Ch. 223Laughing to Death, Mourning, Undercurrents
Ye Lan and Silver Wolf discovered the massacre of the Douluo Warrior Corps and buried its fallen members, while Tang Yuehua and Taino exploited the tragedy to turn public opinion against Martial Soul Hall. As protests spread, Ye Lan’s allies remained confident, and Yu Xiaogang celebrated the unrest without knowing how precarious his relationships had become.
- Ye Lan ordered Silver Wolf to cripple Tang Wei, then suspected the Clear Sky Sect was behind the Chaos of Heaven Dou and continued toward Spirit Hall with him.
- Ye Lan and Silver Wolf found a mountain of bodies in Sunset Forest and learned that marching Soul Masters had clashed with the Douluo Warrior Corps; Ye Lan stopped Silver Wolf from killing the survivor and urged him to gather their fallen comrades.
- Ye Lan and Silver Wolf buried the Douluo Warrior Corps, burned the remaining bodies, and Ye Lan promised compensation to the families of the dead before leading a moment of silence.
- Taino told Tang Yuehua about the massacre, and she urged him to spread the claim that Martial Soul Hall had slaughtered Heaven Dou Soul Masters; the accusation spread across both empires and protests and attacks followed.
- Ning Fengzhi reassured Ning Rongrong that Martial Soul Hall could handle the demonstrations, while Yu Xiaogang celebrated the unrest at Shrek Academy and Liu Erlong resented his fixation on Bibi Dong.
