A few days later...
Inside the hall!
A soldier clad in armor stepped in, bowed, and said, "Xue... Your Majesty Xue Ye, I have an urgent report!"
Upon closer inspection, one could see the soldier's body trembling violently, as if he might collapse at any moment...
Xue Ye, who was dealing with the memorials, paused his actions and turned his gaze towards him, "What is it?"
The soldier swallowed, speaking softly, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns the Crown Prince!"
Hearing this, Xue Ye showed some surprise and delight, "Oh? Could it be that Qing He has already arrived at Martial Soul City and finished discussions with Pope Bibi Dong?"
Faster than I imagined; I initially thought it would take several days!
The soldier's eyelids twitched wildly, yet he nervously continued, "No… not that, Your Majesty."
"Before I explain, I ask Your Majesty to prepare mentally!"
Xue Ye waved his hand, "Prepare mentally? If it's just a failure in cooperation, it's fine."
The result of a failed cooperation was also within my expectations!
The soldier's voice trembled even more, "Your Majesty..."
This scene inexplicably made Xue Ye feel agitated, immediately berating, "Why are you dawdling? What exactly is the matter? Are you not afraid I'll order your execution?"
The soldier dared not waste words; he knelt and hurriedly spilled everything, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and his entourage were attacked by numerous abyssal creatures on their way to the Pope Hall."
"Currently... their life and death are unknown."
Xue Ye's eyes widened, he instantly stood up, "What?? Life and death unknown? How is this possible!"
Then urgently asked, "Weren't Sect Master Ning and Bone Douluo accompanying them on this trip?"
The soldier trembled and replied, "Your Majesty, according to information from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, Sect Master Ning and Bone Douluo have also gone missing."
"Thud"
Xue Ye collapsed onto his throne...
A look of despair on his face, "How could this happen..."
If Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong's lives and deaths are unknown, then Qing He is likely...
The soldier saw this and cautiously said, "Your Majesty, we have already dispatched many soldiers to search!"
"Perhaps, we can find..."
Before he finished talking, Xue Ye mercilessly snapped, "Get out, all of you! Who knew the royal soldiers are just a bunch of useless eaters after all these years!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The soldier dared not linger, quickly leaving the hall, fearing he might lose his head any moment...
At this moment, a Titled Douluo hidden in the shadows stepped forward, comforting, "Your Majesty, please remain calm. The soldier just said the Crown Prince's life and death are unknown, which means no bodies have been found yet; perhaps he's still alive!"
"Moreover, with Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong there, ordinary abyssal creatures could hardly pose a threat!!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Ye's emotions eased slightly, "Huh... You're right, I was a bit too agitated!"
The heavy loss of Qing He is something the entire royal household cannot bear!
...
With these words, Di Tian activated his bloodline, intentionally spreading it in all directions…
In an instant, it directly expanded throughout the federation…
Anyone with a decent concentration of dragon-class Martial Soul bloodline among the Soul Masters heard a powerful dragon roar in their Sea of Consciousness, as if it was singing beside their ear...
They instinctively looked up at the sky, then curiously asked nearby Federation Members, "Did any of you hear any strange sounds?"
The responses were negative!
"Strange sounds? You must still be dreaming."
"Maybe it's just hallucination from being suddenly woken in the middle of the night."
"Could be, who knows which intruder is being so reckless to barge in at such a time!"
But soon, members sharing the same experience shook their heads, saying, "No… it's not an illusion; I heard it too. It seems like a dragon's roar??"
"Exactly, this sound persisted in my ear, not fading away!"
"Wait… could it be that this so-called dragon roar varies among people? What on earth is going on!!"
If only one person heard the dragon roar, it could still be an illusion, but clearly many federation members had heard this sound!
This indicates that it truly exists!
Meanwhile, Tang Wulin, observing the situation downstairs, also heard the intense dragon roar in his mind…
However, thanks to the rich bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, he perceived the sound more distinctly, allowing him to roughly deduce the opponent's location!!
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, thinking solemnly, "This is… a dragon roar with a guiding intent? And it resonates with the Golden Dragon King's bloodline inside me!"
In his memory, only one person could achieve this, and that's Gu Yue!
Therefore, she's likely calling me using this method!
Considering Gu Yuena's expression when leaving the Federation Parliament Hall, it all made sense!!
With this in mind, his eyes grew more determined…
No matter what, I must go and see!
Just as he was about to set off, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder…
It was Wu Changkong!
With a cold voice, he said, "Wulin, what are you doing sneaking around here? Didn't even notice me approaching!"
Tang Wulin regained his composure, softly saying, "Teacher Wu!"
Wu Changkong gazed into his eyes, "Answer my previous question!"
Tang Wulin, slightly guilty, replied, "I just heard about an invasion in the federation, so I came down specially to observe the situation!"
Wu Changkong heard this and stared at him intensely...
I only asked what he was doing here; why is he so nervous?
Could it be Wulin himself who invaded the federation?
But soon, he shakes off this idea with a sharp shake of his head!
He reminded, "Go back to your room quickly; we still don't know the invader's motives! Being alone outside could be dangerous!"
Though moved at heart, Tang Wulin still spoke up, "Um, Teacher Wu, I've already broken through to Hyper Douluo..."
Wu Changkong's expression changed, scolding, "What, broke through to Hyper Douluo and think you're invincible? Even Ultimate Douluo can perish!"
"Or are you thinking that now you've become the Sea God Pavilion Master, I'm no longer qualified to teach you?"
"If that's the case, then letting you take this position was too...!"
Aware that the subsequent conversation would be lengthy, Tang Wulin quickly waved his hand, saying, "Wait, Teacher Wu, I know I was wrong! I never thought I was invincible!"
"Moreover, you've always taught me that you're my teacher for life, irrelevant to identity!"
If Teacher Wu kept talking, the aura would soon fade beyond my perceptual reach!
Wu Changkong then coldly "hmphed," saying, "Take good care of yourself; since Xu Sheng died for you, I hope you don't let down his expectations!"
Tang Wulin's eyes erupted with tremendous killing intent, "I surely will, even if it costs my life, to slay the Abyssal Emperor!!"
