Dou Po: Lord of the Great Thousand

"You know me?"

Hundreds of miles away from the entrance to the Soul Cemetery, in a clear and bright area of ​​only a few miles around, Tang Ling looked at the woman in front of him inquiringly.

Just now when he was on his way, he caught the look on Butler Lan's face when he saw him.

With that kind of look in his eyes, it was obvious that the other person knew him.

This also proved from the side that Tang Ling had always felt that the woman in front of him was familiar, and it was not an illusion.

On the other hand, Deacon Lan finally relaxed after sensing that the evil spirit chasing them had given up.

"Um...your name is Tang Ling?"

"Haha, it seems you really know me."

Hearing Butler Lan call his name, Tang Ling smiled softly and asked curiously: "This is my first time coming to the north of the continent. How did you know me?"

But Butler Lan did not speak immediately. Instead, he raised his palm slightly, and the ring on his green-white fingers flashed, and a blue round compass-like object appeared in the palm of his hand.

"I wonder if you could put a drop of your blood on the compass?"

Hearing this, Tang Ling was startled, and immediately looked thoughtful, while his eyes couldn't help but become cold and solemn.

Sensing the change in Tang Ling's expression, Butler Lan panicked and quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to use your blood to verify something. I don't have any malicious intent."

As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Lan's face showed no signs of relief, and he was still thinking about how to dispel Tang Ling's wariness.

Tang Ling was able to appear here at this time, obviously following her and the middle-aged woman. She was followed all the way. If Tang Ling hadn't come to rescue her, I'm afraid she wouldn't have known about it until her death.

Such a person is following behind him.

Thinking of this, a bright light flashed in Butler Lan's eyes, and he spoke again: "Tang Ling, you followed the two of us here. I think you probably heard a rough idea of ​​the conversation between us, right?"

"Absolutely!" When Tang Ling heard this, he nodded without denying it.

However, despite this, his eyes when looking at Butler Lan were still full of vigilance and questioning.

The blue compass in the opponent's hand, judging from what he said, is obviously some kind of artifact that can verify bloodline. When it comes to verifying bloodline, there are only two types of people who need him to verify bloodline.

One is the Ice Tribe, and the other is the Ice Tribe’s enemy!

Although the strength of the blue executive in front of him is not bad, his aura obviously does not have any ice attribute aura.

No matter how strong this kind of person is, he will never be a descendant of the Ice Tribe with the blood of the Ice Spirit Tribe!

Thinking of this, Tang Ling already had a plan in his mind to capture the other party and question everything.

At the same time, Butler Lan who was beside him seemed to have noticed his thoughts, and quickly waved to him, with a helpless smile on his face, and said: "Since you heard my conversation along the way, then you should

You know that I have been staying in Yinhai City to wait for someone."

"Is it me you're waiting for?"

Hearing this, Tang Ling paused when he was about to raise his palm and said in disbelief: "Oh, that's ridiculous. How did you know that I would come here?"

"Bai Li! Lord Bai Li said that you will definitely come here to look for her in one year at the earliest and three years at the latest!" Butler Lan wished she could give herself a slap in the face. Because of being hunted and suddenly meeting Tang Ling, she

I actually forgot the best explanation for a moment.

Looking at Tang Ling again, after hearing what Bai Li said in her mouth, although the look on his face was a little shocked, the look that he had been wanting to take action just now faded away unconsciously.

"Keep talking..." Tang Ling said calmly.

He would never completely believe the other party just because the other party said Bai Li's name. However, Butler Lan knew about Bai Li's existence, which at least prevented him from taking him down.

"call!"

Seeing this scene, Butler Lan finally felt relieved with a wry smile. After exhaling a long breath, he said: "My real name is Lan Ti. I was assigned a task within the clan fifteen years ago. I used the alias Lan Ji and worked in the Jiama Empire.

In the Demon Swamp City in the Western Netherworld Swamp."

"Lan Ji..."

Tang Ling murmured softly, and then thought about it, and knew why he felt that the Butler Lan in front of him seemed familiar.

Demon Swamp City was a city that he and Bai Li stopped at when they were on their way to the Ancient Glacier Road. It was also the only city in the Netherworld Swamp at that time.

