In Douluo Continent, there is a proper way to die.

Chapter 124 At this moment, Tang Hao saw the strongest undead he had personally destroyed.

The next day.

The sky was covered by thick, dark clouds, obscuring the sunlight, with only a few rays peeking through. The sky became dark and oppressive, with strong winds blowing intermittently, and the air was filled with a damp smell.

This did not seem to be a good day for travel. The troupes stationed in Soto City decided to postpone their trip by one day and wait for the weather to improve before setting off. This naturally included the Spirit Hall troupe led by Lin Xiaole.

However, the bad weather did not affect Yinlan and the others' journey. After achieving their goal of letting Zhu Zhuqing witness Dai Mubai's "glorious achievements", there was no need for them to stay in Soto City any longer.

—Originally, her only purpose was this, and it had nothing to do with Tang San and Xiao Wu. But who told them to come and cause trouble for no reason? They really have too much free time.

Staying here is just a waste of time. The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin. At that time, the most outstanding young generation in the entire continent will shine in that grand event, compete for glory, and leave their mark in the world of soul masters.

Yinlan promised Bai Chenxiang that she would give her a chance to showcase herself in such a grand event. Although Zhu Zhuqing said she would follow in her footsteps and give up the power of the Xingluo royal family, she also needed this competition to prove herself, face the shadows of the past, and escape from the gloom of the past. Now, this little cat looks so gentle every day.

To be honest, Yin Lan didn't really care about that childish "arena exhibition match." As an extraordinary group on Douluo Star, it was normal for Soul Masters to die. How could a group of Soul Masters who could only put on exhibition matches that couldn't even kill anyone possibly stand at the pinnacle of the continent? What a joke!

But you have to admit that in the original history, most of Tang San's opponents were indeed like that, only good at fighting matches. This made him stand out from the crowd and become the protagonist of the Douluo Continent era. After all, compared to those other Soul Masters who still played exhibition matches properly, he was a Tang Sect disciple who would do anything to win. He would use any means to win, even poisoning people in an exhibition match. It was really ridiculous.

Considering that new team members need time to adjust to each other, it would be better to return to Tiandou City as soon as possible. However, although Yinlan is nominally studying at Tiandou Royal Academy, he is not actually very familiar with most of the members of the Royal Dou team.

Over the years, she had never actually attended that school properly; her name was merely a name on the list. The school was extremely extravagant, and it was mostly filled with the descendants of nobles. The upper beam was crooked, and the lower beam was crooked as well. Yinlan only wanted a competition qualification outside of the Spirit Hall's quota. In the school, she was only close to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

The three education committee members at the school had no objection to her inconsistent and unserious behavior in attending school. Not to mention that the three of them were all members of the Spirit Hall, even if the three of them were to fight together, they wouldn't be able to get past Yin Lan's hammer. They also wanted to see their team win a championship in their lifetime, hoping to benefit from Yin Lan's success.

As for being afraid of offending Bibi Dong? They've already latched onto Yin Lan's coattails, so what's there to be afraid of offending Bibi Dong? This is practically equivalent to getting on the good side of the Hall of Offerings.

After informing Lin Xiaole to leave the troupe, Yinlan took advantage of the still-good weather and left Soto City ahead of time, heading out along the main road.

The group moved at a slow pace. To accommodate Bai Chenxiang and Zhu Zhuqing, whose cultivation levels were not high, they used Zhu Zhuqing, who was the slowest, as a benchmark and proceeded at a constant speed.

Yinlan glanced back every now and then to observe the two of them. Bai Chenxiang was alright. As a member of the Min clan, who had pushed "speed" to its limits, she was naturally skilled at long-distance travel... This inevitably brings to mind the poverty of her Min clan. Over the years, the Min clan had moved their settlement many times due to poverty. Bai He naturally couldn't afford the commission for traveling to other cities, so the Min clan had been walking to other cities all these years. This resulted in Bai Chenxiang having a wealth of experience in this area... It really was a hardship for that child.

At the back of the group, Zhu Zhuqing, realizing she was holding everyone back, had a bitter expression on her face. But compared to the past, Yinlan could sense that she seemed to have let go of some burden. Clearly, this trip to Soto City had made her feel much more relaxed.

Yinlan was well aware of her ulterior motives. Dai Mubai had already been crippled by her kick, and the Xingluo royal family would never allow a eunuch to become emperor. This meant that Dai Mubai had no right to inherit the throne, and in the future, she was safe with the Xingluo royal family no matter what.

