Chapter 167: Tiandou's shocking changes
"Senior Dugu is so complimentary, you have become a lot stronger!"
Lin Chuan was not proud and looked at Dugu Bo with a smile.
Having said this, Dugu Bo suddenly seemed very excited, but he still waved his hand in an airy manner, "Thanks to that pill, not only did I evolve my martial soul, but the remaining potency also allowed me to break through to level ninety-five, but it's almost the same." It’s the end, and it should slow down later.”
But even so, he was already satisfied.
The weakest Titled Douluo back then was now only one step away from being a Super Douluo.
"Congratulations to the senior for making another step forward!"
"Okay, you little monster, stop teasing me," Dugu Bo shook his head impatiently, "I'm afraid with your current strength, I won't be able to make a single move in your hands, right?!"
It sounded like he was asking, but his tone was very firm.
Lin Chuan just smiled mysteriously and did not respond.
How should he reply to this?
It's impossible to boast that Poison Douluo's strength is not inferior to mine, right?
That didn't sound like being polite, but more like ridicule. After thinking about it, it was better to smile politely.
Fortunately, Dugu Bo didn't go into details and sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I don't intend to compete with you anyway. That's asking for trouble. But when I think of someone who will be your enemy in the future, I feel sad for them. "
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old Titled Douluo, and he also possesses the soul skills that can severely injure Titled Douluo even under the Soul Emperor.
Just thinking about being an enemy of such a being makes one's scalp numb.
"Senior said, I am a very kind person!"
"hehe……"
This time, not only Dugu Bo, but also everyone else couldn't help but roll their eyes.
"Ahem, Dean, nothing major happened during this time, right?"
Unable to bear being stared at by several pairs of eyes, Lin Chuan coughed twice and immediately changed the subject.
Shui Lanxin was stunned for a moment, her expression a little weird, "I thought you didn't care about your territory at all, but nothing big happened. There was no movement in either the Spirit Hall or the Tiandou Empire. Good development opportunities for us.”
"It's just the calm before the storm!"
Lin Chuan shook his head, his voice seemed particularly cold.
As an insider of the future, he knew very well that Wuhun Palace would eventually launch a war that would affect the entire continent, which was just a matter of time.
"Dean, please Shui family, please cultivate more troops!"
Shui Lanxin was suddenly shocked, her beautiful eyes twinkling, "Is it so serious? You even want to cultivate an army. Could it be that Xiaochuan, you want to expand your power?"
"Of course not. I just saw some things when I came back and changed some of my thoughts." Lin Chuan shook his head. "These troops are used to protect ordinary people in the territory. Since I have become a noble in the territory, I naturally have to provide them with shelter."
Upon hearing these words, Shui Lanxin's eyes softened.
"I understand. I will have someone do it as soon as possible. Do you have any other requirements?"
"It's gone for the time being. In addition, pay more attention to Wuhun Palace. They will make big moves soon. Then it will no longer be the small fights before, but the power of thunder!"
Seeing Lin Chuan speak so firmly, Shui Lanxin put away her relaxed mood and nodded solemnly.
"By the way, where are Bing'er and the others?"
"Bing'er and the others are practicing in the academy. Those children are trying their best to catch up because they don't want to be left too far behind by you because they have no chance to take the divine examination!"
But now it seems that the gap has not been caught up, but is getting bigger!
The assessment by the gods is so terrifying.
"I also know that there is an assessment place, which is also very suitable for water and ice attribute soul masters to practice. I can take them there after a while."
"real?!"
Upon hearing this, Shui Lanxin instantly became energetic.
Dugu Bo on the side was also a little moved, and asked tentatively, "Boy Lin, do you think I am qualified to participate in the assessment? Although I can't compare with you in terms of talent, I am still a titled Douluo."
"It should be no problem to pass the examination, but it is unlikely to be favored by the gods and passed on to the gods."
Lin Chuan spread his hands and directly expressed his suspicions.
In his opinion, Dugu Bo's martial spirit has now evolved into a top-level martial spirit. Even if he eventually reaches level 99 as a peerless Douluo, he will only become a guardian of the divine throne at most.
That is, waiting for the destined person to become the inheritor, and finally sacrifice one's own existence.
"Is that so?"
Dugu Bo's face was slightly cold, and he felt a little unwilling in his heart.
"Actually, Senior Dugu doesn't have to force it. Although you can't become a god, as long as Yanzi inherits the Earth God, as a Yiji God, he is qualified to bring two people into the divine realm. Therefore, senior, you don't need to become a god to have endless longevity. "
Lin Chuan once again told everyone what he knew.
"Is there such a good thing?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's face suddenly looked much better.
