Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 16: Dragon Douluo, Royal Guard

Hearing the system's prompt, Ying Qian frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on? System? I devoured an eighth-level soul master this time, and so many seventh-level soul masters, how come it only added 600 years of cultivation to me, and it's still not as good as the Soul Emperor I devoured ten thousand years ago?"

[Ding! System prompts that the host's cultivation level is related to the heaven and earth elemental energy contained in the target devoured by the system, and has nothing to do with the target's data cultivation level.]

"So, the quality of soul masters in Douluo Continent ten thousand years later is no longer comparable to those ten thousand years ago." Ying Qian thought to himself, but think about it, most of the soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire rely on herbs to improve their cultivation, and their foundation is very weak to begin with, so it is understandable.

At this time, the hunted prince of the empire and the woman breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the killers were killed by Ying Qian. If they had not met Ying Qian, they might have really died in this evil forest.

The Imperial Prince breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ying Qian with gratitude and said, "Thank you very much for saving me, Senior. I will never be able to repay you for your kindness."

"Tianran, he is Xu Tianran, the future crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire?" Hearing the prince's words, Ying Qian once again looked at the two people in front of him. The young man in front of him looked about 21 or 22 years old. Although his clothes had become tattered during the escape, the boy's eyes were still bright and energetic. Although his appearance was not too handsome, he had the majesty that was necessary for a superior. His dark skin revealed a healthy luster.

The girl next to her must be Orange, the future post-war empire. The teenage Orange looked even younger, with long black hair and a pair of bright, sleepy eyes. Her skin was really good, with no pores on it, as if water could be squeezed out of it. The maid's outfit, worn on her, perfectly set off her beautiful figure.

"Your Highness, you are too polite. This is not the place to talk. Why don't you get on the carriage first and make plans tomorrow?" Ying Qian suggested.

"Senior, you are right." Xu Tianran agreed.

Before getting on the carriage, Xu Tianran made a gesture to Ju Zi, who immediately understood and went forward to check the bodies of the killers. In addition to the bodies of the killers being annihilated by Ying Qian, some fragments of the soul guides were still well preserved.

After searching for a while, Juzi returned to Xu Tianran with a few pieces in his hand and whispered something in Xu Tianran's ear. Xu Tianran just took a quick look at the soul guide fragments and said angrily, "It's them. Wait until I get back to Mingdu, hum!"

Ying Qian naturally had no interest in the private conversations between the king and his minister. He was now thinking about his plan for this trip to the Sun Moon Empire. The original plan would definitely not work after what happened this time. He did not expect such a coincidence that he would meet the future crown prince Xu Tianran on the way to Mingdu.

In the original novel, Xu Tianran was indeed assassinated by other princes of the royal family when he was a teenager, and in this assassination, Xu Tianran lost his legs and could no longer walk. However, after returning to Mingdu, Xu Tianran carried out a bloody revenge on other princes of the royal family.

Ying Qian didn't know the process of revenge, but Xu Tianran was able to successfully sit on the throne of the crown prince despite losing his legs. He must have killed all the other legitimate princes of the royal family! Otherwise, how could the imperial family allow a person who lost his legs to become a prince?

However, Xu Tianran was able to kill all the princes in such a short time. Ying Qian thought that it was very likely because of the Holy Spirit Church. After all, the combat power of the high-end soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church could be compared with the two major camps of the Body Sect and Shrek Academy, and there were also the two extreme Douluos, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao and Death God Douluo Ye Xishui.

The opportunity for Xu Tianran to get acquainted with the Holy Spirit Church must have come during this assassination. You know, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church is in this evil forest!
Thinking of this, Ying Qian accelerated the speed of the carriage. He didn't want Xu Tianran to meet the Holy Spirit Church at this time. After all, without the Holy Spirit Church, Xu Tianran's reliance on high-end combat power would only be close to Ying Qian.

"Senior, the situation was urgent just now, and Tianran didn't have time to ask about your title." At this time, Xu Tianran's weak voice came from the back of the car.

