Chapter 10 The Murderous Intent of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion
With a thought, Ye Linyuan's thousand-year-old soul ring shone brightly.
He was enveloped by a layer of bluish-purple light, as if it had been soaked in ink.
next second.
His figure suddenly vanished from his original spot, and with a thunderous roar, he appeared on the other side as if by teleportation.
Poison Undying's pupils contracted slightly, but his gaze fell on the towering tree beside Ye Linyuan.
Crunch!
The next second, the big tree slowly tilted down!
Ye Linyuan exclaimed excitedly, "First Soul Skill, Wind and Thunder Flash Strike!"
"Envelop yourself in the power of wind and thunder, and launch a thrusting attack that is comparable to teleportation."
"Thanks to the blessing of the power of wind and thunder, when attacking, sharpness and attack power are increased by 100%, speed is increased by 300%, and it also comes with the corrosive effect of evil power."
Ye Linyuan paused slightly, seemingly with some regret: "Unfortunately, this soul skill can only achieve its intended goal when moving in a straight line."
"If you encounter an obstacle along the way, a collision will occur. You cannot teleport directly over obstacles and appear at the designated location like you would teleport."
Poison Undying was secretly terrified because of the power of this skill.
But hearing Ye Linyuan's sigh behind him, he couldn't help but glare at Ye Linyuan: "You brat, with such a powerful skill effect, you still don't think it's enough?"
"Sharpness and attack power are doubled, speed is tripled, and it also comes with a troublesome evil attribute corrosion effect."
"Judging from the intensity of that attack, it wasn't just against a Soul Master of the same level, it was almost at the level of a Three-Ring Soul Master! You're still not satisfied?"
Ye Linyuan smiled sheepishly: "Teacher is right, I was a little greedy."
Actually, you can't blame Ye Linyuan for this.
He was, after all, a time traveler, so he would always subconsciously compare himself to Huo Gua.
While the Thousand-Year Wind and Thunder Demon Tiger is indeed powerful, it is still quite different from Huo Gua's Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's first soul ring.
Poison Immortal shook his head helplessly: "How much has your soul power increased after absorbing this soul ring?"
Ye Linyuan laughed and said, "I've increased by two levels, now I'm level thirteen."
Poison Undying nodded slightly: "The total soul power of a Twin Soul Master is almost twice that of an ordinary Soul Master, and both of your Soul Masters are top-tier."
"Being able to increase one level of soul power is already quite good."
He was in high spirits and laughed:
"Let's go! We've got the spirit ring, it's time to go back to the sect! Hahahaha!"
With a wave of his hand, Du Bu Si sent Ye Lin Yuan soaring into the sky, flying towards the Heavenly Soul Empire.
......
Star Luo Empire.
Star City, White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
"Madam, Mr. Lu has returned." A guard came to the study and announced in a low voice.
"Let him in," a voice with a standard aristocratic tone said calmly.
"Yes, madam."
The door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in a light black robe walked in.
After the guards left and he was sure that no one would hear the conversation in the study, the man in black robes whispered, "Madam, something has happened to Long Tao."
"Hmm?" The woman behind the desk sat up straight. "Long Tao is a Soul King. Do you think he would let that lowly mother and son escape?"
The man in black robes shook his head with a solemn expression and said, "No, Madam, Long Tao is dead."
"After I arrived at that small mountain village, I discovered..."
His name was Lu Renjia, and like Long Tao, he was a guest retainer of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
However, their object of service was not the Duke of Baihu, but the Duchess of Baihu, Zhu Ruyan!
A few days ago, the Duchess secretly sent Long Tao to deal with Ye Youlan and that monstrously talented bastard.
The Duchess's original plan was to kill Ye Youlan and her son, and then disguise it as the work of bandits.
Ye Youlan's strength is weak; with Long Tao's Soul King cultivation, he should be able to handle it easily.
But unexpectedly.
Long Tao never returned, and even severed all ties with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
The Duchess sensed something was wrong, which is why she sent Lu Renjia to secretly investigate.
"...I saw Ye Youlan's tombstone on the hillside near the hut, and I secretly dug it up to confirm that it was indeed her."
"After Long Tao's body was discovered by local residents, the city guards were notified. The city guards did not find the murderer and believed it was probably the work of a bandit gang."
"Also, that kid named Ye Linyuan has gone missing."
Lu Renjia quickly gave a detailed report of what he had discovered.
Upon hearing this, the Duchess's expression changed drastically, and she abruptly stood up.
"impossible!"
"Long Tao is a Soul King; with Ye Youlan's strength, she could never be his match!"
Lu Renjia's expression was gloomy as he said in a low voice, "Madam, whatever accident Long Tao encountered, it has already happened."
"My guess is that Long Tao was likely spotted by a powerful figure who happened to be passing by while on a mission."
"That person not only killed Long Tao, but also took Ye Linyuan away."
The Duchess's eyes flashed wildly, chillingly cold.
After a long pause, she gritted her teeth and said:
"That bastard Ye Linyuan has amazing talent. If we let him grow up, he will surely cause endless trouble."
"Lu Renjia, immediately send a message back to the Zhu family, secretly using our own people, to find that bastard and kill him to prevent future trouble!"
"Yes, Madam!"
Lu Renjia responded in a low voice, preparing to leave.
The Duchess suddenly stopped him again and instructed him, "This matter must be carried out in secret; the Duke must never know about it."
"Also, send a message to Yao Heng about this and tell him to keep an eye on things at Shrek Academy."
"Ye Linyuan possesses twin martial souls and may join Shrek Academy in the future."
"If Yao Heng finds that kid at Shrek Academy, kill him without hesitation, given the chance!"
"Yes, sir!"
The study returned to its peaceful state.
But Zhu Ruyan's eyes were shrouded in gloom.
What terrifying existence would be created by combining the terms "Twin Martial Souls" and "Dark Demon Evil God Tiger"?
If he truly grows up, the White Tiger Duke's mansion will never have peace!
"You damned bastard, I will never let you threaten the positions of Yueheng and Huabin, or the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!"
The chilling sound faded away quietly in the study.
......
Shrek Academy.
The outer courtyard.
Dai Yueheng stood under the shade of a tree and opened the secret letter that his mother had sent.
After reading the contents of the secret letter, a look of shock appeared on his face. He muttered, "Twin Martial Souls... Mutated Dark Demon Evil God Tiger... How is this possible?"
He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with jealousy and intense killing intent: "How dare a lowly servant's child possess such terrifying talent!"
"Mother is right. This bastard must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise, my Dai family will suffer a great calamity!"
"Nightfall... Hmph!"
Just then, a girl with long, fiery red hair suddenly ran over and proudly called out, "Dai Yueheng, what are you muttering about over there?"
"Teacher Zhou told us to gather on the playground for morning exercises. Hurry up, it's going to rain soon!"
Dai Yueheng quickly concealed the murderous intent on his face, looked up at Ma Xiaotao, and revealed a gentle smile: "You're here, class monitor."
A dark cloud drifted in from afar, enveloping Shrek Academy.
Dark clouds loom over the city; a storm is brewing.