Although he is not destined to become a god, he can still benefit from the glory of his own granddaughter.
Lin Chuan didn't care what others thought, and turned to look at Shui Lanxin, "Dean, please send a message to Bing'er and the others, asking them to come to Snowfield City as soon as possible!"
"I'll go now!"
Shui Lanxin stood up suddenly and disappeared from the room in an instant.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing. Even if Shui Bing'er and others cannot be recognized by the gods as inheritors like Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, it is still great as long as they can be tested.
Haven't you seen that Lin Chuan and the others have undergone such a big change just because of the test?
"I'm really anxious!"
Lin Chuan shook his head, but also expressed understanding.
"Brother Chuan, I will go back to my family first to see my grandfather and mother." Ye Lingling said softly.
"Okay," Lin Chuan smiled and nodded, "Yanzi, you and Senior Dugu haven't seen each other for a long time. You must have a lot to talk about, so let's have a good rest!"
Naturally, everyone had no objection and then left.
Lin Chuan suddenly turned his head to look at Zhu Zhuqing, who had been keeping quiet. At this time, the girl also looked at him, and the two of them stared at each other.
"I almost forgot about you. Let me arrange a room for you first. Come with me!"
The manor is huge, but there are very few people living in it.
After personally settling Zhu Zhuqing, Lin Chuan turned and walked towards his room, but before he had gone far, the vitality of heaven and earth began to surge behind him.
"I started practicing as soon as I came back. I really can't stop!"
He couldn't help but murmur, but Lin Chuan still admired this woman who worked hard enough to change her destiny. She could even be said to be a rare good woman.
"It's a pity...some people are blind!"
Lin Chuan chuckled and shook his head, his figure drifting away.
In the room, the cold and charming girl who was originally in a meditative state suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes flashed with complex light, and then slowly closed them again.
…
Lin Chuan stayed in the manor for the next three days.
After receiving the message from Shui Lanxin, Shui Bing'er and other members of the Tianshui team rushed to Snowfield City immediately, and when they heard that they would be taken to the place where the divine test was conducted, everyone was particularly excited.
Especially the girl Shui Yue'er, who kept urging her to set off as soon as possible.
Lin Chuan was so noisy that he couldn't do anything. Fortunately, after Shui Lanxin and Shui Bing'er's persuasion, the little girl finally calmed down.
After resting for a few more days, he planned to set off for Poseidon Island.
However, the arrival of an uninvited guest suddenly ruined the plan.
"Boy Lin, come out quickly!"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Dugu Bo rushed in. His words were so urgent that there was even a heavy look on his eyebrows.
Lin Chuan couldn't help but frowned, "Senior Dugu, what happened to make you panic?"
"Prince Xue Xing of Tiandou City sent a letter saying that something has changed in Tiandou City and Emperor Xueye was suddenly poisoned. He wanted to invite me over to see if I can solve the problem."
"Emperor Xue Ye was poisoned?!"
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Lin Chuan suddenly looked shocked.
But soon, his brows knitted tightly again.
It shouldn't be so early. There are still at least three years before Qian Renxue takes action. Or is her plan moved forward for some reason?
But now, neither the Qibao Glazed Sect nor the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family have been exterminated. Isn't Qian Renxue afraid of falling short if she takes action in such a hurry?
"I told you to stop standing there and come with me. If it's too late, it'll be too late!"
Dugu Bo urged again.
After all, this letter was sent by someone sent by Xue Xing, who had saved his life. In addition, Dugu Bo did not want to see anything happen to Emperor Xue Ye, which caused turmoil in the entire Tiandou Empire.
"Okay, I'll accompany you, senior."
Lin Chuan could only suppress the doubts in his heart and slowly stood up.
"Grandpa, let me go with you too!" Dugu Yan suddenly said.
Ye Lingling also stood silently next to Lin Chuan. Although he didn't speak, his meaning was already clear.
Before Lin Chuan could speak, Dugu Bo took the lead and shook his head, "Yanyan, you guys, please don't follow me. Boy Lin and I are traveling lightly and will go to Tiandou City as soon as possible. You just stay in Snowfield City, with the water director here. I feel more at ease too.”
"Listen to Senior Dugu, just stay with Yanzi and Lingling."
Seeing both of them saying this, the other girls could only nod.
Shui Lanxin looked solemn, "Don't worry, Dugu Mian, I will take good care of these children. You and Xiaochuan must be careful during this trip."
Dugu Bo had a relaxed smile on his face, "Don't worry, with my cultivation level, you can go anywhere in the world, let alone this little monster, so let's take the first step!"
After a brief farewell, Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo left Snowfield City together.
Time was running out, and the two of them had no time to look for flattery, so they continued to rush towards Tiandou City with only their feet.
