Dou Po: Lord of the Great Thousand

Hellbone Mountains.

This is a mountain range that is quite famous even in the entire Northwest Territory. The most important reason for this is because after passing the Hades Bone Mountain Range and walking some distance further, you will reach the center of the entire Dou Qi Continent.

The place...Zhongzhou!

Logically speaking, as a passage connecting Zhongzhou and the Northwest Territory, the Hades Mountains should be very prosperous.

However, because this place has been shrouded in fog all year round, and there are countless high-level monsters and poisonous insects among them, this place has become a famous and dangerous place.

There are even rumors that hundreds of years ago, many battles broke out in the Hades Mountains. Under the soil of the mountain range, there are countless bones of strong men buried, not to mention the Douhuang Douwangqiang.

Even among the top fighting sects in the northwest region, they are not a minority.

In the deep forest, through the mist-shrouded area, in the core area of ​​the Hellbone Mountains that no one has visited for hundreds of years, there is a huge black shadow that is entrenched like a wild beast.

The black shadow was a hundred feet high. Looking carefully, it turned out to be a huge black palace in darkness, surrounded by a chilling and terrifying aura.

At this time, in the depths of this huge palace, which was like a netherworld, there was a huge square. Above the square, a hundred-foot-high black stone pillar stood in the sky.

The stone pillars are densely imprinted with countless strange runes. A series of dark chains extend from the stone pillars, criss-crossing and outlining the sky above the square. There are even faint light groups floating on them. Inside them

, they are all soul bodies with painful expressions and illusory bodies.

Outside the square filled with stone pillars, several figures wearing black armor stood behind an old man in black. Their expressions were very respectful and they did not dare to show any disrespect.

The black-clothed old man held a letter in his hand, and his old eyes kept scanning over the letter. The light in his eyes flickered, and doubts and surprises flashed across his face from time to time.

"Tang Ling..."

After an unknown amount of time, the old man in black put down the letter in his hand and said a name with a hint of emotion.

Hearing the words of the old man in black, several of the men in black armor looked at each other. Later, a figure in the middle stepped forward and asked: "Old man, do you know the origin of this man?"

Their northwest branch had been plotting for such a long time in the area near the Black Corner Territory, but in the end they fell short. For the guardians of the Soul Palace who had never failed, everyone was holding back a feeling in their hearts.

anger.

Hearing this, the old man nodded silently and said, "Some of you are from Zhongzhou, so I guess the name Tang Su will not be unfamiliar to you."

"Tang Su?"

Everyone was startled when they heard this, but soon one of them suddenly changed his expression and said: "The elder Zun is talking about Tang Su of Burning Flame Valley? Hasn't she been missing for many years? Moreover, Tang Su is obviously a woman...

…”

The words were not finished yet, but the meaning of the black-armored man's words couldn't be more obvious.

Tang Su's reputation was extremely loud in Zhongzhou back then. Although to them, she was not old and was just a junior. But at that time, a woman was so suppressed that even her generation could not hold her head up, but she left a lasting impression for everyone.

Made a deep impression.

However, it suddenly disappeared and there was no news for decades. Could it be that it has reappeared now?

What's more, the man named Tang Ling is obviously a young man.

Wait, Tang Ling, whose surname is Tang?

Thinking of this, the man in black was suddenly startled and exclaimed: "Sir, is it possible that Tang Ling was also born in Burning Flame Valley?"

"Hmm... he is from Fenyan Valley, after all, his mother is Tang Su." The old man in black pondered for a moment, then nodded.

However, after the old man said these words, the man in black armor who knew Tang Su showed a look of astonishment on his face, and said hesitantly: "Old man, are you saying that Tang Ling is Tang Su's son? If my subordinates didn't remember,

If I’m wrong, Tang Su isn’t that big now, right?”

"Yeah... Tang Su is only over fifty years old, and that Tang Ling should be only thirty years old this year!"

When the old man in black heard this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

A thirty-year-old young man, relying on the strength of the Six-Star Douzong, actually killed two strong men with Douzun strength, Tian Shuangzi and Jiu Fa, one against two. Such a person, even in Zhongzhou, he

Never heard of it.

A thirty-year-old Douzong is nothing, and even a thirty-year-old Douzun is nothing. But for a six-star Douzong to kill two Douzongs in one battle, the shock is too great.

