Douluo Dragon King: The First Person in History

Chapter 70 of the First Person

"Many thanks to Tower Master Leng and Spirit Transmission Envoy Leng for their help. Our Yuanen clan will remember this kindness." Yuanen Zhentian looked at Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai with a solemn expression. With the two Leng sisters by his side, he could now focus on familiarizing himself with the affairs of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

After all, managing the Yuanen clan is different from managing the Spirit Pagoda. Even though Yuanen Zhentian is a Limit Douluo, he still needs some time to familiarize himself with the system.

After Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai exchanged a smile, the three of them transformed into three streams of light of different colors and flew towards the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.

Inside the Star Luo Empire Imperial Palace

Dai Tianling paced anxiously back and forth in the palace, waiting for news from Enci.

Enci was not only the Grand Tutor of the Star Luo Empire and his teacher, but also his greatest asset in ascending the throne. Regardless of the circumstances, Dai Tianling did not want anything to happen to him.

Suddenly, a golden streak of light appeared in the hall. Dai Tianling, his face beaming with joy, quickly stepped forward.

"Teacher! How are you? Are you hurt?"

Hearing Dai Tianling's concerned words, Enci looked ashamed and released a soul power barrier: "Your Majesty! It's all my fault! I've caused such serious losses to the empire. Alas!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Teacher, why are you like this! You are the pillar of our Star Luo Continent! Come! Let's sit down and talk it over!"

Seeing Enci's shame, Dai Tianling quickly pulled him aside to sit down before asking what had happened.

"Your Majesty! Just as we suspected! That person is indeed a Limit Douluo!"

"Alas! The gap is still too great!" Hearing Enci's words, Dai Tianling's anxiety finally subsided. The Spirit Pagoda's maximum combat power was already this abundant; what did their Star Luo Continent do to deserve this? They even had to specially dispatch a Limit Douluo to guard it.

The entire Star Luo Continent only has two Limit Douluos. One of them is even unstable!

"Your Majesty! That's not all! The Heavenly Phoenix Douluo and Dark Phoenix Douluo from the Spirit Pagoda have also come to our Star Luo Continent!"

Dai Tianling's hand, which was holding the teacup, froze in mid-air. He slowly turned his head to look at Enci, hoping that these words were just a joke from the other party.

But with the other party's nod, Dai Tianling's already dead heart shattered completely. Two Limit Douluos, and one Level 98 Super Douluo. This...this...this...

"Teacher! The Spirit Pagoda has become this powerful! And how did you know that?" Dai Tianling looked at Enci with a complicated expression, but the other party could only nod helplessly.

Leng Yulai did not join the Holy Spirit Cult, and the estrangement between Qian Gu Qingfeng and his father was resolved, with Qian Gu Qingfeng stationed at the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.

The Spirit Pagoda surpasses all other forces in terms of the number of Limit Douluo.

"How did I know? I ran into all three of them directly. And that's not all! To appease the people from the Spirit Pagoda at the time, I even agreed to some conditions..."

Enci recounted the entire story, from his battle with Yuanen Zhentian to Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai's sudden discovery, and then to the four conditions he was forced to agree to. He told Dai Tianling all of this.

Dai Tianling rubbed his temples and then comforted Enci, "Teacher, don't worry about it! Nobody expected the Spirit Pagoda to value our Star Luo Continent so much."

Dai Tianling knew that his teacher was forced into this situation! He was already injured, and on the other side were the Leng sisters, who could use their combined martial soul attack techniques.

If Enci had actually faced off against the three opponents, Dai Tianling didn't even dare to imagine the consequences.

"The 30% of living soul beasts and financial support from our royal family is manageable. Consider it goodwill towards the Spirit Pagoda. But the two ten-thousand-year soul bones and ninety catties each of Blazing Blood Fiend Steel and Soul-Ringing Copper! We royal family don't even have enough of these to go around, let alone any extra to compensate them!"

Dai Tianling stood up and paced back and forth, pondering a solution. Since the incident had already occurred, Dai Tianling decided to use this opportunity to strengthen his relationship with the Spirit Pagoda.

The teacher's description further solidified his resolve to win over the Spirit Pagoda. There were five Limit Douluo alone. Not to mention the other once-renowned Title Douluo powerhouses.

There's also his influence within the Federation. Once Zhenke establishes a good relationship with the Spirit Pagoda, not only can he delay the Federation's attack on Star Luo Continent, but he can also use this opportunity to send some children to Douluo Continent.

As someone in power, Dai Tianling naturally understood the principle that you can't put all your eggs in one cage.

But now the first step of his plan has been thwarted. He can't meet their demands right now!

"Your Majesty! I have a plan!" Enci said, seeing that Dai Tianling was still thinking. He also told Leng Yulai about his plan.