In Demon Swamp City, they not only obtained the soul-transforming Yanzhi that helped Bai Li solve his soul's hidden worries, but also relied on chance to snatch the Netherworld Poison Fire from the Glacier River Valley.

Lan Ji, if he remembered correctly, should have been one of the three powerful fighting kings in Demon Marsh City at that time. When he first arrived in Demon Marsh City, his fight with Liu Yue at night even attracted her and the other two fighting kings to come out.

In addition, he also saw the other party from a distance at the auction. If he remembered correctly, was the other party a four-star or five-star fighting king at that time?

However, when he and Bai Li returned from the Glacier Ancient Road, they thought that all the fighting kings in the Demon Marsh City had turned into nourishment for the Netherworld Poison Fire. However, he did not expect that Lan Ji actually escaped from the Dou Zong in the Glacier River Valley with her life.

And now he has half the strength of a Dou Zun!

"Back then, I was placed in the Demon Swamp City by the clan's deacon. If I hadn't hidden my true strength from Dou Zun in the Glacier Valley, I might not have been able to escape that fate that day."

Lan Ji saw that Tang Ling seemed to have recalled it, and after casually explaining what happened at that time, she quickly said: "As of now, I have nothing to hide. I have never met Mr. Bai Li, but after I left

When the clan was dispatched to Yinhai City, the elders of the clan once said that if they wait for you, they will contact you, and if you have any doubts, they will explain some things about Lord Bai Li to gain your trust."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Ji paused for a moment, then told Tang Ling one by one what she had heard from the clan elders.

Listening to Lan Ji's story, Tang Ling nodded lightly.

Although he and Bai Li were not the only ones to know what the other party was talking about, those who knew it were also close relatives and friends such as Yun Yun, his mother and Medusa.

The Lan Ji in front of him could tell a general story, which undoubtedly proved that the other person was exactly the person he was looking for during his trip to the far north.

"How can the Ice Tribe have a strong person with water attributes?"

This question came to mind, but Tang Ling did not ask it out loud. Looking at Lan Ji's look, it was obvious that she knew very little about the Ice Tribe.

Otherwise, this compass-like instrument would not be needed to verify his identity.

"This is a blood-drawing compass. As long as you can influence the movement of this compass, you can directly enter the clan from outside the clan. The resources you enjoy and the power you possess will be increased several times!"

When Lan Ji saw Tang Ling's eyes falling on the compass in her hand, her eyes flickered and she explained in a tone full of envy.

"Outside the clan, within the clan?" Tang Ling was not curious about the Blood Compass. He was more curious about what Lan Ji meant within the clan and outside the clan.

Unexpectedly, after Lan Ji heard his inquiry, she changed her previous attitude of answering everything she asked. She shook her head and said: "As for the clan affairs, before you verify your identity, I will not say a word even if I die."

.”

Hearing this, Tang Ling smiled and said, "Tell me, what should I do to verify my identity?"

"You drop a drop of blood on the center of this compass. If it can cause the compass to rotate and shine as it should, then the verification will be passed."

As she spoke, Lan Ji held her palm, and the compass on her palm rose to several feet in size in the wind.

"The light induced by blood is divided into four grades: white, silver, blue, and blue-gold. According to the elders of the clan, as long as you can induce silver light, your identity has been verified."

"Silver? There are four other colors?"

Hearing Lan Ji's explanation, Tang Ling felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. This seemed to be similar to the ancient clan's bloodline classification. If he remembered correctly, the ancient clan's bloodline grades ranged from low to high, from one to ten.

The colors are silver, gold, purple gold, and colorful gold.

However, Tang Ling always felt that this kind of classification was of little use, especially for the Ice Tribe.

Nowadays, among the Ice Tribe in the far north, they are divided into those within and outside the tribe based on the strength of their bloodline. Does this mean that there is not much Ice Spirit Tribe blood left in their bodies?

Thinking of this, Tang Ling asked curiously: "What color must I reach before I can enter the clan?"

Hearing Tang Ling's words, the awkward look in Lan Ji's eyes flashed away, and she said in a pretentious voice: "If you want to know about the clan's affairs, you still need to verify it first."