To know how big the gap is between Douzong and Douzun, this old man in black, as a strong Douzun, knows it best.

With his strength, if he really takes action against these Dou Zong protectors around him, even if the weakest of them have the strength of a five-star Dou Zong, he can kill them all with one person.

This is the real difference between Douzun and Douzong!

In fact, he had heard someone mention Tang Ling's story as early as a month ago, but what he heard at that time was that he barely escaped from the hands of a strong man.

After all, Old Man Mu Gu would not casually tell him that he was scared away by Tang Ling's fighting skills at that level. Now that the old man in black thought about it, he also wanted to understand why Old Man Mu Gu was so impatient to return that day.

Zhongzhou.

"Mu Gu, you have really done a good thing!"

Thinking of this, the old man in black couldn't help but secretly hate the other party in his heart. If Mu Gu had been willing to tell the truth that day, the situation in the Black Corner Territory would not have been reduced to what it is now.

"Sir, now that we know the identity of Tang Ling, what should we do next?" While the old man in black was deep in thought, the man in black armor behind him asked.

Hearing this, the old man in black suddenly turned around. The veins on his forehead were beating constantly, and it was obvious that he was suppressing a lot of anger in his heart at this time.

However, in the end, he sighed and said impatiently: "What else can we do? Tang Ling has the strength to kill the powerful Dou Zun. Even if I take action personally, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to succeed. Not to mention the people behind him.

Fenyan Valley is not that easy to provoke."

"this……"

Several men in black armor couldn't help but look at each other, but they had nothing to say.

How powerful the Soul Palace is, and the true strength of the Burning Flame Valley, although people like them may not be too clear about it, but they will not be like the Glacial Valley, and they will not encounter it so stupidly.

Not to mention, the Soul Palace's demands have always been great, and its actions have always been extremely secretive. What if at this time, it was really because of a trivial matter in the northwest region that they provoked the Burning Flame Valley, causing the palace master's plan to go wrong?

Even if they, the low-level protectors, do not know the true intentions of the Soul Palace, after working for the Soul Palace for so many years, they can vaguely guess that what they have done is just the tip of the iceberg for the real plan.

If Fenyan Valley really finds any clues, the consequences waiting for them will probably be no better than those of Protector Jiu.

"That's all, let's forget about the Black Corner Territory matter for now. However, this matter is related to the Burning Flame Valley, and we still need to report it to the Deputy Palace Master."

When the old man in black saw the looks of these people, he didn't know what they were thinking, so he followed their wishes and let the matter go. What's more, with his own thoughts, he was naturally not willing to risk it.

The danger of life and death.

The letter mentioned the last situation of the two Wu and Tiejie. With the old man's strength and vision, he could naturally see that a high-level Dou Zun strongman took action at the last moment. He, a two-star Dou Zun, really wanted to go to the Jiama Empire.

, I’m afraid it’s just a loss of life.

As for the origin of this high-level Dou Zun, it can only come from the Burning Flame Valley, which has been passed down for nearly a thousand years.

"By the way, just withdraw all the people from the Black Corner Region and put them in a few other places!"

As he spoke, the expression of the old man in black became more relaxed, and he gave instructions: "You should also pay attention to the situation in other empires. Don't let anything like Tang Ling happen again."

"Here!"

After hearing the words of the old man in black, several men in black armor nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the old man in black nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said: "Everyone, go down!"

When those men in black armor left, the old man in black's face suddenly darkened. In any case, as a respected elder in the Northwest Territory, he would be punished more or less for this defeat.

"Tang Ling..."

The old man in black murmured Tang Ling's name. Thinking of the fate of those who had offended the Soul Palace in the past, a cold smile flashed across his face: "I can't do anything to you, but you really think you ruined my Soul Palace."

Will things be forgotten so easily?"

What's more, he looked back at the countless souls in the square and whispered softly: "It's coming, it's coming, it will take another year at most..."

…

Naturally, Tang Ling would not know about the conversation that took place in the Nether Bone Mountains. At this time, he had already arrived in the Holy City of Gama.

However, this time he returned to the Holy City of Gama alone, while Yun Yun stayed in the valley, waiting for Zixue to return to the core of the Warcraft Mountains.

The three magical beasts that followed Bai Li back then have all advanced to the sixth level after so many years, and their strength is comparable to that of human Dou Huang warriors.