In Zhu Zhuqing's view, this is the first step in "determining one's own destiny," and Yin Lan has already provoked the Xingluo royal family in order for her to take this step, so she cannot let Yin Lan down.

After some time, when the city of Soto behind them had shrunk to a tiny dot, Yinlan, who was at the very front, suddenly stopped, waved her hand, and signaled everyone to stop.

"Alright, you've followed me this far, come out now, stop hiding," Yinlan's dark eyes flashed, and she curled her lip. "Has anyone ever told you that your methods of concealing your presence are really not that great?"

A strange noise came from the woods beside the road, and then two figures slowly emerged from it.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties, slightly overweight, with a protruding chin, wide cheekbones, and a flat face. Coupled with his hooked nose and the black-rimmed crystal glasses hanging on his long face, he gave off a cunning and sly feeling.

Behind him stood an ordinary-looking, burly man, not tall, less than 1.7 meters, but with muscles as solid as if cast in steel. He had an indifferent expression, and his little finger was constantly picking at his ear, giving him an impression of not being very smart. This gave Yinlan and Yinluo the feeling of seeing Xiong Jun in their vision.

"Gentlemen," Flander said calmly, but his voice betrayed suppressed anger, a cold glint flashing in his eyes behind his glasses, "you injured my student, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

According to what the people from the City Lord's Mansion said last night, Dai Mubai ended up in such a state because he was philandering and offended a powerful figure. This statement provides two pieces of information: first, he offended a powerful figure from out of town; second, among the people he offended, there must have been women with outstanding appearances.

Yinlan had no intention of hiding information, and with just a little investigation, Flander would be able to find out about them.

These four girls were all pretty, so it's no wonder Dai Mubai was lustful. Unfortunately, they were too reckless and actually crippled Dai Mubai's manhood, which is the most important thing for a man. Shrek Academy has always had a tradition of protecting its own, so these girls should understand that youthful impetuosity and recklessness come at a price.

A night passed, and Flander's anger lingered for the entire night. Others might not know Dai Mubai's identity, but he knew it perfectly well: Dai Mubai was a candidate for the throne of the Star Luo Royal Family. Even if he was a discarded pawn, he was still a candidate! The reason why Shrek Academy hadn't gone bankrupt all these years was largely due to Dai Mubai's financial support. Now that Dai Mubai had become a eunuch, if the Star Luo Royal Family took it seriously and came to question him, how was he supposed to explain himself?

Even if Dai Mubai's cultivation level, which he cares about more, is not in any problem, there is still a chance for Shrek Academy to make a name for itself in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament two years later. But that is two years later. The fact is that Dai Mubai's manhood has been destroyed. What if something goes wrong in the middle and the Star Luo Royal Family really comes looking for him?

The only way to deal with these four girls is to arrest them and let them do whatever they want with them. If the Star Luo royal family really comes looking for them, at least it will be a way of giving them an answer.

"Flander, all you do is ramble on and on with useless nonsense," Zhao Wuji flicked his little finger, then a sinister smile spread across his face. "Why waste so much breath? Are you sure they're the ones who hurt Mu Bai? Arrest them first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, seven spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—rose one after another from behind the two of them, causing Zhu Zhuqing's face to turn pale.

The price to pay for deciding one's own destiny... has it come so soon? This time it's two Soul Saints, and both with the best Soul Ring ratio, unlike the Zhu family's shoddy Soul King who chased her before!

She quickly looked at the others, her face showing unease.

Sister Lan can...

Then she realized that she was the only one who was uneasy. Even Bai Chenxiang, who was at a similar level to her, was calm and even looked tense, as if she couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm speechless. You two are just asking for trouble," Yinlan said, her eyes filled with exasperation. "I wasn't talking about you two. Why are you hiding? I was talking about you. Come out now. We're running so slowly because we're waiting for you. We're afraid you won't be able to catch up."

Otherwise, she would have had Yinluo tear open space long ago and arrived at Tiandou City in one step. Her mother, the little girl, was able to do that six years ago with the help of the Blue Silver Domain, so of course she can do it now.

Both Flander and Zhao Wuji's faces froze.

There are other people here?! And they didn't even notice?!

