um... I'm sorry, I was also heading to Tiandou, it wasn't intentional that I was following you. I'm very sorry for causing you trouble today."

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but clench her fists.

She knew that the other party had saved her twice in just two days, and this time it seemed that she was the one who had inexplicably provoked the Duke's mansion.

Although Jiang Li acted quickly, it would undoubtedly cause him trouble.

So Zhu Zhuqing could only lower her head with some guilt, not knowing how to speak.

But Jiang Li only glanced at the other person before slowly speaking.

"Based on your martial spirit and your cultivation level, you must be Zhu Zhuqing, the third young lady of the Zhu family, right?"

Zhu Zhuqing simply nodded slightly in response to Jiang Li's question.

Jiang Li's eyes darkened slightly at this moment, explaining why he had intervened to save the other party earlier.

They were more attracted to Zhu Zhuqing's talent and personality.

Perhaps it can be used for my own purposes in the future, that's when I'll make my move.

But Jiang Li also knew that Zhu Zhuqing's current purpose was more to go to Soto City to see her fiancé Dai Mubai. He wondered what she was doing right now.

Just then, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling arrived and saw the mess on the ground and the two of them.

Dugu Yan came to Jiang Li's side and asked if he was alright. Then she turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hello, why are you being hunted down at such a young age? And twice in just a few days."

Faced with Dugu Yan's question, Zhu Zhuqing could naturally tell that he and Jiang Li were in cahoots, and that the first time it was most likely because of one of the two women that Jiang Li and the other two decided to rescue them.

Out of consideration for the fact that the other party had saved her twice, Zhu Zhuqing offered a brief explanation.

"Yes, it's because of family reasons. Their main goal is to capture me and take me back."

Upon hearing this explanation, both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling couldn't help but frown.

They couldn't fathom what kind of family would make someone want to escape, and even after escaping, would send people to hunt them down.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Jiang Li was not surprised at all, because this was the path that the heir of the Star Luo royal family had to take.

However, Dugu Yan and her companion did not dwell on the matter for long. Instead, they turned to ask Zhu Zhuqing about her destination.

"You also want to go to Tian Dou, right?"

Zhu Zhuqing simply nodded slightly, but he didn't expect that Dugu Yan would speak up after learning about it.

"That's perfect. We're heading back to Tiandou anyway. It's really going too far for your family to keep chasing you like this. Why don't you come with us?"

Upon receiving Yu Dugu Yan's invitation, Zhu Zhuqing's first reaction was to shake her head repeatedly and wave her hand in protest.

"This...this is not good. You have saved me twice in two days. I already owe you too much."

But Dugu Yan smiled sweetly, then came to Zhu Zhuqing's side and waved her hand.

"Since we've already offended the people behind you, you might as well hide and come with us into the Heavenly Dou Realm. Otherwise, what will you do if you encounter them again while you're alone?"

Dugu Yan's last words made Zhu Zhuqing, who was still trying to refuse, choke back her words. Although she was unwilling to admit it, what the other party said was true.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately lowered her head, caught in a dilemma.

At this moment, Ye Lingling also spoke up.

"Putting everything else aside, with your current injuries, it will be extremely difficult for you to successfully enter the Heavenly Dou Realm."

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, Dugu Yan turned her gaze to Jiang Li and couldn't help but speak.

"Jiang Li, wouldn't it be too much trouble for you to have her come with us?"

"It's alright."

Seeing that Jiang Li had agreed, and after some persuasion from Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, aware of her current injuries, could only look at the three of them with an apologetic and grateful tone.

"Thank you very much. You have shown me kindness three times in just a few days. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's attitude, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling helped her up and quickly said that it was not necessary.

In the days that followed, thanks to Zhu Zhuqing's disguise and the fact that all those who came to capture him died on the spot, the group was able to return to Tiandou territory smoothly.

After the group arrived in Soto City, Zhu Zhuqing expressed her gratitude. However, just as the three were about to part, Zhu Zhuqing's aura suddenly turned cold after she saw something.

This prompted the three to follow Zhu Zhuqing's gaze and look over, where they discovered a blond young man carrying a pair of beautiful twins on his way to a hotel.