Although this strength is nothing to Tang Ling and others now. However, Bai Li has always cared a lot for these subordinates.

Now that he has returned to the Jiama Empire, he naturally wants to meet these three monsters and provide them with some resources.

After this battle, the Yunlan Sect was left with only three or two big cats and kittens. When he and Yun Yun went to see Yunshan a month ago, he could clearly feel that the ambition that Yunshan had back then had now turned into nothing.

Gone are the clouds of the past.

In other words, Yunshan's current hope for Yunlan Sect is more on Nalan Yanran. However, Tang Ling held different opinions on this.

If Nalan Yanran wants to truly grow up, she must go to Zhongzhou. If she stays in the Jiama Empire, even if her talents are much better than those of the older generation of strong men like Yunshan, she will be a fighting master.

The final destination.

What's more, just yesterday, he helped the little girl initially refine the Wind Fury Dragon Flame. With the strange fire and the help of the Life and Death Sect, Nalan Yanran's strength in a few years will probably be much higher than that in the original book.

few.

But what the little medical fairy said made Tang Ling rub his forehead helplessly.

That girl is good at everything, but she has not gone through the experience of Izumo in the original book, and her current temperament is too gentle. But she really lives up to her name, and her whole person has a gentle and watery feeling inside and out.

Even though he knew that there was no risk of his own misfortune poison exploding, he still refused to get closer to the human city. No matter how he and Yun Yun tried to persuade him, they insisted on staying in the valley on the grounds of care.

Tang Ling didn't have much to say about this. After all, he liked this student better than the murderous Sky Poison Girl in the original book.

As for whether her current personality would cause the Little Medical Fairy to suffer in the future? Thinking that she had lived alone in Qingshan Town for several years, Tang Ling was not too worried.

On the streets of Gama Holy City, Tang Ling slowly walked towards the direction of Miter Manor.

A month has passed, and the sensation caused by the Yunlan Sect battle in the imperial capital has weakened a lot.

However, in this month, as no less than hundreds of Yunlan Sect disciples were purged, the families in cities all over the country that relied on Yunlan Sect for dominance and prosperity were purged. These low-level fighting masters walking on the streets were still able to

Sensing the changes that are about to occur under the calm conditions of the entire Jia Ma Empire.

The Yunlan Sect did not care about worldly affairs, and at this time, there were only two forces left in the Jiama Empire: the royal family and the Miter family.

You know, the current Garma Empire, after occupying the territory of the original Garma and Izumo empires, has also occupied a lot of land from the Luoyan Empire. Its area has expanded three times compared to a few years ago.

wide.

In such a vast land, there are only two major forces, the royal family and the Mittel family.

Even though the relationship between the two parties has always been good, now, ordinary people who don't know what's going on are worried about whether there will be another war in the Gama Empire since the Yunlan Sect.

In response to such rumors, Jia Xingtian could only smile bitterly in Miter Manor.

In just a few years, the Mittel family, which was clearly the weakest among the three parties, has now become the most powerful party.

With the resources Tang Ling left behind, not only Haibodong broke through to the Douzong alone, but Mittel Tengshan also easily reached the Douhuang realm. In addition, the Mittel family relied on the auction house

, while actively expanding its power outwards, it also attracted many Dou Wang and Dou Huang experts.

If that's all, their royal family also has enough suppressive power to face the Miter family.

However, a month ago, the death of two powerful Dou Zun warriors left Jia Xingtian no longer having any thoughts of resistance.

As for the ownership of the Jia Ma Empire, what else could he expect in the face of a strong man comparable to Dou Zun? All he hoped was that Tang Ling could look at the little affection he had in the past and not treat their royal family

Yimai was too harsh.

"well!"

Jia Xingtian turned his head and looked at Yao Ye, who was standing beside him handsomely, and sighed in his heart: "Why wasn't Yao Ye the one who dated Tang Ling back then?"

"Old monster, how many times do I have to tell you that Mr. Tang really has no idea about your Jiama Empire!" Hai Bodong helplessly held his forehead and looked at the sighing Jia Xingtian sitting opposite him, and said speechlessly.

.

Ever since Tang Ling and Yun Yun left, this old guy seemed to have become dependent on him and stayed in Miter Manor, not even returning to the palace...