"Ying Qian, do you want a title?" When asked by Xu Tianran, Ying Qian was speechless for a moment. He really didn't know what title he should be called. His true form is a dragon, and the Dragon Emperor Douluo is Long Xiaoyao, and the Dragon God Douluo is Mu En. When Ying Qian thought of this, he felt a little fucked up.

Both of these impressive titles were taken by others first, and that mere human Moon actually dared to call himself Dragon God Douluo, which really made Ying Qian even more unhappy.

"Title, Shenlong." After thinking for a long time, Ying Qian reluctantly said a title. There was no other way. As mentioned before, all the good titles were taken.

"Shenlong Douluo." Xu Tianran muttered silently, his eyes moving around, as if he was constantly thinking about this title in his mind.

"Senior, aren't you from the Sun-Moon Empire?" At this time, Orange on the side suddenly asked.

"Hmm!" Ying Qian snorted lightly.

"Then may I ask, what is the purpose of your visit to the Sun-Moon Empire this time?" At this time, Orange's tone was already a little cautious.

A foreign Title Douluo suddenly came to the heartland of the Sun Moon Empire, and soon reached the sphere of influence of Mingdu. It is hard not to wonder whether the purpose of this Title Douluo was to spy on intelligence or for something else.
Hearing Ju Zi's words, Xu Tianran, who was standing beside her, was immediately worried again. To be honest, being assassinated in the Demon Forest and then being rescued by Ying Qian was just too much of a coincidence!
Feeling the emotional changes of the two, Ying Qian snorted coldly and said, "If I wanted to kill you, do you think you can still survive with my strength? Even if the head of your Mingdu's Worship Hall, Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming, came, he might not be able to save you."

After hearing what Ying Qian said, Xu Tianran and Ju Zi looked at each other and thought, "That's right! With the strength of the three hundred thousand year spirit rings of the senior, even if Hall Master Kong came in person, he might not be able to protect the two of them."

"I came here to seek revenge on that guy called the Evil Eye Emperor. That guy hurt my teacher." Ying Qian said in a shocking manner.

"Revenge, Evil Eye Emperor?" As soon as these words came out, Xu Tianran and Ju Zi were both shocked. The Evil Eye Emperor was ranked second on the list of the top ten fierce beasts, with nearly 800,000 years of cultivation. What did Ying Qian just say? Was he here to seek revenge on the Evil Eye Emperor?

But if you think about it carefully, Ying Qian just had nine spirit rings, which clearly showed that he was a Titled Douluo. And he had three 100,000-year spirit rings, so his strength must be at least a 98th-level Super Douluo, or even a 99th-level Ultimate Douluo. In this way, Ying Qian did have the strength to seek revenge on the Evil Eye Emperor. "Senior Ying respects his teacher, which really makes Tianran admire him. Senior saved Tianran's life, and he will do his best to help Tianran if he can help him." At this time, Xu Tianran, who had come to his senses, began to make big promises to Ying Qian. After all, he and Ju Zi had just doubted his true intentions for coming to Mingdu. If he made the senior unhappy and killed him, he would really die unjustly.

"No, saving you is just a piece of cake. If you really want to help me..." At this time, Ying Qian's eyes fell on Ye Guyi who was standing beside him. The little girl didn't say a word from beginning to end, even when she saw Ying Qian killing so many people at once. Maybe life and death are already something that she, an orphan, is used to!

Ying Qian continued, "Please help me find a place for her to go! She is an orphan I met in a small town on the border of your Sun Moon Empire."

Hearing Ying Qian's request, Xu Tianran said without any hesitation that he would send Ye Guyi to the best academy in the empire, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, and would ask Juzi to take care of her. And after learning that Ye Guyi was an orphan that Ying Qian found in the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tianran and Juzi immediately felt that Ying Qian's behavior was admirable.

Ye Guyi remained silent. Only when she heard that Ying Qian was going to send her to the Sun Moon Soul Master Academy, her clear eyes fluctuated slightly, and then returned to calm again.