Fortunately, Tiandou City was not too far away from Snowfield City, and the two of them had strong cultivations. It only took them two days to faintly see the outline of the city.
Without being blocked, Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo successfully entered Tiandou City.
As they were rushing towards the Tiandou Palace, they met a group of cavalry of about a hundred people. They were running very fast on the streets, with a somewhat chilling air about them.
After catching this scene, Dugu Bo's expression became more solemn.
"It seems that the situation is more serious than imagined, and the Tiandou Empire is about to change!"
As the emperor of one of the two major empires today, if Emperor Xueye dies, the situation on the entire continent will undergo earth-shaking changes. At that time, the change of emperors and the struggle for imperial power will undoubtedly damage the country's power.
"Let's go to the palace first and check the situation first!"
Lin Chuan's expression remained normal, but his pace subconsciously accelerated a lot.
Entering the palace, Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo were not blocked in any way due to their special status. After all, the former was a Marquis with real power in the empire, and the other was a guest minister of the Tiandou Empire's royal family and a titled Douluo. Both of them had considerable authority.
However, once entering the palace, the atmosphere obviously changed.
Lin Chuan released his mental power unscrupulously, and the situation inside the entire palace could not escape his eyes.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
"Senior Dugu, I'm afraid we are too late. Emperor Xueye has lost his breath of life, and it doesn't look like he has just died. However, there has been no news of his death in the palace..."
"Why is it so sudden?!"
Dugu Bo looked horrified.
"Someone is causing trouble!"
Lin Chuan has now basically determined the situation, and it should be Qian Renxue's hand.
Although she didn't know why the other party was suddenly so anxious because she had been lurking in the Tiandou Empire for so long, she did indeed do so.
Just when the two of them arrived outside Emperor Xueye's palace, they were stopped.
Soldiers covered in armor, holding spears and sharp blades, blocked the way.
"Get out of the way, we have an urgent matter to see His Majesty!" Dugu Bo took out his unique guest medal and held it up in front of all the soldiers.
The captain of the leading soldier didn't even look at it and responded coldly, "Your Majesty is resting. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order. No one can enter the palace to disturb you. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, "Don't you recognize the gold medal in my hand?"
"I am illiterate and I only follow the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The soldier captain's face was as dark as water, and one hand was even on the hilt of the sword at his waist, refusing to give in at all.
"What nonsense are you talking to them about?"
Lin Chuan secretly spat, and his whole body turned into a shadow and rushed forward.
The soldier captain looked tense and shouted quickly, "The enemy..."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish his words, he was hit hard on the back of his head. His vision turned black and he fell to the ground. Even the other soldiers were knocked unconscious almost at the same time.
In just the blink of an eye, the entire team of blocking soldiers had been captured.
"Boy Lin, you are too impulsive!" Dugu Bo obviously didn't react.
Lin Chuan smiled indifferently and said, "Everyone is already pissed off. How can we still have time to fight with these guys outside? And senior Dugu, haven't you noticed yet? These guys in front of you are not the Royal Guards. They are all souls." Master, he’s not weak at all!”
A total of fifty people, none below level fifty.
It is obviously not normal to stand guard outside Emperor Xue Ye's palace, not letting anyone in, and only obeying the prince's orders.
"Let's go, Senior Dugu, let's go see what kind of monster this monster is. After all, I am also a Marquis of the Tiandou Empire. I can't let the empire fall into chaos like this."
Now that the matter was over, Dugu Bo didn't say anything more and hurriedly followed Lin Chuan into the palace.
However, at this moment, several breaths approached, and a leisurely male voice came from inside, "Brother Lin Chuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. I really didn't expect that you, who had disappeared for two years, would suddenly appear in the palace."
Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, slowly walking out, followed by two figures.
"It's been a long time indeed, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I didn't expect that we would meet again under such circumstances. Things are so unpredictable!"
Lin Chuan chuckled and said hello, not feeling nervous.
Xue Qinghe is still so handsome, and his temperament has not changed at all. He has a spring-like smile on his face, giving people an approachable feeling.
As for the two old men who were one position behind him, they were wearing cloth clothes and had restrained energy. They were obviously not members of the royal family, and they were both masters.
"I wonder why Brother Lin Chuan came all the way from Snowfield City? And he also attacked the Royal Forbidden Army. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Xue Qinghe stopped five steps away from Lin Chuan, sighed softly and asked.
Lin Chuan looked at him with a smile and asked instead, "Senior Dugu and I are naturally here to save the Tiandou Empire from fire and water. Why don't His Highness the Crown Prince introduce to me the identities of these two crown princes?"
The strength of the two people behind him was revealed with one word, and Xue Qinghe's expression finally changed.