"Hmph." A cold snort suddenly rang out like a thunderclap, as if it came right next to everyone's ears, causing everyone except Yinlan and Yinluo to feel a momentary daze.

On the main road, a tall figure appeared out of nowhere, wearing a tattered black robe with a long hood covering his face.

"Those two, Little Blind Bear and Little Four-Eyes, are right," the man said, pulling down his hood to reveal a weathered, stubble-covered face. "You little brats, you were having a good time bullying those kids yesterday, weren't you? Now, let me bully you too. You can take that as me taking advantage of the weak."

Sure enough, if you beat the little one, the old one will surely come. Yesterday, Yin Lan beat Tang San, and today that bastard Tang Hao will definitely come to settle accounts with her. She left the group not only to set off for Tian Dou City as soon as possible, but also to avoid implicating innocent people.

When inside the city, Tang Hao would still be somewhat cautious to avoid revealing his whereabouts and would not act easily. However, once outside the city, he would not care whether there were any innocent people at the scene. He would kill anyone who saw him, because only the dead could keep the secret.

He didn't attack Shrek Academy because he was certain that all the members of Shrek Academy were his own people who stood against the Spirit Hall.

As long as he isn't pushed to the limit, he absolutely won't make a move in the city. This is also why Yinlan didn't extract Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, to prevent him from resorting to desperate measures.

Tang Hao slowly raised his right hand, and black light condensed and appeared in his hand, transforming into a huge warhammer. He placed his palm on the handle of the warhammer, his face showing a relaxed and comfortable expression. One after another, the spirit rings behind him rose up, and his whole body exuded an aura of dominance.

Before Flander and Zhao Wuji's incredulous eyes, two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red! Nine spirit rings appeared behind the opponent!

He is a Title Douluo, and a Title Douluo with a legendary 100,000-year soul ring!

"That martial soul is..." Zhao Wuji was utterly shocked. As a power-type soul master, how could he not know this legendary, strongest power-type soul master, "the youngest titled Douluo in history, Haotian Douluo!"

"Old Zhao, don't be afraid, he's not targeting us," Flander said calmly. "His Majesty Haotian's goals are probably the same as ours."

Upon hearing this, Bai Chenxiang's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly became a little worried, glancing nervously at Yinluo's back.

"You're that old bastard Bai He's granddaughter? Is that old man planning to betray the Haotian Sect?" Tang Hao looked coldly at Bai Chenxiang, his tone unfriendly. "You're right about one thing: if you do something wrong, you deserve to be punished!"

...This guy is talking complete nonsense! Bai Chenxiang's body was trembling, her lips quivered a few times, and then Yinlan grabbed her hand.

"Watch your mouth," Yin Lan said coldly, looking at Tang Hao. "That's your uncle."

"Traitors don't even deserve it!" Tang Hao looked at Yin Lan with disdain, his eyes filled with contempt. "You sharp-tongued girl... are you coming with me yourselves, or do I have to force you to come with me?"

"Tang Hao, you're still as shameless as ever," Yin Luo suddenly spoke up after a long silence, "and you're still as good at spreading rumors as ever."

"Young people these days are getting more and more ignorant. Don't they know they should respect the strong?" Tang Hao's gaze shifted and met Yin Luo's eyes.

His breath caught in his throat for a moment.

Despite their different appearances, the girl's eyes seemed to overlap with those of the woman on her deathbed twelve years ago.

...No, that's impossible!

A look of horror appeared on Tang Hao's face. His previous domineering demeanor had vanished without a trace. Even Flander and Zhao Wuji, who had been watching closely, could sense the unease in his heart and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Is Your Majesty Haotian... afraid?

Tang Hao felt water droplets sliding down his cheeks.

Is it sweat?

A muffled clap of thunder suddenly boomed in the sky, startling him awake.

No, it's rain. How could I possibly sweat when fighting against an opponent like this?

He witnessed it with his own eyes; that woman had long since sacrificed herself for him, leaving nothing behind...

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

Eight black and one red, nine spirit rings rose one after another behind the silver-haired loli. She raised her right hand, and a blue silver grass leaf with golden patterns, familiar to Tang Hao, condensed and formed.

"Yinluo, a level 94 Control-type Title Douluo," Yinluo gazed serenely at Tang Hao, just like the woman she first met twelve years ago, "Title: Blue Silver!"

At this moment, Tang Hao saw the strongest undead he had personally destroyed!