As Ying Qian accelerated, the carriage soon entered the interior of the Demonic Forest. The Demonic Forest was indeed as its name indicated. The interior of the jungle was gloomy, and the dense leaves blocked most of the sunlight. Moreover, the surroundings were full of silence and death, which was completely different from the vibrant Star Dou Great Forest. This made Ying Qian alert.

At this time, Ying Qian noticed the changes on the map. There were countless cursors approaching in the direction of Ying Qian and his team. The distance was very close, and Ying Qian was about to take action, but he heard Xu Tianran's voice in the carriage ringing in Ying Qian's ears, "Senior, don't do it, they are one of us."

As soon as Xu Tianran finished speaking, dozens of soul guides with flying soul guides on their backs fell from the sky and landed around the carriage. They were wearing military standard armor.

The leader of this group of people was a middle-aged man. After he surrounded the carriage, Xu Tianran, who was in the carriage, slowly appeared on the front of the carriage with the help of Juzi. After seeing Xu Tianran, the middle-aged man immediately bent down and made an imperial gesture, saying, "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, I am late in protecting you. Please forgive me."

"Seventh Uncle, what crime have you committed? I'm fine, aren't I? Besides, the fact that you personally led the royal guards to rescue me is already a great favor to Tianran." Regardless of his own injuries, Xu Tianran immediately jumped off the carriage and helped up the general in front of him.

It must be said that Xu Tianran is quite good at winning people's hearts. He almost died just now, but he said that he was fine. Although he is young, he is quite scheming. But his friendship must be in vain. Ying Qian keenly noticed this so-called seventh uncle, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

"Haha, this is going to be interesting." Ying Qian laughed coldly in his heart.

At this time, Xu Tianran had already brought his seventh uncle to Ying Qian and introduced him, "Seventh Uncle, it was this senior who saved my life. Otherwise, Tianran would have really lost his life."

And that Seventh Uncle was really good at acting. After hearing that it was Ying Qian who saved Xu Tianran, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes, but he still pretended to kneel down to thank Ying Qian.

Ying Qian naturally had no intention of stopping him. He had lived for ten thousand years. In terms of age, Ying Qian could be considered his ancestor and should be honored by him.

Seeing that Ying Qian had no intention of stopping him, Xu Tianran stopped his seventh uncle and said, "Senior, this is my seventh uncle, Xu Ji. He is the leader of my Sun and Moon Royal Guards and also a ninth-level soul mentor. He must have received the distress signal I sent out earlier."

"Nice to meet you." Ying Qian nodded slightly, which counted as a greeting.

Xu Ji also had no intention of continuing to care about Ying Qian, so he turned around and said to Xu Tianran, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, I brought an extra flying soul guide, please put it on and follow me back to Mingdu immediately!"

Before Xu Tianran could answer, Ju Zi beside him immediately said, "No, His Highness is injured. I'm afraid he can't bear the pressure brought by the flying soul guide."

"This..." Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed across Xu Ji's eyes.

"Uncle Qi, it is just as Juzi said. I am injured and cannot use this flying soul guide. I can only trouble you and your soldiers to walk back with us."

Seeing Xu Tianran also said so, Xu Ji had no choice but to speak, "Okay, I understand. Everyone, stay in line and protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince and Miss Orange."

Then he came to the carriage and said to Xu Tianran, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, please." From the look of his face, he was ready to drive the carriage for Xu Tianran himself.

Ying Qian had no objection to Xu Ji's actions. He just gave Ye Guyi a look to come down and stand with him.

Xu Tianran had no choice but to nod to Ying Qian as an apology when he passed by. Ying Qian smiled slightly. In his mind, this Xu Ji and Xu Fu would not live long. A ninth-level soul master dared to jump so lively in front of him. He really didn't know how to write the word death.

The group marched towards Mingdu in a mighty manner. There were several guards wearing flying soul guides in front of them, exploring the way so that they could report to the main force immediately if there was any danger.

Just like that, they kept moving forward until night fell. Xu Ji ordered to stop moving forward, prepare to set up tents, and order to prepare to cook.