"Oh! What's your method, teacher? Tell me!" Dai Tianling asked eagerly upon hearing that Enci had a solution.

"Hehe! Your Majesty! We may not have them, but some traitors do! Why don't we use their resources to befriend the Spirit Pagoda!"

“Traitor? Teacher, you mean…” Dai Tianling only needed to think for a moment before he understood his teacher’s plan.

“Yes! Your Majesty, you can arrest people according to the list we obtained last time. I believe that these traitors have been stationed in the Empire for many years. I believe they must have sucked a lot of blood from the Empire over the years.”

Chapter 132 Green Skull Announces Responsibility for the Matter

Upon hearing Enci's words, a cold glint flashed in Dai Tianling's eyes. As a ruler, he despised those nobles who tried to be opportunists more than anyone else.

They're eager to divide the spoils, but the moment they hear the country is in trouble, they run away faster than anyone else. They want to go to Douluo Continent and continue living a good life peacefully. Hmph! Dream on!

Previously, for the sake of national stability, Dai Tianling could only offer them gentle warnings. But now that things have developed to this point, there is no other option but to sacrifice these heroes who are about to die for their country.

Dai Tianling clapped his hands lightly, and a dark figure suddenly appeared behind him and Enci. Dai Tianling bowed respectfully to the figure: "Elder Xue! This time, we'll have to trouble you to personally take action!"

"What trouble is there! I'd be content to do my part for the empire before this old man dies."

The shadows gradually dissipated, revealing a gaunt old man in a white robe. Enci sensed the old man's almost depleted life force and said with a complex expression, "Old Xue! You'd better not do it! I'll go!"

"Hey! You old white dragon, are you looking down on me? I don't have many years left to live! Let me do my part one last time before I die!" Old Xue politely declined Enci's suggestion. Seeing that he couldn't persuade his old friend, Enci could only nod helplessly.

Enci's early cultivation talent could only be described as poor. He was only a minor Soul Master at the age of thirty. At that time, everyone thought that Enci's life was ruined, but he seemed to have suddenly had an epiphany.

He broke through to Soul Emperor in five years, Title Breakthrough in five years, and Super Douluo in five years, reaching level 98 at the age of fifty. After that, he single-handedly completed the design and forging of his Battle Armor.

Later, he further nurtured his four-word battle armor with soul power and spiritual power. He can be considered a representative figure of late bloomers in the Douluo Continent.

In contrast to him, Elder Xue was a renowned genius even in his youth. However, he was later betrayed and plotted against by several powerful figures from the Holy Spirit Cult.

Although he successfully repelled them, his opponents left him with an indelible internal injury. This injury greatly affected his future cultivation, ultimately causing his cultivation level to be stuck at level ninety-six, from which he could never progress further.

"Alas!" With a sigh, Enci transformed into specks of white light and went to follow Elder Xue. Dai Tianling sat back down in his seat with a solemn expression. Another of the older generation of powerful figures from their Star Luo Continent had passed away, and the next generation of powerful figures had not yet grown up.

But the Douluo Federation outside is still watching them closely with covetous eyes. Can Dai Tianling really make it safely to the other side?

.......................................

Xingluo City Center

The dark figure passed through an old-fashioned mansion and swaggered straight toward its target.

In a lavishly decorated bedroom, the nobleman, who was lying on the bed embracing his beautiful concubine, had no reaction yet. A large shadow stretched up to the ceiling and fell straight down, piercing the nobleman's body.

Ouch! The nobleman, still fast asleep, felt the intense pain and immediately opened his eyes, wanting to cry out for help. But a small shadow had already covered his mouth, preventing him from making a sound.

Watching the shadows constantly piercing and withdrawing from the ceiling, the nobleman, though he wanted to beg for mercy, could only helplessly watch his life slip away, unable to utter a sound, until he finally became a corpse.

Old Xue appeared silently in front of the gate of the ancient house. He waved to the back, and a group of soldiers in exquisite armor rushed forward, kicked open the gate, and rushed in.

The sound of the door being kicked open immediately attracted the attention of some people in the courtyard. Disturbed from their dreams, some immediately pushed open their doors, intending to loudly rebuke who dared to trespass into the residence of an official of the imperial court.

When they saw the group of soldiers who exuded a murderous aura and wore armor with a tiger pattern printed in the center, they immediately stopped talking.

White Tiger Guard. A directly subordinate legion meticulously trained by the Star Luo Royal Family. After experiencing the devastating defeat ten thousand years ago, the Star Luo Continent, having fled to an island, also formed a unique Soul Guidance Legion, modeled after the Soul Guidance Legion of the Sun Moon Empire.

As the sword of the Star Luo royal family, the White Tiger Guards only mobilize on a large scale when major events occur. Because of the White Tiger Guards' undisguised movements, many officials living nearby immediately came out to investigate.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on his predetermined target, Elder Xue transformed into a black shadow and flew into the distance. With everyone's attention diverted, now was the perfect opportunity to strike.