She couldn't tell the other party that in fact, there was no need for the compass to bloom in color. As long as her own blood could cause the compass to rotate, she could enter the clan.

Whether it was today or when she was dispatched, she always felt that the elders of the clan were forcing Tang Ling to reach Silver.

After hearing this, Tang Ling said nothing more.

Listening to Lan Ji's story during this period, it was not like he had done nothing. At least the formation and internal structure of the blood-drawing compass in front of him had been clearly studied by him.

Otherwise, if he had not known that there was no danger 100%, he would not have been able to follow the other party's request and test it with blood just based on Lan Ji's words.

Now Lan Ji obviously didn't want to talk too much. He had confirmed that there was no danger, so there was nothing to hesitate about.

He slowly raised his palm, his fingertips hanging directly above the compass. Then a cold light flashed from the pads of his fingers, a small wound appeared, and a drop of blood mixed with a trace of blue brilliance staggered and fell.

Ever since he obtained the Xuantian Ice Record Bloodline Chapter from the Xuantian Ice Wheel, while improving his strength over the years, he has never forgotten to condense his own bloodline.

Although his bloodline concentration was just less than 30% now, he still had a lot of confidence in making the blood-drawing compass in front of him bloom with silver brilliance.

But unlike him, at the moment when the drop of blood with blue brilliance appeared, Lan Ji, who was holding the compass, fell into a sluggish state.

"There is actually blue brilliance flowing in the blood..."

She was promoted into the clan fifteen years ago for unknown reasons, but even now the blood in her body can only emit an almost invisible white light.

She had seen in some records within the clan that during the era when the clan was strong, some strong men in the clan had indeed had a faint blue light in their blood.

And the light that the blood of those people can shine is above silver. In the end, no one can stand at the pinnacle of this Dou Qi continent.

"Could it be that Tang Ling is also such a strong man?"

He felt an unprecedented shock in his heart, but as time passed, the blood drops falling from Tang Ling's fingertips also dripped on the center of the compass, and then slowly seeped in.

At the same time, a lot of rays of light slowly bloomed above the compass. And under the illumination of these rays of light, a rich milky-white light pillar rose into the sky above the compass.

"Just white?"

Before this doubt arose, Lan Ji's pupils shrank sharply.

I saw the milky white light pillar, followed by a little blue light spot lingering up. Within a few breaths, it transformed from milky white to bright silver. Then after a few breaths, a touch of ice blue emerged from the silver light.

The explosion occurred and spread beyond control.

In an instant, a pillar of ice-blue light soared into the sky, in the gray world outside the Soul Cemetery, like a light source that illuminated the world, reflecting a dazzling ice-blue color for dozens of miles around.

"Ice blue..."

Looking at the beam of light emitting dazzling light, Lan Ji subconsciously murmured.

How many years, how many years...

Ever since she had memories, or perhaps ever since they took root here, no one in the new generation of clansmen can make the Blood Compass bloom with ice-blue brilliance.

No!

Even that brilliant silver color has never appeared in the clan’s records for nearly a thousand years!

"Tang Ling, who are you?"

At this moment, Lan Ji was full of confusion, but she also had an indescribable understanding.

No wonder why the elder's expression was so strange when she asked about it when he gave her the task!

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

The compass in Lan Ji's hand rotated rapidly. As the icy blue light became more and more intense, the compass also trembled slightly at this moment. Undetectable cracks appeared quietly and finally spread rapidly.

to the entire compass.

This scene did not escape the eyes of the two people.

"Hurry up and put this compass away. The verification you want has been successful, hasn't it?" Seeing the look of horror on Lan Ji's face, Tang Ling shouted urgently.

"But……"

Lan Ji felt the trembling of the compass in her hand. This situation had never happened before even in the clan's records.

She doesn't want to give up!

Even if there was only one chance in ten thousand, she still wanted to see what the blue-gold light would look like.

But the two of them didn't know that they were not the only ones who saw this ice-blue light pillar at this time. At the entrance of the Soul Cemetery, on the Yin Sea thousands of miles away, those who saw this ice-blue light pillar

, not a few...