The White Tiger Guards! What are they doing here?! A young man who recognized the White Tiger Guards was frozen in place by the murderous aura emanating from them. The tall, middle-aged man in the lead slapped the stunned young man away with a single blow.

He said coldly, "Surround this place! We absolutely cannot let those rats from the Green Skull escape! Search the place thoroughly, not a single floor tile should be missed!"

"Yes!" the White Tiger Guards replied in unison. Everyone else present, as well as the nobles who had come to watch the spectacle, turned pale upon hearing the name Green Skull.

As a notorious evil spirit master organization in the Star Luo Continent, the Green Skull's reputation is well-known! The White Tiger Guards immediately split into several small teams and began searching everywhere.

When the middle-aged man who had been leading the group kicked open the door, a strong stench of blood hit them.

Hearing the noise, the concubine frowned. She rubbed her eyes in annoyance and got up to ask what had happened when a strong smell of blood entered her nose.

After turning her head to look at the man who had been stabbed more than a dozen times, she immediately screamed at the top of her lungs: "Aaaaaaahh ...

The commander of the White Tiger Guard watched the bloody scene expressionlessly. Without turning his head, he ordered the soldiers behind him, "You guard this room! I'm going to look for that green skull rat elsewhere. I suspect he's gone to commit crimes elsewhere."

"Yes, sir!" A squad leader immediately saluted and began to drive everyone out of the crime scene.

Meanwhile, in several other luxury residences, the same scene unfolded one after another. The most ordinary of things, the shadows that were everywhere, transformed into deadly weapons, bringing them to their deaths.

Even if they wanted to call for help, the room they were in was already sealed off by shadows, and their voices couldn't get out at all.

As Xue Lao sensed the passing of his target's life, he nodded in satisfaction. It seemed his skills hadn't declined after all! As the number one agility-based attacker on the Star Luo Continent, his martial soul was none other than his shadow. In the realm of assassination, he was truly an expert.

The other bodies were discovered shortly afterward!

Seeing the White Tiger Guards arrive at the scene, Xue Lao transformed into a black shadow and headed towards the palace. He was going to report back to Dai Tianling.

When Elder Xue arrived at the palace, he nodded to Dai Tianling. Dai Tianling bowed excitedly and said, "Thank you so much for your help, Elder Xue! I will send someone to deliver some medicinal herbs that are good for your blood and qi in a little while. Please be sure to accept them."

Old Master Xue nodded and then took his leave.

The next day, news spread throughout the streets and alleys that the Green Skull had attacked the residences of nobles and officials late at night, causing their deaths, and then arrogantly left mocking notes afterward. The entire Star Luo City was in an uproar.

Before people could finish laughing at this news, another shocking piece of news swept in: these nobles and officials had all participated in treason, and their property was confiscated immediately.

Chapter 133 The Skull Douluo with Red Qi and the Trouble-Making Dragon Night Moon

"A bunch of bastards! It was too easy for them to die! I never thought they would actually betray our Star Luo Empire."

Dai Tianling angrily tore the documents in his hands to shreds. These were evidence that the White Tiger Guards had found in the homes of the officials who had been assassinated by the "Green Skull".

He had assumed they had only recently started their opportunistic behavior. However, he hadn't realized that some of the earliest members had been aligning themselves with the Federation for over a decade.

A pack of insatiable ingrates, they immediately made two preparations as soon as they sensed trouble. Animals! Animals! Truly animals!

Dai Tianling grew angrier the more he thought about it, and the angrier he became. He immediately summoned the commander of the White Tiger Guard.

"Wang Xiao!"

"Your Majesty, I am here!" Wang Xiao, the commander of the White Tiger Guard, immediately stood up and looked at Dai Tianling. He was just waiting for His Majesty's order to immediately arrest the other traitors.

"I'm giving you three days. Arrest the clansmen of those traitorous beasts from yesterday. Arrest them one by one according to their family genealogy! I want others to know what the consequences of treason are!"

"Yes! I will do it right away!" Wang Xiao bowed and immediately turned to carry out the order given by Dai Tianling.

Not long after Wang Xiao left, the Minister of Finance, led by two White Tiger Guards, brought the list of the confiscated property.

Dai Tianling casually took it, but when he saw the string of numbers on it, he immediately perked up.

"The information in this directory is confirmed to be accurate!"

"Your Majesty! I have checked it three times, and it is indeed as recorded above," the Finance Minister said, sweating profusely.

Although the White Tiger Guard claimed yesterday that Green Skull was responsible, he only realized the truth when he was urgently summoned to count the amount of money.

This isn't some Green Skull attack; these companies were simply chosen as scapegoats.
